Chapter 573: Staying Alive is a Great Thing
Long Jing sat quietly on the bench, basking in the warm sunshine.
She seldom made time for it, as she had always been on the lookout for strong men before. However, ever since Pinoconi was defeated by An Ming's open and honest sword, her mentality had changed greatly.
There is nothing wrong with challenging the strong, the problem lies in the meaning behind the challenge.
If one can comprehend this, the Dragon Crystal will gain an amplification no less than that of the Sword Heart, but otherwise the road will be damaged and one will no longer be able to use the Dragon Crystal freely.
Fighting is not just for the sake of fighting, but for the sake of growing in the fight.
After leaving Pinoconi, Long Jing rarely challenged anyone. This was naturally due to the damage of the dragon crystal, but the deeper reason was that she wanted to understand what a truly strong person was.
An Ming's eyes were filled with absolute confidence, as if he could make the planet work for him with just his words. What kind of heart could nurture such a look?
So after learning about An Ming's news, Long Jing calculated the time limit for reaching Pierpoint and came to Luofu.
She had to do this to resolve the last confusion in her heart before going to Pierpoint.
"You're just going to wait here?"
A familiar voice sounded from the side. Long Jing tilted his head and saw An Ming. He handed over a bottle of water and said, "Luofu also has many attractions. I thought you would go shopping first and then come back."
"Mr. An Ming, nice to meet you again." Long Jing was not the type to be shy, so he got straight to the point and said, "It is definitely not convenient for me to listen in on your conversation with Ms. Heita, and my business is not that important."
"Just call me An Ming. Sit down and talk."
An Ming was a little uncomfortable with the dragon crystal in front of him. To be honest, it was difficult to connect her with the fighting maniac of Pinoconi.
But Long Jing's next sentence made him even more uncomfortable: "An Ming, I want to ask you about the War of the Gods." Fortunately, An Ming didn't drink water when he heard this, otherwise he would have sprayed Long Jing in the face.
No dude, is that right? When did the War of the Gods become something that is "not that important"? This is the War of the Gods, not the War of the Star Train Pillows.
"ask me?"
An Ming pointed at himself, a little confused. He was asking him about the company's secrets? Who were the ten people of Shi Xin?
"Opal always says that there will inevitably be a war of gods in the future that will determine the fate of all," Long Jing said calmly. In her opinion, although the war of gods is confidential, the combat power of the envoys is something that almost everyone knows.
“The ultimate goal of the company is to establish a single order, which is the absolute law of symbolic preservation.”
"I want to ask your opinion."
Long Jing asked all the questions in her heart straightforwardly. In her eyes, An Ming, who could cut four cornerstones with one sword, was a real strong man.
And what will the War of the Gods look like in the eyes of the strong?
An Ming fell into a brief thought, and finally came to a conclusion, "Does King Amber know about this?"
Long Jing also shook her head honestly, "No one can understand His thoughts, and everything he does is just a guess." Although she has never regretted embarking on this path, she sometimes feels lost because she can't see the end.
But preservation is a fate that is easier to understand than nothingness. At least the Amber King is always swinging his giant hammer and falling, instead of lying in a corner of the universe Oo.
"Is it really okay for you to tell me this?" An Ming was still a little worried about the personal safety of this carefree girl in front of him. The company should not be able to silence her.
"Diamonds can always see through our thoughts, so I must have been under observation standing here."
Long Jing was not panicked. On the contrary, he was calm, like a prisoner on death row having his last meal. "We haven't held a meeting since the foundation stone was damaged. It's a question whether we can continue to be Long Jing after this."
This time, An Ming thought for a longer time. Facing the sincere Long Jing in front of him, all he could do was to give a sincere answer.
"If preservation is to be the only law of the universe, then preservation must be the only destiny. But this is obviously an impossible result, and the Amber King has never made such a will for the company."
An Ming didn't know who was going to start this war of gods, but no matter what, this war would affect the entire universe and lead to the so-called end.
"This is a truth that everyone understands, but the Interstellar Peace Corporation is like an ark that was set to a destination before it was created. No one has the right to stop this ark."
"The last thing I want to ask is... why are you so powerful?"
There was a hint of confusion in Long Jing's eyes. She wanted to get some practical answers from An Ming, such as swinging the sword ten thousand times a day, or practicing some secret book, or believing in a certain destiny.
"It's a very clichéd answer actually." An Ming just smiled faintly under the setting sun, turned his head to look in the direction of the inn, his eyes soft, "To protect my important family."
"..."
Long Jing didn't speak for a long time, but when An Ming looked at her again, he heard a relieved laugh.
"Really? Yes... Actually I know that," Long Jing said with a smile, but there was some emotion in his eyes, "But I no longer have anything to protect."
Relatives? They are just a few vague names to Long Jing. Lover? She has always had only herself or her colleagues by her side. The destiny she believes in? Even the gods she has always looked up to...
"Then try to protect yourself."
An Ming pushed the water bottle to Long Jing, "Surviving is also a great thing."
Too many people take it for granted that they can survive, but they don't realize that this alone is a remarkable thing.
The dusk gradually faded away in front of the darkening sky. Long Jing looked at An Ming's departing back with her sparkling eyes and smiled with relief.
She began to understand why An Ming was so powerful.
Long Jing, no longer feeling lost in her heart, embarked on the journey back to Pierpoint, but this time there was no longer any confusion in her eyes.
If the War of the Gods is about to begin, then she will also fight for herself and see the scenery above the Messenger with her own eyes.
Even though it would be difficult and the chance of success would even be zero, Long Jing still wanted to try and prove that she could do it.
Ah Xing, who witnessed everything from a high place in the inn, had just finished today's training of staring into the black tower puppet for one minute. She looked at Long Jing's back and muttered to herself, "Silly child."
An Ming's strength is certainly related to his belief in protection, but it is true that this guy has a real cheat, so how can he not be strong, sister.
