Lord of Deception

A buffet where you don't have to worry about being stuffed to death and you can eat whatever you want can solve any unhappiness.

The satisfaction brought by that feeling of fullness is the purest and most irreplaceable.

Yu Ziqing is in a good mood now, and the hungry ghosts are in an even better mood. They have been waiting for this filling feast for a long time.

They have been waiting for the call, waiting to contribute, and they have been waiting for a long time.

This is a carnival of hungry ghosts. Most of those crazy hungry ghosts have been hungry ghosts for a long time before they were alive. Many of them have been tortured by hunger to the point of losing their minds. Even if they become hungry ghosts, it is actually not good. How many.

They were like a crazy wave of zombies that had lost their senses. They were stacked one on top of the other, surging and rolling, drowning, strangling, tearing apart and devouring all the demons in front of them.

Those demons that can make human beings lose their minds and become crazy.

This moment is the good medicine to bring those crazy hungry ghosts back to their senses.

When things have developed to this point, even Yu Ziqing can no longer stop. Only when all the demon buffets here are eaten will everything stop.

After finally stimulating the power of the high-level Hungry Ghost Way, Yu Ziqing didn't want to waste it, and he didn't want to stop.

He is also addicted to eating...

Demon Zi Zaitian is completely frightened now.

As a demon who had harmed countless human monks, he even found the right opportunity to catch the flaw and harmed the former Emperor Zhen.

He had never seen, and never knew, anything that fed on demons.

He now somewhat understood how the human monks felt when facing him.

That kind of natural talent has little to do with rank.

When human monks face demons, they still have many means to restrain them, and they even have a demon's true name spell specifically created to target demons.

But Zi Zaitian doesn't even know what a hungry ghost is, so where can he find things like a hungry ghost's true name spell.

He just wanted to hide first and take advantage of the demon to escape.

Seeing those evil spirits being devoured one by one, Zi Zaitian discovered in despair that the ninth-level King Xiang had turned into a relatively soft persimmon.

Thinking of King Xiang, Zizaitian turned into a black light along the ground and went straight to where King Xiang was.

The amputated leg was nailed to the ground by thousands of demon-suppressing awls. It was still struggling instinctively, its flesh and blood squirming, and it squeezed out the demon-suppressing awls little by little.

Prince Xiang kept filling in the squeezed out demon-suppressing cone.

While he was busy, he saw not far away, a black energy emerged from the ground and turned into a demon.

King Xiang looked at the Demon with cold eyes, sneered, ignored him at all, and went about his own business.

He was determined, and in order to save his father, he had already reached the edge of semi-madness. His heart was as solid as a rock, without any cracks, and he was not afraid of this demon who was like a bereaved dog.

Zi Zaitian looked at the severed limbs on the ground and grinned.

"Prince Xiang, long time no see."

"roll."

King Xiang gave a low shout, and the sound was loud and clear, without a trace of darkness. The sound wave bombarded Zi Zaitian's body and turned his body into powder on the spot.

However, wisps of black smoke appeared in the air again, and after gathering, they turned into Zi Zaitian again.

His expression remained unchanged and he didn't care. This method couldn't kill him at all.

His only chance of survival now lies with Prince Xiang.

"As the saying goes, this is the time, the other is the time. Your Highness, Prince Xiang, there is no need to waste such efforts. We can have a good talk."

"roll."

"I know His Highness Prince Xiang wants to save your father. I can help you. I can even help you find your father's remaining limbs."

As he spoke, Zi Zaitian pointed at the still struggling severed limb. In an instant, he saw that the severed limb became quiet, and the restless demonic energy became calm.

"See, I can help you.

And no matter where they suppressed your father's severed limbs, I can help you find them.

There is my strength in those stumps, and I can’t find anything that no one can hide.

Moreover, without my help, you would never be able to find it all.

I saw it with my own eyes back then. Those stumps were sealed and suppressed.

For safety reasons, no one among them knew where all the places of suppression were.

Only I can help you. "

King Xiang raised his head and glanced coldly at the bewitching demon.

The Demon knows what he wants most, even though it was the Demon who caused all this, he still dares to say so at this moment.

King Xiang also understood that what the demon said was true.

After his father was dismembered, he was divided into six parts and each was taken away and suppressed by a strong man at the time.

For the sake of safety, no one really knew where the others suppressed them.

In this way, even if one of them has a problem, the others will be fine.

Without gathering all the physical bodies, Zhenhuang, who was possessed by the devil back then, would not be able to achieve anything.

His father's right leg was taken away, sealed and suppressed, and King Xiang didn't know it.

He didn't know why something went wrong more than a hundred years ago.

There is just a vague guess, which may be related to the two ninth-level powerhouses who took action more than two thousand years ago.

Because among the nine people, there were two strong men who had not survived the disaster and had already passed away.

It is most likely because of this that the secret was leaked.

"As a demon, I won't lie to you, unlike you humans.

In the whole world, only I can help you save your father.

But I am about to die in the hands of those hungry ghosts. If you don't save me, you will never be able to achieve this goal. "

Zi Zaitian was still bewitching him crazily, with a calm and calm tone in his voice, as if what he was saying was the truth.

He left the choice to King Xiang and let King Xiang struggle between the dilemmas.

No matter how King Xiang chooses, as long as King Xiang wavers, he will have the opportunity to sneak into King Xiang's heart.

King Xiang drooped his eyelids slightly. He knew that the demon was bewitching him, and he had not forgotten that the demon was a big enemy. But he also knew that the demon was right. He did have the ability to help control his father's right leg and let him Take it out.

It can even help him find what's left of his father.

The demon felt the entanglement of King Xiang, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually became exaggerated.

He had already sensed that King Xiang's heart, which was as solid as a rock and had no cracks, began to tremble, and in the trembling, cracks appeared.

He saw it, saw the crack getting bigger and bigger, revealing his heart.

The demon didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't even want to wait for King Xiang to make a choice.

His body disappeared silently, turning into a wisp of black light that ordinary monks could not see or detect, and rushed towards the gap.

He saw that the gap was getting bigger and bigger. It was King Xiang's heart, which opened the door to him and expressed his welcome.

However, the next moment, he bumped into a pillar.

He raised his head and saw not a pillar, but a fence.

The sound of banging and banging emerged, and bars appeared out of thin air, forming a cage, trapping him in it.

On the golden fence, countless runes were wandering, and outside the cage, there were circles of Dao patterns, spinning and rising.

The demon's body disappeared inside, reappeared, turned into black mist, collapsed and dissipated, and reappeared a moment later.

He tried every method, but couldn't break out of this cage.

King Xiang stood outside the cage and looked at him with an incomparable expression. Even now, the demon can still clearly sense that the cracks emerging in King Xiang's heart are so close, but he cannot cross them no matter what. It's past.

"You know, are there any differences between humans and demons like you?"

"What?" The devil's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were full of hostility, he didn't understand.

"Even if there is weakness in our hearts, even if we are in a dilemma, even if we are full of flaws to you demons, at the critical moment, we all know how to choose the right way."

"Back then, my father was unyielding. When he found out that he couldn't expel you, he would rather lose face, the throne, and his life than expose himself, causing waves, attracting the attention of the world, and attracting the help of nine comrades. Just because I don’t want to compromise.”

"If my father knew that I cooperated with a devil like you in order to save him, even if he survives, his life will be worse than death."

"As a son of a man, I'm in a dilemma. That's my problem. I'm not as decisive as my father, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid."

"I started preparing this cage two thousand years ago. After it was successfully made, I continued to improve and strengthen it for more than a thousand years. It is left to you."

"I asked someone for something, and I agreed to it. I sent him a few rats to kill him to vent his anger."

"Now, it's just the right time to lend your dog's life as a gift."

The crack in King Xiang's heart represents his entanglement. He really wants to save his father, but he also understands that his father definitely doesn't want him to cooperate with the devil.

Is it better to follow his father's wishes, or to save his father first and then kill the demon with his backhand?

This is something he struggled with himself.

But when he thought about his father's desperate efforts not to compromise, he completely understood.

Now, he has no retreat and no choice.

Even now, he is not completely sure whether he is right or wrong in completely trusting Qing Ziyu.

He only knew that choosing anything else would definitely be wrong.

The devil knew that he had been tricked, so he roared and cursed, and continued to try to seduce him, but it still had no effect.

Prince Xiang stood outside the cage, his eyes cold and firm.

"You don't need to bewitch me. Even if there is no possibility of my father coming back from now on, I will never, never cooperate with you in any way. I am afraid that my father will die, and I am even more afraid that my father will be worse than dead."

The demon slowly calmed down. The cage that King Xiang had prepared for two thousand years was simply not something that his current body of the demon could break.

He knew that he was dead.

Because the army of evil spirits in the distance has become less and less.

Those hungry ghosts have carved into every inch of their bodies not to waste food.

They were scraping three feet across the ground, sweeping over like a carpet, and no trace of evil thoughts could fool them.

After an unknown amount of time, the demon saw a black army of hungry ghosts pouring over from the horizon.

Yu Ziqing was holding the Hungry Ghost Sword in his hand, looking like a hungry ghost, with black fire burning under his feet, and walked towards him step by step.

The demon stood in the cage, his body began to tremble involuntarily, and he was involuntarily afraid, just like those humans in the past when they met him.

"It's useless if you kill me. Don't you know that a demon never has a physical body or a soul, and any trace of power that comes out of it is a demon?

You kill me here, and there are more me, and I cannot be killed at all. "

"Is there anything else?" Yu Ziqing was a little surprised.

"..."

Zi Zaitian was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and gave himself a slap in the face.

Slutty mouth.

"Hahaha..." Yu Ziqing smiled from ear to ear, and began to salivate uncontrollably: "That's good. I thought you demons with real names would lose one if you die. And there's more. good."

"Besides, I think you misunderstood me a little. I never kill demons. It's such a waste. We usually eat them directly."

King Xiang waved his hand, and the huge golden cage continued to shrink, turning into a small cage three inches high.

He held the cage, his eyes a little complicated.

"I promised you that I would give you a few rats to vent your anger on, but this guy is just one of them."

"Then thank you, His Highness Prince Xiang."

Yu Ziqing took the cage, opened his big mouth, and swallowed the cage together.

He closed his mouth and gestured to King Xiang.

"It's ready to open."

When the cage was opened, the demon hid in the corner of the cage, still trying to hide, but the devouring power that appeared in Yu Ziqing's throat turned him into a black air on the spot, and swallowed him without any trace left.

Yu Ziqing's belly slowly swelled and turned into a beer belly. He opened his mouth and spat out the cage and returned it to King Xiang.

Yu Ziqing looked at the hungry ghosts behind him and waved.

"You continue to eat and waste a little bit. If you let me know, there will be no next time."

Those hungry ghosts continued to dig three feet into the ground, determined not to waste food.

Yu Ziqing felt his power. It should be that the demon has not been digested yet and can still last for a while.

This time it lasted a particularly long time, which gave him a new idea.

Is there a possibility that he would find a person as the target of judgment, and complete the judgment with the belief of killing the other person, but he could not kill the other person in one go.

In this case, the information about the opponent must be controlled manually, and the minimum judgment standard can be reached. Only if the power obtained in this way is not too strong, can the opponent be defeated in seconds.

But you can't know too much information. If you know too much, after completing the judgment, as long as you take action, the opponent may be killed.

So, can there be a loophole stuck?

At that time, we can also experiment to see how long the power gained lasts.

Judging from the current situation, it should be that as long as it is still fighting, it will not disappear.

But the combat state will not always exist. It stands to reason that if you escape far enough, you are out of the battle.

Like swallowing a demon, the demon is struggling in his belly and will not be digested for a while. This kind of situation where he is in a state of fighting all the time is rare.

It doesn't matter, even if it doesn't last long, it's still a new way to explode.

After going back, I will try to find a chance to see if I can find such a strong enough brother.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless if the other party is weaker than you.

After suppressing his random thoughts for the time being, Yu Ziqing held his beer belly and glanced at Prince Xiang's father's legs.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xiang, you are lucky this time. You happened to meet a big devil. Next time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

"What's the meaning?"

Yu Ziqing didn't answer, he waved the Hungry Ghost Sword in his hand.

The sword light passed through the huge broken leg, but it did not damage it at all. Only wisps of black energy were chopped off and fell out with the sword light.

Wu Shuangge, who was nearly 200 kilograms fat, had a round face, but his eyes were still shining. He rushed forward, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I can still eat, I'm only eighty percent full."

Xian Xian also grabbed a piece of it and stuffed it into her mouth with a round face.

"I'm only seventy percent full."

A large number of hungry ghosts rushed forward, tearing the demonic thoughts into pieces and devouring them.

Yu Ziqing licked his mouth and touched his beer belly. He really couldn't eat anymore.

Forget it, let’s let those hungry ghosts eat until they are full when they finally get a chance.

He swung his sword one after another, and the sword light stretched for hundreds of feet, cutting through the thigh section by section, cutting out all the evil thoughts inside bit by bit.

The demonic energy on the thigh was also dissipating rapidly, and it began to return to its normal appearance, with the size slowly shrinking.

Suddenly, he saw a pillar-like leg hair, which fell down as the broken leg shrank.

Yu Ziqing immediately gave Xianxian a look. Xianxian had quick eyes and quick hands, and put away the leg hair before it fell.

Ninth-level physical training, and after being possessed and strengthened, he transformed into his true body, with straight and hard leg hair that can be used directly as a weapon.

King Xiang, who was not far away, saw this scene and his eyelids twitched slightly. He wanted to say something, but in the end he refrained from saying anything. He pretended that he didn't see it.

Forget it, his father probably won't mind.

Just take it. After his father's broken leg returns to normal, there won't be such a chance.

The severed leg, which was a thousand feet high, was cut all the way over, and it lasted for half an hour. When the last ray of evil energy dissipated, the last evil thoughts were forcibly cut out and swallowed by the hungry ghosts.

The size of the amputated leg quickly shrank and turned into the size of a normal human leg.

The thigh stood on the ground, the fracture was open, and the originally dark flesh and blood had returned to life. Blood spurted out from there, and the flesh and blood grew rapidly.

This scene left Yu Ziqing stunned for a moment.

A person grows out of his legs.

A middle-aged man who didn't look very big but had sharp muscles stood there with his eyes closed.

King Xiang was already kneeling on the ground, his face full of surprise, his eyes filled with tears, and he choked with sobs.

"father……"

The man in the middle slowly opened his eyes, his dilated pupils slowly contracted, but his divine light was still concentrated.

He glanced at Prince Xiang, his expression a little dazed, as if he was identifying with the person in his memory.

"Ren'er, you are so old..."

"It's me, dad."

The former Emperor Zhen helped Prince Xiang up, with a trace of confusion in his eyes. He looked at the surrounding environment, then at Yu Ziqing's weird appearance, and the countless hungry ghosts around him. He had too many puzzles, too many Lots of doubts.

"Dad, I only know your right leg, why did you wake up?" Prince Xiang was a little puzzled and a little surprised.

"That devil has been sneaking into my heart for I don't know how long. I was plotted against, and that devil was waiting for the opportunity.

It would be a disaster if he was taken away by a demon and became the Zhenhuang.

Therefore, I shattered my soul and transformed into a physical body, not giving him a chance at all.

Unfortunately, it ended up causing a big mess. "

"Dad, you were plotted against? Who was plotting against you?" King Xiang was shocked and angry. He had never known about this.

Even the current Emperor Zhen, as well as people outside, don't know about this. Everyone only knows that at that time, his father suddenly became possessed by a demon. Within a day, he was so possessed that he lost control.

King Xiang thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't understand how his father, a man so determined and unyielding, could suddenly become possessed by a demon.

Now, it all makes sense.

"I don't know who it is." The former Zhenhuang shook his head, thought for a moment, and then warned: "You should also keep this matter in your stomach."

Yu Ziqing did not disturb the father and son's reminiscing about old times. Some words were not suitable for him to listen to. He led the hungry ghosts and continued to clean the entire mourning cave and eat some snacks on the way.

The former Zhenhuang watched Yu Ziqing and the hungry ghosts walk away. He wanted to touch King Xiang's head like before. After thinking for a while, his hand finally fell on King Xiang's shoulder.

"Tell me what happened. When I regain consciousness and see you, a lot of things must have happened..."

King Xiang briefly talked about the events of the past two thousand years, focusing on the recent events, especially about the Jinlan Mountain forbidden area, how to save him, and how to wake him up.

The former Emperor Zhen expressed his appreciation for his second brother's prompt decision to usurp the throne.

"Your second uncle is indeed more suitable than you. Back then, I had the intention to make him the crown prince, but he refused and asked me to make you the crown prince.

Everything is fine now, at least much better than I thought.

Don't tell anyone about the plot against me, because I didn't find out who was plotting against me.

All I know is that he is a powerful person in the Yuanshen realm.

You don’t want to investigate this matter, just pretend you don’t know about it for now. "

"Dad, I understand. I won't talk about this until all the other parts of your body are found." King Xiang agreed in a deep voice.

He knew that his father was afraid of his impulsiveness.

However, it has been two thousand years, and he is no longer the young and impulsive boy his father remembered.

He has been holding on to that glimmer of hope that is so slim that he cannot see it. It has been a full two thousand years. He has tried his best to practice just to gain strength early so that that glimmer of hope can be grasped and seen. a little.

"Now I only have one right leg left. Although my soul was completely shattered, I am still conscious and have some memories.

It’s no longer suitable for me to go back to the earthquake, nor to show up.

Later, you can go back by yourself.

From now on, just call me You Zhen, leaving the word "Zhen" in your thoughts. "

"Dad..." Prince Xiang was a little anxious. He understood, but he couldn't accept it.

"You'll know in a moment, don't worry, we owe you a favor this time."

…

Yu Ziqing asked Wu Shuangge and Xianxin to take the hungry ghosts to clean up, while he himself came to the tombstone of Luoge Tianjun.

Looking at the tombstone as big as a mountain, Yu Ziqing clasped his hands and bowed.

"Senior, I have finished my work and am about to go back. I came here specifically to say goodbye to senior.

The junior left a jade slip. If the senior wakes up in the future and needs help for something, he can just crush the jade slip.

The juniors must come as soon as possible. "

Yu Ziqing left a jade slip, saluted again, and turned to leave.

He didn't know why Luoge Tianjun didn't seek another life. With his strength, he must be able to do it. Why he didn't enter eternal sleep when he died in the end, but stayed here all the time.

However, at least he had a good impression of Luo Ge Tianjun.

Just like those sages who Yu Ziqing saw in the memory of Our Lady of Baiyang, who struggled for their ideals.

Moreover, he is more like a person than a powerful person.

Those high-ranking and powerful people outside will not apologize to a strange little weakling.

When Yu Ziqing came back from paying homage to Luoge Tianjun, King Xiang was already waiting there with his father.

"I've met my little friend." The former Emperor Zhen was the first to greet him.

"I've met senior." Yu Ziqing quickly returned the greeting.

"My name is You Zhen. I have something I want to ask my friend for help."

"Senior, there is no need to be polite. I, the junior, can do my best and should not refuse."

King Xiang stood aside and wanted to say something, but was pushed down by his father.

"Young friends should know that I only have my right leg now, and my identity is embarrassing. I cannot return to the earthquake, and my identity cannot be known to outsiders.

Furthermore, although my physical body has been separated, it is still connected. Now that my demonic thoughts have been eliminated, other parts of me are still infected by demonic thoughts.

As time goes by, I will continue to have demonic thoughts here, which is unavoidable.

Therefore, I would like to ask my little friend, can I live next to those hungry ghosts? "

"This..." Yu Ziqing didn't expect that this was what You Zhen was going to say.

If this was the case, he would naturally agree. The hungry ghosts would have regular meal tickets, and You Zhen would be able to stay awake all the time. It was a win-win situation, and there was plenty of room in Busch Town.

But then, Yu Ziqing came up with some other ideas.

"Senior, wait a moment."

His consciousness contacted the ring on the seventh floor that was kept warm in the sea of ​​blood. A ray of consciousness flew in and began to contact Lao Yang.

The old sheep soon appeared.

"What's the matter, so anxious? I was about to contact you, but I was afraid that you were busy. What happened? Why did those hungry ghosts suddenly disappear?"

"Don't worry about it for now. I have something to discuss with you and the chief."

Yu Ziqing briefly talked about Prince Xiang's father.

"That's probably the case. Now that Old Zhenhuang only has one right leg, he can still regain consciousness.

He now has some thoughts and wants to hide his identity and not want to go back to Daquan.

Even I know that it is definitely not a good thing for the emperor to meet the emperor and the two emperors are alive. How could the old Zhenhuang not understand?

He now wants to be neighbors with hungry ghosts, so that he can get rid of new evil thoughts at any time.

So, I thought, let him go to Busch Town. There are so many people, and he will be exposed sooner or later.

It would be better to let him live directly outside the forbidden area of ​​Jinlan Mountain and be neighbors with those hungry ghosts in the trees.

Since it is a favor, then give it a big favor.

Aren't we always lacking a ninth-level physical practitioner to take charge?

Since the Ninth Level Body Cultivation doesn’t have a thigh, it’s okay.

Now the question is, is it suitable, and what about Lao Zhenhuang?

I'm not sure, so I want to hear your opinion. You can discuss it with the director. "

Yu Ziqing said in a crackling voice. Lao Yang was a little caught off guard as he digested the news.

After thinking for a moment, Lao Yang nodded.

"This is not a problem. Although I have never been in contact with the old Emperor Zhen, he was dismembered and suppressed before I was born.

However, even if the record of Daqian discredits him, it actually does not discredit his character.

He had many friends and was outspoken, and had been so since his youth.

He later became Emperor Zhen, and his temper remained unchanged. He had good personal relationships with many powerful people who were unwilling to contact the divine dynasty.

If not, there wouldn't have been so many strong men willing to help Da Zhen in the first place.

However, for such a big matter, I'd better discuss it with the mayor. "

Laoyang temporarily went offline and found the director.

The director grasped the key points very keenly.

"Just tell me directly, that person was once a ninth-level physical cultivator, and his character is extremely reliable. He talks so much nonsense, and I can't understand it."

"..." Lao Yang spent a long time talking, and finally got this sentence: "So, what do you mean when I ask you?"

"What else can it mean? The wasteland is not yours, and they don't live in your house. They are just neighbors with you, so just come."

"..." Lao Yang bared his teeth, entered the seventh floor without saying a word, and replied to Yu Ziqing's letter.

After getting the reply, Yu Ziqing opened his eyes and looked at You Zhen and Prince Xiang.

"It's like this, senior. I just asked the elderly at home, and they all thought that senior wants to find a place to live next to hungry ghosts.

It's better to go directly to the wilderness. Although it's a bit cold there, there won't be many outsiders there.

Moreover, there are millions of hungry ghosts living there. My family is also there, and we can all be neighbors.

Actually, I would like to invite senior to live in my house directly, but I don’t know what senior means..."

"My dear friend, let's forget it. It's not suitable to live in my friend's house." You Zhen quickly refused, and he cupped his hands: "It's great to be a neighbor, my dear friend."

"No hard work, no hard work..."

Yu Ziqing was in a good mood, and he was very pleased with Prince Xiang.

Why is this guy trying so hard to save his father? He is doing his best for Jin Lanshan.

From now on, You Zhen will live next door and we will all be neighbors. If anything happens, he can still sit there with his legs crossed, eating melon seeds and watching the show?

King Xiang said nothing, he was also very satisfied with the result.

Calm down, he also knew that if his father just responded to the earthquake like this, there would be a big commotion later.

As for his father's condition, it seems that he may get sick at any time. Now being a neighbor with the best doctor is the best outcome.

King Xiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

"Dad, I will visit you often and find clues to other parts as soon as possible."

"Don't be in a hurry, remember, don't be in a hurry, you didn't rescue me this time." You Zhen warned again, and then asked: "Have you thought about what to do next? "

"Dad, I understand."

"You don't understand. Remember, you can't involve Brother Qing in what's going to happen next. Also, if you find those rats, it's hard to catch up with them. You can't let them threaten Brother Qing. "

"Don't worry, dad." Prince Xiang nodded heavily.

If You Zhen didn't say anything, he would do the same thing, and no one could stop him.

Anyone who stops him now will fight to the death.

When he saw with his own eyes that Yu Ziqing cut out the demonic thoughts with one sword, and saw with his own eyes that Yu Ziqing swallowed a demon.

To put it bluntly, he doesn't feel embarrassed if he is called Yu Ziqing's father now.

Anyone who wants to harm Yu Ziqing must step over his body first.

Because Yu Ziqing is now the only hope for his father to survive.

It's not the slim hope that I had before that I didn't dare to let go and I didn't really have any hope.

But it’s the hope of truly seeing the results and grasping them in your hands.

It's been more than two thousand years.
