"I know about Kongmen Shuling." Weisser asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"The Kongmen magic spirit can create a passage to other places." Ash said, "This naturally includes other countries."
"I know, but—"
"Do you know why I came to the Spiral of Silence?"
Weisser was startled. To be fair, although she was a little surprised by Ash's appearance, it was not unexpected. Her relationship with Ash was a mess. Moreover, she had caused such a big commotion in the Spiral of Silence that it was natural for Ash to be the unexpected engine.
Weisser originally thought that she would meet Ash when she opened the Spiral of Silence, and then she would have to fight hard to reach the 18th floor. Unexpectedly, the journey was so easy, and Ash came belatedly to attend her coronation ceremony after everything was settled.
Her first reaction was that Ash came here on purpose to stop her, but then she thought again, it seemed like only a few days would pass before she activated the Spiral of Silence, and even if Ash traveled day and night, it would be difficult for him to get here from neutral areas such as Black Robe Town.
In other words, when she activated the Spiral of Silence, Ash was already on the way.
His destination was also the Spiral of Silence, but not for himself. Now Ash had only one goal, and with the help of the Void Gate Spirit...
"Are you here at the Spiral of Silence to use the Void Gate Spirit to create a passage to other realms?"
Ash nodded. "You probably know the shortcomings of the Void Gate Magic Spirit. If used on the ground, the Void Gate passage is not only unstable, but also has a high probability of leading to turbulent water. Even if it is a real passage, the other side may be mud, magma, or ocean current."
"But some of us learned from the Questions and Answers on Destiny that the correct way to use the Kongmen Magic Spirit is to use it underground. The farther from the ground, the more stable the Kongmen channel is, and it is easier to refresh the real channel... We are here to refresh the real channel to the Gospel Kingdom."
"So, there is a solution." Ash grabbed Weisser's shoulders and said excitedly: "The Senluo Kingdom can be destroyed, but before it is destroyed, we can create a stable empty gate channel and transfer all the Senluo people to a safe country!"
Weisser's lips trembled slightly, but she quickly said, "Other countries do not welcome foreign travelers. If you rashly go there, you will only be treated as pests!"
"You can go to the Kingdom of Gospel!" Ash said, "The Queen of the Kingdom of Gospel is my daughter...my relative. I should be able to convince her to accept the Senluo people. Besides, the Senluo people only have tens of millions of people, which is more than enough for the Kingdom of Gospel to absorb them."
"Even if we don't go to the Gospel Kingdom, going to Blood Moon or other kingdoms is better than staying in the wasteland and waiting to die. If we go to other kingdoms, we still have a chance of survival, but if we stay in the wasteland, our dreams will be shattered along with them!"
Weisser shook her head. "But how could they be willing to leave the wasteland? The Senluo people are all religious lunatics. They are only willing to stay in the Senluo Kingdom to realize their ideals. Moreover, this is their homeland... Even if it is desolate and chaotic, with no stars in the night sky and scorpion grasses everywhere, it is still the land where they were born and raised."
"Yes, I also think it's difficult to drive the Senluo people out of the wasteland. When I came here, I was thinking about how to solve this problem. After all, even if we throw out evidence, most people will definitely not believe it - they can't accept this kind of future." Ash looked at Weisser and said seriously: "But you have solved the biggest difficulty!"
"I?"
"As you gradually take over the Senluo Dream, the wasteland will also turn into a dead place, as if the end of the world is approaching step by step!" Ash said: "Even religious lunatics will not waste their lives in a deadly situation. They will definitely keep their lives and wait until they are more needed before giving them up."
"If the newly born concept of the Empty Gate is the way to untie the knot, then Yindeng, you are the hand that unties the knot! It is precisely because of your coercion that the Senluo magicians will inevitably study how to use the Empty Gate magic spirit to escape from the wasteland, whether they are willing or not!"
"Then, Senluo Zhanzhu, Senluo people, and Senluo country can all start over." Yaxiu said, "Silver Lantern, you don't have to work hard anymore."
Weisser slid down quietly, with a dazed expression, and sat on the beach muttering, "It seems... it really works."
It's not that she didn't know about the Kongmen magic spirit, but after trying it a few times, she felt that it was not very useful and too random, so she didn't pay much attention to it. In addition, she couldn't log into the virtual world because of the damage to her soul these days, and she rarely went out in reality except for collecting intelligence. All of this made Weisser misjudge the Kongmen magic spirit.
"If that's the case, then isn't Gray Fox Magician extremely wrong?" Weisser suddenly laughed, "And the same goes for Lord Senluo. Everyone who died in the Dead City is..."
Ash squatted down, looked at her and said, "Actually, they didn't make the wrong choice. It's just that when they made the choice, there was no better choice."
"Two hundred years ago, it was the right choice. When you entered the Dead City, it was the right choice. Even when I first came to the Senluo Wasteland, it was still the right choice."
"But who could have expected that the newly formed concept could actually allow the normalization of the concept of space gates between countries?" Ash found it funny when he thought about it: "Could it be that the four people who seized the inheritance all wanted to travel through countries?"
Weisser was startled, glanced at him, and silently watched the little hermit crab crawling out of the sand.
"Moreover, their efforts were not in vain. If you hadn't become the dream master, this migration plan would have been out of the question." Ash said, "No one knows when they will become the protagonist destined by fate."
"So, let's go."
Ash extended his hand to her: "Let's go back and reverse this tragedy."
Weisser looked at him calmly, and remained silent for a long time. A helpless smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she stretched out her hand——
Don't let go of Ash's hand.
"I'm not you. I don't have an excessive sense of justice, nor am I interested in watching people I don't know applaud me." Weisser stood up and said, "If you want to be a savior, go ahead. You have to go back to the Kingdom of Gospel anyway, even if it means bringing back some demographic dividends for your queen."
Ash was a little surprised and asked in confusion: "What about you? You're not leaving?"
"Why should I leave?" Weisser walked to the shallow water, letting the seawater cover her calves. "Whether there is an open passage or not, what I have to do remains the same."
Ash looked at her back and asked, "Are you still determined to destroy Sen Luo? Stay here and be buried with Sen Luo?"
"Yeah, I won't leave." Weisser shrugged. "I have been planning for this for more than ten years. The average life expectancy of Senluo people is only 25 years old. This matter has lasted through my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. It is my life... If I give up on it, it would be equivalent to denying my life."
"The people of Senluo are all religious lunatics, and I am no exception." She raised her head and closed her eyes, letting the sea breeze caress her face: "Destroying Senluo is my belief."
Ash shook his head. "But now that we have the empty door passage, we can just leave Senluo to fend for himself. There is no need anymore..."
"In Senluo, faith has always been a necessity of life." Weisser said, "Besides, do you really have to make it so clear to me - I enjoy this job."
"ah?"
"At the beginning, I might really be running to save people, and I feel happy for saving lives. But later I found that what really made me devote all my passion was destroying the world."
"I want to see the magnificence of the world's destruction, see the wreckage after the destruction, want to listen to the earth's wailing, and then look at the scars of the sky, want to feel the wind's flight, want to see the sea parting." Weisser looked at Ash sideways: "Just like some magicians will fly towards the sun until they burn out, some magicians will want to kill the white bull to shake the virtual world, and some magicians will use themselves as experimental subjects to randomly transform themselves..."
“So there are lives that are born to destroy.”
Ash asked, "Even if I die?"
"I'm not a mercury horse, I'm a normal Senluo person." Weisser said: "Senluo people are not afraid of death. What's more..."
"Reality is only a momentary illusion, and the virtual world is the eternal future." She said: "I have proved the first half of the sentence, and it is time to verify the second half."
Reality is just a momentary illusion, and virtuality is the eternal future.
Ash was silent for a moment, then said, "I thought you wanted to atone for your past actions by dying."
"If thinking this way can make me leave a good impression on you, then think this way." Weisser said, "But is there a possibility that as the dream master, I can't leave this level at all?"
"This is the starting point of the dream, and also my cage." Weisser raised her hands and made a lifting gesture: "When I completely take over the Senluo Dream, I will be here to support the entire Senluo Dream until it completely collapses and turns into ruins."
"Whether the Senluo people can be saved or not, my fate has already been determined." Weisser put down her hand and said, "But thank you. Your words mean a lot to me."
Ash sighed, "Is there no other way?"
"It's amazing for a mortal to be able to untie one knot, don't even think about challenging a second one." Weisser said, "By the way, if you want to save people, don't talk nonsense about me. Keep promoting me in the same old way."
"What's the meaning?"
"The world is going to be destroyed. It was Silver Lantern who did it." Weisser's lips curled up: "I guarantee that this sentence can make them believe that the end of the world is coming 50% faster, and their travel speed will also be 20% faster."
"Indeed." Ash raised his head and said, "Your notoriety is well known to everyone from the Four Pillars to the Transcendental Sect."
"Isn't there always a demon king who wants to destroy the world for some unknown reason? Although it is a cliché, it is the most convincing story." Weisser said: "Since someone is the savior, someone has to be the demon king, and I am the demon king."
She pointed behind Ash, and a foggy door quietly appeared.
"Let's go." Weisser said, "See you next time, in the eternal void."
Ash said, "Generally speaking, this is called a farewell."
"But I think it's goodbye." Weisser said, "When the time comes, there will be no more illusions."
After saying that, Weisser turned around and looked at her reflection in the sea. She suddenly thought of something: should she tell him that Yindeng was Weisser? After all, there was no point in taking such a secret to the grave, and it wouldn't even count as a burial object.
Ash would definitely realize that Weisser was the traitor from the beginning, and used words in the virtual world to induce his real actions. But at this point, Weisser didn't care whether Ash would hate her more.
But even if I don't tell him, he will find out sooner or later. Thinking of this, I decided not to tell him - Weisser had already ruined his chance to decipher the secret once in the Dead City, so this time, let him enjoy the joy of discovering the truth.
Thinking of this, Weisser suddenly felt something strange, and turned around to find that Ash had not left yet.
However, Ash didn't look at her, but stared at the sea behind her.
Weisser turned around and was also stunned.
On the vast blue sea, a tattered ship was sailing towards them in the wind and waves. On the highest mast, there were three figures standing.
The closer they got to the beach, the more the boat started to break apart. The three people on the mast didn't move. When the boat broke to the end, it just sent them to the beach. They took a step forward and stepped onto the soft sand.
During this process, Ash and Weisser had unknowingly stood together, looking at the three uninvited guests warily.
"Hello, heir."
The first person to speak was a handsome man with glasses wearing a white feather-shaped windbreaker and a white hat: "Nice to meet you, I'm White Dove."
Another red-haired cat-eared girl wearing a white shirt and a black suspender skirt waved and greeted enthusiastically, giggling, "Hello, I'm Fire Cat!"
The long-legged lady with green hair and white feathers said coldly, "Bluebird."
