"Come in, the dead cave is safe, no one dares to break in."

Alfred walked into the dead cave, turned around and saw that Abner was still hesitating.

After hearing this, Abner twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled stiffly. He was not afraid of the dead cave, but the guards in the dead cave looked so bad. He couldn't guarantee that he would not be able to get out after entering. .

Alfred glanced at the guards, frowned, and said coldly: "What are you doing standing there? Have you checked all the undead?!"

Several guards immediately lowered their heads, shrunk and slipped into the inner room.

Abner forced a smile, and stepped into the death cave. As soon as he entered the door, a gust of cold wind blew from the nameless place, blowing all the broken hair on his forehead.Before the clothes on his body were dry, he sneezed hard.

Alfred touched his wet hair, smiled slightly, and said, "It won't be cold in a while, come with me."

Abner glanced at the clothes on Alfred, but there was not a drop of water, he raised his eyebrows, and followed Alfred down a staircase with dim candlelight, the colder it went down, he couldn't help it Stop shivering.

Walking to the end, there is a wide field with a group of bright yellow lines accompanying each other, criss-crossing, all leading to both sides of the stairs.Only then did Abner notice that there were slides on both sides of the stairs.

Alfred glanced back at Abner and asked, "You really don't know what these are?"

Abner shook his head.

Alfred sighed softly, and said, "It seems that you really don't know anything, how did you meet the King of Spiritual Life?"

Abner scratched his head and said, "Our place is haunted, Oreas happened to appear, and then..."

He didn't go on, because Alfred's brows were already knitted together.

Alfred was silent for a while, and said, "Come in first."

Alfred pushed open a door ahead, and Abner walked in. The furnishings inside were much simpler than he imagined, a narrow bed, a large wooden table, two chairs, a bookcase, a A fireplace, a small table with blue teacups and a plate of small white desserts.

"Sit down." Alfred signaled him to sit down, lit the fire in the fireplace, took clean shirts and towels from the cabinet, and handed them to him.

Abner took off his wet clothes.

"Give it to me." Alfred took the clothes and hung them in front of the fireplace.

Abner looked at Alfred's back, as if he had seen this scene somewhere.

Maybe he has a good relationship with Lance, he used to help Lance hang clothes like this, Abner thought, picked up the shirt and put it on his head.

Alfred hung up his clothes, turned around, and saw that Abner had put on his shirt with his back facing him, but because the shirt was relatively large, the neckline was hanging loosely, revealing his snow-white neck.

Suddenly, his mind tightened, and he saw a faint hickey on his neck!

Abner had just fastened the tie around his collar, turned around, and seeing Alfred's expression was very bad, he was stunned, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Alfred hurried up, grabbed his arms tightly with both hands, stared at him closely, and said sharply, "Have you ever been treated by him?"

Abner: "..."

"What was being done?" Abner asked.

Alfred's hand gripped even tighter, and said, "You're still a child! And you still have Lance's soul, how could he do this to you!"

Abner: "..."

After realizing what Alfred was saying, Abner looked seriously into his burning eyes and said, "We are partners."

Alfred's hands trembled and his mouth moved. He was speechless for a long time, and finally he said slowly, "Are you for real?"

Abner nodded without hesitation.

"But do you know what relationship Lance has with him?"

"Lance is just his adopted child, but what does that have to do with me?"

Alfred was silent for a while, lowered his head, slowly let go of his hand, and said, "Maybe...you are just attached to him. Although you and Lance are not the same person, you have the same soul..."

Alfred looked at him quietly and said, "Even if you don't want to admit it, your every move contains the shadow of Lance..."

"So what about the same soul! Isn't the soul here always reincarnating?! Then everyone is the same as the last person with the same soul?" Abner roared.

"No, your soul contains the soul fragments of the King of Souls, this is the bond, and..." Alfred was silent for a while, and continued, "Not only is your soul eternal, but your body is also eternal. Never decay, that is to say, you will not enter reincarnation, you will always have the memory of the past. If it weren't for that accident, you would have lived forever, and now you are just a different body."

Abner was stunned, his throat felt dry and painful, and his body felt like an electric shock.

"What did you say?" Abner asked.

Alfred took a deep breath and said, "Lance is a descendant of the Snow Witch and the Son of God."

Abner looked at Alfred blankly.

"The Xuewu tribe can understand the gods and is divided into the Wu tribe and the Spirit tribe. When they reach the age of 18, the people of the two tribes can be transformed into Haidongqing and Swan respectively, and then enter the "Bering" period. The two tribes kill each other. During the 'Bering' period, only those who came out alive were truly adults and became true Snow Witches."

Abner was stunned for a moment, thinking of Herbert. Herbert could become Hai Dongqing, he should be from the Witch clan, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

"But Lance's mother ran away during the 'Bering' period, and when she came back, she was already holding Lance in her arms."

Abner stared wide-eyed, looking at Alfred suspiciously.

"There is no doubt, her deeds are well known to the world. Because she comes from the most prominent family of the Snow Witch Clan, she has an unsullied elegance in her beauty. She was born in the Witch Clan, but has always sympathized with the Spirit Clan, so she is often called by the Snow Witch Clan. The elders reprimanded her. She escaped from 'Bering', which caused a sensation in the whole clan."

"No one knows when she met the Son of God and how she gave birth to Lance. According to the elders of the Snow Witch Clan, the child in her arms was transparent at that time, shrouded in white light, with blue eyes like holy light The illuminated surface of the abyss," Alfred paused, looked into Abner's eyes, and continued, "Just like you are now."

Abner was taken aback for a moment, raised his arms, and looked at the light on his body.

"Of course, the light on Lance's body will be heavier at that time, and now your soul is suppressed by the King of Soul."

"Humans and gods are forbidden to combine, and Lance's mother has not yet become a real snow witch, Lance's body should be very weak, but the fact is that Lance is very healthy, because... he ate the life fruit, and have eternal life.”

Abner was stunned, "Life fruit? What is that?"

Alfred was silent for a while, and said, "Did the King of Spiritual Life really not tell you anything?"

Abner shook his head.

Alfred fell silent again.

Abner grasped his hand tightly and hurriedly said, "Tell me!"

Alfred sighed softly, and said slowly: "God created the Garden of Eden for himself and the Son of God, and planted many divine trees in it. The tree of life is the most precious tree among them, but its fruit only provides god."

"Then Lance why..."

Alfred glanced at him and said, "Don't forget, his father is the Son of God, and there will always be a way to get the fruit of life."

Abner remained silent.

Alfred continued: "It is said that soon the elders of the Snow Witch tribe, who were psychic, received instructions from the gods, that is, this child could not be kept, and Lance's mother took Lance and fled to the Snow Witch tribe. The Supreme Elder - the King of Time Su, but the King of Time Su couldn't keep the child. At this time, the King of Time Su received God's instructions, hugged the child, put it on the high spire of reincarnation, and quickly Lightning struck him."

Abner shuddered.

"At that time, I was checking the undead in the dead cave, and the purple lightning was like a huge octopus tentacles," Alfred paused, "Amid the heartbreaking screams of Lance's mother, Lance's cry The sound suddenly sounded, and he is not dead."

"how come……"

"Perhaps Lance's father had a premonition. He hid the legendary bone of the Son of God on Lance's body. When the lightning struck, it saved Lance from a catastrophe. The bone of the Son of God broke into seven pieces. Landed in different places. The King of Time Tracing understood that this was also the meaning of God. God had let Lance go, but he also foresaw that the future path of Lance would not be easy. So the King of Time Tracing took the only remaining A small piece of broken bone was tied up with a rope and hung around Lance's neck, so that Lance's mother took him to escape... Soon after, everyone found the body of Lance's mother, but Lance disappeared, and time passed. Let the land pass by and disappear one by one, our world has entered the end of a round, everything is dying, everyone is busy with a new round of restart, and has long forgotten Lance. But in fact, a group of people have been Tracking Lance, and secretly plotting plans."

"What plan?" Abner's back was dripping with cold sweat.

Alfred glanced at him and said, "First of all, you need to know that our world is a world that keeps repeating. The mountains, rivers, land, and creatures you see... the last round, the last round, no matter which round It’s all like this, even the soul will always be those, almost never increasing, reincarnating from generation to generation, going round and round, without end.”

Abner trembled, "Why?"

"For the so-called eternal life of the soul."

Abner froze.

"We don't know how many creatures God has created, but the only thing we know is that, except for the legendary Garden of Eden, which will not wither, except God and the Son of God, who will not die of old age, all creatures will eventually disappear. Our ancestors are Adam's The descendants, they got the prophecy from Adam that we will gradually conquer the rest of the living beings, slowly sit on the whole earth, and travel to the distant starry sky and the dark abyss, until our desires become deeper and our understanding becomes deeper and deeper. There are more and more people who don’t understand.

"But desire drives us to possess and invade. We get more and more, and lose more and more. In the end, we will die on a certain journey. So our ancestors made a covenant with God, and we will always be Close yourself here, don't travel far, don't pursue desires, don't have many children, don't kill, and a person can only have one partner in his life. God will give us a garden that never fades and an eternal soul, and it will be here for generations reproduce.

"Our world restarts every thousand grids, that is, enters a new round. At the end of a round, everything withers and people fall asleep. Only the four kings shoulder the heavy responsibility of restarting the world. These four kings are composed of God selected from our ancestors, except for the king of the Shengtong family, the other three kings have eternal souls and bodies that never fade."

Alfred squeezed Abner's shoulders again, and said: "We are imprisoned here forever, facing the same mountains, rivers and land forever. But, human desires will not be imprisoned because of this."

Abner's mind went blank.
