Black ships sail on the sea of ​​nothingness.

Go upstream and step into the place where you cannot look up.

This is the top of the tree, a place where nothing can reach or look up.

And on a branch at the top of the tree, there is nothing special here. If I have to say it, it is that everything can be seen at a glance.

Here, you can see everything under the trees, the world above the trees, and everything in the sea.

At the top where no one can get close, there is a stone table, four stone benches, a pot of hot tea on the stone table, and the teacup corresponding to the stone bench.

If you can be present, if you can get close, you will find that there are different lines of words written in three positions on the three corners of the stone table.

Here, it's quiet and plain, and time doesn't seem to flow.

I don't know how much time has passed since I stepped forward. His figure is still stooped, and his appearance seems to have already entered his sixties.

But wherever he passed, time stopped, the space trembled, and wherever he looked, the world trembled.

Forerunner 003, the winner of the divine war, is a creature that can be called a god in this world.

But in fact, he hates God, hates every god, and even hates the world where gods were born.

But now, He is alone, and this place is as desolate and lonely as He is.

Everything here is waiting, waiting for the past to reappear, waiting for the tea cup to be filled with tea, waiting for the four people to sit and drink together.

But since that day, they have never been here again.

The stone table with their past engraved on it now seems to have become a simple tombstone, burying their past.

The old palm passed over the stone table, swept away the non-existent dust on the stone table, and stared at the handwriting that was already covered with traces of time.

There is a past that he longs for but has long since shattered. If he hadn't sensed their arrival, he might never have set foot here.

Gently, like an ordinary old man, He sat on the stone bench and poured tea into the four teacups on the table.

The tea is clear and sparkles like crystal.

He picked up the tea cup and looked in the direction of the only stone bench that was not engraved with words.

He was a little lost. Is there anything else in this world that could make him lose his mind? Perhaps, it was only the people he had followed.

Unknowingly, his eyes seemed to see the past, crossing the boundaries of time and seeing the distant past.

He seemed to see everything that day, saw "Him" sitting there, and saw "Him" looking at him.

Right here, at that time, He was still the most ignorant little boy.

He still clearly remembered that it was the first time "He" laughed and the first time he had a long conversation with them.

He still remembers every word "He" said that day.

"At this time... we should leave a souvenir."

"let me see……"

"This position is for the mature little boss."

"This position is for the sensible little boy."

"This position is for the naive little third child."

"He" used that sword to carve the marks of the three people on the stone table. Now think about it, why don't they have names? Maybe they, including "He", never had real names.

But now looking at the worn handwriting on the stone table, He could easily repair it all, but He didn't.

Because He knows that even time will surrender to Him, but the disappeared past has long become a thing of the past.

"Why don't you also engrave words on your place?" He also curiously asked "Him" such questions.

But "He" just shook his head.

He didn't know what it meant then, and now, it doesn't matter anymore.

Everything is over.

........................

The giant ship broke through everything and successfully landed in a position they should not have been able to set foot on.

Kevin put away the bell and stood there with his arms crossed.

He had no intention of getting off the ship, and of course, he didn't leave.

"Oops~! Here we are."

The old man stretched and walked past Kevin.

Seeing Kevin's cold gaze, he smiled and spoke.

"I don't know if I can come back this time. If you have any questions, just ask them now. Maybe there is something I can tell you."

"……………………"

Kevin spoke in a deep voice after a long silence.

"The forerunners of this generation, 001 and 002, have demonstrated the corresponding abilities of the forerunners. So, what about 003?"

There was no emotion in Kevin's voice, as if he was just responding to a casual question.

But this question is very sharp.

Compared with the other two, 003 not only knows very little about the Forerunners, but also has not shown any abilities belonging to the Forerunners. This is why.

Kevin has put the problem out there.

Among the three current forerunners, Xiao Tianqi is the one who uses the forerunner ability best, followed by Xilin. Although they have only shown a little bit, they do have that kind of power.

So, what about Youlandel?

"You should already have an answer to this question. You are not asking, but seeking whether it is correct or not."

The middle-aged man came to Kevin.

Kevin nodded.

"There is no doubt that the girl named Youlandel is not a qualified forerunner, at least for Him, that is the case."

"As His chosen forerunner, that girl has no intention of assisting Him, and will even become His enemy."

"But she still became a pioneer."

"why is that?"

Kevin tossed the question back.

"Because He must choose a forerunner." The middle-aged man nodded and said.

"He needs a forerunner, someone to prove to Him what kind of creature human beings are."

"So compared to us, He doesn't care who the new forerunner is, or in other words, when the girl was chosen, she was an abandoned child who might be abandoned by Him."

The old driver nodded, took over the middle-aged man's words and continued to explain.

"Unlike us, He has not experienced human beings and has not been integrated into human beings. Even if he can see it, he still needs an answer."

"Choosing a forerunner and defining the existence of the entire human concept through her is the answer He wants."

With this explanation, Kevin no longer wonders why Hollandel does not have any power, because this forerunner is just a final answer to confirm humanity.

To put it simply, what kind of person Hollander is represents the status of human beings in the heart of the forerunner.

Obviously, the forerunner did not seem to pay attention to Youlandel. Does this prove that Youlandel did not meet expectations?

"But now, this abandoned child who was only used to score points is being watched by the other two forerunners, and they are even willing to put everything on her."

"For this reason, you are even willing to let the forerunner you choose become her stepping stone." Kevin suddenly changed his attitude and pointed the question at the two people in front of him.

The two people in front of them didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"But she has no power."

"No." The middle-aged man shook his head.

"The first step in choosing a Forerunner is to give her the corresponding power."

"The reason she didn't have it was that it was taken away from her at the time of choice."

"But this is not forever. The power will always exist with her as its main body, so just help her get back the key she used."

"……………………"

Kevin summarized the information in his mind.

"You want to help her get the key back?"

The middle-aged man shook his head.

"No, that's not what we're going to do, that's already been done by two other guys."

"I believe it is not impossible for the two most dangerous guys among humans to join forces and cause him some trouble."
