System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

"The Clearer at that time: 1611, was extremely slow to recognize and feel the outside world. His reaction was even calmer than that of us lifeless puppets."

"It's almost hard to cause even a ripple."

"He kept shuttling between bronze mirrors, as if he was looking for his own past, or as if... he was tracking down someone."

"Until those bronze mirrors were infected and corroded by the foul air one by one, and completely lost the ability to trace the flow of time."

"He just disappeared."

Following the direction of Yin Shuidu's finger, Xu Zhoujiao shifted her gaze to the bronze mirror that exuded a gloomy aura.

Staring into the mirror that looked like an abyss.

Xu Zhoujiao asked softly:

"And then, where did it go?"

Yinshuidu remained silent on this issue for a long time.

Then, he raised his head again, looked up at the foul air surrounding his head, and slowly uttered a sentence:

"do not know."

"Maybe he's dead."

"When I regained consciousness and went to look for it, all that was left was this bronze mirror that had been corroded by the foul air."

"Nothing else."

Hearing such an ambiguous answer, Xu Zhoujiao felt a little depressed, because this result was obviously not the answer she wanted to find in her heart.

Xu Zhoujiao, who still did not give up, continued to ask Yin Shuidu:

"What happened here back then? Why did the foul air in the Hongmeng furnace become so rampant?"

Facing Xu Zhoujiao's continuous questioning, Yin Shuidu always maintained his original posture.

Until, he suddenly asked Xuzhou Jiao: "Xuzhou Jiao, do you really want to know what happened in this Hongmeng furnace?"

Immediately afterwards, Yin Shuidu withdrew his gaze.

Then, he looked at Xuzhou Jiao's clear eyes with a smile. There was a hint of seriousness and bitterness in his joking tone.

"Don't forget, your main mission here is to clear everything here..."

Yin Shuidu said this while pointing everything around her with his fingers.

"See? These, these, and these...are all the targets you will attack later."

"Aren't you afraid that the more you know, the more likely you will be soft-hearted?"

During the conversation, Yin Shuidu had been staring deeply into Xu Zhoujiao's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her eyes and see into her true thoughts deep in her heart.

Xu Zhoujiao slowly turned her eyes, taking in everything around her.

After a moment, Xu Zhoujiao met Yin Shuidu's gaze and asked him back, "Yin Shuidu, do you know what the City God is?"

After Yin Shuidu was stunned for a moment, he laughed out loud at Xu Zhoujiao.

But this time the laughter was full of disdain and sarcasm.

"Hahahahaha."

"Xuzhou Jiao, do you know what you are talking about?"

Yin Shuidu spread his hands and shouted at her: "This is the abyss of desire! This is a place that cannot be tolerated by the entire Three Realms! This is a place that all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens are determined to flatten!"

"It's not the trick you played in the lower world to save the world and the people."

"Your compassion and pity can't save even an inch of land here, nor can it save... even a single seed in the pool of desire!"

"This place is destined to be completely wiped out."

As Yin Shuidu's voice became increasingly lower.

Xuzhou Jiao's clear voice was like a sudden lightning, awakening the originally dead abyss of desire.

"Since you think I can't be saved, why did you go to all the trouble to bring me here?"

"The reason why you didn't fight me in the mansion was because you wanted to show me what the real abyss of desire looks like, right?"

“Now, I am here.”

"To say it or not, the choice is yours."

"Or, you can do as the fable says. After I fail, seal me here."

"It's your turn to get out..."

Facing Xu Zhoujiao's sonorous and powerful words, Yin Shuidu could not help but fall into a long and solemn silence.

He lowered his head.

It seems that deep down inside, he is experiencing a fierce struggle.

Just when Yin Shuidu was hesitating.

Above the two people's heads, there was a deafening roar without any warning from the cloud-like turbid air. It was like a huge bronze mirror being knocked to the ground, making a crackling sound.

Hear a sudden noise.

Xu Zhoujiao's already tense heart suddenly tightened.

An ominous premonition suddenly arose in my mind.

However, before she had time to think about it.

The second sound...

The third sound...

A continuous sound of shattering, like bursts of thunder, continued to come from above Xu Zhoujiao's head.

Amidst this earth-shaking sound.

Yin Shuidu re-examined Xu Zhoujiao, the girl in front of him who seemed casual and carefree, yet tolerant of everything.

There was an unprecedented determination and resolve in his eyes, like the last candlelight in the darkness.

Although weak, it is tenacious.

He raised his slime-covered arm again, and uttered an obscure spell.

At the same time, there was a bronze mirror standing quietly on the other side.

At Yinshuidu's call, he came rushing over like an arrow.

The huge and heavy mirror body, like a ferocious beast, mercilessly swallowed up Yin Shuidu's entire arm.

The moment Xu Zhoujiao turned her head.

Most of Yin Shuidu's body was completely soaked in the foul-smelling mucus. The sticky liquid flowed down his body and dripped onto the ice.

It makes a "tick-tick" sound.

In an instant, the solid and cold ice under his feet melted away completely.

at this time.

The puppets trapped by the ice began to struggle, trying to break free from their respective restraints.

Swimming towards Yinshui Ferry.

The moment they just emerged from the water.

All the puppets simultaneously focused their gazes on Xu Zhoujiao, with a barely perceptible glimpse of expectation and relief in their eyes.

Then, they followed Yin Shuidu's arm and rushed into the huge bronze mirror one after another.

At this moment, Xu Zhoujiao had already noticed something.

He shouted at the puppets that were like moths to a flame, "No one is allowed to go in!"

"Stop, everyone stop!"

However, the puppets seemed not to have heard her shouting at the top of her lungs. They continued to rush towards the bronze mirror without hesitation.

Just when Xu Zhoujiao summoned the divine whip and tried to stop all this.

Yin Shuidu stopped her.

"do not come."

These four simple words were like a spell that froze the impulsive Xu Zhoujiao in place.

I only heard Yin Shuidu slowly say:

"Don't come here."

"This is our puppet, a willing sacrifice."

"Only in this way can we temporarily maintain the chaotic flow of time caused by the shattered bronze mirror."

"To gain more time and opportunities for you... and all beings in the three realms."

From beginning to end.

Yin Shuidu's tone was so calm that it made people feel scared. It seemed that the scene before his eyes was a consensus that he and the puppets had already reached.

I watched those exquisite dolls gradually sink into the bronze mirror. Until the moment before they disappeared into the darkness, they were still smiling brightly at me.

For a moment, tears welled up in Xu Zhoujiao's eyes.

Her heart felt like it was being grabbed by an invisible hand, and it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

She kept shaking her head at them, muttering to herself:

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

“You should…”

“There is nothing that should be done and nothing that should not be done.”

Just as Xu Zhoujiao's tears were about to fall, Yin Shuidu interrupted her words.

"Xuzhou Jiao, in fact, from the moment you stepped into the Mirror Flower Water Moon, we knew this would be the ending."

"During this long period of time, we have been bound to the turbid air for too long, and have long been tainted with all kinds of private affairs and greed."

"Actually, what the gods said is right! We are indeed not fit to... continue to survive."

"As for what's said on the other side of the fable, the puppets have long since stopped taking it seriously."

"So, Xuzhou Jiao..."

"They are really waiting for you. They are always waiting for you."

"After all, they also want to see how cool and comfortable the young man chosen by the fable is."

"What kind of... great love."

At this point, Yin Shuidu suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and laughed at himself:

"I am the only one who is stubborn!"

"I always feel that it is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. Since the fable has given another interpretation, why can't we try to make it happen?"

"So, I took advantage of that idiot Mei Yan."

"Trying to make you lose yourself in your own fantasy and stay here willingly."

"But when you repeatedly asked me about the whereabouts of the Clearer: 1611, it suddenly dawned on me that you were the child it had raised."

“It was only then that I realized how wrong I was.”

"After that, I brought you into the abyss of desire."

"Sure enough, you really are a good person just like the fable says, a good person who can tolerate those seeds of desire."

As he spoke, Yin Shuidu stared at Xu Zhoujiao's face and asked softly:

"Xuzhou Jiao, can you tell me now what the City God is?"

Looking at Yinshuidu's face that was about to be swallowed.

Xu Zhoujiao wiped the tears from her cheeks, placed her hand on her forehead, and muttered:

"The City God of Kyoto --- Xuzhou Jiao, reveals his true form."

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, pure white snowflakes rose from the frozen lake surface, dancing lightly in the air as the breeze blew.

They gathered towards Xuzhou Jiao.

In an instant, countless snowflakes wrapped up Xuzhou Jiao like a huge snowball.

Just when Yin Shuidu and the remaining puppets were shocked.

All I heard was a loud bang.

The huge snowball exploded instantly, and the flying snowflakes were like a gorgeous fireworks show.

After all the snowflakes have settled.

The City God of Kyoto, who was walking sideways in the three realms, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

At this moment, Xu Zhoujiao was wearing a golden dragon costume with flowing red gold lines. The golden lines shone brightly under the cold light, and every dragon scale was clearly visible.

On her head, she wore a golden dragon crown also woven from gold threads, with the dragon head held high, looking lifelike.

The dragon's whiskers trembled slightly, like willow branches swaying in the wind.

In the surprised eyes of everyone.

The majestic and inviolable City God slowly spoke:

"The so-called City God:"

"It means to understand the suffering of the people and uphold the bottom line of fairness. To accommodate all living beings in the world and spread the spirit of justice to the world."

"In the eyes of the City God, there is no distinction between high and low, noble and humble, like and dislike."

"All living beings are treated equally!"

Xu Zhoujiao's voice was like a surging torrent, carrying endless power, echoing in every corner of the abyss of desire.

At the same time, it also illuminates the heart of each doll.

Even the colorful seeds wandering in the pool of desire were infected by her words.

The young buds swayed their heads and sank to the bottom of the pond, wanting to see what the woman who was willing to tolerate them looked like.

In Xuzhou's coquettish and powerful words.

Yin Shuidu, who had been unable to come back to his senses, kept repeating to himself over and over again: There is no distinction between high and low, noble and humble, and no distinction between likes and dislikes.

Until that moment when those obsessions that linger in the heart, difficult to give up and let go, slowly fade away.

Only then did he realize what the opposite side of the fable meant.

It turns out that the so-called:

Hold all your desires.

It does not mean being trapped in the abyss of desire forever. It means having a heart that is willing to embrace everything.

And the so-called: in exchange for the doll's new life.

It means that these puppets, after letting go of their obsessions and concerns, have found a new home.

Just at the moment when Yin Shuidu finally had enlightenment.

The bronze mirror that originally emitted a fishy smell suddenly reflected a faint fluorescence. It changed from its previous inky black appearance to gradually revealing its original bronze color.

Even the disgusting and smelly mucus was transformed into extremely brilliant divine light.

These divine lights were like light ribbons, wrapping around Yin Shuidu's body, enveloping him in a layer of mysterious and soft glow.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhoujiao immediately realized that

What is the failure that the fable is talking about?

It turned out that it meant that she had not fulfilled the agreement with Patriarch Hongjun.

Xu Zhoujiao looked at Yin Shuidu and the puppets who had been reborn in front of her, and a satisfied smile slowly rose at the corner of her mouth.

Let’s go! Let’s go!

As long as everyone has a good ending, isn't that enough?

As the puppets continued to sacrifice themselves, only Xu Jiaojiao and Hu Changqing were left guarding the lake.

Hu Changqing looked at Yinshui Ferry which was about to disappear from his sight. Without thinking, he grabbed his hand and jumped directly in.

Only Xu Jiaojiao looked at the majestic and noble Lord of the City with a hint of timidity and fear in her eyes. She held her skirt tightly with both hands, and the corners of her mouth moved for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Just at this time.

Xu Zhoujiao walked straight towards the doll that looked exactly like her.

He held her in his arms.

Xu Jiaojiao hugged her goddess tightly and whispered in her ear: "Goddess, I really like the name Jiaojiao, and I also like Goddess."

After saying that, she gently withdrew from Xu Zhoujiao's arms.

He grabbed Yin Shuidu's fingertips and jumped into the bronze mirror.

At the moment she was swallowed by the bronze mirror, she finally heard the response she had been longing for: "Lady Goddess, you like Jiaojiao too!"

immediately.

A final smile appeared on Xu Jiaojiao's lips.

See, she knows that the goddess has the softest heart...

At this moment, a slight breeze blew.

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the only bronze mirror left in front of her, hugged the little rabbit tightly in her arms, and let Yin Shuidu's last words echo in her ears.

"Xuzhou Jiao, the turbid air in the Hongmeng furnace spreads so quickly because over the years, too many immortal cultivators and people with special abilities have used their ability to travel across domains to come here again and again."

"Their desires and greed affect the incubation and reproduction of turbid energy."

"In addition, the three thousand worlds are constantly breeding fantasies and seeking various shortcuts, which has resulted in the turbid air having enough food and nutrients."

“Ultimately, this led to the current situation.”

"Xuzhou Jiao, when we open all the bronze mirrors for you, it will be your only chance to enter that ball of turbid air."

"The rest of the way is up to you."

"If so, Clearer: 1611 is still alive..."

"Remember to tell him for me: the puppets' illusions are all acted out."

"As for what it said, how can one protect a person..."

"He needs to learn it himself!"
