"You're wondering why I can communicate normally and they can't? Why do I know what you're thinking? You want to save this garbage, you want to kill me, you're angry because ...... Is it for the sake of the heart?"

Ruyuan's deep black eyes are in stark contrast to its pale skin, it calmly recounts everything it sees, only twenty meters apart, if it wants to do it, it can completely disperse Sorin's remnant soul in an instant, but what's the point?

Thorin thought that she had nothing to lose anymore, but when she looked directly into those eyes, her heart that should have been firm was shaken, and there was nothing in its eyes, it was nothingness, and even this majestic rain could not be reflected in it, what contempt, as if nothing in the world could enter its eyes.

Just one glance made Thorin almost lose the ability to think, her heart was engulfed in emptiness and despair in an instant, no matter how much Jade maintained, it still couldn't stop her body from dissipating, she couldn't resist, and she couldn't even think of resisting, just like Genos, who was standing on the sidelines, her eyes were blank, and death became the only choice.

"Because you have a heart, you are desperate, because you have a heart, you are weak, and because you have a heart, you will die...... Why the hell am I going after this thing? Is there really the answer I'm looking for?"

It looked up at the dark sky, let the cold rain fall on its face, it never hesitated when it gave up cultivation, it never became restless after sleeping for thousands of years, but when it was awakened, it was a little at a loss when facing this fragile world, such a weak creature, like ants, could it really give it the answer it wanted?

It can easily spy on people's hearts, can see through their minds, but even so, it still can't understand, what the so-called heart is, it has never had it, and naturally it will not be lost, Luo's remnant spirit has no effect on it, the ethereal spirit realm belongs to it, and the victory or defeat of the sage's battle has nothing to do with it, it is only here to seek an answer, an answer that has no meaning but has puzzled it to this day.

What exactly is the mind?

It has traveled through Daqian, up to the semi-saint Taiqing, down to the grass and tree spirits, asked all over again, but the final conclusion is ironic, the demon loses his heart but calls it his nature, the immortal Buddha forgets his heart but calls it the Taoist heart, the saint has no heart but calls it the Taishang forgetfulness, throughout the realm of Daqian, what the heart is, no one knows.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, seven emotions and six desires, are all obstacles to cultivation, and they only increase the number of calamities, and the vast majority of cultivators regard it as a snake and scorpion, and abandon it as if it were a shoehoe, and it is unintentional, if it is not for that calamity, if it is not for that immortal, it will not have an ethereal answer, give up cultivation, and fall into the void spirit realm.

Just as it was losing its mind, a shadow suddenly leaped down from the black cloud tree, impossible to detect under the sound of wind and rain and the perfect cover of shadows, and the steel-bladed claws clenched its shoulders, and its sharp teeth were aimed at its neck, and it bit down......

"Are you trying to kill me out of a desire to protect her? Aren't you afraid? Or are you willing to risk your own death to save her?"

By a fraction of a second, it stretched out its palm to block its neck, no matter how the human-faced monster bit and scratched, it couldn't hurt it in the slightest, its pale skin was countless times harder than steel, it looked at the human-faced monster calmly, its fingers lightly clasped its teeth, its thumb against its jaw, and slowly lifted the human-faced monster up.

"Woo ......"

A futile struggle, when death was imminent, the instinct to survive finally got the upper hand, and the human-faced monster whimpered, trying to break free from this pale hand, it seemed to want to escape.

"Are you afraid of death? If that's the case, why did you jump down and hide in the first place, and if you want to save her, why do you ask for mercy now? Why do you run away?"

This contradictory behavior is incomprehensible, but the human-faced monster obviously can't answer such a complicated question, it just wants to break free from this hand, it just wants to escape from this place, and when it clearly realizes how terrifying the other party is, Thorin's life and death have been forgotten by it.

“...... Aha...... Aha......"

Heavy breathing interrupted its thoughts, and it turned around in surprise, and Genos, who should have been in a deep illusion, actually regained his senses at this time, he knelt on the ground, his hands on the ground, and breathed in the cold air.

"I was surprised that you were able to break through the illusion, isn't that scene your most desperate moment?"

It slowly put down the human-faced monster, and with a flick of its fingers, the terrifying power of the Void Demon was vividly embodied at this moment, almost instantly, the black cloud tree blocking it dissipated like smoke and dust, and the violent energy swept the surrounding rain upside down in an instant.

A moment later, there was a flat road about three feet wide and endless, and the terrifying Black Forest was in front of it, like a weed under its feet, easily crushed, and the human-faced monster completely lost its trace, it seemed to disappear out of thin air, but the puddle of blood on the ground announced the end.

"What's your name? Oh yes, you can call me Wu, that's my name now. ”

In Wu's impression, human beings are naturally cowardly, afraid of loss, afraid of change, just want to quietly wait for a miracle to appear, always avoiding, fearing, despairing, this is not prejudice, but the conclusion he finally came to after countless travels to the mortal world, although there are people who make him admire, but after all, it is only a few, in the end, those who call themselves heroes and think they are strong are no match for time, no match for death, and no match for seven emotions and six desires.

If a person is able to get out of the most desperate illusion in his heart, no matter how high or low his realm is, in terms of mind alone, he has already surpassed many cultivators.

“......”

Genos didn't react for a long time, and even Wu's terrifying power didn't attract his attention, and the recurring nightmares tore at his reason like a poisonous snake, forcing him to return to that snowy night over and over again, experiencing despair over and over again, until he collapsed......

"Is it because of hate? Despair doesn't make you afraid, it evokes hatred, so you can get out of it, it's interesting, if I tear your chest, can I see the hatred in your heart, if I break your skull, can I ...... Huh?"

Wu condescendingly looked down at Genos, his right hand against Genos's forehead, the slender pale fingers were unusually soft, just as he was about to make a move, a strange roar from not far away attracted his attention, and a large area of black cloud trees broke down, and invisible fluctuations spread towards here.

"When what is called nature is also erased, what is left? Is it instinct? A hungry beast or a puppet that moves in the thread? Unfortunately, what you are striving for is only a chessboard in the eyes of those few people, but a wedding dress, and he once asked me, if the way of heaven is destined for everything, if so, how should sentient beings deal with themselves? If not, how should sentient beings deal with themselves? I could not answer at the time, and I still can't answer now, but maybe you already have the answer, and I will read it. ”

Wu waved his right hand, lightly blocking the terrifying fluctuations from the roar, the same as the void demon, but he is not a victim, he is just looking for an answer, the same is a cultivator of the ghost abyss, and the half-holy remnant spirit can't help him, he is also one of the few in the void abyss who can wake up in the void soul state, and leave the existence, but even so, he can't maintain this state for a long time, since leaving the void abyss, the ban on the void spirit world has become a shackle, he needs a body, in order to get rid of the suppression of the ban, just like those void demons, just find someone to give a gift, and then devour the soul and occupy the body, otherwise he has been in the state of the void soul, Lingzun's ban is not child's play, without the protection of the abyss, no matter how strong the soul is, it will be difficult to escape the gods.

"Forget it, see you next time, if you're still alive. ”

The moment Wu turned around, his body dissipated like dust in the wind, he lost the interest in continuing, Luo remnant spirit recovered, and countless void demons were born, which was enough to prove that time was running out, and he had not yet found the answer he wanted, but before that, he decided to find a more pleasing body first.

With Wu leaving, the last aftermath of the roar swept in, and a strong sense of crisis finally woke up Genos, he only had time to glance to the left and immediately lay down, as far as possible to keep his body close to the ground, invisible energy swept by, Austin who stood in place, and Gilles, who had died a long time ago, their upper bodies turned into a rain of blood in an instant, and only their legs were still standing in place, very weird.

Sorine was in a state of deep despair and distraction, if it weren't for Jade's spontaneous protection, her remnant soul would have been directly dispersed, the fear of almost dying made Sorine gradually regain her senses, her body was still trembling, the void demon was completely different from what she had seen before, if the void demon that destroyed Belan was terrifying, then this one was terrifying from the heart.

You can see in his eyes the picture that you least want to see in your life, experience the most complete despair, feel the coldest loneliness, and all this will eventually turn into nothingness, and at that time, the heart will die, not because you don't want to resist, but you can't resist at all, unless you ...... You don't have a heart at all.

“......”

Genos looked up at Soreen in a distracted manner, as if he was trying to remember something, his memory at the moment was very confusing, but this couldn't be blamed on him, no matter how strong his will was, at that time, it was not equal at all, and when he experienced despair countless times in an eternal illusion, when the nightmare cycle was repeated and difficult to extricate himself, there was no essential difference between collapsing once and collapsing ten thousand times.
