Su Mingan's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly realized something——
This is the promise that Dieying has made after gathering thousands of years of accumulation. It is a word spirit with the highest status, the largest scope, the strongest applicability, and even surpassing all other word spirits.
Su Mingan knew a long time ago that the Word Spirit was a small wish-granting machine. As long as the status was high enough and the price paid was high enough, the content, object, method, duration of the wish would all be improved.
Dieying didn't have much energy, as he had used it all to invade the Old World. However, his status was high enough, so as long as he gathered his limited energy and sent out a spiritual word to one person -
This word of spiritual power will have a very high priority.
put all one's eggs in one basket.
He cursed Su Mingan——
He smiled, like the last bit of warmth before the sunset:
"I curse you - painless and insensible, immortal and indestructible."
"Su Ming'an. I curse you - painless and insensible, immortal and indestructible!!"
Click.
Click, click, click.
...It seems like something is making a sound.
Is it an invisible clock, or the pointer of fate?
The causal line was like a big net, rushing towards Su Mingan. He retreated, but the net followed him like a shadow.
...What is this.
What a vicious curse.
Su Mingan didn't dare to accept this curse. To others it was a blessing, but to him it was destruction.
"Is this your trump card?" Su Mingan said.
This at most blocks his remaining three days of retreat, and is not an insurmountable obstacle.
The overlapping images make the smile even brighter.
Layers of Lamb Barriers were erected one after another. Space vibration, judgment, gravity suppression, floating cannons... Su Mingan threw out devastating attacks, but the enemy was a double shadow, and all the attacks passed through the layer where he was.
Su Mingan dodged the big net, but soon heard an explosion.
“BOOM—BOOM!”
A violent explosion sounded close to his ear, and the scorching heat burned his ear.
...Why did it explode? Where did it explode?
As he struggled to avoid the net—
The pupils suddenly contracted.
The raging fire burned fiercely in the air, like a giant beast that swallowed up the sky and blocked out the sun. It swallowed up the white jade bricks and tiles, and the pillars of the palace collapsed. The fire was blessed by some kind of authority and covered the entire old temple.
...The old shrine exploded.
Su Ming'an stared blankly at the flames rising high below. The white bricks and tiles splashed all around, and the beautiful glazed roof was torn to pieces by the shock wave.
Lu Shu, Nuoer, Lu Meng, Li Yuxuan... In order to build the life hard drive that General Qin turned into, they are all in it at this time.
The Old Palace is the most heavily guarded place in the Holy City. It is impossible for Die Ying to interfere with the Old Palace. Only the people of the Holy City can blow it up.
He saw a figure.
The man's face was expressionless, and the mark of perfect clearance lingered around him - besides Chao Yan, there was only one person who could have so many marks.
The Liuyun jade pendant on the man's waist swayed slightly. He looked at Su Mingan for a moment, then quickly looked away, as if he didn't dare to face Su Mingan.
"...Sorry." The man said in a low voice.
Su Mingan instantly understood Duying's method.
This was not a killing move that would kill Su Ming'an. It was just to block his retreat, and then... send Xiao Ying to kill his companion.
Even the explosives Xiao Ying used had traces - a thousand years later, when Hei Que blew up the Holy City, he also used this kind of explosives. It turned out that this explosive was given by Die Ying in the first place.
If Su Mingan ignored the explosion and continued to move forward step by step, humans would certainly win.
But if Su Mingan wants to save his companions, his own death has been sealed, so he can only use the old god's power of time.
Human time will stay at this time node for a long time, over and over again.
And the most important thing is——
…
[Power and timeline crossing. (Limited to the scope of the old world)]
…
Overlapping images do not belong to the olden days.
The power of time can restrict humans, but it cannot restrict Die Ying. As long as Su Mingan repeats it over and over again, Die Ying will eventually break through the defense line, but humans cannot strengthen the defense line.
The tug of war will be broken.
As long as Su Mingan dares to stay at this time point——
In the tug-of-war between humans and their shadows, the balance will tip.
"Now." Dieying said softly:
"Su Mingan."
"—You have become the chain that binds the entire human civilization."
"It's to go down and embrace victory."
"Or... keep looking back? Let human civilization become more and more fragile as you look back?"
"But you won't give up, right? Even once, once, and again... even countless times..."
"You said it yourself. You'll stand in front of the train countless times and stop it with your dead body. So... go ahead."
“I saw it with my own eyes.”
"I am waiting for... the moment when the balance of the tug-of-war is broken. On one side of the scale is the Old World, and on the other side are all the people in the Old Temple."
"The tram pole is right in front of you."
"Can you still...hear their faint...cries? God?"
…
Golden and red fireworks explode in the distance, and the New Year is coming.
Su Mingan cut his wrist and watched quietly.
There was no blood from the wrist.
