627. Monument
A new day. The northern edge of the valley of life.
The sky is cloudless, as blue as a huge sapphire. The first snow left a white mark on the top of the mountain around the Valley of Life. Firs spread from the mountainside to the valley, dyeing the mountain dark green. The river flows through the foot of the western mountain and leads a clear stream into the Valley of Life. Everything here shows the original appearance of life, peaceful and calm, and it is perfect to bury the goddess of life in such a place.
A platform of nearly 1,000 square meters was added on the river bank. The platform was paved with thousands of pieces of granite. A monument was erected on the platform. The monument was cast in alloy. The front was engraved with the "Monument of Life". A squirrel stood on the top of the monument and a woman stood on the side of the monument.
The woman's face was soft, and she was teasing the squirrel with the acorn in her hand, while the squirrel was laughing happily with her mouth half open, and her tail was raised high. Whether it was a squirrel or a woman, it was the same size as ordinary people, with a realistic expression, as if they had life, but they were solidified in the long river of time.
In front of the monument, Li Xinyan, Tong Liya, Stroger, Miluo, Anping, Kuiyin, Prisoner, Alan Ruowang, Haijiang, and Alex stood quietly. They were waiting for the commemoration ceremony to begin.
On the left behind Li Xinyan is the armed forces from Yinhai.
n223 and p100 were standing in front of them. One of them was the representative of the noble armed forces and the other was the representative of the management class of the Silver Sea. Although the styles and sizes of the others behind them were not uniform, the same light shone in their eyes at this moment, and even their movements seemed to be unified, because Ilena was no less than the existence of the twelve main gods of the Holy City in front of them, but more importantly, they came here to express their respect for life.
On the right behind Li Xinyan and others is a team composed of Li Xinyan's replica.
The surface of their bodies was all wearing silver armor, with sparse blue-purple streams flowing on the armor. The sunlight shone on them, and the team of dozens of people looked like an elf troops in full armor in the reflections of the armor, both elegant and awe-inspiring. Although the slightly curved streamline was not as stylish as the streamline on Li Xinyan's body, Leng Ling integrated his ideas into the body structure of Li Xinyan's replica, and creatively gave these warriors a kind of cold murderous aura. Therefore, although they are also mechanical life forms, they look much more eye-catching than any other team.
These replicas are a small part of the mechanical force made by Leng Ling, a man of 2,000 people, with only 60 people, not many, but they represent the attitude of human beings towards this war. If according to Li Xinyan's statement, they are part of Li Xinyan's divine power at this moment, then the humans in the dungeon are also part of Li Xinyan's divine power, and they support Li Xinyan to end the war.
However, their becoming part of the divine power does not mean that they do not have the ability to think independently. Leng Ling insisted on his consistent attitude towards the mercenary group, which is to give them full freedom of fighting. Li Xinyan received these replicas and simply removed all the control programs of these replicas. He knew that he originally did not need control of these defensive means.
The mechanical lark flew through the sky, and his sharp chirping broke through the sky. Somronco and Shanjian walked over from the south of the platform in a straight stairs. The audience gave up a passage until they placed the basket in front of the monument.
Somronco and Shanjian took three steps back, and Li Xinyan walked forward and uncovered the white elegiac couplet on the flower basket.
It says: "The flower of life will never bloom."
...
"Today, we hold such a ceremony here not only to commemorate our comrades, mentors and subordinates who have passed away in previous battles, nor to express our sorrow and longing for them. More, we must inherit their will, continue our unfinished career, and lock this war that should have ended long ago into the cage of history! We cannot look at our friends, the people we are closest to, whether they are biological or mechanical living organisms, and then be oppressed, enslaved, or lost their lives in front of us!"
Li Xinyan stood in front of the monument, facing the eyes that looked at him in the sun, and expressed the words buried in his heart in firm language.
At this moment, he no longer retreated and no longer focused on the past.
What he sees is the future. Without a future, the past will die.
If fate destined him to complete the end of this war, then come on. Now, even if fate does not designate him, he will strive to do so. After more than a hundred years of war, it is no longer the question of who destined to complete the end of this war, but if the war does not end, no one involved in this war will have a future.
Looking at the sky and the earth, this war is involved not only Li Xinyan, the dungeon, the operation group, and the silver sea?
Even the gods in the sky are already within the scope of war!
Therefore, ending this war is an unavoidable fate for everyone!
"Decades ago, I said, 'Life is born and always free and equal. Whether it is born from nature or belongs to mechanical life, free will will accompany you for life from the day it is born. This is the right given to it by the world, and no one has the right to deprive it. Accompanied by free will, the material existence, property, and behavior of every life should be free and should not be oppressed and exploited! Any oppression is unreasonable and will inevitably go to death', and today, I still insist on the same view."
Li Xinyan put his hand on the monument, letting the coldness of the monument hurt his nerves, and then gathered his strength and continued: "Maybe, we have hesitated, confused, and doubted, but today, we regain our confidence in free will, because if we did not have it, or if we avoid it, our friends, mentors or relatives would be oppressed, enslaved, or lost their lives in front of us!"
"Today, we are gathered here, and we are forced to the corner of this world by war. We have no way out. We need to support the pillars that support us and the future of the world. And the cornerstone of this pillar, our friends and mentors, have laid the foundation for us with their bodies! How can we have a way out in the place where they are sleeping?"
On the platform, there was a silence, but everyone was solemn. Although they didn't speak, their electronic eyes were bright red.
"So, our next stop is Machinery City! The source of this war!"
Chapter completed!
