In 155, due to maintaining the summer sun for a long time, Ke Fan's eyesight deteriorated sharply, and he was almost entirely supported by the sword left by the Green Dragon Queen.
In the same year, the gray fog launched an unprecedented massive offensive. They directly brought down an endless sea of fog and consumed the summer sun. At the same time, they sent down plague and curses to spread across the world. Filthy essences and evil gods walked on the earth. Death spread during that time. Ke Fan won the battle but lost all six mechanical suns.
In 174, an unprecedented microorganism was discovered by a Ceres farmer who grew "red blocks". It had devastating effects on all plant crops. Before Ke Fan could react, it had spread across the continent, directly leading to a total crop failure that year.
This time, Ke Fan was really helpless. She could only kill the abominable biological bacteria and then stare blankly and worry - after all, Xia Yang couldn't conjure up food.
Thanks to Emera's exercise of the power of autumn and the use of the Sword of Ahoin to force the growth of a batch of crops, they were able to overcome this crisis.
In 189, even though he always wore the Sword of Ahoyin, Kefan's eyes could no longer be used.
Since the day she came to Ceres Continent, the glory of the Summer Sun has never been as dim as it is today. She began to learn from Emera, closing her beautiful green eyes and rejecting the Brund family's request to her, saying that even if she went blind, she couldn't take off the Summer Sun.
It was in this year that she fought and killed 94 evil gods in a head-on battle, holding her own sword in one hand and the Sword of Ahoyin in the other.
The people of Thres erected her statues everywhere to thank her for protecting them. Those faiths that were already unstable were broken and rebuilt, and once again the crisis was resolved by force.
Some people began to believe that they could actually win.
Taking advantage of the trend, the Brund family announced an agreement they had made with the Sun King Aimen-Hawen: as long as the people of Thres redeemed their sins with their perseverance, as long as they were still alive and existed at that time, she promised to come back to rescue them, and no matter what they looked like at that time, she would find a way to restore them.
"We can win!"
Cheers echoed from King's Port throughout the entire continent.
"We must persevere! Persevere!"
"We not only have His Highness Ke Fan! We also have the Kingdom of the Sun God behind us!"
"..."
When Hitzfeld saw this scene, his face was gloomy and he said nothing.
For her, who knew the direction of history, she was even a little afraid of the story she would see next.
Because it's already six times...
Six disasters struck this "isolated island" from different directions and angles.
The two Si Chens tried their best to resist it.
And the seventh time was the evil god game that she was very familiar with.
"play games?"
With his eyes covered with a layer of black cloth, Ke Fan was wearing a white robe and standing on the top of the tower with a sword hanging from his waist. He was a little surprised when he heard the news.
"Yes... It is said to be from a code book... As long as you decipher the contents of the book one by one and find a way to deal with the monsters at the end of the level, you can win."
“Isn’t it a little too simple?”
“We also think this is strange…”
"It's hard to say about this kind of thing, I'd better go and take a look myself..."
After the conversation, Ke Fan looked at the western horizon from the top of the tower. When he was about to go down, he found that Emera had come up without him noticing.
"Remember what I said last time here?"
Ke Fan said with a smile.
"Although I can't see it now...but I know it's over there. That's where we were born."
"I am actually a very traditional person. I hope that if I was born in the same place, I will die there."
"If I die, if we all die, I want you to leave a message for Honey so she can bring our bodies back."
"Buried under the sacred oak tree, it can be considered a return to our hometown..."
"Pfft-"
"Ella? You?"
Hitzfeld's eyes widened. This development was completely beyond her expectations?
She knew that the people of Ceres would lose the evil god game, and even Ke Fan would die as a result, and Emera would also be in great danger.
But how could they lose like this?
What did she see?
Emera secretly pulled out the sword of Ahoin and stabbed Kefan's heart from behind?
Why is that?
Why?
"It's you……?"
Life was about to come to an end. Ke Fan turned halfway around. The blindfold had fallen off, and his eyes were bloodshot when he looked over.
"It's you...it's you..."
"I finally... figured it out..."
"It's all..."
"Pfft!"
The sharp blade was pulled out, Xia Zhilong's eyes lost their luster, and he fell down limply.
Emera left.
A huge shadow began to rise above the sea in the distance.
That was Hitzfeld's "old acquaintance", a giant with a hundred faces.
She looked at Ke Fan with a gloomy face, and saw her using her last bit of strength to crawl towards the fire pit, trembling as she brushed away the dust underneath and carved these words on the bottom.
[Don't believe me...]
[Don’t believe…]
[Kefan’s flame…]
Chapter 40: The Second Hundred Years (Part 3)
The last thing Hitzfeld saw was Ke Fan lighting the fire with a grin as the bell rang.
She dragged herself in and covered the flames with her body. The two gradually became indistinguishable from each other.
Here, the flashback ends. She wakes up from reality with fluttering eyelashes, and what she sees is the sky full of sparks.
Oh yes……
After a moment of hesitation, she realized that she was sitting in Xia Yibing's arms.
Xia held me in her arms and sat together on the raised ground. The rising fire was just enough for us to look up at.
Ah, I thought the same thing happened outside... I was a little scared.
Hitzfeld suddenly realized why she liked to look back on the history of the gods. It could be said that her interest in the history of the gods depended on how much she feared the future.
This had nothing to do with any disaster, it was purely because she was afraid that she would lose her humanity in the future, that is, she simply did not want to become the kind of "god" she understood, the kind of rigid, fair, perfect guy who needed to be relied on by everyone.
All these put her under a lot of pressure. If it weren't for the fact that there were two goddesses in Yingye, and Xia Yibing helped her share half of the burden, she felt that she might never come out of the manor in her life, and she could really stay in isolation there forever.
Although she did say that she also likes to travel and see different places. But... since such a wish can be realized by going back in time and sitting at home, why should she travel around?
And the most important effect of retrospection is to let her know that "she is not that serious yet" and "she is far from the point where she needs to worry like this."
Just as the scale of time is measured by comparison, so is life. In the past, she always compared the goddess of shadowy night with ordinary people and the tree people, and she couldn't help but feel fear and worry, as if she was the tallest pillar between heaven and earth, and there was always a sense of mission of "sacrificing one's life for justice" secretly urging her.
But if she looked more into the retrospect, she was comparing herself with the Hours, with the Sun King.
What then was her short life?
Especially the Sun King Aimen-Hawen, the scene where she taught little Kefan, if that was not a fabricated illusion, then she was definitely not the kind of "cold idol" who had lost her emotions.
Rich experience, sincere emotions, and highly sensitive understanding ability, without any of the three, it would be impossible to say those words immediately. Hitzfeld realized at that time that Amen-Haven was not only a cold king and a powerful god, but also a good mother, a gentle mother...
Because in comparison, she and Xia had never said anything similar to Emily.
This cannot be explained by saying "Ke Fan has sisters but Emily doesn't". She is the person involved and she knows it very well. This is why they never wanted to instill similar concepts in Ke Fan.
Teach her how to "understand"?
No... Emily inherited my talent in this area perfectly. She can basically see everything I can see. What prevents her from making further associations is just experience.
It is precisely because of this phenomenon that I misled myself and made myself think that "Emily understands" and "she can understand it."
But Xiao Kefan’s dilemma has made it very clear that the difference between “understanding” and “understanding” can be as vast as the sky.
A single thought can make a clear distinction between love and hate. Compared with His Majesty Harwin's "micro-management" in education, I, who have never taught Emily specifically in this regard, can be said to be very incompetent...
Hitzfeld was glad she had discovered that.
It was not only that she rediscovered and confirmed her own humanity through comparison with the gods and that period of history, but also because she actually saw the example of her "predecessors".
Yes, great predecessors can only be great.
Having also devoured the "Tree of Origin" to "attain enlightenment", the Sun King must have lived much longer than me. Since she can continue to show normal human nature instead of being cold and ruthless as I imagined in the early days, then why should I worry about my own future?
Humans are very cowardly animals.
This is obvious when measured by reality, not to mention history.
To put it bluntly, not everyone has the talent to be a "pioneer".
To create the world and accomplish unprecedented feats, especially to be able to do it, is something that is extremely rare in the history of civilization in any world.
Being able to cross the river by feeling the stones is better than crossing it blindly...
No matter what the excuse is, Hitzfeld finally has the confidence now.
Xia Yibing felt that she was finally back to normal after waking up from a sleep.
It’s not that she was abnormal before, but - after all, I could sense her thoughts a little bit.
She could not hide her anxiety and worry, but now her heart was beating rhythmically in his chest, as if the worry had never been there.
pretty good.
So what did she see in there?
It was naturally inconvenient to talk about these things on the land covered with gray algae. Hitzfeld stood up from her arms, said goodbye to the gray fog giant, stepped into the shadow before her, and went straight back to the manor.
As soon as she arrived, Xia Yibing arrived too.
Unlike when he goes out without going through the front door, Hitzfeld likes to go through the front door when he returns home.
She said that this was more ceremonial and that it was necessary to do it this way to make it seem more intimate.
The repaired iron gate opened inwards with the creaking of mechanical gears. The two walked in almost side by side, pressing down the dirt on the path while discussing the plot.
"Ke Fan's monologue? Do you suspect that her ghost still lingers on that land..."
"Oh, so she really doesn't hate her two younger sisters! Well... Actually, I've already seen this. After all, you know, I used to have younger sisters..."
"It seems that Aimen Harwin is very good at educating his daughter."
"Because I care, it's important... Hey... These words are not something you can say casually. It seems that our Lord Harwin has also had a very complicated love history."
The discussion then became heated, and neither of them wanted the rhythm to be interrupted by the overly ritualistic action of "entering the house", so they tacitly stopped at the steps of the mansion to continue the topic, wanting to finish talking before going into the house to do things.
"I don't understand." After describing what he saw afterwards, Hitzfeld stared at the lawn with a slightly confused look.
"Why would Emera do this?"
Just as the gray algae giants - that is, all the people of Thres - believed, the threats and impacts brought by any of the previous six evil disasters should have been more terrifying than the seventh.
Even though the assassination attempt by the human king seemed weak and insignificant, its impact was so far-reaching that it directly caused the entire alliance to fall into turmoil for the next decade.
If Ke Fan was not really strong, strong enough to suppress all opposition with force, the only outcome of the alliance would be disintegration.
Their enemies understand human hearts...
This is different from "understanding" and "healing". Just as it is much more difficult to repair something than to destroy it, the evil god just wants to take advantage of the weaknesses in human nature to do bad things. The difficulty of this is not easy to compare.
So yeah?
First time, acid rain.
The second time, the disaster of melting.
Third, political turmoil.
