——In the dark nothingness, Zhang Liang sat quietly.

He lowered his head and made no sound. Yan Ling's ancient book was spread out in front of him, and he opened page 325 alone, and his own blood was still solidified on the yellowed paper.

Three feet in front of him, another person sat in the same quiet meditation. He was dressed in a dark slate blue robe, with sleeveless arms, only wrist guards, a delicate dagger studded with gems pinned to his waist, and an ancient Persian hat on his head, with a swan feather on the brim of the hat, a symbol of nobility. The man's costume is very peculiar, but what remains unchanged is the messy silver hair and the faint smile on the young face.

His eyes were deep and flat, looking at Zhang Liang three feet away, not in a hurry, nor impatient. Until that moment, for no reason, Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly trembled. He woke up, slowly opened his unconscious eyes, and looked at the young man sitting three feet away from him, and the endless darkness and nothingness around him, still so strange, but his heart was not surprised.

Just like before, every time he came here. "Long time no see." The man looked at Zhang Liang, who had just woken up and was confused, and smiled softly, "...... Long time no see. Zhang Liang subconsciously replied, but in fact, he didn't even see the other party's face clearly, and he didn't know where he was. Just after waking up from the coma, he answered the voice that greeted him very subconsciously. It was as if he was familiar with the scene...... At least it feels familiar......

But when his vague vision gradually became clearer, and his eyes finally saw the man's face clearly, he was slightly startled. The man in front of him turned out to be exactly the same as himself. However, the man glanced at the shallow surprise between Zhang Liang's eyebrows, and continued to smile and say to himself.

"You haven't been here since the last time you decided on summoning. Snubbed me so much, but for the first time in more than 20 years, that woman has influenced you a lot. "Have I been here before?" Listening to the man's words, Zhang Liang received a lot of information, but he couldn't distinguish his thoughts for a while, so he could only ask subconsciously.

"I can't go through these questions for you every time. And now that the situation is unique, there is no time for us to talk nonsense. The man frowned slightly, then stretched his eyebrows again, and said to Zhang Liang with a soft face.

"You don't have any memories here, so let go of all the doubts in your mind...... You can only ask me one last question now, and then we're going to get down to business. ”

"Last question......" Zhang Liang looked hesitant, and then finally asked, "What is this place?" The man laughed lightly, looked into Zhang Liang's puzzled eyes, and said in a deep voice. The other side of the soul, the end of consciousness. ”

The man saw that the doubts in Zhang Liang's eyes were deepening, and they were still the same as before. But this time he didn't let Zhang Liang think about it anymore, but sighed lightly, and said directly: "Okay, let's get down to business." ”

"Blood is spitting up on the pages, and the danger you have encountered this time is unprecedented...... I've been waiting for you here for so long, but there's really nothing I can do until you're seriously injured and unconscious. After all, I can't drag you here......"

"Blood?" Zhang Liang's eyes trembled for a moment, and then followed the man's eyes to look at the ancient book of words and spirits spread out in front of him. The first thing that came to mind was the solidified red on the page. Zhang Liang suddenly recalled everything that had happened before, as well as the serious injuries he had suffered, and the thick blood that had been vomited many times. Only then did he realize that his body was already very weak, but after subconsciously taking a deep breath, he suddenly found that his body was very stable, and he did not feel any pain or injury at all.

It was as if everything that was surging in my mind was just a dream. "Don't doubt it, what you've experienced is true – it's just that when you're here, your consciousness and senses can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood." The man noticed the subtle change in Zhang Liang's eyes, and he didn't hesitate to speak out to solve his doubts. It seems that he is the person who knows Zhang Liang best, and he can see through Zhang Liang's mind at a glance.

"However, everything is false, and what truth and falsehood can there be in this world?" The man paused for a moment, then sighed softly. "It's all true......" Zhang Liang's mouth groaned repeatedly, his expression became more and more excited and frightened, and he suddenly exclaimed, "Then the candle dragon-"

"Calm down." The man raised his hand and made a gentle stroke, interrupting Zhang Liang's surprise, and then his eyes became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's take a look at the situation outside first......" "You have been unconscious for only ten minutes, but the situation outside has changed dramatically." ”

As he finished speaking, the man grabbed his backhand and pulled out the dagger pinned to his waist. As soon as the cold light came out, the edge was revealed. It is a dagger about seven inches long and with a single edge, with an eye-sized sapphire embedded in the pure gold handle, and the whole body is carved with a pattern that symbolizes time, and the shape is extremely exquisite.

With a wave of one hand, the man threw the delicate dagger directly into the dark void outside his body. After flying nine meters, the sharp blade actually cut a bright gap in the void. White seeps out of it, and the gap extends outwards until it becomes a circular window nearly nine meters wide. The figure of the dagger quietly disappeared, the white light gradually faded, and a clear and complete picture appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them.

That's the outside world, the real-time picture of Qianjiangling at this moment! It was as if the dagger just now had been slashed in the gap between the two dimensional spaces, so the outside could be seen from the inside. However, at this moment, Zhang Liang didn't have time to be surprised, the dagger and the mystery of this place. When he saw the real-time picture in the mysterious window, his eyes, his consciousness, were all filled with shock.

The familiar and strange warriors, the giant beast that bloomed with all its strength, the huge and magnificent lion totem, the holy gold that roamed between heaven and earth and competed with the candle dragon - the shocking and magnificent scenes were really amazing.

"Do you see clearly?" The man looked back, stared at Zhang Liang's eyes full of horror, and said softly, "That's Arthur." "He's much stronger than you think—a very smart and calm man."

"So, that form...... What is the awakening? Zhang Liang gasped unnaturally, his voice trembled and asked slowly. He stared at Arthur, who had been rejuvenated, and his first reaction was to "wake up", but he felt that something seemed wrong.

"That's not an awakening." The corners of the man's mouth turned up slightly, and his eyes flickered, and he said, "That's 'then—the holy golden light dissipated from the restless wind, and the majestic lion totem gradually disappeared from the earth.

But the warrior who had inherited from the millennium was still standing there, standing in the center of the storm in Qianjiangling, and the crown above his head was still dazzling.

"Father, is this your power......" Arthur stared at the sword of the oath and the shield of the oath on his hands, tears of heartburn brewing deep in his pupils. This was the first time he had unleashed the power contained in the artifact, in order to inherit the will of the Lionheart King flowing in his blood, and to go to the day of the legendary oath.
