Dusk as desert, dark as water.

It was as if the consciousness was trapped in a dark and long corridor.

There is no past, no past, no sustenance, no sustenance.

All I saw was darkness, a mesmerizing darkness, as if I could sink into it forever, and I would be able to enjoy sweet black dreams forever.

Exhaustion.

Sleepy.

Lonely.

The soul sinks uncontrollably.

This darkness seems to say, "If you stop here, you will find infinite peace."

No more worries, no more effort, and no more trekking through the sea of hardship day in and day out.

That is the end of everything, and it is the ultimate end.

And yet—

But there is still a trace of obsession in my heart that has not dissipated.

It's like a kite string, holding yourself firmly and not wanting to fall any further.

In the chaotic dream, the memories of the past are vaguely revived.

Flames, trucks, explosions, boiling heatwaves, blazing pain from behind...... and the horror and pain in the eyes of the woman he was watching.

…… What's her name?

Why is it so painful?

It was an indescribable pain.

It's as if even the hearts are screaming together.

For a moment, her name was recalled.

So even the nerves inside his body were clenched, and he couldn't help but shout as if he was about to roar out his lungs:

“…… ......"

“…… Wow! ”

Followed by. It was a surprise response, but it wasn't its voice.

When I opened my eyes, a furry face appeared in front of me.

The gray dog shouted happily at him who had lost his mind:

"Oops, you're finally awake!"

……

Lin Heng struggled to get up from the ground.

Grey Shadow crouched in front of him.

"Where is this...... Also, you're—"

Lin Heng shook his head.

He just wanted to say "who", but vaguely felt a little unsecure; I want to say "something", but this gray dog doesn't seem to be within the scope of the concept of "thing".

After a moment's hesitation, the noun at the end was finally removed, and the whole sentence protruded from the table like a half-suspended axe handle.

"I am? Of course I'm the dog who saved you? I know you may have a lot of doubts in your mind, but if you look through what is in your mind, you should find answers. ”

The gray shadow looked at Lin Heng and said familiarly. The above sentence was learned from a popular online book, in which the character equivalent of "Big Brother" said this to the protagonists who had just woken up from a coma in a high-speed carriage.

After reading that book, Gray Shadow also liked its story very much, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to cosplay.

When Lin Heng heard this, he wanted to say something at the first time, but he still pressed it, was silent, and searched in his mind.

Because of the two successful transcendents Yang Luo and Mio Ito as a precedent, Xi Gu is now very proficient in this aspect of the "setting supplement".

Especially after the "Perception Pendant" developed by him through the Shenmu clone has pushed the research of the spiritual field to a new level, and now he can bury the relevant "settings" in the "connection", and he does not need to take the initiative to inform himself, as long as the transcendent awakens, he can extract relevant memories and knowledge from the brain.

- In this sense, it is a bit like the "bloodline" in some fantasy.

Browsing the memories in his mind, Lin Heng's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and his face became more and more stiff.

"'Yan Shen Temple', 'Yan Shen Temple Master', 'Secret Medicine', 'Divine Messenger', 'Disciple'...... Could it be that Yang Luo really has extraordinary strength, and his power comes from this kind of existence?

“…… However, the existence of something like this ...... Why hasn't there been a trace of it for many years? ”

Thanks to the video footage he saw in Shen Yunxi's mobile phone at the beginning, as well as the follow-up investigation of Yang Luo's clues, Lin Heng was not too shocked, revealing an expression of shattered worldview.

But no matter what he said in the past, he was a little unbelieving after all, and he always wondered if there would be some hidden transnational criminal group or underground organization behind Yang Luo. Now that the truth is known, it turns out that there are really supernatural forces in the world, and above the heads of all beings, there is still chaos, and the gods in the chaos will wake up soon.

…… Such an impactful fact still showed a slight expression of loss on his face.

"—so I'm now the chosen 'disciple', the new transcendent?"

He asked at Grey Shadow, but it looked more like muttering to himself.

He glanced at his blackened hands, which seemed to be covered in a layer of charcoal, and his heart jumped, but he was even more startled by the lack of any pain in his hands.

"It's ......"

Accompanied by Lin Heng's words, the next moment, a "snapping" sound came from the surface of his body.

Then, there was a sound of a stone case cracking in small pieces.

Outside of his body, the parts that had been charred fell to the ground one by one, and the new body reappeared in the forest during this time.

"Is this the extraordinary......"

Lin Heng said in a distraction, and as soon as he shook his hands, a sonic boom sounded in an instant, like a large string of firecrackers exploding in his palm.

But there was no joy on his face.

He just stared, and after his rebirth, his hands were as delicate as white jade.

Then he turned to the gray shadow, and said in a deep voice to the gray dog who had been quietly watching the change:

"Thank you for saving me...... I should call you ...... 'Grey Shadow Emissary', right? ”

Gray Shadow waved his right front paw at him with a big grin, and said nonchalantly:

"Oh, why are you so polite? The transcendence of our 'Yan God Temple' should not pay attention to the red tape of those mortals. ”

A dog here keeps saying "mortal red tape", which should be a very joyous scene.

But Lin Heng didn't laugh at all.

He just stared at the gray shadow and continued to ask:

"Divine Envoy, the fire wave that involved me at that time was actually created by Yang Luo, right? Is he also a disciple of the Temple of the Gods? ”

Gray Shadow shook his head.

"Of course, but he's not my choice. The guy who created him, called Black Moon, is a rather odious Black Hawk. ”

"Black Moon, Black Moon ......"

Lin Heng read these names over and over again in his mouth, and was silent for a while.

Then, staring straight at the gray shadow, extremely cautious and extremely careful, expecting the result and fearing to fall into the abyss, he asked word by word:

"Gray Shadow Messenger, may I ask...... Do you know how the girl who was involved in the fire wave created by Yang Luo with me is now? ”
