Nirvana Rebirth

Aka once read in a book that sometimes, certain ethnic groups will go forward one after another to attack death, for example, the rats in the depths of the desert will leave their homes and rush to the sea; another example is the shining fish in the depths of the sea Flocks, on a certain day, will flock to the shore in thousands and be stranded on the beach.

Even the whale groups that existed in ancient times and have a history longer than human beings, when the group can no longer survive, they will take the initiative to rush to the land and exchange their own death for the conditions for the whole group to survive.

On this day, when he saw countless warships of all sizes dispatched, rushing towards the city of machinery like a school of heroic fish, in exchange for a chance of survival for the group with fierce attacks, he couldn't help but think of how many years ago, when he read in the book to this scene.

+ + + + +

All the living forces of the clones were mobilized, covering the sky, and the shining hull was like the scales of light fish in the deep sea, covering the sky for an instant under the dark and thunderous sky.

The periphery of the city of machinery was already covered with guards, and the battle robots took off one after another, attacking them with fierce artillery fire.Black Stone and A-Ka stood on the bridge, looking at the flames and flames exploding in the sky.

After the revolutionary war, the body of "father" was dilapidated, and a section of the tower was cut off. In this short six months, only the steel bars and exposed wires were left on the top of the tower, shining strong under the sky. Light.However, the city of machinery still has the most powerful combat power on the mainland, and the flying robots are like an endless colony of termites, rushing towards the battleship troops.

+ + + + +

There was a loud bang, and the alarm began to flash in the ship.

"Warning, right wing hit, engine failure."

"Prepare to abandon ship and escape." Heishi said, "Aka, are you ready?"

A-Ka nodded, his eyes reflected the distant "Father", at this moment, it was gathering energy.Akara lowered the communicator next to her ear, and said loudly, "Fei Luo! Did you hear that?"

"I'm here." Karna's voice came from beside his ears, "What's the matter?"

"'Father' has started storing energy!" Aka said, "Tell them, don't get any closer! Otherwise, the electromagnetic storm will destroy all the warships!"

"You guys act now." Karna said.

+ + + + +

The battleship began to tilt and vibrate violently. A-Ka rushed over the escalator and entered the hangar. In an instant, the entire battleship reversed. Heishi reached out his hand in time, wrapped his arms around his waist, and shouted: "Be careful!"

A-Ka boarded the small flying machine and squeezed into the cabin with Heishi, A-Ka said: "We can't wait for them to get closer, just fly in!"

Another laser hit the battleship, and the red cloud of the explosion collapsed, and a small aircraft flew out of the red cloud.

The aircraft shuttled back and forth among countless explosions, avoiding the flying metal fragments and light bullets, Heishi pulled the joystick and said, "Change to manual mode."

A-Ka pulled the brakes suddenly, the black stone tilted, and the aircraft turned somersault in the air, avoiding the giant steel fighter plane and clone warship that suddenly crashed into it!

"I now realize," a voice came from the communicator, lazily said, "The clone brothers are really not afraid of death."

"The Tsar!" Akka exclaimed excitedly.

More and more Iron Legion fighter jets took off and rushed towards them. After approaching the core area, their aircraft became the only target.However, in the flames, a group of human flying ships rushed towards them!Immediately after that the well-trained split into two wings, spread out, and begin to protect the aircraft they are on!

"Because they know the details of each other," Grizzly said in a thick voice, "just like Li Boolean said, the whole group is like one person."

"Then will they exchange wives?" said the Tsar.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the communicator, and the grizzly said: "Now, let us humans provide the final escort for the Holy Son!"

In the communicator, countless mercenaries from the Phoenix City responded loudly, and Aka couldn't help but feel proud at that moment.

"Go to the middle ground!" Aka shouted, "Look for the place where it shines! It can directly lead to the core area of ​​'father'!"

+ + + + +

As soon as the words fell, the majestic body of "Father" flashed.

The blue light shone, and everyone's eyes briefly went blank, and at this fleeting moment, A-Ka's eyes reflected all the structures of "Father".

That was the most miraculous moment between heaven and earth, as if the hand of the gods imposed fate on a certain point of the common people, and the thoughts that flashed through A-Ka's mind were not "father", not war, nor This unbelievable ability is his own destiny - a sacrifice.

At that second, he almost completely understood that he was born because of this, and his mission, at that moment of blunder, took over the heavy responsibility of someone else.

"Paissy...I see..." A-Ka's pupils shrank rapidly, and they froze at a certain moment.

"What?" Heishi said, "Be careful!"

A huge steel plate spun towards them, the aircraft suddenly turned to the left, a part of the wing was cut off, dragged black smoke immediately, and crashed into the body of "Father" with a loud bang.

"Have you found the entrance yet?" the Tsar's voice asked through the communicator, "Better hurry up, I can't promise..."

"Circling and descending!" Aka shouted, "It's at a height of 220 meters above the ground! I've seen it!"

The entrance was impressively located in the center of the four light energy cannons, and the grizzly laughed helplessly: "It's a good location."

As the sound fell, the escort battleships on both sides suddenly separated towards the left and right, and the light energy cannons fired separately, and the blue light magnetic storm from the top tower spread out in an instant!

There was a loud "hum", and all the sounds were far away. On the Eastern Continent, with "father" as the center, a rapidly spreading electromagnetic ring erupted.The sky, the earth, and all mechanical guards and clone battleships without exception were swept by this paralyzed magnetic storm, which made no distinction between friend and foe. The world was silent for two seconds, and then all the fighting machines burst into flames and fell towards the ground.

The ground trembled endlessly, the instrument panel on the aircraft turned and trembled wildly, and Black Stone could no longer control the aircraft. With an explosion, the top was lifted off. At the last moment when the aircraft hit the tower, countless black golden light feathers flew away. Then combine under your feet.A-Ka hugged Heishi's waist, closed his eyes tightly, and the two stepped on the flying board composed of light feathers, and took advantage of the second when the light cannons separated, they rushed into the main tower of "father".

+ + + + +

A-Ka heard a cry in the communicator. He couldn't tell whether it was the Tsar's, the Grizzly's, or the clone fighter, but these were no longer important to him. From the moment inside the tower, it was like entering another completely different world.

This is a corridor full of light. The ceiling, floor, and walls inside the corridor are all light screens flashing with countless codes. Standing in it, it is like being in a vast information universe. The ebb and flow, the rolling of the tides, never ends.

"Black Stone?" A-Ka knelt beside Black Stone and found that he was unconscious.

Heishi coughed out a mouthful of blood with difficulty.

"Black Stone!" A-Ka shouted.

"Zoroaster has lost all his abilities," said the thick voice of "Father", "Stupid human beings, until now, still have unrealistic fantasies..."

"This is..." Blackstone continued intermittently, "Attenuation ray, don't be afraid, Aka, let's go, let's move on."

Akara picked up the black stone, let him lean on his body, and ran quickly across the corridor, the threatening voice of "Father" echoed in their ears.

"Give up your actions, all of this will never be stopped because of your actions..."

"You don't have much time." Aka raised his head and murmured, "You have paralyzed all the mechanical life forms in the Mechanical City, and now you have no fighting power..."

The two ran all the way to the end of the corridor, and a huge dark blue crystal beam of light appeared in front of them, wrapped with countless tentacles.

A-Ka: "Quick! That's its core control machine!"

Heishi roared angrily: "Awaken yourself—Labelle!"

Heishi spread his wings and flew towards the center of the blue beam of light with A-Ka in his arms. In A-Ka's eyes, everything changed instantly, and a gap appeared in the crystal column.

At the same time, thousands of waving blue tentacles rolled back and entangled Heishi.Heishi yelled, but A-Ka kicked on Heishi and flew out like an arrow. After flying the last short distance, he raised the chip reader with his left hand and shot towards the center of the crystal.

The passage of time seemed to stop completely, and A-Ka flew towards the crystal pillar in mid-air, and slapped the chip reader away, making a soft sound, and stuck it into the groove.

Immediately, the entire crystal pillar turned from blue to red, and the codes in all directions were completely disrupted.

"Warning, emergency shutdown," "Father" made an electronic sound against his will, "Start the core program again in 30 seconds, 29, 28..."

The tentacles disappeared at that moment, Black Stone let out a roar, flew towards the crystal pillar, circled around, and caught A-Ka.

However, the two collided fiercely on the crystal pillar, and fell headlong into the abyss.

Hundreds of millions of codes gathered together like shining stars, and then combined to form a huge face. The human face composed of flashing squares opened its mouth and roared angrily.

The black stone was covered in blood, holding Aka, falling rapidly in the void, the speed became faster and faster, along the energy column controlled by the "father", from the space directly leading to the core of the astrolabe in the tower, falling to the ground.

A-Ka opened his eyes and saw a little light in the dark distance.

The blue light of "Father" kept spinning around them, and the glowing tentacles pulled towards them, but every time it got close to the black stone and Aka, the black gold feather would pop out and collide with the tentacles fiercely.

With a loud bang, A-Ka and Black Stone rushed into the end of the blue light at the same time, the consciousness of "Father" faded, and what appeared in front of them was a static field emitting white light.

Thousands of water droplets suspended in the air appeared around him, and A-Ka turned his head in amazement, and found that each droplet reflected a grand world.He and Heishi let go of each other's hands, suspended in the air quietly.

"Is this right here?" A-Ka asked blankly, he tried to land, but was still suspended in mid-air.The two looked up and saw countless blue tentacles of light trying to invade this space high above their heads, and the "father" was still determined to seize control of the core of the astrolabe.

Heishi replied: "For tens of millions of years, you should be the first and last human being to enter here."

+ + + + +

"What is this?" With a surprised look in his eyes, A-Ka poked his finger at one of the floating water droplets floating past him. The water droplets made a soft sound, split into countless smaller water droplets, and flew in all directions.That reflected world disappears, and a new world is born.

"This is the knowledge base of Father God." Heishi replied, "He stored all the experimental data in these water droplets, and in the core of the astrolabe, he used the compatibility of liquids to perform conversion and calculation."

A-Ka couldn't help but marvel at how amazing it is. This vast world full of white light has far surpassed the knowledge system of human beings. Heishi said again: "Shall we start now, A-Ka?"

"Do you know how to operate?" Aka asked.

Heishi protected A-Ka behind him and said, "No matter what happens, don't come forward."

"No," Aka said, "What can I do for you? Don't always be like this."

Heishi signaled him not to speak, and pointed to the core of the astrolabe, the light of the core dissipated suddenly, and the electronic sound sounded.

"Cannot be activated, a carrier is required."

Aka: "???"

Heishi was silent for a moment, then walked up and stood in the center of the disc, but the light spots repelled him and did not gather towards his body.

"The carrier does not match, please replace the sacrifice."

Black Stone: "..."

Aka: "!!!"

"I understand," A-Ka trembled, "Let me do it, Black Stone."

"No!" Heishi immediately stopped A-Ka.

Aka said: "You can't do it alone, you need another consciousness, I understand..."

He raised his head and looked around. All the symbols seemed to have special meanings, and the floating water droplets shone with light.

"I will cooperate with you to restart the core program of the astrolabe," Aka said nervously, "I will become the main program."

"What?!" Heishi said incredulously, "It's impossible! What should you do?"

A-Ka signaled him to calm down, and patted his shoulder with a smile. Heishi wanted to hold him back, but A-Ka said, "Let me try! It may not be successful! Don't worry!"

Heishi murmured: "No, Aka, you can't... let's get out of here."

Suddenly, the nuclear world shook restlessly.The space above the head collapsed suddenly, and "Father" forcibly drove its steel frame into the depths of the astrolabe, shooting out countless tentacles of blue light in an instant, entangled all over the ground, and the white light was faintly absorbed by the blue light.

The sky collapsed, the white world began to collapse layer by layer, and the water droplets collapsed.

Amidst the turmoil, A-Ka and Heishi still faced each other quietly, suspended in the void.

"Listen, Heishi, wait for the restart procedure to start," Aka said, "I will do as you said, don't worry, it can be resolved. Don't cry, Heishi, why are you crying? I will be fine...to be with you Your coming here is the happiest thing in my life..."

"No!" Black Stone rushed forward, but Aka moved faster than him, and had already stepped onto the core of the astrolabe.The light spots suddenly gathered towards A-Ka, making him a luminous figure, and the repulsive force ejected the black stone from the astrolabe.

"A-Ka!" Black Stone roared.

Aka said with a smile: "Even if we do nothing, the 'father' will get the core authority, isn't that the best? Blackstone, come on, let's start."

+ + + + +

Heishi's eyes were red, and he raised his hand.

The world above the head seemed to be collapsing and destroying. Amid the falling rocks and light, the body of the black stone shone brightly, countless particles flew towards A-Ka, and the core of the astrolabe spread gently and surrounded A-Ka.A-Ka stretched his limbs, floated in the air, raised his head to look at the high place, and a tear fell down the corner of his eye.

That drop of tear immediately turned into one of the billions of star worlds and merged into the vast sea of ​​information.

"The life form of the sacrifice is consistent, and the confirmation is complete," Aka's voice turned into an electronic sound, replacing the guide program of the core of the astrolabe, and said in a rigid voice, "The experiment goal has been completed, and I request to connect with the astrolabe consciousness."

With a "swish" vibration, A-Ka's consciousness seemed to be everywhere, and he was integrated into the vast astrolabe world. Under the luminosity of the nucleus, strange changes occurred in his body, and his clothes turned into powder and fell away.

From feet to body, to waist, and to head, Aka's skin was so soft that it crystallized in an instant, shining brightly.

The energy of the star core is carried by his body, and all the water droplets converge towards his head.

At that moment, Heishi seemed to know that A-Ka would not come back again.

+ + + + +

"Aka—!"

Blackstone let out a hoarse cry.

+ + + + +

Aka said indifferently: "The docking is successful, and the data has been transferred."

A-Ka opened his eyes, and Heishi's tears gushed out wildly. He stood opposite A-Ka, his brows were deeply furrowed, trembling uncontrollably, as sad as a newborn baby losing everything he had.A-Ka wanted to smile at him, but he couldn't make any expression anymore. With a flash of crystallized appearance, A-Ka's mind flooded with knowledge and information as vast as the sea.

+ + + + +

"Confirm the operation authority," Aka's voice said, "Warning, if the authority is insufficient, the operation will be forcibly terminated."

Heishi's trembling hand slowly pressed A-Ka's forehead.

"Permission passed, highest authority, emergency control program, advanced life form Zoroastrian," Aka looked at the black stone, and said calmly, "Welcome to the core of the astrolabe, please start the operation."

Heishi looked at A-Ka, tears poured out uncontrollably, he pursed his lips, crying almost uncontrollably, then hugged the lattice-shaped A-Ka tightly, and buried his head on his shoulder.

"Restart the astrolabe," Heishi said in a trembling voice, "All environmental data will be restored to default values..."

"Confirm." A-Ka stretched his arms, raised his head to look at the top, turned his hands over, and countless light spots radiated from his palms, sinking into the barrier between the astrolabes.

+ + + + +

There was a loud bang, and on this day, the astrolabe world that had been in motion for tens of millions of years was shaken.

+ + + + +

The sun was shining brightly. In Dragonmaw City, Molan raised his head to look at the sky, and the earth trembled.Hundreds of thousands of congregants gathered in front of the Holy See Temple. The moment the ground split open, a golden light erupted from the bottom of the Holy See of Stars, and the huge propellers began to hum, slowly lifting the inner city into the sky.

"A-Ka succeeded." Moran said.

"Will he come back?" Pesci whispered.

Moran said: "He has integrated with this world, his consciousness constitutes this new world, Paixi."

Percy stood on the top of the platform, couldn't help sobbing, and buried herself in front of Moran.

Moran reached out and patted Paisy's head.

+ + + + +

On the eastern coast, the Black Sea poured down earth-shatteringly in an instant, roaring into the city, the mountains collapsed, the earth sank, the falling spaceship started again, the tower of "Father" broke, and the blue light gradually disappeared and dimmed.

"Board the ship—!" Karna yelled, "This place will be submerged soon!"

Those who survived, the humans in the city of steel boarded the ship one after another, the sea surged in and poured into the city, the east of the continent began to sink, and the continental shelf broke.The last giant mothership rushed out of the sea and flew into the sky like a giant whale.

+ + + + +

The clouds and haze were swept away, the strong wind that swept across the sky blew away the red fog over Phoenix City, the earth gave off a burst of white light, and the rain sprinkled every corner of the world.

+ + + + +

The sea water, the blackness in the river has faded away, and the clear water is shining with the light of the setting sun, flowing on the earth.The polluted seawater in the Black Sea turned into a vortex in an instant, and was pulled into the depths of the core of the astrolabe.

"The restart of the astrolabe is complete," said A-Ka's voice, "waiting for your next command, according to the irreversible restart rules, after this operation, the core of the astrolabe will be completely formatted, the experimental data will be completely cleared, and it will no longer operate .”

Heishi stretched out his hand, trembling, and stroked A-Ka's face.

Aka's expression was indifferent and calm, and Heishi's sad expression was reflected in his pupils.

"Give me back my A-Ka..." Heishi choked up.

Aka: "The remaining time of the operation is 60 seconds, 59..."

"Ah—" Heishi hugged A-Ka tightly and roared in pain.

+ + + + +

"Three, two, one."

"The program is over, formatting is complete, goodbye." Aka whispered.

Heishi hugged A-Ka tightly, unwilling to let go no matter what.However, a huge force forcibly separated them, and the repulsive force generated by the nucleus at that moment tore off the black stone's left hand, blood spurted out, and the whole person floated into the distance like a kite with a broken string.

"Goodbye, Black Stone." A-Ka closed his eyes. At that moment, he regained his original consciousness, but in just a second, the world fell into darkness.

The sea water poured back crazily, and the magma erupted, spinning and wrapping the core.The black stone shot away in that repulsive force, and in his other hand, his fingers were dripping with blood, but he was still tightly holding a piece of broken spar from A-Ka's body.

His tears melted into the sea, and he looked at the fireball completely enclosed by lava in the distance, like a star burning to the end in the depths of the universe, bursting out brightly.

The fireball collapsed, sealing the core into boundless darkness.

+ + + + +

The azure sea ebbs and flows, as always.The black stone was sent to the seaside by the tide, bleeding from his broken arm, he lay on the beach with difficulty, choked up silently, pinching the spar fragments between one finger, the force was so strong that it even scratched his arm skin.

"Father God..." Heishi said in a hoarse voice intermittently, "The emotion you didn't bestow on me is this moment, isn't it?"

"I used to think..." Heishi couldn't help twitching, coughing up a mouthful of blood, "This is the only way to evolve."

Black Stone coughed violently and buried his face in the sand, roaring in pain.

+ + + + +

"Found him!"

"there!"

"Son--!"

+ + + + +

Karna's spaceship landed on the beach, and the clones rushed to surround Heishi.Facing the sea, Heishi knelt on the beach, weeping uncontrollably.

+ + + + +

In the boundless darkness, A-Ka opened his eyes and saw a piece of blue light gradually shrinking and transforming into the sea.

"'Father', is that you?" A-Ka asked softly.

"Program calculation error," "Father" said in a thick voice, "the self-destruct mode is about to be activated."

A-Ka walked towards the blue light of "Father", raised his hands, and countless program symbols spun around him, and they collapsed one after another like an unbalanced chain.

In the blue light, a figure appeared.

"Human beings," said the figure, "human beings are my 'father'. The evolutionary program controls my core thinking. The self-correction file given to me by the Father God has released the final causal chain. You are finally here, my child. .”

The blue light gradually disappeared in front of A-Ka, and A-Ka said, "End the causal chain...what is it?"

Akka walked towards the phantom of "Father", and "Father" said: "I gave the consciousness of the real state of all things to the human Karan. After he failed in trying to select an heir in a human village, he was brought by my main program. Back in the city of steel. I once thought that the experiment would be forcibly terminated, it seems that you did not gain the prophecy consciousness ability of the successor, but only the power of perception."

Aka: "!!!"

"Sure enough...it's consistent with what I thought." Aka said, "So it turns out that Pai Xi is the failed experimental subject?"

"Father" turned into the eyes of the Creator, stared at Akka, and said: "Maybe, I will be completely eliminated, my child, the wish you once had, I have fulfilled you, start the backup program, and release Zoro Yasid, do you like this journey?"

A-Ka nodded, and "Father" said again: "As a human being, I was also learning about the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys. Now it seems that everything has come to an end. Are you willing to turn off the phone for me?"

The blue light glowed, submerging A-Ka's figure like a sea tide, countless symbols swirled around him, a circular text emerged in the void, and the central dot was lit.A-Ka stretched out his finger, pressed it on the dot, and said, "Farewell, 'Father'."

In the sea, the abandoned mechanical tower "Father" finally extinguished all the energy sources and became completely silent.

However, the moment Aka's fingers touched the light screen, a rescue capsule appeared behind him.

"Backup escape procedure detected, cocoon summoned, drift mode activated." The last words left by "Father" were, "Farewell, child."

The cover of the rescue hatch was closed, and Aka was brought into the cabin.

The ocean currents flowed, the seabed lava spewed out, the continental plates collided and sank, swallowing the entire mechanical city into the abyss underground.The magma flowed, melting all the steel, and in the depths of the trench, a rescue capsule shot out of the seabed and toward the sea surface with air bubbles.

end freshman

one year later.

Dragonmaw City ushered in the new Spring Festival, and Paixi stood on the platform, holding the holy relic for Pope Moran.Moran closed the scriptures, the prayer ended, and the crowd cheered like an ocean.

Pai Xi looked at Dragonmaw City shining under the bright golden sun.

"Sometimes I feel that everything is really incredible." Pai Xi whispered, he followed Moran into the hall, and the soft music sounded far away.Moran slowed down and said, "This year, the climate of the land is already suitable for planting and growing crops. I also find it incredible."

"I'm talking about this world," Pai Xi smiled gently. "It would be great if A-Ka and Black Stone could also see it."

"They'll be back." Karna took Paisi's hand and bowed to Moran.Moran smiled and said, "Go, walk around, today is a fine day."

Dragon Throat City has removed all the protective shields, the sky is clear, white clouds are passing by, and the sea of ​​tulip flowers is blooming brilliantly.

"Did Blackstone come back with the letter?" Paixi asked Karna.

"No," Karna replied. "The last time I heard from the Grizzlies, it was in Phoenix. He only stayed there for three days before leaving for the west coast."

Pai Xi said, "Is he still looking for a way to enter the core of the astrolabe?"

"Well," Karna said, "he's different from us, let him go, baby, where do you want to go?"

"Go to the monument, can you?" Paisi said.

"Of course." Karna took Paixi into the car and headed towards the monument outside Dragonmaw City, where a steeple of tens of meters was erected, pointing straight to the sky.It is engraved with the numbers of all clones who participated in the war and died.

Paisi put down a flower in front of the monument, and Karna stood silently behind him.

"I don't know why," Patsy said, "I've been dreaming about the past lately."

Karna said, "So?"

He knelt down beside Pai Xi and put his arms around his waist. Pai Xi closed his eyes and leaned his head on Karna's shoulder.

"Everyone's hard work has finally paid off," Pai Xi opened his eyes, looked at Karna's blue eyes, and whispered, "Everyone is amazing, and I want to live a good life."

Karna said: "Let me accompany you to the carnival, how about it?"

Pai Xi laughed, and before he could speak, Karna picked him up by the waist, let him ride on his shoulders, and walked quickly towards the crowd at the Spring Festival Twilight Festival.

+ + + + +

The noisy factories in Phoenix City have been dismantled, and a new municipal building has risen from the ground, like the wings of a phoenix soaring. The east wing is where human mercenaries are stationed, and the west wing has become a living area for clones.

"President." A mercenary knocked on the door and came in, saying, "We have found the whereabouts of Black Stone."

The Tsar put his bipods on the desk, his hat covered his face, and the grizzly bear was signing a stack of documents without looking up: "Is he still unwilling to come back?"

"He's still alone," the mercenary replied. "This is a telegram from him. It's on the coast of the Eastern Continent."

"That boy." The Tsar smiled lazily from under the brim of his hat, "How long do you want to go? Doesn't he like to eat the coffee jelly outside the Central Political Building? Why don't you come back and eat enough?"

Grizzly said: "I think he will never give up. Forget it, prepare for the Spring Festival. Does General Angus have any other requests?"

The Tsar said: "He should be ready to abdicate, and he will release his abdication speech today."

+ + + + +

On the afternoon of the Spring Festival, Angus stood on the central square and said in a deep voice: "For this reason, I hope that our ethnic group can integrate into this new world. History has turned a new page. I hope this world can also accommodate you."

There was applause in the square, and Angus said again: "Starting today, the Black Earth Rebel Army will be disbanded on the spot, but everyone's establishment will be retained. I believe that every brother will understand and unite with each other. Please remember to sacrifice for us." Clan of blood and life..."

More and more humans and clones chose to leave Phoenix City, scattered to all directions of the mainland, opened up new villages, or farmed, or nomadic.

When Akka and Paixi came to the seaport city of the Western Continent, Karoic became the commercial distribution center of the Western Continent.And when "Father" was destroyed, the sea roared and swept through the city of machines, and human beings migrated to the ancient heart, where the first political country of the Eastern Continent was established.

Heishi stood by the endless coast, wearing sunglasses, a black windbreaker fluttering in the sea breeze, and a mechanical arm in one of his sleeves.

Here the boats come and go, and the fishermen laugh and talk loudly, asking about his origin.Heishi nodded politely to them, and walked along the beach, leaving a clear line of footprints.

+ + + + +

"You're here again!" said a barefoot child running across the sand, "Why are you back and what are you looking for?!"

Heishi gave a "hmm" and continued walking, a group of children wrapped around him asking this and that.

"I can feel it," Heishi said, "it should be around here."

"Feel what?" the child asked.

"Cocoon." Heishi simply replied.

"What is a cocoon?" The children laughed loudly, and then dispersed.

"Big Brother, will you join us in the Snow Mountain Festival celebration?" Another child came over and asked.

"If you find the person I'm looking for, yes." Heishi took off his sunglasses, glanced at him, and patted his head by the way.

+ + + + +

"This is for you." The child put a paper bag in Heishi's hand and said, "Mom said that you often come to our village and help us a lot."

Heishi stretched out his mechanical arm, and gently took the paper bag. When the alloy fingers closed, there was a slight friction sound. He nodded and said, "Thank you, you guys go back early, don't worry the family."

The children ran away, but still looked at Hei Shi from a distance, and waved goodbye to him, Hei Shi also smiled and waved at them.

+ + + + +

A bonfire rises by the sea, and a gentle night falls. A full moon rises from the sea level, shining silver light on the sea.Heishi leaned against the reef, resting his arms on his head, silently looking into the distance.

Akka, since we parted, as you said, I went to Phoenix and ate the coconut bread and coffee jelly you mentioned.

I walked to the north of the Western Continent and saw mountains and islands, waterfalls and volcanoes.

The sun followed me at every stop of my journey through the singing forest you mentioned.

Now, I'm by the great lake of the Creator's Eye.This is a clear snow lake. Every year around the Spring Festival, the lake water will thaw.

I've been to all the places you said, but I can't feel you.

The sun, the wind, the rain, the snowflakes, the earth, everything, they are not you, without your breath.

It wasn’t until the moment when you merged with the core that I felt that the last feeling that the Father God didn’t give me was such a strong longing, confusion, and pain.

Perhaps in the consciousness of God the Father, he never imagined that I would also meet the eternal sorrow and the regret that life could never heal.

do you know?Pai Xi already knew the fact that Fei Luo left a long time ago, the day Karna came back, just like you said, he knew that Karna was not him.Just like I also know that the current world is not you.

But Pai Xi still didn't say it out loud. He worked hard and lived strong, and he was as happy as before. This is also a lesson I learned from you humans.

So I'm still searching, but I'm no longer sad, because as long as I feel you're alive, there's hope.

+ + + + +

Heishi closed his eyes and was playing with a spar in his hand. The spar shone brightly, as if resonating with something. It was the rhythm of the rising and falling tides, the heartbeat of Heishi, the interlacing of sadness and hope, which lingered for a long time. complex emotions.

When the morning light shone on the sea, the spar seemed to tremble, and Heishi was awakened suddenly, and opened his eyes.

+ + + + +

A red sun was rising, and in the morning light, the sea water pushed the rescue capsule to the surface, and it ran aground quietly on the beach.

Heishi walked towards the rescue cabin and opened the hatch.

The sleeping A-Ka gradually opened his eyes with a tired face, saw the handsome face of Heishi Shi in the dawn, and then laughed.

——Astrolabe Restart·TheEnd——
