454. The Land Without Light
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
Hearing Ciyin's words, Xie Zheng was slightly stunned, looked at him with some surprise, and asked, "Could it be that you have been lying to me all along?" β
Ciyin couldn't help laughing, shook her head and said, "It's not enough to lie, it's just that many times, I will see something not very beautiful, so I choose to be silent." β
"It's not that I want to hide anything, I think it's more like the Creator, who has a hard heart but can't open his mouth."
Xie Zheng: "......"
She was silent for a moment before asking, "So, you mean, you couldn't say it before, but now it's time to say it?" β
Ciyin laughed again, staring into her eyes for a long time before laughing, "I suddenly want to try." β
Xie Zheng was stunned: "What to try?" β
However, as soon as she asked, she already knew what Ciyin wanted to try.
"The world we live in is not the real world, but a kind of deliberately created projection... Your feeling is not wrong, maybe since you left the Heaven and Sea Realm, what you have entered is false in another sense. β
Ciyin's speed of speech was much faster than usual, as if she was afraid of being cut off by something, she glanced at her quickly, and when she saw that her face was as usual, she continued:
"The original world may have been fake, but after drifting through the long river of time, what we see now is by no means just what it was at the beginning."
"I think that's what He wants us to see, some kind of power, a power that can turn everything around."
When Xie Zheng heard this, he just blinked his eyes a little ignorantly, but almost in an instant, he was blessed to his heart.
"Let falsehood become the power of truth?"
Ciyin thought for a moment and replied, "It can be understood in this way. β
"You see, I have expressed the biggest doubt in my heart, and it has not attracted any heavenly punishment, and this world has not collapsed because of it."
"Maybe we're on the right path."
Xie Zheng waved her hand, a little helpless, right aside, she still didn't understand it for the time being.
"But the problem is, I don't see any power in this world, and I don't know how to turn falsehood into truth."
Hearing her words, Ciyin also smiled helplessly and said, "I found out before you, but it is precisely because of this that I will never be able to master such power." β
Xie Zheng: "? β
What's the same thing? I don't understand it anymore.
The confusion on Xu is Xie Zheng's face was too obvious, Ciyin pondered for a moment, and then pulled her back to the ground again, this time they found the most prosperous place in the city, even if it was late at night, it was still brightly lit and pedestrians were weaving.
"Next, I'll ask you some questions, and you can answer them with your heart."
Although Xie Zheng was puzzled, he knew in his heart that he would not do such a meaningless thing, so he nodded and said, "You ask." β
Seeing this, Ciyin curled her lips and asked, "What do you think... Will the people in this world be happier than the people in the Heaven and Sea Realm? β
Xie Zheng: "? β
No... Although she was ready, what was the problem?
"Just answer, don't think too much."
He said so, Xie Zheng didn't think about it, pulled the corners of his lips, and replied: "Happiness or not is different from person to person, people in the Tianhai Realm have happiness and unhappiness, and this world is naturally the same, although it is a different world, it is not different in essence." β
Hearing her answer, Ciyin had a satisfied smile on her face: "Okay, next question." β
"In your eyes, what is the difference between this place and the Heaven and Sea Realm?"
Different? This question is even stranger!
But Xie Zheng didn't say anything, and replied without thinking: "If you want to say that there are differences, they are all visible to the naked eye, and here and the Tianhai Realm are clearly two completely different worlds. β
"But if you look at the nature of the world, it is no different, no matter what kind of force it is created, they are real beings, the ultimate habitat."
When she said these words, her eyes were flat but determined, and the smile on Ciyin's face was even worse, and then she opened her lips and said, "One last questionβ"
"When it's all over and the Three Thousand Worlds are at peace, will you still remember this place?"
Xie Zheng: "......"
At this point, she finally couldn't help but glare at him: "Of course I will remember, and I will never forget." β
As soon as her voice fell, before she could react, she suddenly felt that the scene around her had become nothing, the strange world and the crowd were gone, and even Ciyin had disappeared from her side.
But she had long been accustomed to such small scenes, and she did not react too violently, just quietly waiting for these pompous halos to disappear.
Sure enough, after a while, after all those charming things had dissipated, Xie Zheng found himself at the beginning of a trail with no end in sight, empty and empty on both sides of the road, with occasional inconspicuous light-colored rays of light.
Other than that, there is nothing else.
She was a little helpless, but there was no other way at this time, not that she couldn't break through the space here with a sword, but it was just that it had come to this time, and the problem she encountered was obviously not something that could be solved with a sword.
There is no other way to go but to move on.
As soon as Xie Zheng took a step, the scene in front of him began to change, it was the traffic and people he had just seen, and he was smiling and silent.
But she did not stop, but continued to walk, and the picture before her changed again, and in an instant she stood in the endless red sand, the sun scorching the earth, but in the distance there was an oasis, and the music and laughter of aliens could be faintly heard in the air.
Xie Zheng paused, but in the end he didn't stop, and continued to step out of his footsteps and walked towards the depths of the red sand.
In this way, slowly but surely, she walked a long and strange road, and saw countless forms of life, either singing, or desolating, or bathed in the moonlight, or dissipated in the dim dark sand and scorched earth.
Life is dying, but it is also being reborn.
The cycle goes on and on.
Finally, she returned to the endless path, only this time, she finally saw another person at the end of the road.
"It's finally waiting for you."
It was a girl who was only seven or eight years old, wearing the most ordinary cloth skirt in the world, with two buds on her head, and a round little face, cute and pleasing, and even the voice was as childlike as crisp and immature.
"After walking through 3,000 small worlds, do you feel about it?"
Three thousand... Small world?
Xie Zheng suddenly said: "Did you let me see it?" Then you are..."
The little girl smiled sweetly at her: "Call me Ah Shu, the old man you saw in the Immortal Heaven before, the one who took away the body of the Immortal Emperor and the Ancestral Dragon King, are all the divine thoughts that I divided." β
"And myself, trapped in this lightless place, has been for a long time, so long that I can't remember how many tens of thousands of years have passed."
