Hearing the voice, Ye Lan smiled.
"Yeah, why is it always me who dies? God is so cruel to me."
She is also a person of flesh and blood, a person with a heart. She also has fears, fear of death, feels tired and wants to retreat, and sometimes resents the injustice of the world.
But after the resentment is over, what needs to be faced still has to be faced.
"Thunder Lake can certainly quell a subterranean fire eruption, but it can't block the source. As long as the corpse-raising formation remains unbroken, the subterranean fire will continue to wreak havoc on the balance of the earth's crust. Therefore, the best way is for me to break the corpse-raising formation."
The method to break the formation is also simple. You just need to agree to merge with the powerful soul in the crystal column.
"This situation may not be hopeless. If luck is on our side and that powerful being is successfully awakened, I can still retain my current memories. Even without me, the failure of the ascension a thousand years ago was enough to make a man suffer. This catastrophe can be prevented no matter what."
This is the optimal solution.
It is also the fastest way to quell the underground fire and save countless lives.
Everyone just listened to her quietly, no one said a word.
Because they knew very well that no matter how many advantages they said, Ye Lan would still die in the end.
The best outcome is that her consciousness might remain, but the worst outcome is that she could not survive and was destroyed to ashes by the high temperature and corpse-raising array the moment she entered the magma.
Under such circumstances, their hearts had long been numb with pain, let alone talking about other benefits of breaking the formation.
So Ye Lan made all the decisions throughout the process.
At the end of her words, she turned to Lei Ze, pursed her lips and asked again, "You know the location of the rough stone, right?"
Lei Ze met her gaze, the depth in his eyes making it hard to tell whether it belonged to him or Xiao Yunting. He only clearly reflected the girl's figure. He then nodded slowly and replied, "Yes, it is the cornerstone of the corpse-raising formation."
cornerstone.
Hearing this, Ye Lan suddenly understood.
Even if one has practiced for thousands of years and possesses the power of heavenly fragments, using earth fire to maintain the operation of a formation for such a long time requires absolute suppression of natural energy.
The source of this energy is Lei Ze’s heart, the original stone of heaven and earth.
Lei Ze didn't take action before because he probably knew that once the original stone was retrieved and the earth fire was released, it would only accelerate the extinction of mankind, and even they would be the first to suffer.
"If he had taken the initiative to break the formation, what would be the probability of you taking back the raw stone and calming the underground fire while I was merging with the powerful soul?"
Ye Lan analyzed calmly.
Lei Ze was silent for a moment. For a moment, he didn't want to tell her the answer, but seeing the determination in her clear eyes, he knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he could only tell the truth: "It only takes one minute for the other party to wake up the corpse."
If he retrieves the stone in just one minute, he can use the power of the earth to control the spreading fire and suppress all erupting volcanoes.
"So, the success rate is 100%." After finally hearing the definite news, Ye Lan's brows relaxed a little, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, revealing a bit of the youthful liveliness of a young girl. Before turning back, she glanced at Lei Ze slightly and asked, "Can I hold your hand and go in?"
Lei Ze was stunned for a moment, then realized that the person she wanted to hold hands with was Xiao Yunting. Perhaps it was because their souls had merged, which reduced the resistance in his heart, or perhaps it was because the girl's eyes were too calm at the moment, making him unable to refuse.
So when the girl's cool fingertips touched him, he circled them in his palm and held them tightly.
Two figures stepped back into the church.
In the underground passage, the dark river was still filled with demonic energy, and the air was humid and hot.
When they reached Ditan Park, the monsters had been completely devoured, their bodies lying in pieces on the ground. The man's hands were covered in black slime, and his clothes and face were covered in this filth.
He sat there bored. Seeing Ye Lan and his group return, the corners of his lips curled up slowly, his eyes filled with unconcealed elation and arrogance. "You're back. Is the world outside exciting? How does it feel to watch your kind die one after another?"
"Not very good." Ye Lan said truthfully.
The man nodded, his long legs drooping as he casually sat beneath the crystal pillar, demonic energy lingering beneath his feet. "So why bother wasting all this time? I've painstakingly planned this for a thousand years, even calculating your fate from the very beginning. How could you possibly escape my grasp?"
Calculation.
Fate.
Hearing the familiar words, Ye Lan couldn't help but ask, "Are you also a magician?"
The man raised an eyebrow, gave her a strange look, and chuckled softly, "Yes, my profound skills were taught by you personally back then."
He held the four words "taught by myself" on the tip of his tongue and chewed them over and over again. There was a kind of crazy taste in them.
Ye Lan was stunned for a while before realizing that the man was his apprentice in his previous life.
Although the various causes and conditions involved are still unknown, she has already sighed in her heart: This is truly a bad fate.
At this point, she didn't want to waste time. The man was also very unhappy to see her holding hands with Lei Ze, so he brushed off the dirt on his robe, stood up and said, "Let's start."
Ye Lan pursed her lips, turned back and thanked Lei Ze, "Can I ask you one last favor?"
After experiencing a life-and-death situation, the distance between them has shortened a lot, and they can be considered friends.
Lei Ze lowered his eyes and looked at her, "You say."
Ye Lan touched his chest, feeling the warmth and heartbeat, as if whispering to someone who had already vanished. She whispered softly, "If possible, when you leave this body, could you find a way to leave a trace of his consciousness behind?"
