Pearlis didn’t answer. She was a little scared by the adults’ yelling. She hugged Edward tightly and buried her head in his chest.

She’s just a little girl.

She couldn’t bear the sandstorms of the Black Tide Land, and couldn’t resist the turmoil on the Ademir Continent. Edward could feel that the strange power surrounding her was shrinking, and in the process, Perlis became more and more like a human.

“I will protect you.” Edward whispered in Pearlis’ ear.

He stood up holding Perlis and looked at Laplace with cold silver eyes:

“We can negotiate,” he said. “Whether it’s a [Blood Pact] or something else, it’s up to you, but not now, not here.”

“You finally came to your senses…” Laplace took a deep breath, seeming to recover from his loss of composure. “Okay… okay… finish the work, let’s go, and return to the Federation immediately… The Qilang people will retaliate at any time, we can’t give them the chance…”

“…”

The [core] on the top of the spire was lifted up by a helicopter. When the huge creature flew over his head, Edward vaguely saw a strange totem flashing on it.

Hafgard fell, and the turning point in human history began from this moment.

Under the escort of Aleph and Ivar, he boarded Laplace’s helicopter. On the way to the spaceship, Perlis fell asleep in his arms. At this time, the girl had completely lost the dangerous aura she had when they first met. She was just sleeping, like any child who depends on her parents.

Edward looked out the window. The golden sunlight had already covered the earth, caressing the earth’s solid chest like a tide, and gently flowing into every gully. The earth will not cry or wail, just like any eternal thing, some things will never change. It has changed its form, but it still declares its existence under the sunshine every morning.

White flame or white flower? Perhaps it makes no difference.

…END…

16) His eyes are still bright red Till the last breath

“Perlis…”

“Perlis…”

“Perlis…!”

The sound of wind chimes rang out, and Perlis suddenly opened her eyes and found herself half-kneeling in the yellow sand.

She looked up and was surprised to find herself standing on a plain with drifting sand and broken swords sticking out from all directions.

This is [Sword Origin], she has been here before.

What happened…Perlis looked into the distance, following the winding outline of the plain, and saw a statue not far away.

He was also half-kneeling on a hill, his tall back towering over the Plain of Ten Thousand Swords in front of him. His armor was half-damaged, and the flesh from the center of his chest to his left shoulder was exposed. His arms, which were only covered by wrist armor, were covered with black and red lines at the same time.

[Lord of the Black Tide] was seriously injured, but still alive.

Pure white flames were burning in the cracks of His pitch-black armor, burning silently, giving His blasphemous figure an aura of sacredness and weirdness.

Bai Yan…? Why is Bai Yan here?

Just as Perlis was feeling somewhat puzzled, a soft whisper came from her side:

“The duel in front of the Hafurgard Spire left him with a fatal wound. The armor was just a compensatory measure. If the wound is pierced again, his life will end.”

Perlis turned her head and saw a hooded figure standing next to her, looking at the hills in the distance.

“Mom…?” Perlis murmured softly.

She recognized the voice, and even more so the profile – from the childhood memories that gradually came flooding back like a tide, she remembered the gentle embrace of those nights.

“Little White Flower, I have always been with you,” Hali Lali chuckled, “but now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Defeat him and let him return to peace.”

“Ah.”

Perlis felt a warm current flowing from her heart. Hallilali always appeared when she needed her, hugged her and comforted her, and this time was no exception.

But Perlis knew that the Halilali in front of her was just an illusion, and this time, no one would stand between her and the Lord of the Black Tide.

“If I’m not mistaken, this should be his spiritual world.” Perlis turned to the figure at the end of the plain.

“To be precise, this is his [God’s Kingdom],” said Hallilali. “An existence that has reached the [Star Seed] stage can reproduce the world in his spirit on earth and create a domain that belongs to him alone. A being with godhood can only be considered truly fallen if he is defeated in his own [God’s Kingdom].”

“In other words… this plain is projected right in front of the Great Wall?” Perlis felt something was wrong.

“Yes, this means that his consciousness has begun to be invaded by [Immotalus],” Hali Lali nodded, “When the solar eclipse is complete and [the Kingdom of God] blooms, the old god will be hatched and He will return.”

“No, I won’t,” Perlis said calmly, “I will stop Him.”

She waved her hand lightly, and the hilt of the [Star Shattering] sword appeared in her hand, flashing a faint light.

Perlis tried to call back the blade, but found that the hilt could not sense the existence of the blade.

“The blade has been hidden,” Perlis murmured, “just like what the Black Tide followers did to the Broken Star.”

Perlis’s eyes once again swept across the plain filled with broken swords, and her instinct told her that the blade of [Shattered Star] was hidden among these swords.

But she could not reveal it, as the strong disturbance from the Kingdom of God suppressed her power and prevented her from summoning the White Flame.

This is a suppression of status and authority. In this kingdom of God, [Engraved Ink] is the ruling force.

“As long as we can reveal the location of the blade, we can defeat Him.” said Perlis.

“You have grown up, little white flower,” Hallilali nodded with satisfaction, “Yes, the idea is correct, what’s next?”

“I need the White Flame to provide me with extrasensory perception,” Perlis looked at the statue at the end of the horizon, “and the White Flame, it’s there.”

The broken armor of [Lord of the Black Tide] was burning with the white flames left by Halilali in the duel nineteen years ago. Over there was what Perlis needed to take.

It seems that close combat is still inevitable.

“…”

Perlis lightly swung out the butterfly knife, and the crimson factor energy suddenly appeared on the silver blade, and several arcs of electricity burst out around the blade.

Hallilali silently looked at the butterfly knife in Perlis’s hand, with a hint of a smile on her face:

“You can do it.”

Perlis nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and then quickly ran towards the [Lord of the Black Tide] on the plain under the acceleration of the factor potential energy.

……

“This…what is this…”

The soldiers looked at the torn corner of the Great Wall with dazed eyes.

After the [Lord of the Black Tide] was observed to have been penetrated, a blazing white light burst out, covering most of the plains outside the East Great Wall. A huge circular shield covered the entire area.

A part of the arc edge of the mask just overlapped with the Great Wall, and this part of the Great Wall disappeared completely. The white light spread into the inside of the Great Wall, flashing bizarre flares.

“…”

Yan Chu stared at the white light sternly. He knew that this was definitely not something that could be easily solved. According to the most pessimistic guess, this section of the Great Wall had been torn apart.

This means that when the white light disappears, the Great Wall will be connected to the black current land outside.

Yan Chu didn’t know what this meant specifically, but it must be a test.

“…”

Just as everyone was waiting for Yan Chu to speak, a deep female voice suddenly came from the side:

“Do you need my help?”

The soldiers turned around and were surprised to find Yi Qian standing with them, looking at the white light shield at the edge of the Great Wall.

“That is the power of God,” Yi Qian glanced at Yan Chu meaningfully, “I’m afraid you will find it difficult to resist.”

“No, that’s not necessary,” Yan Chu shook his head, “We can handle it.”

He tapped the Neuromancer on the side of his head gently, and then began to give orders loudly:

“Sixth Legion, Eighth Legion, count the number of people immediately and prepare to form a battle array!”

The soldiers immediately got busy. The sudden aid from heaven gave them a chance to rest and recuperate after their disastrous defeat, and they did not intend to let this opportunity go to waste.

Yi Qian silently watched the group of busy little ants. She smiled slightly, and her figure disappeared and reappeared. She stood on the Great Wall and watched the reappearing [Kingdom of God].

“Hafrgard,” she murmured, “it is time to atone.”

……

“call–“

Perlis ran quickly on the Sword Plain, approaching the [Lord of the Black Tide].

She had imagined countless ways of fighting him. The best case scenario was that the [Shattered Stars] falling from the sky would kill him directly, and the worst case scenario would be like now – a close combat.

There was no fear, hesitation or uneasiness in her heart. This was a situation she had anticipated long ago. She had already prepared for it and had nothing to worry about.

Besides, in this place, she can show her skills at will.

“bass–“

16) His eyes are still bright red (Part 2)

The girl’s figure quickly swept across the plain, the butterfly knife spinning rapidly at her fingertips, and red arcs of electricity spread out like vortexes.

There is no destructive factor in the [Kingdom of God]. The only thing Perlis can use is what she had stored previously. Naturally, it is impossible for her to directly use the [Upper Realm] to travel to the side of the [Lord of the Black Tide].

As she ran, she quickly constructed a strategy in her mind.

“…”

The Lord of the Black Tide was obviously aware of Perlis’s approach. He slowly stood up, and a pair of eyes appeared from the gaps in his broken helmet.

——Those were a pair of blood-red eyes.

“Buzzing—”

[Lord of the Black Tide] raised the broken sword at an extremely fast speed, gathering the dark power, and then slashed towards Perlis fiercely –

“boom–“

Black light burst out, Perlis dodged the black light, and then threw out the butterfly knife——

“Om-“

[The Lord of the Black Tide] swung his sword, and the butterfly knife was knocked away. At the same time, Perlis drew out the [Famous Sword: Thunder Burial], and struck out with thunder –

“clang–“

The outline of the broken sword and the black knife collided, red lightning exploded, and the huge force instantly knocked Perlis away.

She staggered to her feet, and saw the Lord of the Black Tide swing his sword again. A dark wave gushed out from the sword and rushed towards Perlis.

“boom–“

This time, Perlis had no time to dodge and could only spin the black knife to block. The dark wave was swept away by the black knife and scattered. Taking this opportunity, Perlis quickly dodged and pulled out a sword from the Sword Plain and threw it towards the Lord of the Black Tide.

“call–“

“clang–“

[Lord of the Black Tide] stopped the gushing waves and blocked Perlis’s attack with his broken sword. In the interweaving of light and shadow, Perlis disappeared.

At this time, there was a disturbance, and the [Lord of the Black Tide] raised his head, only to see a crack opening in the air – Perlis fell from the sky!

The purpose of her throwing the butterfly knife in the first place was to create an anchor point.

The strong factor energy on the butterfly knife is enough for her to travel back and forth.

“…!”

In mid-air, Perlis held a black knife in one hand and a butterfly knife in the other, falling towards the Lord of the Black Tide.

The red light on the black knife flickered more and more. Seeing this, the [Lord of the Black Tide] raised the broken sword and slashed fiercely –

“clang–“

The black knife collided with the broken sword. At this moment, a tremendous force was transmitted to Perlis’s arm. She heard the crisp sound of bone cracking, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly.

At the same time, a red line appeared on the broken sword of [Lord of the Black Tide] – two attacks were enough to inject strong factor energy into the broken sword. At this time, a red line emerged –

“bass–“

The dark sword of [Lord of the Black Tide] broke, and at the same time, Perlis quickly threw the butterfly knife in her other hand towards His chest.

“Shhh-“

The silver blade pierced into the flesh, but did not cause much damage to the Lord of the Black Tide at all. He looked motionless, like a stone statue.

But Perlis’s purpose was not to hurt Him at all, but to seize the white flame burning on His body!
