After breaking up, I picked up a beautiful vampire girl

"I remember this thing was given to Lingsheng by Xia Luer."

Li Muhan picked up the branch that was emitting golden light as he spoke.

"I've seen this before. This is the branch of the World Tree. I don't know where your sister got it from, but why is it so bright now?"

Xia Yue had already taken out her cell phone and called her sister, then she winked at Li Muhan and whispered, "Go contact Mengmeng and find out what they are doing now."

Li Muhan walked into the living room to get his cell phone and dumped the plate of octopus into the trash can.

But no matter how many times he called, no one answered.

Li Muhan frowned.

Although the heart of the world in the body is asleep, it now seems to resonate with some things.

It seems like something is about to happen.

"Xia Luer said that she plucked a branch and preserved it when the World Tree was still intact. She thought that Ling Sheng's body had also inherited the Heart of the World, so she gave it to him. Have you contacted Meng Meng?"

Li Muhan shook his head.

Then he took the branch from Xia Yue and looked at it carefully.

"This branch is reacting to something now, but this reaction obviously doesn't come from me, so it can only be..."

"Lingsheng." Xia Yue gave the answer.

Li Muhan held the branch and gently felt the breath inside. Under the light, there was incomparable chaos and pain.

And the owner of this emotion is his own son Li Lingsheng.

[…What should I do? I shouldn’t interfere with their wishes, but I…don’t want to just watch Sister Mengmeng die.]

A voice suddenly came into Li Muhan's brain.

Then a feeling of dizziness came into his brain.

"...Xia Yue, hold on to me, this thing... is Ling Sheng asking for help. He wants to take me somewhere. I'll turn on the shared wifi for you... You, you come with me."

"kindness."

Xia Yue suddenly hugged Li Muhan.

Then the golden light of the branch gradually enveloped the two of them, and the next second, they both disappeared from the spot.

Just at this moment, in the trash can where no one could see.

A small "octopus" that was burned red slowly crawled out.

...

...

boom--

The tremendous force drove the thick branches, knocking Xia Lingyue away again and again.

But the girl seemed to be unaware of the pain and fatigue.

Even though he was covered in wounds, he still tried his best to rush forward.

[Sending you back, this is her last wish]

The silver-haired woman looked down at Xia Lingyue and Li Lingsheng expressionlessly.

[This is not the place for you to stay, children, go back, we will not hurt you]

"You guys! Bullshit! This body is not yours! These powers! These memories! They are not yours! This belongs to Sister Mengmeng! It's none of your business!!"

[She is the hope of our people. She should have brought endless strength and nourishment to our people, but she failed all of us. Now everything she has experienced in this world, including herself, will allow our people to be reborn on her behalf.]

[This is her destiny, and also her choice]

"My dad said that! People don't have so many choices! The so-called choice! It's nothing more than forcing people to make a bad decision within some rules and regulations! Or another worse decision! You didn't give her any choice!!"

Xia Lingyue wiped the blood from her forehead and yelled, "You monsters! You are not her family!! You are blackmailing her morally!"

[She took away all our strength to do good deeds and weave beautiful dreams, but she made us suffer torture and pain. Child, do you think this is right? ]

【Do you know the torture we have suffered in these endless years? 】

[Behind every beautiful dream she weaves, our bodies and our strength will be exhausted and decayed. Do you think that kind of despair, that kind of days that will never end, is this what we should endure? ]

"I...I didn't mean that, I..."

You keep saying we are monsters.

[You righteously want to bring your friend back]

You trampled everything under your feet

How high up you are

How arrogant!

[Children with the blood of the conquerors in their bones will only step on others' heads and speak high-sounding words]

You are not qualified

Judge Us

“…Aaaaah!! Idiot! I can’t convince them!! What should I do?!”

Xia Lingyue was going crazy.

Now he can’t beat him, and he can’t talk him out of it! This idiot just stood there in a daze.

Sometimes he is calm, sometimes he looks very painful.

Could it be that my brother is really stupid?!

"No...you are wrong about one thing."

Li Lingsheng finally spoke.

[......Sir, are you also going to deny our existence? ]

[We are so humble, we only want to survive, do you also want to destroy our race? ]

What makes Xia Lingyue curious is.

This thing was surprisingly respectful to Li Lingsheng.

"No, I didn't...I didn't want to deny you, I was just pointing out a mistake you made."

Li Lingsheng scratched his head and said.

"You said Sister Mengmeng took everything from you to do charity, but that's not the starting point of everything."

"The starting point of everything...isn't it because you forced her to go into the world and spread suffering, pollute the World Tree, let the nightmare reach into the heart of the world, and create nutrients for yourself?"

"......If you look at it from this point of view, Sister Mengmeng was unwilling to do such a bad thing. The mistake she made was not as serious as you said."

[Forget your people! Forget your mission! This is sin! ]

"But isn't your so-called mission to hurt others so that you can survive?"

[My Lord... You are high above us, you created everything. We just need to drill a small hole in your trunk... absorb a little bit of your power... and we can survive.]

Li Lingsheng shook her head.

"No, you are wrong. This has nothing to do with me, but with the countless creatures under the protection of the World Tree. The hole you made will eventually cause all the creatures to be shrouded in nightmares. Indeed, the World Tree will not dry up because of this small problem... but it will cause countless creatures to suffer."

"The way you look at things... is wrong. If we must find a problem, it is that there is a big problem with your clan's original existence or continuation."

Xia Lingyue looked at Li Lingsheng with her mouth wide open.

"......Idiot, what's wrong with you? You sound like that bald political teacher..."

[So...Sir, are you going to stop us? ]

The silver-haired girl tilted her head slightly and looked at Li Lingsheng.

Those arms no longer seemed to be in awe of Li Lingsheng.

[If you insist on preventing our race from being reborn, then we don't mind... before you have grown into a flourishing person, we will make you a complete vessel for our race.]

Li Lingsheng kept silent.

He was merely pointing out the loopholes in the nightmare's words.

We can't put all the blame on Meng Meng, but do we really want to stop it...

What on earth is that voice that I still haven't heard clearly?

Snapped--

At this moment.

A slap landed hard on the back of Li Lingsheng's head.

"What are you struggling with, Lingsheng?"

Li Muhan's voice came from behind.

"......dad?"

"Lao Li, and...Mommy!!"

Xia Lingyue cried and rushed to Xia Yue.

Looking at Xia Lingyue, she was in a mess with blood all over her head.

Xia Yue's pupils began to slowly shrink, and then the hand that was stroking Xia Lingyue's face also trembled.

"...Can we tear this thing apart?" Xia Yue turned and looked at Li Muhan and asked.

"It should be possible." Li Muhan also twisted his neck. It had been a long time since he last took action.

But just when the two were about to take action.

One hand slowly rose.

Stopped the two of them.

Li Lingsheng's voice was a little low and hoarse.

"Dad, Mom...can't ruin it."

"What's going on?" Li Muhan asked.

"...Inside its body is everything that Sister Mengmeng has. Its existence is Sister Mengmeng's wish, so...we, we can't destroy it."

[…Please leave.]

【We will not do evil...】

【We will stay here quietly, or go to another world】

[…Please, let us go.]

Countless voices lingered in everyone's ears.

Li Muhan frowned.

"Mengmeng...she has already..." Xia Yue was also a little stunned at this moment.

"No." Li Lingsheng shook her head.

"I couldn't hear what that sound was, but Dad... after you came, I think I can hear it clearly."

Li Lingsheng smiled. His smile was so gentle and calm.

This was an expression that Li Muhan and Xia Yue had never seen on this shy child's face.

"Idiot...what's wrong with you?" Xia Lingyue also felt that something was wrong with her brother.

But Li Lingsheng shook his head, then raised his hand, and the jade branch appeared in his hand.

"The heart of the world in the past, the heart of the world in the present, and the heart of the world in the future are all here now."

"Her existence has been digested, but some remnants still remain."

Li Lingsheng put one hand behind her back and gently shook the branch with the other hand.

"Back then, under the World Tree, I gave her some pointers. I think we have a connection, so I left a shadow of her in my tree trunk."

"Then you rescued her and brought her back to the right path. This redemption made her voluntarily leave her aura on your branches and leaves."

"Now... all her reluctance and despair have been heard by this child. This is your son. He is a good boy. He heard everything but he didn't understand. Young people always need some help."

"The past, present, and possible future of this nightmare demon are all left in the Heart of the World of the Past, the Heart of the World of the Present, and the Heart of the World of the Future. She has not perished. Now all three Hearts of the World are here. We can return these things to her."

Everyone saw it.

Li Lingsheng at this moment...is not Li Lingsheng.

Li Muhan immediately drew out his sword, Fu Jiang Zhen Mo, and pointed the blade at Li Lingsheng.

"It's you... Weren't you swallowed by the End... by Moriarty?"

Li Lingsheng turned back slightly, looked at Li Muhan and said with a smile: "The Heart of the World is not a specific existence. My plan failed. The child was more rebellious than I thought. Thank you for saving her life. You protected this world in your own way."

He bowed slightly towards Li Muhan.

"Thank you... As my successor, you are qualified to be the Heart of the World. In the future so far away that even we cannot see it, this small branch will surely grow into a towering tree and take over everything from us."

"So now, let me do something in return for your kindness."

After Li Lingsheng finished speaking, he held the branch and walked towards the silver-haired girl.

The girl stared at Li Lingsheng intently, without any emotion in her eyes.

But those arms began to approach the boy tentatively little by little.

[.......Are you unwilling to let us go? ]

"Silly roe deer." Li Lingsheng smiled and looked up at the girl and said.

"After all these years, you are still so unspiritual."
