The voice that had appeared in the dream countless times, echoed in my ears vaguely.

Solandelle suddenly had an illusion, as if she had returned to the field where the laurel blossoms were flying in her dream, and saw the eye hanging from the sky overlooking the world, and the golden sun with dim light.
Looking at Solandelle's darker eyes, Ye Xiaochen knew that she could no longer resist the reality: "I have had the dream you had countless times, the scene may be different, but the meaning is the same. "

"It's the arrogance factor in our body that is agitating. As Kino becomes stronger day by day, the incomplete arrogance in his body is eager to make up, and it will resonate with the scattered factors."

"People who don't have an arrogance factor won't have that kind of dream."

The bonfire crackled, and the glimmer of light reflected from the eyes in the darkness disappeared. Solandelle closed her eyes tightly, her lips trembling slightly.

After a long time, she said desolately: "He has been lying to me from the beginning to the end. From the first time we met, every word he said was lying to me. Even if I asked him so many times, he still Didn't tell me the truth."

Ye Xiaochen's eyes became lonely, he shook his head and said, "In my opinion, that's not lying to you, he just didn't tell you the whole truth."

"Before the final hunt starts, both the rejecter and the reincarnator have rules and restrictions. They are not allowed to disclose reincarnation information to life forms in the local world, so no matter how much he wants to tell you, he can't tell the truth."

"Rules. It really sounds like a game." In the darkness, Solandelle curled up in a ball with her arms around her arms, her voice was so low that she could hardly hear it: "If the supreme power you mentioned really exists, then us' Lifeforms of the native world, what is our own existence?"

"If you want to hear the truth." Ye Xiaochen pursed his lips and sighed, "Maybe it's nothing."

"Under the power of the Supreme Being, both life and time can be manipulated."

"A person's life may be confused, entangled, love-hate, love-hate, and in his eyes, it is a real life, but to the supreme being, this person may be just a string of data, a symbol, which can be fabricated at will."

"The same is true for time. It is a long life for a person to live for a hundred years, and it is a miracle for a dynasty to last for a thousand years. The first human being in our civilization may have been born tens of thousands of years ago, but these are all in the blink of an eye for the supreme being. "

"So you asked me, what is your own existence? I can only answer you, maybe it is nothing. In your opinion, the great and eternal things are just a drop in the ocean."

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Solandelle opened her eyes again, filled with tiredness: "Then, what is the answer you rejecters are looking for in the end?"

Ye Xiaochen shook his head: "I don't know, no one knows until they actually see the answer."

He paused for a moment, then silently added: "But one thing is for sure, someone must go that way."

Solandelle smiled self-deprecatingly: "So he asked you to kill me and take away the arrogance factor in my body?"

Ye Xiaochen was stunned: "Why do you think so?"

Solandelle: "As you said before, to unlock the ultimate ability of arrogance, you need to complete the arrogance factor first."

Ye Xiaochen smiled slightly, his eyes softened, he added some firewood to the bonfire, and the bright fire light illuminated Solandelle's little face.

Ye Xiaochen stared at the opposite person across the flames, and said unexpected words: "The person who needs to complete the arrogance factor is not him. It's you."

Hearing these words, Solandelle seemed to be frozen, sitting there motionless, only the dim light of fire dancing on her face.

Seeing Solandelle's eyes filled with bewilderment, Ye Xiaochen didn't continue to elaborate, but changed the subject with a light smile: "I have a question, what do you think of Chino?"

Solandelle didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and it wasn't until Ye Xiaochen repeated the question that she began to recall the details of getting along with Kino.

She thought for a long, long time, recalling the experience of getting along with Kino, recalling his journey, recalling what he did.
In the end, she gave her own answer: "A person who is very persistent in his goal and will do anything for it."

Ye Xiaochen fiddled with the bonfire with a firewood stick, showing a deep smile: "Correct, but also very one-sided. I know him a little better than you."

"I once asked Chino, along the way, what is it that supports him to get to where he is today? Why can he persevere?"

"Others may have various answers, such as inheriting whose will, for family, love or friends, or pure dreams and so on."

"But the answer Kino gave me was——I just want to go to the end and witness the answer."

Solandelle recalled that year, when she, Kino, and Lorna sat in the garden under the moon and talked about their future life. They talked about the goal of life, and Kino gave this answer.

Solandelle lowered her eyes and said silently: "He also said this to me before. He just wanted to go to the end. Is there any meaning to it? So what if he witnessed the answer?"

Ye Xiaochen showed a meaningful smile: "This is what makes him special. The reason why he has come to this day is not driven by any external motivation. It is nothing more than himself as a rejecter, and there is still one thing that has not been completed, so he has to continue go down."

"As for the final answer, whether it's good, bad, grand, or ethereal... He actually doesn't care at all."

"So in my opinion, he is a vain person with no dreams, no beliefs, and nothing. He is like a dead existence, but he is still alive. He just wants to finish his own path."

"Of course it's true to use any means, because he doesn't even care about his own life, so how can he care about other things?"

Solandelle looked at Ye Xiaochen: "Didn't you ever think about taking away the arrogance factor in my body, and then taking away Kino, and you will make it up?"

Ye Xiaochen showed a self-deprecating smile: "How could it be possible that I haven't thought about it, but do you think it's realistic?"

"I'm just a remnant that has lived for thousands of years. My strength has melted away. I don't have any ambitions, and I don't want to see more bloodshed. After all, I can only become a sacrifice, a stepping stone to the end .”

"If the arrogance factor only exists in me, things will become very simple. I will take the initiative to find Kino, let him swallow me, and let him go to the end to complete his last unfinished business."

"But when you appeared, everything became different. He couldn't continue to move towards the finish line."

"It's different?" Solandelle asked sadly with bleak eyes, "Do you think he cares about me?"

Ye Xiaochen asked back: "How do you know he doesn't care about you?"

"In your opinion, what should it be like to care about your performance? Do you want him to send you roses every day like the princes in those love stories? Talking about love over and over again? To tear your heart when you leave crying?"

"No, Solandelle, it's not. He is a person who lacks normal emotions, but the lack does not mean complete extinction. He also has feelings that emerge unconsciously, but the way of expression is different from ordinary people."

"He cares about your performance. It is the sound of the piano when you suppress restlessness, it is the unreasonable laissez-faire when you face revenge, and it is the footsteps that stop before the end."

"In order to witness the final answer, he walked farther and farther on the road of harvesting awe and being revered as a god, without being stopped by anything. He will let go and remove all obstacles in front of him, including letting you go."

"Because he knows that no matter where you go after you leave, you will live in a corner of the world that he can touch. Life is very long, and we will meet again in the future."

"But if the price of going to the end is to really lose you, lose you forever, and there will be no trace of you in the world, he would rather not be this god."

Ye Xiaochen looked into Solandelle's eyes, and his voice was as gentle as the evening wind: "What do you think this is? This is love, silly girl, this is love."

Love.
Time seemed to be pierced at this moment, and the deepest memories in Solandelle's heart were quietly awakened, and scenes of the past were changing before her eyes like fireworks, making her fall into a trance.

Ye Xiaochen looked up at the starry sky, as if he was staring at the supreme being who had been born for an unknown number of years behind the galaxy: "This world is a huge chessboard, and everything on it is at the mercy of the supreme being."

"All living beings, noble or poor, are just tiny things fabricated by the Supreme Being. Every life is like a marionette, destined to die from the moment of birth."

"Emotions, anger, sorrow, joy, beliefs and ideals are all fleeting clouds, leaving no traces in front of time, even for rejecters like me, even after failure."

"Before eternity, we are nothing."

Solandelle felt a sense of loss in her heart, she raised her head, and looked at the same sky as Ye Xiaochen.

If the Supreme Creator really exists, and everything about all living beings is fabricated by Him, and even the trajectory of fate is drawn up, then what is my persistence for so many years, those pains and giving up?
Everything seemed illusory, and she felt as if her first half of her life had never existed.

Ye Xiaochen: "There is only another eternal existence that can span time and face eternity, and that is the rejecter."

"You were just a very ordinary life in the arrogant world, no different from others, everything in life is false, but at this moment, there is one thing that is truly presented in front of you, that is the love from the rejecters .”

"As an eternal life, he is willing to stop before the end for you. Silly girl, do you know what this means?"

"This means that in his heart, no matter in the past, present or future... on every time scale, he loves you deeply."

The newly added dry wood in the bonfire was almost burned out, and the light became extremely dim. Even Solandelle's face could not be illuminated, and the whole person was slowly swallowed by darkness.

爱吗
What a distant word.
Since leaving Dogland, this word has been forgotten by her.

All the memories belonging to the past have all withered.

Sometimes, she even dreads going to sleep, because she always goes back to the past in her dreams, and every time she wakes up, she has to suffer the torment of right and wrong.

She lives in this uninhabited and hidden world, and she thought that no one in the world would remember her anymore.

The people had the life they dreamed of and no longer needed her.

The long-desired victory had been won by the enemy, who remembered her no more.

Everyone started their new life and forgot her one after another.

But far away, there was such a person who cared about her from the beginning to the end.

In the 17 years since we met, he has never said "I love you" in person.

But now she suddenly realized.

It turned out that everything he did was saying "I love you".

In the haze, something reflecting the shimmering light could be vaguely seen sliding down, dripping on the withered grass and making a rattling sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Solandelle's trembling murmur came from the darkness: "You said earlier that the arrogance factor in my body is passed down from generation to generation through the Sun King Shrine."

"But on the day of falling gods, the altar of the Sun King's soul was destroyed together with the statue. If I die, the arrogance factor in my body will have nowhere to go. Will it disappear forever?"

Ye Xiaochen shook his head quickly: "The arrogance factor will not disappear. If it loses its host and carrier, it will split into countless fragments and be randomly inherited by people in this world."

"That's the worst thing that can happen to the Pride World. Because if you die, the demons are no longer bound. So please don't think about it, don't even think about it."

Solandelle didn't speak. She added a few pieces of firewood to the bonfire again, and the rekindled fire illuminated her. A smile that she hadn't seen for a long time appeared on that little face: "I'm just asking."

It was a smile that Ye Xiaochen, who had lived for thousands of years, could not understand.

Ye Xiaochen dispelled distracting thoughts, and continued: "The factors of arrogance must be one, which means that among the three of us, only one can witness the final answer."

"This person should be Kino, but as long as you are alive, he will never be able to reach the end."

"So, please go to the end instead of him, complete the unification of the seven sins, and end this ancient reincarnation."

"Everything has been prepared for you. Two days later, the army of reincarnations will descend on Pride World, and Captain Luo Qingfeng will suppress all reincarnations and make them immobile."

"And you will absorb the arrogance factor in me and Kino, and become the next generation of arrogance."

"Although everything has to start from scratch, your road will not have any difficulties, and you will not encounter reincarnation hunting, because all reincarnations have been suppressed in this world, and you will not lose your way, because every step Luzino will follow. Walked for you."

"As long as you learn his method, support the people, and let them respect you like a god, you can easily harvest the awe value, without even a little war and gunpowder smoke, and you will become the happiest one among the arrogances of all ages. "

"So, go forward, Solandelle, with the will of me and Luo Qingfeng, with Kino's love for you, and go to the end."

Under Ye Xiaochen's longing gaze, Solandelle didn't give a definite answer, she just silently looked up at the night sky, and said softly, "I have a request."

Ye Xiaochen said without hesitation, "Say it."

Solandelle: "I want to go back to Dogrand.

Ye Xiaochen nodded: "Of course. But please wait for me here for two days, I'm going to meet Luo Qingfeng right away, and when we control the main force of the reincarnation, I'll come and pick you up back to Doguland."

"Back to the snow on the 30th day, you will ascend to become a god in your hometown!"
