Chapter 1375: Lilibet, Lilibet
Chapter 1375: Lilibet, Lilibet
Divine spirits, blessed by the World Tree, the most powerful heroes in the Twilight Age of the Gods' faction.
Even in the Hall of Mythical Heroes in that legendary era, Lilibet was the most dazzling star, chosen by the Sword of Order as a divine sword wielder.
In the face of the Zerg tribe, she boldly advanced, never backing down even when facing the Insect Princess and her soul-tearing barrage.
Confronting giants, even the Ancestor Giant towering over a hundred meters, she dared to charge forward, slicing off chunks of flesh from the giant's neck.
The Azure Sword Wielder, fearless, always engaged in battle to protect the World Tree, nurturing the Origin World Tree that gave birth to the gods.
However, even with her remarkable abilities, she could not change the outcome of the Twilight of the Gods.
It marked the turning point between the Age of the Gods and the Star Bridge Era, a significant event that led to the birth of the Endless God's Domain.
Lilibet, who once promised to protect the Origin World Tree, lost everything.
The Main God she had sworn loyalty to, along with the entire godly lineage, fell apart during the Twilight of the Gods, causing the Origin World Tree that connected different worlds to collapse as well.
No one knows what happened afterwards. When Lilibet reappeared, she had become the Guardian of the Sky Tower, the oldest part of the new Sky Sword God's Domain called the Sky Sword.
"She... made a promise with someone..."
"That person... bestowed upon her a mission..."
"She... began to fulfill the new promise... waiting for the eternal return..."
The past Yun Xi, when reaching this point, clearly paused, showing a hint of distress, as if there was a problem in all of this.
"The real Lilibet... is not what you see..."
"Even so... would you still like her?"
"Yes, I don't mind what Lilibet looks like or what race she is."
(Translated by Gravity Tales 😄)
"I like everything about her."
Facing the fragments of his past, Yun Xi bravely spoke out.
Just like Hua Huo grew stronger or his childhood sweetheart, does Lilibet have a past he doesn't know about and is no longer his first love?
"So... make a choice."
"Accept Lilibet's truth... or give up..."
"Once you make a choice, there's no turning back."
"Lilibet's truth... is very special..."
The ghostly figure of the past Yun Xi reached out with a faint white silhouette hand, pointing towards Lilibet's fading figure.
"Hmm, I'm ready."
"I've always wanted to say this to Lilibet."
"If I don't say it, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
Yun Xi's fingertips gradually merged with the past Soul Fragment.
He had a feeling that everything would be different after the so-called "direct connection".
What does Lilibet, whom he doesn't know, look like?
Why did his past self seem somewhat reluctant to truly face Lilibet?
All the answers were about to be revealed.
Ancient voices echoed along the Gold Coast, telling epic tales written in the language of gods, belonging to the era of Azure Excalibur and its legends.
"Residing within the sword, pure and noble."
"Through endless forging, destroying and rebuilding, brushing away all confusion and doubt."
"With only solitude as companion, deep in the soul, sharp in spirit, all is true."
"The girl is like an elegant budding green tree, pure and flawless, without confusion."
"Watching over time, understanding love and fear, a heart not yet mature turns into an unwavering brilliance."
"Tearing through evil with the sword of the heart, cutting off confusion, like the shadows of countless flowers."
"Witnessing within the sword, magnificent yet lonely."
"Silent burning, the spirit of life, is a reflection."
"When the girl Su wakes, it is the day of eternal return."
Yun Xi saw the familiar girl, Lilibet, that he knew.
The girl had beautiful flawless wings, with pure white feathers untouched by any dust.
An angel?
No, not quite, she was something even purer and more sacred than an angel.
Amidst endless icy blue radiance, a blue divine sword stood at the center of the world.
Within the massive compass, lay the girl's—body?
The girl with white feathered wings had a face full of despair, her body devoid of all vitality.
With Yun Xi's current soul perception, he was absolutely certain, the girl had long been dead. If it wasn't for the icy sealing power of Azure Excalibur, the girl's body would have disintegrated long ago.
Sealed within the compass, was only the girl's shell, belonging to the great divine race.
Or rather, the true Azure Excalibur possessed Lilibet's body.
Suddenly, a huge silver-blue halo spread out, blasting Yun Xi out of the inner world of Azure Excalibur.
"Ah!" Yun Xi was startled - was this the true power of Azure Excalibur that his past self had glimpsed?
The real Lilibet, the legendary hero, had long since passed away.
So now, who is the Guardian of Order active in the Sky Sword God's Domain?
Who is his first love, the majestic wielder of Azure Excalibur?
"Some truths are perhaps better left unknown."
"Do you understand now?" the fragments of past Yun Xi shrugged at the disheartened Yun Xi.
"Wasn't it Lilibet that I loved?" Yun Xi was indeed deeply shaken - seeing Lilibet's body had felt like the sky falling down on him.
"It's Lilibet... but not Lilibet..."
"The sword... protects the owner's body... waiting for the owner's return..."
"The divine sword... Lilibet..."
Oh, Yun Xi finally understood what the truth he saw was.
What he liked, he always met in his dreams, that beautiful and determined figure, not human, or any intelligent race.
Her true form, is a sword, a Original God Weapon born in the Twilight Age of the Gods.
The true Azure Excalibur that Lilibet wielded, had long died in the Twilight War of the Gods, no longer existing.
But her divine sword remained, and carried on Lilibet's will, keeping the name "Lilibet" alive.
It's like lying to the whole world, even though Lilibet had died in battle, the divine sword wished for the name Lilibet*Elizabeth to live on forever.
Therefore, the magical sword took the place of its original owner and became the new Lilibet.
Yun Xi's first love, whom he liked, was never a human to begin with, not even a living being.
This is the magical sword that has lied to the world for millions of years for a promise, and will continue to do so.
The magical sword—Lilibet.
