from the past to the future

"travel!?"

"Yeah." Ling Ya nodded, "A lot of things have happened recently, I want to go out for a walk."

"But why this time?" Li Xu felt a little caught off guard by her brother's sudden speech.

"..." Ling Ya was silent, his decision was also sudden, and he couldn't find the reason why he chose this time.And since that kind of thing happened not long ago, Li Xu will inevitably feel worried about his behavior.

Li Xu came to Ling Ya's side, took his hand and looked straight into his eyes, her face was serious and serious, she said slowly: "Ling Ya, do you still remember what happened at that time?"

"At that time?" Ling Ya repeated Li Xu's words, and then realized that she was referring to the time when the Seven Emperors found a place to stay in the human world.

that time--

Decades have passed since the fusion of the Balian Realm and the Starlight Realm. The children who participated in the battle against the Seven Emperors have now become grandparents. They each form a new family and have a new life.

The Seven Emperors naturally survived in the human world without exception.However, the bodies of the Seven Emperors are formed from the energy particles of the Balian world, and losing the energy provided by the Balian world also means that they will completely become human-like creatures.They no longer have a long life, but will be born, old, sick, and die. Now that there are no thousands of masters to hinder them, their souls can be truly promoted and finally reach the starlight realm.

However, Naxiu, who was able to reconstruct his body with the help of the [-] million souls of Balian, is different from others, he himself is the circulatory body of Balian's power, and he doesn't have to worry that his body will follow along with him. Changes with the passage of time.When the first and final meeting of the Seven Emperors began in the new residence, he gave the remaining six a choice that could change the status quo.

That is to provide Balian power by himself, because Naxiu itself can be said to be a miniature Balian world, and others can use the Balian power obtained from him to ensure that they will not be affected by the natural laws of the human world. Influence, just like living in the Balian world, will not grow old, nor will it die easily.

This proposal is like a heavy hammer hitting everyone, everyone has their own thoughts, I am afraid this is the first time since the Seven Emperors Meeting that they have been silent for such a long time, and this silence has been faintly revealed to Naxiu the final answer.

The one who answered first was Vector.

Starting a new life with a new identity does not mean that the past grievances can be written off. Vector still holds a hostile and antagonistic attitude towards Naxiu. When he thought that he had to rely on Naxiu's power to achieve it, his heart was immediately overwhelmed with disgust and disgust, and this was directly expressed on his face.He slapped the table on the spot and shouted: "Rather than relying on the power provided by Naxiu to survive, it is better to die as a human being!"

Compared to Vector who gave the expected answer, the one who answered next made Nash's heart sink.The second person is Arit.

Although Harit didn't have such an extreme answer as Vector, he also chose to refuse.There is no other reason, since there is no longer the object of protection in the Balian world, as a Balian warrior, his mission has been exhausted.The resentment implanted in him by the Thousand Lords also dissipated with the return of true memories. After that, he wanted to live and see the world as a human being. the path he has chosen.

"Sorry, Nash."

After Vector and Arit, the third person who refused was Kiragu.

"Because I am Alit's brother, brothers must advance and retreat together! His will is also my will!" After saying this, he scratched his face in embarrassment, and then added that there are other One reason is for Peng Tai, the civet cat that is firmly bound to him.Its soul has been bound because of him, and it has been in that stone statue for thousands of years, and it has not been completely freed until now.Kiragu said that Bangta stayed in the human world for too long and was too lonely. Maybe when he died, Bangta's soul could also be upgraded together.

"I'm sorry, Nash."

At the end of the meeting, there were three people who refused and three people who accepted.Naxiu wanted to say something more, but seeing their determined eyes, he finally chose to remain silent.

But that's not the end.As far as the result is concerned, although Mizael did not reject Naxiu's proposal, he was the one who remained silent from the beginning to the end.When Ling Ya passed the Balian energy to him, the fusion of the two consciousnesses made him feel a certain determination in his soul, and Naxiu was so strong that he couldn't ask anything.So later, when Mizael said that he would go out for a trip but never came back, Naxiu just stood in the deserted room and recalled the past with the Seven Emperors over and over again, then went out. The room is locked forever.

As for Meragu and Drube, whether they were human beings in their previous lives or in the Balian world, as sisters and friends, they have always been by Naxiu's side, and they have gone through many difficult roads with him. , I have witnessed many joys and sorrows with him, and they are tightly connected like a community of destiny. "If we are gone, what should Naxiu do alone?"

This is their decision.Although Naxiu never complained to them, they could understand his struggle and understand his troubles.What Meragu and Drube wanted to do was to help him share some of the weight on his shoulders, hoping that Naxiu could rely on them a little bit.

Although the problem of growth has been solved, the embarrassing thing for them is that the stagnation of the body will keep them in the shape of the current junior high school students, and this will have a negative impact on both school and future life. Very big inconvenience.After all, if such a body stays in the crowd for a long time, it will inevitably be noticed by some caring people. The more humans grow up, the more they will be afraid of strange existence, just like those students who have been rejecting Ling Ya and Li Xu before. The longer one stays in the human world, the deeper this feeling becomes.Not everyone can accept them without any scruples like Yuma and the others.

"Then, wouldn't it be all right to accept the power as long as you grow up to an adult posture?"

However, this problem didn't bother them for too long. Yuma's unintentional words woke them up and gained a lot of approval.As a result, decades later, Ling Ya is the only one who still maintains this student body shape without any physical growth.With the help of Kaito, Lixu and Delube found suitable jobs in Xinyuan respectively after they became adults. Although their dueling skills have been appreciated by quite a few people, but thinking that if they become professional duelists, if they receive excessive attention On the contrary, it might expose their secrets, but they still refused.

There is another reason, that sometimes when Ling Ya comes to help them deliver documents or forgotten lunch, he is often called a cute younger brother. Ling Ya has been secretly awkward for several days because of this, Li Xu said that such Ling Ya It's so cute, I can't help but want to tease him.The place of work will be changed frequently. Fortunately, the place where I live is the house of the Jindai family that has been vacant for a while. It still belongs to Jindai Lingya and Jindai Rio in name. It is not too close to the nearest private house. There are not many, and there is no need to worry too much about being found out that the owner has looked the same for decades.

Bringing up the old incident again, Ling Ya doesn't quite understand what Li Xu means.

"When Arite and Kiragu rejected Ling Ya's proposal, Ling Ya must have been very sad."

"More or less, after all, we have been together for so long as partners." Ling Ya paused, his eyelids half drooped, and then said, "I also already, regard them as family members."

"I am the same." Li Xu said, "So I can understand that Ling Ya is sad now."

"Li Xu..."

"Why doesn't Ling Ya talk about it all the time? We are obviously brothers and sisters, the closest existence to each other."

"I'm sorry." Ling Ya said apologetically in a low voice, "Everyone's cards are still kept with me. But, they don't belong to me."

"Then Ling Ya, what do you mean?" Li Xu could already vaguely guess.

"That's right. I want to put these cards back into their respective ruins, Alite, Kiragu, and Vector, but I don't know if it's possible to find Mizael's ruins."

"However, how do you plan to get there? At the beginning, we relied on the spaceship in the Emperor's Key to reach various ruins in such a short period of time. It's okay for Kiragu to say that it's nearby, not to mention Vector , Alit's ruins have become quite famous since they emerged from the bottom of the water, Ling Ya, you'd better be careful."

"Don't worry, I can still deal with ordinary humans. Speaking of which, I haven't been on a plane or a passenger ship for a long time, and this time I can relax when I go out." Ling Ya suddenly changed his eyes, There was some hesitation in the blue eyes, "Lixu... no, Meragu, don't you plan to go with me?"

Li Xu was taken aback for a moment, then understood the meaning of Ling Ya's words, and smiled slightly, "...that's right, that's the place where Naxiu and I were born, even though it's only a dozen years of karma, it's also our home, The country we once fought for." However, the memory seems to have reached the limit it can carry, where and what he did and what he saw when he was young, all that remains is a blur Shadows and impressions remained in my mind, and were even replaced by most things in this world, "Naxiu, I am also... a sinner."

"Meragu..."

"However, I want to remember that period of the past in my own way, not to escape or forget, but to atone for my sins with the attitude of being alive. Now I am both Meragu and Goddai Lixu... This is now me."

"Ah, you've always been you."

Li Xu smiled, stood directly opposite Ling Ya, and then clapped her hands on his shoulders vigorously. Seeing Ling Ya's confused expression, she continued, "Also...the air tickets and boat tickets are both It’s a big expense, if you don’t work hard to save money and go on a trip, it will be very sad in the future.”

"..."

"What kind of expression is that, Ling Ya, is there anything wrong with caring about funds? Or are you dissatisfied with me!" Li Xu's voice only increased slightly, and Ling Ya shivered unconsciously, even if there was Dissatisfaction can only be held back in the stomach.Li Xu pursed her lips angrily. In this respect, she still hasn't grown up at all, this little temper that only shows up when she is acting like a baby to her elder brother.

"Speaking of which, did Naxiu tell Drube?"

"Not yet. After all, I can roughly guess what he will say. It's a bit difficult to solve alone..." As he spoke, Ling Ya suppressed his voice with a guilty conscience, "Well, Li Xu, can you do it later? ?”

"There's really nothing you can do about Ling Ya. I'll force Ling Ya to help you!"

"Please, Your Royal Highness."

However, when I talked about this with Droube at dinner time, the other party was unexpectedly calm. Except for being surprised at the beginning, I stuffed the chopsticks that didn't catch anything into my mouth and chewed a few times. The conversation was conducted calmly.Her highness the princess, who is full of confidence, said afterwards that I had not said anything, and had not been an enemy, but I took refuge in our side without authorization, and I couldn't get along happily!

"How long do you plan to go?" Droube put down his chopsticks and looked at Ling Ya with a stern expression.

"It's not certain yet."

"Really... I understand, I will help you prepare tomorrow."

"Droube?"

"It's not convenient for Naxiu to move now. Going abroad must still require very troublesome procedures. Just leave it to me."

"Aren't you going to stop me?"

"Even if I try to stop you, Naxiu won't change my choice, right? I've thought about it carefully. If you want to restrict your actions, Naxiu must be the one who suffers. In addition, regarding this trip, I I agree with you to go alone, but I also have a request, can you listen to me?"

"Ah." Ling Ya nodded and clenched his fists, "I will listen carefully."

"Please... take care of yourself. Please don't suffer pain in silence again."

Don't do it again...Ling Ya looked at the bitter expression displayed by Drube, and not only laughed at himself in his heart, but his behavior at that time had undoubtedly hurt the people around him, his silence, his willfulness He acted recklessly, causing harm to those close to him.

"I promise you."
