Chapter 318 Not Eternity, But Annihilation
Lei Movie and Yae no Miko didn't talk for very long.
"Since I have lost to you, I can abolish the Eye Hunting Order according to your will."
Hearing this from Lei Yingdian's mouth, Kong couldn't help but feel overjoyed and couldn't wait to go out and tell everyone the good news.
Shadow immediately saw through Sora's little scheme and spoke again: "You can convey the information about abolishing the Eye Hunting Order to your companions, and I will also forgive and forget about this attack on the castle tower. But you must tell Haiji Island that after today, the entire structure of the resistance army will be dismantled, and everyone will return to their respective places and must not cause any more trouble."
After thinking for a moment, he thought, "I will definitely convey all your words."
Lei Yingdong nodded slightly, waved his hand, and sent Kong out of the Pure Land of One Heart.
Then, Lei Yingdian looked at Yae no Miko and said, "You should go too. Get rid of all those little bastards hiding in the shadows, and tell the people behind them: This is a one-time thing!"
Despite Lei Yingdian's rather stern tone, Yae no Miko showed the slightest reaction. Instead, she turned her beautiful, spiritual eyes to Xu Ning and asked, "Then, what about him?"
“I still have some questions for him,” Lei Yingdian said bluntly, which made Xu Ning, who was standing to the side, feel rather flattered.
Yae no Miko suddenly became somewhat resentful, "Kage, you can't forget the old one just because you have a new one. You don't just want to kick me out so you can share a room with him and a multi-tiered cake..."
Before Yae no Kamiko could finish speaking, he saw his old friend wave his hand, and he was already standing inside the castle tower.
Cheers erupted outside, and almost the entire city was in an uproar.
"Hmph, the ending wasn't bad, but they dared to kick me out. I'll go back and have one of Yaedo's contracted authors write a book about the two of them, the kind about a lovelorn couple. Hmm, that's a great idea!"
In the pure land of one mind.
After sending away the Eightfold Divine Child, Lei's gaze finally fell on Xu Ning.
However, Xu Ning felt that most of her attention was on the big cake in her hand, and it seemed that because her mind was not on her, she even forgot to say what she was saying.
"Ahem," Xu Ning coughed lightly, gently shook his wine gourd, and called out, "Qingyi!"
As soon as Xu Ning finished speaking, Qingyi jumped out carrying a small table, found a clean spot on the ground, set it up, and then took out two small stools and placed them on top.
As Xu Ning placed the cake on the small table, Qingyi had already set out the gleaming silver knives and forks, and without being told, she took the initiative to clean up the dessert crumbs on the floor.
Such an obedient little maid caught Lei's eye, making him take a second look and giving Xu Ning a lot of face.
Xu Ning personally cut a large piece of cake for Lei Yingdian, placed it on a small plate, and pushed it over. Then, she poured a bowl full of "Thousand Birds" into the porcelain bowl in front of her.
Watching a small piece of cake disappear into that tiny cherry-like mouth on the silver fork, the entire Pure Land of Hearts seemed to suddenly light up, making Xu Ning sigh in her heart that sweets are indeed an eternal healing remedy.
After savoring the unusual sweetness with his eyes slightly closed, Lei finally opened them.
Seeing Xu Ning staring intently at him, Lei Yingdian felt a little embarrassed.
"Tell me about Liyue, after Morax left."
Xu Ning noticed that Lei Yingdian used the word "leave," indicating that she also didn't believe that Yan Wang Dijun would die so easily.
He knew what Ray wanted to know: basically, the reactions of the Liyue people after the departure of the Geo Archon and the paths they chose afterward.
After all, Inazuma, whom she had protected for hundreds of years, and Liyue, whom the Emperor had protected for thousands of years, had many similarities in many ways.
As Xu Ning recounted the past of Liyue, most of the cake ended up in that delicate little mouth.
It was only when Xu Ning mentioned the immortals of Jueyun that Lei Yingdian stopped acting with a sense of loss.
“We also had such a generation, where foxes, tengu, oni, tanuki, cat demons, weasels, spirits... no matter what kind of monsters they were, they all surrounded Shin, and together they were as close as brothers and sisters in order to protect their beloved Inazuma.”
"But as I moved forward, fewer and fewer people were around me, and in the end, I lost even her."
As Lei's film narrated, the entire Pure Land of One Heart returned to its somber state.
Sensing Lei's sorrowful mood, Xu Ning slowly said, "So you've always wanted to solidify the 'present' because you don't want to see any more loss, is that right?"
Lei Yingdian raised his head and said, "This is eternity!"
Xu Ning shook his head slightly, carefully considering his words, and said, "But in my opinion, this is not eternal..."
Upon hearing this, Lei Yingdian's gaze towards Xu Ning immediately sharpened.
"...at least it's not the kind of eternity I thought it was; it's more like a kind of unchanging 'annihilation'."
"The eternity I understand is the eternity of dreams never dying and hopes being passed on, the eternity of bloodlines never ending and love lasting forever, and the eternity of remaining true to one's original aspirations even after death and the extinction of one's soul."
After listening to Xu Ning's words, Lei Yingdong pondered for a long time before raising his head.
"I need to think more about eternity and the direction this country is heading."
Xu Ning stood up with a smile and let the little green snake, which had already been cleaned, enter the Dust Concealment Gourd.
"Okay. Let's leave this small table here. I hope we can share a delicious meal together again next time."
Lei gave a barely audible "hmm" and waved Xu Ning away.
"Things here have finally come to an end. Although the issue of closing the country to foreign trade is still unresolved, at least the Eye Hunting Order has been abolished."
Xu Ning thought for a moment and realized there seemed to be no reason for a fight to break out. In any case, Kong would still be spending some time with Coral Palace on Haizhi Island. Should he take advantage of the time when both sides were recuperating to go back to Liyue, report to the Emperor, and also report to Qixing?
When Xu Ning strolled to the castle tower, fireworks of all colors were already being set off all over Inazuma Castle. It seemed that many people were not going to sleep today and were going to celebrate this hard-won peace all night long.
"The war is over, will my brother be back soon?"
"We haven't heard from Fujisaburo in a long time. He'll definitely come back this time, right?"
"Heh, is it over? Then let's go to Bayun Island. Finding some relics would be something to look forward to!"
Those who have suffered greatly from war secretly lick their wounds amidst the celebrations, hoping to rekindle their courage to live. However, many others will never see such celebratory scenes again.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, Xu Ning suddenly felt his desire to return to his hometown become clearer and stronger.
I want to go back to my hometown, I want to eat the local food, and I want to be back with the people I love.
