He is not as selfless as Zhou Ping, nor does he care about the world as much as Wang Mian. After all, he is still the boy who knelt beside the dying body of Zhao Kongcheng in Cangnan City, pointed at the neon-lit city in the rain in the distance, and asked, "Is it worth it for them?"

He knew his choice, and perhaps it was unworthy of the identity of "Night Watchman", but so what?

He joined the Night's Watch not for the purpose of protecting the common people, but for a ten-year agreement.

Along the way, Lin Qiye has experienced a lot and met all kinds of night watchmen, Ye Fan, Zuo Qing, Li Deyang, Wang Mian, Lu Qiu... He admired the shining spirit in them and was trying his best to fulfill his duties and be a qualified night watchman.

But deep in his soul, he is still Lin Qiye first, and the Night Watchman second.

Just as [Night] said when it was founded, "The world is too big, and there are too many people. We can't manage them all, and we don't want to manage them all... I just want the people I cherish to be safe and sound under this night..."

Within the range of the night, Lin Qiye can protect the people of the world.

But now he is still too weak, and his night can only protect those around him and those he cherishes.

Although doing so might be unfair to the king, and might make him unworthy of being a night watchman...if he could stand here now, relying on the [Immortality] given to him by Galan, and watch the people he cherishes die in front of his eyes, and survive alone, then he would no longer be Lin Qiye.

then,

Lin Qiye passed through the turbid sea water,

He came to the long knife that pierced deeply into the stomach wall.

His eyes were full of determination.

Just as he stretched out his hand and his fingertips were about to touch the hilt of Yi Yuan, a helpless sigh came from behind him.

"well……"

Lin Qiye's body shook, and when he was about to turn his head, a hand gently grabbed his wrist and put it down.

At some point, Merlin appeared, wearing a dark blue magic robe, a large hood, holding a glowing scepter in his hand, and standing quietly behind him.

"Mr. Merlin?!"

The moment he saw this figure, Lin Qiye was stunned.

It took him several seconds to react, a look of shock appearing on his face.

You know, this is not the Gods' Asylum. Merlin can appear here without his permission, which means...

"You are discharged from the hospital?" Lin Qiye asked in surprise.

Merlin smiled slightly, his deep eyes staring into Lin Qiye's eyes, as if he could see into the deepest part of his heart.

"If I don't come out, you will have a demon in your heart..."

Lin Qiye stood there in a daze.

Merlin was right.

His decision to draw the knife was indeed a choice made in accordance with his deepest heart, and he would never regret it... But at the same time, once he drew the knife, it would mean that his identity as a Night Watchman would be stained with a stain that could never be washed away.

How would he face his identity as a night watchman? How would he face the new recruits in the training camp? And how would he face the king?

The moment he pulls out the knife, the night watchman Lin Qiye will cease to exist.

Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't regret it."

"I know you won't regret it, but there are some things that are better not to do." Merlin patted his shoulder, his eyes fell on the long sword, and spoke calmly in a very reassuring tone.

"Don't worry, I will take care of everything for you."

Lord Merlin stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Qiye behind him. He looked up at the silver ring that was getting closer and closer, his eyes narrowed slightly, and star marks flashed through his eyes, as if he could peek into the trajectory of fate.

Lin Qiye looked at the tall and majestic figure, and his anxious and panicky emotions suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his mind completely relaxed.

Merlin gave him the feeling of an extremely reliable patriarch. Now that he was here, all the difficulties that were currently bothering Li Lin Qiye would be easily solved.

Can this closed time loop trap them, can it trap the great god of magic?

Praise the God of Magic!!

"Sir Merlin, do you have a way to rescue us without destroying the time loop?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask.

"Of course." Merlin nodded, retracted his gaze, and added, "But there is no need..."

"Why?"

"This closed loop has been destroyed. Even if I use magic to send you all out, it will automatically collapse after the law of time wipes out everything...

What’s more, its mission has been basically accomplished.”

Mission basically accomplished?

When Lin Qiye heard the last sentence, he began to wonder, "What is its mission?"

"I'll tell you later." Merlin looked at the end of the long sword in front of him, the slowly rotating ring of light, and said lightly, "Now, I have to end this first."

As the silver ring above his head gradually approached, in the deep sea, Merlin stretched out his palm, gently grasped the handle of [Yi Yuan], and slowly pulled it out with force...

The blade slowly withdrew from the stomach wall, and the circular light at the tail end flickered violently. Time around Merlin began to fluctuate chaotically, sometimes speeding up, sometimes slowing down, and sometimes nearly stopping... It was like a TV screen with a stuck signal, mysterious and weird.

Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly, and a white magic circle opened under his feet, adjusting the flow of time to the same frequency as the surroundings. He suddenly exerted force with his palm and pulled the knife out of the stomach wall like lightning.

At the same time, the silver ring that was constantly expanding above suddenly stopped, and then automatically shattered into pieces and disappeared into nothingness.

The laws of time here have been completely abolished.

…

Outside the fishing village.

Along the coast late at night, bright searchlights have already been set up, illuminating the entire coastline as bright as day. Figures are walking busily on the beach, seemingly recording data.

Lu Ruici stood beside the carriage, looking at Master Chen who was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock on the shore in the distance, and sighed helplessly.

"Haven't you found the fishing village yet?" Zhou Dao asked, walking over from a distance.

Lu Ruici shook his head. "Master has been sitting there for a day, but still hasn't found a way to enter the fishing village... I don't know what happened to [Mask] and [Night] inside."

Zhou Dao opened his mouth and was about to say something when suddenly, a loud shattering sound came from the sky.

Under the dim sky, a silver ring flashed, and then a translucent field opened up from the void, black evil flames burned fiercely, and an extremely terrifying wave suddenly descended.

At the beginning, it didn't think it needed to use weapons to face such an opponent, but at this moment it had to take out its weapons, otherwise, it would be unable to resist. No matter how strong it is, it will continue to consume its energy. Once its own bloodline power is consumed excessively, it will also damage its origin.

"I have to say, you've exceeded my expectations. But now I'm going to use all my strength." As Cao Yuwei spoke, the Phoenix True Fire gathered towards it like a vast ocean, and actually took back the Phoenix True Flame domain.

The blazing Phoenix Fire condensed around its body, transforming into a gorgeous golden-red armor covering its entire body. Holding a sword in hand, it stared at the handsome young man like a demon.

The beautiful young lady did not pursue, but stood at a distance, trying to calm down her somewhat excited mood. Although this battle did not last long, her emotions were becoming more and more excited.

Before she really faced the Great Demon King-level Undead Fire Phoenix, she didn't know if she could really resist it. Her confidence came from what Tang San had given her before. As the battle continued, when she really began to suppress her opponent and protected herself from the Phoenix True Fire with the Seven-Colored Sky Fire Liquid, she knew that she could really do it.

Over the past hundred years, Tang San had taught her many fighting skills, all of which were most suitable for her to use. Just like the Netherworld Stab and Netherworld Claws. And the Sword Star Cold that just broke Cao Yuwei's finger for the first time. In Tang San's opinion, these were all true divine skills, and after he slightly modified them and taught them to the beautiful young lady, they were all most suitable for her to perform.

The more she used these abilities, the more the beautiful young lady could not help but be convinced by Tang San. When Tang San first told her that these were divine skills, she was somewhat confused. However, at this time, she was able to cross levels and continuously injure and oppress her opponents. If it was not a divine skill, how could she do it with the difference in cultivation?

At this moment, all the emperors standing on the Imperial Sky Pillar looked at this little girl with new eyes. When the Phoenix True Flame Domain appeared, they were still considering how long the beautiful young man could last under this domain. The White Tiger Great Demon King and the Crystal Phoenix Great Demon King were even ready to rescue. However, as the battle continued, they were stunned to see that the beautiful young man actually suppressed a great demon king of the Undead Fire Phoenix Clan, suppressed him in the true sense, and even forced him to be reborn from the ashes. How incredible this is
