A World Worth Protecting

You are evil.

This is one of my favorite words that the girl owner said.

But I think I am innocent, because my life is different from theirs. As a weapon, I think my destiny should not be a decoration.

But my girl owner said that I was quibbling.

It’s okay, as an old guy, I don’t care about a little girl’s opinion, but I don’t know why, when she says I’m evil, I’m a little unhappy, so I think... I will not eat her first, I will look at her Holding me in my hand, step by step toward the same evil as me.

I will succeed.

But... Compared to her saying that I am evil, what I dislike is the look in her eyes. The look is pure, like a mirror, allowing me to see myself in it... At the same time, there is compassion in that look. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I hate pity and purity. I want to eat her.

But I held back it. I wanted to see, the day when she became like me, would there be such compassion in her eyes, or would she still be so pure as starlight in her eyes.

In the first year, I failed.

I didn't expect that after she became my master, she didn't use any of my strength, let alone slaughter any lives, even if she had been unhappy this year.

In the second year, it was the same. Until the fifth year, I couldn’t stand the days without food. There was an indescribable bloodthirsty in my body. It turned into hunger and made me crazy to destroy everything. Once in her eyes, I saw purity and compassion, but I couldn't forget what she said to me at that time.

"Do you have to kill?"

"I'm hungry!"

"I understand."

After our conversation, my master cut his wrist and dyed my body red with her blood. I greedily sucked her blood, and the sweetness inside made me obsessed, until I watched her more Looking at the withering face and the constant gaze, I was suddenly a little scared.

What are you afraid of... I don't know, but for the first time in my life, I restrained my instincts. I was silent, and I hated this purity even more. I told myself that I must see the day when her eyes change.

On this day, I thought I would bring it soon, because in the ninth year of her becoming my master, the sect she was in was invaded by a group of demons and slaughtered the entire sect.

When she brought me back, she looked tremblingly at the ruins and the remains of countless familiar people. She cried. At that moment, I told her that I could help her revenge. As long as she allowed me to explode my power, I could help her. Kill all, even go to the other side's small world, to bury with countless lives.

I keep tempting and guiding, but I don't understand why I failed.

She did not choose to use me, but left silently, but for a moment, I clearly felt a strong emotional fluctuation in her.

The same was true for the following days. In the thirty-seventh year, one of her pet beasts was brutally killed, and she remained silent. In sixty-five years, an old friend of hers died tragically, and she remained the same.

Time after life and death parting, time after time injustice, and time after time in the gloom of the world, she was exhausted all the way, but her eyes never changed.

Even too many times in these years, if my force field instinctively disperses and saves her from some danger, I am afraid she is dead.

I didn't understand, so I finally couldn't help it and asked her.

"why did you do this?"

"Because I owe you, I don't want you to kill again, even if I am sad, even if I want revenge, even if I feel that being alive is a torture, but for me, the most important thing... is you." Answer, I don't believe it.

But my desire to see her eyes change is stronger, so I restrained my hunger and only let her dye me red with blood every ten years. In this way, with such persistence, I and She traveled all over the starry sky.

Perhaps it was an accident, perhaps my guidance, or perhaps her destiny. In the years that followed, her life was miserable, helpless again and again, and lost again and again, every time I would tell her , As long as I am allowed to take action, I can change everything about her.

But until her hair turned white, my wish was still not fulfilled.

Until one day, she died.

Looking at her body, I should be happy and happy, because I am free from now on, can continue to kill, continue to swallow, no one will restrain me, nor will I see the eyes and compassion that disgust me.

But... why should I self-seal the memory of that day.

I don't know why, but after her death, I became silent, and there seemed to be an emotion that could not be sealed in my heart, which was heavy and heavy, pressing on me.

Under such emotions, I am a little uncomfortable with the killing. I don’t want to admit it, but I have to admit that that girl, with her company for hundreds of years, has influenced me and made me even in the rest of my life. I met countless masters, but more and more masters took the initiative to abandon me.

Because I don't kill anymore, because my blade has been rolled, because my mood is low, because my strength... also gradually dissipates as the mood diffuses.

Ten thousand years later, I am no longer a demon soldier, but turned into an iron.

My body began to be covered with rust spots, my ignorance became a thing of the past, my body was decayed, and my life... seemed to be gradually disappearing.

I didn't understand why this happened, until the moment when my life was completely dissipated, I sealed it off, and the memory of that day that I had forgotten appeared before my eyes.

On the red mountain, she was lying there, stroking me while looking at the stars. Although she was covered with white hair and wrinkles on her face, her eyes were still pure.

"What are you looking at?" I asked.

"Look at the stars."

"It's pitch black, what's so good about it."

"In my heart, the darkness is the world, and the starry sky has the brightest light."

"I don't understand."

"Then watch it more, watch it for a hundred years, watch it for a thousand years... If you can't finish it in this life, continue to watch it in the next life. One day, you will understand."

"I have an afterlife? I don't know if my afterlife will be a stronger soldier!"

"Do you know zombies... born of grievances, living in the dark forever, I am with you, this is my atonement."

"Atonement... Why do you always say that you owe me?" I was silent for a long time and asked.

But there is no answer. Her blood has stained my body. This time she didn't keep it. Maybe... I forgot to restrain myself.

Or...not maybe.

It was me who killed her.

I looked at her body and was silent for a long, long time...I finally knew that it was not her that I sealed, but that sentence.

"I will be with you."

I finally understand that I have always been... lonely, from the moment I was born, to the present day.

I finally understood that she, the one I was always waiting for, at the moment I killed her, my own life was gone.

With the emergence of memories, I tried to lift up the rotten blade, and tried to look towards the stars...

Tears unknowingly flowed down, not on the magic blade that appeared in memory, but in Wang Baole's eyes, his eyes, in this cross-legged meditation, no longer opened.

As it opened, an endless swallowing meaning burst out in his soul, causing the swallowing seed in his body to be completely suppressed at this moment. The swallowing path in the nine rules rose in an instant in resonance. , Until it reached the same 90% as Guangdao!

But these can't bring the slightest feeling to Wang Baole. At this moment, he lowered his head blankly, looked at his hands, and muttered...

"Previous life...does all of this really exist? Why does my previous life... contain cause and effect... and she who has always existed..."

Wang Baole was silent, and suddenly raised his right hand with a wave. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared on his right hand, and the magic blade of the previous life...was looming!
