The world is made up of defined concepts of time and space.

There is nothing else outside of this world.

Outside the world, there is a transcendent concept of time and space, a place where nothingness and chaos are intertwined, which cannot be described or demonstrated...... Location.

It's not that I don't want to say it more explicitly, but I can only be so ambiguous; It's not that I don't want to say it more clearly, but I can only be so vague.

Because people who have not seen it in person will not be able to get a truly clear understanding of such a place from a one-sided description.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that there is neither direction nor end here, that is, existence and non-existence.

There was only a black gap, "nailed" here like a solid dimensional crack. It's like a void ferry that has dropped its anchor, opening up the only truth in the chaos of nothingness.

But that's about it.

Because matter and energy can no longer maintain a concrete form of existence here, only the purest and transcendent spirit can continue to exist and maintain the will to think.

However, this place, which should have no time, is shrouded in a faint clear light, but "eternity" still descends in this gap, and it is almost solidified and eternal, maintaining the state of the gap from the outside world.

- It seems that no matter what kind of mutation happens, it will not change, and it will directly make the future eternal calamity never come again.

So, I don't know how long it was, and finally ushered in the end of the journey.

"It's going to be over......"

……

……

This time it was finally no longer a half-dreaming mental state, or a trance moment like another world.

But...... Mu Xiu felt worse than those two, terrible!

In the past, it was a crossing process that I couldn't realize at all, but this time it was thanks to the eternal power of Penglai Mountain Kaguya-

Let him experience it very well, in that almost infinite extension of eternity, sober and boring and painfully feel the long subjective time slowly passing, but the feeling of not being able to do anything.

It was far worse than being in the sea of nothingness, because there really wasn't anything there, or because everything was ready, there was nothing. So, an incomparably long moment can be confused.

Although there should be no concept of time on the outside of the world, Her Royal Highness's ability to open up a relatively permanent time, so the definite sense of the length of time naturally reappeared.

It's as if I've walked through a pitch-black portal in the past, and I didn't even need a second of time, and I walked through it without realizing anything at all.

But this time, it is also to walk through the dark portal, but that second has become "forever", and nothing else has changed, just the infinite stretch of the subjective sense of time......

The relatively infinite spread of time is not an interesting experience, and after the initial novelty has passed, the remaining torment is enough to drive a sober will crazy-

Especially when you can't do anything, you can only wait quietly, as if you want to wait endlessly, you don't even have a goal to pin, and the meaning of existence will naturally disappear.

At the end of the day, Mu Xiu felt that almost his whole person was about to become an unconscious stone, and he couldn't tell how long the subjective time felt had passed, maybe a thousand years, maybe ten thousand years, but it was definitely not a moment.

I also don't understand whether everything in the memory has withered, or whether recalling the act in that case has no value at all.

It is as if in immortality and eternity, losing the meaning of existence.

In the end, I don't know how long it was, maybe just when he was about to forget himself-

"Hey, are you alright? Hey, wake up! Give the concubine back to her senses! ”

At this time, the sound of Penglai Mountain Huiye seemed to come from the sky far, far away, and seemed to echo around the body, endlessly.

“…… Kaguya? ”

It was about the external environment that finally showed such a change, so Mu Xiu's eyes gradually appeared from sluggishness, and seemed to be regaining clarity little by little, and finally completely regained consciousness.

Seeing clearly the long black straight girl in front of him who had been shaking his white palm at him, he struggled to spit out a few syllables, and then gasped as if he couldn't hold back anymore.

He reached out and covered his forehead, a look of pain flashing in his eyes.

A kind of mental anguish and tiredness swept mercilessly after he regained his senses, as if ordinary people had stayed up all night without sleep.

And at this time, the faint sound of the sea tide in the distance poured into Mu Xiu's ears without saying anything.

……

……

It is a steep cliff with lush forests below, and beyond, an emerald coast surrounded on all sides by crystal clear waters and a beautiful natural environment.

And yet—

It's impossible to determine exactly what this place is, whether it seems to be the edge of the coastal landmass, or simply an island?

"Where is this?" After finally returning to normal, Mu Xiu staggered his body around, glanced at the surrounding environment, and then subconsciously asked.

"Hmph, the concubine still wants to ask you, what kind of place is this?" Penglai Mountain Huiye narrowed his eyes slightly, snorted, and said with some unhappiness.

"I ...... I don't know. ”

Mu Xiu opened his mouth, and then he completely recalled what happened, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In the past, the forced crossing was only a matter of moments, and I would not have realized any anomalies in the process.

But Penglai Mountain Kaguya didn't know it, she probably wanted to give herself more time to respond, and activated her own ability in the moment before the crossing.

…… And so it became like this.

It's like a blink of an eye, which can be completed unconsciously, but it has become a conscious effort to complete in the blink of an eye after thousands of years of time.

This kind of torture can really make people crazy.

However, it is also fortunate that Mu Xiu did pass through the gap at the moment of crossing—the gap between the tenth and eleventh dimensions—although he usually has no way to manipulate the gap at all, but when he is forced to cross, this passive ability will always work spontaneously.

After all, he is also the existence of a half-realm monster, although it is said that this is because of the special nature caused by the absence of existence, and it is not that existence is innate.

The gap is originally a passage that can connect different realms, and it can exist outside the world, so it provides a shelter.

In addition, before that, he had decisively spread the defense of the spiritual light, and wrapped and protected it with Penglai Mountain Huiye, so there was no unfortunate "accident".

Otherwise, the trouble will only be even greater.

Therefore, after sorting out the cause and effect, when he saw Her Royal Highness the princess who was still alive and undamaged in front of him, Mu Xiu only felt sincerely relieved, and then he had a feeling of complete exhaustion.

This experience was really the greatest test and torture in his life.

Even if Mu Xiu has now faintly realized that this time the postgraduate examination and torture are of great benefit to him, he is definitely not willing to go through it again.

“……”

“……”

Mu Xiu closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, slowly breathing slowly to adjust his mentality.

The black straight girl next to her had a strange face, but her eyes were also unusually calm and waited quietly on the side, not in a hurry or impatient.

"It's a big trouble......" Finally, Mu Xiu opened his eyes and sighed with a wry smile, and shook his head again.

The princess, who was straight and black, was just silent about this.

"By the way, Kaguya, before...... No, just then. ”

Mu Xiu looked at the girl in front of him, and after taking a deep breath, he simply talked about another topic-

"You should feel the same way I do, why don't you seem to have changed? Is it not at all feeling? ”

“……”

“……”

"It's just a little bit of time, the time spent in the Moon Capital with the concubine before is simply not worth mentioning, and there are no things you take out on the moon, it's just boring for thousands of years......"

The princess gave him a strange look, and then said in a natural tone.

"The biggest difference between the long-lived species and the short-lived species is in the mentality, you can live as long as you want, if the soul decays first, in the end it will be the walking dead. If you want to become an immortal, it is essential for the cultivation of the mind. ”

“…… Is that so, it looks like I've really taken advantage of this time! ”

Mu Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, then stood on tiptoe and looked around.

The place where the two of them were located should be an island, and Mu Xiu noticed the presence of a lot of human and animal aura, as well as a small amount of abnormal aura.

Moreover, the electromagnetic waves in the air are very chaotic, and there are satellite signals transmitted back from outer space...... All of this proves that this is clearly not an uncivilized world as it was before.

Mu Xiu was catching the air waves, analyzing the information carried on them, and trying to reverse connect to the network to view the background of the world, and by the way, forge electronic files or something.

On the other side, there is the Extreme Diffusion Perception ability, which analyzes the surrounding terrain.

After a moment, he turned his head and stretched out his hand to point in a direction: "There's a town over there, let's go over first...... Well, and then I'll explain it to you, right? Do you think that works? ”

“…… Over there? It's okay, you lead the way, and the concubine will follow. ”

Penglai Mountain Huiye followed his direction, then turned his head and glanced at Mu Xiu deeply, and finally nodded slightly.

……

……

About twenty minutes later.

"Interesting ......"

The long, straight black girl sat elegantly under the parasol on the street outside a café, she raised her sleeves to cover her face, and looked at her surroundings with curious eyes, watching Mu Xiu speak a fluent and strange language to the shopkeeper.

Surrounded by leisurely village-like streets, it seems to be part of the edge of a port city, and it has a sense of history.

It's on the uphill side of a street that looks very clean and the beautiful emerald sea is at the end of the harbour......

All of this was a novelty she had never seen before, so the mood that was only slightly annoyed naturally calmed down.

However, if you are not angry, you will not be angry, and the current situation still needs an explanation.

Retracting his gaze, Her Royal Highness looked at Mu Xiu's back with burning eyes.

- The fact that this guy was hiding was obviously much deeper than any situation and possibility she had guessed before, and it made her feel like she was close to the great secret of the world.

“……”

Mu Xiu, who was talking to the shopkeeper, suddenly felt a chill behind him.
