Useless

bright.

At this time, the spaceship had completely submerged in the radiation range of the gray passage. Under the huge pressure, tiny cracks appeared in the bulkhead, like vines that signaled ominousness, winding and growing.Theoretical results show that the pressure in it is tens of millions of times that of the outside world. Under such a strong pressure, the hope of a smooth migration is quite slim.

Maybe I can meet you in the past, and maybe I will be annihilated with you into countless atoms.Atoms, the smallest things in the universe, are everywhere.If there is reincarnation in this world, we may meet again after thousands of years.

Amidst the beeps generated by the system running, Shen Ye suddenly recalled a record that he accidentally saw while browsing through the materials in the Hall of Birth and Death a long time ago.Legend has it that there was once a creature named Phoenix in the world, who lived for 500 years, died at the end of the year, was reborn from the fire three days later, and returned to the world for [-] years, which is called Nirvana.

He held the joystick that controlled the direction of travel, firmly pressed it down, and faced the first and last flame of calamity in this life.

In this life, all their choices are correct, but the ending is all wrong.

With the disappearance of the dazzling white light, the last trace of the existence of the ancient liuyue civilization was finally wiped out, more thoroughly than turning into dust.

Le Wuyi closed his eyes in the bright light of the fireworks.

It's a pity that it's hard to be lazy at the court banquet. As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of someone clinking glasses with Li Yan behind him: "Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Le Wuyi sighed, picked up the wine glass and walked to Li Yan's side.

Yi Suisheng clinked glasses with him with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness, too."

"You have old wounds on your body, so don't drink." Li Yan pressed Le Wuyi's hand, "I will replace you."

Le Wuyi smiled at him in relief: "One or two bites will not get in the way."

"Priest Yaoguang came from afar, did he bring any news?" Li Yan motioned the waiters around to step down, and looked at Yi Suisheng with a smile.

"I got the last message last night, the shuttle machine has entered the gray tunnel radiation area."

Le Wuyi's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice, "Where is the gray path you are talking about?"

Yi Suisheng fluently reported a coordinate.

"Excuse me." Le Wuyi smiled at the two of them and hurried to the window.He raised his head and stared at the vast starry sky that he was all too familiar with for a long time. Countless stars filled the sky densely like chess pieces.He once saw in the notes of Ji Shan's former residence that in the ancient Moon Moon civilization, people used to use various complex and difficult calculations to try to predict the unpredictable future of life by using the trajectories of the stars.

"Life is not a set program. When the conditions are met, it will develop according to the established ending. Sometimes even if you make the most correct choice, you may not get the perfect ending. However, life is the most mysterious and magnificent The beauty of it is its uncertainty, isn't it?"

The streamer of light across the night rose from a distance and exploded beside the moon. The dazzling fire rain only lasted for a moment, and then disappeared behind the diffuse smoke.It's beautiful, but also fleeting.However, in the rolling torrent of time, nothing lasts forever.The ups and downs of stars, the prosperity and decline of life, the aggregation and dispersion of light and dust, the birth and death of civilizations, happen every moment, in places that are within sight and beyond.

Le Wuyi stood in the wind, looking persistently at the position that bears the final outcome of the Liuyue Civilization.It was pitch black there, looking very dim against the sky full of stars.He knew that he would never be able to see again, the last scene before falling into the gray path would wander in the vast universe with interstellar dust, and be brought back to WD017 by light after many, many years, and the waiting time would be extremely long, far longer than He can pay.

"This is really...a useless ending." He murmured, attracting a burst of incomprehensible attention from others.

At some point, Li Yan approached quietly.He held Le Wuyi's hand firmly, and said softly, "It's not like this, at least you and I are far from the end."

Le Wuyi followed the sound, Li Yan stared at him tenderly, he couldn't help laughing, his bright amber eyes seemed to be filled with sparkling debris.

Yes, the legend of the old world is over, and the glory of the new era will finally come.

END.

Good for nothing·External chapter

Prequel · Hitomi Heng · Killing Love

Fiery, brutal, icy, lingering—

This indelible, redundant, dirty, sinful desire.

The liquid falling from the mouth of the pot drew a beautiful red mark as smooth as a blood rainbow in mid-air, fell into the crystal cup filled with ice stones, splashed in all directions, smashed into pieces on the transparent cup wall, piled up and exuded Snow-white carcasses with a rich aroma.

"Violence." Shen Ye commented.

Hitomi was unmoved: "You shouldn't be here."

"Oh?"

"At least tonight," Tong's eyes drifted to Xie Yi who was laughing at Yan Yan in the crowd, "You shouldn't be here."

"So sure?"

"The staged victory achieved under long-term high pressure is indeed worth celebrating through a moment of indulgence."

"How do you do it?"

Hitomi's slender fingers touched the wall of the cup, and the water droplets attached to the smooth surface left a wet trace along his fingerprint.

"Only these?"

"not enough?"

"Why is it always so boring?" Shen Ye smiled, "You can also try indulgence, Priest of Seven Kills."

"Indulgence does not lead to more pleasure."

"Have you tried?"

"Induce me?" Tong raised his eyelids and met Shen Ye's gaze, "Why?"

"Compared to watching fire from the other side, it may be a more efficient way to attack head-on." Shen Ye said meaningfully, "Give yourself a chance, give others a chance, he will be very happy, and I will be too."

"What way?"

"Explore... the path of original sin." The water marks in the memory were dried by time, and the echoes wandering in the mind stopped abruptly.

Postscript·Xia Lexia·Yu Meng

"Of course history can be changed if only the butterfly flaps its wings at the right time and place."

"so?"

"So except for the lucky one in a billion, the vast majority of time travelers will only be victims in the maze of time." Yi Suisheng clasped his fingers and looked at Li Yan calmly, "This is my answer, Your Majesty .”

Li Yan was silent for a few seconds, then turned his head and ordered Ye Lingzhen who was at the side: "Start the ceremony of making Duke Ding the king, and choose an auspicious day to descend on the tomb."

"It's just like leaving the night before, maybe after a few days—"

"No need."

"Yes." Ye Lingzhen hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What do you think of the selection of the tomb site in the Le clan in the western suburbs?"

Li Yan's indifferent eyes fell on the mirror-like glass table, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Yi Suisheng observed the expressions of the monarch and his ministers with great interest, and sipped the warm tea soup. The aroma in the tureen was mellow and slightly bitter, sliding down the tongue all the way, evoking a long aftertaste in the throat.

"His Majesty?"

"...Buried in Pingling Mausoleum."

"Pingling? Isn't that—" Ye Lingzhen was about to ask again, but suddenly realized something, got up and saluted, and hurried out the door.

"We still need time to consider the cooperation plan proposed by Longbingyu." Li Yan got up and walked to Yi Suisheng, and shook hands with him, "Thank you, Priest Yaoguang, for your clarification. Sorry for not entertaining in person.”

The orange sunset hangs down from the sky, setting off sparkling waves on the smooth glass curtain wall.Yi Suisheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and smiled slightly at Li Yan reflected in the ambiguous light: "Your Majesty... did you see anything?"

"Oh? What did Priest Yaoguang see?" Li Yan stretched out his hand to touch the glass window in front of him, and the biting chill penetrated into his veins like a pinprick.The answer close to his ears was so familiar that he had the illusion of going back in time——

"Shen Ye."

"What did you say? Say it again."

"I said you look like Shen Ye," Le Wuyi looked at Li Yan without hesitation, "You are almost his shadow now!"

"Heh, then whose shadow are you? Xie Yi?"

"I'm still me," Le Wuyi shook his head and took two steps back, responding softly with a complex expression, "but you're not you anymore."

"Really? But I was originally such a person. If I want something, I must get it, and if it is taken away, I must get it back." Li Yan smiled mockingly, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? "

"You are not as ruthless as you think, I know." Le Wuyi calmly stared at the face of his close friend, "I will come to see you again after I find my friend."

Li Yan stepped forward and held Le Wuyi's arm: "There is no need to go anywhere, he is right here."

"He's not here." Le Wuyi lowered his eyes and pulled off Li Yan's hand, "Today is an auspicious day for your enthronement, I don't want to argue with you."

"Very good, very good... I will never see you again, this is the gift I have been waiting for for a long time?" Li Yan sneered, "Your Highness, be realistic, you have long passed the age of dreaming."

"If Your Majesty really thinks my idea is empty talk, why did you support this project in the first place?"

"..."

"You have regretted it too, right? Those who should not have been sacrificed, our relatives, friends, innocent people... We have lost too much."

"This is the price you have to pay for success, and you won't regret it if it's meaningless." Li Yan paused, and then said, "Let go of those unnecessary worries and kindness, you don't have to suffer so much."

"Is it superfluous? I don't think so... neither did you before."

"Maybe it's because you never understood me, just like I didn't understand you either." Li Yan stood in front of Le Wuyi without moving a step, "You really took great pains to escape from me."

"This is salvation. To save you, and to save myself." Le
