Chapter 19 - Going their Own Way
By the time the two of them sobered up a little, it was almost evening.
While using Xuan Li to relieve the alcohol in his body, Li Tian asked, "What are your plans next?" ”
Chen Yuanran's face was still flushed, and his words were still a little unclear, "Me? I'm going...... Find a way home, go back...... Find Qing'er. ”
"How to get home?" Li Tian frowned, "Do you have any clues?" ”
Chen Yuanran hesitated, "Actually, no, it's just my guess." ”
"Guess?"
"Before the master died, I mean Chen Yuren's master, the master of true knowledge, said a word." Chen Yuanran also dissipated his drunken spirit, and his expression became more solemn.
Hearing Chen Yuanran mention this, Li Tian began to recall the description of the senior brother that day, and the master seemed to only say one sentence, "This is the sky that will kill me", and passed the position of head to the senior brother.
"It's just that what he said, most of us here couldn't hear it."
"Shielded by providence?" Li Tian put forward his own conjecture.
"That's what I thought too." Chen Yuanran also nodded, "But the master sent a voice to me alone, asking me to go to the True Knowledge Pavilion to get a book." ”
"Books?"
Chen Yuanran took it out of the space ring, it was not a memory jade slip, but a real paper book, which looked extremely shabby, and the title of the book on the cover was blurred, leaving only the word "selection" at the beginning and the word "fight" at the bottom.
Chen Yuanran didn't shy away from Li Tian's intentions, and put it on the table when Li Tian's face was turned over, and the content inside was almost unreadable, only a few names could still be seen.
"These names...... I seem to have a little impression......" Li Tian touched his chin and lowered his head to search for the memories in his mind.
"Of course, there will be an impression that these people are all arrogant figures thousands of years ago." Chen Yuanran pointed to one of the names called "Wu Tingciao", "This is the first person to view our true knowledge, the powerhouse of the Tianyi Realm. ”
Li Tian seemed to understand something, and his face suddenly became solemn.
"He Yousheng, the first sect master of Xingcheng Mountain, a powerhouse of the Tianyi Realm."
"Liu slowly, listen to the first pavilion master of the Rain Pavilion, and he is also a powerhouse in the Tianyi Realm."
"Jiang He, the first person in charge of your Tianxuanmen............"
Chen Yuanran had obviously done some investigation in advance, and introduced the above names to Li Tian one by one, about twenty names, more than ten were Chinese names, eight of which were the founding ancestors of the eight major sects.
"These people, without exception, are all Tianyi Realm powerhouses, and those English names, I guess they are all cloud powerhouses on Xiqi's side." Chen Yuanran took a sip of spiritual tea to moisten his throat, "This is the same as the original game setting of Boundary Legend. ”
Li Tian also remembered a little after Chen Yuanran's reminder, in the background setting of the Legend of the Boundary, there were many Tianyi Realm, Cloud Mages and Knights thousands of years ago, known as the Golden Age, but after these powerhouses fell silent, the two continents have never had a powerhouse of this level for thousands of years. And in recent years, countless geniuses have poured out, reminiscent of a thousand years ago......
There is no doubt that the so-called geniuses that have emerged in recent years are the majority of gamers, and the game has also opened up the Tianyi Realm, Cloud Mage and Knight to players, although no one has reached this realm in the past two years.
In fact, this is a normal setting that many games do, when you play some adventure games, you may start with a backstory that says something like "a brave man is born here, save the world", and then ask you to enter your ID, in order to portray the player as a potential new star, a future overlord, to meet the player's inner needs.
Because there is nothing special about the background setting, Li Tian didn't pay much attention to it when he played the game.
But now that he has crossed into the world of boundary legends, the appearance of this book has reminded Li Tian of a big problem.
What happened to a group of strong men who were dominant, cultivated to the sky, but there was no mention of it in the background setting. The higher the realm of the cultivators, the longer their lifespan will be, how can this group of Heavenly One Realm, Cloud Mage, and Cloud Knight disappear silently. In the background, it is said that these strong men are silent, are they dying? Still is...... Killed.
And why, there have been no top powerhouses in the two continents for thousands of years.
Li Tian had some thoughts in his heart, but he still looked at Chen Yuanran and wanted to listen to the other party's opinion first.
"So what's your guess?"
"There is no record of when this book was included in the Book Pavilion, but there are two words on the cover, which can actually explain a lot of things." Chen Yuanran analyzed his thoughts, "The word 'fight' shows that these people are at least in a state of struggle for some reason, and the word 'choosing' is probably the reason why they fight." ”
Li Tian nodded, similar to the judgment in his heart.
Chen Yuanran continued to analyze, "My divine calculations can't calculate any information, which means that this is definitely related to the will of heaven. Something worthy of such a group of peerless powerhouses to 'fight for' obviously has unimaginable value...... Such as immortality, such as ...... Go to another world. ”
"So you're going to find something like that?"
Chen Yuanran nodded, "This is the only hope I can see now." ”
"By the way, by the way, how powerful is your god, as long as it has nothing to do with the will of heaven, you can understand everything?" Li Tian asked with some curiosity, "If it's inconvenient, it's okay if you don't say it." ”
"It's not an exaggeration to say that you know everything, but in fact, when you know everything, maybe the future will change." Chen Yuanran did not evade, and said frankly to Li Tian, "For example, when I know that you will appear in Jiangcheng, my decision to go to Jiangcheng or not will have a different future." ”
"So the results of divination also have a certain impact on the future, in other words, you can't get an accurate answer, just a general result?"
"That's right, I can know that you are in Jiangcheng, but I can't know that you will appear in this teahouse, because as long as I make the decision not to go to Jiangcheng, you will not be brought here by me."
Li Tian nodded, indicating that he probably understood what he meant. Although he fell silent, there was too much information in Li Tian's mind now, although he felt as if he had caught something, but he felt that something was missing.
"Perhaps...... Isn't it the same thing? Li Tian's tone was uncertain, "Actually, according to the fantasy novels I've read before, maybe they are fighting for the position of Providence and replacing them?" ”
"If it is assumed that they are going to replace the will of heaven, then it is not difficult to understand that there has been no Tianyi Realm and Cloud powerhouse for so many years." Li Tian analyzed it on his own, "Because I don't want to be replaced by the same way." ”
Chen Yuanran listened and thought about it, "What you said also makes sense, but why would Providence attack the powerhouses of our two sects?" The powerhouses of the Tianhe Realm and the Returning to Truth Realm are theoretically not a threat to the will of Heaven, and since the reason for the attack is because the two of us are from another world, why not attack us directly? ”
Li Tian shook his head, there were too many questions, and he didn't have a reasonable answer for a while, and his previous speculation was only based on his past experience of reading novels, after all, many of the settings of the game Legend of the Boundary were also planned based on classic fantasy works.
He stared at the book on the table and said loudly, there are too many strange things about this book, why did the True Knowledge Concept mainly let Chen Yuanran take this book, why was there only a person's name on the book, and why......
Li Tian suddenly felt his heartbeat skip a beat, "Do you know who the author of the book is?" ”
Chen Yuanran shook his head, "It's too old to be verified, and it doesn't appear in the book." ”
"No, not necessarily." Li Tian denied, "There are only names on this book, and it is obvious that everything else has been erased by Providence." But the question is, why are there only names? There is no reason for providence to deliberately leave clues for us. ”
Chen Yuanran pondered Li Tian's words, and seemed to understand a little, "What do you mean?" ”
"This book may be made by Providence, or perhaps these names are what Providence wants us to see, otherwise you should not be able to hear the words of your master."
Chen Yuanran was soaked in cold sweat for a while.
…………
…………
The two finally decided to part ways at the teahouse, and Chen Yuanran would go to various parts of the mainland to collect clues about the struggle thousands of years ago, and he originally invited Li Tian to join him, but Li Tian refused.
Chen Yuanran didn't force it, he also promised that if he found anything, he would find a way to pass the news to him. If he could find a way to go back, he would rush back to Xijiang City to find Li Tian as soon as possible.
The two reached an agreement, and each other seemed to be in a much better mood, probably this is what it feels like to meet old acquaintances in a foreign country.
"Take care." Li Tian clenched his fists and met Chen Yuanran, which really relieved his suppressed mood a lot, but it also brought a lot of new confusion.
Chen Yuanran patted Li Tian on the shoulder, "You also take care, don't see you next time, you will become a small mound." ”
When he said goodbye, it was already night, Li Tian did not relax his vigilance, he was assassinated only a few days ago, although the injury was almost better at this time, but it was not in the best condition, if he encountered an enemy with such strength as last time, in such a black clothes, Li Tian's confidence was not great.
Cautiously rushing back to the Anges Mansion, Li Tian watched and listened to all directions, and soon found out sadly...... Whatever you worry about, what comes.
In the dark night, in four directions, the four men in black walked in unison and slowly leaned over.
"Little brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The black-clothed man behind him applauded and took off his mask, and Li Tian looked over to see that it was the owner of the Spirit Fruit Shop that day.
"I didn't expect the boss to take it personally, after all...... You died here yourself, so I guess it's too good for me. Li Tian's expression was a little bitter, but the words in his mouth were merciless.
The boss's face sank obviously, "Last time, the four Cloud Lake Realms didn't kill you as a little ghost, and this time the four Condensation Realms, I don't believe you can run again." ”
"Do it!" As soon as the boss's password came out, he himself rushed towards Li Tian, and people from the other three directions also moved at the same time, pointing directly at Li Tian.
"Big brother, if you don't come out, I'm going to die." Li Tian simply sat on the ground and shouted weakly.
Anyone else? The boss hesitated for a moment, and his soul power scattered in all directions, but he found nothing.
"Hmph, I want to be clever before I die." Obviously, the people in black were extremely dissatisfied with Li Tian's words and deeds, and the monstrous momentum seemed to chop Li Tian into meatloaf.
It's just that when they were still dozens of steps away from Li Tian, the four of them couldn't take a single step.
"Yes...... Who is it? The boss tried to break free, but found that he couldn't move, as did everyone else. Able to restrain four people in the Condensation Realm at the same time......
At least a powerhouse in the Position Star Realm!
"No...... I don't know if it...... Which senior shot, please bypass the next one, I ...... I am willing to dedicate all my magic weapons and spirit stones. The boss's voice trembled a little, and he no longer had the idea of resisting.
"How do you know I'm here?" A voice came from the darkness, accompanied by a series of footsteps.
"When you patted me on the shoulder, I noticed a little fluctuation of mystical power, at first I didn't understand your intentions, but when I saw them, I understood." Li Tian sat on the ground, looked at the familiar faces who came over and said with a smile, "You are afraid that something will happen to me and make a Xuanli mark on me." ”
It was Chen Yuanran, who had been separated for less than ten minutes.
"So you guessed I'd come?" Chen Yuanran was a little puzzled.
"You're a god, I'll be ambushed, can I hide it from you?"
"Then how can you rest assured that I will shoot on time, and I will not be afraid of being beaten to death when I sit on the ground?"
"Since you didn't make a sound to warn me of the danger of going back, and you are obviously confident that you can deal with the enemy I will encounter, then why should I waste my strength?" Li Tian's tone was quite proud.
Chen Yuanran looked a little sullen, "I didn't expect that my god operator would be counted by others one day, I wanted to see your strength, but I didn't expect that I would be tested myself." ”
The four black-clothed people listened to the communication between the two, looking familiar, and their hearts were cold, and they all wanted Li Tian and Chen Yuanran to beg for mercy. But when they heard the sound of breaking the air, the four of them collapsed on the ground at the same time, and there was no sound.
Li Tian's eyes froze, although he had estimated Chen Yuanran's strength, he obviously didn't expect the other party to kill the four Condensing Realms casually like killing chickens.
"But there's still something wrong with your reasoning, Conan-san." Chen Yuanran walked up to Li Tian and stretched out his hand to pull Li Tian up from the ground, "As long as I have a trace of ill intentions towards you, your reasoning will not be valid." ”
Li Tian patted the ash on his clothes, and said without raising his head, "I believe in you." ”
After a moment of silence, Chen Yuanran asked out loud, "Why?" ”
"In this world, only you can understand me, and only we are the real community with a shared future." Li Tian looked at Chen Yuanran, "Isn't this what you told me?" ”
Chen Yuanran was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, laughed for a long time before stopping, he waved his hand, turned around, and disappeared into the darkness without saying a word.
"Speaking of which, this sentence seems to be a bit gay." Seeing that the other party had already left, Li Tian said to himself, he squatted next to the four corpses, touched the space ring of the four people, and happily hummed a small tune and walked towards the Anges Mansion.
The two men went their separate ways and did not look back.
