Chapter 178: Between Eternities (Part II)
"I want to go home."
"You can't do it, you're dead. This world is a world of souls, I dare say it's not hell, but it's just a small closed world, this world preserves our souls after death, and it also locks us off from going out. Qi Hao said lightly, "You will never be able to return to your hometown." β
Zhang Xiguang looked at the man in front of him who had been living in this world for a long, long time, was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "I don't want to go out. β
Going to the outside world and not being able to go back to his home is something that Qi Hao doesn't know.
"That's good...... Huh, you don't have to be too pessimistic, this world is actually quite good, just like a fantasy land, there are all kinds of ordinary people and magnificent scenery! If I'm not mistaken, this dynasty is called the Tang Dynasty now, right? This is really a good dynasty, and China is quite strong. Hundreds of years ago, a Tang Dynasty man came in and seized the world control room, reconstructed the whole world, and turned this place into the appearance of the Tang Dynasty. Qi Haoyu didn't notice the despair in Zhang Xiguang's eyes, and the light that slowly lit up with his words, "If you are lucky enough, or if you are strong enough, as long as you seize the world control room, you can also adjust this world to your era, and even recreate the city you live in." By the way, what dynasty has come out there now? β
Zhang Xiguang didn't hear Qi Hao's last words at all, and his whole body became excited, because he heard Qi Haoyu say that he had the opportunity to adjust this world to his own era.
"I ...... To seize the world control room. β
"Huh? Don't be impulsive, you know how strong the master of the world is?! β
Zhang Xiguang couldn't listen to Qi Hao's persuasion at all, and his firmness was already on the road he was about to embark on.
And then he grew up at an incredible rate! He was not strong when he entered this world, but the obsession in his heart burned into a fire, and finally built into a prairie fire! In the end, the whole world was burned in one go!
Zhang Xiguang succeeded, he seized the world control room, and he successfully stood on the top of the world in this small world.
Then, the world changed dramatically, and it became a magnificent world that no one could have imagined no matter what.
This change is hundreds of years.
With this change, Zhang Xiguang wants to be eternal!
He stands in the middle of eternity, spreading the future over the earth.
Here, he finally returned to the hometown he had been thinking about day and night, even if it came at the cost of leaving everyone but him away.
However, the flame of obsession will eventually be extinguished.
In this world, there is no eternity.
It's a pity that Zhang Xiguang realized that it was too late.
β¦β¦
"Hell!"
Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin are already strong enough, Ruan Yin is already close to the Heavenly Rank, and now there is no obstacle to using the power of the Heavenly Rank Realm in advance by relying on the special nature of this world, and Yan Yuan's imitation of his adoptive father Yan Lianshan is inexplicably excessive, although the realm of these two people in reality is less than the Heavenly Rank, but in this world, the two of them are genuine Heavenly Rank!
However, these two skillfully coordinated True Heaven Rank joined forces, and they were actually restrained everywhere in the battle with Zhang Xiguang, and they couldn't give full play to the advantages of the two of them at all.
No, there was no advantage from beginning to end, the two of them were at a disadvantage from beginning to end when facing Zhang Xiguang, their slashes were ineffective, their speed could not keep up, and their strength was not enough...... All means seemed to have no meaning in front of Zhang Xiguang, and this was still based on the fact that this monster had not fought back.
He seemed to be asleep, with no expression on his face, just instinctively fighting back at them!
"It's worthy of being recognized as a 'monster'......" Yan Yuan lowered his voice, stretched out his hand to pull Ruan Yin up, and then said in a somewhat heavy tone, "This is also too terrifying." β
"I can confirm that my Candle Jiuyin really hit this guy, but Rao is still not moving at all...... Ruan Yin's tone was also full of amazement, and while patting the ashes on his body, he stood up with Yan Yuan's outstretched hand, "My mother." β
Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin stopped their attacks for the time being, because none of their previous attacks worked, and they needed to take a break for a while and think carefully about their next countermeasures! But the problem came again, Ruan Yin in the state of Hades couldn't keep up with his speed, Yan Yuan in the state of Yan Lianshan couldn't cut his skin, and even under the bombardment of Candle Jiuyin, he could be unscathed, just this level of defense was enough for Yan Yuan to find a way to deal with it!
ββ¦β¦β
However, when Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin stopped attacking, Zhang Xiguang also stopped, and the momentum of the monster that had fallen silent did not weaken in the slightest, but became stronger and stronger as time went by, which also made Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin more and more panicked!
"What to do? Now you can't break through this guy's defenses at all, but if you wait a long time, when he fully recovers his senses, he won't have to fight. Yan Yuan gritted his teeth, and at this time, he suddenly thought of an idea, and turned to Ruan Yin and asked, "Xiaohong, what are the signs of this monster's rampage?" What you feel outside is ......"
"It is the abnormal condensation of the soul, and
Pregnant with a great tendency to destroy! Ruan Yin frowned, "I don't know what will happen in the end, maybe it's a devastating explosion, or maybe it's a huge soul monster that will destroy this world, and then the real world." I'm not familiar with the changes at the soul level, so I'm not sure what will happen! β
"But anyway, it's this monster that is storing up the soul, right?" Yan Yuan snapped his fingers, "In other words, he devoured a large number of souls that didn't belong to him, right?" Is it possible that he is now under the influence of a large number of souls in him that do not belong to him? β
ββ¦β¦ Are you influenced by the souls you have gathered? β
"Uh...... Haven't I had enough! If I had collected enough soul capital, would I still be used here to be beaten by him?! Yan Yuan said fiercely: "If the soul strength is the same, I will definitely be able to press this guy to the ground in turn!" β
"Hey, wake up, this guy doesn't have his mind yet! It stands to reason that the reason why this guy was able to ascend to the throne and become the master of the world was because he pressed the previous master of the world to the ground! Ruan Yin also blinked his eyes and reminded Yan Yuan: "In other words, it is very likely that he will single-handedly kill his opponent with that soul strength under your soul strength!! β
"......" Yan Yuan fell silent, and then shook his head desperately: "How is it possible!" How could it be! I don't admit that there are monsters of this level in this world! β
"Wake up, this guy in front of you is called a monster."
"Mayay!"
Just when Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin couldn't control themselves and talked about cross talk, Zhang Xiguang tilted his head slightly, and then stared at the two of them, his eyes seemed to have recovered a little brilliance, but there was still a trace of doubt in this look, and he asked softly: "......Who are you?" Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin? β
"Huh?" Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin were stunned on the spot, and then, like an electric shock, one jumped out to the left and the other to the right, while Yan Yuan then stepped back from his heart and asked at the same time, "Do you know us?" Are you a watermelon? β
- Are Zhang Xigua and Zhang Xiguang the same personality? Are their memories shared?!
Zhang Xiguang, who was suspected of being a watermelon, tilted his head again, then rubbed his forehead, and said lightly: "I am Zhang Watermelon, but I am also Zhang Xiguang...... Ah, I'm Zhang Xiguang, but my name in this life is Zhang Xigua, and I am a farmer's child. β
- His name before crossing was Zhang Xiguang, and after crossing over, is he called Zhang Watermelon?!
"You two...... Not dead yet, are you? Why is it here? He didn't explain his words, just moved his body slightly, the look on his face slowly recovered, and his body became less stiff and weird, and even the expanding aura before slowly converged, becoming like an ordinary person, so it looked more like a watermelon, he looked at Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin carefully, and asked strangely: "The connection between the soul and the body of the two of you has not been severed, why did you enter this world?" β
"We came in on our own initiative." Yan Yuan thought about it for a while, and felt that they didn't have any chance of winning, so it was better to communicate well with this Zhang Xiguang, who seemed to be a little conscious, "Because we felt the abnormality inside the soul stone outside, we came in to solve this anomaly...... You're running out of it, you know? β
"I can't hold it anymore, well, I know." Zhang Xiguang nodded, then smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to tap his heart, "The soul can expand infinitely, the power of the soul can accumulate infinitely, and the soul without the shackles of the body has infinite possibilities, in theory." In this situation, I am constantly pursuing evolution and eternity, and I want to sustain this world indefinitely...... But over the past 100 years, I've really felt the limit. β
"If I divide the time I control the world into three points, the first third, I am still in a state of exploration, and my control of this world is still a little immature, but despite this, my soul is still evolving rapidly. And the middle third, I have swelled, I have control over this world has been handy, and I can even send a clone to live in this world like this, I was really happy during that time, I have gone through so many years, and finally succeeded in returning to my time, during that time, my main consciousness maintained the world, and the clone experienced life, and the control was quite stable. But when the time came to the last third, I couldn't maintain that balance. Zhang Xiguang paused, then shrugged his shoulders, "I became ...... Either the main consciousness is asleep and completely becomes an NPC, or you can't control any clone, and can only stay in the world control room to adjust the world full of holes. It's strange that I'm getting stronger, but the world and myself have more and more problems. β
"Later, I realized that when I controlled the world control room, the world became one with me! When my state deteriorates, there will be countless holes in this world...... And the reason why the world is getting more and more difficult to manage is because I have more and more problems! β
"The soul cannot be eternal."
"There are many souls in this world who have survived for 10,000 years, and some of them are even spirit beasts and gods who have survived from the ancient mythological era to the present. They proved to me that souls can live for a long time, that they are preserved after this world has no natural overflow.
There is no difference between a soul and a normal creature at all. But this is not eternal, and souls without carriers are too easily polluted and disturbed! They are sheltered in this soul stone, they have towering trees to protect them from the wind and rain, and when I become the master of the world control room, I am completely tied to the world itself! In other words, I became a tree that sheltered them from the wind and rain! I needed to shelter them from the elements, but I only had a soul, not a body, so I ...... I was quickly contaminated. β
"The anomaly you feel may be the polluted me, in order not to produce more mutations, I gradually increased the time of sleep, and put all my computing power into maintaining this world, trying to maintain this world as much as possible, and eliminate all loopholes before they appear! But lately, I've felt like I'm getting a little out of myself......"
Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin listened to Zhang Xiguang's extremely sincere statement, and both fell silent, to be honest, they didn't think of any way to solve this problem - the only way they thought of was to kill Zhang Xiguang, but now it seems that as long as he doesn't want to die, he can't do this at all! But is he really willing to die like this?
- Is his self-sacrificing act of maintaining the world really selfless? Why do I feel that the driving force behind all this is selfishness?
- He created this world for his own selfish desires, and this world only satisfies his own selfish desires!
"I think that if I open my mouth to persuade you to give up your death and let someone else replace you as the master of the world and change the world, you will definitely not agree, and you may even kill me."
Yan Yuan said lightly, and the corners of Zhang Xiguang's mouth were slightly upturned, and he did not make any comments on Yan Yuan's words.
"But even then, I have to say, there's no other way. You yourself said that the soul cannot be eternal, give up, the world has come to its end, and the world cannot be eternal. β
You may feel like you're standing in the middle of eternity, but it's just an illusion.
Eternity is a beautiful dream, which can be shattered and turned into nothingness at any time because of waking up from a dream.
- Yan Yuan understands these, and Zhang Xiguang understands even more.
But understanding does not mean that you have to accept your fate.
Zhang Xiguang shook his head, and then the aura on his body swelled again.
"Nothing can be eternal, the wizard who wanted to refine the elixir of immortality finally died in the arms of the woman he wanted to save, and the hero who resisted the natural disaster for thousands of years finally failed to prevent the disappearance of the three immortal islands...... Eternity, eternal life, these things are the eternal leitmotif of mankind, and stupid human beings are chasing these things that no longer exist. Ruan Yin sighed and suddenly said, "Why do you always think that you can get eternity? Don't you think there's no point in such a thing as eternity?! It took me my whole life just trying to get over the moment. I have never pursued eternity, because I know that I am not qualified to pursue this fantasy, my time is limited, but my world is big, and the end of my life is near, but my attachment lies in the memories of the past and the future beyond. β
A wonderful atmosphere also began to permeate her, and even Zhang Xiguang frowned slightly when he looked at Ruan Yin.
"I don't want to die, but I don't want to pursue eternity either."
"You may stand in the middle of eternity, but I stand in front of eternity, and I will not push open this door, because I know that there is nothing but nothingness behind this door! So I will go over eternity, and I will go from before eternity, to after eternity. β
Zhang Xiguang stared at Ruan Yin deadly, he felt a mortal threat from her, he was a little incomprehensible, in this world he was an existence beyond the Heavenly Rank, even if Ruan Yin was promoted to the Heavenly Rank at this moment, it would not pose any threat to him...... So where does this threat come from? He couldn't think of it, so he decided not to delve into it anymore!
These two people flew like death birds to report his death to him, but Zhang Xiguang didn't want to die yet!
"You don't want to seek eternity, but I want to."
"The door of eternity that you won't push open, you say there's nothing behind it, but what if it exists?"
"I won't agree with your philosophy, but I respect you...... I will defeat you and find the true eternity! β
- Even if I fail in the end, I will die with the eternity I seek!
This is the collision of ideas, this is the collision of souls, this is the end of everything.
Yan Yuan looked at Zhang Xiguang and Ruan Yin, who began to confront, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Clickβ"
At this moment, just as it was about to explode, the sound of something breaking suddenly rang out.
The three people present were stunned in unison, and then looked in the direction where the voice sounded at the same time...... That is, in front of Zhang Xiguang.
Then, a sword tore through the space, and a man in a flowing robe suddenly appeared.
Then the whole world was destroyed.
