Chapter 42: The Pioneers and the Candlelight (7000)

If we had to choose a great being, a great being who loved one's family the most, and a great being whose family members respected and loved the most, then the answer might be unexpected.

The answer is not perfect, the Divine Wood or the Lonely Lords, who may love in common, but are not revered by all the clans.

It could not be fate and chaosβ€”their love is an unbearable burden for mortals, and their trials are the poison of the gods that cannot endure.

The name of this great being could only be the pioneer, and the family of the pioneer.

It is better to return to the Great Seal by himself, just in exchange for the opportunity for his family to freely explore every corner of the multiverse, and he would rather return to eternal sleep himself, and he must let the favor of 'exploration and adventure' be carried out by everyone.

And whoever it is, all the pioneer families who have been favored will be grateful to this great being who has elevated themselves.

Explorers, pioneers, adventurers.

At the end of the day, it's just a title, a word.

Before they became clansmen, they were desperate people who were trapped in the mire, walking in the dark, not knowing the way forward, and imprisoned in place by the silent future.

Their lives are stagnant, their future is visible, and there are shining stars around them, but they can't be touched, they can't get close.

That's why it's hard to contain the desire in my heart to get closer, to touch, to reach that unknown place.

So, they became members of the pioneer space, and they became adventurers.

Since then, they have begun to explore far-flung places, exploring places unknown before, and turning their lives into colorful and full of challenges and fun.

But that's not all.

Since then, they have blazed a trail for the future, walked out of the darkness, pioneered the unknown dangers, split the cowardly backwater, drove the rest of the people who were still afraid to move forward, crossed the dangerous minefield with their bodies, and then told everyone that this is a safe road, please rest assured to keep up.

Of course, in the multiverse, pioneer adventurers don't have a great reputation, which may be the reason why the former is more common and the latter is very rare.

But by all accounts, this is not surprising.

Because the term adventurer was derogatory from the beginning.

It sounds counterintuitive, but it's true.

The word 'adventure' is taken out on its own and itself means that you have to take the risk of doing something, to carry out a certain activity regardless of the danger, and the adventurer is a profession that specializes in this type of action.

They despise risk, they love crisis, they cross the abyss and the heavens, they fight demons and angels, they do all kinds of deeds that can be sung in epics, and what they do is undoubtedly an adventure and can open up a whole new way to the future.

But what this has done does not put the whole world on the path of 'pioneering'.

Only the Heralds, the Pioneers' favorite clansmen, and even the incarnations of the Pioneers in the multiverse, the Divine Ones, can do all this, pushing the entire world into a trajectory of exploration and adventure.

There can be thousands of adventurers, but there may be only one pioneer who can lead the world forward.

Therefore, the 'pioneers' among the adventurers are precious.

As a veteran pioneer adventurer, Funya naturally knows the difference between an ordinary explorer, an adventurer, and a 'pioneer'.

After all, the name is called the pioneer space, even if everyone is unwilling to do it, or they are not able to do it for the time being, but they all know what the pioneers should do.

It's just that it's too difficult to become a pioneer.

We must have strong strength, firm faith, foresight, and unswerving faith...... These are just the basics.

The most important thing for a pioneer is to have a charm, a dangerous impulse that makes people want to follow him, to follow him, to walk side by side with him, to challenge the dark and unknown distance.

The pioneer must be a banner, even if he dies and falls, he still stands in place.

Their existence is a beacon and courage, guiding countless latecomers to go far away without hesitation.

"Can I be a pioneer?"

Once, Funya also thought about this topic, although she was very aggressive, but she did not care about anything.

She was also an adventurer, eager to become stronger and go further, and naturally had thoughts about the pioneer who exalted herself above the explorers and adventurers.

But after several attempts, she had to give up.

It's not because I don't dare, I feel that I can't do it.

With the backing of the pioneer space, every adventurer has endless possibilities, how can they feel like they can't do something? As long as you are willing to find a way, and have enough exploration points and opening up permissions, adventurers can do anything.

But the question is expectation and responsibility.

Pioneers, we must lead the world and civilization forward. He has to carry a race, a society, a civilization, a world, and even more hopes and futures, which is a heavier burden than heaven and earth.

If it succeeds, then everything is easy to say.

Can...... If it fails, it's not just a matter of adventurers scurrying back into pioneer space alone, it's a civilization that has gone astray, a world in a desperate situation, and a group of people who are deep in darkness.

It is your own responsibility to take risks and explore on your own. Pioneers are different, that's different, not a level of responsibility.

"Can I be a pioneer?"

Even the most arrogant explorers, adventurers, don't deceive themselves. They don't have the determination, the courage to take on that responsibility, so naturally they can only sigh at the supreme name of this pioneer space, and then look back and continue to work hard to make themselves stronger.

Funia felt that in a few decades, when she became stronger, mature and calm, she might be able to try, and she had the will and belief to take on a civilized future.

And now, she can't do it, she doesn't deserve it, and she can't do it.

Funya didn't even think she would be able to see a true Pioneer anytime soon, a rare soul in the multiverse.

However, today.

Right now, right now.

Looking up at the sky, Funya, who was like the light of day, felt as if she had seen it.

I saw the soul of a true 'pioneer'.

Professor Svetley, the 'primordial candlelight' has arrived.

Above the sky, Professor Svetley didn't say a word, he descended to the top of the Core City's command tower, and announced his arrival with his own flight trajectory to all the fleets that were peeking around him, chasing behind the Demonic Moving City, announcing that the city was under the protection of the Xiguang Society.

The white-haired old man did not release his heart light body, but his momentum was like a mountain and a huge reef, even if the wind was howling and the waves were monstrous, he could not move him at all, his backbone was straight, just the standing posture was visible, it made people involuntarily straighten their waists, and their hearts were courageous, and a hard texture like steel was spreading around him, eliminating all panic and fear in the bud.

He stood in place as if he were a beacon of the future.

In just a moment, there were no more whispers and self-defeating whispers in the originally restless Demon City.

Funia stepped back slightly, she was obviously also standing at the top of the conning tower, but for some reason, she didn't dare to approach the other party.

It wasn't because of the fact that Candle Day, the enemy of the explorers among the explorers, was just that for a moment, she felt ashamed of herself, the other party was obviously not a member of the pioneer space, nor was he a member of the pioneer family, but he was better at exploration and adventure than those of them who called themselves adventurers.

Good at being the forerunner of the world.

But she didn't really retreat, on the contrary, she even stepped forward, and while Cicero beside her was still stunned, she stepped forward, woke up the middle-aged mercenary beside her, and then hurriedly followed, walking in the direction of Professor Svetley.

"My lord, I have done what you asked!"

Cicero didn't think as much as Funya on the sidelines, he was just happy and proud of his results.

When he came behind Su Sun, he bowed his head slightly, then clenched his fists, and said seriously: "Although it was a little unexpected and I received an unexpected helping hand, I did completely publicize the cultivation method you instructed regardless of race, class, demonization or ordinary people!" ”

"Although all the ordinary people who have learned this channeling technique are not willing to join us, I understand them, and they at least know that the demonizers who have practiced this channeling technique are no longer dangerous...... We've also restored the abandoned city as our stronghold! ”

"Well done, Cicero, your daughter will be proud of you."

The white-haired man slowly turned his head, his red eyes looked at the solemn middle-aged mercenary, and he smiled: "What you have done is beyond my imagination, even if no one helps you, I believe that you are destined to achieve something, but maybe it will be a little later." ”

"I'm here, you can take a break, temporarily recuperate, for a better future."

Saying this, Su Sun's eyes moved, and he looked at Funia, who was standing behind Cicero, "I have something to say to you, an explorer from the pioneer space. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Miscellaneous?! ”

Suddenly shocked, although Funya had a lot of thoughts in her heart, she still couldn't help but be shocked after hearing Professor Svetley's words, she never thought that someone would directly talk about the Herald Space at the first meeting, even if it was the original candlelight!

Unless, unless......

Unless it's not the first time he's met a visitor from the Pioneer Space!

"As you guessed, I've known about the existence of the Pioneer Space for a long time, and I know the normalcy of you explorers and adventurers."

Looking at Funia's expression, Su Yan naturally knew what the red-haired beautiful girl in front of him was thinking, and he couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Don't worry, I won't make a random move, let alone eat you alive...... Don't think about it, I won't bake you and eat it, what are you thinking in your head? You didn't do evil, and you did such a good thing as helping the demons, I won't kill you. ”

"Whether you're on a mission to pioneer space, or if you really want to do it, you're doing the right thing."

After finishing speaking, Su Sun turned his head and looked at the back of the city again, the direction of the faint fleet smoke and dust: "However, I still want to be a good one." ”

"Explorer of the pioneer space, why did you choose this mission? I know that the mission of the pioneer space is by no means mandatory, and even if you accept the task and then refuse, it is only a punishment, and it is not a serious matter. ”

He asked sincerely: "Why take such a risk to prepare for battle?" ”

Funia opened her mouth, and the cheerful girl, who was very good at talking strange things, suddenly felt that she could not talk nonsense, and she could not hide her inner thoughts with those seemingly exaggerated words.

She could only meditate and ponder, thinking about the true meaning behind her layers of thoughts.

Finally she replied.

"It's actually quite simple."

The red-haired explorer, who was so overwhelmed by his aura that he didn't dare to speak nonsense, replied honestly, "No one in this world has ever helped a demonizer before, and I think I can be the first, at least the first. ”

"I wanted to see this kind of future possibility, because I thought about it, and I did it."

"Really? This is very pioneering. ”

Su Sun praised, this is his highest praise for the pioneer family.

But Funia was slightly stunned.

For some reason, she suddenly shuddered, and the explorer instinctively recalled her past, and she couldn't help but think of her life on the continent of Aion when she was young.

But she can't recall anything, and her life seems to be blank before she enters the pioneer space.

Was he really born on the Aion Continent? What does a parent look like? What is hometown like? Did she ever have friends? When did the first thought of wanting to go to the outside world arise?

There were visions of the starry sky in front of me, the hand of a little girl reaching out towards the stars, and the hands of men and women sticking out from either side of her, intertwined and overlapping with the little hand.

She couldn't think of anything except the pastures of her hometown, the starry sky on the grassland, the roasted whole sheep made by the uncle in the tavern, and the little warmth when her palms overlapped when her parents were still alive, like fishing for the moon in water, only futile fragments.

Scourges, demons, nobles, empires, city people who discriminate against settlers, ordinary people who discriminate against demons.

There are also wars, upheavals, and deaths.

The pressure is like the pressure of water in the depths of the sea, which makes it impossible to breathe.

It wasn't until she entered the pioneer space that she could breathe and have memories worth remembering, and Funya, who had broken free from the shackles of her hometown, ventured into those wonderful worlds, which were different from the heavy and oppressive environment of her hometown, which were light-hearted and pleasant, dangerous and exciting, so that she could forget those unpleasant memories and let out wanton and cheerful laughter.

Until now.

Because of the turmoil in the pioneer space, after returning to her hometown, she finally realized that she had never forgotten her hometown.

"I want to do something."

Funia whispered, she lowered her head and muttered to herself, "I just want to do something and see something different." ”

"It's really enough, it's long been boring, the trajectory is immutable, I want to explore different possibilities."

"That's enough."

Su Sun turned his back to Funya and was surprised that his companion had never shown such an expression, and he calmly replied, "This is the beginning of the pioneers. ”

Then, the man said in a deep voice: "Funia, Cicero, in the next battle with the pursuing fleet, I will not take action, I will not personally take action, and destroy all the pursuers for you - I am not your savior, I am an existence outside your world, at most I will give you some reasonable help." ”

"The demons of the world of Aion should have the strength and faith to save themselves, and I will give you the inheritance of strength and the method of fighting, but the determination and will to fight need to be refined by yourself. If someone dies, let me bear the mistake, but they must have the determination to face death in order to survive when I am gone. ”

"Please watch!"

Unlike Funia, Cicero looked full of morale after Su Sun's arrival, he clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, and his eyes brightened: "I will prove that the demonizer has both the courage and discipline to fight!" ”

"Forgive me for retiring, Professor Svetley, I'm going to command the front!"

"I believe in you." Su Ri turned sideways and watched with a smile as Cicero strode towards the bottom of the command tower, this middle-aged mercenary has now taken a step forward in strength, and he already has the strength of the Heart Light Level.

This is already the backbone of the Aion Continent, Master Suiguang and Lady Yelena are just this strength, as the commander of the city's attack and defense, he is completely qualified.

Then he looked at Funia, who was standing still.

At this moment, the red-haired adventurer Yijin regained his vitality.

"No question, I'll get the job done!"

She replied loudly, shaking her head vigorously, and Funia even took a step closer and said expectantly, "Lord Primordial Candleday, what kind of help do you say...... What exactly does that help? ”

"Help you strengthen a little weapon, give a little repair, repair some damage to props or something, if you have a dark injury on your body, I can also help treat it."

Su Yan smiled and nodded, although Cicero has faith, but his intelligence is obviously a bit problematic, he said that he would not help, but he has come, and he must have some pleasant little hanging.

Really didn't do anything, he flew here from the Xiguang Mountains with enough to eat? That's just superficial propaganda, the middle-aged mercenary is not thick-skinned enough, he doesn't realize this, and he doesn't have the essence enough.

You see, Funia is very good, worthy of being a veteran explorer, and understands her metaphor at once.

"Well, I do have a difficult problem to solve!"

Funia was not polite at all, she directly opened the toolbox she was carrying, and in a burst of dazzling light, a giant battle mech painted red and white appeared on the top of the control tower.

The large battle mecha with a height of about thirty meters was very good-looking, the whole body was made of high-strength cosmic alloy, and there was also a powerful spiritual blessing, Su Sun could see at a glance that the combat power of this mecha could be improved to the point of disaster in a short period of time.

If the restless energy center in the center could be a little more stable, it could even exert the strength of the peak of divine will and the initial level of the disaster realm for a long time!

Coupled with the high-level strength of Funia's own divine will, during the time she piloted the mecha, she was a disaster combat power.

"I hope you can help me adjust the energy core of my 'Master of Art' mecha."

At this moment, Phunia stroked the heel of her car and shook her head with some distress: "Ever since I took the Heart of Hell from a Hell Lord, it has been disobedient, as long as I solve this problem, I can exert a very strong combat power, enough to defend this city with the local demons!" ”

"Simple."

And Su Sun nodded, he had already seen the key to this question, so the corners of his mouth curled: "It's just a small question." ”

The man's eyes crossed the layers of shells of the mecha and looked directly at the scarlet flame core that was constantly rotating in the center: "This core of yours is essentially the soul condensation of a great demon at the peak of the overlord after death, and it has been sealed in a fire element bead...... It's hard for you to control because this big demon doesn't want to be called upon to fight, so he's been resisting. ”

"Exactly. I'm very good at convincing other creatures, especially demons. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Su Sun stepped forward, and in just one step, he came to the energy engine of the master artist's mecha, and he stretched out his hand, and an incomparably powerful source energy pierced through the metal and reached the heart of Hellfire.

"Your Excellency?!"

Funiya didn't expect Su Sun to do it so directly, she opened her mouth wide, looked at Su Sun and the mecha at this time a little blankly, and had a bad feeling in her heart: "You are ......"

Su Tian replied lightly: "It's just brainwashing." ”

"Now, I want to instill life and hope, responsibility and courage, compassion and concern for all things in the world, and even love from the heart, all to this great demon with a bit of bipolar disorder."

As soon as the words fell, he could see a cloud of soul light from Su Sun's palm, like a star held in the palm of his hand.

In the man's hand, a ghast spirit was condensed out of thin air...... No, is that a ghast? There was not the slightest grudge in it, only Su Sun's purest faith, thought and will, it was burning, like a pure white flame core, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

Taking his brand-new cultivation method 'Bright Heart' to the extreme, using the 'Bright Heart Wisdom Light', which was born from the wisdom tree wisdom light, but the effect is even more powerful, Su Tian's eyes at this moment also shot out a bright beam: "I want this great demon to see his heart clearly and enlighten his wisdom." ”

Then, he pressed this bright light into the mecha's core engine, the restless heart of Hellfire.

"Roar?! You want to convince the great Olisses?! Do you want to convince the Great Lord of the ninth layer of the Abyss, the Lord of the Molten Pool and Fire Lake?! ”

Funya, who was shocked on the side, could faintly hear a voice roaring: "Don't think, inferior human, I won't listen to anything...... Yes! What is it?! Why is it so scorching?! ”

"This feeling, I'm going to melt...... Help me! No, I don't want to die, I'm willing to sign a contract! ”

The demon's voice was full of fear, a demon soul at the peak of an earth immortal, the overlord extreme realm, was difficult to die, and it was impossible for a demon soul composed of countless abyss fragment souls to die a second time, so even if he was defeated, it would be difficult to be completely destroyed.

But just now, when Su Sun sent the condensed wisdom light into the core of his soul, he had the illusion that he was going to be completely melted and purified, which made the demon who originally thought he was not afraid of death feel extreme fear.

But indeed, this is just an illusion.

Su Sun didn't want to kill him at all.

What a man has to do is nothing more than the simplest 'indoctrination'.

So, after a brief pause, a much softer voice resounded.

"No, I seem to understand something...... This, this is the color of the sky? This is the endless starry sky and the distance...... Is this love and hope? It turns out that the human world is so beautiful......"

Archdemon Lord Olisses's voice gradually changed from soft to firm, and he roared again, but this time it was not for intimidation, but for admiration, a kind of enlightenment.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I see, I understand, how powerful, this is love and justice, faith and determination, this is the most powerful force in the world, if I can return to the abyss, I will definitely become the best demon lord and lead the demon to prosperity and prosperity! ”

Funia, who was trembling on the side, really heard the voice of the great demon who occasionally roared and bewitched herself when she piloted the mecha, and gradually became low, peaceful, and even in the end, there was even a sense of awakening and rebirth.

He was directly enlightened!

What is this concept?! Someone can really neutralize demons?!

"It's only temporary, and I can't change the soul and true spirit of a life without destroying the core."

Su Sun withdrew his hand, and he nodded with satisfaction: "This is the rule of the multiverse, the result of the correct battle, but it is enough for the time being, the reason why the demons are so irritable is only because they are in pain and have never seen good, and they never know what faith is." ”

"Now I've let Him experience it all, in person. Even if he were to return to his original state, he would not be as barbaric as he had been. ”

"That's the power of civilization." He sighed,

"Roar! Olisses is willing to fight, and as long as the lady is willing to make a pact with me that guarantees me that I can be resurrected in the future, then I am willing to fight for her until then! ”

At this moment, the voice of the calm demon sounded from inside the mecha, and Su Sun nodded, he stretched out his hand, knocked on the iron shell of the mecha, and smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, from now on, you are fighting for hope and the future, following the three good demons on Yu Funia's side." ”

"Remember, work hard, don't be lazy, and from now on, if you can keep that faith, then you can also be a candle."

"Roar! I'm Candle Day, too! ”

There was such a voice from inside the mecha, rough and grand, and full of confidence: "I am now going to fight for the future of the world, all for a better tomorrow!" ”

"It's all for a better tomorrow." Su Sun smiled.

Hearing this voice, seeing this scene, Funia couldn't help but tremble.

She shuddered.

- Candle Day...... Candlelight is terrible!
