Chapter 678
"Hehe~ This can be considered a beautiful story, right?" Mimi turned lightly in the air, then put her hands on her hips and looked proudly at Bai'e and Xilian who were standing side by side below, "After all, the childhood sweetheart who was killed by my own hands back then is now standing alive in front of you." Mimi's voice echoed in the space where the fog had slightly dissipated, with a hint of playfulness and emotion.
"But it's all thanks to me!" Mimi said, and suddenly jumped up, then raised his head proudly, as if waiting for praise.
"Yes, yes, thanks to you." Bai E's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
At this moment, he had just experienced the reconciliation with Xi Lian and the fierce battle with the black shadow. Although he was physically and mentally exhausted, he felt an unprecedented peace and determination in his heart.
"Come to think of it, Xilian, what really happened at that time... can't you really tell me?" Bai E slightly turned sideways, gently took Xilian's hand, his eyes full of earnestness.
Xilian lowered her head slightly, her lips trembling slightly, as if she was hesitating about how to start speaking.
After a long while, she slowly raised her head, a trace of struggle flashing in her eyes, "Xiao Bai'er, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but that past involves too much. Once it is revealed, it may bring more unpredictable troubles."
Bai E gently held Xi Lian's hand, his eyes fixed on her the whole time, "Xi Lian, we have been through so much, is there any difficulty we cannot face? I just don't want to be kept in the dark anymore, I want to know everything about you, about everything we had in the past."
Mimi watched the two of them quietly from the side, and seemed to be infected by the solemn atmosphere.
It slowly floated down and stopped in front of Bai'e, and said softly, "Xi Lian, Bai'e really wants to know, just tell him."
Xi Lian took a deep breath, nodded, and then looked at the ruins.
"In fact, there was an irresistible force behind the fire and your parents' arrest."
"I sensed the danger at the time and wanted to warn you, but I couldn't reveal too much for fear of bringing you more trouble." She paused, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes, "When I saw you losing your mind and rushing towards me with a sword, I knew that everything was irreversible, but I also knew that only by going through all this can you truly grow and be able to face greater challenges in the future."
Bai E listened quietly, feeling mixed emotions.
He recalled the desperate and helpless self he was back then, and then looked at Xi Lian who silently endured everything for him, "What happened next? How did you survive? And why are you in Mimi's body?" Bai E asked, his eyes full of confusion.
"At that time, after you swung the fatal sword, I should have disappeared from this world, but fate seemed to have other plans."
"A special force captured my soul at a critical moment and sent me to a chaotic void."
“There, the concepts of time and space became blurred. I felt as if I was floating in an endless dark ocean, and my consciousness gradually became blurred.”
"I don't know how long it took, but I sensed Mimi's presence."
"When I woke up again, it was when we just met." Xilian explained.
"Then...what exactly is that special power you mentioned?" Bai E asked.
"Remember those goblins? You lost a lot of wooden swords to them."
"Actually... those goblins are here to monitor you, and I... have been asked by them to train someone to save the world."
"Why...are they doing this?" Bai'e was very puzzled.
"According to their prophecies, the world will fall into an unprecedented disaster. Only by finding someone with special abilities and training him to be the savior can we break the impending crisis. And you, Bai'e, are the chosen one."
"But I think... they come from outer space." Xilian explained.
"They have a unique aura that is definitely not from our world. Every move they make reveals their transcendence of the rules of our world, as if they came from another dimension, another time and space."
"Beyond the sky..." Bai E murmured to himself. This word was still too far away.
"What was the prophecy of Kephar?"
"I guess those little fairies from outer space probably know the entire content of Kephar's prophecy, and they chose you to try to rewrite this terrible ending."
"Perhaps they came from a civilization that knew many of the mysteries of the universe, saw the omen of the impending disaster, and so traveled across endless time and space to come to our world."
"They possess technology and wisdom far beyond our understanding. Perhaps in their eyes, our world, although insignificant, is also an indispensable part of the order of the universe. Once this disaster breaks out, it may not only affect us, but may also affect the balance of the entire universe."
"Why should they help us?" Bai'e asked.
In his opinion, he was just an insignificant existence in this vast world. Why should he spend so much energy to interfere with the fate of those mysterious creatures from far away space?
Xi Lian was silent for a moment, as if considering how to explain.
"Maybe..." She spoke slowly, "In their civilization, protecting every world that may be affected by disasters is a mission engraved deep in their souls. Or perhaps, in our world, there are some things that are vital to them. If this disaster happens, those key things will be destroyed, so they must take action. But no matter what the reason is, what we can be sure of now is that they chose you."
"So, time is very tight for us now? Then we have to find the fire of the underworld quickly." Mimi said from the side.
"The fire that carries the world...you haven't found it yet?" Xilian's eyes were full of doubts, and her gaze moved back and forth between Bai'e and Mimi, as if she couldn't believe that this crucial fire had not been found yet.
"Well...it's like this." Bai E nodded slightly, his expression solemn and his voice low. These few simple words seemed to carry a heavy burden, revealing the difficulty and urgency of searching for the fire that carries the world.
Suddenly, Xilian’s mind seemed to be stimulated and he held his forehead.
However, a passage popped up in her mind.
"What! The fire of death is on Kephar! The dawn machine he is holding is the cause of all problems!" Xilian widened his eyes with disbelief, then he suddenly covered his mouth and exclaimed.
"What?!" Bai E was also so shocked that he stood there in a daze. It took him a long time to come back to his senses from this extreme shock.
Suddenly, in the sight of the two, a dazzling light suddenly burst out in front of the huge mountain-like Kephar in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening roar, and the sound waves rolled, as if it could shatter the heaven and earth. The huge impact force stirred up layers of air waves, blowing the surrounding fog like surging waves.
"It's Ohma! Damn, what happened?" Bai'er's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes full of worry and anxiety. He subconsciously clenched his fists, and his joints turned white due to the force.
"We have to hurry back!" Bai E said, and without thinking, he reached out and grabbed Xilian's hand. Xilian was pulled by him and hurried to keep up.
...
Ohma, Dawn Cloud Cliff.
This place is the seat of the Demigod Senate and is also under the jurisdiction of the Senate. It is usually solemn and dignified, exuding an aura of inviolability.
At this moment, the arrival of an uninvited guest instantly broke the tranquility here.
At that moment, Xia suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Nakexia, although this is the Demigod Senate, it is also the territory of the Senate." Katniss stood in front of a group of elders, showing her extraordinary status in the Senate, and looked straight at Nakexia.
The elders around were also on high alert. Some of them had white hair, some had stern faces, and each of them exuded the majesty accumulated over the years.
They were wearing robes of different colors. At this moment, they formed a semicircle, surrounding Na Kexia. Their eyes were full of vigilance, as if they would take action immediately if Na Kexia made the slightest movement.
"What are you doing here?" Katniss continued.
"This is the moment when the Fire Chasing Journey is closest to ending. Get out of the way and don't stop me!" He narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at everyone.
"The Fire Chasing Journey is over? Did you come here just to go crazy?"
"Crazy? No... the one who's crazy is you, you guys!" Xia sneered at that moment, his laughter carrying a hint of sarcasm and anger.
He took a step forward, and his black robe fluttered with his movements, like a burning black flame.
"You think you are protecting the order of the world, but you turn a blind eye to the impending disaster!"
When the elders heard this, they whispered to each other, with expressions of confusion and shock on their faces.
They couldn't believe that this intruder had the audacity to accuse them.
An elder in a scarlet robe stepped forward, his eyes wide open, and shouted, "You lunatic! Stop talking nonsense here!
Na Kexia turned his gaze to the elder in the red robe, "What's your intention? My intention is to save this world! Do you know that the end of the journey of chasing fire is not hope, but destruction! The so-called dawn machine is nothing but a trap that leads to the abyss!"
Katniss's brows furrowed even more tightly, "Where's the evidence? How can you make us believe your unfounded statement?"
Na Kexia raised his head slightly, "Evidence... Have you ever noticed the abnormality of Kefal? The dawn machine in his hand seems to bring light, but in fact it is constantly absorbing the energy of this world."
“When the power is absorbed to a certain extent, the whole world will be doomed! And I have received a revelation from outer space. Only by ending the journey of chasing fire can this terrible cycle be broken!”
At this moment, the sky suddenly changed color, the originally bright dawn was instantly obscured by dark clouds, and the entire Dawn Cloud Cliff fell into darkness.
The wind howled violently, making everyone's robes rustle, and the air was filled with a depressing and tense atmosphere.
In the distance, a huge black beam of light shot up into the sky and pierced the clouds. That was exactly the direction where Kephar was.
"Look! This is the evidence!" Na Kexia pointed at the black beam of light and shouted loudly.
Katniss's expression became very solemn. She turned around and looked at the other elders. She saw hesitation and wavering in their eyes.
"You said to end the fire-chasing journey, how should we do it?"
At that moment, Xia's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile, "Haha... Okay, let the show begin!"
At that moment Xia walked forward.
Although the elders were confused, they still followed, wanting to see what Kexia was trying to do.
"The answer is obvious!" At that moment, Xia suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky covered by dark clouds, and a light of madness and clarity flickered in his eyes.
"I have understood the truth of this world!"
Before he finished speaking, his body burst into a blinding green light, which penetrated the clouds and reached the sky.
The elders were staggered by the air wave, but saw an astonishing scene in the green light.
At that moment, green lines were flowing under Xia's skin, and the face of Cesis was faintly visible - His soul was forcibly merged by him!
"What is this madman...doing?" an elder muttered to himself.
