The funeral would begin two days later, at six o 'clock in the afternoon.
Because the Continuation Institute hadn't finished its work and there were still many things to prepare, this funeral was only announced internally and not publicly.
In addition to the representatives and members of the major genealogies, as a member and successor of the Celestial genealogy, Huai Shi also received an invitation from the Secretariat under Russell's arrangement to attend with Russell as an accompaniment.
As expected, the atmosphere was solemn. In the spacious auditorium, under the projection of reality, all the participants were calm and serious. They sat in their seats and didn't say a word.
Their natural enemy, Chu Hai, sat silently beside the Mystic Bird and silently stared at the names engraved on the wall. The siblings, Lucius and Lukiya, were still receiving treatment in the Continuation Institute and couldn't come in person.
Originally, Huai Shi thought he could see Elder Luo, but the old man who looked coldly at life and death didn't come. After he got what he wanted from the Astronomy Society, he returned to hell again.
He didn't even see Huai Shi's face. He only left him a note, asking him to tell Luo Xian where he went when he saw her.
He didn't want to say more about the inside story. Huai Shi sighed and put away the note.
He raised his head and looked at the stage.
The slightly late Yegor looked extremely haggard. Too many things had happened in the past few days, constantly tormenting his spirit and endurance. However, Yegor was still an ordinary person. Even if he had the technology of the Astronomy Society, it was still limited.
If it wasn't for the little bit of rest time, there would be one more person on the list today.
"Today, we gather in one place to remember the heroes who passed away. May their souls live forever and take care of the world."
In the silent auditorium, only the hoarse voice echoed.
He recited every name that passed away so forcefully, as if he was using all his strength to squeeze the words out of his lungs.
In the solemn atmosphere, only the low voice echoed.
"Their sacrifice wasn't in vain. Because of their dedication, the Element of Destruction – Boxun was successfully contained. More than two hundred Abyssal Orders collapsed as a result, and countless Abyssal Orders fell into eternal slumber.
The Dream Disease, Omega Sadomasochism, Deep Syndrome, Mind Fission, and many other Elementium plagues and memes had been eradicated. The total number of people who were saved was more than 164,000, and there were even more …
As a result, his cultivation value had already reached 46%, and it was still increasing slowly. These are the treasures they left behind, and they will be the lights that will guide us forward … "
Huai Shi did not hear the rest of the words clearly.
It was too suffocating.
As a result, he gradually fell into a trance during the long period of listening.
After a long time, Russell patted him on the shoulder and woke him up. Only then did he realize that the auditorium was empty.
Everyone had already left.
Only he and Russell were left sitting there, staring at the names engraved on the metal.
"Is it over?"
Huai Shi asked blankly.
"What else?" Russell asked, "Let's go, Huai Shi. I still have work to do in the afternoon …"
Huai Shi didn't say anything.
Since two days ago, in the long period of shock, he still hadn't recovered from the brief announcement.
After removing the irrelevant embellishments, the straightforward results were too cold. It always made people feel depressed and unable to get rid of the knot in their hearts.
He even suspected that those guys from the Directorate of Defense did it on purpose.
There was a sense of step-by-step indifference.
It was unpleasant.
"Isn't this a little too cold?" He sighed tiredly.
"Isn't that how bureaucracies are?" Russell shook his head. "Comparing the results, it's all worth it. Huai Shi, you have to learn to accept reality.
Besides, who would be surprised by something that was already expected? "
"… You …"
Huai Shi stiffened. "What do you mean?"
"Do you know what the Continuation Institute's style is? It's not a sure thing, but a foolproof one! "
Russell sighed. "They don't usually speak, but once they do, as long as they follow their plan, there's absolutely no problem at all.
Unless it's absolutely safe, they won't act rashly and take any risks. If the Directorate of Defense is a centrist and balanced party, then they and the Utopia are absolute opposites —
But have you ever thought that after so many years of planning, there would be so many sacrifices? "
In a hurry, Huai Shi only felt a buzzing in his head.
It was hard to understand.
"What do you mean?"
"The literal meaning, Huai Shi. The list of sacrifices was destined from the beginning."
Russell replied straightforwardly, "Maybe when the timetable was written, the battle against Boxun hadn't even begun yet …
If you ask me, most likely, each of them had already received the news of their death before they set off.
Even according to the style of the Continuation Institute, the time of death might be accurate to the minute and second.
Everything is part of the plan, Huai Shi. All sacrifices are meaningful, and all deaths must belong to someone.
Their funerals have been held long before they set off.
What's here today is just a process … An announcement, an official answer, a notice to everyone who should know. Other than that, there's no meaning. "
Russell paused for a moment, sighed, and looked at the distant sky.
"Because the people who really need a funeral are not here."
When the mighty bell rang in the sky, countless white pigeons rose into the air.
At this moment, Dongxia, Rome, Egypt, America … Everything in the present world ushered in silence again.
It was like a moment of silence of compassion.
An elegy was played.
With so many sacrifices and miracles as the price.
With the cultivation points brought about by this battle as a sacrifice.
With the three great mystic instruments as a guide —
In the deepest part of the Astronomical Association, the light on the Silent One's stele was lit up again.
The projection of the Silver Sea appeared again. The sea of souls that gathered all humans surged with brilliant waves, and the sound of the waves was like singing.
The power to correct the world was once again operating here!
It caused waves to appear in the eternal sea of brilliance again.
It was towards the border defense line that was still burning with the flames of war. On the endless sea, in the eternal fog, in the iron rain of the Wilderness, and between the burning mountains …
It was also towards hell.
The pioneering teams buried between the snow and sharp blades, the lonely people lost in the depths, and the fearless people who snuggled together with a smile and hugged each other to death.
In the battles that started not long ago, in the wars that would continue into the future …
The tranquil ripples from the Present Realm slowly expanded.
Just like a late mother, it gently opened its arms and hugged every wandering lonely soul, soothing the sadness and despair on all the empty faces.
Finally, it smiled and held their hands.
They stepped on the way home.
From now on, there would be no more obstacles on the way home!
.
.
Half a month later, in the deepest part of the Dragon Vein in Dongxia, a mighty roar echoed.
In the brilliant flames flowing underground, an ancient stone altar slowly rose. Under the support of layers of mystic instruments, it emitted a dark light.
In the slowly opening spirit coffin, the rich smell of herbs rose with the bubbles.
The reborn person slowly opened his eyes.
He saw the smiling face of Mystic Bird.
"How does it feel to be reborn?"
"It sucks." Fu Canguang panted and shook his head, "It feels like … I'm running away … What about the others? Are the others okay? "
"Jixiang Tian has reached the end of her life and left her legacy in advance. Awinhayi and Tipiyurette's consciousness have most likely returned to the embrace of the living god. Surter's solidification can no longer be reversed. He was the first to sign up, I'm afraid … As for the Continuation Academy, they have their own arrangements. We outsiders can't interfere, but they will definitely not let this sacrifice go to waste."
Mystic Bird sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Ah Hai spent a lot of effort to bring you back. Don't let his efforts go to waste."
"I know."
Fu Canguang was silent for a long time and slowly nodded, "I just helped to take care of my daughter for a few years, and I have to repay such a big favor. I feel bad."
As he spoke, he was about to get up, but suddenly, he froze on the spot.
"Something's not right …"
In the silence, he looked down at his hands in confusion and gradually widened his eyes, "Is there a mistake somewhere?"
The Thunder Echo that used to be as natural as breathing had disappeared, and the Eternal Blessings from the Qilin had been completely exhausted.
The Stigmata was gone.
More importantly …
"Isn't this normal? What's wrong? "
Xuan Niao picked up the camera hidden in his sleeve and pointed it at his old friend's dull face. "Come, look here, this is a precious memory … Look at you, you're alive and kicking, aren't you … very … very cute?"
Pfft.
In the silence, it was so clear.
In the distance, Kuafu, who was poking his head out from behind the door, could not hold it in anymore. He held his stomach and laughed hysterically. He slapped the ground, and suddenly the earth shook.
"Hahahahaha!!!!!"
In the reflection of the camera, Fu Canguang looked up, revealing his chubby white cheeks, pink and soft like a little dumpling.
He looked at his new body in a daze.
"What the hell!"
The former number one in Dongxia screamed, "Why did I become a two-year-old child?"
"What's wrong with being a child? Children have great potential! "
Mystic Bird's expression became serious, and he answered earnestly, "You don't know the cost of living until you're in charge of the house, right? There's only so much Living Soil left at home, so you should save it!
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that you can't accept it, I'd like to save some things for you … "
"Old thing, I'll kill you!!!"
Fu Canguang roared, jumped up with all his strength, and punched Mystic Bird's knee.
Then, a crisp sound came from his tender fingers.
He slowly bent down.
"Wah."
It was so painful that he cried out …
.
.
After a short rest and examination, after confirming that it was just swelling and there were no other problems, Canguang was discharged from the hospital.
In order to maintain his little dignity, he seriously refused the children's clothes provided by Bai Ze and still wore his original clothes … But the sleeves and trouser legs were rolled up many times, which looked very strange.
As he walked, he would accidentally come out from his collar.
A young man with the surname Yuan, who was passing by, said that he was cute. After pinching his face, he walked away, completely unaware of the cold eyes behind him.
Damn brat, just you wait! When I level up again, you'll be f * cking dead!
In Mystic Bird's office, the two sat behind the table again, and finally had time to talk about the end of the mission.
"Where's Little White?"
Fu Canguang, who had just sat down, asked directly.
"She's asleep."
Mystic Bird tilted his head and wanted to light the pipe, but after seeing Fu Canguang's current state, he helplessly put down the pipe, which made the former number one in Dongxia furious again.
In order to avoid destroying their many years of friendship, he quickly continued the original topic, "Little White is fine, no problem. But after seeing you die with her own eyes, she went through nirvana when she came back, so she'll probably sleep for a long time this time.
It seems that she's too sad. "
"There's no way to hide it from her." Fu Canguang shook his head, and his tender face showed an unusual vicissitude, "What about the Death Trial? What about the Death Trial that was supposed to happen seven years later? "
Mystic Bird was silent for a long time, and he wanted to say something but stopped.
Fu Canguang's eyes widened, and he almost crawled up from the chair and stood on the table in disbelief, "Hey, I've already died once, and even took out the Kirin, it won't be a waste of effort, right?!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, it won't be a waste!"
Mystic Bird's expression was complicated, and he waved his hand, "60% of 100% is no longer absolute. Plus, there's still Ah Hai, so there won't be any problems. "
"That's more like it …"
Fu Canguang breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back on the table, and snorted, "I've told you many years ago, Weapon Grandmasters are like drinking poison to quench thirst! Not only is it against the heavens, but it will also bring disaster to your descendants, and if you're not careful, your whole family will die, but you just didn't listen! You insisted on letting Ah Hai level up, now you regret it, right? "
"What else can I do?" Mystic Bird asked, "Back then, Lu Wu died, and you know what the Dongxia system was like, right? Even you risked your life to cultivate the divine art in reverse, and you won't allow others to sacrifice themselves? "
Fu Canguang did not speak.
For a moment, both of them fell into silence.
However, compared to the solemn atmosphere before, the atmosphere was much more relaxed now.
Finally, the great trouble left behind back then was gone.
So many years of waiting, so much planning and preparation, and with this achievement of eliminating the element of destruction, the correction value obtained offset the originally increasing calamity.
Seven years later, the calamity of solidification had disappeared, but on the other hand … it had become the Red Luan Star Movement, and it pointed to a certain guy that made Mystic Bird's teeth ache!
F * ck!
This was what made Mystic Bird feel the most uncomfortable.
He had calculated and calculated, yet he had missed the most crucial point … Could this be fate?
Wasn't this a little too outrageous?!
Thinking of this, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at the ceiling, and then Fu Canguang kicked him in the face.
"Stop looking, you don't have much time left, and you're still looking." Fu Canguang glanced at his calm expression and couldn't help but get angry, "What can you see if you look at it every day?"
"I just hope that I can see the future."
Mystic Bird was silent for a long time, and then he shook his head, "Be prepared, Canguang, we don't have much time left."
The signs of chaos had already appeared.
Even if he couldn't see anything clearly, he could feel that more cruel, more ferocious, and more dark changes were slowly brewing in the rolling tide of fate, gradually attacking this world.
No one knew how much time was left for them.
"It's useless to think too much, you can only scare yourself."
Fu Canguang tried to tiptoe and patted his shoulder, "When we old people are all dead, the young people will have grown up, and the future will be handed over to them."
"Who said that, I can still work for another thirty years!"
"Thirty years? Hehe, you can barely hold on for another ten years! "
"It's right to not lose in momentum, look at Celestial genealogy, she's so skilled in this, I've learned it."
"Forget it, that's called bravery in the face of battle, you can't learn it like this!"
…
In this long afternoon, dust rustled from the sunlight outside the window.
Occasionally, when he was dealing with things, Mystic Bird couldn't help but lower his head and look at the deepest part of the Dragon Vein, the slender silhouette among countless streams of light.
Under the shadow of the giant vermillion bird's wings, the girl was quietly sleeping, immersed in a long dream. Lightning faintly appeared around her body.
Only one step left, the last step …
"Sleep, sleep, when you wake up, you'll grow up."
Mystic Bird smiled expectantly, and whispered his wish.
He threw away the haze that was transferred to his future as a price, and didn't care about it anymore.
No matter how much darkness there was, it was still darkness, and there wouldn't be any change. It didn't matter if he sank deeper or shallower into the quagmire.
But light only needed pure light, and it couldn't be tainted with a trace of flaw.
After completely integrating with this Auspicious Blessing from the Qilin, in at most ten years, there wouldn't be a second White Emperor's Son in Dongxia in this world.
Only the youngest natural enemy …
— Natural enemy, White Emperor's Son!
