Join the Great Wall Guard

Chapter 256 The Choice of the Past

"Why, do you mean that there was a man of destiny before me? But because of my appearance, his trajectory has been changed?"

Lu Yu asked incredulously.

Unexpectedly, his own appearance actually changed the life trajectory of another "Child of Destiny".

"What's the matter, the astrology is complicated, and there will never be a star that just stays in place. Everything will silently spread and run along with the predetermined destiny."

Looking up, there are thousands of stars, as complicated as the sea, and the eyes are endless, only the starlight is eternal, and the reincarnation of the heavens has never changed.

"Some things are established, and some things cannot be changed. Whether it is human beings or flowers and plants, we long for the beauty and happiness that come from dreams, but we also want to escape the entanglement and misfortune of nightmares."

Sighing silently, it was like the sea was changing and the years were passing by. In just a short moment, Lu Yu really felt Zhuang Zhou's old state.

Even in the face of the reincarnation of heaven and the impermanence of the world, as a strong man, he can only sigh alone, lamenting his own powerlessness.

The gods can't compete with the sky, let alone change the order between the cause and effect in the dark and the heaven and the earth.

"Lu Yu, who is going to save everything and unite the world that is on the verge of being broken? In fact, it doesn't matter. What matters is whether that person can do it."

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. This is the principle that has never changed since ancient times. If you succeed, you will reach a height higher than the gods and be admired by the world; if you lose, you will fall into the endless abyss. Become the demon king who is crusaded by the world."

Zhuang Zhou's face was plain but not calm, and he looked at Lu Yu intently with some serious eyes.

"I'll keep fighting."

Looking directly into Zhuang Zhou's gaze, Lu Yu didn't shy away from it at all, and his pupils were filled with a firm light.

Whether it is the steps to heaven or the gates to hell that greets him in the future, he is already prepared.

"Just being ready is useless."

Zhuang Zhou's smile caught Lu Yu off guard, but then, the space around him began to fluctuate irregularly, as if a stone was suddenly thrown into the originally calm water, causing ripples.

I saw the big blue Kun under Zhuang Zhou's seat suddenly trembling its wings and making a lively sound, like a group of butterflies dancing, but a large amount of magic power poured out of it, rushing towards it like a tide. Lu Yu rushed over.

"!!!"

Lu Yu was shocked. Facing the surging power of the magic way, he just wanted to react, but he saw the energy rushing towards his face. The moment he was about to collide head-on, it turned into countless light butterflies. , passing between his cheeks.

Then, there was a dazzling colorful light, which was as dazzling as the rising sun, and Lu Yu couldn't help closing his eyes.

The strong light is like the ray of chaotic divine light that breaks through the primordial world, the light and darkness are intertwined, and there is no trace of life. There is only a deep death between the sky and the earth, in a void and silence Slowly settling.

Immediately afterwards, under the thunderbolt that descended from the sky, it broke through the stubborn rocks on the ground, and also split the dead energy in the sky—everything began to recover.

This feeling of welcoming a new life suddenly is like the dry bones in the desert that are about to dry up, and an oasis that symbolizes life and hope is ushered in front of them.

In the vast world, from the order of the heavens to the small flowers and plants, no matter what kind of things they are, they must have their meaning of existence.

I don't know why these things suddenly appeared in my mind, as if witnessing the birth of the world, there was a scorching breath in my mind, like a computer that was overloaded, and it was about to exceed the capacity of the load.

"This is where?"

Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes. Before that, he only felt rough quicksand passing by on both sides of his cheeks. This feeling made his memory vividly recall the bloodbath of the golden horse and iron horse—— ——Desert.

"I'm going, is it really a desert?!"

Opening his eyes, Lu Yu found that he was in a vast desert, and the wind and sand were blowing everywhere, hot and rough, and when the strong wind blew, everything rubbed against his face, feeling a little painful.

Lu Yu couldn't help pinching his face with his hands, and the slight pain made him finally understand that he was no longer in the observatory, but in the memory of the past, the desert.

The desert is solitary and straight, and the long river falls into the sun.

The yellow flat sand was blown up by the strong wind, and the smoke and dust poured down, dancing wildly under the boundless dusk.

The blood-colored dusk, the scenery beyond the Great Wall, contains three parts of recklessness, three parts of silence, and four parts of chilling spirit.

However, Lu Yu didn't understand why he was here.

Is it in a dream?
He clearly remembered that before he woke up, Zhuang Zhou seemed to release the power of magic.

However, everything in front of me is real, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it would happen in a dream.

It seems that Zhuang Zhou's power is still unfathomable, Lu Yu couldn't help sighing.

At the same time, he also noticed another aspect—what should he do with his current self?
Take a nap and wait to wake up from the dream?
No, no, Zhuang Zhou is definitely not that boring.

Just as Lu Yu was looking forward, he clearly smelled a distinct smell of blood.

Although it didn't make Lu Yu feel nauseous anymore, it still made her frown slightly.

At the same time, his keen perception was also firmly locked on the blood-red eyes in that short moment, and he kept approaching the demon wolf that was approaching him.

"Roar"

With a deep roar, as if sharpening their sharp fangs, hundreds of demon wolves had gradually surrounded Lu Yu.

However, they did not launch an attack directly, but observed carefully.

Because, the vigilance from instinct makes them feel that the human being in front of them is not an ordinary person.

"why."

When the magic wolf appeared in front of his eyes, Lu Yu was completely bewildered.

Isn't this scene exactly what happened when I just traveled to this world?

Awakened the system, but was hunted down by the demon species, and then... was rescued by Hua Mulan, and joined the Great Wall Guard Army.

Could it be that this is to make history repeat itself?
"Roar"

The hoarse roar that symbolized a warning, like the collision of sand and stones, interrupted Lu Yu's thoughts.

Hundreds of demon wolves surrounded Lu Yu, but they still didn't dare to move forward. Some scruples just bared their teeth on the spot, constantly bluffing, showing a threatening look.

"."

If I remember correctly, these demonic wolves have been proven to be ordinary wolves, which were attacked by the power of the demonic way and mutated into demonic species.

In another sense, they are monsters created by humans themselves.

However, these monsters now want to feed on human beings and threaten human beings, which is really ironic.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu did not move his hand to the scabbard, but silently circulated the power of rebirth and the power of civilization in his body. When the two forces converged and intertwined, a strange energy was born. In front of Lu Yu's chest, there was a golden ball of light, which was being continuously injected with power, growing stronger and stronger.

The energy in the light sphere is very pure and powerful, containing the power of purification.

Both the power of rebirth and the power of civilization are closely related to the source of life. This is what Lu Yu and Jia Luo learned from reading the books in the Thousand Cave City together.

The power of purification can even dispel the filth in life and return it to its original source.

This is why Lu Yu is able to have confidence. The coexistence of humans and demons in the desert is precisely because of the power of purification to slowly wash away the lives and souls infected by the power of demons.

The ball of energy light continued to expand, covering a radius of several meters. Hundreds of demon wolves were naturally covered by the purified brilliance. The originally sharp and frightening pupils now But sometimes he was a little frightened and restless.

"Sure enough, there is no one who is more loving than me."

With a faint smile, Lu Yu completely released the power of purification, and the golden light immediately rippled like a wave, like the ripples of blue waves, warming the heart and spleen, full of vigor and vitality of life, and constantly flourishing.

A little bit of light fell from between the golden barriers, like a floating rain of light, dripping on the body of the wolf.

At the beginning, the demon wolf wailed in pain, and on the skin that was dripped by the light spots, there was a scorching sound of "sizzling", accompanied by black mist, which gently drifted out. Then it was completely destroyed by the light.

The purification process was not short, and it also consumed a lot of Lu Yu's energy.

However, fortunately, Lu Yu's hard work also brought back hundreds of bloodthirsty demon wolves, which regained their former appearance. They were no longer terrifying demon species with ferocious faces and bloody aura.

They are just ordinary wolves.

All things have spirits, and so do animals.They knew that they had received grace and got rid of the troubles of the demonic energy. They chirped in unison, as if they were grateful to Lu Yu.

"Huh, it really takes a lot of effort."

Watching the wolves disappear under the setting sun with their tails between their legs, Lu Yu took a deep breath alone. He felt a little tired from using the power of civilization and rebirth just now.

It seems that I haven't reached the point where I can use these powers flexibly and autonomously.

"If Mulan from the past sees this, I'm afraid I will be regarded as a freak by her."

Lu Yu couldn't help smiling, and at the same time turned his head to look behind him, but there was only rolling yellow sand, sometimes there was wind blowing on the flat ground, and endless wind and sand rolled up, the vastness and loneliness, and no one could be seen.

Lu Yu knew that since he didn't fight the demon wolf, he wouldn't cause any disturbance, and Hua Mulan wouldn't notice him.

Traveling to the past, as long as something goes wrong, everything that follows will change.

"However, if it's just a dream, it doesn't matter what you want to do."

Lu Yu didn't regret letting those demon wolves go. He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did.

"Do you just believe that what you just did will not trigger a series of butterfly effects?"

The light and leisurely voice suddenly rang in his ears, Lu Yu was not surprised, his face was as calm as before, and he said lightly: "I knew it, it was a dream set by you, senior."

"Dream. If you think it's fake, then it's fake; if you think it's real, then it's real."

"How many people will be immersed in the dream of the past and cannot extricate themselves, thinking that as long as they change a node in the past, they will get the result they want. However, they forget that if they want to get something they never had, then they must Let go of what you already have."

Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly, looking at Lu Yu with obvious approval.

"Dreams are true and false, false and true. However, there are very few people who can truly be free of worries."

Zhuang Zhou was a little surprised at first, because he had peeked into Lu Yu's dreams before, and he also knew what the most difficult memories in his heart were.

So, he sent Lu Yu to the place where it all started.Zhuang Zhou wanted to see if he could get out of the past and whether he had the courage to abandon the past in order to create a future.

Now it seems that Lu Yu does have such courage.

"The past is important to me, and so is the future."

Only then did Lu Yu realize that Zhuang Zhou was just trying to test himself.

Fortunately, I didn't think too much about it at the beginning, in other words, I hit the right spot.

Because it was a dream, he made a completely different choice from the past.If Lu Yu was facing a living past, he might not have made such a quick decision.

He doesn't want to be the only one who has the memory of the whole world, but the whole world forgets him.

"Besides, I'm also curious about your power just now. What is it? Did you get it from the remains of the gods?"

The originally sleepy eyes showed a gleam of light, and it was the first time that Zhuang Zhou saw that kind of strange and pure power, which was not possessed by the mortal world at all.

The only possibility is probably that Lu Yu obtained it in a miracle.

"Well. It's the power of rebirth obtained by Yucheng, and the power of civilization from Thousand Cave City."

Regarding this point, Lu Yu did not hide it, he knew that Zhuang Zhou would not say it casually.

"Sure enough, you must have gained great power in the Tongtian Tower a few days ago. Oh, it's really enviable."

Zhuang Zhou showed a wry smile, shook his head and said, "It took us old men a hundred years to acquire the power stronger than all sentient beings."

And Lu Yu, at this young age, is no less powerful than these old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years.

I have to say, it was kind of hurtful.

However, this is also the proof of "Son of Destiny".
