Elena returned to the Pyramid of Demons, and walked to the Temple of Insai on the strange stairs.

This ladder feels reversed, because the pyramid is upside down, and she is walking on the reverse side of the ladder inside the pyramid.

Elena was thinking about many issues, and Ray's story made her feel a little uncomfortable.

It was like something was stuck in my chest.

"Why is Ray unable to leave the city?"

"Before he rushed into the storm, the light of consciousness was destroyed by a strange force, and I didn't even have time to react."

"It shouldn't be."

Elena walked to the gate of the temple.

Outside, she had already started to take off the coarse cloth cloak she wore outside her clothes, and hung it on her arms.

Elena's eyes swept over a pillar in front of the palace gate, and she frowned slightly.

A pillar at the entrance of the temple was carved in the shape of Elena, wearing armor and holding Ruhe's sword.

It was transformed into this on the day Elena arrived.

It wasn't requested by Elena, but carved by other demon spirits, symbolizing Elena's duties in this temple, as well as her identity.

This seems to be some kind of tradition among daemons...

However, Elena doesn't really like this kind of things that are too superficial. She likes more real things, even beliefs. What she likes is to do it with words and deeds, not just words.

"Um?"

Elena noticed it as soon as she came in.

In the temple, there is a figure praying, facing the statue of God Insai.

The several halls on the outer layer of the temple allow all demon spirits to come to pray, although there is a time limit, and some newly revived demon spirits will also enter the temple to watch the text slate to practice.

The voice of the other party's prayer was not loud, but because the temple was too quiet, it was still heard clearly in Elena's ears.

"Because of loneliness, God created Laidlich, the king of wisdom, and because of Laidlich's loneliness, God created the three-leaf man."

"Thus the race begins, and the kingdom is established from this moment."

"god."

"I am the **** who created you, and you are their king."

He clasped his hands together and bowed his body humbly.

There are many pockets on the clothes he is wearing, and there is a box with a lot of things on the ground beside it; there is a rope on the box, which should be able to hang on the body.

It seems to be a street vendor, usually with pockets full of various goods, and a box hanging on his chest to show his goods to others.

Elena didn't disturb the other party's prayer, but just hung the cloak aside.

She was a little confused, and when she was thinking about things, she arranged her cloak smoothly.

By the time she came to her senses, the praying believers had already got up.

The other party did not leave, but walked in front of Elena.

"Respected Lady Elena!"

"I have a doubt."

"You are the apostle of the gods, and you may be able to guide me who is confused."

Elena is guarding the temple, but she doesn't take on the responsibility of solving doubts for others.

And she didn't feel that she could solve any doubts and puzzles for others.

but.

Since the person in front of her asked her, she was still going to listen.

The monster dressed as a merchant has a box hanging on his chest, and it looks a little funny with the brightly colored clothes full of pockets.

He introduced his dream to Elena, the dream that always haunted him.

"I dream a lot, and every time I dream of a strange person."

"I feel like he is me, he lives on an island, the island is full of ritual workshops, and he has a shop on the island."

"When I usually dream about him, it's basically trivial things."

"But recently."

"I always dreamed that he was in this inverted pyramid, dreamed that he was wandering under this temple, so I came here to find the reason for my dream."

The merchant is very strange, he also knows something about the origin of the demon.

According to legend, a long time ago, demons were transformed from another race.

After all, there are traces of that race everywhere in this city, the legends and myths left by that race.

besides.

Beliefs left over from that race.

"What surprised me the most was that."

"if!"

"That was a long, long time ago, the memory of another person, so why did the scene of him wandering under this pyramid appear in the picture I dreamed?"

"And the pyramid in my dream is almost the same as the current one, but I can be sure that it is the current pyramid, because there are more stone statues of you at the entrance of the temple recently."

Elena suddenly remembered the dream she had before, and she said to the other party: "Maybe, that is a dream."

"An ordinary dream."

"Because you have been to the temple recently and saw my stone statue, that's why you had this dream."

But Elena asked again: "Is there anything special about that dream?"

The demon dressed as a merchant immediately said: "In my dream, this place is really strange."

"This pyramid is right."

"The temple is not at the bottom, but at the very top."

Elena heard that he was right, and said to him.

"It looks."

"It's just a dream."

The merchant demon scratched his head: "That's it! Maybe I'm thinking too much!"

Elena was about to turn around and leave, but she stopped suddenly.

She seemed to think of something.

She asked the merchant demon, "How did you get there in your dream?"

The merchant demon thought for a while: "I just saw the pyramid, then I saw the stairs, and I saw another me wandering on the stairs."

"He looks a little blurry, as if floating on the stairs."

"correct."

"I saw a light on the top of the pyramid, and it seemed that many shadows were hovering around that light."

Elena: "Come with me."

Elena led the merchant demon spirit towards the depths of the temple, and came to a square hall.

There is nothing in the hall. The dome above is flat and smooth, but the bottom is sunken.

central.

Something like a shaft.

There.

It is the real bottom of the inverted pyramid, or it can be the spire.

Elena had seen this place several times before, but she hadn't paid attention to it before; the problem with Ray now told her that there was something wrong with this inverted pyramid.

The dream of the monster in front of her gave her some clues and ideas.

Elena came here, looked down and jumped down immediately.

The merchant demon hesitated for a moment, but in order to understand his doubts, he jumped down along with him.

"ah!"

There was a flash of light, and they seemed to pass through a vague boundary.

The merchant demon was in a daze, and found himself falling on the ground.

He looked around and found himself falling into another hall.

But after taking a closer look at the surrounding scene, it feels so familiar.

"This is…"

"In the hall we just had."

Because he raised his head and looked up, he saw the shaft just now.

It's just that at the moment it has become a skylight.

The merchant demon turned its head, looking for the trace of Lady Elena.

Just in time to see the corner of the other party's clothes disappear behind the side door.

Elena was already walking outside, and the merchant demon followed closely behind her.

Elena has tall legs and long legs, and she walks swiftly and swiftly. The vendor can only keep up with her pace by trotting, especially since he still has a box hanging on his chest.

"Lord Elena!"

"Wait for me!"

The merchant monster passed through several palaces and corridors, and finally returned to the main hall.

He followed Elena and walked out of the temple from inside.

It suddenly opened up.

Pyramid, became positive.

This is a strange realm, the pyramid is wrapped in darkness, and in the distance is darkness like a dream world.

Elena never imagined that there is such a magical realm hidden inside the inverted pyramid.

"Under the pyramid, there is such a place?"

"It's weird here."

"It looks like a place formed by the gathering of extraordinary power. How did this place come into being?"

There are many statues on the square platform of the temple, and Elena feels that the breath of these statues is very familiar.

Although these statues all look like the people of the Demon Abyss, their current identities should be priests, nobles and guards of the Demon Kingdom.

They must have been people she had seen before.

Elena walked down, and the merchant demon also followed on the stairs.

Every time Elena walked through this staircase before, she felt very awkward.

Because it is inverse.

But this time it felt much more comfortable.

As she walked, she looked at the stone walls on both sides.

There are many reliefs on the stone walls on both sides, engraved with the images of many people. It is roughly estimated that there are 8,000 reliefs of the people of the devil from the top to the bottom of the stairs.

The merchant demon looked at these reliefs, and the memory of the dream surfaced again.

The demon puppet stretched out its hand, pointing to the reliefs here, pointing to everything he had ever seen.

"right here."

"The place I saw in my dream before is this place."

"Exactly the same as here."

The merchant demon talked excitedly with Elena, and his pace became much faster.

He unconsciously passed in front of Elena, and stopped on the steps about one third of the way to the bottom.

"right here."

"I see another me, right here..."

Just as the words fell, a voice came from behind him.

"You came?"

"You came to let me out?"

The merchant's voice stopped abruptly, and the metal puppet turned its head stiffly.

I saw a transparent shadow emerging from a relief on the wall, speaking to him.

That is.

a ghost.

The transparent and illusory ghost of the Merchant Demon was astonished, as if seeing another self.

When I saw him in my dream, I was only puzzled; when I saw him face to face, I felt extremely terrified.

The merchant demon felt unspeakable emotions welling up in his heart.

He finally solved the doubt in his heart, but another doubt surfaced again.

The merchant demon was a little dazed, "Who are you?"

Ghost didn't show any expression: "I am you."

The ghost was obviously talking to the merchant demon, but his body seemed to be walking towards the high place uncontrollably, towards the temple.

"If you were me? Then who am I?"

The ghost stopped talking to him and just floated up.

But he still said it.

"You came?"

"You came to let me out?"

The merchant demon stood stiffly under the steps, feeling his hair stand on end.

In this world, there is nothing more terrifying than seeing another self.

It's like denying the existence of the self.

If the other party is real, then what is oneself?

If the other party is fake, why did he appear?

Then.

Doubt the whole world.

Elena looked at the transparent shadow, and ancient memories flooded her mind.

She unconsciously spat out two words.

"ghost?"

In her mind, memories about ghosts appeared.

The holy mountain appeared in her mind, and the figure of the high priest under the seat of the evil **** appeared.

"This is a product of the power of the evil god, how could it appear here?"—

Under the Demon Pyramid.

The Merchant Demon Spirit couldn't accept this kind of thing at all, he shook his head and said.

"I'm the real one!"

"I'm right here, you can't be me."

"What the **** are you..."

He finally raised his head and chased after him.

He wanted to confirm something more.

The merchant spirit wanted to stop the ghost and ask him some more questions.

Even if the other party looks confused, it doesn't look like he can answer the question at all.

but.

The moment his hand touched the opponent, it was as if he had touched the coldest thing in the world.

Gu Yan

The icy coldness extended from the fingertips, directly deep into the depths of his consciousness.

"ah!"

Countless pictures appeared in front of the merchant demon, not the island, nor the daily life of guarding the shop.

Instead, day after day, year after year, he wanders in this darkness.

The merchant demon was shaking non-stop.

He didn't dare to touch the ghost in front of him anymore.

It seemed that what was in front of him was not a fragile spirit body, but a bottomless abyss that swallowed him.

The other party has turned into a ghost and wandered in this dark place for 250 million years, from the last era to this era.

And the last time he recovered was decades ago.

The story of the ghost's birth is tragic.

The first batch of ghosts were born under the holy mountain, the Sanye people of the city of servants of the gods.

They are the remnants of the power of spirituality and wisdom that have been exhausted during life.

They are the embodiment of a person's memories and some of their deepest emotions.

The ghost felt the touch of the merchant ghost and stopped.

He didn't say anything, just looked back at the merchant demon.

He seemed to remember something again.

There was a hint of emotion in Youhun's eyes, and he asked suddenly.

"What time is it?"

The merchant demon was still trembling, but Elena answered the question on his behalf.

"Second Era."

The ghost asked again: "Has the **** returned?"

Elena told him: "The gods have returned, this era is richer than the previous era, and in this era mortals have more."

However, she had nothing to say.

"However, this era does not belong to us."

Ghost turned around, then walked up to the high place, chattering endlessly: "That's great, we succeeded, we succeeded."

Elena and the merchant demon watched the ghost go all the way to the temple, thinking about the place where the pyramid radiated light and floated away.

Soon, he came back again.

"can not go out."

"can not go out."

"Yeah, I couldn't go out."

"It has been arranged from the beginning that we will always belong here, as seeds from which consciousness was born."

The ghost walked all the way down, and passed by the merchant demon spirit standing sluggishly on the steps.

He suddenly asked, "Is this eternal life?"

"Is it possible to live forever like this?"

"Is this still alive?"

But soon, he immediately denied himself.

"No."

"It's not for immortality, it's for the future."

Suddenly, Ghost said emotionally: "For the continuation of the race, we must do this."

But as soon as the words fell, Youhun's expression became distorted again.

"No, I don't want to be like this."

"It's better to perish!"

"Why did I choose this way? What was I thinking?"

In the midst of this twisted and crazy conflict, Ghost gradually calmed down.

Without any expression, any emotion.

It returned to the relief and no longer appeared.

Elena was lost in thought.

Think about everything you saw here, and also think about what Ghost said just now.

But the demon puppet standing under the steps suddenly raised his head, his body seemed to be still shaking, but he still couldn't help making his request to Elena.

He looked at Elena, and asked her with pleading words.

"Lord Elena!"

"I can…"

"Can I let him go?"

Elena's head is also in a mess at the moment, she hasn't fully figured out what is the secret and truth of this pyramid.

"That's yourself."

"It's all up to you."

Elena also said to him: "But I don't understand, what will happen after you let him go?"

Elena asked the merchant demon, did he see something just now?

From within the spirit body of that ghost.

The merchant demon stretched out his fingers and touched himself on the relief.

"I just felt he was in pain and he was lonely."

"I want to let him go."

"I want to do this."

"At least, don't let him wander forever in this darkness."

over.

He acted.

The merchant demon stretched out his hand, and the palm of his hand exuded a light of extraordinary power.

Even the most ordinary demon spirit is also a powerful person.

He erased his own relief on the wall, and the aura on the relief faded a little bit.

While the relief was worn away, the ghost was also squeezed out from inside.

can be seen.

The ghost's body disintegrated little by little, and disappeared little by little.

When the ghost appeared, he repeated that sentence again.

"You came?"

"You came to let me out?"

this time.

The merchant demon yelled at him, nodding constantly.

"That's right."

"I've come to let you out, and you're free."

He seemed happier than Ghost, as if it wasn't the ghost who was let go, but himself.

Ghost's eyes were confused at first, but then.

There was light in his dull eyes, and the eyes of the merchant demon met.

"I am free?"

After the voice fell, the ghost body completely dispersed.

A bubble emerges from the ghost, and colorful light is reflected from it.

White and black alternate, and the colors continue to cycle.

The merchant monster doesn't know what it is yet: "Colorful bubbles?"

From the colored bubbles, he saw the rotation of ancient pictures.

Among them, there is the scene he once saw in his dream.

Elena stepped forward: "It's the dream of life!"

Hearing what she said, the merchant demon also remembered the legend he had heard: "After death, life will return to the kingdom of the creator."

"The ferryman will come to pick up the believers of God and go to that dreamy star sea."

"I have heard."

"I've heard the story."

Under the watchful eyes of two people, the dream of life rose to the top of this realm.

An invisible door opened in the sky, and the ripples of the dream world devoured the dreams of life.

After that, nothing can be seen.

But the merchant demon can imagine the scene behind.

soon.

There will be a giant ship emitting golden light coming from the depths of the dream world, carrying the dream on board and heading to the divine kingdom of the Creator.

The merchant demon stood there, holding his head high.

"so good!"

"He is free, he no longer has to feel the eternal darkness and loneliness."

"He can go to the fantasy star sea."

The merchant demon turned around and looked at Elena with some ease.

But keep it.

His metal body began to be covered with rust, and the rust directly penetrated into the inside of the body, disintegrating him into a ball of rust powder.

In his relaxed words, his whole body collapsed.

Turned into a pool of broken parts.

"Bang bang bang!"

The box he was hanging on his chest was overturned, and all kinds of weird little things in it were scattered all over the steps—

Elena has been guarding the steps.

After the genie dies, the genie's pyramid emits light, rekindling their consciousness.

At that time they will enter the next cycle and start all over again.

Although the past has been forgotten, maybe it can be barely called a recovery, right?

But this time.

Elena waited for a long time, but he didn't come back alive.

It seemed that with the liberation of the ghost, he also died completely.

until fully confirmed.

Elena turned her head, and said to the puppet that turned into a mass of rusty wreckage.

"Perhaps, I shouldn't agree to your request."

"However, you don't seem to regret it even in the end."

"What did you feel from the body of that ghost? Is it really so painful?"

Waiting for neutral.

Elena also counted all the reliefs here, as well as the statues on them.

"Eight thousand two hundred and sixteen!"

Elena remembered what the Demon King said to herself before: "There are eight thousand two hundred and sixteen people in this country."

Elena walked up the steps, and she went straight to one of the pillars.

On the pillar, a heroic female knight is carved.

Unlike the people of the Demon Abyss present, she has a form that resembles a god.

Elena stopped in her tracks and said in a complicated tone.

"Number."

"Eight thousand two hundred and seventeen."

The female knight on the pillar suddenly moved, she turned her head, and spoke to Elena proudly.

"Come on!"

"stop!"

"Can't you approach the temple of God without permission?"

This ghost is the most powerful ghost here.

She was born not long ago, and should have appeared only recently.

And at that time, it should be the time when Elena returned to this city.

Under the priest's robe, Elena clenched her hands unconsciously.

She finally figured it out, she knew the function of this Demon Pyramid, and she roughly understood the meaning of the name Demon Spirit.

"turn out to be!"

"This is the demon spirit."

Possess the extraordinary body of monsters and the immortal spirit of ghosts.

The two make up the so-called daemons.

The body is made of extraordinary materials, just like props, it will not be easily destroyed and corroded.

It's just that the consciousness in the body is destined to fade away in time.

But as long as the ghost is immortal and the consciousness of the body dies, the ghost pyramid and the ghost inside can be used as seeds to revive again and give birth to a new consciousness.

They are a combination of monsters and ghosts, but not quite monsters.

so.

Only then can they live in the former city of the people of the Demon Abyss without being bound by the oath of monsters.

Elena stood in front of the pillar, staring at her own ghost, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Use metal to cast the body of an extraordinary monster, then use ghosts as candles to ignite consciousness over and over again, and use this pyramid as a candlestick to keep this kingdom of demons running forever."

"In this way, the people of the Demon Abyss can continue to exist across time? In this way, the inheritance of the people of the Demon Abyss can be maintained?"

"Is this what I chose?"

"Is there a way to save the people of the Demon Abyss?"

Elena looked at the entire Pyramid of Demon Spirits~lightnovelpub.net~ The sound was transmitted in this empty realm.

"Is this the giant ship I created that spans the long river of time?"

Her voice was cold and puzzled.

"This is?"

"The future I choose?"

The female knight stood for a long time, and suddenly she drew the sword at her waist.

She pointed to herself on the pillar with an extremely angry expression.

like.

I can't wait to cut myself on the pillar with a sword.

"What future is this?"

"Elena? Were you crazy?"
