On the huge divine pillar, Zhou Baiyu walked on the road built along the edge of the divine pillar, as if he was climbing a giant peak.

After climbing for an hour, Zhou Baiyu looked down, and from a height of thousands of meters, he could clearly see the "three rings" of the Pantheon.

After walking for so long, the so-called illusion was not triggered.

He even thought that he probably wouldn't trigger the illusion.

But it didn't take long for the thought to come to mind......

The scene around Zhou Baiyu changed.

He returned to the Youke New Town community, on the same floor where his parents were.

On the balcony, my father bought a very satisfying record today.

I was listening happily, and sometimes I would tell Ms. Wang Shufen about the subtlety of chords.

Ms. Wang Shufen is very happy, she has resolved Lu Bu in the second week without injury, and she can show off on Moments.

The harmonious life of his parents kept emerging in Zhou Baiyu's eyes.

He could even feel that joy.

The joy of this is endless.

Because tomorrow, they will experience the same thing again.

They'll buy new records, and they'll succeed in tackling a difficult boss.

It's the same the day after tomorrow. It's the same the day after tomorrow.

There will be no ups and downs and hardships in life, and for them, happiness will be preserved forever.

After a deep sleep, the cycle occurs when a new day arrives.

Those happiness, as if accumulated in the cycle, took root and sprouted, and then passed on to Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu even laughed unconsciously.

At this moment, Zhou Zeshui in the illusion suddenly spoke:

"This is the life I look forward to, your mother and I will always be so happy."

"Why break this cycle?"

"The first world has been corrupted, and the second world is only one piece of the puzzle called Long Xia."

"Those in the third world...... They are even more defenseless, so why not immerse them in the loop? ”

"Break the cycle, end this joy...... Does it really make sense to you? ”

"How can you be sure that breaking a window and waking up a sleeping person is not a torture and punishment?"

Fallacious.

Zhou Baiyu felt bored.

I laughed, just thinking, it was an illusion, but that's it. Secondly, my dad is not like that, no matter how happy I feel......"

"I'm pretty sure it's not real."

With a wave of his hand, everything vanished.

In front of Zhou Baiyu, it is no longer a house in Youke New Town, but a road to continue climbing.

But that's not the end of it.

After he walked a few dozen more steps, he saw the destruction of the world.

Countless cracks opened, and monsters fell from the sky, overwhelming the sky.

Human beings have suffered countless deaths and injuries, and they are faced with powerful polluting and corrupt species...... They were helpless.

Buildings are collapsing, homes are shattered, corpses are everywhere, and the city is baptized with fire and blood.

In the midst of countless deaths and despair, the tentacles of corruption have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the world has begun a new change......

"Why break the cycle? Before breaking the cycle, everyone can usher in a good cycle and stop in an eternal day. ”

"What can you change when you break the cycle? The world will finally come to an end......"

"You are standing at a crossroads that will decide everything, and your actions will determine whether the end will come in a gentle way or in a brutal way!"

Zhou Baiyu sneered.

It's like a line on TV - if you tell me the truth, I'll leave you a whole corpse.

In fact, every time he saw this, he wanted to say, it's okay, after I die, you can dismantle me for eight or sixteen.

They are all dead, what do you care about how to die?

All of us are fighting for a living hope.

When the end comes, will it be slowly consumed in the cycle, or will it be a brutal monster invasion that destroys everything......

In Zhou Baiyu's view, they are all wrong choices.

There is only one right option, to prevent the end of the world.

He waved again, and it was all gone.

But deep down, Zhou Baiyu had a trace of anger.

This anger seemed to be sensed by the pillars of the gods.

So it didn't take long for him to see the vision again.

Only this time, the illusion is no longer to make Zhou Baiyu give up the cycle.

Instead, he tried to detonate Zhou Baiyu's anger.

Zhou Baiyu didn't see his original world this time.

Instead, I saw what Bobby called "embarrassment" not long ago.

"In the Tianyan group, you can even see the embarrassment of some unlucky ghosts trapped in the loop, hahahaha, if you have the opportunity, you must go and see it, it's so beautiful."

This phrase came to his mind. In the field of vision, it was as if I had come to a dimly lit room.

The room seemed to be full of polluted seeds, and they gathered together and let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahahahaha......ha Look at the way she cries! It's sure to be delicious! ”

In the dimly lit room, the only source of light was the huge curtain in front of it.

The curtain seems to be some kind of treasure, capable of revealing a part of the Third World.

Zhou Baiyu looked at the curtain, and what was projected in this curtain was a young man named Charlie.

He is a pure practitioner.

On this day, Charlie's grandmother died. While sorting through his grandmother's belongings, Charlie saw a piece of will.

"I want you to be a hero, Charlie. You don't do your job, you always disappear from time to time in the eyes of others, and you don't seem to have any social connections with others......"

"Relatives at home always don't want to see you, thinking that you are doing something shady."

"But I know, my Charlie, deep down you are still that kind Charlie."

"Because when everyone was having a headache for me, you were silent...... Willing to take care of me. ”

"But I feel like my time is almost up, and I may have to go see your grandfather......"

"Poor little Charlie, the world will definitely become clean and beautiful, and your forbearance and silence will definitely usher in a moment when people will be understood."

"Love your grandmother."

Looking at this will, which was most likely written by his grandmother at some point before her death, Charlie cried bitterly.

After he became a pure practitioner, he learned more and more things and knew what the world might become in the future......

The whole person has also become introverted.

This is the case with many pioneers, and so is Zhou Baiyu himself.

After knowing the other side of the world, it seems that gradually, there is a layer of estrangement from ordinary people.

It's as if we don't belong to the same world.

Sometimes I think that I am trying to protect these people I don't know...... Is it really worth it?

But Charlie knew very well that he had no choice.

He always enters the draft, always disappears suddenly, and in reality he has fewer and fewer friends.

Sometimes, people complain that he is not responsible......

He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but the rules were not allowed to mention the Advance World to ordinary people.

He could only become more and more silent.

But even so, in the eyes of his grandmother, Charlie is still the hero who "wants to save the world like Superman".

Perhaps the last romance of this old man is his expectation for his grandson.

Charlie was in pain, in a sense, this was the last person he cared about in the world.

He survived in desperate situations again and again, just so that his grandmother could not face a world full of monsters.

But grandma ...... After all, it was the first to go.

This may not be a bad thing, but for Charlie, parting is always painful.

Charlie's suffering, in a cycle after cycle.

His life was stuck in the most painful moment.

And around, in addition to Charlie's mournful cries, there are countless kinds of laughter.

"Hahahahaha...... Hahahahaha......ha

"Hahahaha......"

Countless laughter echoed in Zhou Baiyu's ears, and the anger in Zhou Baiyu's heart ...... Like a prairie fire, it quickly burst out.

There is no future, this pure practitioner who saves the world may be very ordinary, maybe what he has done is still 108,000 miles away from saving the world......

But his life should not be stuck on this most painful day.

His love for the elderly should not be the laughing stock of this group of polluting species.

Zhou Baiyu clenched his hands into fists, and his lips trembled.

But the next second, his gaze was slightly glazed.

Because he saw Zhang Haoyun.

In that strange curtain, the picture jumps, and it is no longer the unlucky and sad Charlie.

It's Zhang Haoyun, who is constantly looking for something.

Zhang Haoyun came to the old town of Linxiang City.

This place where she has lived for a long time actually has many secrets that she does not know.

The defensive mode happened several times in succession, and it happened in Linxiang City, and Zhou Baiyu always felt that Linxiang seemed to be a little special.

It doesn't matter if it's the real world or the advance world.

But the person who really realized this kind of specialness and tried to find the root of the special - Zhang Haoyun.

This powerful corrupt species, since the last time he went to the Advance World and returned to the real world, has been thinking about finding that entrance.

In Zhang Haoyun's thoughts, there must be some entrance and exit.

It is because of this entrance and exit that this existence connects two worlds......

As a result, he became a monster.

For some reason, Zhou Baiyu seemed to have established some kind of sensory connection with Zhang Haoyun at this time.

He seemed to be able to feel Zhang Haoyun's inner emotions.

"To find that place...... If you want to help Zhou Baiyu, you can't stay in this world......"

"I want to contribute my strength to him."

With such thoughts, Zhang Haoyun followed her feelings and ...... like a fool

Constantly circling around the old town.

She was like an ant trapped in a labyrinth.

It seems that the cycle limits her trajectory.

But all this has nothing to do with the cycle, but Zhang Haoyun follows the feeling in her memory, and always feels that the gap is in the old city.

Zhou Baiyu, who had established some kind of connection, realized that he ......

It turned out that Hao Yun was also constantly working hard and wanted to help herself.

He has been thinking about one thing, if he didn't have the friendship of the train conductor and didn't have this badge, would this mission be a failure?

But in fact...... No.

Zhang Haoyun has actually realized it, or because he is eager to go to the advance world to help Zhou Baiyu, Zhang Haoyun is obsessed with finding an entrance.

And this entrance is real.

This entrance, probably right in the old town.

Zhang Haoyun's heart was impatient, even day and night.

Even in the early hours of the morning, when she had rested for a moment, she seemed to remember something—and immediately began to search for it.

So there was a scene that made everyone laugh.

"Hahahahaha...... It's so strange that the corrupt seed of that world is like an ant, constantly circling in circles. ”

"None of the gaming NPCs like going around in circles as much as she does."

The laughter of everyone once again ignited Zhou Baiyu's anger.

Because Zhou Baiyu can feel it...... Hao Yun is right.

Hao Yun seems to be very close to the goal.

The gap does exist, but it may take some kind of tool or some ritual to really see it.

Maybe...... What Hao Yun found was a way to curb the defensive mode from the root.

But she was doomed.

Even if she searches day and night, even if she keeps recalling......

She's still stuck in the loop.

It's not the same as Charlie.

Charles was in great grief, and his grief was ridiculed.

Zhang Haoyun is on the verge of hope and truth, but she can't always touch it.

Because none of them have a future.

Their lives are actually no different from those that came to an abrupt end.

They can only be in this day, endless loops.

One keeps losing love, and the other keeps falling short......

There are still many people who have this experience, and the curtain is constantly circulating "jokes".

Joyful laughter filled the dimly lit room.

Such an experience, accompanied by the laughter of the polluted species, completely made Zhou Baiyu angry.

For the first time, he wanted to wipe out these people so much, and his heart longed for the power to destroy everything!

And this anger also made Zhou Baiyu, who was on the edge of the Divine Pillar, begin to undergo some kind of change in his body.

It's no longer scarlet armor, it's some kind of pitch-black armor...... It is covering Zhou Baiyu little by little.

At this time, in the transit station, Dr. A suddenly raised his head.

In the eternal dream, it was no longer the eternal night that sat on the throne, but Mark, who also raised his head.

"Calm down! Calm down! Don't get consumed by emotions! ”

Whether it's A or Mark, these two guys who live in Zhou Baiyu's body are shouting Zhou Baiyu with the loudest voice!

Under normal circumstances, they would not be able to interfere with Zhou Baiyu......

But perhaps it was corruption that made Zhou Baiyu vigilant in the depths of his consciousness.

This body seems to have activated the early warning mechanism-

So A and Mark's voices rang out at the same time:

"Stop! Don't let emotions consume you! You're not a corrupt seed, the Divine Pillar is trying to assimilate you! ”

"Don't corrupt ...... on the pillars"

These voices made Zhou Baiyu's consciousness wake up for a moment, and those pitch-black armors instantly turned into dust.

Zhou Baiyu looked back on the surrounding ......

He was already above the clouds, and there was no laughter of polluted seeds around him.

There are only clouds.

He broke out in a cold sweat and only now realized ...... How terrible things are.

"I see, they can't convince me, so they are ready to use their emotions to devour me and turn me into a corrupt ......"

The biggest problem in the climbing of the Divine Pillar lies in the Divine Pillar itself.

This is a finger of the god of corruption, and if you are too close to it, you can easily be corrupted.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Baiyu was quite lively in his body, with one engaged in research and one plagiarism, he might have been a corrupt species by now.

It's not the same kind of corruption as Dr. A's, though it's also corrupt...... However, the corrupt species affected by the Divine Pillar seem to have some kind of enslaving ability for the corrupt species.

Therefore, Dr. A is not afraid of Zhou Baiyu's corruption, but afraid of Zhou Baiyu's corruption by the Divine Pillar.

"There is no danger......"

Burying the anger in his heart in his heart, Zhou Baiyu took several deep breaths before moving towards the top again.

The battle with the Divine Pillar has come to an end.

Next, the most important thing is to go to the central shrine -

Destroy the source of pollution.
