Chapter 1247: Please Exist
As Chen Rui continued to walk forward, more and more scenes appeared, all from a third-person perspective. These were the scattered memories of the consciousness that was on the verge of collapse. He could clearly feel her true state of mind at that time.
In the scene, the 2 opposing forces were facing each other.
On the opposite side was a group of angels, emitting a s.h.i.+ning light, forming a strong contrast with the dark camp she was in.
Appearing in the front was a 12-winged male angel with a mocking expression on his face, “Lucifer, you despicable fallen one! You betrayed the light, betrayed and hurt Tezaneer! I, Uriel, will behead you myself, bring your head back as a gift to Tezaneer, and then she will be my woman!”
She glanced at the man who hid his sadness and anger in the deep gaze, then she rushed toward Uriel like a bolt of lightning.
Uriel was 1 of the chief archangels who was stronger than her. He didn’t take her seriously, but he underestimated her madness. She had suffered dozens of fatal attacks. Then, under the disbelief gazes of all the angels, she cut off Uriel’s head with a sword.
Before she fainted, those deep eyes still appeared in her mind, and a sentence echoed in her soul, “Why I exist…”
The scene faded away and another scene appeared.
In the sky, there was a b.l.o.o.d.y cloud that was gradually fading.
A tall and thin man with 12 wings on his back, half white and half black. His facial features were somewhat blurred, and his figure was dissipating little by little.
“No…” She frantically rushed toward the man, but she suddenly stopped because the man glanced at her. There was a hint of warmth in his eyes, but that was all. Then, he looked at the sky again. The existence in the sky that could only be looked up to had disappeared. In the depths of the man’s eyes, many figures deep in his memory could be seen. A faint longing appeared on his face.
Then, the man’s body and the supreme key in the sky split apart. At this moment, she fell limply to the ground as if all the power had been lost. Her soul vanished along as well.
Seeing this, Chen Rui had already understood many things, and the subsequent scenes seemed very familiar. The male lead was him. It was the scene where Python kept her promise and ‘surrendered’.
“I think you may have misunderstood something?” Chen Rui frowned and said.
At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the past, and some things overlapped, “Whether it’s a mistake or a misunderstanding, it doesn’t matter. What matters is to walk on the path I believe in. Similarly, I will bear the consequences myself.”
What she said afterward was like talking to herself.
“Who you are is probably more important to me than to yourself.”
“Do you believe in fate?”
“I think I can try the value of existence that I found.”
“Those are not important anymore. What is important to me is that I have returned to the path I want to go.”
Veronica appeared and asked, “I just want to ask you, what if you are wrong?”
“Then…” She was silent for a moment before she answered 2 words, “No regrets.”
Many familiar scenes appeared one after another. Most of which were scenes of him having a happy gathering with his relatives and friends while she just watched quietly from a distance. This kind of loneliness was just like back then.
Perhaps, this is all that I need.
“Everyone is an irreplaceable existence.” This was a sentence Chen Rui said, which made her fall into deep thought.
This was followed by a scene where Chen Rui explained the truth. She understood that he didn’t want to lie.
“I am not ‘him’.”
“Sorry.”
In fact, she should have had a hunch long ago. She just couldn’t let go because of a certain desire in her mind.
Unfortunately, the truth was still so cruel.
She seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, she was devastated, feeling that she had lost the value of existence again.
It wasn’t until the moment she flew toward the Book of Creation and the Book of Destruction that she seemed to have found her own value again, just like she sacrificed her life to rush to Uriel back then.
Although she felt extra tranquil in her mind, she felt empty and lost as if watching from afar and quietly following, again.
This was reincarnation and fate.
But since she had chosen, she would not regret it.
The scenes of consciousness stopped because Chen Rui had already arrived in front of her. Although the distance traveled was not far, he seemed to have been through endless vicissitudes and countless mood changes through her thoughts.
“Who you are is more important to me than to yourself.” Chen Rui tried hard to correct his blurred vision, staring at Python.
This familiar sentence made Python’s almost dead gaze move. She exhausted her last strength and turned her gaze slowly to him, just in time to meet Chen Rui’s red eyes.
Different from the depth, this man’s eyes were just simple.
Simple and pure.
A guy, with no big ambitions, who simply wanted to protect the people who were important to him.
For some reason, this simple feeling was somewhat warm.
Chen Rui looked at Python and said while feeling what she felt, “No matter what is our relations.h.i.+p; friends, enemies or others. Please continue to exist.”
Every word in this sentence embodied the truth from the soul.
Python’s pupils shrank. She was still watching quietly, but her gaze was no longer empty.
It was not reincarnation, and it was not fate anymore.
But existing for real.
However, she didn’t even have the strength to say a word.
A drop of tear slowly slipped from her eye, and cracks appeared on the cheek.
Chen Rui felt horrified that the Galaxy Divinity Statue of the ‘Doom Calamity’ of the Super System’s Star Conferring Platform also began to crack. He tried his best to keep Python into the Star Conferring Platform, but he was still unable to succeed as if she was just a non-existent air.
The colorful smoke slowly faded, and Chen Rui felt the fluctuations of soul.
This kind of fluctuations would undoubtedly speed up the process of soul collapse. These weren’t ordinary fluctuations. Chen Rui could hear that it was singing. A farewell song. She no longer left without saying goodbye.
Song of Darkness.
For the first time, she really sang for him, not for her own loneliness.
The crack in the Galaxy Divinity Statue spread from the face to the whole body. At the same time, the maroon heart lamp that was originally immortal in the storage warehouse was also cracked.
It had reached the final brink of collapse.
“Wait!” Chen Rui could no longer hold his tears.
“It feels very familiar.” A voice sounded beside Chen Rui; it was Gabriel.
At this time, Catherine, Zola, including Satan, Michael and others were watching from afar without bothering him or Python. Only Gabriel came over.
“It’s like when I watched that person disappear in the Psychedelic Forest.”
Chen Rui didn’t wipe away the tears from his eyes, and he didn’t look at Gabriel. He just clenched his fists, “What do you want to say?”
“I’m not as good as her.” Gabriel suddenly sighed, “At the beginning, that man chose to fall, I just felt despair, anger and pain, but she chose to fall with him. Due to lack of courage, I missed so much, and it has troubled my whole life. She has more courage than me. It’s a pity that she contributed more than me, but she got far less than me.”
Chen Rui was silent. Indeed, as Gabriel said, Python was always by Lucifer’s side. However, when Lucifer finally disappeared, he didn’t even mention Python.
If it was really like the entanglement reflected in the mirror world, Lucifer only regarded Python as a friend or sister. Therefore, since he didn’t mention Python, it means he had a different hope. A hope that she will let go of everything in the past and move toward a new hope.
He did the same thing a long time ago, and there was nothing wrong with that. Nonetheless, he could choose not to love Python, but he couldn’t stop Python from loving him.
There was no right or wrong in love.
Gabriel looked at Python’s fading body while showing a faint smile, “But in the end, at least she has it. She is no longer empty in this world.”
This kind of possession was perhaps not love, or not all, or it was other emotions. But in any case, there was hope at last.
“Those who have hope can have more.” Gabriel’s hand reached out to the blurred Python. Just as Chen Rui wanted to stop it, threads of golden blood flew out from Gabriel’s fingertips and landed on Python’s body.
As soon as the blood touched Python, it immediately turned into gas and merged with the smoke around Python.
“You!” Chen Rui felt that this was the power of Gabriel’s ‘Saint Fighting Heart’. More precisely, it was the Saint Fighting Heart that combined all life forces. Under this power, Python’s body which almost vanished quickly became solid. The slowly dissipating smoke also submerged back into her body bit by bit. On the contrary, the light in Gabriel’s eyes began to dim rapidly.
“Gabriel!” Michael exclaimed.
“If you are still the partner I have always regarded as my brother, don’t stop me.” Gabriel glanced at Michael, “Because this is my choice. I have already made this choice in the White Cliff.”
“Why?! All of you.” Michael covered his head with the remaining hand in agony.
“I’m just tired.” Gabriel sighed and didn’t look at Michael again. Instead, she looked at the sky, “Is there really another world?”
This sentence seemed to be talking to herself, but she also seemed to be asking Chen Rui.
Chen Rui had already seen Gabriel’s gaze clearly. It was a complex emotion mixed with exhaustion, boredom, and longing. He was full of emotion in his mind, so he just answered, “Yes.”
Mirror world, crossover world, or something else.
Gabriel smiled. Just like the lively and lovely girl in the mirror world, at this moment, she seemed to overlap with the past.
“In that world, I can still see him, and maybe him.”
After saying this sentence, the breeze blew, and Gabriel’s body scattered into countless silver wings, flying away piece by piece.
Chen Rui didn’t know who the other ‘him’ that Gabriel was referring to. Looking at the revived Python and feeling the cracks of the Galaxy Divinity Statue in the Star Conferring Platform stopped, this scene made him sad, but he felt more grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Michael stretched out his hand trembling slightly, and a piece of feather landed on his palm. It stayed for a moment before gradually dissipating.
