The old man asked this, but no one answered. People did not even have the impression of beasts in their minds, they had not even heard of the word, and they could not understand its meaning at all.

"I don't know, what is a beast?"

Just when the old man lamented and was about to continue speaking, the child beside Xia Yi raised his hand, which made the old man smile instantly.

"Beasts are beings that once lived in this world like us. Some of them are weaker than us and can do nothing but escape. Some are stronger than us. Their bodies alone are several times ours. They have fangs and Claws, they have speed that is far beyond our reach. If we are caught or bitten, even if we are seen by them, we will die. "

"We are far inferior to these beasts that live with us in this world, and they should be the overlords. But our ancestors just looked at something, thought about why there were those things, and reached out to them, everything turned out for them. change.”

"Everyone, take a closer look at the murals left by your ancestors on the surrounding rock walls. Do you know what they mean?"

After the old man said this, even Xia Yi looked at the surrounding rock walls. He didn't pay attention at first. The mural on the rock wall was a scene of people pointing their fingers to the sky. On the other side of the sky were rules or regulations. There were many small dots in disorder, and Xia Yi recognized what they were. They were the star map where the new Taoism was located.

Perhaps in the first few years after the great migration of the human race, the people of the old Taoism were not desperate. They were unwilling to give up their hometown, and stubbornly stayed in the stars that raised the human race, hoping that one day they could rise again, and even be better than Xia Xia in history. Yi imagined that he was even more helpless.

Those who left were forced to flee their hometown. In order for the human race to continue to take root abroad, the vast majority of the strong men of the human race stayed in the old way and never abandoned it. They fought against the Xiantian clan and the evil spirits until the sky collapsed, the earth cracked, the sea was dry, and the rocks were rotten. Just thinking about it... Everything that the old Taoist saw, the corpses of the innate clan and the remnants of the human race, Xia Yi's ears rang with the cry of killing from ancient times.

We never stop, no matter how deep the night is, the flames of panic in our hearts never go out, touching the sky and wishing the glory of the human race to last forever.

After years and decades, many people are once again using their wisdom to think about why their ancestors left these things behind. They live underground and have never even seen the dark sky, but they follow the murals and completely Subconsciously, he stretched out his hand towards the rock wall above his head.

"Beyond the dark sky that never fades away, there is another thing that never fades away. It is the dream of our ancestors for generations, where the starry sky lies. We may eventually be unable to escape and be completely annihilated here. Our destiny ends here. What we have to say about the starry sky. It’s not worth mentioning in terms of the real world, but at least we have pursued the real world.”

"Our ancestors were willing to burn their bodies to shine in the sky, not so that we, the future generations, would hide in this small cave and not know the taste of life and death. We are afraid of death, but we should be more afraid of our own death as human beings. Why are we born? As human beings, just because we are destined to touch..."

Halfway through the words, the old man clenched the photo crystal on his chest. The boundless and fascinating endless starry sky appeared in front of everyone through projection. The stars were dotted on the dark curtain like eternal sand. Every faint bright spot was A larger unknown world.

The stars shine, and the immortal light alternates between birth and death. This is a never-ending scene, and it is also the greatest destination of the human heart.

"This sky!"

The old man then talked a lot about the shining stars, beautiful planets, distant galaxies and the history that our ancestors really touched.

An ant that never knew what it meant, whether it would live or die tomorrow, went from eating the blood of all beasts to becoming the spirit of all things, all because people always think deeply about the stars in the sky at night, and all kinds of myths, all kinds of expectations, and all kinds of beautiful words have all come true.

Although the starry sky is not as kind as people imagine, there are always people heading towards the starry sky. When their hearts can hold the starry sky, people finally understand where they should go, walking through mountains and deserts, crossing rivers and rivers, in forests, in snow On the ground, in the desert, in the valley, in the cave under the dark sky, as long as people see the starry sky, they will remember why they are born.

To touch the sky.

In the underground settlement, the old man finished telling everything he knew. The elder in the settlement opened his mouth slightly and looked at the others with a particularly complicated mood. Those people with empty eyes shed tears and forgot. Forget the past, what are you wasting these years for?

It turns out that they have such a glorious history. It turns out that they should not have been born waiting to die in this cave. People could have accepted the darkness. If they had never seen the light, they could have lingered in the cold. If they had never felt it, to warmth.

You can die unnoticed, if you have never seen the stars.

"Can't...continue like this."

The man who hadn't spoken in decades was reluctant to speak again.

"I'm alive!"

The man with empty eyes clenched his fists, and starlight reflected from the depths of his pupils.

"Return to the stars! We must return to the stars!!"

The old man, who had lived in the settlement all his life and had never left the cave, beat his chest and couldn't help but let out a hoarse cry.

"outside world……"

Deep in the souls of the children, the flames of panic rooted in the hearts of the human race were ignited and will not be extinguished until death. There is a fire in people's hearts. If they are buried deep in the cave, if they can only die like this in this life, Then they would rather embrace death immediately.

"Everyone, here is a good news for you. I traveled to various settlements. Although some people refused, some insulted me, and some only cared about their own lives. Many settlements with good conditions were unwilling to take risks, and many settlements on the verge of extinction robbed me of what was left of me. Some food, but there are also more settlements willing to give out ancient relics, and let’s build a starry sky boat together!”

"For this, we need everyone's sun..."

The old man pointed to the golden tripod at the top of the cave. This is the only intact ancient relic in each settlement, and it is also the most precious material and energy source. However, taking away the golden tripod means that the settlement will disappear.

Should we cling to our last breath before the brilliance is exhausted, or should we use our brilliance now to prove the stars again?

The people in this settlement thought for a while, and some raised their hands.

"Return to the Starry Sky."

"Prove me the way of the human race."

"This life is also about death. I want to really live for once."

More and more people stretched out their hands, and many people hesitated and looked at the children who had not yet grown up, but the children were almost the fastest in raising their hands. They did not want to become useless people who gave up even thinking. They can endure hunger, they can endure cold, and they can even be willing to fall on the road. At least they have a goal to live for, but they can never endure not being able to see the real starry sky.

Lost the golden tripod.

They die.

Lose the stars.

The human race dies.

"Thank you all! There are still thirteen settlements that I have not been to. When I pass through all the settlements, I will find a way to inform you. Please remember that starry sky, we will eventually arrive again."

The old man bowed excitedly. This was a settlement with a good attitude and a settlement that was willing to give it a try. The elder in this settlement closed his eyes and sighed quietly, but he was also more inclined to choose real life, which he had never tasted since he was sensible. The taste of dreams, but at the end of this dying year, I realize the meaning of life.

In the endless night, in the final world, we set out again.

Xia Yi watched this scene among the crowd. He wanted to show his great power now and open the dark sky for the people of the human race, but maybe it was not the time yet. He would see the end and watch these people regain their strength. What will be the final fate of the glorious mortals of the human race?

Because this may also be the ultimate fate of the human race.

A few hours later.

Outside the settlement, the children bid farewell to Xia Yi and the old man with tears. The young adults in the settlement held decayed weapons and were willing to head towards the dangerous ancient relics in the surrounding area, trying to find ancient relics that would be helpful in building a starship in the future.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yi realized that what the old man was walking was not a tragic path of letting people experience the last beauty in despair and then dying, but a path of redemption that allowed people to know despair and then choose hope.

Walking into the wilderness again, the dark sky enveloped the earth. The old man hung a small lamp around his waist and walked in the wind and sand. Xia Yi accompanied him and listened to him talk about the human race and the starry sky in his eyes.

"Xia Yi, can I really reach all the settlements in my lifetime and see the real starry sky alive?"

On the way, the old man began to worry about this. He began to fear death, because he had a reason to live. He knew that with Xia Yi accompanying him, the journey should be able to be completed. What he was afraid of was the final failure.

"If you don't do it, you will never see the stars, but if you do it, the stars will definitely respond to you."

"I hope so. The senior who gave me the Dream Stone also visited other settlements throughout his life. I succeeded him. If something happens to me, I hope you can succeed me. I don't know how many predecessors like me have fallen. On the road, I don’t know if people before me have tried it. If they can’t resist the long night, they accept it and seek the final rest. I just don’t want to do this.”

The old man looked at the dark road ahead. The wind and sand across his face took away the warmth from his body, but could not bury the fire in his heart. The more this happened, the more he had to move forward. The darker the darkness, the more he had to chase the light. It would be fine if he had never touched the sky. The human race can consider itself a humble ant, accept its fate as a miserable reality, and leave behind a sad yet beautiful legend.

But once you touch it, you will not change it until death, even if you are broken into pieces.

"Don't you want to go into that good night gently..."

Xia Yi didn't know why, but this sentence came out of his heart, and he naturally said it in his mouth. This should be a sentence he heard somewhere in Xuanhuang. It was always accompanied by thoughts about life and death. Her mother I like this passage, so I never give up even when I am tortured by illness, and I will never accept my fate until the end, even if I am greeted by a sleep that I cannot escape.

"Xia Yi, what do you mean by this?"

"I heard what others said, and I just expressed my feelings. What do you think?"

The old man asked Xia Yi why he said this. Xia Yi smiled and didn't answer. The old man paused for a moment before moving forward harder.

"Rage against the fading light, roar at dusk."

The old man said so.

According to the old man, the settlement that I encountered before was very friendly. Unlike some settlements, they simply claimed to be underground and completely isolated from the world.

Such settlements are generally full of aggression and hostility towards outsiders, and are inaccessible to hunters. The residents of these settlements may have mutated in the long darkness, refusing to communicate or go out. Sooner or later that little stuff will be used up.

According to some hunters, the residents in this kind of settlement have lost the ability to think and have turned into humanoid beasts. They can even eat people. Even the old man himself has never explored that kind of settlement.

What a coincidence. After bidding farewell to the previous settlement, the next settlement I found after spending two months was this kind of settlement.

Xia Yi and the old man stood at the entrance of the cave blocked by rocks. The old man was wondering whether to go in. If he was alone, he would not dare to take the risk, but if Xia Yi protected him, maybe people in this settlement could also get it. Redemption from the stars.

"Are you sure you want to go in? The scene inside may give you nightmares. Even if we go in, we may not be able to do anything, and we may even kill people to protect ourselves."

The old man looked at Xia Yi seriously. In fact, he was the one who was unwilling to give up. This kind of settlement was too dangerous. Even if he returned to his youngest and most vigorous age, he would not dare to enter alone. This was his first time. Entering this kind of settlement, he was holding a lantern in his left hand and a dirty dagger in his right hand. It was obvious that he was nervous.

"Come on, people don't become like that because they want to. It's also a good thing for someone to regain their consciousness."

Xia Yi has seen too many cruel scenes, and many of them were even done by himself. Xia Yi has not only experienced hundreds of battles, but also experienced years of precipitation. As a god, there are very few things that can surprise Xia Yi. .

"Then...enter!"

The old man nodded. Xia Yi stepped forward and clenched his fist. He punched away the rocks blocking the entrance of the cave. A loud noise spread along with a slight vibration in the ground. The completely dark entrance of the cave made the old man frown.

"It seems that the golden cauldron has been extinguished."

This is undoubtedly very tragic news. The settlement without Jinding cannot last long, and there may be no living people inside. However, as a gust of cold wind blows out from inside the cave, a moist rotten smell makes the old man cling tightly. Covered his mouth and nose.

"It doesn't taste like mushrooms..."

The old man's expression was very disappointed. He had roughly guessed what happened to this settlement. This settlement had been destroyed, but even so, he still walked inside with a small lamp. Xia Yi walked behind him, walking After some distance, they finally came to a relatively empty space, and the only thing that greeted them was several sets of dead bones on the ground.

The old man walked slowly inside with a heavy heart. There was no life here and there were many corpses. Until the old man and Xia Yi found a corpse with putrid flesh and blood. The owner of this corpse should not have been dead for too long. Upon this discovery, a strange rustling sound suddenly came from deeper inside.

The old man followed the sound and shined his lantern on the road ahead. He was a man with no clothes on, and was extremely thin with only a skeleton left. He didn't seem to be very old. He was no more than thirty years old at most. His eyes were already empty. Neither, but pure appetite.

He opened his mouth slightly, revealing a pair of badly worn teeth.

"Is there... no hope of saving?"

The old man sighed, and actually took the initiative to move forward. The man immediately pounced on the old man. Xia Yi was not even prepared to save him, because the old man had already grasped the dagger tightly. The old man could visit so many settlements, and he was not an ordinary person, even if he was old and weak. , if you hold a weapon, you can still deal with some threats.

Only a puff was heard, and the old man did not hide or dodge. He let the man pounce on him and fell into his arms. He had accurately sent the dagger into the man's chest. The man let out a weird roar, and the old man just hugged him slightly. He slapped his back with his hand.

"I'm sorry, but it's the only thing I can do for you."

The man did not struggle for too long, and his body soon collapsed and died. The fresh smell of blood caused more strange noises to be heard in the cave. The old man grabbed the image crystal on his chest with his hand, and he projected the starry sky. The starry sky reflected in the darkness was extremely beautiful, but no one except him and Xia Yi appreciated it.

The intelligence of these people may be restored, but it will take years and decades of re-education. Unfortunately, he does not have this condition. Xia Yi could choose to save these people, but Xia Yi did not interfere with the old man's choice. .

"Look, everyone, this is our starry sky. Every point of light is a larger world, far beyond our imagination. It is an immortal star, and there are beautiful planets around the star..."

The old man still introduced himself, but the people who were accustomed to darkness did not say anything. They had already forgotten the stars and even human dignity. They were just beasts with humanoid appearances. The old man did not have time to spend dozens of They have to re-educate them as adults, and they also miss the most critical age for understanding the world.

Even if they are re-educated, their intelligence will not be much higher. The old man can only give up on them, but at least in the end they should be allowed to die under the stars. The old man showed his strong skills and his skills as a hunter. He doesn't need Xia Yi at all

Help, single-handedly send all the incoming degenerate people to the stars.

What the old man is afraid of are intelligent and hostile people. Those people are no longer reasonable, and their minds are full of finding ways to make their humble ant-like lives better in this remaining world, even if they consume the future. Maybe, they don't care about the future.

The old man doesn't blame people like that. In today's world, most people are like that. They don't know the stars since they were born. They only have the obsession not to die and to live better.

But these degenerated people are different. All that remains in them is pure sorrow, and their attacks are not even as powerful as wild beasts. This is what the human race looks like when they have completely lost the fire and starry sky. Xia Yi listened to the indistinct shouts from these degenerated people. With such voices, they are already worse than the so-called ancestors of the human race.

This is the scene after losing everything, losing civilization, losing the starry sky, losing wisdom, losing the pride of being a "human", and the end of the human race living in darkness.

After everything was buried in darkness, only the starry sky projected by the shadow crystal remained.

"Thank you... everyone for listening."

Some choking sounds, accompanied by old tears.

The rest of the search was still far from smooth.

The old man and Xia Yi met a settlement that asked them to hand over all their belongings. Of course the old man was unwilling, but even if they released a projection of the starry sky, they were ridiculed by the people in the settlement. They laughed that this was simply unrealistic. However, a few people looked at the projection of the starry sky and fell into deep thought.

In the end, Xia Yi protected the old man and escaped from the settlement, because they even planned to kill the old man in order to get the ancient relics from the old man. After successfully escaping, the old man still laughed at himself, saying that if he was alone, he would definitely kill all the old people first. Everything is hidden, let’s go in first to see the situation, this time it’s a bit risky.

However, he seemed willing to take the risk.

Because some people have indeed been reawakened to the desire for the starry sky. This is something he never dared to do before. After learning about this kind of settlement, the old man will leave directly and there will be no chance to show them the starry sky.

Although the old man failed in terms of the result, he still looked very happy. On the way to the next settlement, he told Xia Yi how many people in the previous settlement had stars in their eyes, and some were competing with the sky for their lives. , there are people who obey their fate, and the old man does not blame those who obey their fate.

They are just tired and in pain, and want to go into a good night's sleep quietly. Not everyone is willing to angrily criticize the disappearance of the light and roar at dusk, which means giving up even the last bit of peace, and being born from the pain of the mother. , grew up in pain, and died in pain.

No one wants this, just like people who are terminally ill. Some are so tortured by the disease that they are no longer human and still insist on treatment. There are also people who seek the last little happiness left in their lives.

The old man and Xia Yi kept moving towards the next settlement. The main food along the way was dry and smelly mushrooms. Although the taste of this mushroom was extremely unfriendly, it was already a kind of food for people in this world. A gift, this mushroom grows in many places and is something that people who venture into the wilderness cannot do without.

Even Xia Yi follows the Romans and eats this disgusting mushroom. When it becomes the driving force for progress, no matter how terrible the taste is, it can be infinitely delicious. If dreams have taste, it is probably an all-purpose seasoning. .

Next to the next settlement, this settlement was lost who knows how many years ago. There were no degenerate people inside the cave. It was completely dead. The old man collected items that could still be used in this vanished settlement. Still narrating alone with the starry sky projected in the center of the cave.

Even if only the bones were listening, he spoke very seriously. He hoped that this would allow the souls trapped in the dark sky to go to the starry sky. Xia Yi knew that the starry sky was actually cold, empty, and lifeless. .

But in the eyes of the old man, the starry sky has everything beautiful, or it can be said that people give the starry sky beauty.

The two of them continued to move forward. No matter how dense the black wind and sand was, it could not stop them. The old man was a mortal. Xia Yi only made him a little younger and did not give him much care, but he was able to cross thousands of mountains with his old body. Water, when the human race has not yet risen, what is needed is a fire carrier.
