Chapter 2040: Hidden Glass Heart

.

After the girl finished speaking, she should have breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart suddenly started beating faster, and the thumping sound almost filled her entire soul.

During this time in the secular world, she had a clearer understanding of her appearance. She had rejected countless people's approach and felt too many infatuated or greedy gazes.

And at this moment, after she entered the sea of fog... it was also the first time in her life that she took the initiative to invite a man. The strange feeling of tension was extremely strange and complicated.

The first time in life is always full of novelty and nervousness, and is always unforgettable.

Not surprisingly, the man in front of her looked at her in astonishment and didn't speak for a long time.

Hua Caili would certainly not forget the several times she had met Yun Che. Every time, Yun Che would quickly turn around and leave, completely unwilling to have anything to do with her.

She was particularly impressed by the sentence "Because we are not from the same world".

Given Yun Che's previous behavior, she would not be surprised if he directly refused. Just as she was about to say something else, she saw Yun Che nodded slightly: "Okay, then I'll be grateful for not abandoning you." "Huh?" Hua Caili did not hide her surprise at all, and then said half-jokingly: "I thought you would refuse. Before, every time you met me, you would walk away immediately, leaving me no chance to thank you, as if there was something wrong with me.

It's like something terrible."

“How could that be.” Yun Che smiled and shook his head: “For a person like Fairy Sister, it is a great honor to meet her once in a lifetime. How could anyone avoid her? Previously, it was just…”

He smiled slightly, and said meaningfully, "I have already said the reason. After all, we are from two different worlds. I know I shouldn't be close to you, so I chose to retreat."

"Why do you think so?" She thought for a moment and asked seriously. "Some things cannot be hidden." Yun Che said in an exceptionally calm tone: "Fairy sister's origin is noble. When I first met you in Helian Imperial City in Linyuan Realm, your words and actions made me understand that your origin is noble.

The nobility of the universe is beyond my imagination, let alone my ability to touch it."

His tone seemed to become even calmer: "People from different worlds should not have any intersection."

Above the gray sky, Hua Qingying's pair of blue eyes fell on Yun Che's body, and suddenly became hazy, and her heart suddenly felt a sharp pain.

She knew that Yun Che was narrating a truth that was cruel in reality but that too many people were unwilling to admit.

Such words should belong to the enlightenment of someone who has experienced countless vicissitudes of life or suffered countless scars, and should not come from a person who has less than sixty years of experience and is supposed to be ignorant and frivolous.

Just like Hua Caili, she might understand the surface at this moment, but she definitely cannot understand the true meaning of these words. "But, if that's the case, we are actually in a world called the Abyss, so how can we not be considered people from the same world?" Hua Caili blinked and argued in disagreement: "Then why are you willing to...

Come with me? I'm ready to be rejected by you." "Of course I can't refuse the request of my savior." Yun Che answered calmly: "In fact, I always think that a person like Fairy Sister must have a very powerful person secretly protecting her when she is training outside, so before...

I feel like I am meddling in other people’s business.”

Hua Caili's eyes were turbulent: No wonder...

"But now it seems that Fairy Sister is actually training alone."

Yun Che’s words were well-founded. After all, if he hadn’t made a dangerous move at the last moment, Hua Caili would have been killed by Fan Qingzhou’s sword.

"My aunt said that if you rely on something during your training, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough, and it can't be considered a true training. So..."

Her butterfly-like long eyelashes fluttered at the right time. She was obviously not very good at lying, so as long as she didn't say the rest of the words out loud and let Yun Che understand them himself, then it wouldn't count as lying.

“I see.” Yun Che then asked, “Aunt?”

“Yes! Aunt is also my master. She was the one who pushed me to come out and gain experience.” Hua Caili moved lightly and stood beside Yun Che: “So, from now on, we are companions, right?”

Yun Che nodded very solemnly: “Okay. Fairy Sister, I will repay you for saving my life with my own life. Before Fairy Sister recovers from her injuries, I will do my best to protect you.”

Hua Qingying could tell that there was a hint of rational distance in his serious words.

Given Hua Caili's elegance and background, anyone who approaches her will inevitably have all sorts of schemes in their mind.

However, Yun Che was faced with Hua Caili who approached him actively, but...

This is the person who has inherited the power of light. Perhaps it is indeed as recorded, the soul of light cannot tolerate any worldly evil.

"By the way, I still don't know...the fairy sister's fairy name?" His clear eyes were filled with some anticipation.

Hua Caili took a few steps forward lightly, leaving him with only her back to look at. “My name is Qu Yixin.”

Then she added a rather redundant explanation: "This is the name my aunt gave me."

…………

…………

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the two early-stage Divine Lord beasts were shattered in mid-air before they could get close, and there was no sound anymore.

Yun Che carefully scanned the surroundings before slowly lowering his arm.

"So, you stayed in the Linyuan Realm and participated in the Linshen Conference to repay the kindness of the royal princess?"

Hua Caili asked beside him, not being affected by the sudden appearance of the Abyss Beast. "The sandstorm outside the Linyuan Realm was very shocking. I was seriously injured at the time. If it weren't for Princess Helian's rescue, I don't know how long I would have been trapped in the sandstorm." Yun Che narrated casually: "In return, I temporarily joined the Helian

Even the royal family won them the qualification to enter the Kirin God Realm."

"So that's how it is. At that time, I thought you were the consort of that royal princess." Hua Caili said with a smile.

Yun Che looked puzzled and asked, “Why do you think so?”

“Because you two are very close. And between you… in short, that’s how it makes people feel. I think a lot of people would think so.” She glanced at Yun Che’s surprised expression, a hint of mischief gathered between her brows.

Ever since she stepped into the sea of fog, her mind had never been so relaxed, and even her beautiful eyes seemed to have thousands of stars in them.

Being alone in the sea of fog, one must be alert at all times, and even a moment of respite could lead to a sudden crisis. Every breath is like being immersed in a depressing and terrifying swamp of gray.

If you have someone to accompany you, one person can be on guard while the other one can rest, and the pressure you bear will be more than doubled.

“How is that possible?” Yun Che laughed and shook his head. “She is a princess of the royal family, and I am just a rootless duckweed that was swept into the Linyuan Realm by a sandstorm. If it weren’t for the kindness she gave me, there would be no intersection between her and me.”

“You always take favors very seriously.” Without any pressure in her heart, Hua Caili’s steps were much lighter than before: “After you entered the Unicorn Realm, did you see the legendary Unicorn with your own eyes?” Yun Che shook his head directly, with no regrets on his face: “No. I have no interest in entering the Unicorn Realm itself. I only participated in the Unicorn Meeting to repay the favor of Princess Helian. After entering the Unicorn Realm with the Helian royal family, I only stayed

In just a few hours, he came out and left the Linyuan Realm."

"Ah?" A look of surprise covered that half jade-like face. "You actually...just left? Didn't the royal princess try to keep you? They...especially her, should be reluctant to let you go."

Yun Che smiled and shook his head: "I have fully repaid the favor by helping the Helian royal family gain the qualification to enter the Linshen Realm. Now that the grudges have been settled, I naturally have no reason to continue to stay in the Linyuan Realm." "As you thought, I also thought that she might very well try to keep me. If I refuse her in person, it will hurt her heart. And the master has taught me that as a man, you can kill a woman's body, but you can't hurt her heart. So I had no choice but to leave without saying goodbye.

“Is that so…” Hua Caili tilted her head slightly, trying hard to understand Yun Che’s words.

She had so many questions she wanted to ask him that she didn't know where to start.

Because there were so many things about him that made her feel novel.

Especially...he is the one that even my aunt is so curious about.

There was a long silence, and the girl suddenly glanced sideways: "By the way, Mr. Yun, where are you from? And why are you out here alone?"

“Origin?” Yun Che shook his head: “I have no origin.”

"No...background?" Hua Caili couldn't understand: "How can a person have no background? For example, where is your home, your parents and relatives..."

Yun Che looked ahead: "In this world... I don't have a home, nor do I have any parents or relatives."

His home, his parents and relatives are not in this abyss, but in another world.

He didn't lie a single word.

But when Hua Caili heard these words, it sounded like he was speaking the saddest words in the world in the calmest voice.

Hua Caili turned her head suddenly, and the stars in her beautiful eyes seemed to shatter for a moment. Even her voice suddenly became much softer: "Is it...did you encounter a big change?" The man in her sight shook his head again, his tone as calm as before: "Since I came to this world, I have never had a home. As for my parents and relatives, I have never even seen them, let alone my origin. The change you mentioned...

It was a misfortune for others, but for me, I didn’t even have the chance to experience such a misfortune.”

"Losing something may hurt, but at least I once had it. And I... in this vast abyss, there is no place for me to come from, and no way for me to return."

The voice was as calm as the breeze, without any emotion. But when it fell into the girl's ears, it made her breathing suddenly stop, and her heart and soul seemed to be pulled up by something heavy, causing an unbearable pain.

Yun Che suddenly turned around, and smiled at the girl’s bright eyes: “Does it sound sad? Hahaha, actually it’s nothing to me. After all, it’s been like this since I came to this world, and I’ve long been used to it.”

As he laughed, the stars in the girl's eyes seemed to have a few more shatters.

Yun Che secretly sneered… Such a strong sense of empathy, with such a mentality, is she worthy of being a goddess of the kingdom of gods?

Her road of experience is too long.

But of course this is the best thing for him.

At the same time, the doubt in his heart became even stronger... According to the information he learned in the Linyuan Realm and the few memories he grabbed from the Mengjian Continent, the name of the Caili Goddess of the Zhetian Divine Kingdom has existed for at least thousands of years.

In his knowledge, those who had experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes were all able to remain unperturbed when faced with mountains of corpses and seas of bones, let alone the seemingly bleak past of an unrelated person.

No matter how well she was protected, no matter how she had never been in the world before, she still had thousands of years of life experience. Could her understanding of human nature and the laws of survival really be so shallow and immature?

"Maybe, I might have had it before." He whispered casually.

The girl was touched and asked, “Could it be that you… have lost your past?” Yun Che nodded, “When I woke up in this world, I faced endless darkness and the master who woke me up. The master told me that I was about ten years old at that time, and my body and soul were severely damaged. If I hadn’t met the master,

"The injured soul was also healed by the master with a miraculous method. The fact that he was able to wake up again is a miracle in the eyes of the world. As for the past memories, they have all been destroyed, leaving no trace, and naturally they will never be touched again.

and the past. ”

His voice was calm and gentle, as if he was narrating an ordinary experience. There was no sadness, no regret, no complaint about fate, and not even a trace of longing for the past.

Hua Caili looked at him, stunned for a long time without realizing it, then lowered her head and said softly: "I have never seen my mother, and my birthday is my mother's death anniversary."

Yun Che: "..." "My father is very good to me, and so is my aunt, and... everyone is very good to me, but I still often think of my mother whom I have never met, and envy others for having their mother's love and scolding, and always regret it.

My life has an irreparable flaw." She continued: "And during this experience, I witnessed countless darkness and misery that I had never imagined before, especially... that time I watched several newborn babies being cruelly abandoned because of their innate lack of talent.

They don’t even have the qualifications to grow.”

The misery before one's eyes is a thousand times more painful than hearing it described in words. But in this cruel world of the abyss, most creatures have long been accustomed to it.

“It was during this period that I gradually realized that my life was so lucky.” She raised her eyes and looked at him again with a comforting gaze. Just as she was about to speak, Yun Che glared back at her: “Are you trying to comfort me? I never think I’m miserable. On the contrary. I always think that I am

The luckiest person in the world."

"It goes without saying that I was resurrected from the dead. Meeting my master in this life is a blessing that others cannot even hope for in a lifetime."

When the word "Master" was mentioned, his body almost subconsciously straightened up, his head slightly tilted up, and his eyes, which never showed any emotion even in dangerous situations, were filled with deep admiration.

"Your master must be a remarkable man." Hua Caili lowered her voice, cautiously, and asked tentatively, "He must be very famous, right?"

Hua Qingying's attention was immediately focused on Yun Che, observing every change in his facial expression.

With the power of the Divine Lord Realm, he defeated the God Destroyer Realm, possessed five kinds of elemental powers, and the light profound power that only existed in records... She was extremely curious about who Yun Che's master was.

With her extensive knowledge, she found that there was no one who could match her. Yun Che shook his head and said slowly and solemnly: "Sister Qu saved my life, and I shouldn't have concealed anything. But... Master has been very kind to me, but he has very few requirements for me, one of which is that I must never

"

Hua Caili was startled and said quickly, “I was presumptuous.” Yun Che showed a slight shame on his face and hesitated for a while before saying, “My master is not actually a person in this world. In fact… he is not a person, but a lingering soul. Apart from me, he has no connection with anything in this world.

Therefore, his fame never existed in the world at that time. "

"Saving me was an accident that was caused by his kindness... This is all I can tell Sister Qu. Please forgive me."

There was a hint of apology in his voice, which made Hua Caili feel warm and a little panicked. She shook her head: "Of course I have to follow the master's teachings. Your master is now..."

Yun Che smiled faintly: “After Master gave me everything, he disappeared between heaven and earth. From then on, I entered the world alone. Unknowingly, many years have passed.”

Above the sky, Hua Qingying frowned and murmured, "Ancient Relic Soul?"

In the ancient abyss, countless gods and demons fell. As the dust of the abyss gradually became thinner and the living land appeared, some gods and demons began to barely survive, while more of them left behind their souls in different forms when they perished.

In ancient times, ancient souls were often discovered, but they became increasingly rare as time went by. In modern times, it is rare to see one in hundreds of thousands of years.

If Yun Che's "master" is a wisp of ancient soul that has never appeared in the world, then those strange and even non-existent abilities of his have a unique explanation.

…………

The easternmost part of the world, the wall of chaos.

Chi Wuyao, Qianye Ying'er, and Shui Meiyin stood in front of the wall of chaos, all with solemn expressions.

The directions of the sound source from various star realms, the debris of the planets destroyed by the terrifying sound wave, all pointed to... the source of that terrifying sound was not a star realm, but the Chaos Wall! Shui Meiyin stretched out her hand, and the Qiankun Thorn, which had lost its crimson divine light, touched the Chaos Wall where the power of the law was flowing. After a moment, she whispered, "It's intact. However, even if the Chaos Wall is damaged, it will be repaired in an instant.

. It is impossible to say what happened before. "

“This location…” Qianye Ying’er exhaled slowly: “It’s almost the same place as when the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor broke through the wall and returned to the world.”

“Could it be that the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor and the demon gods under her…” “That’s impossible.” Before Qianye Ying’er could finish her words, Chi Wuyao rejected her: “The Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor and the demon gods under her were able to exist in the Outer Chaos for so many years because they relied on the space created by the Qiankun Thorn in the Outer Chaos.

The Chaos Wall also relies on the power of the Heavenly Universe Thorn. "When the Heaven-Smiting Demon Emperor returned, he left the Heavenly Universe Thorn in this world. Without the support of the Heavenly Universe divine power, the protective space of the outer chaos will inevitably collapse soon. After so many years, the Heaven-Smiting Demon Emperor and his demon gods should have long since died.

able. "

She deliberately avoided one person... that was Jasmine who was thrown into the Outer Primal Chaos by Zhou Xuzi. Her existence was much more fragile than that of the Heavenly Tribulation Demon Emperor and the other demon gods. She was killed almost instantly when she was thrown into the Outer Primal Chaos.

“Even if he really survives, without the Qiankun Thorn, the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor himself will never be able to break through the Wall of Chaos.”

Chi Wuyao's words were all facts within their cognition. Qianye Ying'er and Shui Meiyin were unable to raise any objections.

When the Heaven-Smiting Devil Emperor left behind the Qiankun Thorn, it was decided that she and the other demon gods would soon be completely annihilated in the outer chaos.

"It seems that you already have the answer in your mind?" Qianye Ying'er said. Chi Wuyao nodded slightly: "I tried to search through the knowledge of Nirvana Demon Emperor. Similar situations have occurred many times in ancient times, on average once every six million years. The cause may be the impact of external chaotic matter, or the space vortex of external chaos.

The dimensional explosion caused when the current hits the wall of chaos."

Qianye Ying'er thought for a moment and said, "It sounds like an explanation that is easy for people to accept."

“It seems that there is no other possibility. It can’t be that the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor has another Qiankun Thorn in his hand.”

Chi Wuyao turned her head away and no longer looked at the Wall of Chaos: “Now, all the beings in the God Realm are trapped in the panic brought about by the abyss. It has been extremely difficult to calm down to this point. We must not cause any more trouble.”

She pointed her finger, and a rather large dark sound transmission array spread out in front of her:

“This wave of sound was caused by the collision of external chaotic matter with the Chaos Wall. It has now completely subsided and there will be no further trouble. Huan Jin, spread this theory to all circles as soon as possible to reassure everyone.” After the sound transmission array was put away, Chi Wuyao turned around decisively: “The Chaos Wall is something outside the laws. Even if you spend ten thousand times more time, you will not be able to get a glimpse of it. Now that the only possible cause has been found, there is no need to waste any more energy.

Qianye Ying'er and Shui Meiyin didn't say much. The three women left, but each had their own thoughts.

Chi Wuyao was not one to make decisions lightly. She had found the most likely and appropriate reason, but deep in her heart, an undercurrent was still surging, and it took a long time to stop.

Combined with the fragmentary memories of the Nirvana Demon Emperor, Chi Wuyao's cognition far surpassed that of any living being in the world today.

Even someone as powerful as the ancient creator god or the Demon Emperor would never be able to break through the wall of chaos.

According to the knowledge of the Nirvana Demon Emperor, the only things that have the ability to break through the wall of chaos are the Ancestral Sword of Heaven-Slaying, the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, and the Qiankun Thorn which has extreme spatial power!

There has been no trace of the Zhutian Ancestral Sword since ancient times. The Qiankun Thorn has been exhausted in Shui Meiyin's hand.

And the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations...

Chi Wuyao’s breathing suddenly stopped.

But immediately, that flash of thought was completely wiped out. The Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations was thrown into the Outer Chaos along with the Heavenly Killing Star God Jasmine. By that time, the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations had already completely decayed with the changes in the Chaos. Although Jasmine, who had transformed into an Evil Infant, could kill the God Emperor, she was far inferior to the Demigod.

Wei's sad and miserable.

In other words, the power of the evil infants of this era is not even as powerful as that of the demigods. Compared with the demon gods of the outer chaos, they are even more insignificant.

Such an evil infant could not possibly survive in the outer chaos, let alone release enough power to shake the wall of chaos.

Chi Wuyao secretly let out a breath and tried her best to put away all her strange thoughts.

The calamity of the abyss hangs high above his head, and Yun Che falls into a life-or-death situation alone... In this world of ill-fated fate, no more disasters must occur.

On the other side, Shui Meiyin clasped the Qiankun Spear with both hands, and her soul sea trembled inexplicably.

When it touched the wall of chaos just now, Qiankun Thorn... was trembling?

Is this an illusion?
