Chapter 259: Wedding Day (15,000)
The branches of the ancient trees swayed gently, emitting a gentle soft light.
She had been protecting Rita and her people for a long time, so she was quite friendly to Lynn and Hilina at this time.
"I promise you the sap you need. I'll give it to you once this is over." The ancient tree's branches trembled slightly. "Now, will you let us witness your power?"
Faced with this ancient aura as vast as the sea of stars, Lin En also restrained himself a little and nodded seriously.
Then he turned to look at Hillina, only to find that this girl had lowered her head, which was extremely rare, and was obviously trying to avoid his gaze.
"This time." After a moment, Silina's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, so soft that only Lin En could hear it. "Where do you want to touch?"
Hearing this, Lin En twitched the corner of his mouth.
He didn't answer, but just held out his hand.
This familiar action made Hillina's body tremble, and her mind flashed with all the things that Lin En had done to her over the past month.
She was deeply affected by the strange power of this world, which caused Lin En to do those things continuously every day.
So Hillina stretched out her hand almost as a conditioned reflex. Over the past month, this gesture had become a kind of tacit understanding between them.
But Hillina was a little surprised by this.
If it's just holding hands, maybe it's not enough.
However, the next moment, Lin En used his actions to tell her that he was more than that.
Lin En skillfully led Hillina out of the house, and Rita and the spirit of the World Tree followed.
When Hillina was confused by Lynn's sudden action, she suddenly noticed a subtle change in the strength with which he was holding her hand.
Not only that, Lynn's slender fingers gently adjusted their position to completely wrap her palm in a more intimate way.
Under the silver-white light of the sacred tree, the knuckles of the two men overlapped perfectly.
Fingers interlocked!
This subtle change disrupted Hillina's breathing rhythm in an instant.
It is just the most ordinary physical contact, but the feeling it gives people is completely different.
Before coming to the Tomb of Helmius, Hillina had dated Xia many times, and the thing they did most was holding hands.
Although Hillina is in a state of amnesia now, she vaguely remembers that she held hands with someone else.
Only this time, the feeling she had was different.
Just like a couple in love.
Hilina felt as if a wild deer was running wildly in her heart.
Her pale golden eyes lowered slightly as she stared at the two people's folded hands.
This feeling of being cherished made Hildena feel a strange sweetness, yet inexplicably at ease.
It's just a simple hand holding
Hillina sighed softly in her heart, the warmth spreading along the touching skin to the softest corner of her heart.
It was not known whether the will of the world sensed her inner thoughts at the moment, but the gray clouds in the sky suddenly churned violently.
Immediately afterwards, a blinding flash of lightning suddenly struck down - the light was so intense that it seemed to tear the sky apart, instantly illuminating the stone brick streets of Moro City as bright as day.
At this moment, the entire alien world trembled.
A high-level demon holding two axes more than ten miles outside Moro City, his originally ferocious eyes were full of fear, but at this moment he subconsciously blocked the giant axes in front of him, and a low whimper came from his throat.
The sacred aura contained in this lightning is the natural nemesis of creatures like them.
Even just the aftermath made their skin feel as if it was burned by flames, and their souls trembled uncontrollably.
"boom!"
Thunder roared loudly, shaking the sky. Everyone in Moro City froze in place. The spears in the hands of the warriors fell to the ground. Everyone felt a shudder from the depths of their souls, and they all looked up at the sky at the same time.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning as thick as the trunk of an ancient tree struck the clouds. Countless flashing ancient runes surged in the lightning, as if it was a punishment sent down by the gods themselves, vowing to completely blast this blasphemer who violated the rules set by them into pieces!
Lin En, the instigator, narrowed his blue eyes and stood still, allowing the lightning to cast shadows of varying depths on his face.
Over the past month, he has triggered the wrath of the world's will many times.
But this time, just holding hands made him see something different.
Not only is thunder raging above the sky, but countless burning meteorites are bombarding the world barrier.
Lin En pondered secretly, guessing that it must be the intimate action of holding hands that touched Hillina's heart, which made the world will so angry.
Otherwise, simply holding hands would never have caused such a horrific punishment.
If you do something completely out of line, you can't imagine what kind of punishment the world will bring down.
Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he saw some hope of leaving this world.
The punishment of the world's will came swiftly, but dissipated very quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the dark clouds dispersed and the sky returned to its depressing lead gray color, so dull that it made people feel breathless.
Lin En slowly released Sillina's hand and turned to Guda and the spirit of the sacred tree. "Seeing is believing. Do you believe it now?"
"It's probably been thousands of years since we've seen a phenomena of this magnitude. It's a shame it's still not enough to penetrate the dimensional barrier." The aged voice of the divine tree spirit was filled with surprise and a hint of regret. "But I'm still very curious. You didn't do anything, just a handshake. Why did it trigger such a violent reaction from the world will?"
Lin En smiled. "As you just said, I sensed an immense amount of malice and evil from the world's will. Normally, I should have died in some conspiracy, just as it wished. But in the end, I survived, and lived quite well."
"And this young lady," Lin En's gaze fell on Sillina, "is the complete opposite of me."
"If I am the cursed one spurned by the world's will, then she is the chosen one favored by the world's will. Logically, she should have been accompanying another chosen one, but instead, a despicable person like me tainted her purity."
"This is why the world's will is enraged."
When they said this, Lin En and Sillina looked at each other, and a hint of bitterness flashed in their eyes.
But Hillina was stunned.
During this period of time, although she acquiesced to Lin En's many inappropriate actions, she was actually still confused in her heart and didn't understand why Lin En did those things to her.
Now that the truth is out and she knows the answer, she feels it is extremely absurd.
What are the cursed ones spurned by the world's will, and what are the chosen ones by God? Who imposed these inexplicable labels?
On what basis can the will of the world determine who she must belong to? On what basis can divine punishment be brought down upon those who disobey His will?
When she thought of this, Hillina's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and an indescribable pain came over her, as if it was going to tear her brain apart.
She covered her temples and staggered backward until her back hit the cold stone wall hard. Then she was seen curled up in the corner, with a look of pain and anger in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lin En quickly stepped forward and held her shoulders.
"I'm fine." Hillina gently broke free from his hand, seeming to be somewhat resistant to Lin En.
Because her hair was messy at the moment, Lin En couldn't see her expression, but he could feel that the atmosphere had changed.
At least judging from Hillina's attitude towards him, it seemed a bit cold.
After a moment's silence, Hilina whispered, "So what you said that day was true. All you did was to use me to disgust my fiancé, that guy named Xia."
Hillina lost her memory, but she did not lose her mind. With her intelligence, she figured out Lin En's intention in almost an instant.
Since simple intimate contact can trigger the punishment of the world's will and bring down thunder, what if he completely possesses her?
If such behavior truly offends the will of the world, it would be tantamount to blasphemy.
At that time, the world-destroying thunder and punishment that descends from the sky will surely carry the power to tear the void apart, and will completely blast the dimensional barrier covering this world into pieces.
In fact, Hillina's guess was absolutely correct. This was exactly what Lin En thought at the beginning.
He once planned to seize Hillina's virginity to induce the world's will to bring down divine punishment, thereby breaking the barrier.
Unfortunately, it was not until this moment that Hillelina suddenly realized his true intention.
Facing her question, Lin En was silent for a long time, and finally said calmly: "Yes, from the second day I came into this world, I foresaw that this day would come in the future."
“.”
After getting Lynn's answer, Hillelina finally said nothing, but just lowered her head and left in a daze.
Looking at her departing figure, Rita, who had no idea what had happened between Lin En and Silina, patted Lin En on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too depressed. There will be a grand bonfire celebration in Moro City tonight. Be sure to come."
"As for the two options I mentioned earlier, there's no rush. You can take your time to consider them. No matter what the final result is, we will respect your choice."
As night fell, a huge bonfire was lit in the central square of Moro City.
The city is full of demon women with outstanding looks and stunning beauty. They wear exotic dance skirts and sandals made of purple crystals, dancing gracefully to the rhythm of ancient war drums.
Every household brought out their treasured delicacies to entertain the two distinguished guests, Lin En and Hillina, even though in Lin En's eyes these foods were not worthy of being served, and even a little difficult to swallow.
So he took out some food he had prepared earlier from his space ring, including some pork and beef that still looked fresh, and he even brought some seasonings.
So, Lin En prepared a sumptuous barbecue feast for the demon women who were imprisoned in this alien world. At first, the demon women were still frightened by the show of power that Lin En had given them during the day, but they soon fell under the temptation of the food. It was the first time in their lives that they tasted such delicious food, and they were so excited that they cried while eating.
Looking at them feasting on the food, Lin En chuckled and picked up the wine brewed from the sap of the sacred tree. He sat alone on the stone pier and drank it by himself.
Although the scene was extremely lively, due to the language barrier and some unpleasant things that happened between him and Hillina during the day, he had no interest in enjoying the event at the moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin En was a little tipsy from drinking alone. Suddenly, a familiar fragrance wafted over, and Hillina, dressed in a golden robe, quietly appeared beside him.
To Lin En's surprise, she seemed to have regained her former calmness and the distracted look she had during the day was gone.
"Just let me stand like this?"
Seeing Lin En's eyes on her, a smile appeared on her face.
Although Lin En was a little surprised, he still moved his butt to the side. Hillina then sat down next to him on the stone block, gazing at the campfire in a daze with her chin in her hand.
Hilina didn't say anything, and Lin En didn't take the initiative to join in the conversation. The two of them maintained an almost eerie silence until Hilina's cold voice sounded:
"I remember when you were injured and unconscious, you called out a name several times."
"Huh?" A look of surprise appeared on Lin En's face. He was in a coma at the time and really didn't remember what he said.
"That girl named Yvesette must be a very perfect woman."
Hielina looked at her and said.
"Quite the opposite." Lin En waved his hand. "She has a bad temper, is ruthless, and has had her face disfigured before, so she usually wears a mask. In short, her flaws are countless."
When she heard this, a look of surprise flashed in Xilina's eyes: "Then why?"
"Do you believe that if there comes a day like that, she would even dare to kill a god just to keep me alive?"
Sillina was stunned for a moment, then stared at him. "I believe it, because if it were me, I would be willing to give everything for the one I love, even if it meant killing a god."
"So it sounds like you just happened to meet first. If another woman treated you like this..."
"I don't want to make that assumption. It's disrespectful to her." Lin En shook her head. "Love isn't something that comes first or later. The moment I met her, I knew she was the one for me."
“Other than that, it’s just makeshift.”
There was clearly something else in his words. Silina wasn't stupid either. She just suppressed the pain in her heart and covered up the awkwardness on her face with a smile: "I have a question for you."
"What's the problem?"
Lynn looked at her warily.
Hielina took a deep breath and said, "If you really had to choose, would you rather stay here forever or return to your original world?"
"Of course I'm going back. There's nothing worth staying here for."
Lin En answered almost without thinking. Not to mention the people and things he cared about in his original world, the terrible living environment in this world also made him have no desire to stay.
After receiving Lin En's affirmative answer, a hint of nervousness flashed in Hilina's eyes. "What if, I mean if, I choose to forget the past and stay here forever, are you willing to stay with me?"
There is no doubt that Hillina's question exceeded Lin En's expectations, causing his expression to freeze for a moment.
Lin En was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a bitter arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He remained silent, but the answer was already written on his face.
The clever Hilina understood this silence.
After a moment, the cheerful drumbeats of the demon dance in the distance seemed to infect Lin En. He stood up and walked towards the campfire, his light black robe fluttering in the night breeze.
"you"
Looking at his back, Hilina's voice trembled slightly.
"Any questions?"
Lynn didn't look back, but just tilted his head slightly.
Against the backdrop of the firelight, the boy's angular profile appeared particularly profound in the night, and it also made people feel inexplicably at ease.
The turmoil in Hillina's heart suddenly subsided.
There are so many women in this world, is she really the only one?
This was originally the last question that Hilina wanted to ask.
But now, there seems to be no need to ask this question anymore, because Lynn's answer is obvious.
A beautiful smile appeared on Sillina's beautiful face. She waved gently at Lin En: "It's okay, go ahead."
"Oh right." Lin En seemed to suddenly remember something. "Forget what happened during the day. Perhaps there are other ways to break the barrier that shrouds this world."
"I think by then you will be able to return to your original world and become Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Saint Laurent Empire again."
Lynn said with a smile.
In fact, since coming to Moro City, he has heard the mumbling of the Prisoner of Fate again, but he could not hear it clearly, and could only hear some vague sounds.
This also gave Lin En some hope.
And just now, when he drank cup after cup of fine wine brewed from the juice of the sacred tree and fell into a state of tipsiness, some sounds rang in his ears again, and they sounded more real than before.
Of course, he would not tell Hillina about this.
Hillina, who was unaware of the situation, felt a sudden pain in her heart.
She just felt that it was Lynn who was personally severing the bond between them.
What a gentle bastard.
Looking at Lin En's cheerful back as he joined the dance, Hilina bit her lower lip lightly, a look of determination flashing in her eyes.
If reuniting with your beloved is your wish—
Then, I would like to fulfill your wish.
Even if the price is.
It was early morning.
Lin En was awakened by a dull pain. After opening his eyes, he pressed his temples and sat up with difficulty.
Last night at the bonfire party, he deliberately indulged himself in drinking fine wine, allowing himself to relax after being on the run in the other world for more than a month and having been in a tense state for a long time.
But he still underestimated the wine brewed from the sap of this sacred tree. It was really delicious, but the aftertaste was also really terrifying.
After he was exiled to the border town of Orne, he spent almost every day in the tavern, getting drunk every day. Over time, he developed a good alcohol tolerance.
However, the reason why he was so drunk this time was not only because he was really drunk, but also because Lin En himself did not want to sober up too quickly.
Watching the silver light of the sacred tree penetrate the stone window, Lin En knew that reality had to be faced eventually and that escaping would not solve any problems.
At this critical moment of returning to the original world, he was faced with a dilemma: should he take advantage of Hillina's purity before her memory was restored to attract the divine punishment from the world's will, or should he follow the clues given to him by the prisoner of fate's whispers?
If the latter is chosen, it is unknown how long it will take to break the world barrier. Lin En is not sure how long Ivester can last. After all, more than a month has passed since he was exiled to another world.
If you choose the former.
The image of Hilina hesitating to speak by the campfire last night flashed back to him. Her last smile seemed calm, but deep in her eyes was a heartbreaking sadness, as if he had done something unforgivable.
This was completely inconsistent with his impression of the eldest princess, Hillina, and Lin En could only attribute it to memory disorder.
“How should I choose?”
Lin En rubbed his temples, took the clothes from the stone table next to him and was about to put them on, when he was suddenly stopped by a pair of cold little hands. He turned around and found that there was a purple-skinned demon girl standing in the corner. Her horns were as small as a newborn crescent moon, and she looked quite cute.
Noticing Lin En's gaze, Nora's legs couldn't help but tremble. You know, yesterday at the city gate, the pressure exuded by this human was comparable to that of the Lord of the Abyss, but at this moment she still mustered up the courage to shake her head and signaled him to put down his clothes.
As she clapped her hands, several older but equally pretty witches walked in with their heads lowered. Like Nora, they did not dare to meet Lin En's eyes.
"What's this for?"
Lynn looked at them in confusion.
"serve."
Nora stammered, speaking in very broken Terran language.
Lin En suddenly realized that when he was the young master of the Bart Leon family, he was treated the same way every day when he got up and went to bed, so he spread his arms very skillfully and cooperatively.
The witches changed his clothes tremblingly, and provided services such as massaging his shoulders and legs. While serving him, their smooth and delicate skin was faintly visible under the thin clothes.
Lin En was sure that she could tear the fabrics apart and do whatever she wanted, and they would even cooperate with her.
But Lin En is not that kind of person. He still disdains to do such shameless things.
After finishing the tidying up, Lynn used his extraordinary power to dispel the last trace of drunkenness in his body, but even such a small action frightened the witches and made them flee in all directions, leaving only Nora huddled in the corner.
"What's your name?" Lin En squatted down and asked, "Also, do you think I'm scary?"
"My name is Nora." The little girl still spoke in broken human language, "Your eyes."
"Eye?"
Lin En looked at the obsidian mirror in the room with some surprise, but he didn't find anything special about his eyes.
But he didn't worry too much.
I think the mumbling of the prisoner of fate prompted me to come to the tomb of Hermes, and I inexplicably became the savior predicted by the stone tablet. There must be some secret in this.
"Go play." Lin En said as he took out a toy from the human world and placed it in Nora's palm, then spoke softly.
Nora stared at the affable Lin En, finding it hard to believe that this distinguished guest, who had commanded the tribe's most powerful leaders, could be so gentle. In the demon world of the jungle, such thoughtfulness was a miracle.
"Priest Granny, looking for you"
She looked up at Lin En, stammered, and ran away like a frightened deer. Lin En smiled indifferently.
After leaving the stone chamber, the morning mist had not yet dissipated. Lin En walked on the streets of Moro City. The female demon warriors who had drunk with him last night had already started their morning exercises.
They had a strong posture, and the lines of their abdominal muscles rose and fell with their breathing. Even though they were wearing light leather armor that Lin En felt was a bit astringent, they still gave people a heroic feeling.
After noticing Lynn's gaze, these guys all had a strange smile on their faces.
"What's going on?"
Lin En muttered to himself that the language barrier prevented him from asking, but his intuition told him that this was probably related to what Rita was looking for him for.
The next moment, he quickened his pace and walked towards the stone palace in the center of Moro City, which could be considered magnificent.
Lin En was in a hurry yesterday and did not have time to take a good look at this ancient city. Now Lin En realized that this stone palace was actually built against a sacred tree. The twisted branches blocked the sunlight, making the palace look dark.
Pushing open the stone door engraved with ancient runes, Lin En saw Rita standing in front of the altar, her amethyst-like eyes glowing in the dimness, obviously waiting for him.
"Dear traveler," Lida bowed slightly. "Did you have a good rest last night?"
"Um."
Lynn nodded.
Although the stone bed was indeed hard, he had drunk too much yesterday and could be described as unconscious.
However, the service provided when getting up in the morning is still very considerate and up to date.
Lynn felt that a favorable review was necessary.
The massage is just right, heavy where it should be heavy and light where it should be light.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Lin En said straight to the point. "Ahem, but if you're asking about that choice, I'm sorry. We haven't reached an agreement yet, so it may take a few days for me to reply to you."
Hearing Lin En's answer, Lida tilted her head in confusion: "But Miss Sillina came here last night and said that you had already discussed and made a decision."
These words exploded like thunder.
Lin En suddenly remembered Silina's question about staying by the campfire last night. Could this girl be serious?
She asked herself whether she was willing to spend the rest of her life with her in this world, which was the second option proposed by Rita. Lin En would stay in Moro City forever, continue to mate with their people, and continue her bloodline until the day Lin En's life ended.
In other words, the entire Moro City will become Lin En's harem by then.
In addition, with the cool temperament and beautiful appearance of Hillina, any man might not be able to withstand such temptation and would choose to stay in this world.
But Lin En is not that kind of person. He wants to leave this world very urgently.
"What choice did she make?"
After hesitating for a moment, Lynn looked at Rita and asked.
Lida's fingertips gently stroked the astrological chart on the altar. "According to Master Divine Tree's calculations, at midnight seven days from now, when darkness obscures the silver light, the barrier enveloping this world will become weaker than ever due to the tides of the abyss."
Hearing this, Lin En shook his head: "You know, I'm not going to ask you about this."
Rita was not surprised by Lin En's attitude, but nodded: "Well, Miss Sillina came here yesterday, and I mentioned this to her."
"I have to admit that as a woman, I am far inferior to her in terms of action and courage. She is a well-deserved warrior."
"stop."
Lin En interrupted her irritably, his eyes meeting Rita's: "I just want to know what she said to you last."
Rita took a deep breath and said, "Miss Hilina said she would hold the wedding in seven days, and then wait until midnight, when the barrier is at its weakest, to marry you..."
When Rita said this, she couldn't help but pause, because she really found it difficult to say the last few words.
When Lin En heard the answer, he was struck by lightning. He subconsciously took a step back and even wanted to escape from this place.
Although Rita did not say who the wedding partner was, the result was self-evident. Is there another male creature in this city besides Lin En?
"What do you want to do?"
In the stone chamber, Lin En paced back and forth. Sillina, who was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, formed a sharp contrast with him. At this moment, there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and her whole body had an indescribable beauty.
She even stood up and poured Lin En a glass of water in a clay cup after she saw that Lin En was finally tired and sat down on the bed.
Seeing that Lin En was reluctant to take the glass of water from her, Sillina didn't get angry. Instead, a meaningful smile appeared on her face. "The word 'marriage' should be a very distant thing for someone like me."
Lin En frowned. In the original book, Hillina finally married Xia. As for the wedding, it was indeed never held.
"Lin En." She suddenly looked up, her blue eyes as captivating and deep as the ocean. "During this month of exile in another world, haven't you figured out some things? Life is so short, and no one knows what will happen next. So, wouldn't it be a pity to realize at the end of your life that you've missed out on some of the beautiful things in life?"
At this point, Hilina suddenly put down the clay cup and met Lin's gaze with burning eyes: "So, why not join me in this joyful experience?"
After a long silence, Hilina put away the smile on her face and said, "Just consider it as fulfilling my willful wish."
"I think, before I lost my memory, I was rarely willful."
"Do you really know what this means?" Lin En slapped the stone table and sneered, "You know, I'm not talking about getting married, but..."
"Of course." Silina nodded, picked up the glass of water that Lin En hadn't drunk, and took a sip: "But so what?"
Lin En hadn't expected Silena to say this so casually, and was speechless. "Aren't you afraid that after you do that, you'll regain your memory and return to your original world, only to discover that we're mortal enemies?"
"Let's leave this world first. Why make assumptions about something that hasn't happened?"
"At least at this moment, I can be absolutely sure of one thing, that is, I have never regretted making this decision."
After saying that, Hilina looked at Lin En with a teasing look. "Even if we are truly sworn enemies, can't you just fight for it and let me have your child just this once?"
"If we had a child together, I would definitely not kill you for the sake of the child."
Hearing this, Lin En was both angry and amused. Hillina had left him speechless.
"Are you even a man?" Seeing that Lin En hadn't expressed his opinion yet, Silena raised her delicate eyebrows, a hint of sneer flashing in her golden eyes. "I, a woman, have already made up my mind, but why are you, a man, so timid? What are you afraid of?"
She approached slowly, looking somewhat aggressive. "Besides, don't you have a reason to go back?"
These words were like a sharp sword, piercing the deepest part of Lynn's heart.
The next moment, Sillina suddenly dropped her usual aloof demeanor, raised her foot, and gently kicked Lin En's calf with the tip of her boot, like a flirtation between lovers. "Anyway, I told the priest about this decision yesterday. Now the whole of Moro City is looking forward to this wedding. I don't think you have the chance to refuse."
There was a subtle hint of nervousness in her eyes, fearing that Lynn would refuse because of that guy named Yvesette.
The descendants of demons throughout the city are eagerly waiting, hoping that this wedding will break the barriers that shroud this world and free them from the shackles of their prison.
Could Lin En really bear to disappoint everyone?
Hillina was betting that Lin En was actually a soft-hearted man, even though his words were sharper than a knife.
After a long silence, Lin En finally sighed, "It's up to you."
After receiving this answer, Hillina's heart finally settled down. In fact, if Lin En insisted on rejecting her decision, it would probably end up in a very embarrassing situation.
Of course, there is a way. That is, with the efforts of himself and the descendants of the demon clan, he can use force to complete the union with Lin En.
After all, Lin En only has the strength of a second-level transcendent, and is not even his opponent.
However, using force is never a good idea, and it is the best outcome that Lin En agrees.
At this moment, from an angle that Lin En couldn't see, a hint of relief flashed across Hillina's eyes, as well as a fleeting sadness deeper inside.
After getting Lin's consent, preparations for this absurd wedding began in full swing. As the bride, Hilina received support from the entire city, and almost every household was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, hoping to provide some help for the wedding.
But this world is short of supplies, all items are simple and crude, and there are language barriers, so there are no substitutes for many necessities.
Being in a state of amnesia, Hillina had no idea what to prepare for the wedding or what to do, so she had to imagine many things on her own.
The wedding banquet was held in the stone palace in the center of Moro City, which was already the most luxurious place in the city. Rita even lent her own bedroom as the wedding room for Lin En and Sillina.
The groom Lin En, who should have been busy, always ran to the top of the sacred tree these days. No one knew what he was talking about with the spirit of the sacred tree.
The completely different performances of Lin En and Hilina surprised everyone, and they also speculated about the relationship between Lin En and Hilina behind their backs.
But no matter how they guessed, they could never guess that the relationship between Lynn and Hillina was actually extremely complicated and twisted.
However, one thing was beyond Lin En's expectations. He had always thought that the true form of the sacred tree would be a mature and beautiful queen, but when he accidentally saw its incarnation, he found that it was a petite figure emitting a faint green glow. It was just that due to the light around her, he could not see her specific appearance.
Of course, the tone of her voice was very old, which formed a very strong contrast.
Time flies, and it is the sixth day in a blink of an eye.
As night fell, the stone halls of Moro City were decorated with lights and colors. Although it was incomparable to the luxury of the human world, it was the most grand scene they could present.
Rita presided over the wedding and acted as an interpreter. The witches who watched the ceremony stared at the long table of delicious food with shining eyes.
For this wedding, Hillina took out almost all the stock in her storage space. After all, this was her first wedding in her life, and maybe even the only wedding in her life. She felt that it couldn't be too shabby, and at least the necessary sense of ceremony should be there.
For these witches who had never left this world, this wedding was so novel and exciting.
Even in Lin En's eyes, this wedding banquet was pitifully simple - the red robe he was wearing was dyed with pigment made from a kind of red stone in this world, and the effect was naturally terrible.
The entire wedding process was streamlined to just two parts: the oath and drinking together. After three rounds of wine, several bold witches were already drunk enough to tear off the coarse cloth that covered their chests. Their violet skin swayed in the firelight, making people dare not look directly at them.
Not only that, they were still mumbling something in their mouths, and their eyes kept glancing at Lin En while they spoke.
"They said," Lida smiled softly, covering her lips with her hands, acting as a translator, "that they want to marry you after the ceremony so that we can enjoy delicious food forever."
“.”
In the past, Lin En might have found this kind of joke quite funny, but now he just drank silently, one glass after another, as if to give himself courage for something.
As for the bride, Hillina, she had already been waiting in the decorated bridal chamber.
Lin En drank almost a whole barrel of wine made from the sap of the sacred tree. His whole body was full of alcohol, but there was no sign of drunkenness on his face. In particular, there was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if he had made some kind of decision.
When the last round of toasts ended, this absurd wedding finally ushered in the final ceremony. Under the burning gazes of everyone, Lin En was led to the deepest part of the palace by Rita and others.
In the dim room, a few rays of fire flickered.
After everyone left, Lin En slowly walked in. He saw Sillina sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, with a white veil above her head, embroidered with crooked star and moon patterns - obviously the bride's own handiwork.
Even though the conditions were simple, she insisted on preserving this sense of ritual.
She cut and sewed the veil from a white gauze skirt, and embroidered the star and moon patterns with a bone needle with the help of Rita and others.
After entering the room, Lin En, who was drunk, sat down next to her.
"Dear, have you drunk a lot of wine?"
Feeling the fragrance of orchids coming from his side and the tenderness hidden in the word "dear", Lin En's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He took a deep breath and, under the influence of alcohol, lifted the white veil.
In an instant, a beautiful face came into view, with golden hair like a waterfall, skin whiter than snow, eyes sparkling with light, and hair that was usually tied up now hanging down on shoulders. Even the sharpness that was common on Hillina was transformed into the gentleness of a bride tonight.
Lynn was speechless for a moment.
On the contrary, Hilina regained some of her coolness and snorted softly: "Hmph."
But the fleeting curve of her lips betrayed her mood. As the saying goes, women dress up to please themselves. Seeing his reaction, she suddenly felt that all her efforts of these days were worth it. This bridal makeup took her half a day.
Lin En didn't dare to meet Hilina's gaze, so he looked away: "Have you really thought it through?"
"At this point, is there anything left to regret?" Silina fetched two glasses, filled them with wine, and drank it all in one gulp. Her cheeks quickly flushed a rosy red.
But Lynn held the wine glass and fell into deep thought.
Silence stretched in the candlelight, and neither of them spoke.
Feeling the somewhat angry look in Sillina's eyes, Lin En suddenly chuckled: "Why, has no one taught you what to do on your wedding night?"
Hillina's body stiffened slightly, and she slowly turned her face away. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she slowly unbuttoned the buttons on her back, revealing half of her jade-white shoulder.
In the candlelight, pieces of clothing and linings slipped off silently, leaving only plain white underwear, barely covering the most attractive curves.
During this process, Lin En was not polite at all. He was appreciative and didn't even want to blink.
I can only say that those who understand will understand. This process is more addictive than the main plot of the film.
She had clearly taken the initiative, but Lin En still did nothing. A rare flash of shame and anger flashed across Hillina's golden eyes.
"What are you waiting for?"
There was an imperceptible tremor in her voice.
The next moment, Lin En drank the wine in the glass and said, "Wait for the medicine to take effect."
"What medicine?"
Before she finished speaking, Hilina's pupils suddenly constricted, and then her body swayed, and she fell powerlessly onto the bed covered with white sheets.
Lin En came to the bed and gently laid down this delicate body that was enough to drive countless men crazy. There was no desire in his eyes, only bottomless determination.
"What a shame." Lin En tucked the quilt in for her and laughed at herself. "In the face of such beauty, I always choose to be a prude. Honestly, I almost want to slap myself."
Lin En's fingertips gently stroked her golden hair. His voice was gentle but firm. "When you wake up, you will return to your original world and continue to be the respected imperial princess. This journey is ultimately just a dream for you."
"Now, it's time to wake up from this dream."
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come to this world. After all, you and your team of gravediggers definitely can't reach the deepest part of the Hermuse Mausoleum."
"In that case, based on the principle of seeing things through to the end, I should also take responsibility. At the very least, I must bring you back to your original world safely."
Lin En slowly stood up and spoke to Sillina who was lying on the bed unable to move.
Xilina was extremely anxious and almost used up her last bit of strength to grab his sleeve: "What are you going to do? I won't let you go."
Hearing this, Lin En simply smiled. He extended a finger and gently stroked it across Sillina's face, a hint of arrogance curving up at the corner of his mouth. "As for me, I plan to go find the World Will and have a good talk with him."
After saying that, Lynn took off the rather strange-looking red robe, folded it gently and placed it on the bedside, then strode away without looking back.
Only Hilina was left lying on the bed, staring blankly at the stone-carved roof, which was covered with marks of knife and axe cuts.
I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and a hint of determination flashed in the depths of her eyes.
Finally, we have come to this point.
The top of Moro City is the branch of the sacred tree.
At this moment, Lin En stood on a gnarled tree trunk, a spear in his hand shining coldly. He looked up at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky, his face as calm as water.
"Have you decided?" The voice of the tree spirit sounded beside him, and an emerald-colored shadow appeared and disappeared.
Lin En nodded. "By midnight, the barrier enveloping this world will become weaker than ever due to the tides of the abyss. By then, the punishment bestowed by the world's will will most likely break the barrier. However, even a trace of the residual power of divine punishment is beyond my ability to withstand. Even the slightest touch would probably be enough to reduce me to ashes."
"It's not a big deal." The tree spirit's voice was calm. "Anyway, according to our previous agreement, I will resist most of the divine punishment for you."
"But if it's beyond my ability." The emerald shadow flickered, "I'm afraid I can't do anything about it."
"clear."
Faced with this mysterious ancient being, Lin En chose to cooperate cautiously. This was exactly what he and the tree spirit had been planning for the past few days—they had been secretly planning this for a long time when Sillina was preparing for her wedding.
He firmly believed that even though she was in a state of amnesia, Silina was truly in love with him.
This is absolutely intolerable for the world will, but Lin En guessed that the reason why the world will did not bring down divine punishment was because Hillina was in a state of amnesia at the moment. Otherwise, this kind of mental infidelity, to some extent, is no less serious than physical infidelity.
What Lin En has to do is to restore Hillina's memory with the cooperation of the sacred tree.
These days, Lin En has been discussing with Shenshu the reason why Hillina lost her memory.
Finally, a conclusion was reached: Hillina's amnesia was not caused by external impact, but her body and the original power of this world were mutually repelled. The strange black air wanted to invade her body and completely pollute her. In order to resist the erosion of this force, Hillina's soul finally chose to close itself, which led to her memory loss.
Based on this situation, it is not difficult to restore Hillina's memory. As long as the sacred tree opens up a pure land area and completely isolates Hillina from the original power of this world, Hillina can at least restore her memory temporarily.
In fact, Lin En was also making a bet. He bet that even if Hillina recovered her memory, her feelings for him would never disappear!
"When you're ready, I'll start."
Said the sacred tree.
"Um."
Lynn nodded heavily.
The next moment, the branches of the sacred tree suddenly glowed with an emerald glow. Countless runes peeled from the bark, interweaving into a barrier in the air. The space was instantly purified, and the black mist retreated like a tide, as if forcibly isolated by some supreme law.
Especially in the stone chamber where Hillina was, ancient life patterns appeared on the ground, and golden light particles floated like fireflies, enveloping Hillina.
Although Lin En has been helping Hillina absorb the black mist in her body these days, the black mist has actually corroded her body a long time ago, especially her soul, which has actually been wrapped in layers of black mist.
But now the golden light particles rushed into the depths of Sillina's soul, completely annihilating the black mist that contained her soul. At the same time, Sillina's body trembled violently. Her golden pupils contracted violently, as if countless images flashed back in her eyes.
Almost simultaneously, leaden-gray thunderclouds surged above the heavens like raging waves, blending seamlessly with the already eerie and terrifying world, as if returning to the chaotic abyss of creation. Only the purple lightning streaking through the clouds, like a raging ancient dragon, became the sole source of light illuminating Moro City.
This light is by no means the warm morning light, but rather the wrath of judgment that carries the power to destroy the world.
When the giant thunder dragon, which was half as thick as the World Tree, poked its head out from the clouds, the whole world trembled. The dragon seemed to lock onto Lin En, vowing to blast this guy who blasphemed the will of the world to death!
Deafening thunder echoed through the sky, and the demon women of Moruo City trembled in fear. Even the bravest warriors fled back to their stone houses, huddled on the ground, and prayed to their ancestors.
But the judgment of the world's will never distinguish between good and evil - this world-destroying thunder tribulation that is enough to annihilate the entire city does not care about the life and death of these demon creatures at all.
Lin En looked up at this terrible divine punishment, his pale face flickering in the lightning.
"Do you regret it?" The voice of the sacred tree floated in the wind.
"I regret it so much that my intestines are turning green." Lin En pulled the corner of his mouth, "But what's the use of regretting it?"
He took a deep breath, and a fire of determination ignited in his gray-blue eyes: "I will definitely return alive—to Yvesette."
Lin En has already seen the hope of victory. He sees clearly that in addition to thunder and lightning, there are also countless burning meteorites bombarding the world barrier.
He even saw the shadow of a Titan giant, holding a huge axe and slashing fiercely at the world barrier.
This means two things.
First, he made the right bet. After regaining her memory, Hillelina still fell in love with him.
Second, the punishment of the world's will brought about this time is far greater than before, and there is a high probability that it can successfully break the shackles that imprison this world.
The next moment, accompanied by a terrifying roar as if the gods created the world, at this moment, countless demons in the vast territory of the abyss world, whether they were low-level monsters or high-level abyss lords, all felt the most terrifying breath as dark creatures.
Even though they were thousands of miles apart, these bloodthirsty guys dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground as if they were meeting a god, not daring to show any disrespect.
Countless dazzling lightning flashes streaked across the sky, and balls of light as dazzling as daylight slowly rose above the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the crisp sound of shattering rang in the ears of all living beings in this world.
At this moment, the ancient shackles that had held this world in place for countless years suddenly collapsed.
All living beings saw that at the end of the distant sky, there appeared a space crack like a broken mirror, covered with cracks, and it was imprinted on the sky like a mark of divine punishment.
As if summoned by the space rift, countless descendants of the demon clan suddenly felt a throbbing surge deep in their blood.
It seems that the other side of the rift is their long-cherished homeland.
In an instant, all living beings involuntarily rushed towards Moro City.
However, as the instigator, Lin En knew nothing about the dramatic changes that had taken place in the abyss world.
At this moment, he clenched his teeth and stared at the sky.
"Cursed, be careful next." The sacred tree spirit suddenly transformed into a point of light and dissipated, returning to its original form. "The intensity of this divine punishment is unprecedented. Even after penetrating the world barrier, it still retains 40% of its power. Even if I give my all, I'm afraid I can only block 35% for you."
However, the reality is that the remaining half is far beyond what Lin En can bear now.
But he didn't retreat an inch.
There is no way to retreat.
At this critical moment, Lin En suddenly asked, "Sir, why are you risking your life for these aliens?"
"It's just because of a promise I made back then."
The voice of the sacred tree was rarely turbulent, with a hint of vicissitudes.
The next second, the shape of the sacred tree suddenly began to expand rapidly, and countless branches extended toward the sky like a tide, casting shadows that covered the sky and the sun, as if to strangle the countless lightning bolts.
The power of this sacred tree should not be underestimated. Coupled with its inherently powerful body, Lin En felt that even if she could not defeat a real god, ordinary gods would probably not be able to do anything to her.
Unfortunately, the divine punishment brought down by the world's will seems to have surpassed the means of ordinary gods.
This is an almost irresistible supreme force that strikes directly at the soul, representing the judgment of the world's supreme laws!
Since the creation of the world by the Creator God, although some people have survived divine punishment, that was all the result of God's leniency.
At this moment, facing Lin En who has repeatedly tampered with the world line, the world will is obviously really angry and does not want to give him any chance to survive.
"boom--!!!"
In an instant, countless bolts of lightning poured down, the dazzling electric light exploded like a wave, and the surface of the towering trees was instantly covered with charred cracks.
Countless branches were ablaze, and the thick trunks kept cracking and falling. In just a few seconds, the spirit of the sacred tree showed signs of decline!
But like Lin En, she had no intention of retreating, and just silently endured every bombardment of divine punishment.
After breaking through the barrier, countless burning meteorites swooped down rapidly. Each swoop left large scorch marks on the trunk of the sacred tree, causing its originally vast vitality to decline rapidly.
But fortunately, the power of divine punishment gradually weakened with each attack.
Although the aura of destruction contained in it is still terrifying, it no longer has the original power to destroy the world.
At this moment, a weak voice echoed in Lin En's heart: "I can only stop here. Cursed one, may fate favor you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sacred tree that originally stood tall and straight suddenly withered and turned yellow, as if its vitality was instantly drained away, and then turned into dust and drifted away.
The dense branches that had been covering the forest disappeared like the ebbing tide.
At this moment, there was no longer any barrier between the giant dragon transformed from thunder and the burning meteorite in the sky and Lin En.
"Thank you for your help." Lin En bowed solemnly, "Leave the rest to me."
Although a hint of determination flashed in Lin En's eyes, with his own strength, he had no means to resist the divine punishment.
Lynn took a deep breath, drew his spear, and rushed up the withered tree trunk, straight into the sky.
In the end, you still have to face this disaster alone.
This is the fate he must bear.
Of course, Lynn didn't feel that he was fighting alone at the moment. At this moment, the figure of Yvesette appeared in his mind.
In a trance, it seemed that the two were fighting side by side!
The wilted dragon in the clouds seemed to sense that this ant-like guy dared to challenge the will of the world, and swooped down directly!
Lightning flashed across the sky, distorting even the space.
No one believed that Lin En could survive the divine punishment, they were just curious about how he would die in the end.
In an instant, a torrent of black mist surged out from Lin En's body. He did not use his previous fighting methods because he knew very well that methods such as Endless Silk, Liar Eater, and Crown of Thorns were of no use when facing the divine punishment brought down by the will of the world.
At this critical moment of life and death, there is only one person he can rely on.
That is Ivester, who is willing to kill gods for him!
"Annihilate me!"
Lin En roared, his eyes fixed on the giant dragon transformed from thunder and the countless meteorites pouring towards him. Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
He also didn't know whether he, who shared some of Ivester's power, could survive this horrific divine punishment.
Most likely it is not possible.
But for some reason, Lin En was smiling at this moment.
The previous fear and despair had long since vanished.
Faced with the greatest life-and-death test since he traveled through time, he was surprisingly calm and didn't even care about life and death.
In fact, when he came into this world, he had a premonition that this day would come.
Fortunately, before setting out for the Tomb of Heremus, he had prepared for the worst and wrote a suicide note for Yvesthene.
Think about it from another perspective. These extra thirty days of journey to another world can be regarded as a gift for saving millions of people in Grosstin.
“My life may be short, but it is as bright as a shooting star, and I have no regrets.”
Lin En raised a self-deprecating arc at the corner of his mouth, and silently added the last unfinished words in his heart.
"Except... I'm still a fucking virgin."
He slowly closed his eyes.
"What a coincidence, me too."
A female voice as cold as frost suddenly came from high above.
Lin En suddenly opened his eyes.
Amidst the thunder and lightning, that familiar figure stood proudly above the sky. Her brilliant golden hair glowed with divine radiance under the illumination of the thunder. She slowly opened her arms, her posture so graceful as if she was welcoming the coronation of the gods.
