When Helena woke up from the glare, she found that everyone around her seemed to have lost their souls, their eyes were empty, and they looked straight ahead, not moving. She looked at Stefa beside her, trying to wake him up, but was stopped by a voice.

"Don't touch him, their soul and body are making final adjustments, and your soul is very compatible, so wake up early!"

It was Xiao Ming's voice.

Hearing Xiao Ming's voice, Helena immediately calmed down, she turned her head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and found that Xiao Ming and Remidios exuded a faint light, one black and white, and the other blue. The bodies of the two look a little illusory, a bit like holographic projections, but they are real. This left Helena a little confused.

Seeing Helena's doubts, Xiao Ming chuckled: "This is a special space, the gap between the soul and reality, your body appears directly here, so it takes a certain amount of time to fit the soul, I and Remidios are a little special, so we are like this." But it doesn't affect anything!"

Xiao Ming and Remidios are highly compressed souls and thus embodied beings, strictly speaking, the two of them have no real body. Xiao Ming came through time and space, and it was his soul that came to this time and space, and Remidios himself was such an existence. It's just that the souls of the two are highly compressed and condensed, so the phenomenon of embodiment is produced, and under any kind of detection method, they are no different from normal people with bodies.

But once you enter a soul-based environment, you can see the difference between the two. At this time, the light on the two of them was not intentional on their part, but a natural reaction in this special environment. It's like a flame naturally glows and heats up. In this half-soul, half-material world. There is no protection from the body. The souls of Xiao Ming and Remidios will collapse their energy all the time, and theoretically if they are long enough, even if there is no attack, their souls will completely dissipate.

However, with the strength of the two of them and the degree of soul condensation, it is impossible to do this without hundreds of years.

Helena looked around and saw that everywhere she looked, there were fluorescent glitters, each emitting a soft glow. It is full of a dreamy feeling, but under that dream, there is an aura that makes her heart palpitate, and it seems that under this beauty and dream, there is a terrifying murderous intention.

"Captain, where is this?" Helena asked, "Aren't we on Tombstone One, when did you get here?"

"This is the inside of the engraver! No, it should be said to be a crack. As I said, this is the gap between the soul and the material world, and it has the characteristics of both worlds. But this crack is indeed inside the engraver, so it can also be said that we are inside the engraver!" Xiao Ming explained. Seeing Helena's shocked look, he added, "This is a special space. Some of the laws of the material world are different here. So don't dwell on why we're still alive here. All you need to know is that this is our final destination!"

Helena steadied herself and nodded, "I see! How long will it take for them to wake up?"

"It should be soon. Your soul fit is far beyond my expectations, so wake up first, Steve and Tereg should wake up soon, and the others may have to wait a few minutes!" Xiao Ming said.

As if to confirm his words, after he finished speaking, Steve and Terig woke up. After another five minutes, everyone else came to their senses.

Xiao Ming explained the situation to everyone. After knowing that they had come to the inside of the Monument Carver, everyone was taken aback, and they all quickly calmed down - since they had already made the determination to die at the beginning of the mission, what else was there to worry about and fear?

"The Monument Carver has invited us here to fight us one last time, and neither I nor Remidios will be able to protect you for the rest of the road. Everyone be careful!" Xiao Ming said with pity.

In this particular environment, he and Remidios have absolute self-confidence, but they can't protect others. Because many of the dangers here are directly aimed at the soul, and even Xiao Ming, who has cultivated the Soul Sutra, cannot protect the souls of others 100%.

The soul is independent and fragile, and if Xiao Ming wants to protect everyone's soul and intervenes too much, he will devour the other party's soul. It's like the soul difference between him and Da Pan is too big at the beginning, even if Da Pan doesn't harm his mind, it will erode his soul. This is the law of the spiritual world, just like the transmission of energy in the material world, which is an immutable basic law.

Everyone nodded, they had already been mentally prepared.

"I've seen where it is, and it's calling to us!Come on, let's meet it!" said Remidios.

In fact, the current Remidios is already the queen of time.

Xiao Ming nodded: "Okay!"

The crowd began to move, following the path paved by the light. I don't know how long I walked, in this world where there is no time and no space, walking has become a mechanical repetition, as if no matter how long I walk, no matter how far I walk, there is no real movement, and that road seems to never end.

Steve and the others' breathing became heavy, they could feel the heaviness of their bodies, strange and indistinct whispers burrowed into their ears, making people crazy, and when they wanted to say no to the whisper loudly, they found that they could not do anything except move their feet mechanically.

Heavier things landed overhead, rose from the soles of their feet, and invaded from everything around them.

They find themselves seemingly detached from their bodies, suspended in a perspective two meters above their bodies, observing everything around them, they can see their identities moving forward mechanically, they can feel the malicious whispers coming from everything around them, they feel cold, sleepy, impatient and desperate.

Gradually, Steve and the others found that their consciousness began to blur, began to dissipate, and began to repuls. Despair began. They can't change everything that happens. I can only watch it all.

Death and annihilation. Already hanging over their heads.

Darkness came like a tidal wave.

Xiao Ming turned his head and looked at the sluggish team members behind him, his eyes showing unbearable.

Steve: What they encountered was a soul attack, if Xiao Ming hadn't protected them, they might have dissipated their souls and died at the first time they were attacked, but Xiao Ming could only do this, in that abyss of spiritual despair. Steve: They had to climb up on their own.

"Let's wait!" Xiao Ming said to Remidios, holding up a soul guard.

Remidios, or the Queen of Time, nodded with a smile: "Kind child, your kindness will be your greatest weakness, but it will also be your strongest point!

Xiao Ming knew that the longer he dragged on here, the worse it would be for them, but he couldn't do anything to let him give up on Steve and them right now.

The pressure around them is getting stronger, this is the home of the Monument Carver, even if Xiao Ming wants to protect Steve and them here. It can also be extremely difficult. The anomalous light had completely engulfed everyone, like a merciless tsunami. Hope drowned out everything.

However, hope is like a glimmer of light, the darker it is, the brighter it appears.

"Sizzle!" a long breath rang out in the unusual light.

The black and white light flickered, once again holding up the sky.

Whew, whew!

Trig was the first to fully wake up, she was already desperate, but in the abyss of despair, she saw a little light, she recalled what Xiao Ming had said to her at the beginning, those malicious whispers could no longer stop her from waking up, she was like a drowning person grabbing the floating board, and finally poked her head out of the desperate water.

"Congratulations, kid, you've made it!" Remidios gave Trig an approving look.

"What's going on? We, aren't we heading to where the Monument Engraver is?" Trig was surprised to find that he didn't have anything on his body at all, power armor, clothes, everything was gone, but his body shimmered and became foggy.

"The previous lucidity was nothing more than an illusion, or should it be said that our first round of confrontation with the Monument Carver, and now, the second round. But remember, the invisible danger is everywhere, don't take it lightly!" Remidios said solemnly.

Terege recalled everything just now, and only felt extremely straightforward, but now she learned that it was an illusion at all, a confrontation at the spiritual level, which made her a little unable to react, but soon she calmed down again and looked at Xiao Ming, who was holding up the black and white sky on the side: "Is the captain protecting us?"

"Yes. He was a kind child. It will be much easier if he gives up on you!" Remidios said bluntly.

"Are we dragging down the captain?" said Tereig, hanging his head in a dejected manner.

"No, kid. You shouldn't think like that. Among the many possibilities of time, you have come this far, and when you stand here, there is naturally a reason for you to come here. There is no drag, only necessity and chance. Your existence is inevitable, and your choice is accidental!" said Remidios, unfathomable.

Trig didn't understand Remidios' words, but that didn't stop her from being determined: "No matter what, I'll help the captain." I'm not going to be a drag all the time!"

"It's good that you understand that. You're a good boy too. Just like those kids. Look, they woke up. Maybe not all of them, but even if they fall asleep, they can't hide their courage and determination. What they lacked was just a chance chance!" Remidios looked at one after the others who came to their senses, and then at those who had begun to dissipate as points of light.

In the end, seven people woke up, Marco, Lazak, and Hines could never wake up again, their souls dissipated, and their bodies turned to dust. But as Remidios said, their failure was not due to their incompetence or lack of determination. Everything is but an accident in the midst of necessity.

"Captain, Marco, they ......" Steve couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of him. But he believed Xiao Ming.

"They have sacrificed, and we will continue to walk!" Xiao Ming said indifferently: "Go on, so that their sacrifice can be meaningful!"

Life and death and persistence made Xiao Ming more detached and enlightened, and the realm was once again reminded, although there was no direct promotion, but it laid the foundation for the future. He began to understand the cause and effect of necessity and chance between Remidios, and he also began to understand the meaning of his own life and death, and the meaning of life and death.

"Captain, let's go. We're going to live with Mark and their share, complete the mission, and kill the engraver!" Edward waved his arms, as if he were vowing his own vow.

"En!" Xiao Ming nodded, then looked at the sky: "We don't need to go anywhere, here, it was originally a monument carver." Its 'test' on us is over, it has not been able to stop us, then, it is time for us to strike!"

The black and white light on Xiao Ming's body rose into the sky. Turning into black and white thunderclouds and flames, he looked up to the sky like a god of war and roared: "Monument carver, come out!"

"Ignorant mortals. Do you think that if you master a little soul art, you can challenge the gods?" Thunderous voices rolled in from all directions, turning into thunder and storms, tearing Xiao Ming and them to pieces.

Xiao Ming snorted coldly, doubled the trick, the soul devouring technique was launched, and the opponent's soul attack was completely calmed, and now he has understood that the role of the soul sutra is far from being as simple as he understands, just a soul devouring trick, there is an infinite application method, how far it can be played, it only depends on his own understanding and application.

"Hmph, boring trick. Is that all you have?" Xiao Ming sneered: "Your attack will only replenish my energy. Is it me or you who are ignorant? Worm, why do you think you are a god? Or, even if you are a god, what if you are? As long as you exist, I can kill you! God, you will still die!"

The domineering declaration made Steve and the others enthusiastic, and they couldn't wait to rush up to find the stele carver now, but they knew that they couldn't do this now, so they could only force themselves to calm down and wait for the opportunity.

"Hahahaha, mortal, your arrogance has made me amuse, and I have decided to kill the others and leave you alone. How about making you a funny person by my side, what do you think?" After the loud laughter, the strange light in the sky flickered, turning into a rolling cloud, out of which a huge figure emerged.

That is the image that the person who carved the monument embodied for himself. (To be continued......)
