"I'm almost at the age to get married. The most important thing to do now is to find a marriage partner, so... I ask if you are willing to consider marriage? I wonder if I can be your wife candidate? Can you consider it? To be my husband?"

"No, just give up."

Yong Ye refused without even thinking about it, but the beautiful and gentle princess in front of her, who had a persevering will in her heart, also quickly refused.

"No, you are still here now, so not many people are pursuing you, but if you go out, there will definitely be a group of people who are pursuing you. Now is the best time to pursue you. How can I give up?"

"...Is this a reasonable investment calculation? And...it's bargain hunting now?"

"Yes, that's it, so please don't let me lose money."

Yong Ye was a little dumbfounded, but the girl in front of her had an ambiguous smile, affirming such an alternative statement.

Chapter 9 The Prelude to the Destruction of Humanity

"...What kind of ecstasy soup did the princess give you? Or, what benefits did you receive from her?"

at dusk. Princess of the Holy Empire, the **** the hospital bed just woke up after Ruis left, Yong Ye sat beside her bed and asked in a depressed manner.

"I just feel that the princess is not bad, um... that's all."

"I almost believed what you said."

Lilia's perfunctory words, Yong Ye naturally doesn't believe it, but she doesn't care too much. After all, it's just a child's matter, and there's no need to ask too closely, just ignore it and change it to punitive ones. Mess up the girl's hair lying on the bed.

"Eternal night, eh."

"What's wrong?"

"Aren't you out of the hospital yet? Are you in bad shape?"

When the girl was worried about her gaze, Yong Ye just waved his hand casually.

"Ah... I have a little problem, but it doesn't matter, I'm just staying here with you now."

It is better to say that there is a big problem rather than a slight problem, but it is meaningless to care about it no matter what, so I can only show that I don’t care.

When he first advanced, what he wanted to learn was not the Blade Storm, but the annihilation of a demon capable of destroying the world. Second, choose Blade Storm.

But Blade Storm also has limitations on its use. Even if it is used forcibly, it is difficult to solve the Cui Ning Hou, so he can only choose to force the more expensive, and has not yet learned the Great Destruction, the brutal liberation of bloodline power.

Therefore, his condition is not good now, and to make matters worse, he still has the curse that Cui Ninghou put on himself when his body was destroyed, otherwise he would be seriously injured in normal state, no matter how long it took half a year, he would have already Recovered from the injury, not like a normal person like now, and still has a serious headache.

No, the headache problem has been around for a long time, but now it's more serious.

"Is there really no problem? I heard Sister Ruisi say that you are often forcing yourself."

"Don't listen to her nonsense, it's impossible, am I like the kind of person who can force myself?"

When the girl was worried about her body, Yong Ye just kissed her upturned little nose intimately, deliberately interrupting her uneasiness, causing her to stare at herself dissatisfied.

No need to explain more, it's just a ridiculous lie, this is a big lie, if Yong Ye can't force himself, it will not be Yong Ye.

However, Lilia had nothing to do with him, and it was pointless to worry about this kind of problem, so she could only pretend that she didn't find it.

In this way, the daily life of the two of them, under the circumstance that they both carried some lies, went very smoothly, and the night was also spent slowly in chatting.

If this is a fairy tale world, perhaps after the war that was finally won at a huge price half a year ago, everything should be fine.

The theory should be like this, but unfortunately, as I said earlier, this world is not a fairy tale world, and the efforts and sacrifices of many heroes have not summoned the legendary miracles.

People think that the brave man succeeded in crusade against the evil star god, and the threat to the world is gone, but in fact...

The immortal young star **** Eluke Hawksden, after being granted eternal death by the strongest trump card of mankind, the extreme ancient holy sword Seneoris, was pulled out by people and sealed in the corpse. soul, intending to shatter it.

But for a variety of strange reasons, it may also be due to the lack of technology, and other complicated and intertwined reasons that lead to an inevitable result.

Most of the souls that had to be smashed as fine as sand grains remained in their original shape, and the other smashed parts were at most only smashed to the size of small stones.

Next... There is no key technical support, it is impossible to carry out, even the soul of the small stone can't be made any smaller, people are trying to overcome the difficulties, but to no avail.

Time is running out.

It was originally estimated that if there is no time as a human being, there will only be about one year left, but in fact, it is not more than one year. It is only half a year that the curse seal on the human body has been severely loosened, and it is almost on the verge of collapse. The predicted time is now only left. Less than two months away.

To complete technological innovation that spans several levels in a short period of time, even if there are many peerless geniuses, it is impossible to achieve it, and when the highest levels of mankind are desperate, starting with the imperial capital, inexplicable dreams begin to appear. .

To be precise, people have been dreaming universally since two months ago, and it seems that more and more people have strange dreams in the middle of the night, and it can even be said that they are everywhere.

The most important thing is that everyone dreams about the same content. It is said that all they see is a gray desert dream when they stay around, and those who dream will have an indescribable sense of nostalgia in the dream, even when they wake up. .

If you have to describe it, it's probably like... the feeling of returning to the hometown that you have missed for a long time?

And... even the Pope has dreams, and he is still the first group of people. To be precise, he had dreams more than 30 years ago. At first, it was once every six months to a year, but now it is more and more frequent.

On this day, Yong Ye left the sanatorium for a rare occasion and came to the sanctuary, where he was summoned together with the newly appointed and surviving paladins and cardinals in an emergency meeting to discuss the remedy after the failure to smash the star **** and prolong human life. Schemes, and dream things.

In addition to the dream of fighting and the nightmare brought about by the dead, Eternal Night, who does not dream of other dreams, does not understand this situation at all, so naturally he has a problem and speaks it bluntly.

"Sorry I don't have a dream yet, so can I ask? What exactly is a dream? Only a desert?"

"Well, it's endless. Everywhere you go is an empty gray land, except for yellow sand or yellow sand, but occasionally there will be unknown monsters that slowly pass by, but I don't know why they don't. attack me."

The Pope looked reminiscent, depicting that the rest of the people around him kept nodding, as if they were really all having the same dream, rather than teaming up to make fun of him.

"The wind blowing in the desert leaves a wonderful melody in our ears. It should have been a wonderful light and shadow, but I don't know why the mood is unbelievably peaceful, and there is even a sense of nostalgia deep in our hearts. This is what we are all about. The place of return, this is what we should look like... Such a murmured voice reverberates in the depths of my soul, this inexplicable situation makes me feel inexplicable."

"Isn't that..."

Following the description, Yong Ye thought of a great possibility.

The aged Pope also nodded solemnly and replied with affirmative words.

"This is a harbinger of mutation. The curse seal of the Star God was loosened a long time ago. Now I have dreams almost every night, which means that the final moment is coming. If there is still no way to smash the soul of the Star God, we will Humans will disappear from this world forever."

"...So what's the progress?"

"hardly."

"why?"

"The time is too tight, and the difficulty is too great. In the end, it is not our technology to be able to shatter the soul of the Star God. It is a miracle brought by the extreme ancient holy sword, and it is also the contribution of the eighteenth generation of brave men. Technology."

The current situation is almost desperate, and the cardinals and paladins on the scene are shaken.

At the meeting without progress, the only progress was the appointment of the next generation of popes, and five generations were appointed at one time, because the current pope had no way to guarantee who could not be controlled by the soul of the beast.

The first and second in-line successors are all cardinals, because according to convention, cardinals can become popes, but... Because Yongye did not dream, he was designated as the third successor, and the next two were Cardinal.
