Chapter 859 Are You a God?
The sky and the earth were dark, with endless dark clouds covering the sky. The land was barren and the mountains were broken. Looking around, the surface was full of potholes and there were no flowers or plants. Everything seemed so desolate and dead.
On a large piece of rubble-covered ground, two small figures were walking forward. Their bodies were shaking, as if they would fall down at any time.
The one walking in front was a skinny boy, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old. He was wearing tattered clothes and was dirty. His hair was like a bird's nest. He was shoeless, and his ankles were stained with blood that had long since dried.
Behind him was a girl of seven or eight years old. Like the boy in front, she was ragged and dirty. She was holding a withered flower in her hand. She lowered her head and walked very slowly, with the distance between her and the boy constantly widening.
The young man stopped and turned to look at his sister who was already ten feet away from him. He did not say anything, but just looked at her quietly.
He waited until the girl came in front of him before turning around and continuing forward.
He walked and stopped along the way, waiting for his sister from time to time, and it seemed like there would be no end. This world was always in such darkness, with no distinction between day and night. He could see the road clearly, but could not see the bright light.
Sudden.
The boy's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly forward to a puddle. He knelt down beside the puddle, supported himself with his hands, and began to drink water, regardless of how turbid the water was, and the floating plasma did not attract his attention.
Seeing the boy's actions, the girl quickened her pace, staggered to his side, knelt on the ground, and drank water together.
The brother and sister drank water like wild animals, looking so small in this desolate land.
“Ahem…”
The girl suddenly sat on the ground and started coughing violently.
The boy looked up at her and complained, "Drink slowly, there are only two of us, this is enough for us."
After the girl stopped coughing, she whispered, "I'm sorry, brother."
The boy sighed, rubbed her head and motioned for her to continue drinking.
The girl crawled down and continued to drink water. The boy looked at her, his heart filled with sadness.
When he was young, he was from a wealthy family. He could eat whatever he wanted and drink whatever he wanted. However, the year his sister was born, countless meteorites fell from outer space and the city he lived in was destroyed. Only he and his sister survived. Even he himself found it incredible that he, at such a young age, had raised his sister to this age.
Looking back on the past, it seemed like a lifetime ago, and looking at the future, he felt only infinite confusion in his heart.
He could hardly hold on any longer, he did not understand the meaning of living, he did not have the confidence to raise his sister to adulthood, because he himself did not have the confidence to live a few more years.
As he thought about it, he sat on the ground and looked up at the dark sky.
The blue sky in his memory seemed to not exist at all, everything was just his imagination.
The boy suddenly felt very sleepy, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He slowly lay down, his whole body spread out.
At this moment, the endless dark clouds in the sky began to churn, quickly forming a spectacular vortex that grew larger and larger, as if it was about to swallow up the entire world.
The young man's eyes widened. He suspected that he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again. The vortex of dark clouds in the sky became bigger, and there was even thunder and lightning, but there was no sound. It seemed like an illusion.
He quickly turned over and sat up, patted his sister on the back and motioned for her to look up.
The girl looked up, then her eyes widened and her mouth opened subconsciously, and the turbid water flowed down, wetting her clothes.
The brother and sister stared at the sky blankly, at a loss as to what to do.
Soon, a black mist surged out from the vortex of dark clouds and spread to the entire world, making it extremely depressing. Gradually, the boy heard a buzzing sound. He immediately became alert, and hurriedly pulled up his sister and ran towards a huge rock not far away.
The brother and sister hid behind a huge rock. The girl covered her mouth, while the boy cautiously looked over, his pupils suddenly dilated.
It turned out that it was not black fog, but a group of terrifying black demons. The demon closest to him was like a mountain flying towards him, and he was so scared that he quickly shrank back and hugged his sister tightly.
boom--
A gust of wind came howling, sand and stones flew, and the huge rocks behind the brother and sister began to tremble, which made them even more nervous and scared, but even so, they did not say a word.
A black shadow passed by, and the young man raised his head slightly, and saw a black demon with wings flying towards the end of the sky and earth. Then, other demons flew over their heads. These demons were strange and bizarre, some looked like humans, some looked like monsters, each of them was huge in size, and exuded a brutal smell of blood.
The boy was terrified. He lowered his head again, not daring to look.
The sound of the demons flying by was so noisy, getting louder and louder until it was deafening.
"Why……"
"Why do we have to live in such a world..."
"Why do we have to live..."
"Father, you said that there are gods in heaven and earth. If there are gods, why don't they protect us..."
"Father, is there really anyone else in this world besides us..."
The boy cried in his heart, he was only thirteen years old. No matter how strong he was, he would be afraid and despair when facing the evil demons everywhere.
He held his sister's head tightly, fearing that she would see the horrible scene in the sky.
only……
He felt a gust of wind coming from the front. The evil demons were clearly flying forward from behind them, so how could there be wind in front?
He realized something and his body began to tremble violently.
"Father...I'm afraid..."
The boy clenched his teeth, but the uncontrollable fear still made him utter these four words.
suddenly.
The wind ahead disappeared.
All the noise between heaven and earth came to an abrupt halt. The boy became even more nervous and did not dare to look up.
After a long while, he mustered up the courage to look up. When he saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly looked up, opened his eyes wide, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
In front of him stood a man in black, facing the wind. Black flames filled the sky. He could even see the remains of the evil demon gradually turning into ashes.
Rays of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds and shone upon the earth. One of the rays of sunlight passed across the boulder where they were, then passed over the man in black, and shone all the way to the end of the sky and earth.
The young man stared blankly at the back of the man in black. He subconsciously said, "Father..."
When the girl heard his words, she looked up and was also startled by the man in black.
"Young man, I am not your father."
A gentle voice was heard, and the man in black turned his head to look at them. The man in black's face also amazed the brother and sister.
So handsome...
Looks great...
The brother and sister looked at the smile on Gu An's face, and the fear and anxiety in their hearts receded like the tide.
"You...are you a god?" the boy asked in a trembling voice.
