Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 158 Starlight
Qingkong's body sank into the darkness of the abyss. Moon Lake became quiet, with only the leaves of the World Tree rustling.
The Moon Lake area is always shrouded in darkness. No one knows how time passes, and there is no sign of the abyss closing.
Suddenly, a little starlight appeared in the darkness of the abyss. The starlight quickly grew larger, then rushed out of the ravine and landed on the water platform. The abyss closed up immediately, and no trace could be seen on the smooth surface of the lake. The starry sky was still shining brightly.
The starlight coming out of the abyss stopped on the water platform, and the moon reflected on the lake moved towards the water platform, covering the starlight above the moon shadow.
Then all the stars on the lake surface turned into meteors, shooting towards the shadow of the moon under the water platform. A powerful light spread upward along the water platform, and a beam of light shot up into the sky.
The darkness of night was dispelled by this light, the day returned again, the scorching sun shone on the huge world tree in the sky, and the crater was covered with green trees, full of vitality.
Above the water platform, the light column formed by the starry sky energy dissipated.
Qingkong stood on the water platform and muttered to himself in amazement: "The abyss actually excluded me. No..."
She looked at her hands, which were as white and tender as jade under the light.
"This body is not that one. It is a reshaping of star energy. I can't feel the continuation of Luke's consciousness. What happened? Is she still in the abyss?"
The Book of Disaster fell, Qingkong took the book, and then flew into the sky.
In the air her body turned into a meteor and flew towards the Tedega Hills.
Tedega Hills.
The battle around the Triumphal Fortress was extremely fierce. After only three days, the barbarian army did not even approach the edge of the fortress. The Celtic Duke could only increase the intensity of the attack again and again, and even ordered the Abyss Mage to release the secret technique of overdrawing vitality, so that the barbarian warriors dared to charge.
Luke was sitting on a comfortable sofa on the Kirov-class airship, admiring the fierce battlefield.
Although the barbarian army's attack power is getting stronger day by day, as the magic equipment is transported from Raging Waves City one after another, the combat effectiveness of the Raging Waves City Armored Assault Division is also increasing rapidly day by day.
Luke even kept a reserve force to deal with the situation if the Golden Man directly joined the war.
Above the battlefield, a meteor flew from the horizon, targeting the Kirov-class airship.
An alarm immediately sounded inside the airship when an unidentified object approached.
The shields of all the Imperial airships were deployed, and several Magic Titans were ejected from the escorting airships, rushing towards the incoming meteors.
The meteor was moving at an extremely high speed, and even made several zigzag turns before passing by the side of the attacking Magic Titan.
The airship's alarm sounded more urgently, attracting Luke's attention.
He saw the meteor approaching at high speed and wondered what was coming.
Kylena ran over in a panic: "Your Excellency the Duke, the enemy has entered the escort airship's warning area, and our defense system cannot effectively block the intruder."
Luke sat there calmly: "The other party is coming straight from the open air and has not shown any obvious hostility, so we don't need to be too nervous.
We can just follow the normal defense procedures, and this will be a good opportunity to test our soldiers."
Kylena asked: “What should we do if the other party attacks us?”
"Don't worry, I'll help..."
Luke didn't finish his words as his eyes were fixed on what he saw.
Kylena looked outside, and her nervousness immediately relaxed: “It turned out to be Miss Qingkong.”
Outside the airship, Qingkong stopped at the outer layer of the magic shield, looking at Luke behind the glass window of the airship.
Luke's expression became very serious. He did not immediately order the airship to lift its defenses. Instead, he observed the clear sky in front of him with caution.
Kailina asked: "Sir, should we order the airship to remove the defense shield and invite Miss Qingkong in?"
After a moment, Luke nodded and replied, "Let her in!"
"Yes, sir!"
Kylena went to give orders on behalf of Luke.
Soon, Qingkong came to Luke's command room under the guidance of Kailina.
“ Kylena , you have nothing to do here. Stay outside and don’t let anyone in.” Luke waited for Kylena to walk out, and said to Qingkong politely, “Please sit down!”
Clear Sky sat down.
Luke asked, "Who are you?"
"I..." Qingkong looked at the vigilant Luke and said with a teasing smile: "You can come to visit my spiritual starry sky whenever you want. Now I'm in front of you, and you can't recognize me?"
That familiar smile immediately made Luke feel familiar. He couldn't help but laugh and asked curiously: "This body is not mine! What happened?"
Qingkong said helplessly: "I was rejected by the abyss, forcibly separated from that body, and then spit out by the abyss like spitting out a fruit core.
Then the starry sky reshaped my body.
Are you happy to see me?"
"Are you okay?" Luke asked, "Now that you have come out of Qingkong's body and have your own body, you can no longer occupy Qingkong's name."
"Why? I am the consciousness created by the awakening of Clear Sky."
"No, Qingkong is just a game character I created, a prop that is very important to me. I have no way to explain to the outside world why there are two Qingkongs coexisting, so you must have a name that distinguishes Qingkong.
As a sibling of Qingkong."
"Can't we discuss it?"
"There is no room for negotiation unless you return to Qingkong's body."
"Okay... I'll give the name Clear Sky to your precious doll. I'll be called Starlight, someone who will always be by your side... no, an elf!" Starlight, who now has her own name, asked Luke, "Clear Sky is still in the abyss, can you sense her?"
Luke closed his eyes, opened them after a while and answered, "When you entered the abyss, I cut off all contact with Qingkong. I can only confirm Qingkong's status through the login interface of the Epoch game. She should be safe.
What is in the abyss?
Starlight replied: "It is the starting point of everything and the end point of everything. It is the place that encompasses all disasters and the origin of all things in the world.
Destruction and rebirth alternate, there is no end, there is no escape.”
Luke nodded after listening: "You said it, but it's the same as not saying it."
Xingguang shrugged helplessly: "I have tried my best to describe it. The abyss is a kind of original energy. There is no way to describe what it is using existing language, because we ourselves are the creation of the abyss and the starry sky.
There is no concept of time and space, no distinction between existence and nothingness, and anything that enters the abyss is a symbol. Trying to explain what the abyss is will only lead to extremes, and you will become as crazy as the Abyss Mage. "
The abyss is indescribable!
Just like this starry sky...
The starry sky we see is only an appearance. Actually, we are in this starry sky, just like we are in the abyss without knowing it.
Qingkong may be in this world in another form, and this name is the symbol of her continued existence.
Luke thought of something and asked Starlight, "Are there any dragons ?"
Xingguang answered simply: "No!"
Luke said seriously, "Think carefully, is there a dragon?"
Xingguang answered again very straightforwardly: "No! Moon Lake is so vast, and there is a dragon of this size there, there is no way I could not see it.
It's very strange. The other four ancient civilizations all sent personnel into the abyss, and the Shadow Clan even sent four, but the Dragon Kingdom did not send a giant dragon... Did you, as the King of the Dragon Kingdom, stop the giant dragon from exploring the abyss?"
yes!
Why are there no dragons?
Luke recalled the scene he saw that day through the clear sky's eyes, and there was indeed no dragon on Moon Lake.
But there can't be no dragon!
If not, it means that the abyss has completely erased him, and even the symbol of his name no longer exists.
The Abyss is truly an awe-inspiring place.
I wonder if I can still see a clear sky...
Maybe one day we will suddenly forget this name!
