The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

“\u0026amp;amp;amp;%￥#@￥ # % # %\u0026amp;amp;amp;……”

Countless weird syllables came out of Hua's mouth. These syllables did not have any specific meaning, and it was not impossible to record them in words, but she felt it was not necessary.

These syllables are like the words engraved on a stone tablet. Five thousand years of wind and rain are not enough to wear them down even a bit.

“*\u0026amp;amp;amp;￥%#@￥%*……”

Hua continued to chant the divine music in a low voice. During the first countless nights, the divine music was her only companion.

She is different from Kevin. Kevin has been unable to sleep due to the commandments, but she is not the same. She has the right to choose to sleep, but perhaps due to the influence of Yu Duchen, once she falls asleep, the original " "Hua" recorded memories.

A lengthy memory that does not belong to her now.

A memory that is full of confusion, pain, loss, despair... and therefore becomes unbearable to look back on.

Compared to these... she decided to stay with Shenyin. Anyway, with the physique of a fusion warrior, it's not a big deal if she doesn't sleep. She is just mentally exhausted, but just get used to it.

This situation has been greatly alleviated in the past few hundred years. After all, such a long time has passed, and the resentment in those memories has gradually dissipated, and she can sleep like a normal person...

But not tonight.

"Waiting for me?"

Hua opened his eyes, and the candlelight around him swung forward, and another figure appeared on the ground.

Hua didn't feel too surprised about this. From the first moment she saw Otto on the Kipchak grassland, she noticed something unusual.

After all, with Yu Duchen, she is also half the Herrscher of Consciousness, so how can she not see that there is a second consciousness in Otto's body?

But this is also due to someone who didn't want to hide at all, or in other words, his original intention was to expose himself. But it was only for Yu Hua. When Su arrived, he simply used a blind trick to get over.

If someone's behavior hadn't been so obvious, Hua wouldn't have changed his mind midway and brought the three Rakshasa people back.

"So...this is your arrangement? You know that I will be confused by this. To be on the safe side, I will definitely bring the Rakshasa man back to Taixu Mountain. Then you can tell my disciples through the Rakshasa man's mouth Some truth?"

"How about it, it can be considered exciting, right?"

Feeling the body temperature coming from behind, Hua felt inexplicably irritable:

"You said five thousand years ago not to interfere in this matter!"

"Yes, no matter it is your wish or my own wish, I originally did not want to personally intervene in this matter. But five thousand years ago, after I showed you the 'future disaster', who said that I have the ability to avoid this? Doomed?"

Hua fell silent under Mikael's rhetorical question. After a while, she spoke again:

"But I also said that even if this disaster cannot be avoided, it is a disaster that I deserve, and you don't have to do anything extra."

"Yes, yes, it's unnecessary for me. It's not like I haven't tried to seal myself to the moon and sleep for thousands of years, but... you want me to watch you get hurt, even though I have the ability to stop it, but I don't do anything. I can not do it."

"well……"

Hua sighed. If it were her in the past, she would definitely be moved by what the other party said. No, it's not that she's not touched now, it's just... due to the lack of memory, she always feels that the object of Mikael's concern is not her, but the self in her memory who is obviously herself, but has nothing to do with her current self.

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, there is no need for me and them to be at war with each other."

The simplest way, if back then, after seeing the disaster she would face in the future, she did not hold her breath and bet with Mikael, but let Pado and Ying act with her, what would happen? It won't be so bad, right? Both of them were very good at getting along with children, but she was the only one who knew nothing about it.

"I didn't expect that I lost in the end. It's a pity...Mikael, when will you tell me the answer - what is your goal, and you are willing to destroy the world you originally risked your life to protect?"

"oh?"

Mikael let out a light sigh. The two met again for the first time in thousands of years. Their thoughts were inevitably a little confused, because there were too many words stuck in their throats, and some of them were eager to jump out.

He sat cross-legged behind Hua, stretched out his hand to untie the hairpin on her head, and let a piece of black hair fall down like a waterfall, and then something was in his hand.

He held the thick long hair in his hand, first combed it briefly with a sparse wooden comb, and then used a bamboo grate to clean off the hair dirt. Of course, for Hua, whose metabolism was almost stagnant, hair dirt was not something that could be dealt with at all. Doesn't exist.

But Mikael did not skip this step. For beings like them who have lived for too long, these seemingly meaningless or even waste of time behaviors can often bring half a moment of peace and tranquility to their hearts. peaceful.

At the very least, they can feel that they are a "human being".

After combing his hair, Mikael held a handful of hair in his hand, weighed it, and joked softly:

"How many years has it been since you had a haircut? Isn't it too long and heavy? Isn't your neck sore?"

Hua didn't speak. She raised her right hand, and a key of control, now given the new name of "Xuanyuan Sword", appeared out of thin air in her hand.

Mikael's movements froze in place, but the next moment, Hua flipped his wrist and handed the hilt of the sword to Mikael.

"I thought you wanted to fight with me."

Mikael sneered twice, took the sword and cut off Hua Man's hair with a swipe of his hand. He put down the remaining hair and saw that the neat break was just hanging down to his waist. Then he nodded with satisfaction and handed the sword back to Hua's hand.

After that, he quietly said:

"Hua, I won't fall for such a simple provocation. Of course, if the winner of this bet is you, I will naturally not break my promise. Unfortunately, this is not the case - if I hadn't messed up everything, you would be dead now. It’s in the sarcophagus. Besides, I’m not sure what will happen tomorrow morning.”

Hua sneered:

"I'm afraid even if I am the winner of the bet, you will still use various excuses to excuse me."

Mikael laughed out loud and shook his head angrily:

"I've told you, Hua, don't use simple provoking methods, it's useless to me. Besides, let me tell you the truth, the reason why I dare to make this bet with you is because of this fate."

"Fate...is this."

Hua chewed the word carefully, her eyes suddenly widened, and then turned around angrily to look at Mikael:

"Didn't you say...didn't you say that Alicia used her own dissipation to cut off her destiny?"

Hua was so excited that he reached out to grab Mikael's collar. Mikael leaned back instinctively, but the space in the so-called main hall was also very narrow, and the back of his head accidentally hit the wall. Hua didn't expect him. He would stop suddenly, as if he was leaning forward and throwing himself into his arms.

Such a coincidence, both of them were stunned.

After a while, Mikael glanced over. Hua held his shoulders with both hands and straightened his upper body again. The two looked at each other again, with their eyes flickering, and they tacitly agreed not to mention the previous embarrassment.

"Indeed."

Mikael stared at the plain white cotton blanket without any patterns on the bed, and nodded slightly.

"But what Alicia has cut off is only the tangible destiny, the invisible destiny. It still exists and will affect the world forever."

"What's the meaning……"

As soon as Hua opened his mouth, he realized something.

"Yes, that's right, that's it. To borrow the words that Kevin always says - a person's character is his destiny. This is true for a person, and so is human civilization as an abstract concept. in this way."

"What do you want to say?"

Mikael's appearance was like a stone hitting her heart, causing ripples in circles, which turned into external actions and made her excited for a moment before, but it was only It only lasted a moment. When she turned around and looked again, her inner lake was a flat mirror again.

Therefore, even if the words looked similar to "questioning" in writing, when she spoke them out, they seemed to turn into a faint inquiry:

"Are you trying to say that human civilization is bound to be destroyed because of human nature?"

"No no no no."

Mikael quickly shook his head in denial, "I was just discussing the matter. I thought this was bound to happen from the beginning, because I know you and I know them. As long as your character remains unchanged, your behavior will not change." How big the change is. I may not be able to predict a specific behavior, but the overall trend will not change.”

Hua didn't speak, and Mikael didn't mean to stop:

"Take this matter as an example. With your personality, you already feel guilty for the children whose parents died in your hands. Furthermore, considering that your home used to be a boxing gym, your father's image of teaching his apprentices must have left a mark on you. The indelible impression, even if the memory has been lost, still leaves traces in the subconscious. In this case, when you find that there are extremely talented people among these children, it is inevitable that you will accept them as disciples. Besides, you are alone. After being alone for five thousand years, you must be very lonely, and you really want someone to accompany you. "

There was a hint of sarcasm in Mikael's smile:

"Then you discover that after five thousand years of loneliness... No, you are not lonely in these five thousand years. You have met countless people, but they are different from you. You look at them You get older year by year, but your appearance remains the same. You watch them leave one by one before you, so your heart takes the most natural defense measure - closing your heart, as long as you no longer have in-depth contact with people from now on, as long as No more deep connections, so you won't be too sad when they die.

"But in the eyes of your disciples, at best, they are called 'too much to forget their feelings'; at worst, they think you just use them as a tool to subjugate demons, nothing more. If you talk about parents Revenge is a powder keg buried deep in the depths of memory, so your superficial attitude of alienation towards them is to dig out this bucket. As for the Honkai Disease of your four disciples, it is the fire that can ignite the powder keg. "

Listening to Mikael's words, Hua Momo closed his eyes:

"But, they obviously have other choices. If they have doubts, they can come and ask me... come and confront me, right? Why do they have to betray me and kill me?"

"Isn't this obvious?"

Mikael spread his hands: "Throwing away the variables in personality, the most important reason is nothing more than fear. To your disciples, you are a lofty and unfeeling true immortal. They consciously disagree with your emotions. If you are not close, they don't feel that they have an important position in your heart. In terms of strength, you are a true immortal who has lived for thousands of years, and they are just mortals who were lucky enough to get some of your inheritance. There is a huge gap. Make them feel afraid that they will be killed by you if they reveal their inner rebellious thoughts...

"But, Hua, if you think about it carefully, it's not like they haven't negotiated with you, right? It's just that every time they ask you why you are possessed by the devil and must be killed, you will be afraid of being too affectionate and instinctively escape. And this instinct In their eyes, escaping is evidence of growing alienation - either saying "you don't need to know this" with a straight face, or saying nothing with an expressionless face. You don't even dare to take care of these disciples yourself, but let Chao Yu. Take care of it for you... You don't even dare to tell Wanru that Taixu sword energy is the only way to fight against the obsession.

"But is this kind of escape really useful? If you are really too forgetful, you will not deliberately alienate yourself. From a psychological point of view, behaviors that a person repeatedly warns himself not to do will often It becomes an inevitable choice when it comes to subconscious actions. Besides, can the connection between people really be cut off? Apart from anything else, at least Chaoyu is the one you brought up since childhood. How could you have no feelings for her? If you really have no feelings for your disciples, you won't care about their betrayal, so why do you stay awake all night?"

"So... from your perspective, this is how I behave. Have you been looking at me all these years? Then it's all my fault?"

Hua's voice was neither sad nor bitter, just a little tired.

"No, the reason why I understand so well is not...Besides, this is not a 'no', because all of us are like this. You are like this, I am like this, Mebius is like this, Sakura is like this, Kevin and Su are like this, and the only difference is probably the heartless Pado. In fact, if you didn't make this bet in the first place, but stayed with us...well, you may not be able to escape loneliness. , except for Pado, none of us could do it, and she was just used to being alone before that."

"Is this also...an invisible fate?"

Mikael shrugged and did not answer the question directly:

"Tangible destiny also requires power as a reliance, but if a person knows enough about another person's character, he can predict his fate based on this 'understanding'. Even if he knows enough about a person's character , it is not difficult to control his destiny. Just like now, although I do not have the ability to weave destiny, I just used some tricks to let you take me back to Taixu Mountain, and borrowed the power of Otto. Even if they still decide to kill you, I can easily change your fate.

"So, although the visible shackles have long since dissipated, the invisible shackles still tightly bind each of us. As long as we are in this sky, it is a huge prison, and everyone under it is a prisoner. That's all. That’s all.”

"What exactly are you trying to... imply?"

"I just said it casually."

Mikael shrugged and continued:

"Hua, you can also erase that hostility. I know you can't forgive me for my choice to reincarnate in the world in the end. Well, you think I destroyed our civilization... Haha, is that really true? You and Kevin They are different. You should know very well that I didn’t kill anyone, including the ordinary warriors of Fire Chasing Moth.”

Hua didn't know how to respond, so he could only let Mikael continue talking:

"If I have to say it, does it really make a difference whether I reincarnate or not? Even if I didn't do that, wouldn't what you have to do now be the same..."

"Mikael."

Hua suddenly interrupted his tirade.

"You also said that you were not trying to prevaricate me. Do you think that I don't understand what you are talking about? Maybe I didn't understand it when I first woke up five thousand years ago, but now I have five thousand years to , it’s time to figure this out.”

Hua bit her lip and looked at Mikael without hesitation.

"You know what I want to know, you just don't want to answer, or you are perfunctory - Mikael, what do you want to do after you go to so much trouble?"

Mikael shook his head repeatedly. He didn't want to continue talking, but after thinking about it, he finally couldn't help but speak:

"You don't need to know. Of course, if you ask again, I can only say - I can't say."

"well……"

As Hua sighed, the candlelight in the room swayed violently.

"Mikael, is there any difference between your answer and what you said before about my answer to my disciple?"

"No."

This time, Mikael responded very simply.

"There is no difference at all. You are avoiding contact with your disciple, and I am also avoiding having more contact with you, although... our starting points may be different."

Hua bit her lip twice, and unconsciously smoothed her hair on her temples. She felt that she understood the meaning of Mikael's words, but unfortunately, that "she" was her in the past, and she was doing this now. Less than that.

However, Mikael smiled again at this moment:

"Actually, I don't have to hide it from everyone. There are some things I can't say in direct language, because once the wish is spoken, it will not work. But as I said before, the more I warn myself in my heart If you can't say it out loud, you will reveal your motives in other ways... If you think about it carefully, you should be able to understand... Anyway, time is always enough for us. "

Hua pursed his lips, but finally said nothing.

"Reveal... destiny, character..."

The light and shadow around them suddenly brightened up, and the two sat face to face looking at each other for a long time, until a cockcrow announced the end of the night.

As if they had reached an agreement, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the house. In the gray light of the early morning, Lin Chaoyu's figure was seen frozen under the window outside the door.

She slapped the door hard without scruples and shouted loudly:

"Master! Fourth sister is dying!"

Hua felt a pain in his heart, unspeakable sadness quickly spread from his heart to his whole body, and all his strength seemed to have been drained away.

"This has already happened, is it still going to happen..."

In a daze, she felt as if she had fallen into Mikael's arms, and then she heard Mikael calmly reply in a voice exactly like hers:

"I know, I'll come as soon as I finish reciting this section."
