Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1229: Embrace Blazing Flames

Time to return to the night of Sharon's visit.

The two of them came to Lucy's room after Sharlyn asked to talk to her alone. Lucy lit the lamp. Under the light, Sharlyn seemed to be emitting a blurry light that made her look incomparably holy. Lucy noticed a trace of worry hanging between her eyebrows.

"Teacher, did you foresee anything?" Lucy whispered, "Those bad things …"

"Little Lucy, I did see something. But I'm sorry I can't tell you so as not to influence your judgment." "I can only remind you that once Great Emperor descends on this planet, his fate with Allen will be tied in a dead knot," Shaglin said as she stretched out a finger and gently scratched Lucy's face.

"Father … will he kill Alan?" Lucy asked in a trembling voice.

Shaking her head, Shaglin walked to the window. Looking through the window, the lights of the city shone brightly. It was quiet, but it didn't lose its vitality. '"Your Majesty won't kill Alan," she whispered. "Of course, it would be easier to get rid of the threat before it sprouts. If it was someone else, I believe he would do it. But Alan, he can't do it."

"Because of you, Lucy. His Majesty loves you deeply. He loves you more than you think. Because of you, he'll only take Alan. At the very least, he wouldn't let Alan's life be in danger until he had completely transformed into the Son of Twilight … "Sharon smiled helplessly as she spoke." But how could Alan let Great Emperor take him away? He's a ball of flame. Only when there is no restriction can the flames shine brightly. If this had happened before his trip to Earth, I think Ellen might have chosen to submit for you … But now, his heart is filled with anger. And his pride, not allowing himself to be trampled on by others. "

"So Alan will refuse, and the consequences of refusing will be war." '"The war between the two men is destined to never end peacefully. This is what I called a deadlock just now, because both of them have reasons to persevere. And the two of them were right in this war, but because of this, there is no turning point …" Xia Gulin shook her head.

"Then what should we do?" Lucy walked back and forth, and finally said, "Or, I'll go find Alan, and we'll get out of here. The universe is so big that there's always room for us."

'"I think so too, but would Alan think so? Not to mention, you can hide once, you can hide a few times. Great Emperor and you are close relatives. As long as you and Alan are together, he can find you by relying on the connection between your bloodlines. My little Lucy, the universe is very big, but it is also very small."

"Then, is there no other way?"

"Yes" A strange light flashed in Sharon's eyes, filled with sadness and helplessness. "Only you can untie that dead knot. Lucy, that means you're going to be separated from Alan. I know very well that the pain of being separated from my lover, if possible, I am willing to take your place. But I can't, only you can, because you are the strongest connection between the two men. At the same time, you are the only one who can cut off their intertwined thread of fate. "

"I can tell you the method, but it's up to you whether you want to do it or not." A tear rolled down Sharon's right eye. "I just hope that moment never comes …" she said.

Back at this moment.

'"Now is the time, Teacher Shargren. I think I'm ready …" said Lucy in a voice that she could only hear, and she retreated, but the muzzle of Golden Rose's gun did not leave her for a moment.

Gulliver had a conflicted expression on his face. He didn't dare to follow him. He even disarmed himself so that Lucy wouldn't misunderstand him.

Behind the Duke, Orfasis and Allen arrived at Gulliver's side one after another. Alan shook his head and raised his foot when Lucy shouted, "Stand there!"

"Stand there, Ellen" Lucy's tears rolled in her eyes. She smiled, but her smile was heartbreaking. "Don't come over, just listen to me quietly."

'"You guys are always right. Of course, I know none of you are wrong, but your persistence makes me miserable. You can fight for what you insist on, but you won't calm down and listen to me. But now, you've finally calmed down, even if you're forced to do so." Lucy looked at Alan and said with tears in her eyes, "I still remember when I was in the death arena, when I was poisoned, he told me … I won't give up on you."

'"Lucy" Alan lowered his head, not daring to look at the girl's gaze. It is so gentle, but gentle heartache. As a result, even the azure flames on his head were gradually dissipating, and Alan didn't know about it. At this time, only the voice of a girl could be heard in his ears.

"At that time, I was deliberately alienated by my father, ridiculed by my brothers and sisters, like a doll thrown into a corner, no one would look at it. When I participated in the death arena, I only angered my father and embarrassed him. But I didn't expect that I would meet you there, and that I would know that a simple word would do to move someone. "Lucy smiled and said," So I desperately grabbed you like a last straw. Because you're the only one who won't give up on me, and then we walk all the way here. From Nether Domain Star to here, to the Garden of Eden. This is my wish, that I will not let you go, just to be with you forever. "

"Although there are more and more girls around you, although I know you can't love me alone, even though I will be angry and even sad about which girl you have. But compared to losing you, what's all this? Before today, I always thought that there was nothing more terrifying than losing you, but now, I have to let go … "

Alan clenched his fists and raised his head, "Stop talking, Lucy. Put down the gun first, will you?"

Looking at his red eyes, Lucy shook her head and looked at Orfasis, "Father, I know I'm willful and I've been making you angry." Actually, even if you hadn't told me, even if Teacher Shagreem and Duke Gulliver hadn't told me, I knew. You love me, and you love your mother, because I've seen you cry more than once in front of her bed. "

Orfasis's body began to shrink, and when he returned to his normal form, a blurry golden light covered his body. He looked like a heavenly deity, but he was just a sad heavenly deity.

'"I intentionally made you angry. In the end, I just wanted you to look at me more. My father, he is a king after all. He has too many children. Even if he loves me, he can't give me more of his gaze. So I can only ask for it willfully." Lucy smiled sweetly. "No more, father. I won't make you angry again. I'll do what you want. I just beg you to let me be willful again today."

"Father, I beg you to let Alan go. Let him leave this place and let him have the freedom he deserves!" Lucy shouted, "As long as you agree to my request, I will go back with you. From now on, Lucy is only your daughter, and I will not make any more requests."

Orfasis closed his eyes and could see that his entire body was tense, and his fists were clenched even more tightly. '"Lucy, you don't have to do this!" Said Alan on the other side.

"No, I have to do this." Lucy shook her head and said, "I have to do this, do you understand? Alan, it's the only way I don't need to see any of you hurt. Only by doing this can father temporarily let go of the king's responsibilities and you can get the freedom you want."

"But what am I going to do without your freedom?" Ellen shouted and said softly, "If that's the case, I'd rather …"

"Don't say it out loud." "Don't say that," said Lucy softly. "The man I love is a ball of flame, not a candle trapped under a lamp. Get out of here, Ellen. Give you, and give Father some time. I'm sure you'll find a different path. Even now, even though you've awakened, I'm confident you won't walk the path that ends everything."

Allen's skin turned from red to white, and the rock armor on his body fell off. Even the curved horns on his forehead scattered like gravel in the wind. He returned to his human form and returned to the person the girl was familiar with.

He let out a long sigh.

Orfasis lowered his head and said, "Inform our space fleet to de-alert them. Don't do anything without my permission."

Gulliver was stunned and looked at Great Emperor in disbelief.

Orfasis looked at Lucy and said softly, "No father can refuse a request from his daughter. I am the king of justice, but I am also a father." '"Let's go, I'm willing to bet for Lucy. Since Lucy trusts you, I'm willing to believe you too. Alan, do what you can. Don't go down that road. Otherwise, I'll be at the end of the road!" He turned to Alan.

Alan turned a deaf ear to Great Emperor's words and looked at Lucy.

The girl opened her mouth, but did not make any sound.

Alan understood her words.

I love you forever …

With a long howl, Alan flashed away. He first mentioned Bai, then headed south in the direction of Juechen. Lucy put down the golden rose, and at last let herself cry out in pain, as the howl continued in the wilderness for a long time.

After today, she didn't know if she would see Alan again. Even if I see you again, I don't know what year it will be. He Yue? When?

A beam of light descended from the starship in the sky and landed on Orfasis. A moment later, Great Emperor walked out wearing a long robe. He walked over to Lucy and gently helped her up and said, "Go home, child."

Lucy nodded. How weak she was at this moment.

A month later.

The southern border of the empire was now very different. Storm City and Black Iron Castle echoed each other from afar, causing the bandits who had been active in this area to gradually disappear. Not to mention Storm City's strong people, Haggis, the lord of Black Iron Castle, had successfully broken through to Level 20 six months ago, so no bandits dared to provoke them. Hagrid had already become a great figure on the border, and his will could completely influence the development of the border.

However, including the merchants of Violet Harbor, they all knew that it was not Haggers or Storm City that affected this region. Instead, it was the co-owner behind them.

The young count Allen.

Especially not long ago, when news spread that Earl Allen had broken through to Level 30 and had established the height of a Ten Saint expert, no one dared to question the fact that the Earl was the master behind this land. Moreover, news came from the Iron Spear Ridge that the Second Prince of Guest Spear City had promised to grant Duke Allen the throne when he returned to the Northern Capital. He had even exploded in the border area.

Violet Harbor has been bustling these days. Inland merchants have been coming to this port by boat and actively doing business with Violet Harbor, Storm City, and Black Iron Castle. Merchants were famous for not getting up early without profit. Since there were merchants from the interior trying to seize business opportunities in the birthplace of the future Duke, they naturally indirectly confirmed the reliability of the information.

For a time, Violet Harbor was ranked above Ark Harbor.

The normally quiet highways were now bustling with activity. The road from Violet Harbor to Storm City and Black Iron Castle had seen caravans coming and going every day for the past month, so the carriages were not so eye-catching.

In one of the unmarked carriages, Edward was looking calmly at the man opposite him. He leaned against the window, his eyes lowered, his eyes calm. However, there was no time for him to see a hint of sadness in his eyes. At this moment, he was three points more depressed and less sunny than usual. However, this kind of him seemed to have a different temperament from the past.

"Are you sure you don't intend to stay?" Edward asked.

He raised his head and the afternoon sun shone through the window, illuminating his fiery red eyes. Alan whispered, "I thought we had talked enough about it."

"Actually, I don't think your worries are superfluous, but they can be resolved." Edward sighed, "With your current strength, Julian is eager to hug your thigh. With the Second Prince behind you, I'm confident I can channel the power of the entire South to you. At that time, even if the Federation wanted to do something, it wouldn't be that easy. So look, I don't think you need to leave."

'"Edward, I know what you said. But I have my own concerns. That's right, with the help of the empire, I don't have to fear the Federation. After all, from the situation on Earth, the Federation and the nobles are barely maintaining an apparent relationship. And after that incident, no matter how much Mobius thought about me, he wouldn't dare to use the army. Otherwise, the population would fall." "So what? As long as I stay on Planet Heaven, as long as Mobius refuses to let go, the situation will gradually intensify. In the end, Planet Heaven may become the guide. The fire cords will completely split the Federation and the nobles."

"Grandpa took the initiative to withdraw from the clan that day. Obviously, the purpose was to prevent this kind of thing from happening, so I won't let it happen." Alan looked out of the window as if he was looking into the distance. "Besides, I want to leave this place too."

He didn't continue, but Edward knew why.

When Alan and Bai returned to Dawn Castle that day and Lucy did not show up, Edward could vaguely guess what had happened. After that, Alan locked himself up in his room for three days without sleeping or eating. After he left the room, he simply told everyone what had happened in the wilderness behind Sardinia.

After that, Alan decided to leave Heaven's Planet before he had this brigade.

Only Laura, Belmord, Hubble and Bai will follow Alan. The first three were Ellen's followers, and they were closer than others. Bai Ze needless to say, ever since the incident on Earth, this youth who had transformed from the King Snake did not want to leave Alan for a single step. As for the others, Alan entrusted them to Edward.

In the end, Heavenly Star's foundation couldn't be lost just like that. Moreover, Alan didn't know what would happen after leaving Planet Heaven. He didn't want to take other people with him. In addition, if there were too many people, the target would be too obvious. On the contrary, it would be targeted by those who wanted to. As a result, Edward was the only one traveling to the Starship Base in Sur City.

Two days later, Alan saw Sur City in the evening. The city where they first arrived on Planet Paradise looked exactly the same from the outside. However, the city was already very different. Under Lin Si's design and transformation, the city was now a secret starship base on Heaven's Planet. Thirty kilometers away from Sur City, they would encounter the checkpoint Edward had arranged. This place refused to allow any unrelated people to enter. It had already become a secret forbidden area on the border.

Seeing the walls of Sur City again, Allen remembered the past. It wasn't easy, but Lucy was there. Now that he had become an important figure in the Southern Region, the girl had already left. In a trance, he seemed to hear the girl's chuckle. However, when he turned around, there was only air in the spot beside him that was supposed to be hitting her.

Alan lowered his head, and the shadow that fell covered his face, making it impossible to see his expression at this moment.

Edward sighed.

After two days of preparation to ensure that there was enough food and energy on board the Dawn, Allen and the others bid farewell to Edward and entered the starship one after another. When the starship's cabin door closed, Alan felt as if he had lost something, and his heart ached for no reason. He couldn't help but use his hand to grab his chest.

"Are you alright?" Laura asked as she supported him.

Alan smiled and said faintly, "No problem, let's go. It's time to set off."

Looking at his back as he walked towards the control room, Laura's eyebrows almost knitted together. Belmord's voice came from behind, "Give Young Master some time. He will get through it."

Laura nodded. Now she could only trust Alan.

In the control room, the captain who took the initiative to join the journey saluted Allen and asked, "Lord Alan, where are you going?"

Ellen looked at him, looked at Laura and the others, and said calmly, "I haven't told you my destination yet. It was my negligence. Fortunately, I haven't really set off yet, so let me tell you. If you regret it, there's still a chance to leave."

'"Everyone, the universe is very big, almost everywhere. But the universe is also very small, and if someone wants to dig us out, I honestly don't find it difficult. So I'm going to a place that is filled with flames and chaos. There is only war and no peace. It's an eternal battlefield. But only there can we find a new way out."

Allen's gaze fell on the faces of the rest of the crew on the starship. "That's Agares, a place that neither the Federation nor Adahua Planet can reach!"
