The setting sun burned the light red clouds in the sky, and the grassland opposite was lush green. Under the gentle breeze, the sea of grass of different lengths swayed leisurely, showing enchanting ripples. Near and far, some people could be seen busying themselves.
On this side of the field, the clock tower in the monastery moved slowly. When it pointed at the "I", there was a long and pleasant sound of a bell.
A group of nuns in tight black and white cloaks clasped their hands together, praying and chanting devoutly. The priest at the head of the group had a smile on his face, holding a holy book in his hand, and was concentrating on reciting the Commandment Treaty.
Outside the monastery, there was a huge black stone tablet. The words on the tablet were blurred, and it was impossible to see clearly after the wind and rain. However, the spiral white dragon totem was particularly eye-catching, shining brightly. At first glance, it was clear that it was often cleaned and maintained very well.
A slender young man, wearing a white robe with a white shirt inside, stood with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the monastery. His eyes were gentle, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The little nun on duty at the entrance of the monastery, Annie, had blonde hair and blue eyes. She was only 16 years old, but she was already very beautiful, with a curvaceous body. The pair of "evil" on her chest that made countless sisters hate her so much that it almost burst out of her cloak.
Annie gave herself 8 points for her appearance and 10 points for her body. She heard that men valued the latter more, so she was very confident in her body, and felt that no man would dislike her.
Except for the genius young man of the Bai family, Bai Shili, who came and stood quietly for a while without saying anything, not far away.
At first, Annie shyly thought that the young man admired her, but was not good with words, so he came day after day without doing anything.
Now she knew that the young man did not have her in his eyes at all. He was looking at another girl inside, his sister, Bai Lili.
Annie held her chin with her hand, lost in thought.
The twin stars of the Bai family had been famous for a long time, especially the elder brother, Bai Shili. He was known as the most talented descendant of this new family, and he was already a player at this age.
It would be great if she could be with such a talented young man.
At this moment, Bai Shili seemed to have noticed the little nun on duty. He gave her a faint smile as a greeting.
Annise felt her heartbeat quicken and her cheeks flush red. She didn't know how to respond and subconsciously lowered her head to pinch the corner of her clothes.
He was looking at me! He was looking at me! He was smiling at me!
What should he do? What to do? What to do?
Annise didn't expect such a big reaction. When she finally calmed down and looked up again, the prayers in the cloister had already ended. A large number of nuns rushed out and blocked her vision.
"Annie, you've worked hard."
"Annise, let's have lunch together. We have bread and smoked ham for lunch today. It's not bad!"
She could hear the chatter of her friends, but she could barely hear them. She just casually brushed them off. Then, she stood on her tiptoes, wanting to see the young man standing not far away.
When the crowd dissipated, Anise finally saw the young man who was standing still, upright, and always so gentle.
However, at this moment, there was a mischievous girl beside him. She was wearing a very ladylike cultivation robe, but she could still appear unrestrained and cute.
They looked a little alike. They were both so good-looking.
The girl pouted and wrapped her hands around the young man's arm. She was acting coquettishly. When she got excited, she kept swaying as if she was talking about something interesting.
The young man kept smiling at first, maintaining a gentle and somewhat serious expression. Later, he finally laughed. The corners of his mouth curled up. It was very beautiful.
He smiled! He actually smiled!
This was the first time Annise saw Bai Shili smile in a month. It was so charming that she almost fainted.
In the monastery, many nuns openly expressed their love and affection for the young master of the Bai family. Some of the bolder ones even confessed their love to him, but he always had that expression on his face, that appearance, and it was the same for everyone.
Except for his sister, Bai Lili.
As time passed, no nuns went to find trouble with him anymore.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they left. Before they left, Annise suddenly felt empty in her heart. It was as if she had fallen out of love. She was reluctant and sad, and the corners of her eyes started to redden.
In this month, the two of them looked at each other at most. They didn't even say a word, but she fell just like that.
'How despicable!'
Annise cursed herself in her heart.
Then, she thought, 'If only I were Bai Lili …'
That day, the setting sun dyed the sky orange. It was a beautiful scene that Bai Shili had never seen before.
He heard from the elders in his family that before a person died, their mind would slowly replay their life. The past and the things that were worth remembering would gradually appear.
Now, he had finally reached this moment.
This feeling was very strange.
However, he didn't understand why such a scene would flash through his mind.
It wasn't because of the pressure he had to endure when he was young, nor was it because his parents both died in the battle against the calamities when he was young. It wasn't because of the leisurely, painful, sad, or loving moments with his sister. It wasn't because of the moment when he became a player, the moment when he reached Level 9 and became one of the Five Kings. It wasn't because his life was too tiring and he wanted to die …
Similar scenes kept flashing through his mind. His sister made a mistake and was forced to cultivate in the cloister for a year. He would wait for her to finish her prayers every day. He would listen to her talk about the boredom and boredom of the cloister, listen to her talk, listen to her voice …
Then, the scene changed again.
It was a cold snowy night.
Raindrops and snowflakes mixed together and hit his face. It was painful and uncomfortable.
A blood-stained broadsword suddenly appeared in front of him. Blood also dripped down and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The once green grassland was covered in blood. The huge stone tablet was shattered. The cloister was in shambles and turned into ruins under the terrifying power. The clock tower was split from the middle. Bricks and stones fell to the ground. It was no longer as glorious as it used to be.
"It can't be helped … Shili, this isn't your fault." A tall woman stood beside Bai Shili. Her ponytail was tied behind her head. There were a few scars on her face. She looked valiant and capable.
She held the handle of the broadsword. This broadsword, which was huge for a normal person, was just a normal size in her hand.
Bai Shili didn't open an umbrella. He let the snow and rain fall on him. It was cold and chilly.
He was silent and didn't say anything. He took the broadsword and continued to look at the black shadow that was still struggling and roaring in the ruins.
It was a huge spider-like creature with a human body. It had a distorted face, but he could still recognize it.
"I … I … I'm Bai Lili. I'm Bai Lili! Ahahahahaha … "
The human-shaped spider waved its broken limbs. They were still stained with the blood of the innocent nuns. It swayed and swayed. It let out a creepy laugh like a devil.
Indeed, if it wasn't so distorted, that face was almost identical to his sister, Bai Lili, whom he was familiar with.
However, it was just a resemblance.
Bai Shili didn't need to use his eyes. He could tell who his real sister was based on his senses. It was an indescribable feeling.
When he was young, he could often find his disguised sister among a group of children wearing ghost masks. No matter how she hid, changed, or used any method, he could always find her.
His companions even thought that he and Bai Lili had an agreement and cheated.
That human-shaped spider had nothing to do with his sister. Other than the fact that they had extremely similar faces.
Originally, seeing such a creature would only arouse his intense disgust. He couldn't help but kill it. He wouldn't allow such an ugly and filthy creature to taint anything about his sister.
However, now, there was only one sentence echoing in Bai Shili's mind.
'If only I could've done it earlier, earlier, earlier …'
Unfortunately, there were no 'ifs' in this world, and there was no medicine for regret.
The human-shaped spider was still roaring and shouting. It waved its remaining limbs crazily, but it didn't have much combat power left.
There were many humans who had accidentally mutated. Every year, Bai Shili would get rid of hundreds of them.
Some of them had taken dangerous potions, some had blindly devoured the flesh of mutated creatures, some had gone astray in their cultivation, and some were like her … The obsession in their hearts couldn't be suppressed and slowly fermented. In the end, they lost their rationality and consciousness. Under the stimulation of certain factors, they completely turned into brainless monsters.
Once a person started mutating and becoming a disaster, they couldn't stop. It was just a matter of time. The result was the same.
Bai Shili even thought that such creatures were no longer fit to be called humans.
However, why did it have to be her …
"I'm Bai Lili, hehe …"
Unpleasant laughter and a metallic voice.
The tall and handsome woman didn't rush him. She was slowly waiting for Bai Shili to make his choice.
Although she was the main person in charge of this trip, she knew that the new player beside her who had already shown his talent was the true target of the higher-ups.
Her path as a player had come to an end. Since she wanted to rely on the Bai Family, she had to choose a reliable person to follow. This rising young man who could still call her teacher was the best choice.
When he truly ascended to become a dragon one day, she should also gain something, right?
Bai Shili looked at the human-shaped spider quietly. Suddenly, he sighed.
What was her name?
Xue Ni? Cuisi? Or something else?
He couldn't remember.
After all, there were too many people and too many things that required his attention and attention.
He had only visited such a small monastery when his sister was repenting and reflecting on her mistakes.
How could he remember the name of a little nun?
He slashed with his sword.
The surging sword gleam shocked everyone.
The talent and strength that Bai Shili displayed once again shocked everyone.
As expected of the number one person in the younger generation, the descendant of the Bai Family who was most likely to reach Level 9.
The rows of men in black behind him sighed inwardly. Actually, they didn't need to do anything. He didn't even need that woman. He alone was enough to deal with this mutated creature.
The laughter, crying, murmuring, and talking stopped abruptly.
Then, there was a sigh that sounded like relief, comfort, and regret.
"I like it …"
No one cared about the human-shaped spider's final murmur. Other than Bai Shili, the others poured oil on the fire. This monastery had to be destroyed. No traces of it could be left behind.
"What do you think about the problem of humans turning into mutants and calamities?" The woman sheathed her broadsword. Bai Shili's warmth and the power he had used still lingered on it. It was a frightening wave.
He was only a Level 1 player, but he had reached such a level.
"They're monsters, not humans." Bai Shili turned around. He didn't look at the fire or the monastery as he answered coldly.
It was these bad things that brought despair and pain to everyone. They had to be eradicated.
If it wasn't for these mutants, she wouldn't have become a monster.
Even if she wanted to, as long as she didn't consume that medicine or accept the inducement, it was impossible for a normal person to turn into a mutant or calamity.
Bai Shili felt a ball of fire burning in his chest. It was anger.
If only these mutants didn't exist …
"Her name is Anisse. I remember now." Bai Shili, who was in a daze, finally understood. All those years, he went to pick up his sister tirelessly day after day. It wasn't for her, but for the ordinary girl who always waited at the door and would sometimes meet his gaze.
She was so ordinary. She was the most common shadow under the setting sun.
However, it was this shadow that filled a corner of his heart that was missing.
This was probably love.
Boom!
"Foolish living thing! Weak thing! " The voice in the chariot sounded again. It was so cold and merciless with a hint of mockery. It spread all over the continent and floated into the ears of everyone in Mechanized City.
After Bai Shili died, everything about him turned into a rain of light that nourished the descendants of the Bai family. Li Xiang also received some warmth. Although this level of baptism was basically useless to him, the thousands of emotions in the rain of light touched his heart deeply.
This was the life of this legendary player.
He was too tired.
It was just like the Polar night Magician who sat in the first lighthouse and didn't have to die to prove his resolve.
A long life was both a blessing and a curse.
Moreover, they were of the older generation who had experienced the ups and downs of several eras and shouldered countless responsibilities. They were already mentally and physically exhausted.
In the player base in Cold Continent, there was a special area for the elderly players to retire. There were a lot of strange and irritable players who lived there without hope.
Their experiences, killings, and burdens were far beyond what they could bear. However, for the continuation and progress of mankind, they had to force themselves to accept it and move forward step by step.
What made the players strong was their strength and their bodies, not their souls.
Even at Level 10 like them, they only received the most superficial cultivation of the spirit. They had their own mind world and their own divine kingdom. However, the mental fatigue of such a long time couldn't be improved.
He had lived long enough.
This life was enough. It wasn't worth living.
This was Bai Shili's final choice. He would end everything with death and burn in the end to protect his descendants.
"The White King … supreme."
For the first time, the only time, and also the last time, Li Xiang imitated that hand gesture and sincerely recited the tribe's language.
In the next second, a blazing white light accompanied by a white dragon appeared from the divine kingdom and poured all of it into Bai Dongxue, who was standing silently.
He was the next White King!
"Dongxue, I know that you've always regarded me as your goal. When Ye Tong appeared and Li Xiang rose to power, you were very nervous and afraid. You thought that I would find a successor from the siblings. You felt that your life was a failure and that you weren't recognized.
"However, from the beginning to the end, I felt that you were the most suitable person to accept everything from me. This position doesn't just require strength. You've trained much more than the siblings in other aspects."
Bai Dongxue suddenly opened her eyes. The last voice in her mind disappeared, and then a tear fell.
So, it had always been her …
