Awakening of Rebirth

After the silence, Qianye Liusha kneaded the letter paper in his hand into a ball, and under Jiang Zheng's surprised eyes, he burned it to ashes together with the two little clay figurines.

Jiang Zheng panicked for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Why burn it?"

"She won't see it."

Phoenix won't see it.Under the tree of life, what awaits the phoenix is ​​not a new reincarnation, but an ambush set by the elves for them.

"Why don't you see her again?" Jiang Zheng asked.

"It doesn't make sense." Qianye Liusha was silent for a moment, and said: "I am no longer who I was back then. No matter how I pretend, I can't hide it from her eyes. Why bother?"

"But between you and her it's clear..."

"So what? Two thousand years, isn't it enough for me to forget someone?" Qianye Liusha looked at Jiang Zheng and said, "Don't change the world easily, isn't it what you told me?"

Jiang Zheng was speechless for a while, staring at the unextinguished flames on the ground, he couldn't help muttering to himself: "I should really be thankful, your reason is better than everything..."

She couldn't help thinking wildly, there are always people who want everything to start over after doing something wrong, but in fact, many times, even if everything starts over, there are always obstacles, making people powerless to change anything.

The pain Qianye Liusha endured was no less painful than anyone else, but she knew that this was a farewell, and all she could do was cry in advance.

"Back then, in order to extravagantly ask for her forgiveness, I pierced my heart with a dagger."

Jiang Zheng: "..."

"She won't let me die, she said, she hates me, I can't make up for my betrayal to her in a lifetime. So, with her last breath, she forced the blood of her heart into my body, telling me to live to redeem my sins, she wants Pain, loneliness, and self-blame filled the rest of my life, and the rest of my life was given to me by her, the eternal life of immortality."

Qianye Liusha said, and couldn't help laughing at herself: "Actually, I can die, as long as I take out that drop of blood, I can leave this world at any time, but this is her punishment for me, how can I escape easily?"

"..."

"Perhaps, what hurt her the most was not the arrows and spells aimed at their brothers and sisters, but my determination to sacrifice her." Qianye Liusha said, closing her eyes: "Even if I have no choice, it's not worth it at all." forgive."

"Then what are you going to do?" Jiang Zheng said in a heavy tone.

"Take out the heart blood instead of letting it blend into my body." She said, opening her eyes with a faint smile, and said, "If it's possible, I hope she won't die with hatred."

This is also considered, after more than 2000 years of atonement, when she meets a choice again, what she can do is the greatest compensation for Phoenix.

That night, Qianye Liusha didn't close her eyes, she sat quietly on the edge of the bed, staring at the dagger in her hand, staring blankly for a long, long time.

She tried her best to recall the past that was deprived by the years, whether it was happiness or pain, this was the first time after forgetting everything, and she suddenly wanted to find them back.

More than 2000 years have passed, and she can't even remember Phoenix's face. Is the love in her heart still there?

She questioned herself, but couldn't get an answer.

Without an answer, she told herself that she didn't love her anymore.

Nothing is eternal, everything that I once cared about has long since ceased to exist, leaving only the void in my heart that can no longer be filled.

On the second day, on the Infinity Cliff, the phoenix hovered over the tree of life, waiting for the person who saw them off in the past 500 years.

Every 500 years, the elves will always hold a huge farewell fire ceremony for the Phoenix. This is the agreement between the ancestors of the elves and the Phoenix, which has not changed for thousands of years.

Only this time, the fate of waiting for the phoenix has changed.

Standing beside Qianye Liusha, Jiang Zheng stared blankly at the pair of brothers and sisters who were about to be sacrificed in the air. They were really beautiful, and reminded her of a legend called Phoenix in the world she knew well.

Suddenly, she was very resistant to standing here, just like she dared not look at Qianye Liusha's expression at this moment.

She was afraid of seeing even a trace of uncontrollable pain in Qianye Liusha's eyes, and even more afraid of seeing that almost indifferent determination.

Qianye Liusha said, even in 2000, can we do worse than before?

Yes, so much time has been wasted in 2000. After things have changed, how can the past be so precious?This time Qianye Quicksand will only do better and more decisively than last time.In this way, everything she has worked hard for for 2000 years, and all the pain and suffering she has endured through gritting her teeth.

Seeing that the elf priest had erected a barrier, Jiang Zheng recited the farewell prayer.

Under the tree of life, the patriarchs, elders, and spiritual girls of the three major families all looked dignified. They sang softly the songs that belonged to this sacrifice, but they had already prepared the sharpest arrows and the most powerful spells.

The phoenix is ​​about to start its suicide, and at that time, this pair of powerful siblings will be at their weakest.

Qianye Liusha raised her eyes to look at Phoenix, but chose to lower her head to escape when she looked back. From the beginning to the end, she didn't meet her eyes.

After the prayer was over, the old priest dug his fingers into the soil, and suddenly vines broke through the ground, stretched towards the phoenix, and finally entwined them tightly.

The sudden flames went up the vines, quickly engulfing the phoenix.

Jiang Zheng clenched his fists subconsciously, only to hear the old priest sigh heavily, the elf archers put their arrows on their bows one after another, and the mage began to sing in a low voice.

Anka sensed something was wrong at this moment, broke free from the vines, pushed Phoenix away with all his strength, spread his huge wings, and stopped all attacks.

The pain from the fire all over his body, coupled with the serious injury at that moment, caused him to fall downwards.

Under the tree of life, several vines suddenly grew, piercing his body burned by the flames.

The flames were extinguished by sorcery, and the vines greedily sucked his blood before feeding it into the roots of the Tree of Life.

The wailing of the phoenix was like a knife, piercing into the hearts of every elf, as if to reprimand them for their betrayal and selfishness.

Phoenix went crazy and started attacking the elves around him.

She possessed incomparably powerful strength, so she missed the first chance to sneak attack, and the spells and arrows of the elves could no longer hurt her in the slightest.

She leaned over and rushed to her brother, but saw a familiar figure standing between her and Anka, staring at her with extremely indifferent eyes.

A flash of astonishment flashed in Phoenix's eyes, Qianye Liusha did not hesitate for a moment, and stabbed the dagger in her heart hard.

"I'm sorry, only you have what I need." She said, with a little force on her wrist, the dagger in her hand cut Phoenix's heart open.

Countless blood was evaporated by the fire the moment it gushed out of the phoenix's body, and only one drop condensed into a blood stone and fell into Qianye Liusha's hands.

The flames on the phoenix's body gradually extinguished, and the golden wings withered away like grass and trees.

"Who are you..." At that moment, Phoenix's voice was hoarse and exhausted, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Qianye Liusha." Qianye Liusha raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and looked at the blood stone in his hand with appreciation.

"You're not... I know her..."

"Oh?" Qianye Liusha pulled out the dagger and said with a smile, "You have discovered this, but you are still very stupid, just because I have the same face as her, you missed the shot to kill me and save your brother Best chance."

The words were obviously cold-blooded and heartless, but made Phoenix laugh almost insanely.

very nice.

At least, even if she had to be sacrificed, the person who killed her in the end was not Quicksand...

Qianye Liusha turned and left without looking back under the surprised eyes of countless elves. Jiang Zheng quickly chased after her, with thousands of words, but they were stuck in their hearts and didn't know what to say.

When there was no one around anymore, Qianye Liusha suddenly knelt down with her knees hugged. From silence, to depression, finally, she burst into tears.

2000 years ago, I was the one who killed you.

After 2000, the one who kills you is still me.

Even if you no longer recognize my current appearance, I cannot escape this sin.

Because in this choice, I am a stubborn stone, hurt you deeply, and have never been innocent.

***

Jiang Zheng didn't dare to imagine what kind of pain Qianye Liusha was enduring, maybe she would not be able to understand a ten-millionth part of it in her whole life.

After all, in the original world, she was just a person who would suddenly be wronged and cry bitterly because of a trivial matter.

If she could, she wished she hadn't witnessed all of this with her own eyes, so that the stories of righteousness in the world, life and death choices, and sacrifice of loved ones would always be just stories that others said lightly.

On the way back, the surrounding scenery changed.

The original choice has changed, and the memory of the past 2000 years has undergone considerable changes on the way back.

These changes flooded into her mind in a very short time, and started a crazy dispute with her past memories, making every step she took now extremely difficult.

Even so, her steps were as firm as when she came here, no matter what she saw, she never stopped for a moment.

She was always smiling, but there were two lines of tears on her cheeks.

In this life, even the last hatred left to her by Phoenix no longer exists. Apart from responsibility, she has absolutely nothing left, and finally she will never lose it again.

She couldn't tell if it was good or bad, or maybe it was another punishment Phoenix left her.

In any case, she can only move forward.

It wasn't until she finally returned to the original world that she felt relieved, closed her tired eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Zheng saw that Changsheng and Baozi's eyes were full of worry, and forced a smile, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine."

She told herself—after all, you are just a spectator.

Chang Sheng was silent for a long time, then stepped forward and said, "You said you're fine, but I saw that's not the case."

Jiang Zheng was a little surprised by Chang Sheng's reaction. Chang Sheng was never a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, but at this moment, the almost fiery gaze in Chang Sheng's eyes made her unable to escape.

"What’s wrong with you……"

Chang Sheng bit his lower lip tightly and remained silent for a long time, with tears in his eyes: "During your absence, I'm afraid you will never come back."
