Li Chunfeng's face became serious: "My world is very lucky. Since its birth, it has been more than 60 billion years before it collides with the chaotic world. But by then, we were able to get used to the chaos. So many people fled. ”

Li Yunxin's hand stopped on the wine glass. He turned his face to stare at Li Chunfeng and frowned: "You mean you...... From another world—another world apart from this world, my world?"

"Not unusual. Li Chunfeng said in a deep voice, "Countless universes collide and intertwine, producing something like an eye-decaying wormhole - when a world gradually begins to become chaotic, it will gradually become full of holes. Then there will be a traverser. This is a normal thing. ”

He paused and looked at Li Yunxin: "Crossing is not a rigorous statement. It should be called 'drop'. Drop from a more regular world to a more chaotic world. The fall of a person is a long process, much like the horizon of a black hole – you should know the horizon. ”

Originally, many emotions in my heart were temporarily blocked in front of the fact that "Li Chunfeng may be from another world". Li Yunxin said slowly: "You mean ......"

"Let's say a person falls into a black hole. ”

"In that moment he had been torn apart and pulled in. But the light particles in his body that were divergent and reflected also escaped outside the black hole—escaping to a boundary, and because of the black hole's gravitational pull, it could no longer go outward. It can be seen as a stop. So an observer outside the black hole can still see the person - he thinks he's still alive and there, but it's falling infinitely slowly. But all he saw was an image. Is this the kind of thing you mean?"

Li Chunfeng smiled approvingly. He nodded, "Yes." Of course, this is just a metaphor. The black hole itself is not connected to anything unknown. But space-time black holes could occur between two universes that are relatively close together. This kind of thing is the pathway between the two universes. You travel from your world, and the principle is similar. ”

Li Yunxin realized one thing. This made him change his face: "You mean. In my original world...... I still exist. ”

"It's still there. Li Chunfeng nodded, "Now you exist here and there." I said that falling is a very slow process, perhaps hundreds of millions of years. You've been here for more than ten years...... Over there, maybe just a few days. This kind of thing is not necessarily happening to you only in your world - maybe a lot of people are falling. But because the history of mankind is so short, no one has been able to observe the complete process. ”

Li Yunxin's fingers trembled slightly.

He drank one glass of wine, then two more glasses, and then raised his head to look at Li Chunfeng seriously, as if he didn't really know him until today: "In other words, you were not human before. Not any kind of existence that we can comprehend. You are from that world of yours...... Ran here. ”

Li Chunfeng nodded slowly: "Yes." But I'm on the run here—a planned escape. Or rather, I'm a savior. Fall...... It is a drop from a relatively orderly world to a more chaotic world. And I came the other way around - we used unimaginable resources and only sent out a few dozen 'people'. We are the saviors. ”

Li Yunxin looked at him in a daze for a while. But not with a sneer on his face as before. Then he slowly leaned back in his chair and sighed softly, "If this is true, why didn't you say it earlier." Is it just because I'm 'uncertain'?"

"You know, it's hard for people to understand the emotions of plants and trees. Li Chunfeng was silent for a while before shaking his head, "The difference between me and you in the past can be measured by people and plants." I adapt to the world...... It took a long time to get used to being a human being. That's why I said, you can see what kind of person you used to be. ”

"But even you used to be extremely successful for me. I have a way to save the world. He looked at Li Yunxin, "But it needs someone to cooperate." Not people from this world, but people from another world. So I'm waiting—not for Xie Sheng, but for people like you. I had even observed Chen Feng before that. ”

"But you didn't care about the world back then. And saving the world will cost you dearly—I need to know if you're the right fit. Or rather, I'm going to have to make you fit. ”

"You've gone from being ruthless to being affectionate, from not caring about anything to now having someone to risk to die for, it's all part of my plan. My eyes are never on Xie Sheng's body, but on you. I watched you shed the first tears for me and Shangguan Yue - when I was in Weicheng. I also know that you praised Liu Gongzan and those people who risked their lives to kill the 10,000-year-old ancestor. And then I know you're ready. ”

Li Yunxin's fingertips tapped lightly on the rim of the cup. And the noise outside the window is full of vitality. This makes the conversation between the two seem unreal, as if they were talking in a dream.

But Li Yunxin knew that what they were talking about was the naked and terrible truth of this world.

The vast world is just a tiny speck of dust shrunk in a small cosmic particle. And the two of them are the dust in the dust.

After a while, he whispered, "What do you need me to sacrifice?" ”

"Probably everything you have right now. Li Chunfeng said slowly, "This real world." ”

Li Yunxin took a deep breath: "You mean, the whole world is included in the picture scroll." You have subdued the Freemasons and the Danqing Taoists, and you are preparing for this matter. ”

"Daoist Danqing can draw the earth qi for me. Freemasons knew how to make mechanical drawings and could ensure the accuracy of the Taoist priests' writing. Coupled with the preparation I've been making, it's almost done. Li Chunfeng took out a scroll from his sleeve and slowly pushed it to Li Yunxin's side, "For the rest, you are now too supreme, and you can help me complete the last stroke." ”

"The painting path created by Shen Mu can be understood as using new laws to shrink the projection of the real world into another dimension. Then, in the same way I came, I asked you to bring this painted world back to your world. The projection is just an analogy - as if you are in this world right now, you are just a projection of you in that world. ”

"So this place can escape the catastrophe for a while. But the price you have to pay is that once you go back, your so-called supreme supernatural powers can only be fully effective in this painting. When it comes to yourself, your power will be greatly weakened by the lack of regular support. ”

"Only you can do that. Neither Chen Feng nor Xie Sheng can do it. ”

Li Yunxin pondered for a while and looked at him: "This is the so-called great sacrifice? You know I don't care about these things. These...... Strength. For me, it's just a by-product of survival. ”

Li Chunfeng smiled: "You don't care now, if it was the old you - between saving the world, and experiencing novel laws and discovering interesting things in this world, which one would you choose?" I think you would choose the latter. You don't care if you die with the world—as long as you're happy. ”

Li Yunxin suddenly stared at him: "Liu Gongzan is the person you arranged?" ”

Li Chunfeng thought about it and smiled: "No." ”

So Li Yunxin didn't ask, but only looked away again. After listening to the voices outside the window for a while, he said, "Tell me the truth." ”

Now, I can think of myself like this - in fact, the so-called father-son relationship is not important. ”

"In the midst of this grand destruction, you and I are just two travelers who have met by chance. If you look at it from this point of view, I can ignore a lot of what you do to me. ”

"You have your plan...... And the plan is not very evil, nor is it very bad. I was used, and something happened. Just like in my plan, Liu Gongzan is often used. But he didn't care. It's not a father and son......" Li Yunxin shook his head, "It doesn't matter what kind of family affection it is." We are the same people...... Now I can understand what I did before, and I can understand you. ”

"But since you and I are the same people, please don't hide anything from me anymore. He smiled—the first time he looked at Li Chunfeng—and said, "What sacrifices are there?" ”

Li Chunfeng sighed lowly: "Okay." There is indeed another thing. ”

When he said this, he dipped his fingertips in the wine and put two drops on the table. It's so close that it's almost together. But after all, there is still some distance between them, so they are still two independent drops of wine.

"When you fall from your world, it means that your world has begun the process of being eroded by chaos. ”

"But it's going to be a long process – it's just beginning. ”

"Again, I said you fell here because of a space-time black hole. Then this black hole is actually like a tube - or you in this world and you in that world, forming a tube. Connecting the two worlds. ”

"When you practice, you become strong when you come into contact with the chaotic laws here, and you are constantly storing water in this tube. When there is a certain amount of water, it begins to flow into your world—and then you have a lot of power in your body, and it becomes extremely strong. Because it can almost be seen that the great power of this chaotic world is beginning to erode your world through you. ”

He looked at Li Yunxin: "So you have achieved Taishang." Taishang has nothing to do with the state of mind, it's just an inevitable process—for a time-traveler like you. ”

"There are still a few Taishang in this world, and they use similar methods. Chen Feng achieved Taishang, Jinpeng achieved Taishang, and Xuanmen people achieved Taishang, all of them are the same truth—except that they do not establish this kind of passage between the two universes, but between this small world and the chaotic world outside. ”

"This little cycle also makes them powerful, but it also hastened the demise of the world. This is the way to quench your thirst by drinking a donkey. ”

"If you go back over there with this little world...... It means something like this. Li Chunfeng raised his hand and scratched between the two drops of wine on the table.

So the droplets immediately fused together and became a finished drop.

"The two worlds are more closely in contact, and the erosion will become stronger, and it will hasten the demise of your world. This process is extremely slow for people. But for the entire small universe, it may be billions or tens of billions of years in advance. ”

"That's another price. ”

Li Yunxin stared at the drop of water and said in a low voice: "It's been a lingering breath here, but it has accelerated my demise there." ”

"Yes. ”

He was silent for only two breaths before laughing and shaking his head: "If the trend of the entire universe is constantly colliding and constantly pushing chaos in the direction of order, then everything will be destroyed in the end." ”

"Compared to this megatrend...... And compared with human civilization and the life span of the universe, billions of years and tens of billions of years are not a big deal. Perhaps before something prematurely came to an end, human civilization would have perished more than 10 billion years ago. Why do you think I care about this kind of thing?" Li Yunxin raised his eyebrows, "Or is it very immoral in your past?"

Li Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes." It is very unethical. Be just like...... People here think it's immoral to kill a cute animal, even if they belong to different races. At my ...... It is a universally recognized moral code for previous civilizations to ensure that future civilizations have sufficient time and resources. ”

"But what we're going to do violates that moral code. This is because I have realized that this kind of morality is useless. Staying in a universe for a long time will only destroy, and the only way to do it is to keep running away towards a more livable world. This is also my disagreement with other people. ”

Li Yunxin smiled: "This is indeed the you I know." ”

Li Chunfeng also smiled: "It's also you I know." ”

The two looked at each other for a while, and Li Yunxin slowly turned his face: "Okay." In other words, after taking care of things on the ground, you have to do it. ”

"Yes. But I hope it's up to you to convince them. Li Chunfeng looked at him, "And to do this, we have to wait a while, not immediately." ”

"How long will it take?"

Li Chunfeng shook his head: "Look at the timing." It could be a few years, or it could be more than a dozen years, or decades. ”

Li Yunxin sighed: "Hmm." All right...... For those of you who have lived throughout the universe...... 'some time'...... Well, 'years, years, years, decades'...... All right. So where are they now? And in addition to waiting for these 'some times', are there any 'little things' to do?"

Li Chunfeng smiled. looked at him carefully and carefully, and there was an unusual look in his eyes: "There are indeed some small things. Shen Mu at the bottom wants to get his wife back from the astral boundary. For this reason, we have to kill Jin Peng and use his body to make that woman come. ”

Li Yunxin raised his eyebrows: "Hmm." So on the premise of killing him and keeping his body, you can ensure that he doesn't kill this world?"

Li Chunfeng raised his hand: "Then I want to ask you to meet an old friend." ”
