"Have you seen it?"

"I saw him, he lived in my house for a while."

"An ordinary person?"

"Well, he is a young man who has endured hardship."

"The person you went to China to pick up?"

"No, the emperor arranged it. When I saw him, he was already near my house."

Nangong recalled his first meeting with Lin Qingluo that month, and couldn't help but shook his head with emotion. Although the two had only known each other for two or three months, it felt as if a long time had passed.

"After that young man came here, he was not familiar with anything, but he learned all kinds of things very quickly, but his emotions were always tense."

"Besides, did the emperor say anything else?"

"He...please ask me to take good care of this junior."

The most fundamental reason why Nangong Nayue was so close to Lin Qingluo came from the emperor.She is the first contractor of Emperor Huangquan, and she should take care of her fellow travelers.

And in the future, if she passes away, the responsibility of guarding the present world will be handed over to Lin Qingluo, and she must confirm whether he is qualified.

If he doesn't, no matter what the emperor thinks, she will ask him to find other contractors as insurance for her future absence.

Fortunately, Lin Qingluo was a very good child. From him, Nangong Nayue saw integrity, determination and determination that ordinary people did not have.

Maybe Lin Qingluo will change his policy of doing nothing after taking over her responsibilities in the future, but this may not be an opportunity for the world to move forward.

After spending such a long time together, Nangong had determined Lin Qingluo's character in that month.She wouldn't ask too much about what he did, but she would definitely guarantee his life.

——People can only grow through experience. Nangong Nayue didn’t mind when Lin Qingluo fell and got injured, because this is a necessary process of life, and no one can be an exception.

"The emperor has chosen a good person. I...I have learned a lot from him."

"That's it, that's good...that's good."

Shan Lan nodded happily. Seeing Nangong Nayue's expression at this time, he knew that there were many things that he no longer needed to ask. The answers were already in their hearts.

"Nangong Nayue, let me ask you one last question."

"You said."

"If Lin Qingluo's life is threatened one day, will you protect him at all costs?"

"I can."

"Is it so decisive?"

"Because this is an agreement."

Nangong Nayue's tone was extremely firm. She had lived for more than 1000 years. The long time had worn away her attachment to life. She didn't mind her own death. She was just worried about the future of mankind.

And now, the emperor has chosen her successor. Since Lin Qingluo is suitable for this position, Nangong has been looking forward to this kind of change of responsibilities for a long time that month.

She... is really tired. Thousands of years of time, vicissitudes of life, and people's hearts have changed. She is exhausted, and the wind and frost have dyed her memories white.

"I never dare to forget the agreement I made with the Emperor. I have received so much from the Emperor. I am really grateful. Thank you very much."

"That's it...your answer really makes me helpless."

Shan Lan was very familiar with this kind of answer, because when the emperor once asked him, he also answered him like this.

However, the emperor said that he was wrong at that time, because some things are just good as long as you do your best, and it does not have to cost your life. It is even more cruel to pay all the costs.

"Nangong Nayue, just try your best. Don't make it too difficult for yourself. Just try your best."

"I... actually quite like my successor."

For the first time in that month, Nangong showed her love for Lin Qingluo in front of others. This was not a love between a man and a woman, but as an elder and a senior, she liked his passion and vitality very much.

"I believe that he can take over my responsibilities. Perhaps in his mind, he can handle these responsibilities that are almost crushing me."

"Ha...that's really an interesting kid."

"Well, it's very interesting. The emperor has a good eye for people."

"I think so too. The people the emperor recognizes are all good."

Shan Lan didn't have much contact with Nangong Nayue before, but today when he chatted with her in person, he was even more impressed by the emperor's vision.

At that time, when the emperor saw Nangong Nayue, who was still a little girl, he recognized her at a glance and placed the responsibility related to the future of the two worlds on her shoulders.

Shan Lan also had to admit that a thousand years was too long and torturous for human beings, but Nangong never slacked off in that month, and she completed her work well, very well.

"Nangong Nayue, I am very happy to chat with you today. Now, there is no need to test me. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"it is good……"

Nangong felt the change in Shanlan's attitude that month. The exchange between the two was undoubtedly successful. It was really possible for this matter to be resolved peacefully.

"Sir Shanlan, I don't want you to go back to sleep, but if you can remove the death barrier, I can find a way to provide you with the soul source you need for recovery."

"Nangong Nayue, I understand your worries, but things may not be what you think."

Shanlan has been with the emperor for dozens of thousands of years. He is a veritable giant in the ruin world. The reason why he has been sleeping in the real world for so long and has fallen to such a miserable state is of course not simple.

"I'm here, not because I want to, not because I need to, but because of responsibility...a responsibility that can never be shied away from."

"What's the meaning?"

"A long, long time ago, before you left your hometown and you were a happy witch in a small town, there was a tragic war here."

"Here, war? I... seem to have seen some records, but they are not very detailed."

"Of course I won't go into details, because all the humans I saw were dead. Tokyo at that time was much smaller than it is now, but most of it was destroyed by the aftermath of the battle, and countless people died."

Shan Lan has been fighting for the empire for more than 25 thousand years. He has become accustomed to fighting on the battlefield and has long been prepared to die.That battle was the closest he came to death, the only time in 25 thousand years.

"I was the commander of that war, and the reason for the defeat was my carelessness. I misjudged the determination of the Godly race to attack, and I did not expect that their creator god would take action."

"The...Creator God of the Godly Clan?!"

"Ha... In that war, all the legions under my command were wiped out. Only I was more difficult to die, and I was left alone. It was all thanks to the hasty action of the emperor and another great being that the disaster was eliminated."

"So, you didn't go back?"

"Go back? Where should I go back? My comrades, my lover, and my soldiers all died here. What face do I have to go back to see their friends and lovers? How should I answer when those people ask ?”

That battle was an eternal pain in Shan Lan's heart. Although no one blamed him, after all, the creator god of the divine race took action, he could not forgive himself because everything could have been avoided.

If...he wasn't careless, or he gave the monster enough time.

Shan Lan believed that he was guilty, so he did not go home and rejected the emperor's idea of ​​treating him.

After all, the emperor suffered extremely serious injuries in that battle. Even Shan Lan doubted whether the injury could be cured. In that case, how could he let the emperor consume his strength?

——He can die, tens of millions of coffin clans can die, and countless wild souls can die, but the emperor cannot allow any mistakes!

In the end, with his persistence, the emperor was persuaded and he stayed in the real world and on this battlefield. The seriously injured emperor returned to the Ruins Realm to recuperate and never touched another hand in a thousand years.

"..."

When Nangong Nayue listened to Shan Lan's story, she could naturally tell that he had concealed many details, but the girl had no intention of asking any more questions.

After all, that battle took place thousands of years ago. At that time, she had just signed a contract with the emperor, and she was still an innocent little girl, causing trouble in a small mountain town isolated from the outside world.

However, Nangong Nayue wondered if it was because of the injuries left over from that battle that the emperor had to reduce his activities, so he had so much free time to chat with her often.

"Your Excellency Shanlan, thank you for your efforts. It must be your credit that the battlefield has turned into the beautiful scenery it is now."

"Oh, it's just a matter of purification."

Shan Lan said it very easily, but little did he know that just one sentence would last more than 100 years.

The subsequent pollution of a battle required a powerful person from the Coffin Tribe to be purified for hundreds of years. One can imagine how tragic the situation was at that time.

However, everything has passed, and Shan Lan doesn't want to recall the pain, so he described it lightly, as if it was just 'Ultraman fighting a little monster'.

"Nangong Nayue, although I am a bit dependent on my old age, but I... I am actually very strong. Even in this state, it is not something that a few humans can disturb."

"..."

Nangong Nayue had never doubted Shanlan's fighting ability. When he heard what he said, the girl's mood immediately sank to the bottom.

The Doomsday Association is self-righteous and uses a certain method to try to wake up Shanlan to cause trouble. Normally speaking, it is impossible for them to succeed, but now they have succeeded.

In other words - the method they used, let alone humans, might not even be known to the Coffin Clan!

"Are the people from the Doomsday Association related to the Abominations?"

"It should be so. In that battle, their creator gods were injured. How could they continue to fight head-on? They must use all possible means."

Shan Lan knew that such a day would come from the very beginning, and the emperor had also anticipated it, but they didn't think it was a big problem.

The gods have long been eyeing this world, but they were arrogant at first and thought they could defeat it easily. After defeat, they would naturally change their ways.

"Nangong Nayue, I hope you remember that no matter what, the wild soul and human beings are reflections of each other, and preying and hunting are natural principles. But the evil...is devouring the living world!"

Chapter 185: Today was destined thousands of years ago

"I will keep your reminder in mind."

Nangong had come into contact with many coffin tribes that month. Some of them were deep-minded, some were moody, and some were simple and easy to understand, but Shanlan was the only one who was different from them.

He is like an elder. No matter what he says, there is no harshness in his tone. He just expresses expectations for the future of his descendants.

"Nangong Nayue, no matter what happens, don't lose confidence in the future. Because the emperor's eyes are always watching the world..."

Shan Lan's voice suddenly became a little erratic. He obviously wanted to say something, but he didn't know what the consequences would be if he told Nangong that month, so he seemed a little hesitant.

"The reason why I stay here is to seal one of the tentacles of the evil being. It is a part of the real god. After the battle, we did not have time to destroy it and could only seal it temporarily."

"I have upheld this responsibility and it has not changed for thousands of years. The tribe of the gods has bewitched some people. Some of the information they transmitted caused the remains of the gods to start to move. In order to suppress him, I had to launch the Death Knot. World, find a way to get some energy."

"I'm sorry that my choice caused the death of some humans, but the lesser of the two is the worst, and I can only do this in a hurry. With these words, I am not excusing myself, I just want to explain the reasons. I do I've done everything I could, and now I'm running out of fuel and it's almost the end."

In Shanlan's mind, he had died in the war a thousand years ago, and he had survived until now just to make up for his mistakes.

But now, he has completed his agreement with the emperor, his work has been completed, and he can put down this responsibility and move toward his end with peace of mind.

"Nangong Nayue, the Lingcoff clan each has its own personality, and many of them are not so lovable, but they are my clansmen after all. In the future... please take more care of them."

"..."

Yan.Xi 25㈧二㈧ЧЧ④

Nangong Nayue looked up at Shanlan, watching this ancient existence gradually withdrawing his consciousness from this body and returning to his origins, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Sir Shanlan, you...how can I help you?!"

"No, that's not necessary. Everything today was destined a thousand years ago."

Shanlan nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with expectation and relief. He had really lived for too long, and he had lived a really hard life for the past 1000 years. It was great to let go of this responsibility.

"Emperor, I have fulfilled your instructions! Your people are about to embark on their final journey. May your glory be with me forever!"

"..."

Nangong seemed a little at a loss as to the outcome of this matter that month.She had no idea that the small tricks done by the Doomsday Association would eventually make an existence like Shanlan disappear forever.

He is the emperor's blade, the general who has fought for the Nine Hells for 25 thousand years. His power far exceeds Nangong Nayue's speculation. Now that he is about to dissipate, what should we do with the existence of his seal?

"time is limited."

Nangong Nayue knew that he had to make a choice. Although there were many people here in Mount Takao, there were hundreds of times more people in Tokyo!

To save the tourists on Mount Takao, Shan Lan must remove the barrier of death. However, if the energy supply is lost, Shan Lan will die quickly, and then the remains of his sealed god will appear in the world.

——Nangong Nayue does not have the ability to save everyone. She must bear her own responsibility and examine both ends of the scale with absolute rationality.

"People near Mount Takao must be evacuated immediately."

Nangong Nayue turned around and ran outside. Shanlan didn't deliberately stop her, and the girl easily left the barrier.

Then, as the commander-in-chief of the Tokyo District of the Hidden Soul Institute, Minami Natsuki issued an order for a large-scale evacuation of the area near Mount Takao. After dispatching the tasks, she had enough time to report the situation.

No one would have thought that the situation would be so bad. According to the records of the Soul Hiding Academy, Mount Takao was just a point with strange fluctuations, and no abnormality had ever occurred in thousands of years.

But the people of the Doomsday Association interrupted this fragile balance. The remnant body of the evil god had already felt Shanlan's weakness, and its appearance seemed inevitable.

——This kind of thing must have been foreseen by the emperor during the thousand-year war.

"Emperor, he..."

Nangong Nayue tried to send a message to his contractor, but did not receive a reply. Nangong Nayue, who was extremely anxious, did not know that the emperor had forgotten all this, so he did nothing.
