Su Mingan knew with his eyes closed what this person was going to say.
He waved his hand and continued to fly upwards. Su Lin no longer followed him, but just hummed something. The sound floated in the air, low and cold.
That seemed to be... Praya's hymn to God.
I don’t know whether this guy is singing for himself or for Su Mingan.
Su Mingan recalled the content he had watched in the Cinema of Destiny.
He wanted to go against fate for once... to declare to fate with a tiny bit of resistance that he had not given up.
…
[“I volunteered.” Su Mingan’s voice was very calm.]
…
"I didn't do it voluntarily." Su Mingan spoke in a calm voice.
At the same time, Eli, Mizushima Kawase and others also remembered the contents of the Destiny Cinema. Mizushima Kawase opened his mouth and murmured:
"yes……"
"You will die from that... scene in the sky."
“It came true.”
…
[“No one is wrong.”]
…
"Everyone is wrong." Su Mingan said softly.
The shadows reached out to Him, and the stars twinkled around them.
…
【“Go on.”】
…
"Don't go any further." Su Ming'an said.
He is like a child who deliberately goes against fate and does not act according to the predictions of the theater of fate.
Then, He sensed the next sound—
“BOOM——!!”
…
[“Boom——”]
[A thunderous sound suddenly sounded.]
…
That was the sound made by Su Mingan completely leaving the old world and entering the starry sky, like oil melting into a pot of water.
The next moment,
…
[Blackness swept over, drowning out all vision. Including Su Mingan, who was dressed in holy white.]
…
Su Mingan turned around one last time and glanced at the people on the ground. They were as small as ants.
In their eyes...
He may...really have "died in the sky".
The god in holy white fell into the vast starry sky and disappeared from people's sight. The strange creatures and pollution also gradually receded.
The holy city returned to peace, with only the weeping and sorrow of the people. They called out to Su Mingan over and over again, as if he would come back if they called out louder.
But after a while, they looked at the vast and peaceful starry sky and finally realized the truth.
...The gods may never come back.
For the sake of the Old World, He agreed to the invaders' conditions, was "sacrificed" in their eyes, and took away all the pain.
"Su Mingan." Xiao Ying was not sure if he shouted this out from his throat, but he quickly shouted again:
"……don't want."
He collapsed on the bluestone slab, having lost all his strength.
…
In the 15th year of the Tianshi era, at the end of winter, sacrifices were made to the gods.
The spirits took over the place of the gods.
This is the coldest winter.
…
People discovered that a large pure white tree had grown in the central square of the holy city.
People said that before the god left, he left his white tentacles on the ground. The tentacles turned into giant trees.
They began to believe that the god was just sleeping in the tree. If something happened to the shadow one day, the god's consciousness would return to the tree.
As a result, such stories spread, and people began to believe that the gods from the white tree in the sky would return one day.
They built shrines, temples, and sacrificial squares next to the sacred tree, sent flowers and the most devout believers to the sacred tree, recited prayers to the gods every day, built statues, and played musical instruments.
They believe that one day, God will wake up.
Maybe, tomorrow.
Maybe, in a few years’ time.
Maybe, for one, two, or even three generations.
Maybe... it can exceed the human lifespan by a hundred years.
Maybe,
Never wake up.
…
Asagao watched the sky slowly close.
Su Mingan's figure, the strange creatures that covered the sky, and the shadows of the higher-dimensional beings were all gone.
The sky was clear and the sun was setting. The whole holy city was bathed in golden sunlight, as if covered with a clean, pure and quiet gauze. It was a picture of survival after a disaster.
People still maintained their kneeling posture, as if time had stopped at the moment when Su Ming'an left. Mizushima Kawaseong's eyes were hazy, Eli looked incredulous, and Lu Meng's expression was frozen. They could never have imagined that... Su Ming'an really sacrificed himself for civilization. They seemed to be still immersed in a dream, not yet awake, with a look of melancholy on their faces.
Chao Yan smiled bitterly and glanced at the source of her life. As expected, after burning her life this time, she could only live for a year at most.
Can she wait for him?
She doesn't know.
It seemed that no matter what he did... He was always sacrificing himself. She burned herself desperately, but in the end, she was left with nothing.
She slowly leaned down and covered her face.
Then,
——The girl let out a cry like a wolf’s howl.
