Reborn Awakening (GL)

"Okay." She had no other choice.

Jiang Zheng propped up a barrier a little strangely, and protected himself and Chang Sheng within it. He saw the giants draw an incomprehensible circular formation on the ice, and suddenly sang an ancient song in unison. And a mysterious funeral song.

Accompanied by incomprehensible singing, the ice surface gradually cracked, and a halo of light flashed along the crack, enveloping the magic circle.

In the next second, the four of them were holding hands so tightly that they felt nothing under their feet, and a sense of oppression surged toward them like a làngcháo.

Sinking, in the cold sea, there was a force dragging them down continuously, the increasing pressure seemed to completely crush the thin barrier, Jiang Zheng began to feel a little helpless.

She remembered the fear of being shrouded in death in her previous life, the river water poured into her mouth and nose, she couldn't breathe, and gradually suffocated... Despair, the time for that sense of despair to permeate the whole body is far more tormented and longer than the real time, lonely and helpless , At a loss, until death.

Changsheng noticed Jiang Zheng's absence, and quickly tightened his grip on her hand: "Azheng, I'm here."

One sentence brought her back to reality, and Jiang Zheng couldn't help taking a few deep breaths.

For a moment, she seemed to have returned to the original world, where she was still the helpless liar, and ended up drowning in the river on her own terms.

Well... not really.

Fortunately, Chang Sheng said, "I'm here."

The ancient funeral sent them to the unknown depths of the seabed, and the surroundings were dim. After adapting to this light, they could discern carefully, and they could vaguely see the skeletons of countless giants that had already been turned into reefs.

This is the sea of ​​hopelessness, where is the keel seal?

They looked around like headless chickens, but they found nothing like a needle in a haystack.

Blind said that there is probably a maze here, just like the forest shrouded in mist in Wodo, the caster is very powerful, if he doesn't know how to do it, he will always circle in place.

Time is passing by every minute and every second, but the deep sea is not divided into day and night, exhaustion gradually invades them, just when they are confused, an ethereal voice comes leisurely: "This is the cemetery of giants, why did they send you foreigners in here?" ?”

The source of the voice is elusive, it seems not hostile, but somewhat guarded.

But before they could react, the owner of the voice said again: "The familiar breath, in a blink of an eye, it has been 200 years..."

"You mean Hilda?" Chang Sheng immediately realized that she cared about everything about Hilda more than anyone else.

"Are you from Ainota?"

Chang Sheng quickly responded: "Yes!"

After a period of almost dead silence, the voice sounded again: "I'm waiting for you."

After all, suddenly countless schools of fluorescent fish came from all directions, and they slowly gathered together, like a bright galaxy, illuminating the boundless deep sea and guiding them in the direction to go.

Chang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, Jiang Zheng quickly followed.

Led by the school of fish, the four of them came to a huge remains. From a distance, it was much bigger than the giants they had seen before.

A near-empty light and shadow gradually condensed into a shape, turning into a woman without legs, floating above the remains, and under her, it seemed to be an ancient altar entangled in seaweed.

"That's a spirit." Blind reminded in a low voice.

"The giant's ancestor was the most powerful existence in Wagron for tens of thousands of years." The woman said lightly, her tone as if it had nothing to do with her: "He was buried here at the beginning, and his will was still alive after his death, so this deep sea Among them, there are us."

Jiang Zheng traveled all the way with Chang Sheng, remembering that the four of them had mentioned spirits during their leisure and chat. This is a strange race. They are spirit creatures produced by changes in spiritual power. It's not a jīng, let alone a demon.

It is said that when the spirit race is strong enough, it can condense into a solid body and transform into thousands of forms. They are good at manipulating elements, are born with strong spiritual power, like to walk alone, and cannot have children.Because the mental power cannot be regenerated, if you want to reproduce the next generation, you can only transfer all your own mental power, which means the end of the life of the previous generation.Therefore, the number of this population is extremely small, and it is difficult to trace it.

"The ancestors of the giants made us, and the descendants of the giants enshrined us, and we guarded this place for generations. Over time, the giants regarded us as guardians and called us the underworld..."

She kept saying "we", but Jiang Zheng pretended to sneak around and looked around, but there was no second figure.

Seemingly seeing the outsider's doubts, she smiled and said, "I am the last one left in the clan." She said, looking up at Chang Sheng, and said, "Hilda's descendant, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Chang Sheng couldn't help taking a few steps forward, and said in a daze, "Wait for me?"

The woman smiled faintly: "Wait for you."

***

Ling said that more than 3000 years ago, the giant brought the keel and prayed to her ancestors to seal it forever. The nightmare began at that moment.

The black dragon has gradually awakened in the long years. He is a devil with the power to erode people's hearts.

Mental devastation, inner struggles, frequent but imperceptible internal betrayals, and the trust between each other also fell apart.In this way, the clansmen who had guarded the seal for generations were driven into the abyss of despair bit by bit by the black dragon.

Everything that happened on the bottom of the sea is unknown to the giants.

The giants who were also affected by the black dragon prayed day and night. They heard the pleas of those who were entangled in pain, but they could not help them.

If you can't protect yourself, how can you protect others?

Finally, in desperation, the patriarch made a decision that shocked everyone.

"We can only form souls."

Soul knot, in the spirit race, means to fuse the souls of different spiritual bodies to reshape a stronger spiritual body.

"We are not strong enough. The black dragon is eating us and everything we want to protect... Each of us can perish from this world, but the underworld that guards the Hopeless Sea and the entire Wagron cannot!"

"We must leave one person, the strongest person, to pass on our power from generation to generation!"

After a dead silence, the clansmen stood up one after another, their expressions were extremely resolute, but they couldn't hide their sadness.

They gathered together and chatted about every big and small event in the bottom of their hearts for hundreds of years, and in the end, before the fate came, they hugged each other and said goodbye.

The chosen ones gained supreme power under a huge soul-bonding sacrifice, but lost all their clansmen.

He fought against the black dragon in solitude, year after year without stopping.

When he was old, he passed on his strength and all his beliefs and persistence to the next generation, and he has lived up to it from generation to generation.

It's just that the power of the black dragon is getting stronger and stronger. Even if the power of the whole family is gathered, under the passage of time and the change of generations of guardian power, they will finally feel exhausted again.

Until more than 200 years ago, a "human being" named Hilda Dana brought a magic circle to strengthen the black dragon seal and saved the keel seal that was about to collapse.

***

Everything was just as the giant said, the black dragon never died, but fell asleep. His consciousness was gradually waking up, eroding the four seals bit by bit, and the guardians, apart from watching the seal collapse a little bit, had nothing to do.

The seal in Ainota affected Changsheng's eldest brother, and the seal in Wodo also set off a bloody storm, and in places they didn't know, the power of the black dragon was also recovering little by little.

Even Wagron, who was far away in the extremely cold place and isolated from the world, was not spared, and Eggert might not be much better.

At the end of this story, Ling stopped talking, and just looked at Chang Sheng with a complicated expression, as if waiting for something.

Changsheng hesitated for a long time, and said: "Tell me, I have your familiar aura..."

"Since your body has mutated, you should be aware that you are not a human being." Ling said.

Chang Sheng couldn't help biting his lower lip tightly, and after a long silence, he asked with difficulty: "Then what am I?"

Ling spread out his palm, and after the brilliance passed, a pearl rested quietly in his palm: "The answer is in front of your eyes, do you dare to touch it?"

Jiang Zheng and Baozi looked at Chang Sheng worriedly, and sat blindly aside, silently wiping the short bow in their hands.

There are some things that they can't help, they can only let Chang Sheng face it by himself.

Chang Sheng's outstretched hand approached but subconsciously withdrew it.

Everything she doubted was right in front of her eyes, but would she dare to touch it?Sometimes, if you don't reveal a lot of truth, you may be able to live in peace for a long time, but once you reveal it, the illusion will swallow up the so-called truth in your heart and make the world cruel.

She was timid. She had died once, and she was calm in the face of life and death, but at this moment, she dared not touch the answer she had always wanted to seek.

Suddenly, a thin hand patted her on the shoulder, she turned her head, Jiang Zheng raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "No matter what, I will face it with you."
