Chapter 148: Long Thoughts (Part 1) (Extra)

Aya stood silently by the lake of fire, waiting.

She knew that there was a wedding of two people in a cave not far away, and she also knew that there would be a separation of two people in that cave. This was a long time ago. When Ning Zhou brought Qi Leren from Neverland to the underground Ant City and promised to summon the old subordinates of the old demon king, she understood that her Majesty decided to go to the Demon Realm.

She could have attended the wedding, witnessed the wedding of a lover, and even served as the emcee, but she had known the ending and finally chose to give up - she couldn't bear to see them parting.

So she waited here, and did not even enter this cave like her colleagues to welcome the Demon King of Destruction. She just waited here, watching the burning flames in the fire lake, and silent for the pain at this moment.

The Void Witch was also not in. She never opened her eyes, but seemed to be "gazing" at the flames ahead.

"It's burning there." The Void Witch whispered.

Aya glanced at her.

"In that cave, the hot love and pain burn together, it is dazzling and desperate." The witch of the Void, "But what is the meaning of this? What is the meaning of life that is dominated by these emotions? Your Majesty can clearly transcend these emotions and approach the origin infinitely, but he always resisted. In order to fulfill his love for the Holy Nun, he destroyed the path to the highest with his own hands. This is ridiculous and sad."

"If the price of becoming God is to even give up your own happiness, then why should you become God?" Aya asked back.

"For the sake of power, unparalleled power." The Void Witch said solemnly.

"But if you can't protect the person you love the most, what's the point of strength?" Aya really didn't understand. She didn't want to forget the initial stumbled herself on the road to pursuing strength.

"Emotion is meaningless, and strength itself is meaning!" said the Void Witch.

Aya suddenly didn't want to argue anymore. She just wanted to use her own strength to make her people live happily. She also wanted to use her own strength to help her Majesty and Qi Leren.

If power cannot protect people who are important, then power is meaningless. To her, power is just a means, it never means.

She believed that the same was true for Ning Zhou.

He never lived for strength, he lived for love. Love for people, love for the world, love for faith, the ultimate gentle light, the brighter and dazzling it is in the darkness.

The sound of footsteps came from the cave. Ning Zhou led the old demon king's old subordinates out and went to the underground Ant City without saying a word.

Aya looked at the tears on Ning Zhou's face in shock. She couldn't imagine what kind of pain it would make the man cry like this. She didn't dare to think about it. She watched the Qileren who was leaving Ning Zhou, and what kind of mood she felt at this moment.

This journey of silent like a funeral did not take them to the demon world.

The destruction king with a lot of worries came to the palace of the Dragon Ant Queen and stopped for a short time. He refused everyone's visit, but borrowed the magic mirror of the Void Witch, looked at Qi Leren through it, and waited until the illusionist arrived at the underground ant city and took Qi Leren away.

He finally walked out of the tower, but did not announce his trip to the demon world, but left the Dragon Ant Queen's palace alone.

Aya followed him silently, not asking where he was going. This may be the reason why she was not driven away.

They walked through the streets and alleys of the underground ant city, like the most ordinary residents, walking in this underground ant city. This was just the most ordinary day in the underground ant city. There were no festivals, no celebrations, and no gatherings. All the worldly noises flowed here, just like before and different from before.

Aya looked at Ning Zhou's back silently. She knew that His Majesty had come to the underground Ant City after being exiled by the Holy See. It was that lonely journey that allowed them to meet in the vast wasteland. She took over his sect and took over the responsibilities she had to bear. She was sent to the queen's palace and was lucky enough to be chosen as the Virgin of the Holy Fire, and she would serve her queen in the dark all her life.

But fate is so wonderful. In this unpredictable and crazy era, an illiterate orphan girl from a desert tribe actually became the supreme queen of this underground city.

This reality, which was even more crazy than the craziest dream, made her lose her direction for a while. Facing the terrible power, the huge palace, the crowds of people trembled so much that they could not open their mouths. She knew that she was not enough to bear this responsibility, and she was not sure to lead her people to a better future, but if she did not work hard, the dungeon would be destined to be dragged into the darkness.

The power demon king and the fraud demon king have already set their sights on this piece of fat. Demons holding various original powers are rampant in the dark lower city area. These forces are constantly eroding her source of order. If she does not fight back hard, her realm will sooner or later be dragged down.

Once she reaches that position, her life will not only belong to herself.

She maintains order, clears obstacles, sweeps the darkness, an understatement of order will cause countless bleeding and deaths, which is too cruel and terrible for a girl who has never left the tribe in eighteen years. A small mistake will take the life of innocent people. Such fear and guilt make her restless all night. She studies desperately and tries to reduce her mistakes, but she is too young after all, and her powerful power does not make her mature and sophisticated enough.

A city made her exhausted, not to mention Ning Zhou, who was about to face the entire demon world. He wanted to test each other with two deep-rooted demon kings, fight wits and courage with the old demon king's old subordinates, and fight against his own original power... The situation he faced would only be thousands of times more difficult than her.

What's more... he left his lover.

One of them wants to fight in the demon world, and the other wants to stick to the twilight land. Their responsibilities are destined to be separated by the sky. Ning Zhou will not let Qi Leren come to the demon world, and the demon world does not welcome humans like him. The other two demon kings must have set their sights on him early. Once Qi Leren leaves the twilight land, the danger he faces will increase exponentially, and if he is not careful, he will die.

Only wait, wait until Ning Zhou engulfs the demon world, or Qi Leren condenses incarnation.

A free incarnation can leave the land of dusk instead to do what he wants to do.

After passing through the streets and alleys of the underground ant city, Ning Zhou and Aya came to a supply point in the underground ant city. This is one of the few places in the Ant City that has contact with the outside world. All items and letters from the exchange will be transferred here.

When Aya saw Ning Zhou walking in, she handed her number plate to the staff at the counter. After confirming the situation, the staff found a letter from his mailbox and handed it to him.

Whose letter is this?

Aya took a step forward in confusion, but saw Ning Zhou looking ahead without focus, as if he was trapped in endless thoughts.

Ning Zhou didn't know the news of Qi Leren's resurrection at that time. After coming to the underground Ant City, he wrote a letter to Chen Baiqi, and then went to Purgatory. Unexpectedly, Qi Leren had returned to the dusk land at that time, read his letter to Chen Baiqi, and wrote a reply. It was quietly sealed in the transfer station and was not taken away until today.

Aya glanced at the name of the sender written on the envelope and asked in surprise: "Don't you look at it?"

Ning Zhou lowered his head, carefully opened the envelope, and looked while walking.

The cold underground wind passed through the city, and a large group of flame butterflies from the holy fire from the cracks of the ground were flying in the wind. Ning Zhou, who was walking among the crowd, was quietly reading this long-standing letter. The joyful and joyful emotions for the future reunion in the words kept jumping out of the paper, making the words in front of him become more and more blurred.

——I like that straw-woven ring very much, and I want to give it back to you.

The wind is getting farther and farther away, and flies to an unknown place with the flames and butterflies all over the sky.

Aya looked at Ning Zhou who was about to disappear into the crowd. The humans and demons coming and going did not know that on this day, they passed by a sad destruction king.

The whole city is so busy, and this secular picture contains a long-lost peace and tranquility. Those happy people, unhappy people, loved people, and unloved people, all strive to survive. This simple thing alone has exhausted them.

There are too many pedestrians, too many voices, too many stories on this bustling street, no one cares about a stranger who shed tears when she looks at the letter.

Only Aya knows that this is an unfinished story, about waiting, about faith, and about love.
