East of Eden

Chapter 58

In the ice-cold palace made of gray marble, the lights were dim, and Emperor Saspin stood holding a sword, and the sword pointed directly at Liang Shiheng's throat.

"Kill the old evils, get rid of the demons! Kill the old evils, get rid of the demons!"

The powerful ministers followed the emperor's will and shouted, and the voices echoed in the hall, only a few old courtiers remained silent, kneeling long and begging the emperor to believe in the coming of natural disasters.

Emperor Suspian gave the red-haired woman beside him a look, and the female general Sopela, the head of the royal army, took the emperor's long sword and planned to execute the sentence here.

"Liang Shiheng, your days are coming to an end." She swung her sword, the bright sword reflected the light.

However, at this moment, a burst of fire split the dome of the palace, bricks and stones rolled down, columns collapsed, and the naked sky was suddenly exposed in front of everyone. Swallowed, countless meteor-like light beams fell from the sky, one of them was splitting in the center of the palace, flames burst out, and the courtiers present dispersed like birds and beasts, only Sopela stayed behind as escort, and Liang Shiheng knelt on the spot.

"This is a natural disaster, it's coming." Liang Shiheng flicked his fingers lightly, shaking the long sword in Sopela's hand.

Under the shocking eyes of the emperor and the female general, he rolled up his robe and walked towards the last astronomy tower in the palace. The four holy relics have been deployed, and he will be in charge of their movements there. This is his most important job.

"Sopella..." After Liang Shiheng left, Emperor Saspin looked at the woman beside him with a solemn and dull expression.

"We were all wrong," he said with a wry smile.

"It's all right, my lord, I can defend it even if it is a natural disaster." Although the red-haired woman's lips trembled, she still picked up the sword on the ground decisively and rushed out, "The royal army obeys orders, resist natural disasters, and protect the palace!"

Wearing golden armor, she gallops on horseback, fighting against irresistible forces in the burning world.

At this very moment, in the underground church at the foot of the city, the nuns of the Holy Moon Sect were chanting, a snow-white light bloomed from Mi Si's hands, and the first holy object was successfully activated.

Followed by Yelan City in the Eastern Continent, the Silver Pigeon Knight Du Chunfeng opened the sacred object, and the cherry blossoms in the city were full of trees.

In the Yepulong tribe in the southern rainforest, giant dragons danced in the air, and in the falling light beams, the sacred objects on the top of the pyramid were slowly opened.

Finally, there is the northern snowfield, where the 21-year-old Cang Xing activates the fourth sacred object as Arthuria.

So far, the whole world has been subtly distorted by some kind of time and space, but there is still a period of time before they completely migrate to the new world line. The four "silent ones" must ensure that the sacred objects are safe and sound during this period.

Just after they each activated the holy objects, huge warships descended behind them respectively.

—as if some kind of premeditated destruction.

The sky was the color of rust, and the stars were within reach.For the first time men saw the falling of the stars, and their burning flames.In this dark meteor shower, everything is falling apart, everything is returning to dust and smoke, only the ominous blue rhinoceros star is inlaid in the center of the sky, watching the loss of life and the disintegration of everything.

The high wind swept the weeds, the hawks fled from the fire in the sky, and on the top of the snow-capped mountains in the northern wilderness, the whole mountain trembled in pain.

The 21-year-old black-eyed warrior heard a strange noise, walked out of the temple, and saw a blond figure coming in snow.

"Liang Chen? Why are you here?"

He looked at his lover walking in the snow. At that time, he was still so loyal, with pure black eyes like dogs.

The Helios warship was temporarily moored at the foot of the hill, in a blind spot, and he walked towards Cang Xing alone in his white running suit, raised his eyes and said:

"I'm here to retrieve the holy object."

He deliberately used a weaker tone to gain trust.How stupid the Cang Xing used to be, unlike 3000 years later, it has become a little more cunning.Helios thought so in his heart, he didn't have any nostalgia for the stupefied barbarian youth in front of him, but even so, in order to see the blue star 3000 years ago, he came here to handle the fourth sacred object in person.

Perhaps to satisfy curiosity.

The dark-eyed warrior hesitated, and Helios raised his hand—

Boom-!

The assault ship landed on the snow field, its posture was not very beautiful, but Xing didn't care so much, he had to arrive before Helios killed himself, otherwise everything would be in vain, and everything would enter the cycle again.

With a Zhanfeng gun on his back, he climbed the rock and snow mountain out of breath, his fingers were so cold that he almost lost consciousness.There was a lack of oxygen on the mountain, and the strong wind was howling. He used the stars to identify the direction and climbed towards the location of the temple in his memory.

Cang Xing has never prayed to the gods in his life, so he did not this time. He climbed the snow mountain step by step and at his fastest speed.

I don't know how long it took, the snow fell more and more, and a golden shadow appeared in front of my eyes.

Helios is ahead!

The moment before the palm of the blond man was about to fall, Xing rushed over and hugged the black-eyed young man in front of him tightly, the body armor on his back blocked the crackling light beams from the warship.

The high-temperature beams burned pits on the body armor, and the fiber structure on the fabric began to rupture, but it still dutifully defended the onslaught.

"Blue Star?!" Helios looked at the man who appeared out of nowhere in surprise.

Xing glanced back at him, his chest heaved and he exhaled white mist.

He always appeared when Helios least wanted to see him, and his vitality was more tenacious than the weeds in the desert, just like a wolf that couldn't get rid of it, biting the wrist of the enemy.Because there is never a retreat, so I will go forward without hesitation until I fall down.This is the star.

Blue Star, just like his name, is an unexpected star in Helios' plan of perfect operation like a celestial body.The light is dim, but cannot be ignored.

When Helios called the name "Cang Xing", the barbarian youth also raised his head.

After 3000 years, Xing slapped him on the top of the head, and said in a low voice, "Get lost, it's none of your business."

He pulled up his former self, blocked him behind him, turned his head and ordered: "Get a horse, go down the mountain, find the real Liang Shiheng, and let him close the sacred object! The real Liang Shiheng is in the Xizhou Palace!"

The black-haired young man was a little dazed, shocked by his sharp eyes: "Then you—"

"I don't care about you, go! Don't make Liang Shiheng wait too long!" Xing roared.

The young man looked at the man in front of him who was carrying a spear, slightly taller than him, and also had black hair and black eyes.He stood between the sky and the earth where meteors fell and burned, like a piece of indestructible iron.

For some reason, the young man felt that this person seemed familiar, like the god of war that he had dreamed of countless nights since he was a child.

God of War should look exactly like this, not having to be gorgeously dressed, holy and dignified, but full of scars, like a lone wolf.

The God Liang Shiheng mentioned actually exists.The barbarian youth felt as if he had seen a miracle.

Looking at the stranger in front of him, the young man seemed to sense something. He saw expectations, blessings, and finally a smile on the man's face.

"Go chase your own destiny." Xing said with his lips.

There was no pronunciation of this sentence, only the opening and closing of the lips in the heavy snow, but the young man understood what he meant.

The snow kept falling, and the real Liang Shiheng was still waiting for him.

At this point in his thoughts, the young man nodded to him, then without hesitation stepped on the horse, raised his whip, and led the rest of his men to gallop towards the foot of the snow-capped mountain, the foamy snow flakes under the horse's hooves were scattered in the wind.

Xingmu watched his back go away, and the wind blew into his eyes, making his eye sockets a little moist.

Let's go, go to Liang Shiheng, don't look back.

Steeds run through the frozen fields, young men with spears in their hands, run with fate.

The long wind blows, and the four fields are boundless;

The sky is blue, call me insane;

The dead are rushing, who will go with them?

The team went away and gradually turned into a black spot on the horizon.

...

Saying goodbye to the former self, the next step is the final conclusion of Xing and Helios.

"Thank you for letting him go," said Star.

"But he may not be able to find Liang Shiheng alive." Helios smiled, and stared at Xing with his curved eyes.Although he smiled, his expression was a little sad, "Then, it's your turn now."

"Ah."

"Do you have to stop me?"

"Yes."

"Well then, we should make a decision." Helios stood in the snowstorm, his white robe blown by the wind.Like a true saint, he opened his arms and held nothing.

He will deal with Cang Xing like this, without using any weapons.

Cang Xing drew out the Zhanfeng Spear, and without any extra dialogue, directly attacked him. The tip of the gun swept a circle in front of Helios, raising snowflakes. In the sharp sound, the Zhanfeng gun was bounced off by an inch.

"This time I changed to a body with the best performance, and I accepted it."

As Helios spoke, he lightly took another blow, and then he slammed open. Cang Xing took the long spear and spun around before standing still. The body of the spear was shaken and buzzed.Without too much rest, Xing attacked again. The black crystal spearhead dragged in the snow like a snake, and slammed up at Helios' feet. However, the flying snowflakes did not block Helios' sight. Works because he doesn't have to blink at all.The sharp spear brushed past his face, and Helios finally moved his feet, still confronting Cang Xing with only his hands.

"In vain." Helios commented.

It is futile to use flesh and blood against man-made machines that are almost as good as gods.

Helios adjusted himself to the combat mode, the maximum power, he is now a sophisticated fighting machine, without any flaws.

The two were circling in the snow, and Helios intended to end it earlier, so he stretched out a palm and caught the edge of the Zhanfeng Spear with his palm.As he put his five fingers together and exerted a little force, the whole Zhanfeng gun was broken into a pile of black crystal debris in front of his eyes.

"You're out of weapons." Helios looked down at him.

"and also."

Xing jerked his head up and slammed into him, hitting him hard on the jaw with a left hook.Helios was completely irritated by his hit. He raised his finger, attracting the black crystal fragments of the Zhanfeng gun on the ground to float into the air, and then snapped his fingers, and the sharp fragments shone with electric current towards the stars. attack.

The body armor was basically damaged when it resisted the light beam just now. At this moment, the black crystal fragments were inserted into Cang Xing's body one by one. He had no time to dodge so many fragments, and was quickly nailed firmly in the snow.

Thin blood flow spread from the wound, gradually submerged in the white snow, bright red and dazzling.

"If I'm kind enough, I'll kill you right now. If I'm cruel enough, I'll keep you here and slowly freeze to death."

Helios took one last look at him, put on his hood, rolled up his robes, turned and walked towards the huge warship.

There are still greater conquests waiting for him to complete.Reason told him that he should not waste any more time on this person.

Thinking of this, Helios, who had already boarded the warship, hesitated for a moment, then concentrated all the beam cannons on the star, ready to launch.And just when he was about to press the button, the entire warship suddenly exploded, and everything was instantly swallowed by the high temperature and submerged in the flames.

There was a loud bang and a huge wave.

The mushroom cloud is getting bigger and bigger, and gradually rolled together with the snow.

Hoshi looked up at the sky that was instantly brightened by the explosion, and let go of the detonator in his hand.

In an explosion of this magnitude, not even the best organism could survive.The big bang was followed by smaller ones, blinding the sky above the snow-capped mountains like holiday fireworks.

Xing's mission was completed. He lay on the soft and fiery snow, feeling the heat wave coming close to his face, and stretched out his hand hard to catch a snowflake falling in front of him.

The snowflakes were soft, and he felt the long-lost tranquility.

Helios is dead, and his young self is running towards Liang Shiheng, is this a success?

Will he forget everything again and wake up from the depths of the snow mountain?

The avalanche caused by the explosion quickly buried him, snowflakes fell from the flames, and only wreckage remained on the ground.
