Chapter 485: One Person's Path
Lotus Heart Lake.
Ying and Yasuaki both knew that this was the only time left before the final day.
The two of them sat by the lake in tacit understanding, staring blankly at the cherry blossoms floating on the lake. Their silence was not awkward, but rather they truly knew each other's thoughts.
"It seems that none of us can persuade each other."
Ying pursed her lips, her smile somewhat helpless, "You are still determined to die, and you are going to participate in the final battle."
An Ming nodded gently, "Isn't it the same for Sister Ying?"
This time they both wanted to persuade each other not to fight with the determination to sacrifice, but both An Ming and Ying were already prepared to sacrifice everything.
How could I possibly persuade the other party?
"You are always like this, An Ming," Ying said with a smile, with some emotion in her eyes, "Before the last day comes, do you want to hear a story?"
"All ears."
Ying never told An Ming about her entire past, only some fragments at most.
An Ming actually vaguely sensed something, but he still listened carefully to Ying's story.
"That is a story about breaking the shackles of reincarnation."
Sakura spoke softly, recounting the past on Edo Planet, where there was also a young man who entered the game and faced the almighty god alone.
Just like today, it has never changed.
No matter how many times, the An Ming that Sakura knew would swing his blade at the gods in the sky countless times.
Become——the only savior.
...
...
Without forging this sword, Takama-ga-hara could not be saved.
But to forge this sword, the entire Takama-ga-hara is required as the price.
"none."
When Takama-ga-hara was finally swallowed by darkness, the white-haired man held it with a calm and gentle look in his eyes. “When you are cast, it means that Takama-ga-hara is no longer salvageable.”
"In the end, we can only let the world down, but we cannot save it."
Forging the entire planet into a knife is just another kind of helpless nothingness.
The white-haired man silently plunged the hilt of the knife into the dark ocean. In the boiling void there was still a last point of light, piercing through the deep void like a meteor.
"You are the fire."
"It is the last star of Takamagahara."
Go ahead...and light up!
This is Takamagahara's final will, and the "salvation" that depends on it for everything.
One day, a true savior will appear, holding this sword of nothingness and creating a future that is no longer nothingness. This day will eventually come!
[Nothing] is like a star, penetrating the darkness, gradually turning into the appearance of a baby, and falling into the bright Izumo.
How can a baby cry when he sees such a glorious and infinite world?
Because this world... is really beautiful.
There is still one day left until the final day.
It was an exceptionally quiet day in Izumo, with noisy spirits and bright black sun.
It was as if the evil beast hidden in the darkness was restlessly stirring, its invisible body wailing and struggling in the dead silence, exuding endless resentment and hostility.
It seemed as if it wanted to drag this remaining world into deeper despair, allowing all vitality to completely dissipate under the gaze of the black sun, leaving only endless desolation and ruin.
The past of Takama-ga-hara was finally repeated in Izumo. Regardless of whether people were willing to see the scene before their eyes or not, this moment finally arrived.
Under the dark sun, Takama-ga-hara condensed into a sword of demons, with tens of millions of evil beasts eroded by nothingness, and it was filled with grim swords.
The masters of those swords once raised their blades towards the infinite sun, but the final outcome was to become a part of nothingness and become lost people who had forgotten everything.
Throughout his life, even after death he would be trapped in the mire of the sun and unable to truly rest.
All the evil beasts and swords merge into this final one——【End】.
The end of the end.
It is the remnant of the demise of an era, and also the product of being completely swallowed up by nothingness. Even if you just look up at it, you can feel the fear and trembling in your heart.
"Will Izumo end up like that?" Someone completely collapsed under the shadow of the end and smashed his head against the wall to end his life prematurely.
It would be more pleasant to die early than to fall into endless nothingness.
"Mom, it's a star!"
Uesugi Enishi stood on the balcony holding the white cat, his eyes wide open, watching the increasingly bright light in the sky.
The woman beside him had a trembling look in her eyes. She hugged Uesugi and whispered, "Those are stars. Tomorrow... we will be able to see the night sky of Izumo."
Those were not stars at all, but the energy rapidly accumulating in Takamagahara, like the sword of Damocles about to fall.
But there is still a sharp blade that can cut through the starlight, and never retreat!
"An Ming, [Lan] can only hold on for ten minutes."
Feng Chuan Xiu only told An Ming the information he needed and said nothing else.
This was the final battle, and he didn't want to add more burden to the young man in front of him, even if the price of these ten minutes was the destruction of his soul.
After that, he will hand Lan over to An Ming, carrying his will and continuing to burn.
This is a road that can only accommodate one person. It will be an extremely lonely road. This is a great cause called salvation.
Fengchuan Xiu knew that he could not see the end of Izumo, but he was willing to believe in his companions.
Lan's sharp blade slowly unfolded, and the invisible storm field slowly condensed and gathered, turning into a rising arc barrier.
"Go and see tomorrow's dawn for me."
Fengchuan Xiu roared and pulled out the Lan. The strong wind swept through the sky of Takama-ga-hara like a sharp knife, revealing the towering [End] like a mountain in front of everyone.
Endless blood light was like millions of sharp blades cutting through the area of the wind. It was just a protective mechanism outside Takama-ga-hara, but it was enough to completely destroy Izumo.
"Walk."
Annie, dressed in white, walked in front, without even the slightest hesitation, walking straight on the road ahead.
The ground where she passed was covered with a pale blue curtain of light forming the Ladder of Truth leading to the sky. She created whatever she wanted in her heart like a true god.
Ying looked at Feng Chuanxiu speechlessly, and then followed behind Annie, with a sword and a knife hanging on her waist, both like the ice-blue cherry blossoms blooming in the cold winter, resolute and firm.
There is no reason to look back, and no time to retreat.
Mei bit her lower lip tightly and felt the burden on her shoulders become heavier. So this was the feeling of carrying the world on her back. Even her breathing began to tremble.
No one knows whether tomorrow's dawn will come.
It was ten Amber Age ago that Izumo last saw the real sun.
All people can do is believe that the fate of the entire planet rests on the shoulders of a few people and witness the outcome of salvation.
No vows, no retreat, only moving forward.
The ladder of truth was like the blade of a sword inserted into Takamagahara, and they were the tip of the sword heading for the heart.
An Ming stopped at the end of the team, turned around and looked at Feng Chuanxiu, "Take care."
Feng Chuanxiu was slightly startled, and a smile appeared on the corner of his blood-stained mouth under his helmet.
"Goodbye."
