Chapter 144

What lies before us is a barren, scorched earth. After countless years of war, disasters, plagues, and famines, most life has died. Only snakes, insects, rats, and ants remain active in every corner of the planet, feeding on the bodies of dead creatures.

The thick resentment that was almost invisible formed a long-lasting red mist that permeated every corner of the planet and continued to spread towards the pure earth and sky.

Even demons cannot survive in such a harsh environment.

Su Ci was suspended in mid-air, his expression indifferent.

He had just woken up from a deep sleep, his slightly curly golden hair was scattered and fluttering gently in the wind, and his beautiful eyes changed between light gold and blood red.

The planet was eroded by resentment, and the spirit of the earth was not spared.

But the young man's expression was so calm.

After waking up and facing such a mess, he was a little surprised at first, but he quickly calmed down and accepted it all very calmly.

He had lived for far too long, and everything in the world was boring to him. He was also tired of the rise and fall of things and the encounters and partings that came with it.

So, he fell into sleep more and more, killing time in sleep.

But he didn't expect that this time, the creatures on earth would bring such a large-scale disaster. Not only would his country be destroyed, but even he who was sleeping would be implicated.

If he doesn't find a solution, then after the resentment consumes him, he will head towards the endless void, and he will be controlled by the resentment and will not be able to control himself.

No matter how disgusted with the world he was, this was a result Su Ci could not tolerate.

So, he chose to take action.

A dazzling golden light emerged from his body, and his red sleeves rustled in the wind.

Even someone as powerful as Su Ci had no good way to deal with such large-scale resentment.

So, he endured the bone-gnawing pain and personally peeled off the part of his soul that was contaminated by resentment. He used this part of his soul as a sacrifice and cast the most powerful sealing technique since the formation of the world.

The wind and clouds surged between heaven and earth. As part of Su Ci's soul fell into the earth, the resentment and resentful spirits that filled the entire heaven and earth were all absorbed into the earth and sealed up completely.

The whole world became clear.

However, as the resentment merged into the earth, the little life that already remained on the planet also quickly withered and died, eventually falling into a dead silence.

This planet has become a dead star.

The young man, whose golden pupils had recovered, slowly opened his eyes. His beautiful, shining golden hair had turned completely silver-white.

He is just a remnant of soul, like a candle in the wind, which may go out at any time.

This was the first time Su Ci was so close to death.

As the spirit of the earth, if he possessed enough will to survive, he might still be able to survive and wait until the day the earth revived, but...

He has lived too long.

He found the originally vibrant world boring, not to mention that now he was the only one left in the world?

Death may be the best destination.

His figure gradually faded, but a smile slowly appeared on his face, as if he saw his "old friends" who had left many years ago.

Only because gods are ruthless can they last forever with heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, he could never become a true god...

Su Ci looked at the sky. Perhaps the only regret in his life was that he had never been to the sky to take a look.

But now, it doesn't matter.

He stood quietly in the air, waiting for eternal sleep, but before his consciousness faded, the void in front of him suddenly changed.

A vortex slowly appeared, and a platinum-colored light lit up. It started by rotating slowly, then gradually accelerated, and finally turned into a small platinum-colored ball of light.

Su Ci was stunned when he saw this scene.

The platinum ball of light flew in front of him anxiously, full of anxious emotional fluctuations, as if stumbling towards him.

This ball of light... is actually a newborn soul.

"Are you...Tian Dao?"

Su Ci couldn't help but sigh, "Your luck is not very good to become a spirit at this time."

It is very difficult to make dead things spirits, especially the illusory Heavenly Dao, which is the embodiment of rules and does not even have a specific form.

Over the long years, Su Ci had also hoped that the Heavenly Dao would one day become a spirit.

If Heavenly Dao were to become a spirit, perhaps He would have a chance of becoming a truly ruthless god. After all, Heavenly Dao was an absolutely rational being, and shouldn't be bound by shackles like He was.

However, that expectation was gradually forgotten over the long years, and finally Su Ci had to admit that the possibility of becoming a spirit was extremely small.

However, today, when the earth was dead silent and about to fall into eternal sleep, the Heavenly Dao finally awakened and came before him.

Su Ci felt complicated for a moment, but he did not think about surviving.

He was really tired and now all he wanted was to sleep forever.

"don't want!"

"Su, please don't die!"

The small ball of light began to stretch and transformed into a human figure. It was a young man with childish features, platinum hair, and an earnest pleading expression on his handsome face.

Su Ci looked at him calmly.

His real name consists of just one word: "Su".

Among the ancient practitioners, no one would use his real name when traveling in the world, as it would easily make him a target of the enemy, so he followed the crowd and added a character after "Su".

How could this child...

Thinking that he was a spirit sent from heaven, Su Ci felt relieved.

"Feel sorry……"

Before Su Ci could finish his words, the strange young man in front of him suddenly gave him a slightly sad smile, and then his new spiritual body burst out with a bright and dazzling light.

His expression gradually became solemn.

"In the name of the rules, I sacrifice all my strength to rewrite the rules—"

He began to recite, his platinum eyes gazing deeply at Su Ci, his eyes filled with unspeakable emotions. In the end, all the sadness turned into blessings.

"From this moment on, the Earth Spirit will no longer be bound by the earth. He can go wherever he wants!"

With a roar, the rules that had long bound the Earth Spirit were completely shattered after he finished speaking.

Su Ci's face was full of disbelief.

He could go wherever he wanted... He stared at the young man blankly.

After sacrificing all his strength, the young man's newly formed spirit body began to become illusory, and his vitality was slowly dissipating.

Su Ci knew clearly how much it would cost to rewrite this rule!

"Su, you are free." The young man smiled at him.

"Why are you doing this?" Su Ci was puzzled.

"Tianwaitian, don't you want to go out and take a look?" The young man who was disappearing had a smile on his face.

Su Ci frowned, feeling unhappy that his thoughts were being peeped into.

“Don’t be angry…”

"Actually, I've been watching you, even though you don't know it, but..."

The young man stretched out his hand and carefully touched Su Ci's cheek. Seeing that Su Ci did not dodge, he held Su Ci's face with both hands, and then -

In Su Ci's astonished gaze, she gently kissed his lips.

Their lips touched lightly, and before Su Ci could react, the young man's figure turned into dots of platinum light.

His last words echoed between heaven and earth.

"If we can meet again in the future, can you give me a chance?"

Those warm words filled with sincere love filled the entire void and took a long time to disappear.

It was not until this time that Su Ci came back to his senses.

The slender white fingertips touched his lips lightly. The kiss just now came too suddenly... He raised his eyes and looked at the world where he was standing alone. Everything just now seemed like an illusion.

But the changed rules told him that it was indeed what happened.

After a long time, Su Ci put down his hand.

He looked up at the sky, at the Heavenly Dao that had already fallen into deep sleep, and murmured, "You should at least tell me your name..."

The last syllable turned into a sigh.

Su Ci looked up at the brilliant starry sky above his head. His weak soul no longer faded, but turned into a ball of golden light and flew into the depths of the universe.

This freedom was indeed what he longed for.

There is a world beyond heaven, he wants to go and take a look!

With the departure of the Earth Spirit, the planet fell into complete silence.

As time passed and the stars moved, traces of life gradually appeared on the earth. At the same time, the resentment sealed in the land also gave birth to intelligence with the passage of time.

The resentful spirits attacked the seal day and night, and finally one day, the seal loosened and a large number of resentful spirits escaped from the land.

They roamed the earth, and the resentment they created once again swept across the entire planet.

This was also the day when the humans at the Prison Star Base discovered that the red fog was descending.

If the red fog is allowed to develop, all thirty-six bases on the Prison Star will be destroyed in the red fog, and the terrible resentment will spread into the universe, devouring more lives.

Fortunately, the Spirit of Rules reappeared on the earth at this critical moment.

Unfortunately, his strength hadn't recovered much, and in the end, he could only confine the red fog to the planet, establish new rules, and erect a protective barrier for the human base. He himself also hid in the human base...

Until today, the rules were broken and the spirit of resentment discovered and captured here.

In the sealed space, Su Ci gently took off the mask.

As the memories mentioned in the mask returned, he remembered everything that had happened since he left the planet.

He wandered in the universe for countless years, constantly absorbing energy from the universe to restore his weak spirit. After an unknown amount of time, he finally got tired of this wandering life.

The more magnificent and beautiful the universe is, the more deeply he feels lonely.

Su Ci considered self-destruction again, but whenever he thought of the Heavenly Dao who had sacrificed all his strength for him, he gave up the idea.

Finally, drawn by a familiar aura, he came to a planet and settled down, and transformed into a real human being - he locked all his memories deep in his soul.

It was not until he returned to this planet that his old memories were reawakened. However, the memory flow was too huge and directly destroyed the personality he formed when he was a human being. Therefore, when he woke up on the spaceship, he had forgotten everything.

Of course, the knowledge learned will not be forgotten, so common sense will emerge in his mind.

Su Ci looked at Zhou Yan, and his expression inevitably became complicated.
