I looked at the man in front of me who was hanging cross-legged in the air, he was wearing a black costume, his long robe was trimmed with gold, his long inky hair was neatly combed, and his eyebrows were cinnabar, matched with his young and handsome face, like a delicate and immaculate boy.

"It's worthy of being the ghost king, but you found out." He hooked his lower lip and bowed slightly towards Li Qian.

"Who the hell are you?" Li Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, not intending to let go of the slightest detail.

The man didn't seem to intend to reveal the secret right away, but looked at him with interest: "Since you are so smart and have penetrated the secret of this void abyss, you might as well boldly guess my identity." ”

Li Qian didn't answer, it seemed to be thinking, I looked at him with some curiosity, this man couldn't tell his age from his appearance, but listening to him, it seemed that he had really been here for a long time.

Whether or not he's really who he says he is, I don't remember when he's been here, I think he must be extraordinary.

"Dead lady." He turned to look at me, "You seem to be interested in me and have a lot of questions to ask. ”

"I'm really interested in you." I nodded in acknowledgement, "Including this Void Abyss, if I asked, would you tell me the truth?" ”

"If the Ghost King can guess my identity, I will naturally answer according to the truth." He looked at me kindly, a smile flashing across his eyes.

At this time, Li Qian suddenly made a move and shot several runes at the other party, all of which turned into golden light and disappeared in front of him.

"Offended." Li Qian withdrew his hand and stood in place, "I think, I already know who you are." ”

He paused and spoke word by word: "You should be Zhang Heng, the rumored Northern Ghost Emperor who has been missing for a long time. ”

Northern Ghost Emperor Zhang Heng?

I was shocked, I only talked about the Northern Ghost Emperor Yang Yun before, and I had never heard Li Qian mention Zhang Heng's name, but if he was really Zhang Heng, a good Ghost Emperor didn't do it, what would he do in the depths of this abyss?

"Hahahaha...... the man smiled, stretched out his legs, and walked towards us from the void, "It is worthy of being the one who is going to be robbed, and the ghost king is indeed extraordinary. Yes, I am another ghost emperor in the north - Zhang Heng. ”

"It is rumored that you disappeared shortly after becoming the Ghost Emperor, and no one knows your whereabouts, why are you here?" Li Qian frowned slightly.

Zhang Heng smiled faintly: "Do you think I came here on purpose, or was I beaten down?" ”

Li Qian didn't speak.

He continued, "Like you, I also wanted to find out the secrets of the abyss, which is why I came here. But I found that it was a good place and I was a little reluctant to leave. ”

I looked around the void and was a little puzzled: "There's nothing here, what's good." ”

"Who said nothing, isn't there still an abyss demon beast?" Zhang Heng smiled, "What I told you before is absolutely true, it is what I discovered here for many years, but no one has ever been here before, and naturally no one knows." ”

"Do you want us to go out and tell someone when we know?" Somewhere in the void, another batch of demon beasts was born, and then they went to capture those grievances, eat them, and grow them.

He shook his head: "I said it, this is the rule of this world, I already understand it, as for others, I don't want them to know." ”

"And what do you want to do?" I don't understand that this guy always seems to like to play dumb riddles with others, to make people guess what he thinks, or to tease people to talk to him. Since it's so boring that no one has been chatting for a long time, why don't you just go back to the Netherworld and be his ghost emperor again?

"If you want us to know something, just say it." Li Qian opened his mouth at this time, and he looked at Zhang Heng, "I guess you weren't beaten down by anyone, but came here by yourself." ”

Zhang Heng smiled slightly, neither denying nor admitting: "I am a person who likes to explore the truth. There's still a lot I haven't figured out about the world. It has taken me thousands of years to observe, and I have only learned the tip of the iceberg. But I came to you for something else. ”

Li Qian raised his eyebrows: "For the millennium tribulation?" ”

"Not bad." Zhang Heng waved his hand, and the picture in the void changed again, turning into a vast galaxy, "This is the world we live in, in this vast starry sky, the place where we live is just a speck of dust." ”

Then, as the picture zoomed in, I was able to see the familiar, blue planet.

"The human realm, the netherworld, and the heavenly realm are all part of the vast universe, but they are located in different spaces, and they cannot be reached without special chances, nor can they communicate with each other."

Zhang Heng's gestures are constantly changing, as if an excellent lecturer who is proficient in demonstrating PPT is giving us astronomical knowledge popularization.

"Since ancient times, what has communicated more deeply with your human world is our Netherworld, and it is our responsibility as the Ghost Emperor to be ordered to manage a corner of heaven and earth."

At this time, the heavens and the earth began to change color, as if a meteorite flew out of the sky, dyeing a side of the sky red, and flew straight towards the earth.

"Heaven and earth have their own calamities, and every once in a while, they will come to give birth to the old and untimely deaths and the new and suitable rules. And the millennium tribulation is the harbinger of this calamity. ”

Zhang Heng said, turning to look at us: "The thousand-year tribulation we are talking about is not the thousand years that your human world thinks, but the meaning of 'a thousand thousand years'. The universe needs reincarnation, just like those abyssal demon beasts I showed you, absorb resentment, grow, die, and then be reborn from a certain moment, and then absorb resentment...... And so on and so forth. ”

"I have been observing and meditating here from the last millennium until now......," Zhang Heng looked at us, "Your choices will affect the future development." ”

My heart moved slightly, and it was this sentence again.

When we were in Tushan, when the elders asked us to look at the spring, they also expressed a similar meaning: the future is uncertain.

In this case, what is the calamity that Li Qian and I are going to deal with?

"I'm no longer the Ghost Emperor, or rather, I gave up my identity as the Ghost Emperor, came here, and silently became an observer." Zhang Heng's gaze moved between me and Li Qian, "I have been waiting for a thousand years from the last thousand years to the present, but you have appeared as I expected. ”

"You have been talking for a long time, just to tell us that we need to choose the upcoming millennium catastrophe?" Li Qian frowned slightly, "If that's the case, I think you're wasting your time." ”

Zhang Heng smiled: "I just want to remind you that any of your decisions may affect the development of things in the future, since it has been handed down since ancient times, the thousand-year-old ghost king and the corpse lady will be the ones who should be robbed, as an observer, it is natural to inform one or two of the benefits." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled faintly, snapped his fingers, and the void changed again, and two black holes appeared: "Do you want to see some kind of possibility in the future?" ”

Li Qian and I glanced at each other and walked in separately.

I think he should think the same as me, if it's acceptable, if it's a good ending, we'll try to do it, and if there's a bad picture, we'll try to avoid it.

A chill hit me, and I couldn't help but shiver. The inside of the black hole was dark, and it was cold to the bone, and I looked around, but there was no light, where is this?

Standing quietly in place, waiting for changes, my future will not be dark, right?

After a while, the picture really changed, and I could faintly see things.

It seemed to be a very deep cave, and the change in sight meant that I seemed to be walking along the cave.

The light in front of him gradually increased, and the peak turned around, and out of the cave was a red stone pillar, and on the thickest stone pillar in the middle, there was a person locked there.

Who's there? I wanted to see it more clearly, but the image suddenly disappeared, and this feeling of lingering was so annoying that I could have known if I had looked at it more, but now there is nothing.

"I guess, almost." Zhang Heng's voice came, and the surrounding scenery became clear again, and he and Li Qian appeared in my sight.

"I haven't seen anything yet!" I protested.

"It's just a possibility, and if you look at it clearly, it's an established fact." Zhang Heng shook his head, "You remember, the world has the rules of the world, and your decisions will affect the world. ”

"It's like these monsters that devour resentment." He pointed to the side with his hand, "In the past, few demon beasts would go crazy, and even if they did, they would be easily suppressed by the ghost clan. And this time, the monsters are extremely vicious, and I believe you have also suffered a lot from it, because the resentment is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached the time when you are about to lose control. ”

"I don't quite understand." Looking at him dissatisfied, I tilted my head slightly.

Li Qian took over: "Yue'er, it's good to be bold for your husband to explain it for you." ”

Zhang Heng didn't say anything, he continued: "The demon beast devours people's grievances, the resentment is too big, the demon beast loses control, and then attacks the netherworld, because the dead in the netherworld will have a lot of grievances before they are born, this is a cycle. ”

"And as the millennium tribulation approaches, the resentment will become bigger and bigger, and the demon beasts will become more and more ferocious, and the demon beasts we encounter are more powerful than the others, and the ones that are next to each other, that's why." After that, he looked at Zhang Heng, "Am I right?" ”

Zhang Heng nodded: "It's not false at all." And, do you know why the last monster beast looks like a human? ”

I thought for a moment, "Is it because these resentments are human beings that they have shaped its appearance?" ”

"That's right." Zhang Heng said, "The resentment of the human world has been materialized, so your opponent will be the appearance of a human being." This shows that the world has been polluted and needs a new order. If you already understand, you will understand why I say to you that the future is a matter of your choices. ”

"Alright, it's almost time for you to leave." Zhang Heng drew a circle in the void with his hand, "If you go out from here, you can reach the edge of the abyss, and you can also go back, just don't mention what I said here and what I saw here." ”

We nodded, entered the circle, and instantly felt a suction, and when we came to our senses, we were already standing on the edge of the abyss.

"Great, they're back!" Someone shouted. Following the ghost warriors, they rushed over like a tide, surrounded us, carried us back, and threw our bodies into the air from time to time.
