Xingtie: After my death, Liuying will understand love.

Chapter 476: Your Own Soul

When the end of the world comes, society will completely lose order and develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Beside this deserted street, a tall, purple-haired girl frowned slightly, wearing a close-fitting dress that was easy for her to move in. Although the dress was plain, it could not hide her slender and well-proportioned figure.

The hem of her skirt swayed gently in the wind, and the dark purple scabbard hanging diagonally at her waist suppressed the flying angle of her skirt.

The tall purple-haired girl took down a gray-yellow poster from the wall. On it was a black figure kneeling in worship, and it said: [Join the Self-Destruction Sect and pray for God’s blessing]

[The gods turned their anger into eternal night, and only death can seek God's forgiveness]

[Join the Self-Destroyers and seek a true future for Izumo! ]

"ridiculous..."

"Long time no see, Mei."

After hearing the familiar voice, the tall girl was slightly startled, tore the poster into pieces, and turned to look to the other side of the road.

An Ming has grown a lot taller over the years, but he is still a little shorter than the girl in front of him.

"An Ming?"

Mei took three or two steps and jogged, then took An Ming's hand familiarly, looked at him, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

"Look at you, you're so dirty. It's been a long time since you took a shower."

"Only two or three months?" An Ming answered truthfully: "The last time I bathed in the blood of evil beasts."

Mei's eyes moved back slightly, "Are you still using that knife?"

"You know, all swords are the same to me...but you are almost old enough to draw out the Zhaodao," An Ming changed the subject of Mei and turned to talk about the [Ming].

"Uncle Ling Yi wants to become the Imperial Sword Master for me."

Mei's tone dropped for a moment, and then she said nonchalantly: "You coming here means you have also received the order to support the east side?"

"The frequency of evil beasts falling in Takamagahara is increasing."

"Well...it's already at the rate of once every three days," Mei's tone did not hide her worry, and if they continued like this, there really wouldn't be much time left for Izumo.

"Some time ago, Senior Hikari came to the western fortress in person and killed 100,000 evil beasts with one sword, turning the entire western plain into frozen soil, which prevented the evil beasts from successfully breaking through."

An Ming listened to Mei's words somewhat absentmindedly, but his eyes kept looking at the girl's profile that had experienced countless battles.

Mei undoubtedly performed outstandingly during these three years. At the young age of thirteen, she had made many military achievements and was hailed as the imperial swordsman who was most likely to surpass Minazuki Sheng.

Although it had been several months since they last met, there was no sense of unfamiliarity between the two. They walked side by side on the street naturally, enjoying this rare reunion.

"An Ming..."

Mei's personality is somewhat similar to Sakura's. She is also the type who speaks her mind directly and is not good at beating around the bush. "If, I mean if, in the end there is really no chance to save Izumo."

She looked at An Ming quietly. Her eyes were as beautiful as purple crystals dyed by the sunset, as if expressing extremely complex emotions.

"Will you stay with me?"

Mei doesn't really understand love, but if Izumo is really going to be destroyed, she doesn't want to be alone.

In today's Izumo, if you don't say many things now, you will never have the chance to say them again.

Mei means that she wants Anming to be with her, just like when they were children. If she were to face the end of the world alone, she might be scared.

Two people won't do.

To be precise, I wouldn't feel afraid if I were with An Ming.

"Mei."

An Ming held Mei's hand and replied solemnly: "I won't let you die."

"So... Izumo will not be destroyed."

"Stupid An Ming..." Mei pursed her lips tightly and stared at An Ming with a look of looking at wood. She felt a little lost in her heart. Is this what they call a broken heart?

"I mean I don't need so many prerequisites, and I'm willing to be with you."

An Ming's next words made Mei's cheeks slowly heat up. Miss Mei, who was rarely shy, now did not dare to look directly into An Ming's eyes.

But their reunion time was soon interrupted, as countless illusory black roots suddenly spread out in the sky above the city, and evil beasts poured into the city like a tide.

But just as it was about to fall, holes opened up in mid-air, absorbing all the evil beasts and dropping them into a distant border fortress.

“It is the power of Heaven.” No matter how many times you have seen it, you will be shocked by the sight before your eyes.

From the beginning to the end, they could not control whether the place where the evil beast appeared was a densely populated city, and the only way to minimize casualties was for Yuan Yuesheng to personally open a space rift and teleport the evil beast to the border of the fortress.

As to why they don't just teleport to outer space or the land of death, firstly, the energy consumed in that way would be extremely huge and it would not be able to support so many teleportations. Secondly, Izumo simply does not have so many lands of death to accommodate the evil beasts, and even the abyss will be filled up sooner or later.

You have to know that the evil beasts have existed for more than ten Amber Ages, and there will be no end no matter how many you kill.

"It seems we have to head east as soon as possible," An Ming and Mei looked at each other, both knowing that the situation was urgent and could not be delayed.

...

...

Deep inside the Zhaodao Palace.

Ying adjusted her breathing rhythm and her injuries were slowly recovering.

There are many side effects of overusing the Zhaodao, but for Sakura, it just makes her mentally a little depressed, and she needs to rest for a while to recover.

"Ying, I still remember the first time I met you," Annie said as if she didn't care while sitting between the thrones. "When you saw me, your expression was as serious as if you had seen a dead person."

"Now that you think of it, what do you remember?"

"Just some memory fragments."

Aini murmured, "But I know that those memories should not be viewed by 'me'." The girl with long white hair smiled self-deprecatingly.

“My duty is to save the world.”

The meaning of Izumo's Aini's existence is to save the world, or to guide someone to the destination of salvation.

She should never consider the rest, just fulfill her duties honestly.

Ying's expression was rarely full of emotion, she knew clearly that neither she nor Annie could change the cycle of reincarnation, just like the fixed NPCs in the game, only when the protagonist controlled by the "player" took action could the future of the world be changed.

"You haven't left here since the war against Takamagahara began," Sakura seemed to have thought of something and murmured, "Do you want to change the cycle of reincarnation?"

"I am... [Savior] Aini."

Annie gently opened her eyes, and countless truth-like data flashed by like flowing light. When [truth] was running at full speed, she would be able to see through all the truths in the world.

Sakura is right, but there is another possibility.

When an NPC in the game has enough plots, it will no longer be affected by the "Creator" and have its own——

soul.
