Chapter 63
Tears flowed silently.
Yoren lay on the bed, his tears slipping down his cheeks and pooling behind his ears. He could feel the devil's final rage and the goddess' last, unwavering resolve.
Now, he understood—the origin of the Black and White Twins was not as Yuanshan had claimed.
The goddess sacrificed herself to save both the world and her beloved. She severed her bond with the devil, hoping to restore peace, to reset everything.
The devil did not fall because of the gods' punishment—he fell because he shed tears for her.
Black and white twin stones.
A fusion of the goddess' and the devil's tears.
The devil's tears carried no emotion, only boundless fury, driving him to destroy everything.
The goddess' tears held no memories, only her final wish. Whenever the devil's power threatened to consume the world, she would raise her sword and sever everything once more.
Thus, everything would return to the beginning, and the cycle would begin again.
From a modern perspective, it might be difficult to grasp the choices of those ancient beings, whose very existence defied the laws of nature. Their actions seemed like myths, unreal and distant.
