Chapter 416 ·Struggle

dark.

When the silver moonlight washed down, Jiang Yu could only perceive pure darkness.

He knew he was not indestructible, but he didn't expect this moment to come so quickly.

Who would have thought that the Creator wanted to destroy the world?

Who would have thought that parents were trying to destroy their children?

No, it should have been thought of. Be it an inexplicable sense of crisis, the strange movements of the gods, or the collapse of the great barrier. There is too much evidence that points to this speculation.

It’s just that I don’t want to believe it.

I don't believe that the situation will be so bad, that the gap in strength will be so... irreparable.

The silver moonlight swept across the body, and Ilúvatar's power had an attack depth far beyond the molecular level. It is completely impossible to resist or defend. To contend with it, the possession of the light of the soul is an absolute prerequisite. But now, there is only one end: death.

——Will I die?

Jiang Yu thought that the cutting spear was only a hair away from touching Adam. But even if they encounter it, it is nothing more than activating the Rebirth Ankh held by the opponent - not purchasing convenient resurrection, or forced exit props is indeed the biggest decision-making mistake of the Central Continent team. And this was undoubtedly his own mistake.

Make mistakes and you should pay the price.

Death is just the most inconspicuous price.

Negative score reminders sounded in my mind one after another. But the flesh and bones melted in the silver moonlight. Even if he tried his best, he couldn't let the judgment gun touch Adam, who was only one step away. The blond young man in front of him didn't even cast a glance at himself - no, he did look at himself, but he was looking at reward points and a subplot, not a goal worthy of attention.

Failure is failure, and the loser does not deserve to speak.

The last efforts failed to have any effect, and Eternal Darkness immediately erased everything.

die.

Consciousness gradually dissolved, and the familiar feeling of immersion came over me along with unparalleled fatigue. It was a vast and endless deep ocean. He had floated from the depths to the surface several times, but this time, he fell towards the abyss.

die.

【I don’t want to die...】

There were tiny whispers pouring out from the abyss of death, which seemed to come from above or from below.

【Want to live...】

That was not Jiang Yu's voice, nor Jiang Yu's will. He had accepted this failure and was facing his own demise.

[It doesn’t matter if it’s one minute…it doesn’t matter if it’s one second…]

He has gradually been unable to understand them, and his consciousness can no longer promote his own thinking.

【So unwilling...】

He heard one last lingering whisper before he faded away.

Not willing to give in.

Losing is losing, defeating is defeat, why not be willing to accept it?

Do you still have hope of turning defeat into victory? Could it be that the dead companions can return to the world?

...can come back.

The scattered consciousness regrouped. The sinking feeling of immersion is reversing.

There is still a chance of recovery.

As long as you don't die, you still have a chance to redeem yourself. Even if it can't turn defeat into victory, it can at least allow everyone who has entered death due to their own mistakes in decision-making to return to the world.

The sounds in my ears are getting louder and clearer. As the feeling of floating gradually increased, the essence of the sound was finally understood and known by Jiang Yu.

That's the sound of the world.

That was the murmuring cry of the world of Arda in the chaos and ignorance before it collapsed. It does not have complete intelligence, but it has the instinct to survive. Its will resonates with itself, because I have been resonating with it until my death.

Build·Divine Resonance.

In the dying world, there is a part of yourself left that is not within the range of Ilúvatar's attack. The cry of the world summons the power to transcend death.

——I will not die.

Jiang Yu thought.

If a bit of true spirit is immortal, it will not die.

Consciousness is reshaped, and the feeling of ascending is greatly amplified. Four deep blows are enough to blind the true spirit but cannot kill it. And in the gradually deepening resonance, he perceived what the world looks like now.

The big barrier has completely collapsed. The energy tide from the void is washing away this peaceful soil. The predators fled in fear after seeing the power of the gods, which temporarily prevented all living beings on the earth from falling into imminent destruction.

But the earth is still filled with sadness.

Because it sees it, it knows it. Even if all the intellectual individuals who have witnessed the Creator's power have been annihilated in the silver moonlight, this land still witnesses the Creator's indifference and decisive will. It knows its destiny, it knows it has been abandoned. And its sorrow and struggle flow in all directions with the pulse of the earth.

【I don’t want to die...】

【What did we do wrong...】

[My Lord, my Father, why have you forsaken us...]

The sorrow of the earth evokes the sorrow of all living beings. The imminent death is known to the remaining living beings at this moment. They saw the huge shadow moving from far away, and they saw the reins held in the hands of the gods. Some kind of metaphysical collision and injury had already occurred when the world first looked forward to the warriors, and the feeling of fragmentation spread from every direction.

The world is breaking. Conceptual brokenness.

First the concept, then the law, and then to the physical entity. And when the final impact arrives, everything will be completely destroyed and wiped out in an instant.

This is fate and the future. The ignorant will of the world has already predicted the end. And in this moment, shape it into a concrete and clear shape.

Jiang Yu regained his vision and hearing. What he saw was a pure white city, and countless people were screaming in fear and fleeing everywhere.

This is the White City, Milis Tirith. A burning sky and shadows were falling from the sky. There was no force that could stop the disaster from coming, because the shadow was so huge.

It was a continent the size of Arda. Desperate warriors fired arrows into the sky in vain, while helpless women and children prayed to gods who no longer answered them.

"Why do you do this! Why do you do this to us!"

"What mistake did we make..."

"Can you give us a chance to atone... We just want to live..."

Their struggles are meaningless, and destruction continues to fall, whether they escape, resist, or beg for mercy. And in the end, all the anger, grief, pity, prayer, madness, and despair were all mixed in one direction.

That is weeping - the desperate cry on the eve of destruction. Men and women, warriors and farmers, the strong and the old and the weak, all their voices paved a guiding path.

"woo woo woo woo……"

Jiang Yu walked along that road and walked into the center of the desperate White City. He pushed open door after door until he reached the inner sanctum dedicated to the gods.

A figure is kneeling at the feet of the gods in prayer. He banged his head on the solid floor again and again.

Blood splattered everywhere. He doesn't stop.

He is a mighty king, a wise sage, a brave warrior, and a prudent bureaucrat.

She is a busy businessman, a hard-working farmer, a poor laborer, and a tired craftsman.

He is a man, she is a woman, he is a child, and she is old.

She has the ears of an elf, he has the beard of a dwarf, she has the body of a human, and it has the wildness of a beast.

He was kneeling, and the idol was dimmed.

"We just want to survive," he said.

"Even if there is only a small group of people and a small piece of land, we want to survive," she said.

Jiang Yu walked closer to him, her body changing with Jiang Yu's steps. And when the reincarnation came to a position close enough, it turned into a slender and weak girl with a wreath on her head, the most pitiful appearance.

"We are willing to give everything we have, we are willing to dedicate all our strength and resources. We can bring you back to the world, we can make you comparable to Valar."

She stretched out her slender broken hands and lifted up a crown wrapped with thorns from the pool of blood that had been kowtowed a thousand times. She presented it to Jiang Yu, and this was the last treasure and essence of the world.

"Please protect us, please guide us, please do not abandon us, please give us a place to stay."

"We are willing to pay whatever it takes."

She stared at Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu stared at her.

She knelt at Jiang Yu's feet like a statue serving the gods.

"…………"

Jiang Yu knew what it was, and he almost couldn't help but touch it. That is the common authority of the earth and all living beings. It is Gaia and Alaya. If you wear it, you can become the king of the world. And as long as you don't leave this world, you can even have the light of the soul equivalently.

It is authority, it is power. But it is also a yoke and a contract. Once you put it on, you can never take it off again, and no matter what your thoughts were before that, as long as you accept this crown of thorns, its owner will subtly move towards the agreement on the crown. Because this is the covenant between man and God. If you have power, you must keep your promise.

Jiang Yu knew that she was willing to accept this promise and knew that she needed this power.

But he also knew that even if he became Valar, he would never be able to fight against Ilúvatar. Before I take up this responsibility, I have another commitment to fulfill.

——I am the captain of the Zhongzhou team. Even if he is an agent, he is still the captain.

——I... don't believe that Chu Xuan would die for no reason.

"It's not the time yet," he said. "This crown will find its owner, but now, not yet."

The girl's forehead touched the blood-stained ground, and every drop of blood seemed to turn into a cry. But what came out of her throat were only plaintive prayers.

"Please... change your mind."

Jiang Yu didn't answer.

He raised his hand, and another slender hand was on his wrist at some point. Xia's form quietly appeared next to him, but she was not supposed to do it.

That's right, as long as he doesn't die, Kasumi won't die. However, Xia's essence completely relies on him, and if Xia, who has not truly unlocked the fourth-level gene lock, wants to manifest, she must have a body as a carrier.

She was given a body.

Her body is his body.

And this body is in a place where it should be. A Chu Xuan stayed for a long time, but it was like Isinger's place. I don't know what he did.

He opened his eyes.

……………………

Cold and silent.

Jiang Yu opened her eyes.

"Yes, you woke up earlier than everyone else."
