Awakening of Rebirth

The Vodo elves have lived under the protection of the undead legend for thousands of years. They set the border between Eggert and Ainota as a line, blocked the entire Vodo Mountains with a huge fog circle, and protected the whole family in the world. In the mountains and forests, isolated from the world, it is extremely mysterious.

But such a mysterious and noble race in the eyes of human beings was expelled from the homeland where they lived for generations by a fire in the spring of 779 in the imperial calendar.Countless elves flocked to Teba City on the northern border of Ainota with panic, trying to be taken in by humans, but were ruthlessly blocked by the strict city defense.

They begged helplessly and cried desperately, but they couldn't get any sympathy from the alien race. The closed city gates, the fortified towers, and the indifferent eyes of the human girl on the city wall were almost ice-cold. Completely blocked their last way of life.

Some elves died under the tower, and some elves turned and rushed to the raging fire of their hometown.

For a long time, the residents of Teba City could see the Wodo Mountains shrouded in black smoke in the distance when they looked up. No one knew what happened to Wodo, let alone a nightmare that had descended on the whole of Egypt. Seoul and the mainland.

***

The head...was very painful and heavy, and it seemed that he had been in a coma for a long, long time.

With half-opened eyes, she could discern from the haze that she was in a carriage. The carriage was bumping violently, which made her already weak body feel faintly uncomfortable.

Jiang Zheng closed her eyes and thought about it. She remembered that she should be in Wodo. What is the situation now?

She frowned and opened the curtain of the car, only to see Chang Sheng, who was driving outside, looked at her distractedly, and couldn't help avoiding his eyes and said: "You're awake."

Jiang Zheng didn't respond, just raised his eyes and looked around, his heart gradually cooled down.

"It's not Wodo."

The hillsides, grasslands, human villages and fields faintly visible in the distance, all tell her that this is not Wodo.

She should be in Wodo, she should help Qianye Liusha open the tunnel of time and space, tear open the cracks in space, and make the black dragon forever lost in thousands of time and space that are similar but different, touchable but never reachable middle.This is obviously what she should do, and only she can do it, but why now... She has become a person who ran away.

"How is Wodo?" When Jiang Zheng asked this sentence, the corners of Jiang Zheng's eyes were extremely sour.

Chang Sheng was silent for a long time before he said: "This road, do you want to take a break and eat something?"

With Wodo gone, Jiang Zheng had to tell and force herself to believe the truth she didn't want to accept.

Changsheng didn't need to respond, just the subconsciously dodging eyes had already betrayed everything. At this moment, Jiang Zheng looked at Changsheng's side face, her clenched fists made her nails embedded in the flesh, and the pain woke her up. She woke up and told her coldly: "This is not a dream."It wasn't a dream, it was a chill that involuntarily spread to her limbs, it was a guilt that tore her conscience fiercely.

At that moment, Chang Sheng saw Jiang Zheng's eyes filled with disbelief.

"Why?" Jiang Zheng asked her.

"Why? Why? Why..." It was one question after another.

How much she wanted to hear Chang Sheng's explanation, thinking that all this was just a misunderstanding, the elves had found a better way to destroy the black dragon, or the demons had already made preparations to rescue the black dragon, but when the incident happened suddenly, Chang Sheng had to Protect her from leaving.

But Changsheng was silent for a long time, then lowered his eyes and said, "Azheng, do you know that after you fell asleep that night, I accidentally overheard... I overheard that Qianye Liusha was already ready to sacrifice you, you Your body can't bear the backlash of that supernatural power, let alone the two-way impact of the power of the elves and the black dragon's devilish energy...you will die."

Jiang Zheng was speechless for a moment.

She almost forgot that she once thought that people are selfish, and most of the time, all the trade-offs and sacrifices are just to satisfy their own selfishness.

"Azheng, didn't you say that people are selfish." Changsheng's eyes were already red when she stopped the carriage. She finally raised her eyes, and her tearful eyes stared deeply at Jiang Zheng. She asked: " What do the Wodo creatures have to do with me? Are the people in the world involved with me? I don’t know them, I just want to keep you, what’s wrong with me?”

Facing Chang Sheng's rhetorical question, Jiang Zheng wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything.

She should be selfish, she has always been selfish, she doesn't want to die, she doesn't want to leave Changsheng alone in this world.She told herself that she should be extremely grateful that Chang Sheng made such a choice, but for some reason, when Chang Sheng said these words, she felt her heart ached as if she was about to be torn apart.

"So... so, you took me away without saying a word?" Jiang Zheng couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was a bit bleak: "I don't even have the minimum right to know, I shouldn't think, I can't choose, I don't deserve to sacrifice ..."

Chang Sheng gritted his teeth, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, and after several times he hesitated to speak, he suppressed the obvious anger in his eyes, and asked in an almost stubborn tone: "Are you blaming me?"

Such stubbornness made Jiang Zheng wake up suddenly, and subconsciously clenched the blood-stained fingertips at the corner of her skirt as if she was grasping something, which was so heavy that she wanted to completely crush her.

"I don't blame you." Jiang Zheng said, unable to stop the falling tears, curled up his legs, trying to hold back the sadness, but still couldn't stop sobbing.

Changsheng hesitated for a moment, and tried to approach Jiang Zheng. Seeing that she had no intention of cooperating, and even resisted, he simply pulled her into his arms, and stretched out his hand to break off the tightly clenched cold fingers one by one. She caressed the palm that had been stabbed by her fingertips, and rubbed it as if trying to warm her cold hands.

"Now I am powerful and powerful, and I am supported by countless people. The black dragon even promised me that as long as I am alive, he will guarantee that the demons will never attack Ainota. Zheng, I will take you back... this time, I can protect you for the rest of your life." Chang Sheng's expression was extremely gentle, but he used all his strength to warm Jiang Zheng, as if he was an angry child playing with a disobedient toy.

Suddenly, Chang Sheng became very strange, as if they had never really known each other before.

Jiang Zheng no longer resisted that embrace, but only looked at the cloudless sky, his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.

Originally, she was a person who lived in the dark. In her world, there was no trust between people at all. In addition to calculating interests, her life was constantly deceiving goodness.It was Chang Sheng who changed her, like the first ray of light that appeared in the dark world, so faint but so strong in front of the powerful darkness, passing through many obstacles, and gently illuminating the entire empty and silent dark world .

Because of this, she, who is as selfish as always putting reason and interests first, knows that the road ahead is dangerous, and she will desperately accompany Chang Sheng through this journey.

She thinks kindness is just a useless thing, but she always hopes that Changsheng will always be pure and kind.She hates people crying in front of her, but she always wants to wipe away the tears from the corners of Chang Sheng's eyes in the gentlest way possible. She looks down on people who hesitate and miss the opportunity when choosing, but never cares about Chang Sheng's indecision.

She even thought that even if the sky fell, she would try her best to support her, even if her so-called "doing her best" was so insignificant.

That's right, she never blamed Chang Sheng, she was reluctant and could not bear it.It was the same in the past, and it is the same now. She has no way to blame the child who has always been carefully placed in her heart.

Therefore, Jiang Zheng told herself that all this was her fault.

She failed to be a selfish villain, and failed to take all the despicable, dirty and shameful things on herself.

She just regretted that she went to bed too early that night, and was unable to face that decision with Chang Sheng.

If Changsheng told her, she would struggle, hesitate, suffer, and even make choices for Changsheng.If Changsheng can't let go of righteousness and responsibility, she is willing to sacrifice herself. If Changsheng can't let go of her, she will bear all the guilt and accusations on Changsheng's behalf, just like when she sacrificed Baozi back then, be an extremely decisive bad person, do something An extremely selfish choice, and then accept Chang Sheng's crying and complaining... As long as Chang Sheng is still that kind child, even if he plunges into darkness again, so what?

But, it's too late.

The child that she wanted to protect even if she did whatever she could, the child who made her yearn for the light, chase the light, and finally embrace the light, turned around and fell into the darkness for her in the end.

From now on, the bright moon will be stained with dust, and the pain of the past will be accompanied by eternal self-blame, entangled with that child for a lifetime, and can never be erased...

Since then, the light she guarded has dimmed.
