Chapter 178 Beach Holiday, Under the Stars

"Have fun, everyone."

Princess Lu Xueling picked up Xilin and walked towards the two-story villa by the sea that she had already booked. She could no longer hold back the smile on her face.

His Herrscher and Valkyries were tactful enough not to disturb him. The second floor of the beach villa was destined to be a sleepless night.

The end of midnight.

"Youyue, Sister Ershi, and Sister Qian Renxue, enjoy your meal. I'm going to go back and rest first."

Beside the bonfire on the beach, the only two remaining Herrschers and the Valkyrie sat in a circle. Bella and Tianmeng had already fallen asleep. After Huo Yuhao grilled the last 5 kilograms of seafood, he said goodbye to his three sisters and returned to the first floor room of the beach villa to rest.

"Erosion, and Gu Youyue, aren't you going back to sleep?" Qian Renxue finished the last can of wine and yawned.

Xiaoxue'er's cheeks were flushed with drunkenness. She swayed her body, and the next second she fell backwards onto the soft beach.

The Herrscher of Corrosion chuckled and fell down with her: "Dominator, I can see that you seem to have something on your mind."

"I'm not sleepy yet." Gu Youyue picked up another skewer and continued eating. "I'll chat with you guys for a while."

Looking through the clouds and gazing at the starry sky, Qian Renxue's thoughts seemed to have traveled through thousands of years and stayed in a certain period of time.

She reached out and touched her forehead again. The mark of the six-winged angel was still there, but she could no longer feel the warmth it once brought her. Instead, she felt freezing cold.

The Herrscher of the Thousand, who represents the evil side of humanity, murmured to himself: "I really want to... be an angel again..."

"Domination... No, sister." The Herrscher of Corrosion smoothed Qian Renxue's bangs, put her scattered hair behind her head, and said softly, "Don't be bound by the past. How you use your power should be controlled by you."

"...Sister, Gu Youyue, do you still believe that there is beauty in this world?" Qian Renxue lowered her eyelashes, hiding the sadness in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, Gu Youyue sighed softly: "For soul beasts, humans have no [goodness] to speak of. The funny thing is that now even the gods of humans have fallen... and the gods of us soul beasts have long passed away..."

The Herrscher of Corrosion's tone softened unconsciously: "Dominator, deep down, you still want to be the angel you once were, right?"

"...Hmm." Qian Renxue smiled bitterly and raised her hand. The black air lingering between them made people feel cold. "Now, perhaps only revenge on Tang San can make my heart calm."

The Herrscher of Corrosion smiled and handed her a skewer of grilled fish. "Dominator, are you willing to listen to me?"

"Hmm." Qian Renxue took the grilled fish but did not put it into her mouth.

The two Herrsers lay side by side, looking at the bright and shining stars in the night sky. The Herrscher of Corrosion opened his lips slightly and said slowly: "Deep in your heart, you still want to protect the world and be an angel. That is not a burden imposed on you by others, nor is it a path preset for you by the past or future environment. It is actually a desire for goodness deep in everyone's heart!"

"The original body of this body... has your memories, and the Herrscher of the Void also told me about your past. Qian Renxue, no one asked you to do this. You made the choice to keep the angelic side of your humanity. This is your strength!" "The memories of every life are worth protecting. With a protective heart, you will certainly face more difficulties on the battlefield, but I think... that was also the source of your strength, and the strength of angels."

The Herrscher of Corrosion finished her words in one breath. She turned sideways and lay face to face with Qian Renxue: "Domination, I understand your concerns, but... when a swordsmith makes a sword, of course he wants the sword to be sharp enough to kill people, but this does not mean that the swordsmith himself is a profession that intends to kill people. The power of domination represents the evil of man, but it cannot represent you! And..."

The Herrscher of Corrosion paused at this point, as if on purpose: "If you are still willing to believe in the humans of this civilization, believe in and protect those beautiful things, you are still that angel. And... you will be the Herrscher closest to her among us!"

"She?" Qian Renxue was stunned.

The Herrscher of Erosion did not say anything, but stood up and drew a blooming flower on the beach with his fingers.

"Zhizhui, and Gu Youyue, do you believe that there are "flawless people" in this world?"

"A flawless person?" Qian Renxue and Gu Youyue looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

The Herrscher of Corrosion touched his cheek and smiled as he recounted: "I once carried out a mission with you, but that was for the convenience of disguise. My current appearance is derived from that [Flawless Person]... Unfortunately, I heard that in a certain time and space, because I was a naughty child... I was defeated and killed by her. But even so, I still like her very much, which seems to transcend time and space. Because she is the embodiment of the beauty of the world! She is willing to believe in human civilization and the existence of all [beauty]."

At this moment, Gu Youyue, who had been silent for a long time, snorted and spoke: "Herrser of Erosion, if the flawless person you mentioned really exists... then in my opinion, the shortcomings of humans are as numerous as the stars above our heads, and as for the advantages... at best, they are just a sun. Why would she be willing to love humans?"

The Herrscher of Corrosion chuckled and tried to imitate: "Because when the sun rises, you can't see the stars."

"But the so-called stars are just stars like the sun."

"It doesn't matter. She is willing to be the star closest to humans."

"But when the stars appear at night, I guess I can't see the so-called sun."

"Then... she will transform into the moon at night and always reflect the light of the sun."

No matter how Gu Youyue asked the questions, the Herrscher of Erosion was always able to answer cleverly, and the Emperor Beast could only express his final stubbornness with a cold snort, while Qian Renxue listened quietly.

“Puchi…” After a long moment, Qian Renxue laughed: “If she really exists, then maybe she is a true angel… Erode, you’ve been talking for so long, but I still don’t know the name of this flawless person.”

The Herrscher of Erosion blinked, and used his finger to draw the final stroke of the crystal flower on the beach.

"【True Self: Ruler of Man】, Alicia."

Far away in Mingdu, in the basement of the Holy Mission headquarters, the colorless crystal flower that had been sealed in the counter of the ninth-level soul guide for at least 4000 years seemed to light up for a moment at this moment.
