Join the Great Wall Guard

Chapter 323 The Heirs
The Tower of the Sun stands on the barren and vast expanse of sand and snow, connecting the sky and the earth, soaring into the clouds, and the tower is sealed under the ice and snow, silently exuding its final glow.

The organ on the top of the tower has almost stopped running, the huge gears are rotating at an extremely slow speed, and it is this final operation that prevents the Tower of the Sun from being completely buried by ice and snow.

In the tower, different from the ice and snow and barren silence of the outside world, it is another place full of vitality.

Here, there are the descendants of the demon family, as well as the demon species who fled, and report to each other for warmth.

When Lu Yu appeared in front of them, they all showed expressions of nervousness and fear.

"That. Is it a human? Or a protoss. Why does he appear here?"

Many descendants of demons and demon families felt fearful when they saw this strange comer, and could not help curling up and retreating.

Of course, there were also some who were hostile to Lu Yu and stared at him coldly, as if planning to take action at any time.

"They... seem to hate me."

Whether it came from the opponent's fear or hostility, Lu Yu was somewhat surprised, but this did not stop him.

"Because, almost everyone here was forced here by humans and gods."

Zhu Bajie explained that at the beginning, the gods wanted to expel all the demon families and exterminate all demon species.

"That's why Hou Yi is very talkative. He took in us descendants of demons and demon families who have no return, so that we can live in the tower of the sun without fleeing."

"I'm just following orders."

When Zhu Bajie introduced the building and history of the Sun Tower to Lu Yu, Hou Yi stepped down from the tall building, his scorching eyes seemed to contain the sun, and his whole body was shining brightly.

After seeing Hou Yi, the surrounding demon species and demon families all saluted him, not daring to say anything.

"Hey, brother Houyi, this little brother is called Lu Yu, the energy fluctuation yesterday is just"

"It's him, I already knew."

Seemingly thinking that Zhu Bajie was a bit verbose, Hou Yi walked straight up to Lu Yu, and stared at him for a while without saying a word.

"Are you the one chosen by Nuwa?"

Hou Yi asked bluntly, which caught Lu Yu by surprise.

"Hey, brother Houyi, what are you talking about? What is the person chosen by Nuwa? Didn't she leave long ago?"

Zhu Bajie was even more surprised, he naturally knew who Nuwa was, the god of the past, the supreme creator of the world.

"Ah."

Lu Yu nodded.

"Come with me. Zhu Bajie, you stay."

Hou Yi signaled Lu Yu to follow him, while Zhu Bajie stayed where he was.

"Damn, what are you doing so mysteriously, I'm the only one who praised you for being so talkative."

Seeing the back of Lu Yu and Houyi leaving together, Zhu Bajie moaned sullenly.

but
Brother Hou Yi's eyes seemed to be making a decision.

Is that also the order he received before?

The top of the Tower of the Sun towered into the clouds, shrouded in endless cold air and white snow and ice.

At the top of the tower, you can have a panoramic view of the white ice land below, just like being in the world of white wasteland.

"Do you know that this place used to be an endless oasis with countless lives and ethnic groups. At that time, there were no deserts, no ice and snow, let alone the barrenness and desolation of today."

Hou Yi pointed at the world of ice and snow outside the Tower of the Sun, and his indifferent tone contained no trace of emotion.

"In the past, this place was the most energy-rich place in the entire Continent of Kings. However, since the gods built ten towers of the sun here to absorb the energy between the heavens and the earth, this place has been completely reduced to a wasteland."

That was before Hou Yi became a priest, he was just an ordinary sharpshooter.

He witnessed with his own eyes that the colorful world turned into a lifeless desert in just a few years, without the glory and vitality it once had.

"At the beginning, the gods wanted to use the power of the Continent of Kings itself to create a new history and civilization, but they interfered with the original civilization and life of this continent."

"Although until later, some gods realized their extremes and asked me to close the remaining nine towers of the sun. However, tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall is tantamount to a drop in the bucket."

Hou Yi's gaze darkened somewhat.

As a priest, he had to obey the orders of the gods.

Although he watched one life after another die before his eyes, he didn't have any way to make decisions about it.

Especially the figure of the girl from the Mo Dao family, crying alone under the moonlight, is still poked in my heart, vividly in my mind.

"Nuwa told me to leave the last tower of the sun, as the last sun, to provide shelter for those who have been slaughtered."

The voice was very flat, as if it was just narrating a very ordinary thing.

"It seems that you, as priests, will also have times when you can't do what you want."

Lu Yu looked at the desolate scenery in the distance, and it was hard to imagine that there was once an oasis full of life.

"That's because...we were all created by the gods, and we are given a 'mission' by the gods."

"And you are fundamentally different from us."

Hou Yi's eyes shifted to Lu Yu again.

"You who are in this world are not created by the gods to perform tasks for the will of the gods. In other words, you are chosen by fate."

The brand new history of the King's Continent was created by the gods in the past with the root of knowledge and the powerful power of the gods.

However, as priests, they are nothing more than the recurrence of past history.

Not only the mission, but even the meaning of why to fight, is endowed by the gods and is preordained.

I am the successor, the successor of the will of the gods, but also for the successors who came from the old world and guarded the order and civilization of the old world.

You can't create a future of your own, and you can't transcend your doomed destiny to write your own brand-new legendary history.

Only Lu Yu does not belong to this world, does not belong to any created history, he is him, he is the successor of his own will.
