Time passed.
Time quickly passed.
The entirety of Aboul was in a state of celebration.
The victorious experts of the various worlds raised their arms high and let out deafening cheers.
Of course, there were also a few Combatants who were more reserved who chose to keep their mouths shut and simply smiled.
But no matter who they were, they were all immersed in great joy.
— — -this was the biggest victory in the last 1000 years.
This battle greatly boosted everyone's confidence, even those who were wavering in the middle were muttering about the [Demon King Order]'s great defeat.
The lively Aboul,
The joyous Aboul,
Aboul brimming with the joy of victory,
Today,
This place has become a dream-like place!
Even after a few dozen years, a few hundred years, or even a few thousand years.
Aboul will also symbolize the battle between the Combatants of the infinite worlds and the [Demon King Order], a milestone of victory for all living beings. It will forever be engraved in the memories of everyone who experienced it.
Deep inside Aboul Grand Hotel.
The royal green room.
All the noise and excitement were isolated outside.
It was completely silent.
Ilya pushed the door open and came in.
"Your Majesty, we are currently choosing the treasures for the Combatants of the infinite worlds, would you like to take a look?" she asked.
"No need, you understand the situation of those Combatants better than I do, you can make the decision" Lola replied.
Ilya nodded and left.
The green room returned to silence.
Gu Qing Shan finished his glass of wine and stood up.
"I have to go" he said.
"Right now?" Lola asked.
"Yes, if someone sees me staying here, it'll cause a lot of suspicion and trouble"
"What do you plan to do after this?"
"I'll go back to my own world to take a look, there's still a war going on there. There's also a lot of things to do, cultivation, repairing my sword, meeting some old friends, and my girlfriend, I wonder how she's doing right now — — in short, there's a lot of things waiting for me to do"
Listening to him seriously, Lola felt a bit disappointed.
"You … really don't want the reputation of killing the [Demon King Order]?" she asked.
"Of course, at my age, great fame will have the opposite effect on everything."
Gu Qing Shan seemed to have thought of something and sighed, "My strength is still too weak. If there is nothing else, I will go into seclusion for a period of time to improve my cultivation."
Lola looked at him and suddenly said, "Gu Qing Shan."
"What?"
"Don't you think it's hard to live like this?"
Lola asked softly, a little confused.
Gu Qing Shan was startled for a moment before she smiled and said, "There is no one in this world who does not suffer. Everyone has their own difficult moments."
Lola was puzzled. "But I have a lot of noble ladies from the Empire and the Alliance around me. After they come of age, their lives are so relaxed. They don't have to worry about anything. They just need to enjoy themselves every day."
Gu Qing Shan gradually became serious.
He could see that Lola was at the crossroads of making a decision.
My answer will help her make one of the most important decisions in her life.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "You will have to ask yourself this. Everyone has to decide for themselves which path they want to walk"
He continued: "If you are willing to live like them, you will be able to enjoy all the glory and wealth in the world, no one will be able to surpass you"
"If you don't want to walk that path and instead choose to live like me, you will face many challenges, your life will also be very difficult. But there is a single benefit to it"
"What benefit?" Lola asked.
"No one will be able to control you"
"Even in times of danger, everything will be decided by you."
"You will continue to grow stronger, you will understand the mysteries of life and the world, you will have the power to protect the people you care about, to protect everything you care about"
"You will become the War God of your own destiny"
Gu Qing Shan reached her hand out and lightly stroked Lola's head.
Lola asked: "Do you think of yourself as a God?"
"When it comes to my destiny and my dreams, yes, I am their God"
"Gu Qing Shan, do you want me to choose this path?"
"No, Lola, my opinion isn't important, everyone has to make their own decisions on the path they want to walk — — - think clearly, make up your mind, and don't regret it, this is what an adult must do"
Lola fell silent.
A while later.
She sighed and said in relief: "So after becoming an adult, life is always going to be this difficult"
Gu Qing Shan chuckled.
Because this conversation had already happened between the two of them before.
At the time, they went through many obstacles to reach the icy peak of the Old Gods, where they saw the Divine Seed's corpse through the ice.
Even thinking about it now, that scene was both eerie and terrifying.
But as a 7-year-old girl, Lola had to overcome her fear of heights, overcome her fear of monsters, and come with me to the top of the mountain to face the demonized.
At the time, Lola had asked a similar question.
But today, she seemed to be speaking with certainty.
She had made her choice.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but recall everything that had happened recently.
— — -indeed, it really wasn't easy for them to reach this point.
He sighed in his mind.
Lola also seemed to recall the scenes of the two of them getting along.
The first time the two of them met, Gu Qing Shan sprayed his face full of alcohol.
And then they met.
Entering Triste's world, going through all sorts of desperate situations and difficulties, exploring the world's secrets step by step, doing everything in their power to finally kill 200 million demonized, 100,000 ghosts, and destroy the [Demon King Order].
Lola's eyes slowly became red.
These scenes of them fighting together were so close that they were almost within reach, as if she only needed to turn around and she could run right into them.
But now, Gu Qing Shan was about to leave.
She couldn't leave him here.
He had a lot of things to do. He had his own thoughts and will.
"I don't know how to say goodbye to you, there are so many things I want to say"
Lola lowered her head and softly said.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "It's fine, it's not like I'm leaving the 900 million World Layers — — - I'll be right outside in the main hall, probably standing together with Bali and Meow, waiting for your majesty"
At this point, Ilya opened the door and came in.
"Your majesty, everything has been prepared, it will begin in one hour" she said.
Several female guards followed behind her, each holding a national robe, a crown, a scepter, a pair of high heels, as well as a lot of accessories.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything else.
He looked at Lola and was about to leave.
"Ah"
Lola instinctively called out to him in a low voice, then closed her mouth again.
For some reason, Gu Qing Shan was also a bit reluctant — — -
Those days when they fought side by side, I can't help but remember them for the rest of my life.
Looking at this little girl, Gu Qing Shan felt like she was looking at herself from all those years ago.
Logically speaking, at Lola's age, she should be staying with her parents and enjoying life.
But now, she was an orphan without any family.
She was now the Empress, about to take charge of the affairs of her country.
In the years to come, she would face many difficulties she had never faced before.
She would have to face all of them by herself.
But no one could help her.
A ruler has always been alone.
Everything had to be decided by herself.
This was the path of growth.
Gu Qing Shan maintained his smile and muttered: "Lola, I'll be leaving first, I'll see you in the main hall"
He waved to Lola and quickly left the green room.
Lola didn't say anything else.
The female guards slowly walked up and began to help Lola with her makeup.
There's only one hour left, so I'm in a bit of a rush.
A few moments later.
One of the female guards whispered:
