Song of Time – Dusk Awakening Verse

Chapter 63: .Illusive Reality

There is only a dark and deep purple in the eye.

In that dreamlike purple light, Xiao Mi, in an underskirt, floated in the air, wrapped in glittering divine light, her eyes closed tightly, and her face was white as a piece of paper. Countless vertical and horizontal rolling winds spread her short hair into fine lines, bulged up her dress, and finally brushed over the princes who were lying on the mottled bricks and knowing nothing about human affairs-this is where the apocalypse ceremony was held. The altar of the holy tower is also the most mysterious place in the country.

Several looming horror pictures are slowly circling around her. Upon closer inspection, those portraits are actually moving, just like some pictures taken from a projector: in one scene, countless towering trees rise from the ground, like The open hand covered the sky and the sun, and the ground cracked a bottomless chasm, destroying all those quaint and exquisite tiles and brick houses; the scene was a huge tide of magma rising from the coast, shooting towards the beach The crowds gathered like ants, all passing by are flames that bring death, no one is spared; one scene is the ruins of the city billowing with smoke, groups of metal puppet soldiers walking through the streets everywhere, crazy attacking all appearing in The humans in the field of vision stained the earth with blood; the last scene is the northern tundra piled with ice and snow. The sky-covering floating city is constantly trembling and falling, leaning rapidly toward the ground until it crashes, and the debris is piled into a gray-white hill.

Accompanied by the image, there were bursts of haunting chants, sobbing and whispering, even if they stood close, they couldn't hear them. At this moment, everyone was paying attention to the thrilling scenes of disasters, and they didn't care much about the almost inaudible sound-this was what Shun wanted to achieve, and he didn't want it to be. Let this prophetic poem be easily made public, so it was deliberately hidden. Besides, I'm still at a disadvantage at the moment, so I have to leave some behind.

No one spoke in the hall for a while, and even the sound of breathing was barely audible. Everyone stared at the four constantly changing images of disasters. They were dumbfounded, breathless, or frowning, each with different thoughts.

The Jade King was also caught off guard by this sudden vision. He kept twitching the corners of his eyes, looking fiercely at Miyou floating in the center of the phantom, his mind turned wildly: unexpectedly, such an abnormal change occurred in the ceremony of the year. , It's unprecedented...Huh! Just a few images, what can they say? It's just that... he looked at the rotating picture, his eyes were full of contempt, and he had a plan in his heart.

On the high platform, the emperor also looked at the dreamlike scene in front of the palace, and his thoughts were surging. The scene reappeared in this illusion evoked many complicated thoughts in his mind, and seeing his childhood daughter again after a lapse of eight years, suddenly made him feel like a world away.

When this apocalyptic picture suddenly appeared that year, he was also held in place by a tremendous coercion, unable to move at all. He tried to use his divine power, but the power that was flowing inside his body seemed to freeze at that moment. He could only watch his daughter as floating in the air, making a rough chant, but he could do nothing...

He sighed, thinking of the priest's explanation of this sudden vision after the apocalypse ceremony, why didn't he know that his daughter was innocent? But in order to avoid this doomsday prophecy being used by people with ulterior motives to cause panic among the people, he can only choose to keep this secret silently, and the poem of prophecy with difficult meaning...

The weird purple light on the hall made him gradually feel that his forehead was heavy, and even a slight tingling sensation came from his eyes. He could only sigh secretly, lower his head and close his eyes. Anyway...Although it is contrary to his original plan, since the son intends to reveal the truth of the apocalypse, it is not a bad idea, not to mention, so many years of estrangement, it is time to resolve...

After the purple illusion remained stable for nearly a minute, it returned to nothingness again, and there was a bright light of the rising sun in the Hall of Ye Zheng, no more strangeness. After Shun exhausted his power, he stood with his hands in the middle of the hall, looking at the group of imperial courtiers with different expressions across his eyebrows, and his heart fluctuated.

He finally exposed the boulder that had been in his heart for many years, but he didn't have any nervousness or panic he expected. Perhaps it was because he had waited for this moment for too long, so long that he had forgotten the mood he should have held. He knew what he was going to face. Once Miyou's identity was confirmed, the countless accusations and abuses would turn to him, but how could he fear these? Even if he succeeded in the identity of the heir, he would never allow his sister to suffer injustice again!

He condensed all the spirit in his body, closed his eyes slightly, raised his head proudly, and quietly waited for the coming storm.

However, the people on the opposite side were still in a silent predicament. Obviously they hadn't clarified their thoughts from the vision of the apocalypse. The Jade King consciously seized the flaw and stepped forward and asked: "I thought you had any evidence. , Actually wanting to use his divine power in this court...Huh! It's ridiculous, aren't these disaster scenes the iron proof of her evil girl? If it weren't for her, how could such an extinction of the world come from!? "

"Yes! Such a terrible disaster is simply sensational, unheard of, and unbearable..." Mr. Zuo followed him to express his support, his hands trembled, his words were incoherent, and his eyes were flushed, and he didn't know it was. To be scared or angry.

The people on the right immediately yelled at them, pointing straight that Miyou was going to ruin the world, causing lives to be burned, as if any further delay, the terrible disaster that occurred in the image would suddenly appear in the world. Shun had expected them to say this a long time ago, but he sneered and watched quietly what they had to say, intending to refute them all.

When the noise was being made, there was a loud drumbeat from the left. A burly veteran with a black face and short beard strode forward and unceremoniously rebuked the Jade King: "The prince said so eloquently. Your Royal Highness is a demon, isn't he afraid of insulting the Holy Spirit!?"

It was Master Ling Feng who was over sixty years old who spoke. He had never said a word because the emperor had given the opportunity to him earlier, but now the situation has changed. Even a veteran like him was shocked when he saw the mysterious scene, and saw that the prince remained silent, and finally couldn’t help it. He stood up and spoke: "The Apocalypse ceremony is guarded by the will of the supreme god. If His Royal Highness is really a demon, how can the gods allow her to be presumptuous!? What the prince said is really disrespectful!"

"This king is just a logical inference. Don't forget the old man. After the apocalypse, disasters have continued in the capital. Tracing back to the source... It must be the demon girl who displayed the signs of disasters in the ceremony. There are kinds of disasters that happen one after another... The fact is so clear, what else can Elder Ge say!?" The Jade King’s judgment caused all the people around him to ridicule maliciously, and the old general was so angry that he couldn’t speak. Blowing Hu staring dry and anxious.

The prince kept all these ridicules in his eyes, and he knew the truth in his heart. At this moment, his sleeves flicked and he said loudly: "What the prince said is absurd! These many disasters are manifested by the will of the Supreme God, and Miyou itself. It doesn't matter!"

This sudden announcement instantly wiped out the laughter of everyone in the hall. The Jade King looked at the young man standing in the middle of the hall with his head upright, and subconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth, and immediately furious: "Bold! Even if you are the prince, Don't be so nonsense and insulting to the Holy Spirit! It's so presumptuous!"

He was so angry that his hands trembled, and pointed at Shun, he shouted at the emperor: "Good son you taught! This king wants to accuse him of blasphemy against the holy god, and ask all the great elders of the holy tower to hold a judgment! Too presumptuous... "

He was excited to punish the prince's disrespect, but the emperor didn't have any waves in his heart, not to mention that he already knew the truth, and just said that he wanted to hold a divine judgment. If he didn't nod himself as the pope, who would dare to participate? He glanced at the Yu Guanggang who was left in the eye, and before he spoke, he heard a sneer from the prince: "Gu said that there is a reason for loneliness. Why should the prince be so anxious to treat loneliness? The crime?"

Shun glanced at his father on the high platform, and looked around at the courtiers who were excited in the palace, and snorted coldly: "You are all self-righteous and bloody, but only lonely stood on that platform that day. I saw...God Pro!"

God is coming! ? The officials in the temple were stunned by these two words, God is coming? This can be regarded as a legend, is it really true? Everyone looked at each other and showed hesitation, but the Jade King didn't believe what he said at all, dismissing it and said: "Absurd! God is illusory, what can you tell?"

"I saw the golden divine light shoot out from the dome of the gods with my own eyes, and entered Miyou's body, and then the scene of disaster appeared. Isn't it certain that this way!?" The prince replied loudly. He remembered what happened on the altar that day. At this time, there are still lingering fears.

The golden color that suddenly appeared in the white light that created the world made him almost mistakenly thought that his eyes were dazzled, but the great power that followed immediately crushed him, and he could not even move a hair. Then Miyou soared into the sky... He was shocked and terrified at the time, and there was such a trace of loss that cannot be found... He thought that God had chosen Miyou.

The emperor on the high platform heard his seemingly desperate explanation, thinking that there has been little communication between father and son in these years, and could not explain clearly to him, he couldn't help but sighed and shook his head slightly, feeling pity in his heart, even more. Regret. However, it was also a good opportunity for reconciliation at this moment. He immediately stretched out his hand and lightly flicked on the guardrail to make a crisp sound of gold and stone, attracting everyone's eyes, and then he spoke slowly to prove it: "This matter, I I also found out that there was indeed a golden light flashing that day. Everyone knows that I usually like yin, but I am more sensitive to light, and there will be no deviation."

Everyone was frightened by the name of God, and listened to his father and son speaking brightly and frankly. For a while, they could not find anything to refute, so they could only remain silent.

The Jade King also participated in the Apocalypse. Although he had never seen the vision that Shun said, he could not be said to be false. As the elder of the gods, he did not dare to comment on matters involving the gods. The lord Zuo step beside him lost his eyes.

The leader understood his mind and hummed several times and asked, "What I saw just now is nothing more than an illusion. All the princes who were present at the time were fainted by you. Now who knows if it is true or not!?"

Someone in the crowd began to agree again. Shun looked coldly at the triumphant clown, his anger was tumbling like a raging wave, but he just endured without saying a word, and turned his gaze to his father who had just spoken to defend his father. The emperor received his son’s urgent urging, squinted his eyes for a moment, and just thought of explaining, he heard a very soft answer outside the door: "I can prove this matter..."

Everyone followed the sound in amazement. Outside the gate of the chapel with layers of sunlight, the purple-haired priest dressed in a grand and gorgeous purple satin robe, holding a golden phoenix scepter representing the highest authority of the gods, surrounded by white light. In front of the door, it is shaped like a sword, its face is like water, and its air is as deep as an abyss.

"Meet Mianxia..." The people present hurriedly bent over to see the salute. They were surprised. They did not expect that Mianxia would come to discuss the government. For hundreds of years, the priests have always paid no attention to the government, let alone come to participate. North Korea has a discussion. Right now, some people are worried, and some people are more sure that there must be insiders, and they are even more angry.

"No ceremony..." The priest flatly raised his hand, took the opportunity to squint at the emperor, and after receiving an involuntary apologetic look, he turned to the Jade King indifferently and said: "There is indeed a **** coming at the time of the apocalypse. All the princes also fainted because of the deterrence of the gods, except for the prince..."

At this point, he glanced at Shun, but then took it back in an instant, admiring his actions today, and somewhat guilty. Since Miyou accidentally lost his memory in those days, he has always been ashamed as a protector. He was always reluctant to meet after hiding from the prince, but he did not expect that the other party would have such courage to disclose the apocalypse ceremony today in order to wash away the blame for Miyou. , Although a bit reckless, but still innocent.

No one dared to refute such a testimony from the high priest, but only a few words of promise. Seeing that the teacher was there to help the emperor in person, the Jade King felt even more frustrated. He took a few breaths and then shouted: "Why is she not the heir, Mian Should I choose Shun?"

The Jade King suspected that this question had exceeded the rules, but he also asked Shun's confusion for many years. At the moment, his heart jumped violently, and he stared at the priest with anxiety.

Yunxuan naturally has a definite reason. Although the apocalyptic ceremony ostensibly claimed that the heir was selected by the gods, it actually used the power of the domain set in the altar as a test to select the strongest among the contemporary royal blood. . In the last apocalypse, before the vision occurred, on the slowly rotating high platform formation, only Shun could stand upright to resist the pressure of the divine power, and the result was self-evident.

However, this matter is a royal secret, and only a few royals can know about it. Of course, it cannot be announced to the public at this moment. However, Yun Xuan has already thought of another way of saying: "That day was indeed a miraculous awakening of God... It was not because of her own strength, but the will of the Supreme God to inform the world of this disaster prediction through her mouth. This time the Apocalypse is extraordinary, and it is not possible to use regular speeches. Among all the princes present, only Shun is alone on stage. Not in a coma, I thought... The Supreme God chose Shun as the person who received the prophecy and revelation, so that he could keep him awake, and he was the true candidate."

When Shun heard the priest's explanation, his whole body trembled a little, and an unstoppable melancholy appeared in his heart. The God’s presence that I witnessed that day brought a devastating shock to the young and arrogant him, and it has been a knot hidden deep in his heart, and only then did he finally understand the root cause: he really is Heir, there is no tricky thing, and it was not taken from his sister... He had mixed feelings for a time, thinking of countless self-blame over the long time, and the unstoppable entanglement between dreams and awakenings, it all melted now. He made a faint sigh and dissipated in his heart.

Although the priest's words were justified and well-founded, the Jade King still reluctantly asked: "After that day, how do you explain the many disasters that have occurred in the capital?"

The emperor saw that he was speechless in front of the teacher several times, and was full of dissatisfaction. He finally frowned and said: "I have sent someone to investigate, and it has long been determined that it is some kind of powerful divine power. Miyou was under house arrest. They don’t have a strong divine response, and there must be someone else who is the culprit, so there’s no need to talk about this."

Elder Ling Fengge also echoed: "The old man can testify. It was the old man who led the investigation. The Ministry of War Archives and the results of the investigation at that time. If you don’t believe it, the old man can order someone to bring you to the palace. One view."

The people on the right looked at each other for a while, but no one dared to say anything. The Jade King saw that the good situation was about to be devastated because of the priest’s accidental appearance. He yelled angrily: "You say good things, and you say bad things! Do you play as a monkey? No matter how you quibble, this king will never give up today!"

Shun looked at his almost rascal look coldly, with a clear heart in his heart, and asked in a loud voice, "What do you want?"

The Jade King stared at him closely, with a cold tone, and it seemed that there was a certain malicious in it: "Last time the Apocalypse was disrupted because of the quiet thing, all the princes fainted, which cannot be regarded as an official result! This king requested the reopening of the Apocalypse, Otherwise, the imperial family is unfair! It will never be convincing!"

This was supported by many emperors, who followed up with a few quarrels. After all, everyone felt that if the Apocalypse was repeated again, maybe their children would have a chance to stand till the end?

"Absurd! The apocalypse ceremony is the foundation of my Tara country heritage. How can it be treated as a child's play?" The emperor whispered and was about to deny it. Suddenly he saw a glance, frowning and looking up at the prince's pair. The gloomy dark pupils still have confidence in them, and they look at him without blinking, as if they have made up their minds. The emperor was startled slightly, and immediately guessed what his son was thinking.

He held on to the railing by the high platform, seeing the commotion under the stands again, did not continue to speak, but there was no more words, and he pointed the vermilion wooden fence with his fingertips, thinking about the pros and cons of his son's decision. Place. Next to him was the colonel who had stood like a cast image all morning, still pursing his mouth, holding the handle of the knife, his face was as cold as ice, and he completely ignored the noise.

"...I have no objection!" After Shun was silent for a while, he really interrupted the noise in the hall with a loud shout. He glanced at his frowning and silent father on the high platform, and then looked directly at the Jade King and asked, "Just However, there is one condition..."

"What conditions?"

"Since the truth is revealed, should Miyou's accusation be cleared?"

"As long as you agree, this king can no longer pursue the matter of Miyou..." As long as the Jade King has achieved the final goal, it doesn't matter to him whether Miyou is guilty or not, he immediately agreed.

"A word is settled! Then please return Miyou to me first..."

"Miyou is no longer in my house, and this king doesn't know where she has gone..." At this moment, the Jade King's purpose is finally achieved, and he has no worries, and slaps himself in the face carelessly.

What a shameless guy... Shun was so angry that he thought of his bluffing just now, but since his sister was no longer in the other's hands, he was somewhat relieved, and immediately turned his gaze to his father, with a bit of force. The pleading, a bit stubborn persistence.

The son had already agreed, and looked at himself as if asking for help. What could the emperor say? He could only breathe out a sigh of relief, low his voice, and preached slowly: "Since the heir voluntarily proposed, I am scheduled to hold the apocalypse again at the spring festival next year. All participants can come and watch today."

As soon as the words came out, the dust finally settled, and the emperors had no objections anymore and closed their mouths one after another, thinking about how to plan for a new apocalypse.

When Shun heard that his father finally agreed, the resentment in his chest also diminished a lot. The relationship between the two seemed to have taken a turn for the better. He once again looked around the group of mediocre and incompetent relatives in the field, and his pride was suddenly alive.

"Lonely destined to inherit the sky, anyone who dares to refuse, do it!" The prince left this almost arrogant declaration, flicked his cloak, and strode out of the palace. Facing the warm golden light, he jumped in his heart, without any hesitation. He just wanted to find his sister right now and tell her that she never had to hide in the bookstore anymore and that no one would dare to hurt her again.

In the hall, the royal family members began to discuss the meaning of the disaster scenes just now. Some people said that it was a subtle warning, some people said it was a sign of the end of the day, and some people called it absurd. Foreshadowing, constant disputes.

The emperor was troubled by their quarrels. After ordering no one to disclose what happened today, he turned around and sat back on the throne. Looking forward, the priest had long impatiently turned into white light and left this troubled place.

Under the high platform, the Jade King stood looking at the arguing idiots with his hand held hands, but he didn't care about it for a long time, and just wanted to reopen the apocalypse. As a royal family that has passed on for thousands of years, he naturally faintly understands that the apocalypse ceremony is actually a competition of power. Now that he has finally gotten this opportunity, how should he grasp it? In all fairness, my own son who is negligent in cultivation is by no means an opponent of Shun, who is extremely talented. Probably... I can only rely on that guy. No matter what method he uses, he must smoothly promote his son to the position of God!

He glanced at Yuming, who stood at the end of the team and has not recovered from the catastrophe scene so far, and then glanced at the gloomy eyes on the high platform, intersecting with the emperor’s probing gaze, with the same implied vigilance. The same light is compelling, but each has different profound meanings.

At the top of the holy tower, in the middle of the purple bamboo forest swaying by the breeze, Jie Hai is still sitting cross-legged on the cultivation stone platform, following the substitute teacher, Elder Ning, to continue to fight against the majestic black power in his body.

Mr. Ning’s teaching method is completely different from the perfunctory Yun Xuan. Any subtle difference in the operation of divine power will be keenly captured by him. Not only will he explain it in detail, but he will also demonstrate it several times in person. It can be called a professor. Role model. Under such meticulous teachings, Jie Hai has gradually found the way to control this power. In the next instant, without knowing whether it was a big luck, he actually succeeded in undertaking the invasion of the boundless black tide and completed it. Preliminary circuit construction of divine power in the body.

"It's great!" Ning looked at the black haze that gradually stabilized on Junior Brother, and was even more surprised than himself. "You have finally stepped into the threshold of cultivation, and as long as you consolidate it, you will be able to go smoothly. Become a repairer."

The threshold for spiritual practice? Repairer? Jie Hai was taken aback when he heard it, and only felt inexplicable. Didn't he keep learning how to suppress that evil god? What does it have to do with the cultivator?

He was puzzled at once, and Ning smiled and said to him: "Now you can finally ask the teacher to accept you as a disciple. In the future, we can be equal to our brothers and we don't need to be so different."

Fellow? we? Jie Hai was holding his forehead in a daze, the white light flashed in the bamboo forest, and the high priest who had escaped from the court dispute returned to the top of the tower. He brushed his sleeves as he was about to go to the house to change into a normal suit. He glanced at the embarrassing scene on the training platform in a blink of an eye, and suddenly felt a cold behind him.

What happened? He looked at the two people standing on the stone platform, and he clearly felt that something beyond his expectation was happening. He just wanted to pretend that he didn't know how to walk quickly, but he didn't want to be caught by Jie Hai.

Because of the two unintentional words of Elder Ning, the young man was puzzled and was trying to find him to answer. That allowed him to slip away and hurriedly called: "Sir...you don't want to explain..."
