This settlement has a size of less than [-] people, and there are less than [-] young children. These children should have tried hard to find the meaning of their existence in this world, but it is a pity that they could not find it at all. The boy was almost clothed. Not covering the body, the girl is a little better, but it is almost like rags wrapped around the body casually.

These rotten cloth strips were even worn by grandma and mother. Now that you smell it a little closer, you can definitely smell a disgusting smell. Unlike other adults, most of the children crowded to the front, and they whispered Talking about something, the little eyes are full of curiosity.

And the older child has lost the light in his eyes like everyone else. Xia Yi reached out and put his hand on the head of a boy next to him and stroked it twice. He raised his head and looked at Xia Yi curiously. What does Xia Yi want to do.

"Are you looking forward to the next scene?"

When Xia Yi asked, the child immediately nodded twice.

"I have never been allowed to go to the ground. I am very curious about what the ground looks like. Even though I know that the ground is covered by eternal night, I still want to witness it with my own eyes. I want to be a hunter, the ultimate goal of my dream." Get out once before you die."

This child is full of curiosity about the outside world. His face is dirty, and his body has stains that can't see the original color of his skin. The sour smell emanates from him, but his eyes remind Xia Yi of himself when he was a child.

He also looked up at the starry sky. Although he was young and ignorant, he stretched out his hand to the starry sky. Even though he didn't know why he did that, it should be an instinct deep in the soul of the human race.

"What do you think life is for?"

"Why? I don't know. I only know that if I have to spend my whole life here, I will feel very uncomfortable. Even adults don't know the outside world. I just want to understand, but the elders will never allow it. If you come from outside, uncle, do you know what's outside?"

"Having everything we've ever wanted."

"Desire? What is desire?"

"It's just like you need to drink water when you're thirsty, maybe it's the meaning of our coming to this world, something that makes us different from all living beings."

"What is the meaning of our coming into this world?"

"Well, it's not just for living."

After Xia Yi finished speaking, the boy fell into deep thought. The old man stood in the center of the crowd and took a deep breath. His expression was serious and somewhat expectant. He seemed to be enjoying what he was going to do next.

"Everyone, we were born in this world, why do we have hard-won lives?"

The old man started his narration, Xia Yi fell silent, stood in the crowd and gave the old man all the home court. Many people didn't respond to the old man's question at all, even if they had thought about this question when they were young, As we grow older, we forget everything.

He even forgot that he was born as a human being.

"Our ancestors were once hunted by beasts. Do you know what a beast is?"

The old man asked such a question, but no one answered. People didn't even have the impression of beasts in their minds, and they hadn't even heard the word before, so they couldn't understand its meaning at all.

"I don't know, what is a beast!"

Just as the old man sighed and was about to continue, the child next to Xia Yi raised his hand, which made the old man smile instantly.

"Beasts are beings that once lived in this world like us. Some of them are weaker than us and can do nothing but run away. Some are stronger than us. Their bodies are several times our size. They have fangs and Sharp claws, they have a speed far beyond our reach, just being scratched, bitten, even if we are seen by them, we will die."

"We are far inferior to these beasts that live in this world with us, they should be the overlords, but our ancestors just because they saw something, thought about why there were those things, and stretched out their hands to them, everything was for nothing. change."

"Everyone, take a closer look at the murals left by your ancestors on the surrounding rock walls. Do you know what they mean?"

After the old man said this, even Xia Yi looked at the surrounding rock walls. He didn't pay attention at first. The mural on the rock wall was a scene of people pointing their fingers at the sky. There were many small dots in disorder, Xia Yi recognized what they were, and they were the star map where the new Taoism was located.

Perhaps in the first period of time after the great migration of the human race, the people of the old Taoism were not yet desperate. They were unwilling to give up their hometown, and stayed stubbornly in this star that raised the human race, looking forward to the day when they could rise again, and even the history was better than summer. Yi imagined that he was even more helpless.

Those who left were forced to flee their hometowns. For the continuation of the human race to take root, most of the strong people of the human race stayed in the old way and never gave up. For everything seen by the old Taoism, the corpses of the innate clan and the remnants of the human race, Xia Yi heard the cry of killing from ancient times.

We have never stopped, no matter how deep the night is, the flames of panic in our hearts will never go out, touching the sky, may the glory of the human race last forever.

Many people have used their spiritual intelligence again after several decades to think about why their ancestors left these things. They lived underground, and they had never even seen the dark sky, but they followed the murals, completely Subconsciously, he reached out his hand to the rock wall above his head.

"Beyond the eternal black sky, there is another eternal thing, which is the dream of our ancestors for generations, where the starry sky is, we may eventually be completely annihilated here, our destiny ends here, and our love for It’s not worth mentioning in terms of the real world, but at least we’ve been looking for the real world.”

"Our ancestors were willing to burn themselves to show off the heavens, not to let the future generations hide in this small cave without knowing the taste of life and death. We are afraid of death, but we should be more afraid of dying as human beings. Why are we born? To be human is because we are destined to touch..."

Halfway through the words, the old man clenched the picture crystal on his chest, and the boundless and fascinating endless starry sky appeared in front of everyone through projection. The stars were dotted on the dark curtain like constant sand, and every faint bright spot was A larger unknown world.

The stars are shining, and the immortal brilliance alternates between birth and death. This is a never-ending scene and the greatest destination of the human heart.

"This sky!"

The old man then talked a lot about the shining stars, the beautiful planets, the distant galaxies and the history that our ancestors really touched.

Ants who never know the so-called, do not know whether tomorrow will be life or death, have changed from the blood of beasts to the spirits of all things, because people always think about the stars in the sky at night, and all kinds of myths, expectations, and good talks are all realized.

Although the starry sky is not as kind as people imagined, there are always people who are heading towards the starry sky. When the starry sky can hold the starry sky, people finally realize where they should go, stepping over mountains and deserts, crossing rivers and rivers, in the forest, in the snow. On the ground, in the desert, in the valley, in the burrow under the dark sky, as long as they see the starry sky, people will remember why they were born.

To touch the sky.

In the underground settlement, the old man finished telling everything he knew. The elder in the settlement opened his mouth slightly and looked at other people with a very complicated mood. Those empty-eyed people shed tears and forgot Forget about the past, what is the purpose of wasting these years?

It turns out that they have such a glorious history. It turns out that they should not have been waiting to die in this burrow since they were born. People could have accepted the darkness. If they had never seen the light, they could have lingered in the cold. If they had never felt to warm.

Can die so nobody cares, if never see the stars.

"Can't... continue like this."

People who hadn't spoken in decades were barely speaking again.

"I'm alive!"

The man with empty eyes clenched his fists, and starlight reflected from the depths of his pupils.

"Return to the starry sky! We must return to the starry sky!!"

Having lived in the settlement all his life, the elderly man who had never been out of the burrow beat his chest and couldn't help crying hoarsely.

"outside world……"

Deep in the souls of the children, the flames of panic rooted in the hearts of the human race are ignited, and will last until death. If people have a fire in their hearts, if they are buried in the depths of the burrow, if this life can only end in depression like this, Then they would rather embrace death immediately.

"Everyone, here is a good news for everyone. I have traveled to various settlements. Although some people refuse, some insult, and some only care about their own life, many settlements with good conditions are unwilling to take risks, and many settlements that are on the verge of extinction rob me. Some food, but more settlements are willing to take out ancient relics, let's build a starship together!"

"For this, everyone's sun is needed..."

The old man pointed to the golden tripod at the top of the cave. This is the only intact ancient relic in each settlement, and it is also the most precious material and energy source. But taking away the golden tripod means that the settlement will die from now on.

Should we linger until the end before the brilliance is exhausted, or should we show the brilliance at this moment in order to prove the stars again?

The people in this settlement thought for a while, and some raised their hands.

"Return to the starry sky."

"Prove me the way of the human race."

"This life is also death, I want to really live once."

More and more people stretched out their hands, and many hesitated, looking at the children who had not yet grown up, but the children were almost the fastest to raise their hands. They didn't want to become useless people who gave up even thinking. They can endure hunger, they can endure the cold, and they are even willing to fall on the road. At least they have a living goal, but they must not endure the fact that they cannot see the real starry sky.

Lost Jinding.

They die.

Lost starry sky.

The human race died.

"Thank you! There are still thirteen settlements that I haven't been to. When I go through all the settlements, I will find a way to inform you. Please remember that starry sky, and we will arrive again eventually."

The old man bowed excitedly. This is a settlement with a good attitude, and he is willing to give it a try. The elders in this settlement closed their eyes and sighed quietly, but he also prefers to choose to live for real. He has never tasted it since he was sensible. The taste of dreams, but at the end of this dying year, I realized the meaning of life.

In the endless night, in the end of the world, set foot and start again.

Xia Yi watched this scene among the crowd. He really wanted to show his great divine power now and open the dark sky for the people of the human race, but maybe it was not the time yet. What will be the final fate of the glorious mortals of the human race.

Because, this may also be the ultimate fate of the human race.

After a few hours.

Outside the settlement, the children bid farewell to Xia Yi and the old man with tears. The young and middle-aged men in the settlement held decayed weapons and were willing to move towards the dangerous ancient relics around them, trying to find ancient relics that would be beneficial for the future construction of the starship.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yi realized that what the old man was walking was not at all a tragic road of letting people experience the last beauty in despair and then perishing there, but a road of redemption that let people know despair and choose hope.

Walking into the wilderness again, the dark sky shrouded the land, the old man hung a small lamp on his waist, and walked in the wind and sand. Xia Yi accompanied him, listening to him talk about the human race and the starry sky in his eyes.

"Xia Yi, can I really reach all the settlements in my lifetime and live to see the real starry sky?"

On the way, the old man began to worry about this. He began to fear death, because he had a reason to live, and he knew that with Xia Yi's company, the journey should be completed. What he feared was the final failure.

"If you don't do it, you will never see the starry sky, but if you do, the starry sky will definitely respond to you."

"I hope so. The senior who gave me the dream stone also visited other settlements all his life. I took over from him. If something happens to me, I absolutely hope that you can take over from me. I don't know how many predecessors like me would fall On the way, I don't know if the people before have tried it, since they couldn't resist the long night, they accepted it and asked for a final restful sleep. I just don't want to do it."

The old man looked at the dark road ahead, and the wind and sand across his face took away the warmth of his body, but he couldn't bury the fire in his heart. The more he was like this, the more he had to move forward, and the darker he was, the more he had to chase the light. It would be fine if he never touched the sky. The human race can consider themselves humble ants, admit their fate to the painful reality, and leave behind sad and beautiful legends.

But since it has been touched once, it will not change until death, and it is not hesitating to be smashed to pieces.

"Don't you go into that good night gently..."

Xia Yi didn't know why, this sentence came out of his heart, and he said it naturally, this should be the words he heard somewhere in Xuanhuang, it was always accompanied by thoughts about life and death, her mother I like this passage, so I never give up when I am tortured by illness, and I will never accept my fate until the end, even if I am greeted with an inescapable sleep.

"Xia Yi, what do you mean by that?"

"I heard what others said, but I just sent it out of emotion, what do you think?"

The old man asked Xia Yi why he said this, Xia Yi smiled and didn't answer, the old man paused for a while, and then moved forward with more effort.

"Rage against the dying of the light, roar at dusk."

The old man said so.

According to the old man, the settlement I met before was very friendly, unlike some settlements, which were completely isolated from the outside world.

This kind of settlement is generally full of aggressiveness and hostility to outsiders, and is inaccessible among hunters. The residents of these settlements may have mutated in the long-term darkness, and refuse to communicate or go out. Sooner or later that little thing will run out.

According to some hunters, the residents in this kind of settlement have lost the ability to think and turned into humanoid beasts. They can even eat people. Even the old man himself has never explored that kind of settlement.

Coincidentally, after bidding farewell to the previous settlement, the next settlement that I spent two months finding was just like this.

Xia Yi and the old man stood at the entrance of the cave blocked by chaotic rocks. The old man was wondering if he should go in. If he was the only one, he wouldn't dare to take the risk at all, but if Xia Yi protected him, maybe even people in this kind of settlement could get it. Salvation from the stars.

"Are you sure you want to go in? The scene inside may give you nightmares. Even if we go in, we may not be able to do anything, and even kill people in order to protect ourselves."

The old man looked at Xia Yi with a serious expression. In fact, he was the one who was unwilling to give up. This kind of settlement was too dangerous. Even if he returned to the youngest age, he would not dare to enter alone. Entering this kind of settlement, he held a lantern in his left hand and a dirty dagger in his right hand, and it was obvious that he was nervous.

"Go in. People didn't want to become like that. It's also a good thing for one person to regain consciousness."

Xia Yi has seen too many cruel scenes, and many of them were even done by himself. Xia Yi has not only experienced many battles, but also experienced years of precipitation. As a god, there are very few things that can surprise Xia Yi up.

"Then... let's enter!"
