Chapter 1 Suddenly, the golden rope was opened

Li Ping'an, who returned to the small world, immediately replenished the energy that was originally somewhat depleted in his body.

The small world is like an inexhaustible pool of energy, unreservedly transmitting energy to Li Ping'an, making his energy full again.

Even the light on his body, which was a little dark due to the lack of energy, shone again at this moment.

It feels like taking a break from a long run and then soaking in a hot spring, and my whole body feels refreshed.

Not only did Li Ping'an feel as if he had been purified, but even the operation of the small world began to speed up at this time, as if a child who had stayed at home for a long time had finally waited for his father who had been working outside for a long time, and he was rejoicing.

Li Ping'an clearly felt that the small world had indeed become active at this time.

This change is not only caused by the world core in Li Ping'an's body as he came to the small world and made the small world completely complete.

is also because Li Ping'an's strength has made great progress at this time, so that the small world has also been fed.

Even the speed of digesting the planet that was swallowed before began to speed up, and in the process, some energy was constantly being sent here.

Li Ping'an looked at the cocoon formed by Lorraine on the side, and there was no sign of breaking the cocoon at this time.

However, if you use the spirit to perceive it internally, you will find that all the signs of Lorraine inside are normal, and it can even be said that it is constantly approaching perfection.

She is evolving to a higher life level, and the moment she breaks out of the cocoon, she may directly possess the power of the top level of the earth.

And it is not inferior to the power of the Black Yao Five Generals, and even the accuser Ronan.

After seeing all this, Li Ping'an did not pay attention to the internal development of the small world, which was not important to him.

At this time, he only wanted to quickly and thoroughly understand the contents of the Book of Hell, so that he could comprehend the soul law as soon as possible and become a true Heavenly Father-level existence.

The moment he sat down cross-legged, his mind immediately connected with the small world, and all the scenes of the small world were unobstructed in his eyes in this state.

And in the process of just a snap of his fingers, he saw the sun rising in the east and setting in the small world, and everything in the small world seemed to be playing at double speed in his eyes, so fast that it was unreal.

Li Ping'an felt that his thinking was clearer than ever, and he hurriedly abandoned all distractions and focused on delving into the contents of the Book of Hell.

There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the cold and heat do not know the autumn.

No matter how the situation changes in the small world, Li Ping'an has never made other changes.

When he perfected the law of the soul, the small world also changed dramatically.

After swallowing an entire planet, the small world has turned into a sea of vicissitudes, turning lakes into seas, hills into mountains, ravines into abysses, and the appearance of the whole world has begun to have a vigorous atmosphere.

Moreover, the time of the small world began to fluctuate irregularly, and the cosmic time where the earth was located began to be out of harmony, and sometimes, ten years have passed in the small world, and only a short month has passed for the earth.

Other times, only a week has passed in the small world, but a whole month has passed in the outside world.

Even so, Li Ping'an's eyes never opened, but he was intoxicated with the comprehension of the law.

Time has no meaning to him at this time, only knowledge is eternal.

Finally, one day, the speed of time in the small world began to stop fluctuating violently, but gradually approached stability, reaching a level that was basically the same as that of the earth.

This marks that the law of the small world has been perfected, and it also marks that Li Ping'an's comprehension of the law of the soul has come to an end.

......

On the other side, in a vast territory of black and white, countless numb creatures walked aimlessly in a dead land.

These people walked barefoot on the white earth, and they didn't care if the strong wind swept through their skin and left them with holes.

These people include earthlings and various strange alien races, including some Asgardians.

But no matter what race they are, no matter how high or low they are, here, they are all equal.

Their bodies were broken, tall and short, fat and thin, and they were all bloody at this time; They are not clothed, they are not decorated with bright clothes; Their eyes explain numbness and sluggishness, and there is no distinction between wisdom and stupidity; They were silent, and even the occasional unconscious roar sounded like a wind blowing through a tattered bellows, and there was no distinction between pleasant and unpleasant;

They have come to a territory of absolute fairness, a territory that belongs to the dead.

Mephisto's infernal territory, facing this territory is not worth mentioning.

All souls in the universe will come here automatically.

As for the other dimensions of Hell, whether it's Mephisto's Infernal Realm or Asgard Valhalla.

It's just a part of the countless souls in the universe that have been extracted from it using its own magic.

They were nothing more than two petty thieves who had stolen two inconsequential grapes from the vineyard of the owner of the estate.

And the owner of this territory is the embodiment of death in the universe, the god of death, one of the five gods.

In the deepest part of the territory, in an open-air territory that was also black and white, the god of death was staring at Thanos's sleeping soul with closed eyes in front of him.

The soul was tall, his skin was rough as a rock, and his muscles were full and beautiful, and if it weren't for his bare head and wrinkled chin like tree bark, his overall beauty would have been too much of a detriment.

I'm afraid that there will be quite a few female creatures in the universe who are interested in this burly male.

Of course, the god of death is clearly not among them.

Her palm brushed gently past the tall soul.

Immediately afterwards, Thanos sat up from the ground like a person who had been rescued from a drowning coma and was rescued urgently, gasping for breath.

It may be that the surrounding air is not suitable for ordinary creatures to breathe, even Thanos can't resist it, and he begins to cough violently.

"Ahem.. Ahem! ... cough cough cough ......"

The violent coughing sound sounded like the next moment, and the owner of the sound was about to cough up his own internal organs, and anyone who heard it couldn't help but pinch their noses and frown.

"You don't need to breathe here, and it's not fit to breathe."

A gender-neutral voice came from Thanos' side.

Thanos, who can survive in the universe, naturally does not need to breathe to survive, and the breath just now is nothing more than a subconscious act.

When he heard the reminder from the voice next to him, he stopped breathing.

"Cough, cough, cough."

After a few coughs at the end, Thanos felt much better.

"What is this place, and why is the air so bad, it's like pouring chili pepper water and sulfur into your nose." Thanos frowned.

"Be glad to have a sense here, even if it's just pain."

Thanos didn't pay attention to who said this, but looked around first, and found that everywhere he looked, there were only black and white.

"Does my eye hurt?" Thanos rubbed his eyes and noticed that it was still black and white, so he looked at the person who had just started to speak.

At this time, he realized that it was a woman wearing a black robe who was speaking, and the male and female voices just now made Thanos unable to distinguish the gender of the other party.

Now that I look at it, the other party is not only a woman, but also a beautiful woman with a pair of great truths.

But the great Sanos was not fooled by appearances, he stood up and wanted to pat the dust behind him.

But the elastic touch made him realize that he was naked at this time.

This made him feel very uncomfortable, after all, he did not have the habit of sleeping naked.

"Where the hell is this? Where's my clothes? After thinking about it, he asked again: "Where is my enemy?" ”

As he spoke, his eyes became extremely sharp, staring at the god of death who had just reached his waist.

If it were an ordinary person, no matter how powerful an existence was, he would feel extremely uncomfortable in the face of such a situation, but the god of death did not care at all.

She said in a voice that didn't fluctuate at all, "What was your last memory before you woke up?" ”

When Thanos heard this, his brain hurt, his ears buzzed, and his brows closed unconsciously.

"Me, the last memory."

His expression was pained, as if something in his head was deliberately preventing him from ringing.

Far from stopping Thanos' memories, the pain only stimulated him even more.

His huge body fell to the ground with a bang, his knees tightly sunk into the ground under his feet, holding his head in both hands, desperately recalling the previous battle with Li Ping'an.

Something gradually tried to break out of the ground in his mind, but there was always another veil in his sight, making it impossible for him to see the memory clearly.

At this moment, the god of death stretched out his slender white fingers, and the pitch-black nails lightly touched Thanos' bare head.

'Boom! ’

Thanos felt as if he had experienced a violent earthquake in his mind, and the memory of that period of Mohu suddenly became clear.

The scene of Li Ping'an twisting his neck and dragging his head out of his body along with part of the spinal vertebrae was extremely clear from his memory.

The memory was so clear, so clear that it was as if he had suffered such a terrible experience again, that he couldn't help but choke his neck and sit back heavily.

Sweating profusely, his eyes were full of disbelief.

With a big gasp, he coughed violently again, just as he had done at the beginning.

It took him a long time to recover from the physical and mental stimulation, and he said, "I, I'm dead? ”

He looked at his gray palms and looked up at the woman.

"Why do you think you're here?"

"Here?" Thanos had a guess in his mind, and he stood up with his hands on the ground and looked into the distance.

Surrounded by unobstructed and absolutely flat land, Thanos saw countless creature with tattered bodies roaming the land unconsciously.

"This is the Dimension of the Dead!" Thanos remembered a legend that had been widely circulated in the universe.

There are five great creator gods in the universe.

Devourer, with infinite power and the planet as her own food, will bring the universe to an end; 、

Death is the embodiment of death, the master of the soul, the source and manipulator of the soul of all life in the universe, and all life will return to her embrace at the end of time;

Eternity, the embodiment of cosmic time, exists in the present, past, and future at the same time, omniscient and omnipotent;

Infinity, the embodiment of cosmic space, can manipulate space at will, no matter what dimension, there is no secret in his eyes;

Annihilation, possessing the power to completely destroy matter, no matter what he attacks, it will completely disappear, as if it had never appeared.

And now with the scene in front of him, Thanos understands that he is now in what is likely to be the legendary land of the dead.

"You are the legendary god of death?" Thanos guessed.

Death spoke: "Yes, it seems that after experiencing death, your mind is not completely occupied by fear. ”

"The road I walked was difficult, and I knew that one day I might fall halfway through." Thanos sat on the ground and said with a sad voice: "I just didn't expect this day to come so suddenly, and I was defeated by an earthling." ”

"It's not an ordinary person who defeated you, and his soul can't even be captured by me, in other words, he's a soul that doesn't belong to this universe." Death said this without the slightest movement in his eyes, almost like a robot.

Thanos wasn't interested in any of this: "It doesn't matter, if you lose, you're losing, I'm dead, these don't matter anymore, but that person is really an incredible opponent."

Such a hearty battle is really memorable. ”

As he said this, a smile appeared on Thanos' face that was out of place in his surroundings.

"So I'm piggy to give you another chance to fight him!"

Hearing this, Thanos turned his head in shock.

"I like the idea that you want to wipe out half of the population of the universe, and I don't want someone as interesting as you to die like that."

"My goal is for the long-term development of the universe, not for pleasing anyone! And that includes you, even if you are the so-called God of Creation! ”

Thanos is extremely unhappy with death's claim that his actions are the spice of life, which makes him feel like he is just living for someone's amusement.

Even if the other party can give him a chance to live again, he is not happy at all, but angry about it.

Who knew that the other party's next sentence made him even more angry.

"Your feelings or thoughts mean nothing to me, it's just that your actions are just enough to please me, and to me, your only value is to please me with the act of destroying half my life."

Thanos said angrily: "You may have misunderstood me, I won't dare to do anything to you just because you are a god!" ”

"It's funny, the words of the ants trying to threaten the giants will only make the giants feel as if they are like you and me now."

"Boom!"

As soon as the words fell, Thanos threw a punch with all his might, and if it hit a small satellite like the moon, it would be enough to shatter half of its volume.

Even Li Ping'an would never dare to stand there straight and be beaten by Thanos.

But death did just that.

She stood there without dodging or dodging, allowing Thanos to throw such a punch at her.

Thanos will naturally not be merciful, he will be afraid of a powerful enemy like Odin during his lifetime, and will avoid his edge because his ideals will be fulfilled.

But now that he is dead, he naturally has no scruples, even if Odin and the ancient one stand in front of him together, he dares to compete with the two.

With no scruples in his heart, he naturally acted mercilessly.

But an extremely strange scene happened.

When the fist of the casserole was a few centimeters away from death, it was impossible to move an inch, as if there was an invisible wall between the two.

Not only that, but his muscular, harder than steel arms, were now as soft as plasticine, as if they were boneless, and they were squeezed together with his fists little by little.

Driven by tremendous force, Thanos's entire arm, along with half of his shoulder, moved forward uncontrollably, stacked on top of each other like layers of moss.

At this time, half of his body was squeezed into a sheet, which made Thanos's heart full of astonishment.

But the god of death is clearly not a magnanimous god.

Facing the stunned Thanos, she stepped directly on Thanos's head.

That's right, in the face of Thanos, who was obviously much taller than her, she just stood on the ground and stepped on it.

At this moment, it seems that the space is distorted, and there is no so-called up, down, left, right, and front and back.

In Thanos' eyes, only one of his feet was full of humiliation, and he stepped on his shiny head.

Sadly, no matter how much he dodged at this time, he never managed to dodge this blow.

Bang!

Thanos' head slammed into the ground, and he felt something stir around his head, followed by a violent vomiting sensation.

"Why can you win me for yourself who can't even beat Li Ping'an."

When he said this, the tone of death was extremely calm, without any tone of confusion.

She really doesn't understand Thanos' behavior, because it goes against the nature of the species.

After Thanos recovered from his dizzy state, he said unwillingly: "The strength of a strong man lies not only in his strength, but also in his mentality. If he only dares to bully the weak, then he is just a coward with no power. ”

Although Thanos was trampled under the feet of death at this time, when he said this, he had an aura that made death feel frightened.

Most of the souls she came into contact with were muddy, and she didn't even have the instinct to be an animal, and it was the first time she had seen an existence like Thanos.

There is no way, she has been staying in the realm of death on weekdays, for her, everything in the outside world is not worth paying attention to, and all the pleasures in the world are not attractive to her.

Her only pleasure is to watch other creatures die, which excites her as the embodiment of the cosmic 'rules of death'.

In recent years, she has found that her pleasure has increased considerably, and hundreds of millions of souls belonging to the same planet often come here.

In the past, even if the planet was destroyed, there would not be such a spectacular phenomenon, because generally if a planet reaches the end of its life, then the number of life on it has long been dissipated.

Hundreds of millions of souls came here at the same time, and these souls all had an abnormal obsession with a person called Thanos, and their resentment gathered to an incredible degree.

And this phenomenon has happened a lot over the centuries.

As a dead woman, for the first time, she was aroused by an emotion called curiosity.

After some investigation, she learned that this man had a great ambition to destroy the life of the universe, which made her extremely excited about death.

It's like a child with a new toy.

So, when Thanos died and was about to be destroyed, the god of death intervened to save Thanos' soul.

Not only that, but she also used the rules of death to attack Li Ping'an as punishment for wanting to destroy his new toy.

But Death discovers that Thanos is even more interesting than he imagined.

In the face of himself, he dared to make a move, and he could still say such a thing.

In all fairness, if he was going to fight and destroy that guy alone, then he would definitely not be as brave as Thanos.

Of course, that was the end of her empathy.

She still maintained the posture of stepping on Thanos's head, and said to Thanos: "When there is anything bad about my toys, I can let you live once, even many times."

There is not a single soul here who does not want me to do this to them, because for them, it means that they can live again.

Don't you want to go back to that world again and continue your career? ”

Thanos was very unhappy with the situation where he was stepped on, saying that he refused to answer all questions.

Perhaps realizing the problem, the god of death was very tolerant and took his foot off Thanos's head.

Thanos got up and shook his head, shook his arm vigorously, and the whole arm recovered quickly as if it was inflated.

He silently sighed in his heart for the wonder of the state of his soul, and although he was a little unwilling, he still answered the question of the goddess of death: "I hope that I can live once, and no one can refuse such a tempting condition."

However, I don't want me to go back at the cost of turning myself into a plaything of some being, and I can't accept that! ”

The god of death thought for a moment: "It's strange, it's so strange that you did this thing so seriously before, even if you were regarded as the enemy of all the living, you didn't change your ambition at all, and now it's just because you know that this thing can bring me fun, so you abandon your previous concept, it's really strange." ”

Hearing this, Thanos was also silent.

Yes, even if I was regarded as the enemy of the whole universe, I still didn't give up on pursuing my ideals, but now I just know that a god is happy to see me do this, and I start to oppose this cause.

This is, of course, strange.

As a highly intelligent talent, he dissected himself.

If the woman in front of her can really give herself a second life, then it should be her benefactor, why is she so emotional.

Is it really just that you don't want to be someone else's plaything?

I didn't care what others thought before, whether it was ridicule or abuse, I didn't care.

Now that he is facing the gods, he is like a child and has a temper, doesn't this mean that he has accepted defeat and is not the opponent of the gods at all, so he can only use the most childish method to fight against the gods.

I was still afraid of falling to the ground in my heart, afraid of death, and afraid of the god in front of me.

In addition, I am really tired.

After the battle with Li Ping'an, Li Ping'an not only defeated him by force, but also hit him mentally and made him feel that what he was doing was simply drinking to quench his thirst.

Extraneous energy to the universe has brought little change.

He knew that this was the main reason for his discouragement.

He was really tired, he couldn't stop during his lifetime, and from the moment he killed his own people with his own hands, there was no turning back.

He can keep moving forward and stubbornly move forward according to the goal in his heart, otherwise, everything he did before would have become a joke.

Now that he is dead, he wants to rest and rest, and no longer worry about the past.

The god of death saw the pensive Thanos and said, "Then think about it in another way, don't you want to defeat Li Ping'an and wash away your failures." ”

Thanos replied like a disarmed old farmer who had no desires and no desires, and replied: "I know, I'm afraid I won't be able to win against Li Ping'an, I feel that there is an energy in him that has not fully exploded."

When he fights me, it's more like he's grinding his strength than fighting with his heart. ”

Now that he looks back on that battle, he tastes a little bit of it, and thinking of this, Thanos has a sense of anger in his heart, as well as a trace of helplessness.....

"Are you scared?"

Thanos felt bored for a while, and sat on the ground.

"Before you talk about whether you are afraid or not, you should give me a set of clothes, I'm not used to the current outfit."

Death nodded slightly: "I can give you this privilege." ”

With her permission, a black robe appeared on Thanos's body, and with his vicissitudes of life, he looked like an ascetic who had gone through countless ups and downs.

"Can you say it now?" The god of death seems to be very patient with Thanos, and at this time she is like a little girl who wants to listen to the stories of adults.

Thanos looked at the god of death and was surprised that the other party was so easy to talk to.

Maybe it was because he rarely communicated with people during his lifetime, but now he has become a little different, and he is willing to talk more.

"I'm afraid, maybe it's a little bit.

But I'm not afraid of him being strong, I'm more afraid of his own powerlessness in the face of him, as if he is a weak baby. ”

Thanos said very frankly.

"It's normal, his strength is related to those stones, although to me the stones are not powerful, but for you, that power is a bit excessive."

Looking at the death that was obviously not comforting, Thanos didn't mind, but laughed heartily.

"Whatever the reason for his strength, all in all, he did defeat me with dignity, and I still had no power to fight back against him who was hiding his clumsiness, which is also true."

"Do you want to defeat him?" Death saw the unwillingness in Thanos' laughter and asked bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, there was a long silence.

Thanos asked himself inwardly: Do you want to defeat Li Ping'an?

Think, of course, no surprises!

He had never tasted such a painful defeat, and as a warrior, he certainly wanted to fight Li Ping'an again and wash away his shame with the blood of the enemy.

But how should he defeat the other party, his strength has reached the peak that he can reach, even if he is resurrected again, he will not have a chance to win in the face of Li Ping'an.

But that wasn't a reason for him to back down.

"I want to fight him again, but it's a decent fight." Thanos carefully considered the words, then looked at Death and continued, "Instead of relying on the strength of others to defeat him. ”

"Don't worry, I won't interfere in your battles, I'll only give you ways to improve your own strength." Death saw Thanos' concerns and spoke.

"But do you really have the courage to fight him again?"

Hearing this, Thanos got up again, his eyes burst out with endless battle intent again, he looked down at the death in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I have never lacked enough courage, now, tell me, what are the ways you said to improve your strength!" ”

Seeing Thanos, who was refreshed again, a touching smile appeared on Death's face, and that smile was like a flower of white bones blooming in the sea of corpses and blood.

It makes people feel incomparably beautiful and at the same time endlessly bewitching.

"I will guide you to a sword that can destroy the gods......"

......

Thanos, who has reappeared in the world of the living, has appeared in his destroyed homeland, the former Titan Star.

This is where his dreams set sail.

Beside him, the supergiant star of the Black Bright Five and the figure of Proxima Centauri appeared at the same time.

Death not only gave him a chance to live, but also sent his followers back to him to continue to support him.

And the resurrected Proxima Centauri supergiant looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.

"Aren't you dead?" "Am I not dead!" ”

Supergiants and Proxima Centauri exclaimed at the same time.

Looking at Thanos in front of him, Proxima Centauri in the dark was so excited that he fell to his knees: "Master, you saved me!" ”

Although the supergiant couldn't figure out what was going on, she also knelt on her knees with a familiar forehead, and her memory stayed at the last moment when Li Ping'an knocked on the protective shield.

The two of them had no idea what happened after their deaths, and as the living, they could not retain the memories of the dead, just as the dead in the death dimension could not retain the memories of their lives.

Of course, Thanos, who is under the special care of the god of death, is naturally an exception.

Thanos didn't explain anything, and before death sent him to the world of the living, he asked the god of death one last question: "Why do you take such special care of me and help me deal with Li Ping'an, I said, I don't exist to make fun of you." ”

"Because you're interesting, whether you want to or not, you'll continue your ideals when you return to the realm of the living, and you won't give up because it will bring me fun.

As for why I helped you deal with Li Ping'an, it's because I hate that guy very much, and that guy's idea will reduce the birth of death, and I don't like it very much. ”

After that, Thanos came to the transition of the living.

Looking at the two subordinates kneeling on the ground, Thanos ordered without looking back: "Contact Ebony Throat, I need you to find me a sword, a sword that can help me clear the obstacles!". ”
