Chapter 940 – This is what a man is

　　The sky outside the window darkened a little, and dark clouds shrouded the sky.

　　The snow-white curtains danced with the howling gusts of wind, and the pendants at the end of the curtains crashed against the wall, making a clattering sound that was inexplicably distracting.

　　Lin Qiye sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes gazing at the sleeping Jia Lan, his right hand gently holding her palm, not knowing if it was due to sadness or something else, his eyes flushed a faint red color.

　　Sadness, pain, unwillingness, and anger, rolled around in his body, and without realizing it, he had been sitting here for two hours.

　　Click-click-!

　　The door to the room was pushed open and Memorial walked in from outside, her eyes swept over Lin Qiye’s reddened eyes and her pupils contracted slightly.

　　Her brows furrowed instantly.

　　After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke, “What are you doing here?”

　　”Guarding her.” Lin Qiye’s eyes didn’t move away from Jia Lan as he calmly replied.

　　”She has [Immortality] to protect her body, she doesn’t need you to guard her.”

　　”[Immortality], isn’t absolute.”

　　”But there are no enemies here, and no one can break her [Immortality], she’s safe.”

　　Lin Qiye didn’t answer again, just sitting there so quietly.

　　Seeing this, Remembrance laughed coldly, “You’re not trying to protect her, you’re just blaming yourself, you’re punishing yourself in this way.”

　　”So what?” Lin Qiye asked back, paused, and continued, “It’s me who’s sorry for her ……”

　　”You’ve wronged her, so what? You plan to just do nothing and stay by her side until the end of time? Do you think you’re some bitter drama hero?”

　　Remembrance’s eyes narrowed slightly as she walked quickly to Lin Qiye’s face, fiercely reaching out and pulling his collar, yanking him straight up from the bed!

　　Lin Qiye’s reddish eyes carried a hint of anger as he looked at Memorial in front of him.

　　”Lin Qiye! Come to your senses!” A strong pressure erupted from Memorial’s body, and a gale instantly swept through the room as she clutched Lin Qiye’s collar and roared in a low voice, “Do you think that, by sitting here like a fool and condemning yourself nonstop, she’ll wake up?

　　Are you waiting for a miracle from heaven? Or are you begging fate for forgiveness? Don’t tell me which god you’re praying to that she’ll open her eyes the next second and cry in pain and cuddle with you?

　　You’ve been in this world for so long and you still don’t know that man’s destiny is better than heaven’s?”

　　Hearing these words, Lin Qiye froze in place, a flash of bewilderment surfacing in those reddish eyes.

　　”I ……”

　　”She’s just sleeping, it’s not like she’s dead!” Remembrance’s voice rose once again, “You are the son of the gods’ psychiatric hospital who is burdened with the gods’ chi, someone destined to stand at the top of this world! Don’t tell me that you can’t even become a god.

　　After becoming a god, won’t you be able to live for a long, long time? You’ll see each other again sooner or later!

　　Besides, are you just waiting for her to wake up? You can’t take the initiative to find a way to make her wake up earlier? There are so many gods in this world that are involved in the laws of time, so maybe there’s a way to make her quickly condense the laws?”

　　Hearing these words, a slight glow emerged in Lin Qiye’s eyes.

　　Right …… If Caran’s [Immortality], originally originated from the Laws of Time, maybe there really is a god that can accelerate the process of [Immortality] reorganization and allow her to awaken earlier?

　　The redness in his eyes began to fade rapidly, and reason and clarity reoccupied his mind!

　　”Parting certainly makes one sad, but if one only grieves and only blames oneself, then one is just a coward who escapes reality!” Remembrance pointed at Calan who was lying on the bed, stared into Lin Qiye’s eyes, and said seriously:

　　”Lin Qiye, don’t you like her?

　　If you like her, you should go and do something for her, go chop off the head of that brute that killed her, find a way to wake her up, and then smile as you place that brute’s head in front of her and tell her: ‘Look dear, this is the head of that idiot back then, I’m going to help you chop him off, what do you say to using it as a night pot or as a dog bowl?’

　　That’s what a man is ah hey!”

　　Lin Qiye stood there dumbfounded, like a lightning strike.

　　Only after a long time did he come back to his senses from her words, his eyes complexly looking at the blushing remembrance in front of him, for a moment he actually didn’t know what to say.

　　”I know ……,” Lin Qiye closed his eyes, his hands gently rubbing his temples, his expression somewhat struggling, “I’m sorry, I just got in too deep, and was accidentally corrupted by the Red Moon’s contamination of my mind …… thoughts were a bit extreme.”

　　Seeing Lin Qiye return to normal, Remembrance was slightly relieved and patted his shoulder with a big grin:

　　”It’s fine, it’s good to be back, it’s normal that a pure-hearted young man like you who is hurt by love will make some mistakes.”

　　Lin Qiye: ……

　　”Chairman, we should go.”

　　Outside the door, the knight walked in quickly and said to Memorial with a serious expression, “The red moon’s erosion of the Eight Length Mirror is getting more and more serious, we don’t have much time left.”

　　Memorial’s face gradually became grave, and the playful aura on her body disappeared, she nodded slightly and said to Lin Qiye, “The [Sword of Extreme Evil] is almost ready, we’re going to completely destroy this ‘Circle of Man’ soon, and when that happens, everything here will no longer exist ……

　　You take your wife and leave with us, and when we leave this place, I’ll send you back to Daxia.”

　　”Actually, I don’t really understand why you guys are so obsessed with destroying this ‘Circle of Man’.” Lin Qiye opened his mouth and asked, “On Amamiya Haruhui’s side, they’re already preparing to save everyone here, so if they succeed, this ‘circle of people’ will turn into an empty shell that doesn’t have the ability to generate faith.

　　Even if they fail, the Red Moon and the Corpse Beasts will completely slaughter the living beings here, and by then there will likewise be no possibility of generating faith.

　　There doesn’t seem to be any point in you guys trying so hard to destroy the Eight Length Mirror?”

　　”Pointless?” Remembrance smiled mysteriously, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the sky above his head, “Don’t forget what this ‘Circle of Man”s existence is fueled by ……”

　　Hearing these words, Lin Qiye looked like he remembered something, “Undead souls? Your true purpose is to save those undead souls bound by the Eight Length Mirror?”

　　After experiencing too many things in the Circle of Man, Lin Qiye had almost forgotten that the reason this Circle of Man was able to support such a huge population was because it used hundreds of millions of human souls as fuel.

　　Although Lin Qiye’s sword chopped the [Pure Land] and cut down the power supply of the majority of the “Circle of Man”, those souls were not free, just like buckets of gasoline that had not yet been burned, they were still bound in the Eight Lengths Mirror, and were not permitted to enter the wheel of reincarnation.
