Chapter 544 No Meaning If Not Understanding
The midsummer temperature at Mormans was as cold as winter.
It rained during the cold winter.
The endless rain seemed to drift from Recchi City to the northernmost part of Snow Country. The slow falling sleet hurt the peoples’ faces.
In the rain, Mormans appeared as an extremely sharp city.
The Everlasting Night remained unchanged, and the rain fell between heaven and earth. The raindrops pelted down continuously.
When Deity got off the plane, the Mormans night sky was dark and hazy.
He lowered his head to look at the time on his watch. It was as if he was in a trance and did not know whether it was day or night. Wisps of white steam rose as he breathed. This was considered the warmest season at Mormans. He reached out his hand and clenched it casually. He felt the cold rain between his fingers and remained silent for a long time.
There was a black off-road vehicle parked not far away from the plane.
The moment Deity got off the plane, the door of the off-road vehicle opened. A middle-aged man less than 50 years old, walked over quickly. The middle-aged man’s appearance was not outstanding, but his every move was unusually steady and expansive. He was the kind of person who looked rea.s.suring at first glance. Deity glanced at him and his eyes softened. Deity smiled and waved at him.
The middle-aged man paused and looked at Daybreak with cold eyes. Then he walked to Deity and said expressionlessly, “Where are you going, Your Highness?”
It was definitely not a good att.i.tude.
But Deity did not seem to mind at all. He just smiled kindly and said, “Have you had dinner yet? Need a bite from someplace nearby?”
“No need.”
The middle-aged man said blandly, “Where are you going?”
“Tian Yin, watch your att.i.tude!”
Daybreak finally could not bear it anymore. “Don’t forget who is standing in front of you!”
“Att.i.tude?”
The middle-aged man’s voice was cold. He seemed to be responding to Daybreak, but he stared into Deity’s eyes, sharply and directly. “What att.i.tude do you want?”
Daybreak’s eyes darkened, and he seemed to be angry.
Deity suddenly waved his hand and said, “Well, we are on the same side. What is the point of quarreling as soon as we meet?”
“I am not talking to him.”
Tian Yin looked at Deity calmly. “Your Highness, what sort of att.i.tude do you want?”
Dawn and Daybreak’s expressions changed. They looked at Deity. They wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
Deity fell silent.
The atmosphere in the heavy rain suddenly became somewhat depressing.
“Your Highness, Tian Yin is not…”
The anger in Daybreak’s eyes suddenly eased, and he pleaded on behalf of Tian Yin.
Deity waved his hand. He looked at Tian Yin’s eyes and said softly, “What I want is your att.i.tude.”
“That is my att.i.tude. It is obvious,”
Tian Yin said in a calm tone.
Deity took a deep look at him, walked over to him and sat in the off-road vehicle.
Tian Yin stood where he was, drenched in the rain. His eyes were clear and stubborn.
“What the h.e.l.l are you doing?”
Daybreak winked at Dawn and asked him to follow Deity. Then he walked to Tian Yin and asked in a low voice.
The Purgatory of Heaven Capital.
Tian Yin.
The three experts under Deity of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital were Daybreak, Dawn and Phoenix. They were respectively in charge of Senluo, Life-prolonging and Athanasy, which were the most elite and horrifying halls in the Purgatory of Heaven Capital.
However, the code name “Tian Yin” was not ordinary. In the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, the code name “Tian” had an extraordinary meaning in itself.
Tian Yin was the deputy captain of the Athanasy Hall, at the Peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm and also Phoenix’s main a.s.sistant.
This position was a lofty post in the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, but it was still far from Deity’s.
But the problem was that within the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, there were too many stories about the position itself. How could a simple person with a high position become the leader?
Tian Yin’s connection with Deity was no less than that between Daybreak and Deity.
But even so, he still thought that Tian Yin had gone too far this time. His secret contention with His Highness was totally different from confronting Deity face to face.
“Nothing.”
Tian Yin said expressionlessly.
“What is the matter with you? Are you crazy?”
Daybreak sneered coldly.
Tian Yin looked at the falling rain in the night. After a long time, he said blandly, “The rain is too strong. I don’t like it.”
He turned around and walked toward the off-road vehicle.
Daybreak looked quietly at his departing back.
Tian Yin’s back was straight, but he felt a sense of loneliness emanating from the rigid back.
Daybreak felt a little annoyed and was lost in thought.
Lonely.
He had never thought that Tian Yin would feel lonely among them.
This was a real brother. Tian Yin had saved him and even Deity. He had also been saved by him and Deity. On the battlefield, they could entrust their lives to each other without any reservation.
He felt lonely.
Why?
Daybreak shook his head hard and walked to the off-road vehicle.
Mormans’ rainfall was too heavy, and right now, the Purgatory of Heaven Capital was too huge.
In the vast Purgatory of Heaven Capital, he suddenly wanted to know who was also lonely like him.
The off-road vehicle turned around and left in the increasingly heavy rain.
Tian Yin was silent as he drove.
“Did we gain anything in Mormans?”
Deity broke the silence and suddenly asked.
“No.”
Tian Yin shook his head. He was a little serious, but his tone was still bland. “There is almost no trace of the Samsara Palace here. We have checked all aspects, but there is no trace of the Samsara Palace. After the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance, I investigated into some members inside the Polar Ground Alliance and found a lot of things. A total of 22 four-star deacons may be members of the Samsara Palace, but it is only a possiblity. According to our a.n.a.lysis, the lowest possibility is less than 5% and the highest possibility is no more than 17%. Currently, we have not found any evidence.”
Deity did not say anything.
But Daybreak and Dawn’s eyes twitched and they looked at each other.
Before the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance, it was the largest and only super power in all of Eastern Europe. It covered many countries in Eastern Europe, and deacons were its real main force. The highest-ranking deacon was a five-star. Above that was the member of parliament. It was no exaggeration to say that any four-star deacon would be a high-ranking figure in the Polar Ground Alliance. How many four-star deacons did the Polar Ground Alliance have? How many of them could stay in Snow Country? If the Samsara Palace really had the ability to control 22 four-star deacons, it would be equivalent to monopolizing one-fifth of the power of discourse of the Polar Ground Alliance. This was simply impossible.
“It is really good at hiding the strength.”
Deity whispered to himself.
The Purgatory of Heaven Capital had set up a trap in Mormans three years ago. From the earliest time, even before the final battle of East Island, Zhongzhou State had planned to plot against East Island. The Master of Samsara Palace had just challenged Gu Xingyun, and Daybreak had come forward to have a talk with Qin Weibai for the first time. In the end, the cooperation between the Samsara Palace and the Purgatory of Heaven Capital had been achieved.
Qin Weibai did not hide anything.
East Island was the beginning and Eastern Europe was the end. The whole orderly but extremely complicated plan had been revealed to Deity from then on.
Mormans would be the place where everything would come to an end, and it would also be the place where the final battle would begin.
Deity naturally had to plant the seeds in Mormans at the first instance.
As for the first batch of people he sent to Eastern Europe, of course, they were the ones that he had absolute trust in, and would not doubt them at all.
There were eighty such people.
Tian Yin was the leader of this group of people.
Therefore, Tian Yin missed the final battle of East Island at that time.
However, half a year ago, Tian Yin should have given up his position here and returned to East Island to enjoy a good life. He did return, but he came back in less than three months.
Now, it was still under Tian Yin’s control.
Deity also trusted him.
“Let us go to this place.”
Deity took out a map and pointed out a place to Tian Yin.
The terrain of Mormans was complex, so was the map. Tian Yin glanced at it and then the off-road vehicle turned around and began to speed up.
“That is the junction of the urban area and the suburbs. There seems to be a manor. What else?”
Tian Yin asked.
“It is that manor.”
Deity smiled and said, “I have an appointment with Qin Weibai. This is the location she chose.”
“Hmm,” Tian Yin replied calmly, “I will do my best to investigate.”
“You have worked hard.”
Deity looked at Tian Yin for a while, then suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Tian Yin did not remain silent, nor did he say any polite words. He just calmly said, “Since it is so hard, when will Your Highness be able to reward me?”
“Tian Yin!”
Daybreak’s voice was cold. He really felt a little angry.
Deity cut through his anger, and asked with a smile, “What do you want? There is no need for us to be polite.”
As expected, Tian Yin did not refuse. He said blandly, ” Senluo, Life-prolonging and Athanasy Three Halls. Give one to me.”
He glanced at Daybreak and Dawn.
Daybreak and Dawn did not hesitate and answered in unison, “I will give mine to you, don’t…”
“I want the Athanasy Hall,”
Tian Yin interrupted them directly.
Daybreak and Dawn looked at each other and saw the bitterness and helplessness in each other’s eyes.
Senluo, Athanasy, Life-prolonging.
The authority of the masters of the three halls in the Purgatory of Heaven Capital was second only to that of Deity.
If Tian Yin wanted it, Daybreak and Dawn could give him both Senluo Hall and Life-prolonging Hall. Now that they were so close, some powers really meant nothing.
However, Tian Yin did not want them, but wanted Athanasy Hall instead.
The hall master of Athanasy Hall was Phoenix.
Daybreak looked at Deity and coughed dryly, “Tian Yin, I promise you that the comprehensive combat capability of Senluo Hall is definitely stronger than that of Athanasy Hall. How about you go to Senluo Hall, while I stay with His Highness?”
Among the three giants of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, Daybreak was the strongest. So Senluo Hall was naturally stronger than the other two halls. If Tian Yin had this position, it could be said to be the real Number Two of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital.
Tian Yin glanced at him.
His eyes suddenly had a little sarcastic and mean look in them. ” I will get Senluo Hall? Do I have to do anything if I get it? There are some things that you will be embara.s.sed to do. I am sorry, I want the face and I don’t want those dead brothers to poke my backbone.”
Daybreak’s expression changed slightly, and he smiled bitterly, without saying a word.
“Well, why don’t you come with me…”
“Shut up,”
Tian Yin looked at Dawn and said this directly.
“…”
Dawn shrugged and did not say anything more.
Tian Yin looked at Deity and said calmly, “Your Highness, so will you give Athanasy Hall to me or not?”
Daybreak sighed softly and finally remained silent.
Tian Yin was extremely experienced. Even in Athanasy Hall, Phoenix was still very polite and respectful to him, as if he was the elder brother. He did not know what Phoenix had done to offend Tian Yin before, but now he understood that it was not Phoenix who had offended Tian Yin, but His Highness.
“If I don’t give it to you, what will you do?”
Deity suddenly asked, and his eyes were still soft as he looked at Tian Yin.
“What will you do?”
After a moment of silence, Tian Yin said in a self-mocking tone, “What can I do? If Your Highness is not willing, let me leave the Purgatory of Heaven Capital and go home.”
“Go home?”
Deity whispered, “Lin’an?”
“No, to Tiannan,”
Tian Yin said softly, and his eyes softened. “I miss Young Master.”
Deity was his master.
But he had Young Master.
There was only one.
Only one.
This was the biggest difference.
Deity fell silent.
After a long time, he said slowly, “Why?”
There were many meanings in this question, but there were no emotions, no feelings at all.
Deity was calm and peaceful, without sadness or joy.
After a long silence, Tian Yin said slowly, “Because you cannot imagine what a child who has lived in despair and fear since childhood feels.”
“This child desperately wanted to seize everything and protect everything, but he could not do anything. He could not cry, retreat or show any weakness. Even of he was tired, exhausted, bored or in pain, he could only grit his teeth and keep silent.”
“You don’t understand these things, so you won’t think about the meaning of his existence.”
If he did not understand, of course, there was no meaning.
Deity was lost in thought, and suddenly said, “He cried in front of me.”
“Yes, in front of you, he could only cry in front of you. Otherwise, who else could he face? Only when he is in front of you, will he feel that he is a child.”
Tian Yin laughed mockingly and said icily, “But I don’t think he will think so now.”
Deity’s heart ached for no reason, and he kept silent.
The car moved forward slowly on the flat road, amid the wind and rain.
The street lights on both sides gradually receded.
After going around, the journey took nearly an hour. When the off-road vehicle was about to leave the urban area, Deity finally saw the manor between the darkness and receding light.
The off-road vehicle stopped at the gate of the manor.
The two security guards in front of the door walked over calmly. They looked at Deity, and they politely asked, “Who are you looking for, please?”
Deity opened the door and got out of the car. He stood in front of the door and looked at the manor in the dark.
The manor was hazy, as if it was covered by a faint white fog.
The temperature was freezing and it was raining continuously. But the interior of the manor seemed like heaven.
Cl.u.s.ters of flowers, green gra.s.s and dense trees grew all over the place.
In such a large manor, every corner was filled with vitality.
It had an infinite amount of vitality.
Deity looked at everything in the manor, and the look in his eyes was complicated. After a long time, he said slowly, “Tell Qin Weibai that I am here.”
The wind and rain between heaven and earth suddenly lessened.
The deep darkness seemed to freeze in an instant.
Tian Yin opened the door.
Daybreak was preparing to get out of the car.
Dawn was about to speak.
Deity was about to take a step.
But all of a sudden, everyone froze on the spot.
Deity’s body tensed and he looked into the depths of the manor.
A tinge of darkness appeared in his hand. In the blink of an eye, the ink-black patch in his hand had turned into a huge and dangerous looking black sickle.
Before he entered the door, Deity had already readied himself for a fight.
An incomparably violent cloud of emotion suddenly filled the air between heaven and earth.
Violent anger, coldness, disgust, rejection, cruelty, excitement…
Countless emotions combined and turned into the coldest killing intent and directly spread all over the manor.
There was a little light in front of Deity.
It was colorful and beautiful.
In his sight, the white clothes flashed slightly. With every step she took, her feet s.h.i.+mmered with a colorful flowing light, as if she was in a dream.
Qin Weibai’s figure drifted and finally appeared beside Deity.
The killing intent between heaven and earth had completely condensed into one location, and it seemed that it could erupt at any moment.
Qin Weibai’s body was surrounded by colorful lights, and her graceful posture was ethereal.
Deity did not look at her, but looked closely at the void behind her.
After an unknown period of time, he said slowly, “Is this the sword that Phoenix was talking about?”
Qin Weibai nodded and said apologetically, “It has a bad temper, and I can’t control it.”
Deity gave her a complex smile.
Qin Weibai said calmly, “Your Highness, since you are here, why don’t you come in and have a chat?”
Deity stayed silent for a long time before he said slowly, “No, let us just talk here.”
