The Lord of the Void.
This was probably the first time that Ash announced his ambitions to the world. He has always been a person who lives for the moment, like a wild fat cat. He would only run very fast when he realized that he was going to be slaughtered. At other times, he just wanted to live a lazy life. It would be even better if the girls allowed him to have some private time... He had fantasized countless times that if he had not been captured and imprisoned in Broken Lake Prison, and had teamed up with Sword Lady to explore the virtual world and have a long-distance relationship, if he had not ridden a motorcycle with the witch out of the Gospel Palace, if he had not fought against the gods with Silver Lantern in the Spiral of Silence, and if he had not fought side by side with Vichy in the Cage of Stars, he might have become a true pure love warrior and lived a peaceful and happy life with Sonia.
It was fate that pushed him to the forefront of the storm again and again, and it was the Final Five that wrote a great script of displacement for him. At the end, looking back, Ash was surprised that he had gone through so many disasters and gritted his teeth to persevere through the sleepless nights.
But he never resented his life.
If you don't step into the long river of destiny from the beginning, you can indeed avoid a lot of sorrow, but you will also miss a lot of beautiful things.
Ash had experienced powerless despair many times, but not once was hesitant and missed. He was indeed a lazy and lazy person, but when it came to going all out, he never spared his life for a second. Although everyone who knew him complained that this was his biggest shortcoming without exception...but they all followed him to the unpredictable battlefield without hesitation.
What kind of ending is worthy of all the hardships along the way?
The seven virtual wings that Ash spread out at will at this moment were his answer.
Even if the ending is destined to be a tragedy, it should be a tragedy without regrets.
Seeing Ash's shining and colorful wings, Fanxing's face gradually turned cold. Although she was originally a person who did not show her emotions, perhaps because of Fili, even in the state of God Lord, her eyebrows and eyes contained some girlish agility, just like Fili could not stop her heart from jumping when she saw Ash, even if it was not shown on her face, it would be revealed in her eyes.
However, at this moment, the anger of the stars seemed to completely overwhelm Fili's humanity. The mirror lake reflecting the moonlight in her eyes was frozen for thousands of miles, leaving only the arrogance of dominating the world.
"Is this your carefully considered answer?"
She said in a cold voice: "I thought you had either made sufficient preparations to fight for the Eight Wings these days, or faced reality and gave up your fantasies...but you just spread these clumsy wings? Are you underestimating me, Ash Hiss!"
Ash's virtual wings were not unchanged. Compared to six days ago, his silver, gold, rainbow, colorless, and hell virtual wings had all grown to varying degrees. In addition to their length, the color and brightness of the wings were also deeper, enough to suppress the billions of brilliance in the sea of stars. There was no star brighter than him in the entire seventh level of the virtual realm.
But this level of progress is completely meaningless in the Supreme War.
Fanxing slowly spread her virtual wings. Her first six wings had already been transformed into star-blue sword color after thousands of years of divine nurturing, and her supreme tail feathers were bright star-blue from the beginning. However, in addition to her virtual wings, Ash's colorful sword wings also swayed seductively behind her like a tail, just like her eighth virtual wing.
Compared to Ash's magnificent wings, the virtual wings of stars are purer and closer to the ultimate eight wings of magic!
"Are these new bonds you have established the final result of your six days?"
The starry eyes glowed with a cross, and Ash felt that everything about him was exposed in her eyes. "Is this the only way you can respond to the gift that Fili took so much trouble to give you? You haven't even conquered the Seven Heavens and taken their kingdoms and the secret world into your hands... With your ability, you may not be able to subdue the Lord of the Blood Moon, the Lord of the Infinite Abyss, and the Lord of the Fantasy Music, but isn't it easy for you to subdue the Lord of the Omniscient Weaver?"
Ash's mouth curled up, "I guess you mean that the All-Knowing Weaver is more sensible about current affairs?"
"But you did almost nothing in these six days. You just stayed in your paradise all day, enjoying every moment."
The voice of the stars became increasingly indifferent, but the anger kept surging as if it was going to burn through the belly, mixed with a trace of indescribable disappointment... This must be Fili's mood. She was just irritated by Ash's attitude... The starry sky began to speed up, and she was like the only protagonist on this stage, looking down at the tiny Ash from above:
"And yet you actually had the nerve to come to me and declare that you would never give up and fight for the Eight Wings in the name of the Lord of the Void Realm..."
"I thought you were my equal."
She slowly closed her eyes, "I was seeing things."
The starry sky stagnated at this moment, and supernova explosions from all directions illuminated the entire sea of stars. The silent anger and disappointment completely ignited the entire seventh level of the virtual realm.
Ash restrained his expression and said seriously: "I don't underestimate you, Fanxing."
“I can neither pick it up nor put it down.”
Fanxing ignored Ash's explanation. Her voice became the only accompaniment of the supernova explosion: "You said you were determined, but you don't have enough ability. Once again, you are like a crying child, praying for a miracle to help you realize your wish... But you and I are the supreme magicians. We are the miracle itself!"
“We are not children, but decision-makers who guide the world forward, supervisors who manage all living things, and adults who are responsible for sending down miracles to fulfill wishes… There will be no one more powerful than us, no one will see your tears, no one will listen to your cries, and no one will send down miracles to help you achieve a perfect ending!”
"Not knowing what is right, not knowing what the price is, I self-righteously hide in a fortress called 'belief', believing that as long as the magician works hard, all wishes can be fulfilled, and believing that miracles will give everyone a happy ending..."
"Ash Hiss," Fanxing said word by word, "You not only underestimated me, but also underestimated the world... The world and I have never been so gentle."
"Believe me, Stars." Ash smiled, "No one understands this better than me. I have fought both you and the world many times."
"I don't deny that I am like a child in some ways... but isn't that what a magician is like? They want everything to come true, they are greedy and have wild ideas, just like a child... including you, Fanxing. You are not even as mature as Fili."
"What?" Fanxing wanted to laugh and didn't even have the mind to refute, but wanted to hear what Ash continued.
"No magician is not greedy. I have always wondered what you want." Ash said, "Are you pursuing the ultimate in magic like Vichy? But you are not keen on power. For you, magic is just a necessary tool. So do you want to completely control the world? But you have been the first god for many years, but you have never established absolute authority to conquer the seven heavens. For you, power is just a decoration."
"Are you really as indifferent as you appear? That's even more impossible. Only a magician with strong emotions can persist for thousands of years. A truly heartless person would have long since fallen into self-destruction due to confusion and boredom."
"It wasn't until you got angry at me for not being strong enough that I finally understood what your heart really wanted."
A smile flashed across Ash's lips, and he said calmly:
“Mission is the ultimate pursuit of your life.”
The expression of the stars did not change, but the starry sky began to move slowly.
"You believe that you are the only saint qualified to decide the fate of the world. You have the obligation to guide civilization on the right path. You will not leave this world to incompetent people."
Ash said, "I don't know whether you were born a saint since you were a mortal, or whether you developed a sense of mission after ruling the world for many years on the throne of God... but you do pursue this as your lifelong goal. Strength and power are not what you desire, but you must have them to have the 'right to make decisions'."
"That's why you're angry because I'm not strong enough, because I'm the only magician in thousands of years who is qualified to compete with you for decision-making power. You certainly don't expect me to defeat you, you just need my failure or obedience to show that you're right... Just like the villain always proudly explains his plan in front of the protagonist, you also look forward to an opportunity to crush my will with your worldview."
Fanxing sneered: "Do you think I need your approval? Is this an illusion given to you by Fili?"
"Even if Fili wasn't here, Fanxing, you would still need my approval." Ash wasn't ashamed at all. "You are a great magician with a heart as strong as iron, but being great doesn't mean you are not vain. People like you who hide all the emotions in their hearts, on the contrary, are more eager to be recognized by people of the same level. Because of abstinence, it is blazing."
"In fact, I also admit that you are qualified to decide the fate of the world. Looking at all the magicians I know, there is only one person who can surpass you. Others, including me, do not have the capacity to bear the world."
"Who can surpass me?" Fanxing asked immediately: "Sword Princess? Silver Lantern? You don't mean Vichy, do you?"
“那个人就是未来的我，终末观者。”亚修宽慰道：“不过繁星你也不必气馁，终末观者可是来自真正破灭的未来，埋葬了六十三个世界的收敛师，并且创造出能够颠覆术师文明的羁绊系统的命运至高，你能跟他相提并论，足以说明你确实是古今无双的术师。”
繁星沉默下来，她有点想痛斥亚修的臭不要脸，但另一方面又不得不承认素未谋面的终末观者确实不是目前的她所能媲美——光是‘羁绊系统’，繁星就知道自己与观者到底存在多大的差距，甚至她都是因此受益。
亚修饶有兴致地观察繁星的微表情，轻笑道：“你果然还是很幼稚，只是因为出现一个自己暂时无法超越的目标就会感到沮丧。”
“你这些无聊的挑衅，我也该听腻了。”繁星虽然是这么说，但仍然没有运转源力，她还想听听这个男人会说出什么屁话。
或许是因为从此以后的所有时间，她都再也听不见任何人的声音。
“我说你没菲莉成熟可不是乱说的。”亚修说道：“你的使命感也是要建立在感情之上，不存在没有感情的使命，再加上我曾经跟你在地狱并肩作战过，我很清楚你其实深爱这个你守望了数千年的世界。”
“可你现在却能为了做出正确的选择而舍弃它，几乎连一丝犹豫都没有，不像我这样还会想方设法寻找完美的结局，说明你虽然爱它，但从不曾试图拥有它。因为从来都没有过，所以不在乎失去。”
“是你软弱到无法舍弃该舍弃的东西，不肯接受命运。”繁星平静反驳道：“能改变的不能改变的，能选择的不能选择的，都是命运。”
“但在我看来，你只是因为害怕出去玩会受伤，所以就一直待在房间里不出门的胆小鬼罢了。”亚修笑道：“或许你以前曾经有过追求完美但失败的经历，于是你从此就坚定自己的行事法则，只在能力范围内实现最大的‘正确’，绝不会追求能力范围之外的‘奇迹’。”
“完美是不存在的，必须付出代价才能获得回报，你将这条法则贯彻到极致，就是你将一切都视为随时都可以放弃的代价。所以你自始至终都维持绝情绝性的心境，远远守望着这个世界却不接近，因为你是决定世界命运的大人，大人要公平公正，怎么可以有偏爱的孩子？一旦有偏爱，就可能舍不得放弃。”
“你简直就像是曾经搬过家的孩子，整天呆在家玩玩具，只敢通过窗户注视在外面玩耍的其他孩子。因为你因为搬家失去过朋友，为了不再失去，所以你选择不再拥有。”
“多可笑，你不接触这个世界，就是为了此时此刻可以毫不留情地抛弃它，就像孩子不交朋友，就是为了可以随时搬走……你躲进名为「使命」的房间，因为只有这里你才能不受伤害，你根本没有勇气走出房间一步，哪怕是触碰外面的棉花都可能会刺痛……”
“你根本比菲莉还要幼稚，菲莉明知道自己的生命很可能会突然终结，但依旧努力地活着，每天都要精疲力尽才愿意入睡，生怕自己浪费一分一秒。跟菲莉相比，你只是一个又乖又幼稚还自我意识过剩的胆小鬼罢了，藏在「使命」的房间里，玩「正确」的玩具，却从来不敢走出房间接触你所爱的世界！”
“你的遗言。”
繁星面无表情，举手接来一束星光，挥出燃尽星海的伽玛暴剑，刹那间星空倒转，群星的亿万光辉黯然失色，虚境七层仿佛被刺眼光耀的极致的剑光撕开两半！
“还真够漫长。”
四色·银色葬魂曲！
亚修瞬间围绕自己画出两个剑围之圆，所有越过剑围的炽烈剑光都会直接从另外一个圆出去，他就像是视频里缺失的部分，时空里断开的真空，无法选中无法触及！
这是他这些天所准备好的最强防御神迹，免疫一切杀伤，诸法不侵立于不败之地！
但不过数个呼吸，繁星就注意到银色葬魂曲的玄妙，在攻势中不断调整伽玛暴剑的基础术式，仅仅是十几秒后，亚修就看见剑围之圆边缘泛起银色的弧光，这意味着伽玛暴剑已经能伤及银色葬魂曲，亚修必须燃烧源力才能继续抵抗繁星的万丈星光！
战斗经验与术法境界的差距还是太大了……哪怕亚修被终末五人组拔苗助长，但对上真正的参天大树还是相形见绌。
虽然他也能在战斗里改变神迹术式来阻止繁星的破解，可他的变招速度远逊色于繁星。繁星甚至能提前察觉出他的变招倾向，同时改变术式，当亚修变招完毕发现繁星瞬间就破解他的新术式！
如影随形，赶尽杀绝！
“按照实力对比，似乎你才是真正的小孩子。”繁星语气里带着一丝讥讽：“假如我复活了你，以后不要轻易口出狂言，那只会暴露出你的软弱。”
在繁星面前，亚修仿佛真的成了弟弟，他怎么伸手都碰不到她，而她只需要伸手就能按住他的脑袋，将怎么打就怎么打！
“同样是小孩子，你是那种觉得只有自己有资格，所以将所有事都揽在自己身上，从不跟其他人商量的孤独小孩。”明明处于绝对劣势，但亚修仍然云淡风轻，甚至敢继续挑衅：“我以前也跟你一样，觉得只有自己能拯救世界，所以谁都不告诉，想做悲情的孤胆英雄……然后我就被狠狠教训了一顿。”
“但小孩子有许多小伙伴啊！”亚修纵声欢笑：“这一次，我不用再孤军奋战，我背后就是千军万马！”
“就凭你那点虚翼？”繁星都有点怀疑他是不是疯了。
亚修笑着摇摇头，纠正道：“错了，这次并非是他们成为我的羽翼帮我征服绝境，而是我成为她们的羽翼……”
“帮她们征服世界！”
什么意思？
这是亚修第二次提到征服世界，繁星隐隐意识到这可能不是什么增长气势的修饰词汇。而且亚修开始主动触及虚境七层的底层架构，斑斓色彩如同浪潮再次冲击星海，试图跟她争夺虚境七层的主导权。
先不提亚修不可能争得过，就算亚修能主导虚境七层，但在术法至高这个位阶，术师的战斗就是虚翼的战斗，只要繁星保持双至高虚翼的巨大优势，足以抚平这些微不足道的差距——
就在这个时候，繁星注意到亚修虚翼出现的变化，顿时瞳孔骤缩，心里冒出一个难以置信的猜想。
……
……
繁星国度，星桥大厅。
这个终日运转不息的六国运输中枢此刻空无一人，血月和福音两大国度同时申请包场一小时，清空各国所有人员。其他国家虽然感觉有些奇怪但也没有细究，以为两国要交易高危物品，乖乖退出星桥大厅。
随着术法涟漪震**，大厅六角星唯一一个没有放置空间门的一角，忽然垂下一帘映照风花雪月的梦幻光帘。
六位焦躁不安的女术师同时看过去，纷纷松了口气。
滋滋滋——
首先是阴柔的金发术师走出光帘，紧接着一头卷毛的黑皮术师紧随其后，星桥大厅里响起极其刺耳狂躁的撕裂声，连带其他空间门都泛起涟漪，吓得刚进来的半神都紧张起来。
被两位半神连续穿越，梦幻光帘瞬间崩溃不复存在。伊古拉和哈维环视一周，他们首先朝安楠和塔玛希点点头，看见黛达萝丝和菲利克斯时脸上露出若有所思的表情，最后才看向希芙琳和芙瑞雅的血月二人组。
“叙旧的事以后有时间再说吧。”安楠干脆利落说道：“那两座空间门通往地渊和乐园，你们自己分配吧。”
“还真是将最难啃的骨头分给我们……”欺诈师叹了口气：“就不能让我们去我们熟悉的国度吗？”
紫怨影妃抚摸了一下耳坠，似笑非笑瞥了他们一眼：“你难道想跟我们这些本国人比熟悉程度？「印记」呢？”
伊古拉也只是随口抱怨一句，从空间指环拿出六个盒子。盒子一离开伊古拉的手，就自动飞到对应主人的手上，赫然是已经提前绑定了主人。
芙瑞雅是唯一拿到戒指的，美滋滋戴在无名指上，止不住地傻笑，周边空气都浮现出鲜花绽放的幻境；
希芙琳是一对手链，如果双手并起来手链会自动连起来拷上，她看着这一幕陷入了沉思；
安楠是一枚耳坠，她立刻摘掉自己那枚真货紫晶石，只留下亚修送的便宜货和这枚新耳坠；
塔玛希则是一对带铃铛脚链，显然她非常疑惑亚修要为自己定制这种只会增加破绽的饰品类型，但还是乖乖戴上，干脆连长靴都不穿了；
菲利克斯是一条项链，她思索了一下，摘下一直戴着的星钻项链，换上亚修送的项链；
Finally, it was Deda Rose, who wore a pair of white gloves inlaid with diamonds, the only custom mark that was not jewelry. She didn't seem to care that she was different from others, and put them on with a normal expression.
Bringing the mark to them, Igula's mission was half completed, so he waved his hand and led Harvey to the space gate. At this time, Freya suddenly called them and stammered, "My lords, may I ask what the mark that Ash gave you looks like?"
Everyone looked over curiously. An Nan looked at them for a moment and his expression changed: "I don't see any jewelry... Did Ash give you some underwear?"
"What?" The sorceresses looked at them in shock. Freya clenched her fists with envy on her face: "Damn it, I want it too—"
Shivlin slapped the back of the Veela's head in annoyance: "Don't want everything, it will only hurt you!"
"If you want to, just tell him no. I'm sure he'll be happy to give it to you." Igula took out a paper umbrella and opened it. "But please don't slander my innocence."
"Mine is a coffin, and Igula's is an umbrella." Harvey summoned a coffin and put it on his back, complaining incessantly, "To be honest, Ash has poor taste. The cypress wood he chose is too hard and out of fashion decades ago. Paulownia and Chinese toon are obviously more fashionable choices..."
Everyone was stunned. Even coffin wood can be fashionable?
Igula tapped Harvey on the head to signal him to stop. At this time, Harvey looked back at them and asked curiously: "The "Mark" was given to us by Ash yesterday, but you all seem to know it... Have you seen Ash recently?"
The female magicians who were about to leave looked at each other with different expressions. An Nan touched her earrings, folded her hands in front of her chest, and said casually: "I saw you last night."
Last night? But didn't Ash leave the Seventh Heaven? Or can the human world meet the Seventh Heaven now?
The necromancer was a little confused, but the female sorcerers had already taken the time to split into three groups and head to the Kingdom of Blood Moon, the Kingdom of Stars, and the Kingdom of Gospel. With Igula and Harvey about to go to the Abyss and Paradise, they were about to set foot in the five most powerful kingdoms in the world at the same time.
Before entering the space gate, Igula grabbed the necromancer and said seriously: "In order to prevent you from being addicted to the corpse party, Harvey, please repeat our mission."
"First, always keep in sync with the 'bond mark' given by Ash;"
"Second, act as the messenger of the Lord of the Void Realm;"
"Third." Harvey took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was seven o'clock in the afternoon. The blue night outside was slowly dissolving the last line of defense of the day, exactly as planned.
"Conquer the world in one night."
