The endless void has no distinction between up and down, let alone front and back, left and right. Deep and distant, boundless.

In the darkness like the deepest night, countless flickering lights dotted it, blinking like eyes, adding a little vividness to the silent void.

The line of sight suddenly narrowed, and the flickering light slowly became larger and brighter. When I got closer, I realized that it was a sphere with a blazing flame all over it.

It's a star.

Around the star, there are several smaller planets that rotate around it in a fixed trajectory.

Looking closer, on a certain planet, in the ocean, on the land, countless life forms are slowly conceived, grown, and evolved. All kinds of plants and animals appeared one after another, and gradually died out.

Then intelligent beings appeared, with strange appearances, some cute and some fierce; Some are as strong as gods, while others are as weak as ants.

Intelligent life knows how to build, how to create, but also how to destroy. They compete for environmental resources for survival, for everything they need. And so the battle inevitably happened......

Call~

I don't know how long it took, but Anthony breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew from this mysterious and wonderful state.

Although he has always commanded the army to march and fight, Anthony's cultivation has never fallen. And his hard work was not in vain, the last realm of refining and refining qi was getting closer and closer to him, and the loosening of the bottleneck could already be clearly felt.

Last night was just like countless nights in the past, crossing my knees in bed, meditating and practicing. But I didn't expect to enter such a wonderful realm.

"Is this a peculiar sight that breaks through the bottleneck?"

Although Anthony withdrew from his cultivation state, he still maintained his original cross-kneeled posture and asked in a muttered voice.

Of course, he wasn't really talking to himself, although there was no one around, he knew that there was a little white in the sea.

"Of course not!"

Xiao Bai categorically denied his speculation, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Whether the bottleneck is broken through or not is a matter of how high or low the cultivation realm is. But the vision you just saw, or to be more precise, the perception, is a matter of state of mind. Generally speaking, there is only a chance for such a situation to arise when faced with a great ascension, and only a chance. Your kid is only in the middle stage of refining and refining qi, and you can actually encounter insights, and this luck is enough to make people jealous. ”

Anthony was indifferent and didn't think there was anything to be surprised about.

"The bottleneck in the later stage of refining and refining gas is as thin as a piece of window paper, which can be broken when poked. I don't seem to be much worse off from the great realm ascension you said now, is it necessary to be so surprised? ”

Xiaobai pursed his lips and did not speak.

Anthony actually didn't know that the great realm that Xiaobai said was definitely not as simple as he thought.

Xiaobai didn't intend to explain, and he didn't have a chance to explain, because there was a clear knock on the door.

"Anthony, are you up?"

It was Princess Arlinna's voice.

Anthony looked up and saw that it was already bright outside the window, but it was already the next morning.

"Get up, you wait for me."

Outside, Princess Arlina said happily, "That's good! You usually wake up early, but you got up so late today, I thought you didn't want to go shopping with me! You know, you promised me yesterday. ”

When Anthony heard this, he couldn't help but hang out a few black lines in his head, and the action of washing and finishing also sped up a few points.

Shopping with a woman, even if it is with a big beauty you like, in the eyes of the male compatriots in Xiaobai's world, it is a terrifying thing that cannot be resisted.

Anthony didn't know why this was happening, but anyway, for him, it was a lighthearted and pleasing thing for him to accompany Princess Arlina shopping.

It's because Yalina is gentle like water, empathetic, and never makes people feel embarrassed. Or because of the difference in human customs between the two worlds, Anthony does not know.

The two walked side by side on the streets of Mourning, and Arina looked at Anthony from time to time, which made him very strange.

"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face that hasn't been washed? ”

Her Royal Highness shook her head and furrowed her beautiful eyebrows.

"It's not. I think you're a little different today than you used to be. ”

Anthony touched his nose, puzzled.

"What's the difference?"

"It's just a feeling, if you want to ask what's different, I can't answer it all at once." Arina shook her head again, thoughtful.

She hazy felt that Anthony in the past was like the rising sun, warm and warm, and very comfortable. Although Anthony is the same enthusiasm today, it is like a layer of mist, and there is a hint of coolness in the warmth.

Anthony saw that she was distressed, couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair, and said with a smile: "If you can't think of it, then don't think about it, anyway, I'm still me, and I won't become another monster after all." ”

Arina looked at his smile and found the familiar feeling of being as warm as jade before, and her heart was relieved.

"Well, maybe I'm too careful."

With that, he took Anthony's arm and walked to one of the busiest streets in town.

Anthony's glorious army had been conquering and occupying the town of Morning for nearly two months, and under his strict orders, the army rarely disturbed the people. After a long time, the local residents also let go of their trembling mood and started their work and life again.

The ruler on the head has changed, and it is not a big event. For the small-town civilians living at the bottom, no matter how big things are, they can't compare to earning money to fill their stomachs.

The street where the two walked was like this, the stalls that should be opened were still open, and the stalls that should be sold loudly were sold. The stalls are dense, and there are also many customers. The price is all over the sky, and the money is paid back on the ground, so it's not lively.

Everything is the same as it was under the Riga Empire.

Princess Arlina was in high spirits today, holding Anthony's hand, looking here and there, touching everything, seeing everything was novel, and looking at everything was interesting.

Anthony naturally won't be interested in the things that are sold at the stalls, but if the people he likes are happy, he will of course be happy from the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on one side of the street. The commotion spread rapidly, and soon, as if by magic, the whole street fell silent for an instant.

Not knowing what was happening, Arina and Anthony turned their heads away and watched quietly.

The flow of people in the street slowly parted to both sides, and a group of brightly armored soldiers, escorting several people, was passing through the middle of the street where people had moved away.

The soldiers who appeared here were, of course, all soldiers of the glorious empire, Anthony's men. The few people who were escorted were men and women, and among them was an old man with gray hair. All of them had unkempt hair and clothes, wounds on their bodies, and blood on their faces.

Arlina could clearly see the townspeople on the streets, with pity and anger on their faces.

Mercy is for the few who are escorted, and anger is, of course, for the warriors of the glorious empire.

Anthony glanced at Her Royal Highness the Princess, sighed in his heart, and waved his hand to stop the group of soldiers.

"Who are they? What's going on? ”

Seeing that someone was blocking the way, those soldiers reflexively pulled out their weapons and waited for the battle. When I looked up, I saw that it was the great general Anthony and the imperial princess Arina, and they almost fell to their knees in fright.

"Great, great, great, general, the last general doesn't, I don't know it's you......"

The warrior who looked like a small leader hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down with a thud, and stammered in his mouth.

Anthony stretched out his hand and dragged it, and the little leader stood up involuntarily.

"He who does not know is not guilty, and you need not be afraid. What happened to these people? But what happened? ”

The little leader saw Anthony's kind face, and he really didn't mean to blame. Only then did he stabilize his mind and answer his question.

"General Hui, these people attacked our patrol and wounded several brothers. He was defeated and caught by us, and was about to be escorted back to the camp and handed over to the commander to send him down. ”

This answer was not too unexpected for Anthony, and Princess Arlina listened to it, but her face was unbearable.

"This person is so old, how can he ......?"

When the little leader saw Her Royal Highness the princess asking questions, he didn't dare to refute. Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Anthony said indifferently: "What you want to say, you don't have to say it." ”

The little leader plucked up his courage and said to Princess Athena: "Your Royal Highness, you don't know anything. This old thing...... The old man doesn't look old, he is more fierce than the young man. A brother saw that he was old and moved with compassion, who expected that he found an opportunity and stabbed him fiercely, almost not dying on the spot. ”

Arina let out a soft cry and covered her mouth with her hand, incredulous.

"The two countries are at war, and it's the military that fights. But it is not only the soldiers who hate the enemy. ”

Even though it was the woman he loved in front of him, Anthony still had a cold tone in his tone. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene he had seen yesterday in that mysterious state.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. Where there is a cause, there is an effect. The Riga Empire invaded us, we blocked it and counterattacked back. That's cause and effect. We defeated this small town of Mourning, and the inhabitants of the town hated us and attacked our soldiers, which is also cause and effect. ”

Anthony pointed to the men, and finally put his hand on the old man. Princess Arina noticed that the strange strangeness of the morning had returned, and Anthony had become cold instead of cold. Looking at those injured town residents, it was like looking at a few ants, without a little emotion.

"This old man wounded our warrior and tried to kill him. Of course, we, the valiant fighters, will knock him to the ground, and there will be further interrogation. All of this is also cause and effect. ”

"Our glorious empire is at peace with others and has no quarrel with others, but the Riga Empire has blatantly invaded us. There is no reason for this, but God does not pay attention to it. This old man may be in danger of his life after this injury, and Heaven will not show mercy either. This is the will of heaven and the destiny of heaven! There has never been mercy in this heaven and earth, and people in the world can only rely on themselves to survive. If you want to control your fate, you can only follow the laws of heaven and earth and seek truth wholeheartedly! ”

As soon as the words fell, a thunderbolt fell from the clear sky, and it suddenly exploded, but it instantly sank above Anthony's head.

At this moment, Anthony is a treasure, without joy or sorrow, and has entered a mystery that words cannot describe.
