Chapter 225 "Beginning" and "End" (4k)
Listening to Huang Quan's somewhat unreliable remarks, the corners of Wu Xuan's mouth twitched slightly.
"Are you serious?"
Wu Xuan regretted saying this. There was no way Huang Quan's serious expression was fake. Wasn't he just making things difficult for Huang Quan by saying this?
But Huang Quan himself didn't care about it. He nodded slightly and walked towards the wooden house with an umbrella.
"Even if those memories are not buried deep in my consciousness... I don't think these things can help us."
Having said that, Huang Quan raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky. Looking at the gray haze, he seemed to have returned to that rainy night.
"Many things that happened in this world are different from what I remember."
After saying this like a dream, Huang Quan turned around and looked at Wu Xuan in front of him. A strange look flashed in his purple eyes.
"Have we... met somewhere?"
When Wu Xuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
What does "Have you seen me somewhere before" mean? We have been together for half a year, why would you suddenly say something like this... that makes me feel dizzy?
"We must have met before somewhere. Not in this Izumo, but... in reality."
As if he saw the doubt in Wu Xuan's eyes, Huang Quan continued to add.
Wu Xuan just shook his head.
"I don't have much impression of you, Miss Huang Quan, otherwise I would have pointed out the problem of our identities the first time I saw you, right?"
He was absolutely sure of this, he had never seen the underworld.
Absolutely not.
Huang Quan nodded slightly when he heard this, and then stopped talking.
Two people stood in the courtyard holding oil-paper umbrellas, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella and the grass, as if waiting for something.
It also seemed like he was just in a daze.
Amid the sound of rain, Wu Xuan saw the familiar light curtain.
[Main quest (5/7) "Kill Again" completed]
[Quest Reward: "Flame of Wrath"]
[It is detected that the player Wu Xuan has both the "Angry Flame" and "Angry Flame" talents under the anger branch. The special talent "Anger" will be released soon. 】
[It has been detected that the number of cherry blossom trees created by player Wu Xuan for killing the "Evil God" has reached fifteen, and the red talent "Sakura Rain Sword Dance" is officially unlocked. ]
[It is detected that the fifth main task has been completed, and the subsequent tasks will be automatically accepted]
Almost at the same time as the light curtain appeared, the rain curtain outside the wooden house door was suddenly broken, and a silver-white spaceship dropped from the sky. Several scientific researchers rushed out of it, pulled out the knife on the ground and left.
Hearing the noise, Wu Xuan and Huang Quan subconsciously looked back and found that the gang had only pulled out the remaining hilt of the knife... A gloomy look flashed in their eyes.
He originally didn't quite understand what Elle said, but now he finally understood.
What these people want to do is to raise Gu through them.
The "Eight Million Gods" of Takama-ga-hara and the "Twelve Sword-wielding Men" of Izumo fought endlessly, and in the end, the "Twelve Sword-wielding Men" were the winner.
This means that the power they possess is greater than that of Takamagahara, but something unexpected happened next.
The "Knife-wielding Man" was transformed into a demon because of the power of "nothingness" in his long life, which eventually led to a fight between the "Twelve Knife-wielding Men". In the end...
He and Huang Quan are the two strongest and most stable ones left, which means...they may be the ones facing the fight next.
But Wu Xuan knew very well that given his and Huang Quan’s current state, even if Izumo was truly destroyed in front of them... they would not be swallowed by "nothingness".
"So...what exactly do they want to do?"
After Wu Xuan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Huang Quan, wanting to get a definite answer from her.
Huang Quan still stared blankly at the gray sky. After a long silence, he continued:
"Do you know why Izumo wants to forge swords?"
Wu Xuan was slightly stunned, and then began to recall those memories that did not essentially belong to him. After a moment, he said:
"Because a long time ago, the 'Eight Million Gods' from Takamagahara descended on Izumo, killing people and bringing disaster to the world."
"In order to save the world, the Izumo Kingdom broke 733 swords and forged them into a sacred sword called the "World Protection Sword"... twelve names. "
At this point, Wu Xuan suddenly fell silent. He looked at Huang Quan beside him. There was no desire to express himself in his purple eyes, nor was there any desire to interrupt his thoughts.
——Just like waiting for his next move.
"Tell me their names... Perhaps only in this way can you free yourself from the shackles and fetters on your body."
Huang Quan's words made Wu Xuan realize something. His black eyes drooped slightly, and countless memories of his time with those companions seemed to flash before his eyes.
After a long silence, as if he had prepared himself mentally, Wu Xuan slowly spoke in the rain:
"The first is "True", which was forged by the "Tumukari God". It can enable mortals to see the law and deconstruct all things to recreate miracles."
"The second one is "Sky". If you cut the one made of "Tian Chang Li Zun", you can turn the sky into a wall, making it difficult for the gods of Huojin to pass through."
"The third is Ming, which was forged by the "Takemiya Thunder God". It can cause lightning to tear the sky apart, and the stars and thunder will strike and punish the sky."
"The fourth is 'Rain', which was forged by 'Shinatohiko'. It can cause the wind to break the earth, and the clouds to rush and the rain to whistle and the wind to rage endlessly."
"The fifth is "Frost", which is made by cutting the "Winter Cloth of Heaven". It can make the seasons freeze and freeze, and the frozen earth will never pass away in an instant."
"The sixth is "Life", which is made by cutting the "Stone Chang Bi Mai". It can make a desolate tomb full of flowers, and the cycle of life and death will disappear without a trace."
"The seventh is... "Fierce", which is made by "Kagutsuchi-no-Mikoto". It can make the blazing fire burn the world, and the blazing flames will burn the sky and set the field ablaze."
"The eighth is "awakening", which is made of "eight intentions and intentions". It can make the water mirror reflect the past and know the future, without seeing the false and the real for thousands of years."
"The ninth is the 'foundation', which was forged by 'Oyama Tsunami'. It can make the islands hang high in the sky, and the mountains and the earth will crack and shatter in front of the formation."
"The tenth is "Thousand", which is made of "Great Self and Noble Life". It can make all the people connect into a network, with countless shadows rising and falling."
"Eleven is "Bundle", cut off the "Just Stop God" forged, it can make all the stray paths into the cage, and all evil spirits and evils are gone within a few feet."
"Twelve is "Ghoul", which was made by killing "Eighty Wrongs". It can make the world corrode and decay, and gods and ghosts can't tell the difference between the four souls."
After saying these words, Wu Xuan took a deep breath. He felt his face was hot, and he didn't know whether it was from the rain or his own tears.
"With these twelve swords, we hold the hope for tomorrow and win victory after victory, until—"
"They were all broken off."
Huang Quan told Wu Xuan this hard-to-accept fact.
Wu Xuan fell into silence, his oil-paper umbrella slipped from his hand, and the rain mercilessly hit his body, just like... when Izumo was destroyed.
However, what the two of them didn't know was that... as Wu Xuan spoke out the names of one "World-Protecting Sword" after another and the names of his former companions, the broken swords that were imprisoned in the special force field gradually began to tremble, and finally... turned into streams of light and flew towards the courtyard.
Ten streams of light of different colors streaked across the sky, shining with unique brilliance.
Of course, these ten rays of light look beautiful at first glance, but the price behind this beauty is the chaotic communication channel of the research base.
The researchers kept reporting the problems they were facing. The broken blades had broken through containment and they had no way to deal with them.
"Teacher! The broken blade of "True" has broken through containment!"
"The broken blade of "Sky" lost control and flew out of the research base!"
"The remaining blade of "Lan" exploded into a violent storm, the damage to the research base reached 30%, and the remaining blade was out of control!"
"The remaining blade of "Frost" froze the entire laboratory, and all 32 researchers... were killed!"
"The remnant of "Life" broke through the blockade on the way to the shelter, and no one was injured!"
……
But for Huang Quan and Wu Xuan, none of this matters.
Or rather... they don't need to feel that it's important.
After all, if it weren't for them, the "Eight Million Gods" of Takama-ga-hara would have eaten up their ancestors long ago, and their chilling actions...it's time they paid the price.
Huang Quan held up an oil-paper umbrella and looked at Wu Xuan who was standing in the rain with his head down, as if he was remembering his past.
At that time, she was just like him, standing in the rain, waiting for a future that would never come.
After a while, Huang Quan sighed slightly and then said:
"The price of every victory is the entire world."
"And in the end, all of this was lost."
Huang Quan's voice was very calm, as if she didn't have any emotion at all.
"Our opponents have never been the 'Eight Million Gods' or the 'profit-driven rulers', but... the Star Gods."
Huang Quan spoke out this somewhat horrifying fact as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him, and Wu Xuan... raised his head at this moment.
[Main Quest (6/7) "The Truth Behind the Sword of the Protectorate"]
【Task Description: Listen】
[Task Reward: "Wedge" x1]
[Task penalty: none]
[“Wedge”: It’s just a wedge planted from the beginning. You know what it will be used for.]
After looking at the light screen in front of him, Wu Xuan slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said: "Continue..."
Huang Quan nodded slightly, and continued: "Izumo and Takama-ga-hara are twin stars, but Takama-ga-hara is closer to Black Sun... that is, the Void Star God."
"The closer the distance, the easier it is for the people above to be infected by "nothingness", and eventually turn into those irrational evil spirits, and for the Izumo people... they are the "Eight Million Gods"."
"But this is the common opinion of the top leaders of both Izumo and Takamagahara."
"Let the Izumo people grow in crisis, give birth to warriors who are more rational and stronger than the "Eight Million Gods", and finally catalyze them to achieve the goal of destroying the Black Sun."
"But they are wrong. It is not a gravitational black hole or a celestial body at all. It is a star god."
"How can human power... compete with the Star God?"
Having said that, Huang Quan raised his head slightly, looked at the ten broken blades falling from the sky, sighed slightly, then threw aside the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, took five of the ten broken blades in front of him, and then pulled out "Ming".
As the purple sword in Huang Quan's hand continued to tremble, it eventually broke into pieces spontaneously, becoming a broken blade.
"Since they became demons, they have been studying the truth behind everything, and finally discovered... they are facing a Star God."
"As the distance between Izumo and the Black Sun continues to shorten, everyone in this world is being infected by "nothingness" bit by bit."
"And we, the twelve 'Knife-wielders', are originally using the power of 'nothingness' to fight. Naturally, the depth of our influence is much higher than that of ordinary people."
"The Izumo top brass is facing a dead end. It's a dead end from beginning to end."
"The path to salvation did not exist from the beginning, so they could only gamble everything on it."
As Huang Quan spoke, he threw the "Ming" in his hand into the five broken blades that had just been placed in front of him.
It seems that because "Mira" still has an owner, its broken blade and those fragments are surrounded by the other five broken blades, as if some mysterious ceremony is being held.
"Ever since the 'True' incident, they have been looking for ways to increase the power of the 'World Protection Sword'."
"But they don't know that all these powers come from the sword of "nothingness" and it is actually one and the same."
"Izumo Kingdom broke twelve swords, and finally forged the "Fushi Zhaodao", the second name."
Wu Xuan looked at the five broken blades that were also floating in front of him, and was stunned for a moment, but he finally pulled his "Lie" out of the scabbard.
Like Huang Quan's "Ming", Lie began to vibrate continuously, then shattered, and was finally surrounded by the remaining broken blades.
“The first is the beginning, the second is the end.”
Huang Quan opened her cherry lips slightly, and almost at the same time, a black light burst out from her body. That light was like the end of everything, mercilessly devouring everything around it.
The "Ming" in the center of the black light was also disappearing bit by bit, and those broken blades also turned into black light spots, rushing into the "Ming" in the center without hesitation.
The "Ming" that was gradually disappearing in the black light suddenly changed at this moment.
The broken blade gradually reassembled, and a pitch-black sword reappeared in the black light.
"This is the second of the "Sword of the Emperor", "The End". "
Huang Quan spoke calmly, as if he was telling a fact that had nothing to do with him.
The next second, the black light near "End" gradually became dim and weak, while the blade of "End" became more solid.
Almost at the moment when it was "finally" formed, the sword in front of Wu Xuan also began a new round of reorganization.
Those broken blades turned into white light, emitting a gentle breath and gradually merged into "Lie" and its fragments.
As the white light gradually dissipated, a pure white sword emitting a pure aura was suspended in front of Wu Xuan.
The name of the knife also appeared in his mind, just as Huang Quan said -
"beginning"
