Chapter 681 Promise of a Dream
She has always believed that the path of "eternity" is the best choice to protect Inazuma, and for this reason she has even implemented the Eye Hunting Order to eliminate all factors that may threaten eternity.
However, the power of her desire was like a raging torrent that broke down the defenses in her heart and made her begin to doubt her long-held beliefs.
It can be said that when Lei Dianying felt those shocks, she had already lost. The way of "eternity" that she had always believed in seemed to begin to crack in the face of the power of desire. The once indestructible concept was crumbling at this moment.
Seeing Lei Dianying looking at this scene in shock, Yae Shenzi's voice appeared again, with a hint of victory and sigh in his tone. "You lost, Ying." These three short words, like a heavy hammer, hit Lei Dianying's heart hard.
Listening to Yae Shinko's words, Lei Dianying took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she spoke slowly, without denying her failure, "Yes, I lost."
Just like Lin Feng said, in the face of the power of desire, there is no possibility of victory. The reason why he persisted until now is only because of the unwillingness deep in his heart, and he is unwilling to easily give up the belief that he has adhered to for many years.
Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past, and those painful memories flooded into her mind like a tide. A moment will pass, but eternity will not. She once thought that as long as she pursued eternity, she could let Inazuma get rid of the pain of loss forever. Why would someone come to stop her? Is it really a mistake to let Inazuma exist forever?
She thought of the disaster five hundred years ago that almost brought Inazuma to an irretrievable end. Every step forward would be accompanied by sacrifice and loss.
The blood of her companions and the cries of her people have become indelible pains in her heart.
As long as she moves forward, she will definitely encounter such things. This is the lingering shadow in her heart and the source of her pursuit of eternity.
However, why would even those people want to rebel? Lei Yingyan could never figure it out. In fact, the answer is very simple. The eternity she pursues is not acceptable to humans.
Human beings’ demands are very simple, just to live happily. As for the rest, only people with lofty ambitions can have them, but how many such people are there among the countless people in the world?
Yae Shinko looked at Lei Dianying who was still immersed in painful memories, sighed softly, and said: "Why can't you trust your people and believe in the power of their wishes? Those wishes have transcended distance, space and time. No one can kill them." Yae Shinko's voice was gentle and firm, like a bright lamp lit in the darkness, trying to illuminate the corner of Lei Dianying's heart shrouded in haze.
Seeing this, Sora also took a step forward, then looked at Ying and said seriously and sincerely: "When people go all out... they can exceed the expectations of the gods. Even replace the work of the gods."
After hearing what Kong said, Yae Shinko was also quite surprised. However... the country that left the gods behind...
"Is this what you gained from your journey in Liyue?" She thought of the various creations in Liyue, and how she finally defeated Ba Che with her own strength. Although there were some tricks involved, no one could deny the fact that she had succeeded.
"That's right," Sora replied firmly.
After listening to Kong's answer, Yae Miko looked at Lei Yingying again and said earnestly: "Humanity is running forward, leaving the gods behind... But why should we just take care of ourselves... and give up moving forward unilaterally?"
Yae Kamiko's eyes were full of expectations. She hoped that Lei Dianying could let go of his obsession with the past and re-examine Inazuma's future.
After listening to what Yae Shinko said, Lei Dianying shook his head, his eyes full of sadness.
"...You and I have witnessed the losses that come with progress. Only eternity, only eternity can make everything last forever. I once served as a shadow warrior, following the previous general. However, the result was that every progress was accompanied by loss, until finally, Inazuma lost even the previous general."
Recalling the painful past, Lei Yingying's eyes were filled with sadness. Once upon a time, she fought side by side with the previous generals and protected Inazuma together. They experienced countless storms together and witnessed the prosperity and decline of Inazuma. However, every step forward was accompanied by sacrifice and loss.
"So from then on, I no longer believed in "a moment" like the previous generals, but regarded "eternity" as the path that Inazuma should move forward." Lei Yingying said slowly, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness in her voice. Her heart was full of contradictions and struggles. On the one hand, she was afraid of the loss in the past, and on the other hand, she was shocked and thinking about the power of the desire in front of her.
"Wherever the lightning flashes, it will cast a shadow. I am the shadow. I use "no thought" to clear all obstacles for Inazuma. However... every step forward will lose something, and in the end, even "her" will be lost. Those deeds are still being recounted under the shade of every thunder cherry tree, but the mark left on this country by those "losses" is still burning. "Just pursue it, even if it is only a moment of light." "We at least have "this moment." ". " "She" once said this, but I witnessed a country running at full speed, losing everything in the face of justice... Perhaps only by freezing time can the lightning not disappear. "This moment" is a fragile illusion, and only "eternity" is closest to justice. Now, I am no longer a shadow."
After saying this, Lei Dianying looked towards the colorful sky in the Pure Land. At this moment, the sky, because of the gathering of everyone's wishes, became dreamlike, as if telling a story about hope and courage. Those colorful lights, like the beautiful visions in people's hearts, interweaved a magnificent picture in the sky.
"This body is the most noble and honorable body," "It should hold the great power of the world," "This body should promise a dream to the subjects," "It is the eternal and unchanging eternity of thousands of generations." When she said this, Lei Dianying looked full of divinity, as if she had returned to the state of the god. She was swearing to her own throne, with a hint of determination in her voice.
In Inazuma's mysterious and quiet Pure Land, the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out. After listening to Lei Yingying's words, Yae Shenzi shook her head slightly. There was a hint of disapproval in her bright eyes, and a faint look appeared on her delicate face.
