Chapter 261: No Regrets
The “Mortal Realm Divine Domain” is the divine kingdom amidst the mortal world… The book boy murmured the name of the Divine Ruins, suddenly realizing that this is why the higher-ups of the Night Watch place such importance on Lin Qiye, for he is the soul of this city.
Indeed, to sustain this miracle, the Night Watch has been secretly monitoring Lin Qiye, preventing him from leaving the boundaries of the “Mortal Realm Divine Domain,” because once he departs, this city, which has lost its soul, will cease to exist.
If that’s the case, why do they still want Lin Qiye to become a Night Watcher? Why not let him remain an ordinary person, quietly maintaining this miracle? The book boy asked in confusion.
As I mentioned before, maintaining such a vast miracle requires an immense amount of divine power. The divine power that Mikael infused into Lin Qiye can only sustain this city for ten years. Once the ten-year limit is reached, which is half a month from now, this city will still vanish, and Lin Qiye, who will regain the complete “Mortal Realm Divine Domain,” will become the most potential divine agent in this world.
At that time, informing him about the Forbidden Ruins, the mysteries, and the divine beings will be too late… He may very well fall into darkness, deceived by the followers of the Ancient Gods, becoming an evil deity.
Thus, his joining the Night Watch was already part of the higher-ups’ plan.
Chen Fuzi sighed deeply, recalling the call he received from Commander Ye, and continued: Our purpose for coming to Cangnan this time is not to investigate divine fluctuations, but to assess Lin Qiye’s current mental state and determine whether he can accept the reality of the city’s destruction in half a month…
Unexpectedly, this group of foreign gods intervened, hastening the city’s demise.
Fortunately, over the past ten years, the Night Watch has been preparing for this moment. Even if Cangnan disappears, they have the most comprehensive contingency plan…
The book boy turned to look at the gradually vanishing city and sighed.
The residents of Cangnan City, erased in confusion and ignorance, then revived, enjoyed ten years of life, leaving behind their offspring… Lin Qiye’s merits are immense.
Not everyone is unaware. Chen Fuzi glanced out the window and slowly spoke: There is one person who has known everything from the beginning; he… is the one who has suffered the most and is the saddest in this city.
…
On the rooftop of the office.
Chen Muye, Wu Xiangnan, Hong Ying, and Wen Qimo stood there, still immersed in the bewilderment of Si Xiaonan’s departure, speechless.
Captain, Leng Xuan is also missing. Hong Ying bit her lip, her face somewhat pale. Xiaonan, she…
Xiaonan did not betray us. Chen Muye said firmly. She just temporarily left to do what she wanted to do… I believe she will come back.
Wen Qimo remained silent for a long time, then nodded. I also believe Xiaonan will not betray us.
Just as Hong Ying was about to say something, a multitude of golden light points began to rise from the city, and everything around them started to disappear…
What is happening? Wu Xiangnan was stunned by this scene.
In the distance, one by one, pedestrians transformed into golden light points, dissipating into the air. Parents about to turn into light points gently stroked their children’s heads, smiling as they told them to be strong…
Because they are the generation of miracles.
What is going on? Why is everyone disappearing except for the children? Wen Qimo frowned and spoke, looking down at his body, which showed no signs of turning into light points.
Hong Ying and Wu Xiangnan exchanged glances; they also had not transformed into light points.
Because you have been in Cangnan for too short a time. Chen Muye’s voice came from the side. He sat at the edge of the rooftop, looking at the gradually disappearing city, calmly stating,
Only those who were in Cangnan City at 2:36:19 PM on October 24, ten years ago… will disappear.
Wen Qimo and the others exchanged glances, nodding thoughtfully.
I remember, Hong Ying, you came to Cangnan four years ago. Wen Qimo said. I came three years ago, and the vice-captain seems to be…
I came five years ago. Wu Xiangnan replied.
An Qingyu, standing nearby, looked at her body in confusion, also showing no signs of light points drifting away. After pondering for a moment, she nodded.
In October ten years ago… I should have been in Huaihai City attending elementary school; I hadn’t come to Cangnan yet.
Wu Xiangnan thought for a moment and slowly said:
I remember, among us, it seems that only…
At this point, he suddenly froze, as if realizing something, and turned sharply to the side.
Sitting alone at the edge of the rooftop, Chen Muye looked down at his body, a hint of bitterness appearing in his eyes.
His body was disappearing.
Golden light began to dissipate from his fingertips, gradually spreading to his palm, wrist, and arm… The golden glow illuminated his cheek as he looked up at the vanishing city, his eyes reflecting the myriad light points.
As if they were as brilliant as the stars.
Captain!! Hong Ying was stunned by this scene, and after a moment, she frantically ran to Chen Muye’s side, staring intently at those light points, her whole body trembling.
Captain, you…
It’s alright. A gentle smile appeared on Chen Muye’s face. He reached out with his other hand, gently stroking Hong Ying’s head. I have waited for this day for a long time.
Chen Muye! Wu Xiangnan’s brows furrowed tightly. What is going on? Why…
Chen Muye sighed deeply, looking into the distance, and calmly said: Ten years ago, while still in Shangjing City, I received orders to leave Shangjing alone and head to Cangnan to find the person prophesied by Zeus, who could overturn divine authority. My mission was to find him and bring him back to Shangjing.
Unexpectedly, during the border divine war, Gaia seized the “Shiva’s Grudge” and, at the cost of expending power, directly erased the entire Cangnan City… At that time, I happened to be within Cangnan.
Chen Muye shook his head with a bitter smile. Thanks to Lin Qiye, I had another chance to live. At that time, I still didn’t know what had happened. Later, after learning everything from the commander, I voluntarily stayed in Cangnan, hiding the “Shiva’s Grudge,” and from then on, I never returned to the capital, disappearing from sight.
Then, you all came…
At this point, he reached into his chest pocket and took out the sheepskin scroll wrapped in “Wuyuan Sha,” handing it to Hong Ying.
Xiaonan did not take the “Shiva’s Grudge”; she is not a bad person. Next… I should no longer be able to guard this thing. Hong Ying, please keep it safe for me, and when the higher-ups arrive, hand it over.
Chen Muye’s body had already disappeared halfway, the golden light illuminating a corner of darkness. Hong Ying had already turned into a tearful mess. She took the “Shiva’s Grudge” from Chen Muye’s hand and nodded heavily.
Chen Muye lowered his head, took out his own emblem from his pocket, softly reciting the small words on the back, looking at the city before him, a smile appearing between his brows.
I, Chen Muye, have guarded this city for ten years. Now… it is time to leave with it.
Captain!! Hong Ying cried out, reaching out her hand, seemingly wanting to grasp the dissipating light points, but could only hold onto emptiness.
Chen Muye’s gaze swept over the faces of the others. He smiled and said:
By the way, when you see Lin Qiye again, remember to thank him for me.
Thank him for giving me, for giving my children, for giving everyone in this city… a miracle.
These ten years, I, Chen Muye, have no regrets…
His voice gradually faded, and Chen Muye’s body transformed into golden light points, ascending to the sky, merging with the golden torrent, becoming a brilliant expanse of sky.
