Chen Ye hadn't expected Ding Shen to open with that line, but he didn't show any particular shock either.

From the day he had changed professions to become the Blood Moon Lord, he had known about the irreconcilable relationship between the Son of the Blood Moon and the Blood Moon Lord.

The Son of the Blood Moon wanted to kill the Blood Moon Lord to become the new Blood Moon Lord.

The Blood Moon Lord needed to kill the Son of the Blood Moon to absorb energy from them and strengthen himself.

He didn't believe Ding Shen was unaware of this information.

Seeing that Chen Ye didn't answer his question, Ding Shen didn't have any particular reaction either, only a deep mockery curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Kid, don't rush, I don't have many days left to live!"

"Actually, compared to that bullshit Son of the Blood Moon, I actually preferred my original Sequence more!"

"Right, you guys must have already found out what my original Sequence was long ago, right?"

Ding Shen's words were somewhat hoarse, the mockery in his voice never changing.

It seemed like he was mocking himself, and also seemed to be mocking everything else.

"Guardian Sequence!"

Chen Ye lit a cigarette and sat down beside Ding Shen, though his body was slightly angled away, a precaution against Ding Shen.

Ding Shen didn't show any particular dislike towards Chen Ye's caution and vigilance, as if he hadn't even noticed.

Ding Shen laughed heartily, "Hahaha... that's right, it was the Guardian Sequence!"

"Guardian until breath ceases, or your name is no more in this world."

Ding Shen traced the characters engraved on the long blade, reciting them softly, the emotion in his voice reaching its peak.

"I thought I could protect my entire family, old and young!"

"But I couldn't..."

"That day, those bastards charged into my home, my father, my mother, my wife, and my three children, all fell right in front of me!"

"I couldn't protect them..."

"It was at that moment that I awakened the Guardian Sequence!"

While saying these words, Ding Shen's eyes lowered slightly, the emotions within them unclear.

Only his voice was terrifyingly hoarse.

The "bastards" in Ding Shen's mouth naturally referred to those Anomalies.

Such things had happened to every person still alive.

Some people were still alive, awakening Sequences and becoming Superhumans.

Some people failed to become Awakened.

They could only continue living with these nightmare-like memories.

"Later, my home was gone, the city was gone too..." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Every time I heard those reports on the radio, I was always filled with rage!"

"Rage at why such things had to happen..."

"Rage at my own incompetence!"

"But there was nothing I could do!"

"Those bastards were too strong, too terrifying!"

"Later on, when Cha Wu said he wanted to establish a human sanctuary, I agreed without a second thought!"

"That time, I thought I had found a new place to guard!"

"I thought then, as long as the Oasis remained, I would guard it forever... the Oasis would be my home, Ding Shen's home!"

"I swore right then that I would never let what happened before happen again."

"Guardian until breath ceases, or your name is no more in this world."

Ding Shen recited this line once more.

The emotion hidden in his voice was as deep as the sea.

"The day the Oasis was built, those bastards came again."

"You've seen it... that thing I still haven't figured out what it actually is to this day!"

"They were entwined together, just like a nightmare!"

"By then, I was no longer that ordinary person powerless to even tie up a chicken, I was already a Sequence Superhuman!"

"But in front of that thing, I was like a child!"

"There was no choice, I made a deal with them, sacrificing a portion of the people, so the Oasis could continue to exist!"

"It was also then that I decided to change professions, to become the Son of the Blood Moon!"

"After becoming the Son of the Blood Moon, I became much stronger..."

"Hahaha..."

Ding Shen spoke slowly...

Sometimes, as he spoke, he would suddenly laugh by himself.

Other times, he would fall into sudden silence.

Like a madman who didn't know his own emotions.

Chen Ye listened quietly.

Chu Che had said that the existence of the Guardian Sequence in the apocalypse was a tragedy.

Clearly, this tragedy was unfolding right before his eyes.

"Hahaha... you don't know, if I had been given another year, no, half a year, just as long as I reached Sequence 5 of the Son of the Blood Moon, I would definitely have become even stronger!"

"But it's a pity..."

"A pity... those bastards definitely wouldn't let me ascend to Sequence 5!"

"I gave up too much, too much, just to preserve the Oasis..."

"Even going so far as to make deals with Anomalies!"

"Cha Wu also wanted the Oasis to survive."

"I know he has a dual Sequence, he's always sneaking around doing things within Oasis City."

"He thought I knew nothing, but I knew everything."

"As long as it was good for the Oasis, I never opposed it."

"Several times, when his people were discovered by Anomalies, it was my people who cleaned up the mess."

"And Ma Qing..."

"He also has a dual Sequence, I know that too, the things he does are also for the good of the Oasis!"

"We weren't wrong..."

"We all wanted the Oasis to survive..."

"It's just that none of us succeeded..."

"This matter... it's too difficult..."

"The Anomalies... they're too strong..."

Blah blah... blah blah...

Perhaps Ding Shen had already exhausted all his spirit, and being on the brink of life and death,

caused him to become somewhat rambling now...

Constantly saying sorry from his mouth.

"Sorry, Xiong Ba..."

"I didn't expect you to have already been replaced by a Pseudo-human..."

"Sorry, Little Hong... you trusted me so much..."

"And Hu Zi... I wasn't a good Big Brother..."

"Sorry..."

"And you, sorry, I wasn't a good blade master!"

Finally, Ding Shen stroked the large blade in his hands, his expression full of regret.

This blade was something Ding Shen had always kept by his side.

But just as Ding Shen himself said,

he really wasn't a good blade master.

This blade was clearly a Wonder, and its ranking number might not even be low.

But in Ding Shen's past battles, this blade hadn't shown any particularly dazzling achievements, even falling short compared to Ding Shen's own tail.

Ding Shen caressed the blade's body.

The blade trembled slightly, as if responding to Ding Shen's words.

"Actually, I don't know how to use a blade!"

"A Guardian should use a shield!"

"This blade..."

Chen Ye's expression shifted slightly.

Wait, are you about to give me this blade now?

That's how it always plays out on TV.

Besides, you old coot are about to die.

You definitely won't be able to use the blade anymore.

Give it to me...

Chen Ye's eyes burned with fervor...

Ding Shen glanced at Chen Ye and sneered, "Kid, this blade doesn't suit you, someone like you is more suited to that demon blade of yours..."

"This blade... you hold onto it for me, and when you meet a suitable person in the future, give it to them for me..."

With that, Ding Shen lightly raised his arm and directly flung the large blade over.
