Prehistoric Calendar

Chapter 1140,, Choice
"I'm not the only one who succeeded?"

Mr. Xu stood up from the ground rubbing his temples, and then looked around. He saw a wasteland, and there were a few small-scale forests nearby. Mr. Xu immediately chose the resurrection point setting, and he set it up successfully. Resurrection point.

This is something Mr. Xu knew before he entered. The reason is that the dog and the other footmen have never returned to the resurrection point. Every time the other footmen enter, they will die and resurrect soon. The dog and the other foot men have never appeared, and it is impossible for them to have their resurrection times zero. Mr. Xu knows this best. As the president of the Blue Star Guild, he clearly remembers the resurrection times of all the members of the guild. They must have survived in the sea of ​​Haotian's mind, and all this was not confirmed until a certain foot man broke free from the nightmare.

Mr. Xu was the CEO and chairman of a large multinational company before he became a footman. If the parts factories in various developing countries are included in his staff, even if there are tens of thousands of people working for him, he certainly cannot The employees all remember, but he basically remembers all the core personnel related to the company's structure, even including hundreds of lower-level managers, which is already amazing.

After the big transfer, although the footmen have no system, no experience, no shielding, etc., but their personal characteristics have begun to become stronger, such as Yang Lie's sniper characteristic, such as Zhou Bin's non-Baiouyi Wait, but Mr. Xu's personal characteristics were not obvious before the big transfer, which made him think that he had no characteristics. After the big transfer, he gradually figured out his own characteristics. He named this characteristic Han Xin orders troops.

It's not that this characteristic can make him a kind of existence like a military god, but that this characteristic needs to be more obvious when there are more people under him.

As long as Mr. Xu has enough subordinates, he can trigger this feature. The effect of this feature is to allow him to instinctively handle various things about his subordinates, from the information memory of his subordinates, to logistics arrangements, to personnel arrangements, From dealing with miscellaneous matters, etc., everything can be managed smoothly, and there will be almost no mistakes. Although it does not involve the battlefield, this ability has already made Mr. Xu a master of the logistics system. Thanks to this ability, It was a feature that allowed him to establish the Blue Star Guild and grow stronger in an environment like the Human City.

But now Mr. Xu especially wants a combat characteristic, even if it is just an ordinary combat characteristic, it can greatly increase the success rate of his trip. The chance of breaking free from the nightmare deep in Hao's heart is too low. A hundred legged men can't enter successfully once. This is because by accident, a legged man died and resurrected and told everyone that after entering the depths of his heart, what he saw was actually a nightmare. Only when he broke free from the nightmare can he Entering a scene, he entered a scene of a sacred battlefield. In that scene, besides Hao and Ziya, he also saw the great lord, and the enemies were void demons, elves, and others. Saints of all races, this scene is obviously the one-ninth battle of the great lord at Hao's summoning place.

Only then did everyone know what they experienced after entering the mythical form, and they also guessed that Dayu and the others probably got rid of the nightmare, and why they did not resurrect and return, the biggest possibility is that Dayu set the resurrection point In the scene, although the answer is extremely unbelievable, after all, it is just a memory or thought in the mind, not the real world at all, but apart from this possibility, everyone can't think of any other possibility.

So everyone discussed it and made a decision. As long as they can break free from the nightmare, the resurrection point will be set in the scene as soon as possible. As for later...

Can I come back alive again...

This is no longer in their consideration, just like what Yang Lie said.

"I want to go home, and the only person who knows the way home is here... Die, at least die on the way home, that's enough."

Mr. Xu thought so too...

After the resurrection point was successfully set, Mr. Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and then he saw a crowd gathered in a forest in the distance. Mr. Xu didn't hesitate, and directly rushed towards the group of people with big strides In the past, his speed was extremely fast, the distance between steps was tens of meters, and he ran to the edge of the woods in just two or three minutes.

This is Mr. Xu's extraordinaryness. He, Yang Lie, a dog, and several other companions are extremely rare among legged men. They were the rewards for completing the epic mission back then, and Mr. Xu's extraordinaryness is With the combination of extraordinary speed, extraordinary physique, and extraordinary strength, he quickly came to the forest at this moment.

When he came to the woods, Mr. Xu was shocked at the first glance. He actually saw Ai Yi. Yes, he was [-]% sure that this person was definitely Ai Yi. Besides Ai Yi, he also After seeing Hao, he also saw some elf NPCs he was familiar with. It is said that they were the backbones who first followed Hao to found the human city. However, when the fog fell before the big transfer, they probably all rebelled...

Then Mr. Xu continued to look in the depths, and saw a Wanzu who seemed to be Yalong. He was lying on the ground with serious injuries, and in front of him was Hao, and there was another human besides Hao. , Mr. Xu doesn't know this human being, but this human body is covered with a thick layer of white light, which is in stark contrast with the people around him. Mr. Xu, who is an independent existence, naturally looks at this man immediately.

"Is there really a human city?" the human asked.

In front of this light-covered human being is Hao. With tears in his eyes, Hao said, "Yes, Mu, there really are human cities!"

The human being laughed cheerfully and said, "Order, Hao."

"M... die here!"

The human turned around and left after hearing the words. He said as he walked, "Hao, go to the human city, you must go to the human city!"

Mr. Xu had seen all of this, and then he planned to talk to Hao, but before he could act, a flash flashed in front of his eyes. When he came back to his senses, he had already appeared at the resurrection point. It's like moving, but he really died, because of inexplicable reasons, he died and was resurrected here.

"Decipher it?" Mr. Xu murmured secretly, then he rushed towards the forest, and saw what happened just now, and then he tried to talk to Hao, to the human covered in light, and Talking to other humans, talking to elves, and even talking to that Argonian, but it was all useless. No matter what he did, he couldn't change the result. It's all over again.

However, it is not without changes. After Mr. Xu died more than 30 times, he found that Hao's answer had changed. From the initial "Yes, Mm, there really are human cities!" to "Really There is a city of humans..." After a few words, Hao's head gradually lowered, as if he did not dare to look at this human named Mu.

Then when Mr. Xu died more than 50 times, Hao had no answer, and the light on Mu's body became very dim, as if it would go out at any time.

Not only that, Mr. Xu also found that the brightness of the whole world is changing, it begins to become dark and gloomy, and everything around it begins to become unreal, not an adjective, but an exact real display, whether it is the earth, weeds or , the trees, or everyone except Hao and Mu, all began to become slightly abstract. It’s okay if you focus on them, but if you look at them dimly from the corner of your eyes, you will see them twisting and deforming constantly. The body, as if their flesh is made of dark unknown matter.

And Hao's answer has also changed, no, it's not changed, but gone, Hao just stood there with his head bowed, and didn't have any other words except saying that he died here.

Such a change is not good in any way. Although Mr. Xu didn't know what would happen, he instinctively started to stop all this, to prevent the man named Mu from turning around, and to prevent Hao from saying the words of dying here. Whether it's attacking, pulling, or blocking, they can't stop all this from happening.

Repeating again and again, dying again and again, dying here again and again, asking whether the human city exists again and again...

Finally, when Mr. Xu died so many times that Mr. Xu couldn’t remember it, and he only vaguely felt that he was about to die, the scene changed completely. Everything around him disappeared. The earth turned into a sea of ​​flames, and all the trees and grass disappeared. Seeing Mu and Hao standing on the edge of the sea of ​​flames, Mu asked Hao if there was a human city, and Hao bowed his head in silence. When Mu turned around, Hao pushed Mu down into the sea of ​​flames from behind...

"No, it's not like that!"

Once again, Mr. Xu came back to life, and the whole world became half a sea of ​​fire and half black in his eyes, and there was nothing else. Hao and Mu faced each other again, but this time Mu turned his back to Hao, He just keeps asking if there is a human city, but Hao's face is expressionless, with blood and tears falling from his eyes, he is no longer Hao, but a dark and twisted horror monster, with countless hands and feet, countless faces, and countless organs A monster formed, he was about to reach out and push Mu into the flames.

"not like this!"

Mr. Xu roared loudly again, he rushed directly in front of Hao, put his body between Hao and Mu, and at the same time he shouted loudly: "It's not like this, Hao, it's not like this!!"

"You didn't kill Mu!!"

On the other side, Yang Lie also entered Hao's mind, and he was the only one who escaped from the nightmare, and the scene he saw was on the border of the elves. He didn't see the adult Hao, but instead From the conversations of the few primitive humans, we know that the little boy who left with the elves is Hao, Hao in his childhood, and those primitive humans are his people.

"God, I've made a decision. You will take the place in our tribe. You will go to the elves, and they will protect you. Live well, Hao?"

"What about you, grandpa? And my mother?"

"We will continue to advance along the border of the elves. I heard that there is a city full of human beings in that far away place. Go there, you are too young, we can't take you, so you have to stay here, understand?"

"Well, I see, grandpa, mom... I will come to Human City to take care of you when I grow up and have the strength to hunt by myself."

"...You can't be called Tian anymore, you are the Tian of the beasts of the Japanese tribe... From today onwards, you are called Hao, you must live well and live desperately, okay?"

Yang Lie watched the young Hao bid farewell to the clansmen, and then he followed the elves. Every time Hao left, Yang Lie would immediately die and start again, and everything he did to stop it was useless. Resurrected, and the surrounding scene became more and more dark and gloomy. Finally, he died countless times, and the scene has completely changed. In a sea of ​​blood and bones, the young Hao listened to the words of the clansmen, and then he fell on the side of the clansmen. He devoured the corpses of his clansmen and survived with their blood and flesh...

"No, it's not like that!"

After dying again and again, Yang Lie saw such a scene after he was resurrected. He opened his hands to block the face of Hao, who was already distorted and hideous. This is no longer Hao, but a dark and twisted terrifying monster. Devour the bones of the people of the tribe to keep yourself alive...

"The death of your people is not because of you!!!"

Then there was the dog, the nine of them died countless times, and then the scene of the human city in their eyes became more and more gloomy and terrifying, and all the ten thousand races turned into terrifying monsters, and the whole city It is completely distorted and abstract, only Ai in the sky is still covered with a layer of light, which is still the same image, and Hao and Ai are facing each other, but Hao is no longer human, and has completely turned into a dark and distorted monster. Human feet, countless faces and mouths, and countless terrifying organs made up this pitch-black monster, and Ai still looked at it with a smile.

"I love you the most."

This monster was about to swallow Ai Yi in one gulp, and Zhou Bin drove the strongman mecha, carrying the other eight footmen, and rushed towards the place between the terrifying monster and Ai Yi.

This is the third time that Zhou Bin has possessed the Ouhuang. The first time the Ouhuang was used on Jun's operating table. The emperor's possession is probably the last time. Zhou Bin, who died 150 times before and after, is estimated to have only single digits in the number of resurrections left, maybe even only once or twice...

"It's not like this!" Said the dog and all the footmen roared loudly with red eyes.

They can see the changes in the whole scene. From the beginning of the human city scene, Ai will spontaneously combust to death every time. Gradually, the scene becomes more and more horrifying and distorted. In the end, there is only spooky horror left, and Hao has turned into a monster. , every time it devoured Ai, and this scene made the foot men feel unbearable.

Hao is in love with Ai Yi. This pair is watched by the legged men. From the time the legged men came to the human city, they watched the human city grow step by step and build a prosperous step by step. As the leaders, Hao Ye and Ai Ian fell in love with each other, they got married, Ai Yi became pregnant, and they stayed together for decades. The love of this pair has always been seen by the legged men, and it has become a model for the legged men to tease and spread dog food.

Although it is a joke, but the foot men really offered their blessings for their marriage and love. This is the most beautiful thing, and this beauty has warmed the hearts of many foot men. They can't be separated from Ai Yi, and they won't be allowed to separate. Even some extreme foot men claim that no matter which one of them changes their minds, they can fight for their accounts and don't want to kill that person, because Hao and Ai Yi has become a beautiful model in their minds.

But now...

"Ai Yi was not killed by you!!"

Zhou Bin's eyes were also red. He pushed the speed of the strongman mech to the limit, and brought the dog with him, and they slammed into the monster transformed by Hao, into the monster's mouth...

Another scene, the great lord and Hao face to face, Hao also turned into a monster, trying to devour the great lord, there is also a man with legs open his hands, with tears in his eyes to block...

In another scene, Zhi and Hao face each other, and Hao has also turned into a monster. To let Zhi die, there is also a foot man standing in front of Zhi.

Mr. Xu, Yang Lie, Yuegou, Zhou Bin, and many other legged men, they saw the changes in their different scenes, they saw Hao's sinking, they saw the ending in the scene, and then they made different choices , all pointing to the same path...

"not like this!"

Then, they all stopped...

Hao came back to his senses, he was holding an invisible object in his hand, but Hao felt that this object was so precious, full of hope, light, brilliance, and even...detachment...

Then Hao saw these scenes, saw the monster he transformed into, and saw those people who were desperately blocking it, Mr. Xu, Yang Lie, the dog, Zhou Bin, all the legged men...

He also saw the patriarch, mother, Mu, the great lord, Ziya, Ai, Zhi...

"It's me who killed you all, it's all my fault, I can't do anything, patriarch grandpa, mother's death is because I want to live, Mu's death is my order, all the hopes and wishes of the great lord It's all empty, the human city that Ziya has pursued for so long is gone, and Aiyi is gone..."

"I can't do anything, I killed all of you..."

Hao shrank his body, hugged his legs with both hands, and buried his head firmly between his knees. There was a black aura spreading from his body...

"So, I'll give you a choice."

A voice suddenly sounded, Hao raised his head subconsciously, and he saw a person. He couldn't see the person's appearance, gender, or even whether the person was tall or thin, short or short. Fat, only knew that there was such a person in front of his eyes.

This person seems to be extremely small, so small that it can be ignored, but also as huge as the entire multi-dimensional, even beyond the multi-dimensional, he sat in front of Hao, and said to Hao again: "I will give you a choice. "

Hearing this man's voice, Hao's mind cleared up a bit, and he immediately asked, "What's wrong with me, and you?"

The man said: "Whether you want to hear a story or not, if you want to, you are qualified to listen to this story. After listening, you can choose."

This is the third time Hao heard the word choice. He suddenly understood something, but he seemed to understand nothing, and this person didn't care whether Hao understood, he said: "In a blank space, a world appeared, The world was empty at the beginning, only cold rules collided with each other, but it was just a collision between rules, cold, mechanical, and finally turned into nothingness. In this sea of ​​blankness, the world appeared, Disappeared, countless worlds appeared and disappeared, like bubbles one by one, and then at some point, there was life in the world. The birth of life gave the world color, and the intelligence of life gave the world capital. As a result, changes occurred in the entire blank sea, and more and more worlds derived from life gradually increased. Intellect endowed life with infinite possibilities, and this infinite possibility was fed back to the world, making the world more and more rules, More and more perfect, the world begins to grow..."

Hao listened to this man's words, inexplicably, he understood one thing in his heart, this is his chance, a unique chance, he has enjoyed all the great blessings that other people can't enjoy, at the moment he dare not think about other things , just listening to the man's words with full attention.

"The world itself does not have life, nor does it have intelligence similar to life. It only has a collective instinct. This instinct is survival, and it is also the first need of all things in this world. Therefore, the world has instinctively changed. This change is the era. born."

"In the beginning, there was no era. A world will run consistently from its formation until it disappears. However, with the emergence of intellectual life, the worlds in the blank sea gradually evolve, and there is an era. The reason is very simple, because Intellectual life is complex, and its mind is uncontrollable. Even I can't exhaust all the changes in the mind of intellectual life. In this infinite mind of infinite intelligence, there are everything bright, great and brilliant, and everything that is dark, distorted and terrifying , Just like Taiji Yin and Yang, where there is light there is darkness, where there is justice there is evil, unless we return to all ignorant chaos, there will be division."

"The intellectual mind makes the world colorful and progressive, and at the same time, its negative darkness has become a destructive force. The world instinctively absorbs the good, but the accumulated dark side is irreversible. , in this case, the choice made by the world is...destruction, after absorbing the good, destroying all the bad ones equally, and thus, the situation of one era and one era appeared, and the world evolved in its body When life reaches the critical point, it will destroy all of them equally, and then open a new chapter, and then draw nourishment from these countless intellects."

The man suddenly said to Hao: "Questions, one, what is life to the world? Two, does the world love life?"

Hao's whole body trembled, he felt as if he had seen some kind of truth, but he couldn't understand it for a while, he thought for a while and said: "Life is to the world, almost like the free energy of heaven and earth is to the extraordinary, and the extraordinary There is an energy cycle in the body. In order to improve, in addition to improving cultivation, you must also absorb the free energy of the world, and there are many impurities in it, so you need to refine it. This is the answer to the first question, and the second question... The world does not love life , but they don’t dislike life, they should be in a form of interdependence, because there is no life without the world, and similarly, the world without life will only be dead.”

The man didn't say whether Hao's answer was correct or not, he continued: "In the beginning, the mind relied on the flesh body, and if the flesh body is eliminated, no matter what your mind is, it is useless. Later, because of the extraordinary or other factors, you can leave the flesh body, but you must There is a foundation of existence, so at the end of the world era, when all the foundations of the soul's existence are wiped out, the soul will be gone, so in the initial stage, the rise and fall of the era will only benefit the world without shortcomings, which makes the world's instinct rejoice , Ever since, the instinct of the world began to adjust the life evolution within it.”

"Let life be more and consume less. Except for the mind, it is best not to have the physical body. Step by step adjustment and optimization, so many weird worldviews have appeared..."

"In the whole world, there is no transcendence, because transcendence requires more rules, more energy, and more essence to form, then everything is ordinary, and immortality, longevity, and longevity are naturally good for life. But once the soul of a life matures, it is almost fixed. The so-called nature is hard to change, so the best life is to grow quickly, give birth more, quickly form the intellectual body, quickly mature the mind, and then die quickly after being fixed. , As for the simpler consumption, the weaker the body, the better, and it doesn’t even need to develop technology and other civilizations, the best thing is that art is prevalent..."

"At that stage, almost all of the world has become like this, so the question comes...to ask, whether this change is good or bad."

Hao's brain was running fast, and he replied while thinking: "It's good for the world, but it's bad for life, because life has no future at all... No, it's also bad for the world!"

The man seemed to be smiling, but Hao couldn't tell whether he was smiling or not. Just having this feeling, the man said: "It is true that with such a change in life, one era can harvest at least five or six eras of accumulation. But after all, the world only has instincts, and life has infinite possibilities, so by chance, some strange lives were born in this kind of world, and they opened up a way in the absence of demons, whether it is technology or Whether it is the mind, the faith, or other strange paths, the pursuit of the evolution and continuation of life, the pursuit of longevity, long life, and eternal life are also the instinct of life, and then the instinct of the world conflicts with it. There is thunder falling, this is not a catastrophe or something, but a complete bombardment and extinction, an extinction that completely wipes out the roots of its existence."

"The world has benefited from this, and has been improving, and finally reached a critical point. The world is about to grow. What has been protecting the world from existing in the blank is a shell. You can imagine it as the skin of a snake. Invasion, but this shell also limits the size of the world, so the world that grows to the critical point opens up this shell, and thus, the world is lacking, unless it can grow out and form another shell, otherwise it will be With an easy way into it..."

"Still the same sentence, the world is not intellectual, but it also has instincts. There are countless worlds in the entire blank sea. When a world grows to a critical point, the shell is broken, and other worlds will instinctively throw their own garbage into it. Among them, of course, this is the earliest stage. At that time, the Blank Sea was still very peaceful, and a world that was thrown into a lot of garbage, because it was at the critical point of growth, and it was impossible to replace the era to eliminate these garbage, so, These worlds have been corroded and distorted by garbage, and thus turned into another horrible existence."

"This is just one of the possibilities, and there are other possibilities, that is, the garbage thrown into the world is just a powerful race that was accidentally born in the world. Deliberately evolved life that only understands reproduction, rapid growth, rapid aging, rapid death, full marks for art, and full marks for intelligence, how can it be possible to fight against a powerful race that has gone out of its own way? The whole world has been invaded and swept away, and these powerful lives are after all The rules of the original world evolved, and their sweep also represented the invasion of the rules of the original world, and this was digested, those worlds that threw out garbage suddenly swallowed up another world that had grown to a critical point, and the world immediately Sublimation growth, even the need for shell rebirth, this immediately let these world instincts know the benefits, they immediately adjusted their era, and began to search for other worlds to devour, almost all of today's too much That era devoured what other worlds formed."

"Once again, the world has only instinct, and this instinct cannot form the intelligence of life, so the confrontation between the world and the world can only be achieved by the life inside it, so the world has adjusted again, and in most Under normal circumstances, the world will only produce mortals and mortal things, without giving supernatural powers, and then when facing the critical point of growth, it will give birth to powerful supernatural beings, such as giving birth to super magic continents, super magic planes, The super-magic world and the like, thus resisting the catastrophe."

"Ask, is the world in debt to life?"

Hao thought carefully again, and he said: "There is still no debt, because there is no life without the world, and we still depend on each other..."

The man seemed to be smiling again, and he suddenly asked: "I'll just ask one more question... Has the world ever asked whether life wants to be born and live?"

Hao opened his mouth, but was speechless. He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The person said: "Continuing with this story, most of the life derived from the world is mortal and mortal, and the concept of eternal life is locked. In fact, there is a change in it. This change is called the light of the soul. This is the first miracle. When the life has the light of the soul, it actually gradually moves from external support to internal support. It does not seek external things and reverses entropy itself , and this light of heart is what the world needs most, and after the life of light of heart dies, this light of heart is absorbed by the world, and everything outside of light of heart, including the darkness that gave birth to light of heart, Everything has been abandoned by the world. This darkness cannot be completely erased even if the era is born and dies. There are still information left. One era, ten eras, and one hundred eras. But you can't, you can't seek the extraordinary, you can't seek evolution, you can't seek transcendence..."

"All resentment goes to the world..."

The man stood up and said in a chant-like tone: "Look, the existence that gave us life gave us pain, gave us an end, gave us despair, and there are no more stairs on it, There is no transcendence above, are we just merits? The existence that gives us life, have you asked us if we want to come to this world? So..."

"Repay our pain to you, give us the existence of life, we have given you all the positive things, then now, we will also give you all the negative things, repay the flesh, repay the bones, even the heart and soul Pay you back!"

Hao felt cold all over his body, as if he saw a distorted multiverse presented in front of his eyes.

The man said to Hao: "You... are the resentment of life accumulated in the hundreds of epochs of your world. You will represent life to take revenge on the multi-dimensional. HuanFather, since you are talking about dependence, shouldn’t the good and the bad be tolerated? Since Diversity has the ability to give the extraordinary, the ability to make life immortal and even immortal, why is it only in the era of sublimation? Why do some people can Longevity and even eternal life, but some people have to die of ordinary old age in hundreds of epochs? Why!? Why!? Only when the strong wind comes, can you know where the strong grass is? Only in the rough world can you know the honest minister? Injustice, injustice, injustice!!! Kill the sky, kill the sky, kill the sky!!!”

Hao only felt that his whole body was stiff, he couldn't speak, he couldn't even imagine, he could even see all the bloody chaos in the world, everything was destroyed.

The man sat down again, and he said to Hao with a smile: "But you are different. I have seen countless worlds, small worlds, big worlds, large worlds, and even bigger and more magnificent worlds. I have seen so many doomsdays. I have lived many life revolutions, but you are the only one who is different... You have accepted this destiny, but you have the ability to understand, your kindness seems to be born with you, you want to reconcile life and the world, but it is a pity, This reconciliation was taken as an opportunity by the instinct-only world, and it killed you millions of times, but you never changed..."

"In this world, I have seen it."

This person said: "It has been covered with layers of curtains, the original path has been twisted and twisted, and you have been arranged and arranged, and no answer has been given to you, although the path you are walking now The future is the best and happiest for you, but I still have to say..."

"It's not fucking fair!"

The man cursed and said cheerfully, "Sorry, I seem to have been influenced by someone, but I decided to give you a chance."

"What kind of future do you want, none of them have asked you, now I give you a chance, you can choose yourself, this is the possibility, the possibility that only detachment can give, and what I give you This possibility surpasses everything, and can cover all possibilities and futures of the world you live in. To put it bluntly, I pity you, Hao, the only thing that I pity for the people of this world. It can be considered as a little effort when you are bored, or it can be said that it is a question of destiny."

"Now, I'll give you a choice."

Suddenly there was a change in front of Hao's eyes, countless roads appeared in front of him, and the most brilliant one went straight to the sky, replacing the sky with life, and then gave birth to his own seeds, and there was also this strange road in his hand. This is the possibility that the Almighty speaks of. With the help of this possibility, he can establish his own Dao foundation, and then step up to the sky, cross over, transcend, and be greater than the multiverse, and gain The real great freedom, great freedom, transcends thinking, non-thinking, non-non-thinking, form, metaphysics, existence, non-existence... above all! ! !
But... everything in front of him, the picture frozen in front of him, the footmen, the patriarch, his mother, Ai Yi, the great lord, Ziya, Zhi, his companions, soldiers of the forbidden area, all relatives, friends, familiar people... …

They'll all be gone, all gone...

"I……"

"choose……"
