Throne of Radiance

"..."

Li Fufeng's words caused everyone to fall into a dead silence.The guess he put forward may be relatively rough, but the most important part has no obvious loopholes.

Moreover, even if the possibility of it coming true is only one in ten million, it is absolutely unacceptable to everyone present.

This also made him who had no sense of existence suddenly become the focus of the crowd, gathering everyone's attention.

Even the "travelers" are no exception.

They looked at Li Fufeng as if they were looking at a real warrior.

...In the place where almost all the important people in the Twelve Cities gathered, a group of budding buddies who grew up in a peaceful world almost all knelt on the spot because of the momentum of the confrontation just now, okay?It's as dangerous as falling into the center of a storm!

... This fellow can still think so calmly, and has the courage to speak out, what a bold feat!

At this moment, even the "travelers" with their own thoughts were shocked. They looked at Li Fufeng not only in amazement, but even to the point of admiration.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

The sudden cheering applause broke everyone's different thoughts, and also broke the originally quiet and somewhat weird atmosphere.

"That's amazing, Mr. Consultant!" Two pairs of shining eyes stared at Li Fufeng at the same time. The similarity in appearance reached the point where anyone with zero reasoning could see their relationship at first sight. Turning his head, looking up at the man in the focus of the crowd with eyes full of shock and admiration, the seal applauded, "Just knowing a few clues can quickly analyze so many cocoons, so as long as it is a man with the title of consultant Are they all that powerful? Whether it’s a criminal consultant or something else..."

As they spoke, their voices became lower and lower.But everyone present had cultivation bases, and they could clearly hear Ji Heng's complaints behind him.

"——I know!" Memorial suddenly joined her palms together, and naturally accepted her brother's complaints. She suddenly said, "You must be the legendary Sherlock Lee Moriarty!"

"?"

"???"

"?????"

One question mark after another appeared in the surrounding eyes in the form of an arithmetic progression. The center of the pupil surrounded by question marks reflected the almost identical excited and adoring faces of the brother and sister, as well as Li Fufeng's slowly cracking smile.

The parties involved are now in a very complicated mood.

He looked at the two companions who he had taken on the road, and felt the suffocation and heaviness of being surrounded by sand sculptures for a long time.

... Now I regret it, I regret it very much.

What are these two guys doing... Before, they were in a state of wandering in the crowd, and they seemed to be confused by the unexpected situation. Is it just to persecute me? ? ?

...How on earth did you manage to say such shameful lines in public!

Feeling the gazes falling on him from all directions, even though he was still bathed in so many gazes as before, Li Fufeng still keenly noticed that the meaning of these gazes had changed... It was as if... he was also regarded as a Just as unreliable as those two unreliable guys.

Isn't that bad?If it makes others not believe the nonsense I just babbled... No, it's already bad.Every time the brother and sister "fall ill", Li Fufeng finds that he can't help turning himself into a slave to complain.

He silently sorted out the messy emotions in his heart, and smiled skillfully: "Actually, I was just guessing casually."

"No, it's not a random guess. Your guess is very likely." As one of the victims who has met the siblings no less than ten times and has some understanding of their personalities, and also experienced social death, Qingfei She was the first to come to her senses, and she also skillfully ignored the pair of sand sculpture brothers and sisters, "Actually, since a long time ago, I found that I was always repeating the life of the previous day day after day, and I often thought... ..."

The pitch-black night enveloped the entire sky, and under the faint starlight, the sand particles covering the field of vision were like a golden ocean. The little girl's red dress was blown up by the cold night wind. She stretched out a hand and stretched it. fingers caught the flowing starlight.

There was a flash of confusion in her clear pupils.

"...is this world real?"

I, again... do I really exist?

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an inexplicable low ebb. Although they didn't know what was going on, almost everyone was infected by Qing Fei's state of mind by virtue of her high-level exaggeration and suppression.They also seemed to be brought into each other's empty mind, and saw what the other saw, the ethereal and unreal world.

"In short, now we must find the real Heavenly Capital and wake up the Lord of the Heavenly Capital, right?" The "travelers" are easily influenced by her will because their realm is too low, but the aborigines here are very The top experts in Ercheng got rid of the influence almost instantly, and someone spoke impatiently.

"—Since this is the case, let's do it quickly. I don't want to live in a world that may be restarted by the time loop at any time, or will be fragmented after the restart is over."

"So, we have reached a consensus?"

Those gathered here are either the decision-makers of the Twelve Cities, or high-ranking people who can decide the fate of countless people with their own powerful force, and they know the priorities.The most important task right now is to enter the real Heavenly Capital and wake up the Lord of the Heavenly Capital. Other details can be left behind.

As a result, the conflicts and unhappiness that happened just now were all forgotten by them, and everyone's eyes were all focused on the illusory ruins of Tiandu in front of them, or in other words, the very center of the ruins.

Passing through the mirage-like ruins, stepping on the bones in the sand and rain under their feet, this team finally kneaded together to form a whole, all the way to the very center of the ruins - that is the half of the palace The wreckage, of course, is still a phantom that can only be seen but not touched.

However, among the wreckage, there is a huge stone tablet standing in the middle of the desert, like a key inserted in a keyhole.The star map of the twelve constellations of the week is engraved on it.

"This is it." The city lord who first discovered the stele said, she reached out and touched the cold outer wall of the stele, "It really exists, I saw it at first glance. The star map groove on it corresponds to our The mayor's order..."

She was just about to ask everyone to put the tokens on it for a try, but a strange but irresistible force came from the stone tablet, and immediately bounced her hand that had just touched the stone tablet away.

Above the sky, the stars are shining brightly.

Twelve large stars revolved slowly among the stars, interweaving a vortex of rippling starlight, and the brilliance fell down. On the surface of the dark stone tablet, the star map suddenly vibrated, and light burst out.

Blooming from every line of seal carving.

Afterwards, a suspended star map was intertwined about half a meter above the stele.

The patterns on the tokens of the lords of the Twelve Cities fit into this star map, slowly rotating above the stele, corresponding to the star map in the sky...

This scene is very similar to what the "travelers" saw in science fiction movies, virtual VR projection imaging and the like.

At this moment, the sky and the earth are covered with starlight.

The outline of a city bathed in the starlight slowly emerged, like a magic cast at midnight, it was drawn bit by bit in the originally empty sky.

Everyone stared blankly at the city that appeared in the sky.

"...Tiandu, it really is a veritable Tiandu."

After a moment of astonishment, someone spoke depressingly.

"What, it turned out that we didn't need our token at all, no, maybe we weren't needed at all, when the time came, the seal of the Land of Rising Sun was touched, and the Heavenly Capital appeared."

"—whether we come or not."

"But this is in line with the arrangement of the Lord of the Heavenly Capital, isn't it?" Regardless of differences in positions, thoughts, personalities, or views, human beings have the same instinct to appreciate beauty.At this moment, this vast expanse of starry sky and the heavenly capital suspended under the starry sky undoubtedly made everyone appreciate a certain kind of ultimate beauty.In the midst of the shock, someone smiled, "Falling into a deep sleep, I can only passively wait for future generations to wake up. In the final analysis, it's just us ordinary mortals making up rumors. The Lord of the Heavenly Capital, who is said to have surpassed heaven and man, has You are a god-like existence, how can you let yourself be reduced to such a powerless... where you can only wait for others to make decisions?"

The speaker was wearing a black robe, most of his face was hidden in the hood of the cloak, and his voice was a bit hoarse.

——This person is a member of a certain city lord's entourage. He joined the "travelers" for a short time just now. He has been keeping a low profile and silent, calling himself "Samuel".Li Fufeng and the others didn't know each other, they only knew that he was a "traveler" from the west.But to be able to climb to such a position in a civilization that is clearly dominated by the East in a few years is undoubtedly an extraordinary talent.

The dead "Kunlun slave" is a stark contrast.

Samuel, who stood up suddenly, completely ignored the gazes around him, and he spoke in a convincing tone:

"Perhaps, the so-called summoning order was never a token for the Lord of the Heavenly Capital to seek help from the outside world. Instead, it was inherited from our ancestors as a reward for our ancestors to follow the Lord of the Heavenly Capital loyally. Woolen cloth?"

He is obviously an outsider, but his tone of voice is more like that of an aborigine, and the substitution is very natural.

"—It's not that the Lord of the Heavenly Capital needs us to wake up."

"——Instead, when the Lord of the Heavenly Capital wakes up, we who arrived at the first time will be favored by the Lord of the Heavenly Capital?"

"For example, lead us to the land of the sunrise, as the first batch of pioneers, to share the joy of returning to our homeland."

the most important is--

Samuel looked up to the sky and uttered an exclamation of joy that made one think he was on the verge of weeping passionately.A strand of silver-white hair fell from his hood.

"...under the premise that the whole world is about to be destroyed, this is the Ark of Hope leading to the future."

—What generosity, the god.

!

... pupil quake.

Samuel did not say anything, and became a blockbuster. A fanatical speech shocked everyone, and everyone fell into the shock of "the truth is so", and the weirdness of "who is this guy? Isn't he really preaching?" thinking.

But time has not allowed them to think too much.

Click, click, click...

A small but clear crackling sound came from far and near.In the distant sky at the end of the line of sight, there were spider web-like cracks spreading continuously, and after that, large pieces of debris fell off in front of my eyes.

The moment it fell off, it turned into nothingness.

The whole world seems to have instantly turned into colorful paintings on the scroll, and an eraser is moving from the edge of the scroll to the center, erasing the marks on it bit by bit.

As a result, more and more blank spaces spread from the edge of sight.

"Let's go!" Her heart jumped like a beating drum, and Qing Fei, who was the first to react, yelled, and took the lead in sweeping towards the city above, "Go to Tiandu City!"

She also brought Li Fufeng a few oil bottles along with her.

The reactions of the others were not slow either. For example, the masters of Longevity City, who were more talkative, all directly rolled up the surrounding low-level warriors, and they swept up into the sky like the wind!

Behind them, there is a world that is constantly turning into nothingness and blankness, a large blank that is constantly chasing.

——They seem to be the only remaining colors in this world.

There is also the sky above, the Tiandu City bathed in starlight.

·

Hurry up!

An unprecedented sense of urgency crazily squeezed the heart, like a flock of sheep being chased by hunting dogs, this group of people at the top of the Twelve Cities experienced the feeling of running for their lives in a hurry for the first time.

They are all like this, not to mention others.

All the colors in the sky and the earth are fading, just like a rainbow candy is melting from the outside to the inside, the boundary of the world is being swallowed by the void of nothingness, only the ancient sky under the starry sky looks unique true color.

At this moment, all distracting thoughts disappeared, everyone's eyes fell on the same direction, and there was only one goal in mind.

——Tiandu!

huh, huh, huh...

Li Fufeng, who was led by Qing Fei at the front, felt the cold wind blowing across his face like a knife, as well as the violent heartbeat in his chest, and his throat was hurting during the rapid breathing.

At this moment, he heard a scream from behind him, and his life contained unimaginable panic and despair.

"Do not--"

Li Fufeng looked back subconsciously.

As far as the eye can see, a figure that has fallen to the end is being chased by a large piece of nothingness. From the moment it touches the edge of nothingness, the ankles, calves, and arms, the blankness of nothingness is like an invisible eraser, erased in an instant Most of him.

Not surprisingly, the next one was his upper body and head.I'm afraid it will disappear as long as you can't take a breath.

In the process of escaping, looking back is the limit.

When Li Fufeng looked away, in the last corner of his vision, the figure had disappeared.His heart couldn't help beating heavily.

——Everyone who saw this scene couldn't restrain their fear.It is hard for anyone not to be afraid to see a large living figure being erased like a paper man on paper.

But at the same time of panic, Li Fufeng felt some doubts in his heart. He subconsciously recalled the scene he saw just now.Every detail is constantly playing back in his mind.

If he read it right... that person's reaction just now was not quite right.Before he was about to be overtaken and devoured by nothingness, that person was terrified, but when his body really touched the void of nothingness, that fear disappeared instead.

... Even the screams stopped abruptly.

He seemed to have just woken up from a dream, with an expression of sudden realization, no longer struggling and exclaiming, his expression could be called calm.

In the end, there was even a serene expression on that face.

——It was as if he had accepted death peacefully and peacefully.This was the happy ending he had been looking forward to for a long time.

Li Fufeng shivered because of his imagination.Even the cold wind blowing on his face like a knife was temporarily ignored.

At this moment of desperate escape, he couldn't help admiring himself for having so many thoughts.Probably because of an occupational disease, but something seems to be wrong...

Just as his thoughts came to a head, the world in front of him suddenly spun. He was like a small biscuit thrown out by someone. He quickly drew a circular arc in mid-air, and then landed on the ground with a snap. He subconsciously rolled half a circle to release the momentum. stop.

Immediately afterwards, a series of landing sounds sounded not far away, and he also heard the familiar cries of Ji Hengjiu's brother and sister.

The bright starlight shone down, and the ancient city wall covered with sword marks and sword marks was beneath him. One hand stretched out in front of Li Fufeng: "How long do you want to lie down? Get up quickly."

Li Fufeng grabbed Liu Ningshuang's hand and stood up. When he saw a group of alive and kicking traversers around him, he realized what had happened: "This is the capital of heaven... have we all arrived?" Feeling.

"..." Liu Ningshuang was silent for a moment, "No."

"No one has come..." Her tone was no longer cheerful as usual, her eyes were looking straight outside the city wall, her willow eyebrows had already unconsciously frowned, "It seems that they...can't come in?"

Li Fufeng was stunned for a moment, and looked around carefully.It was only then that it was discovered that the survivors standing on the city wall were all "travelers" from Zhanlan Star, and there were none of the local aborigines.

Logically speaking, Qing Fei was the first to arrive... A bad premonition surged in her heart, Li Fufeng's gaze outside the city wall collided with the little girl's gaze.

"Qing Fei—"

As far as the eye can see is the world behind the girl that is constantly turning into nothingness, and those figures who are blocked from the sky, starting from the end of the crowd, are constantly melting into nothingness.

Obviously the body is disappearing, but there is only a smile on the face...

They were the ones who fled in a hurry before, desperately trying to escape to the sky, but at the moment when they were melted by nothingness, they were the ones who accepted their fate with a smile, as if they were not unwilling.

... how strange.

In the eyes of the remaining survivors, these scenes of willingly "going to death" are extremely strange and horrifying.

With the entire world disintegrating, the only safe zone left now is a small circle outside Tiandu.Survivors who stay in the safe zone are blocked by the invisible force of Tiandu, and they have to face the unavoidable end of the safe zone's continuous disintegration and demise. Can't help but mess up the size.

"What to do? What to do now?"

"Why is this happening? Is the sky rejecting us?"

"Obviously we have tokens..."

"Is this the ending that the Lord of Heaven has prepared for us? To be buried with this doomed broken world..."

"Is our guess wrong? Didn't the Lord of the Heavenly Capital mean to take everyone away together? Didn't it mean that the Token of the City Lord is the token of entering the Heavenly Capital—" The most irritable City Lord of Quailshou City was about to riot, He rushed towards the ancient city wall without hesitation, as if a hurricane was blowing around him, "Damn it, let me in! I must go in—"

boom!Boom boom boom!

In mid-air, this master-level figure seemed to turn himself into a magic weapon, every punch and every kick carried the force of smashing the earth, like roaring artillery bombarding the city wall.

"It's useless." Someone said behind him.

The person concerned may not have noticed, but the "travelers" standing on the city wall have already discovered something wrong with the aborigines below.Except for the city lord of Quailshou City who was still in a hurry to break into Tiandu, everyone else just stood behind him and watched the scene calmly, neither obstructing nor stepping forward to help.He didn't even care about the void that was constantly devouring behind him.

...they were calm too much.

Even Yan Wu, the irascible city lord of Quailshou City, noticed something was wrong. He turned around in dissatisfaction, and was super annoyed by these ineffective guys: "How do you know it's useless if you don't try? If you don't come up to help, what are you doing?" ……"what!

His unfinished words stuck in his throat.Because what appeared in front of him were calm and dazed faces, which made him very uncomfortable, and he felt uncomfortable all over: "What, what's wrong?"

"Haven't you remembered? It really is an idiot who has not entered the country."

The first to speak was Qing Fei in a red dress, her mocking expression and tone made people furious in no time.

Immediately after he opened his mouth was the Lord of Longevity City, who had also reached heaven and earth. The old man sighed full of regret: "The dead cannot enter the world of the living, and phantoms can only stay in dreams after all. We are already a group of dead people. .”

"What are you guys talking about..." Yan Wu took a step back subconsciously, he didn't notice his stiff tone.

Another person said: "I've already remembered. The terrifying storm that year not only destroyed the entire sword world... all of us have already died at that time!"

These people murmured one after another: "Are we now the remnants of the dead, or..."

"Although I have decided to accept my fate calmly, as expected, I am still not reconciled." Qingfei walked slowly to the front of the crowd, touching the gate of the city tightly closed by the sky with her palm, "I don't know the truth yet, and I haven't seen that person yet." , the one who created it all and gave us another 'life'."

She repeated it over and over—

"It's really not reconciled to disappear like this."

A hidden force attached to the surface of the city gate, pushing her away, Qingfei didn't care, and pushed hard with her palm.

First the fingers, then the palm, and then the forearm. Half of the arm was shattered by the sudden burst of force, and the closed door was also pushed open a tiny gap in an instant.

A large amount of light flowed out from the door, instantly flooding the entire world and covering everyone's sight.

"Master Sword Master, you should also wake up."
