Evolved From Polluting the World

What the **** is the top of the furnace supposed to look like?

Alcott is full of expectations for this question, and she really wants to know how to live up to the sense of gain after a lot of hardships and hardships.

Just because she was looking forward to it, she didn't ask Qiao Xun and chose to keep her "nervous expectation".

After stepping on the gentle and spacious final steps, there was a lot less talk between Alcott and Qiao Xun.

It's not that I have already said what I should say. After all, Alcott still has a lot of interesting things he wants to share with Qiao Xun. It's just that even she, at the last moment before the public attention, wants to appear more like an "adult".

Although this idea is naive, it is indeed what she is thinking at the moment.

You can't really be like a child and keep asking around Mr. Qiao.

Also, she also wanted to take care of her whole life in the last quiet time. Every time I look back on my life, there will be new harvests, which is a very happy thing for her.

It was also in this happy aftertaste of life that she became more and more determined that she had no destination.

Therefore, many things that seem to be just right have actually experienced the process of "good luck".

Their footsteps were on the steps, and there was no sound.

It is quiet here, no wind, no clouds, no light and no darkness, and only thoughts are confirmed on the way to the top of the furnace.

Finally, at a certain moment, Qiao Xun suddenly stopped. He says:

"Alcott, it's coming."

The feeling of nervousness and anticipation at first disappeared all of a sudden. Alcott didn't know why, but with a feeling of "of course it should be like this", he smiled and said:

"Well, here we are."

Qiao Xun took a step and crossed what felt like a threshold.

Alcott followed him.

The moment she crossed the "threshold", she vaguely heard Qiao Xun sigh slightly. This sigh, in her feelings, there is a sense of relief "as expected".

she asked,

"Mr. Joe, what's the matter?"

Qiao Xun didn't speak, just took another step forward.

Then, two non-parallel corridors appeared in front of them.

Apart from the promenade, there is nothing around.

"This is?" Alcott asked curiously.

Joe Tour said,

"Alcott, we still haven't seen the original crucible top."

"The original crucible top?"

"Well, the origin of the furnace itself. Although I haven't seen it before, I think it should be full of prehistoric and unique aura."

"But why?"

Qiao Xun's eyes did not waver, and the two corridors were reflected in his eyes.

"Because, someone has already arranged it here. It is specially arranged for us."

"Who?"

Joe Tour said,

"It is the existence that gave Sasuri a home, the 'Tower'."

"Tower?" Alcott was stunned. "That tower on Earth!"

"Yes, Alcott. The tower will appear on Earth to better place the top of the furnace."

"Ta, what are you doing?"

Qiao Xun smiled slightly,

"Just ask the tower."

After speaking, he took a few steps forward.

Alcott stopped him hastily,

"Mr. Joe, are we going in?"

"Well, Alcott. Pick any one."

"Can't we be together?"

Qiao Xun shook his head,

"You are you, I am me."

This kind of demarcation is, in most situations, distressing. But here, Alcott was very clear. It is precisely to distinguish "you are you and I am me" in order to better understand and remember each other. Because existence is essence.

Alcott took a deep breath.

"Okay. Then I'll choose the right side. Male on the left and female on the right."

Qiao Xun smiled,

"Alcott, as expected of you."

Alcott smiled,

"Then, Mr. Qiao, I'll go in!"

"Well, let's go."

Alcott didn't hesitate at all, took a step, and stepped into the corridor.

As soon as she walked in, the corridor began to twist and spin, getting faster and faster, until it condensed into a light spot and disappeared completely.

Qiao Xun looked at the rest of the corridor, his eyes flickering with some semblance of light. He didn't rush in, but said to the corridor:

"you succeeded."

At the end of the promenade, a dimly lit inverted triangle slowly emerged.

The inverted triangle seemed to have a pair of eyes, watching Qiao Xun quietly. After a while, the will of the tower, imprinted in Qiao Xun's feelings,

"No, I'm just waiting for you here."

"The moment the forge of origin is recast, you succeed. Because no matter what, someone will rush to the stage you set up. As long as someone comes to witness everything, you will succeed."

Tayin now,

"You are truly fascinating. From the moment I met you, your charm made me feel like dust."

"Don't flatter me." Qiao Xun said flatly, "I'm nothing special."

Tayin now,

"Remember that secret between us?"

The secret...the secret between the tower. Qiao Xun thought about it, the only secret left between the towers is the so-called talent matching degree of 100.

He says,

"Remember."

"It's good. I have established the so-called Alliance of Ability Persons in many worlds, just like on Earth. There is also a so-called talent fit index, which is the index I use to select attendants. I have seen 98 I have seen the 'destruction' of 97, the 'empty' of 97, the 'lost' of 99. I have also seen you of 100."

"So, what's the point of saying these words? What reason do you base your so-called 98 and 97 on?" Qiao Xun looked at the tower.

Tayin now,

"The easier it is to be accepted by the furnace, the higher the score. Qiao Xun, you are the most suitable one."

"You want me to be your squire?"

"I can tell you that when I first discovered you, I did think so. Until you took the initiative to leave the tower. At that moment, I realized that a person with a fitness level of 100 would not be my attendant anyway. After all, I only have 100." The tower's speech is very regular, and the tone, tone, etc. imprinted in people's minds are all perfect and just right, and no one is very inconsistent or missing.

Joe Tour said,

"These words don't make any sense. I don't think you and I should say such slobber when we meet each other."

Tayin now,

"Yes, you're right. But you're also not right. My words are not meaningless. That's what I really want to tell you. After all, there are more or less protagonists who will appear before the final curtain rises. It's going to be tense. Maybe a proper chat can ease that tension."

"Are you nervous?"

"What do you think of me?"

Joe Tour said,

"No opinion."

"correct answer."

This is a very simple, even shallow question. What is the existence of the tower? In the finite world, there are as many types of towers as there are people who know about the tower. The biggest characteristic of the tower is "no characteristic". Therefore, anyone who has an conceivable view of the tower will only be dust in the dim light of the tower.

Tayin now,

"It's a real shame that I haven't been able to figure out who you are, even at this moment."

"You want to know?"

"I want to know." Tower was very sincere.

Joe Tour said,

"I'm Qiao Xun."

Very simple answer, simple but as if it was a joke.

Tower was lost in thought. The tower is just an inverted triangle emitting a dim light, but it has eyes that make people feel being watched. Tower watched Qiao Xun,

"You're the only one who would say that."

The corners of Qiao Xun's mouth raised,

"Otherwise, what do you think I should be?"

Tayin now,

"I have no way of knowing. I'm at the top of the furnace, waiting for you."

After speaking, the tower disappeared at the end of the promenade.

Qiao Xun didn't stop there, didn't think about anything, just stepped forward and stepped into the corridor prepared for him by the tower.

In the corridor, he walked forward unhurriedly, without any special feeling, just walking normally. However, it could be seen from the outside that the corridor he stepped on was twisted into a spot of light, flickering and disappearing.

Only emptiness remained.

That is, in this emptiness, after an unknown amount of time, another person came.

Her name is Lu Xianyi, she comes from the earth world, inherits the blood of Tianwu, and also accepts the last "wish" from the will of the immortal world.

Her slender and thin figure looked very thin in this emptiness.

A low breath surrounded her. Head down slightly.

After a while, she raised her head and looked forward. Following her gaze, a long corridor was slowly paved.

Looking at the promenade, her eyes gradually became distant and deep.

She didn't know what she was thinking, or didn't think anything at all, just at this moment, she let go of all her feelings and became a short-term blank person.

After this moment of blankness, she came back to her senses, spread out the palm of her right hand, and a blue jade ring lay quietly.

This jade ring originally belonged to a person named Lu Yixuan.

However, that person could not come here.

Lu Xianyi closed her eyes, and the picture of being given the blue jade ring appeared in her mind:

Lu Yixuan's body was covered with cracks, like a broken porcelain doll reappeared and stuck together. She laughed, the corners of her mouth were completely split, and a part fell off,

"I have nothing left for you. I'll give you this."

The blue jade ring is her gift.

"This thing is actually not a great thing. I bought it at a roadside stall when I was a mortal. It was very cheap, only a hundred pennies ago. The vendor tried his best to tell me that this is the real blue jade. , buying it is a bargain. Of course I won't be fooled, but I bought it anyway. Because it's really good-looking." Lu Yixuan said, shattering, "I think it will definitely look better if you wear it. Give it to you."

Lu Xianyi took it. It is indeed just a jade ring made of ordinary stone, dipped in blue dye. However, the fact that this stone can still maintain its luster after billions of years must be well cherished.

Before leaving, Lu Yixuan said something irrelevant. Other than that, she didn't say anything.

She simply gave Lu Xianyi a gift and said goodbye. It's like... not a goodbye, but a daily routine like "good night, see you tomorrow".

In the end, Lu Xianyi couldn't say a word to her.

At this moment, standing in front of the long corridor, she put the blue jade ring on her right wrist and said:

"I'm not walking forward alone, and you."

After speaking, she stepped into the corridor.

In fact, Lu Xianyi didn't really know how she got here. She just thought, keep going... If you have the strength, don't stop, just keep going... Even if you fall before the end, just keep going... She doesn't even know why she is working hard, why is it persist in.

It's like a walking dead, but it's not.

If she asked her why, she couldn't say it at all, she would only look at the person who asked her and answer with her eyes:

"I'm Lu Xianyi."

...

Cassiopeia stood in front of the promenade, quietly looking into the depths.

There is no end to the promenade, and in any case, you can't see what's inside.

Cassiopeia also understands that you need to step in to know.

However, she had been "insisting on herself" for so long, but when she was about to step into it, she hesitated, hesitated, nervous, and scared.

What's in there?

Since becoming a star, she, who has been searching for the answer to "what should I do" all her life, is lost at this moment.

Is this what I should do?

she does not know. At this time, no one came to answer her questions.

There is only her here, and the corridor that belongs only to her.

She stared blankly at the corridor, unable to step into it for a long time.

Obviously, you only need to step forward, walk in, and everything will be over... Obviously this is the easiest thing in a difficult journey, but sitting up is as difficult as going to the sky.

In her eyes, the corridor was not reflected, but a dark starry sky.

That's what she saw when she looked back at the end before touching the furnace.

The stars, fallen, no longer shine.

She is the only one left.

She began to wonder if the moment Qunxing sacrificed everything to become herself, was it really worth it?

"Am I really qualified to stand here?"

Self-doubt is like a bottomless abyss that scares her.

Also, please be sure to witness everything... In her mind, the last words Wang Liangyi and Emperor Zhenwu said to her before they went to the starry sky resounded.

"Also please be sure to witness everything... Also please be sure to witness everything..."

The sentence repeated. It seems that at this moment, she no longer lives for herself, but for this sentence.

Cassiopeia's eyes gradually lost their radiance and were completely occupied by the starry sky.

It was a starry sky. This seems to declare that she is no longer just Cassiopeia, but a collection of stars. It is the collection of all the stars that went to the starry sky, shining light, but finally darkened, and it is the answer to their pursuit of "the meaning of existence".

She took a deep breath and said:

"We will witness everything together."

After speaking, she stepped forward and stepped into the corridor.
