The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Hello? What's the matter? Yayi, don't say anything... You still think it's irresponsible for us to push the blame like this. Obviously China has such a huge size. If we are willing, we can completely break the polar pattern of destiny and anti-entropy. If we do this in advance Doing it might make the world less tragic, right?"

Su Shang raised her head, and the morning light changed its shape with the caressing of the leaves in the forest, but one or two beams always fell and illuminated her face.

There seemed to be something round and round on the eyelashes, which refracted the sunlight into colorful colors. Su Shang wiped it gently with her hand and lowered her gaze downwards. Although Mei Yi was half a head taller than her, she had just raised her head too high, almost looking up at 90 degrees.

Mei Yi looked away silently, not wanting to give any response.

But under Su Chang's gaze, or perhaps she was still worried that her attitude would affect Kiana's situation here, she still spoke slowly:

"Enough. It's enough. I can understand that doing this is the best choice for China. No, at least what you are doing now is good for China, for the whole world, for Kiana and me. It’s probably the best decision.”

Su Shang smiled slightly, but there was a little melancholy in the smile.

Indeed, as Mei Yi said, the decision she has made now is the best decision that can be expected for everyone.

The most important thing is to maintain the neutral attitude on the surface of China. Although it is impossible for that man to see through her tricks with the wisdom of that man, he also has no choice. There is no prerequisite for taking the initiative to break her face in China. Under this situation, it is impossible for him to destroy the originally stable world structure on his own.

Also, at this point, China has no choice. It can neither continue to indulge Otto's increasingly crazy behavior, nor break the original political structure, allowing mankind to come first in the most important stage of fighting against the collapse. A deadly civil unrest.

Therefore, the decision Li Sushang made at this moment should be extremely correct.

"But this kind of behavior just sounds like the number two villain."

"ah?"

Facing Mei Yi's puzzled eyes, Su Shang just smiled broadly, just smiled.

"When I was a child, I also dreamed of becoming a heroine in the legend. Traveling around the world and fighting for justice. If I had encountered this situation five hundred years ago when I just came down from the mountain, I might just draw a sword to help when there is injustice. But now I have already I can't do it anymore. As for those big principles, about world peace, about fighting against collapse, about the peace of China... I can't even tell whether these are my true thoughts or just an excuse for me to make this decision. ”

"Excuse...what do you mean?"

"Ah... How should I put it? I'm a little embarrassed, Mei. I've lied to you twice now. Since you have obtained information about me from Paduo, you should probably also know that the bishop Tianming and I Good personal relationship.”

Meiyi's lips twitched. Not only did they have a good relationship, she had only stayed in Taixu Mountain for a few days, and she had already heard Taixu Mountain's disciples gossiping behind Youlandale more than once. It was hard for Youlandale. He obviously has such an upright temperament, but he can still hold back and pretend not to hear.

"Hey hey hey! What a strange expression you have!"

Su Shang put her hands on her hips helplessly, and then laughed again.

"The relationship between me and Rakshasa, Otto, is not as close as they say. It's just that when I was traveling around the world, he accompanied me for a while. Although I did go to the Tianming Headquarters many times, well, seventy-seven times in total. , in the five hundred years since I became the head of Taixu, except for the annual mutual visits that have emerged in the past century, we have met in private a total of seventy-seven times. This frequency is not considered frequent, right? "

In terms of universal rationality, it cannot be said that it is frequent, but it should be said that it is unexpectedly rare. But Yayi felt that Sushang must have lied again. If it was really just a not-so-close relationship as she said, how could she keep in mind how many times the two of them had met in the past five hundred years.

Mei Yi's emotional intelligence was not low enough to say these words, she just listened silently, trying to figure out the reason why Su Chang told her this.

"Then...the lie Mr. Su Shang told before was..."

Su Shang's expression suddenly calmed down, her maroon pupils trembled slightly, her right hand instinctively grabbed the wide sleeve robe, but she quickly let go, letting the cold morning breeze carry the sleeves of her clothes to fly freely.

"In fact, the first time I took control of Kiana, the idea that popped into my mind was to hand her over to the Rakshasa people. Of course I know that this is 'wrong', the Rakshasa people... are no longer what they used to be. He is a Rakshasa, and for the goal in his heart, he has become... the kind of villain in the storybook, but I still want to give Kiana to him, he needs Kiana, needs Kiana. To realize his dream, he also promised me that he would let me see the day when his dream comes true.”

"Dream? What dream?"

Putting aside her thoughts of gossip, Meiyi calmed down and quickly grasped the key issue.

"It's not a good dream. It's quite petty. When I first heard it, I felt a little disappointed... Well, I was disappointed because it wasn't a grand ideal. But for girls, what he wants to do is indeed It’s a very romantic thing. I won’t tell you the details, so don’t ask and just wait for the answer, okay?”

"good……"

"Ha! So, this girl later changed her mind, but even this girl herself couldn't tell clearly whether the reason for changing her mind was for the tranquility of China, for the peace of the world, out of sympathy for Kiana, or... Just because...just because I no longer want to see him realize that dream. It doesn't matter anymore. I think, in fact, the above are just excuses. The decision that was completely opposite to my first reaction was just because I didn’t want to compromise my original wishes for another person.

"Although this makes me unable to help but think, if I had such an awareness earlier, could I have stopped him before things were irreversible? I don't regret it, but does my silence also mean that So I became an accomplice of the Rakshasa people... If you look at it this way, I still failed to become the heroine I wanted to be... Hey, why didn't you say anything? "

Mei Yi was silent. She didn't know why. Su Shang, who was standing one step away from her, kept telling her story about her and Otto, but what kept popping up in Mei Yi's mind were two other faces.

She couldn't help but wonder, did Mebius and Mikael have the same relationship?

She didn't know what the significance of this conjecture was, and how it would change her attitude. She just thought of it inexplicably in her mind.

She wanted to think deeply along this line, but it was just a flash of inspiration, how could it be so easy to grasp?

Su Shang didn't know why the girl in front of her was in a daze. She only knew that she finally poured out all the words she had suppressed for decades.

No, it was a bit too impetuous. Many things I wanted to express were forgotten to be said in the end, and many things that should have been expressed clearly became disordered due to emotions. But it didn't matter. She didn't expect, nor should she expect, a girl who knew nothing about herself and him to empathize with her.

It's just that after I said these things, I felt really relaxed. Even every breath I took felt less oppressive that didn't actually exist.

Really, it’s only been five hundred years, and I already feel suffocated. I really don’t know how Master survived those 50,000 years. I used to think that my mother, master, and uncles all regarded the ability to live forever as a curse and punishment, especially when they discovered that she, the "descendant of a sinner", had inherited this trait and chose not to have any more children, it was a big deal. Now it seems that she is still too ignorant.

This kind of thing must not be said to her mother and master, nor to her uncles. Her relationship with them is not that close, and it always feels weird to say such things to her elders. Not to mention apprentice and subordinate, etc. After thinking about it, this strange girl in front of me is the most suitable one. I wonder who Master is confiding to?

Of course, as the de facto leader of China, her purpose of doing this is by no means as simple as confiding. In other words, given her position, such a willful, selfish and meaningless act of simply confiding is absolutely not allowed.

Su Chang took two steps forward, walked to Ya Yi's side, raised her hand and patted her shoulder gently. After retracting her hand, she didn't speak in a hurry, but picked up another bun and bit off half of it, just like that. Qingdi advised:

"Okay, don't stand here stupidly. Thank you for the buns. The fillings are very interesting and the taste is unique. But don't do this kind of thing just to please others in the future - come on, I'm I finally convinced myself not to help Otto realize his dream but to save Kiana. Then you must show me the same significance in the days to come, right? Don't let this girl make your own choices? Regret!”

"……Um"

After a brief silence, Mei Yi nodded vigorously, and her fisted hands unconsciously grasped the cuffs of her sleeves.

"Well! It seems that you have a lot of things that are only for yourself. I don't want to be regarded as a gossip, so I won't ask you more questions! There is only one thing I can tell you - we Chinese people The choice is called 'decision'. Decision and decision both mean separation. No matter which path you choose, you are actually saying goodbye to another possibility, and you may have to pay a greater price for it.

"At first glance, you look like the kind of good girl who thinks a lot in your head, and then takes a lot of responsibilities that have nothing to do with you. But sometimes you might as well learn from the people like me, and deal with gains and losses anyway. The analysis does not take much time. It is clear at a glance what you will gain and what you will lose. No matter what you choose, you will probably regret it in the end. To sum up, it is better to choose the one that is more pleasing to the eye. At least you will be happy at the moment you make the decision. ”

"..."

This time Meiyi didn't respond.

Silence can mean many things, as a talkative man who seems to say very few words often says.

It can be rejection or denial, but it can also be approval and acceptance.

The corners of Su Shang's mouth twitched quickly to both sides. The loose robe covered her exposed skin, but Naoki's hair could still be seen from the back of her neck.

As the only three people in the world who have understood the Taixu Sword God, she almost instinctively drew her sword at that moment.

There were no enemies around, and there was no one else but the silent girl beside her who gave her a sense of crisis at that moment.

However, it was only for a moment.

The sharp sword-like aura that suddenly emanated from the girl's body was not directed at anyone. Su Chang understood this feeling quite well. In ancient books, this situation is usually called "enlightenment".

"Hehe, it's quite interesting."

The corners of Su Shang's mouth twitched to both sides again, but this time it was not a subconscious reaction, but joy from the heart.

Perhaps, the decision she made on the spur of the moment might actually bring surprises.

But the smile quickly faded.

In order to see the future with surprises, she must first stabilize a troublesome woman - Hollander.

"Then, I will bow down first! I still have to go and clean my face in front of my disciples!"

…………

"call--"

The fist passed by his eyes, and the wind caused by the fist made the tip of his nose feel uncomfortable. It seemed that the girl in front of him had no intention of holding back, which made Hollander very satisfied.

But since she turned sideways in time to avoid the punch, then everything can be declared over——

The hands that were originally placed on the chest ready to attack quickly placed on the opponent's arms. He pushed out with his right elbow, and grabbed the opponent's wrist with his left hand and pulled it back. The winner was determined.

Hollander let go of his hand, and the girl opposite held her neck and took several steps back, looking hurt. But Youlandale thought that he had very good control over his strength, and his elbow stopped just before it touched the flesh. As expected, the girl just held her throat and coughed twice, and stood up straight again. It was probably because of her psychology. The effects cause the throat muscles to tighten, producing phantom pain.

"She is indeed the strongest legendary Valkyrie, Lady Hollander! That move just now was our Taixu technique!"

Hollander nodded solemnly.

In fact, that was a technique she learned from the senior named Cheng Lixue a few years ago. Fortunately, at the last moment, she remembered that Rita once told her that the disappearance of senior Lixue seemed to be a mystery in Taixu Mountain. Due to some kind of taboo, she could only change her original words into something completely different.

“I’m just learning now and selling it now.”

After saying this, she crossed her arms and commented seriously:

"You are very powerful. Even a Honkai Beast exoskeleton less than ten meters tall can't withstand your punch. But the price of this kind of attack is that it is difficult to change the attack. Once the attack fails, it will be accompanied by great risks. There may be some people who advise you to hold back your strength when attacking and leave room for changing your moves, but your reaction speed is relatively slow. If you ask me, instead of suppressing your strengths and pursuing balance, you should use your strengths and avoid weaknesses to maximize your destructive power. To the extreme, try to find teammates with fast reaction speed but low destructive power to cooperate with each other. This can play a greater value on the battlefield, but correspondingly, you and your teammates will become more dangerous on the battlefield. How to choose? , it’s all up to you.”

"Yeah! Thank you Lord Hollander for your advice!"

There was warm applause all around.

When Youlandale first arrived at Taixu Mountain, the atmosphere between her and these people was not as harmonious as it is now. Although she is nominally the "strongest contemporary Valkyrie", people who have not witnessed it will always look at this title with doubts about how strong she is, so that when she first stood here to accept the challenge, These new generation disciples of Taixu Mountain once had the naive idea of ​​letting her go.

Fortunately, no one dares to think so now.

"Pah - pah - pah -"

A particularly loud applause came from one side. Hollander saw the crowd in front of him automatically parting to both sides. Standing in the passage was a man who looked about the same age as her, but who had actually lived for more than five hundred years. The leader of Taixu.

"Miss Li Sushang..."

"Yeah, well, I've seen the process, Xiao Zhao, think carefully about what Youlandale said and decide as soon as possible the path you want to take in the future. It will also be good for you. And, Youlandale, you are being eaten and housed here by me. You’re still learning skills from me, remember to remind the Rakshasa people to pay me!”

The corners of Hollandale's mouth twitched slightly. She was actually not good at dealing with such people who liked to joke, except for a certain person.

Fortunately, before she could respond, the communication rang.

She looked at Li Suchang, who nodded slightly, then she pushed aside the crowd and walked to the side to answer.

"Hey, Bianca."

"Hey...Mr. Bishop! Do you have any new orders?"

"I have already read the report you sent earlier. I just want to share the latest information with you - the information from the other side."

"The other side means..."

"Actually, I received this news last night. I know I shouldn't interfere with you during your mission... But I'm sorry, I think you have the right to know about this - the entire Snow Lotus team, including Rita, was killed by the World Snake people were captured."

"Well……"

After a second of silence, Youlandale wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked in a calm tone:

"So, Your Majesty Bishop, do you have any new instructions?"

"No, no, no, I have no instructions. I just think you need to know this. As for the current situation on Taixu Mountain, I will not interfere. I have delegated all decision-making power to you."

"I see……"

Hollander hung up the communication in a daze, as if to compensate, and there was a huge buzz of people behind him.

"What are you arguing about?"

Looking back, she saw a middle-aged woman wearing an elder's robe without any image, separated from the crowd and rushed to Li Sushang.

Su Shang was still calm and said with a normal expression:

"Hey, aren't you the gatekeeper elder? What happened? Someone come and give her some water and speak slowly..."

"Ho...ho...it's too late for the leader, a fool came up the mountain, and she said she was...ho..."

"What?"

Before the gatekeeper elder could say that word, a voice resounded through the sky, allowing everyone in the entire Taixu Mountain to hear it clearly——

"Hey, hey, hey! Little cubs on Taixu Mountain! Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Come to the mountain gate quickly - your Grandmaster Chi Yuan is back!"

"Your Grandmaster Red Yuan is back!"

"Your Grandmaster Chi Yuan is back - tell me important things three times!"
