Chapter 267

"Is this Earth?"

Su Ci looked at the bustling streets around him. The civilization scenes that had been destroyed for who knows how many thousands of years appeared before his eyes again, making him feel a little confused about his memory.

He was certain that this wasn't an illusion, but was indeed Earth in the real world, but...

"This is the Earth tens of millions of years ago." A Yan nodded.

Su Ci looked at him in confusion. The flow of time was irreversible. He had tried to turn back time, but he couldn't do it at all.

The magical art of bringing dead trees back to life is not a true resurrection, but rather it uses the characteristics of plants to dig out the last bit of vitality still hidden in the dead trees, and injects the life-rich power of the earth into them in a short period of time, so that the dead trees can be revived.

But now, they have returned to Earth tens of millions of years ago.

This was definitely something beyond Su Ci's understanding.

Seeing that Su Ci was also surprised and shocked, A Yan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly. Just as he was about to explain, he noticed the gazes of the passers-by around him.

In fact, in this ancient era when there were so many cultivators, their sudden appearance in the bustling city was not something worthy of attention.

However, their clothing, which came from the interstellar age, seemed somewhat out of place with the ancient people around them.

Faced with everyone's curious gazes, A Yan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Su Ci, and disappeared with him. When they reappeared, they had arrived at an empty room in the inn.

A Yan took out two sets of robes and handed one to Su Ci. "I made this myself. Do you think it fits you?"

It was obvious that he had been planning for this day for a long time and even prepared his clothes.

Su Ci stared at him for a few seconds, and finally took the clothes. After all, there would be plenty of time to listen to his explanation later, so there was no need to rush.

He took the clothes, shook them open gently, and put them on. In the blink of an eye, he was dressed, and the clothes from the interstellar era also fell into his hands.

A Yan, who had been staring at him, felt a little regretful when he saw him use magic. But when he raised his eyes and saw Su Ci who had changed his clothes, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The man in red clothes and black hair just stood there casually, but he had a charm that made people fall in love with him at first sight.

The antique robe looked natural on him, as if he was born to wear it, without the slightest bit of incongruity.

A Yan looked at Su Ci deeply, as if he saw again the figure he had been watching for tens of millions of years.

Obviously, Su Lu was dressed in his past appearance, but... perhaps he was too upright and solemn, which always allowed A Yan to quickly distinguish him from his original self.

A Yan took a deep breath and put on his own clothes casually. Then he walked to Su Ci, straightened his clothes, took out a jade pendant, and put it on his waist with his own hands.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, yet a sticky feeling spread in the air.

Su Ci looked at A Yan who was so close to him.

This was the first time he saw A Yan in ancient costume. He was wearing a moon-white robe, embroidered with golden patterns like his red clothes. He looked handsome, elegant and noble.

"Turn around." Su Ci suddenly said.

A Yan blinked, but turned his back as he was told. Then he felt Su Ci massaging his hair. In an instant, his beautiful platinum-colored hair flowed down to his waist.

Su Ci curled his lips.

She looks better with long hair now.

"Jade hairpin." He stretched out his hand to A Yan.

A Yan paused, silently took out a jade hairpin from the spirit storage bag and placed it in Su Ci's hand, without asking him how he knew he had it.

Anyway, Susu has always been very perceptive.

Su Ci combed his hair from the back, tied it into a simple bun, and then fixed it with a jade hairpin, giving him a half-tied hairstyle.

"Not bad." Su Ci looked at A Yan and couldn't help but praise him.

"What about you?"

Ah Yan looked at Su Ci's loose black hair and was a little tempted to do something, but Su Ci just shook his head and said, "I don't need it."

He has always been casual and feels comfortable with his hair down.

"Okay, now you can tell me what happened?" Su Ci walked to the window and opened the tightly closed window - although the window was cast with a defensive spell to prevent thieves, this did not pose a problem for Su Ci.

He looked at the cultivators outside, trying to judge the era they were in based on their cultivation level and the level of spiritual energy around them.

A Yan walked over to him and watched the bustling and classical street scene outside with him. He said softly, "This is Earth, which is tens of millions of years old, but it doesn't belong to our world."

Su Ci was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at him.

"When I was studying human knowledge on the Star Network, I learned about the concept of parallel time and space," A Yan explained.

Susu once told him that the human race is a very intelligent race. Although they are born weak and have a short lifespan, they must never be underestimated.

I have to say that Susu's judgment was very accurate.

In that Dharma-Ending Age, it is truly remarkable that interstellar humans were able to traverse the universe with their tiny bodies and establish the prosperous and vast interstellar society we have today. There is much to learn from this.

In addition to parallel time and space, there is also the idea of ​​traveling back to the past, but as the spirit of rules, A Yan keenly realized that it would be better for him not to explore in this direction.

If there is a mistake in timing, it may eventually cause the collapse of the entire world, and the consequences may be something he cannot bear.

After all, even the spirit of the earth that has been around for tens of millions of years cannot develop a method to reverse time. He has only been a spirit for more than ten thousand years, so he should still be cautious when facing unknown dangers.

So, after learning about the concept of parallel time and space, A Yan has been studying the laws of time and space, and finally he has some clues.

Later, the ancient door that had become a spirit returned to Earth.

The characteristic of the ancient gate is space. It can send people to different spaces. As long as it has been to a place, there is no problem. It’s just that it is highly random and carries a very large uncertainty.

This is the carrier of the natural laws of space, so A Yan was so surprised when he saw it for the first time.

Later, he spent nearly ten years solving one problem after another, until recently, when he finally incorporated the law of time into Gu Men.

The result surprised him; he had actually created a passage to a parallel universe! This also confirmed the human race's concept of "parallel universe."

"I didn't reverse time, I just came to another world." A Yan explained the concept of parallel time and space to Su Ci, "The time flow in this parallel world is slower, tens of millions of years later than our world."

Finally, he said: "Our actions in this world will not affect our world, nor will they cause any disruption to time."

Su Ci was stunned for a moment and couldn't help looking out the window again.

"So, there's another you in this world, and... me?"

A Yan nodded, anticipation in his eyes.

"At this stage, you must have just become a spirit not long ago, right?" he said, "I really want to meet you."

A Yan's consciousness was born out of Su Ci's sadness. That was the first growth of the spirit of the earth, and his personality changed a little, but what about him before that?

Are they as innocent and cute as the cubs in the nursery?

Su Ci didn't say anything, but just reached out and flicked A Yan's forehead, just like when he was number one.

"Ouch--"

Although this amount of force didn't hurt at all, A Yan still screamed exaggeratedly, reached out to touch his forehead that was hit, and looked at Su Ci pitifully.

It’s a pity that this act of acting cute was useless.

Su Ci crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said loudly: "Don't have those crooked ideas."

"What evil idea?" A Yan pretended to be confused.

Su Ci snorted lightly and said righteously, "Even if our actions here don't affect the other world, we should still be cautious and not change other people's fate at will."

Ah Yan couldn't help but mutter, "I didn't want to change other people's fate, I just wanted to see you..."

"You still say that!"

Su Ci raised his hand again to hit him, but fortunately A Yan had learned his lesson this time and quickly begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I won't go if I don't want to. Don't be angry."

After coaxing it for a long time, it took the furry ears and tail to make the person feel comfortable.

"So, why did you bring me to this world?" Su Ci asked while holding A Yan's fluffy tail and stroking it.

A Yan smiled gently, and a gentle light flashed in his platinum eyes.

He said, "How about holding our wedding here? We can invite all those who are inseparable from you to come and watch the ceremony."

Su Ci was silent.

Ah Yan couldn't help but feel uneasy. He stroked Su Ci's cheek and called him softly, "Su Su?"

"You and I in this world are not the real you and me." Su Ci said soberly.

Naturally, those old friends who have left his world are not included either.

Although the parallel world does exist, for them, it is just a more advanced illusion.

Looking at Su Ci's calm eyes, A Yan also heard what he had not said yet, and felt a little helpless for a moment, "But... I..."

He couldn't find the right words for a moment.

He did all this to make Susu happy, but if she didn't like it, then there would be no point and naturally no reason to persist.

Finally, A Yan lowered his head in frustration, "I'm sorry..."

Not only the tail behind him, but even the furry ears on his head were drooping, making him look like a big dog that had done something wrong. He looked so pitiful that it was impossible to be angry with him.

Su Ci was not angry either.

On the contrary, he was in a good mood.

He reached out and placed his hand on the young man's head, ruffling his hair, then said with a smile, "You didn't do anything wrong, A Yan, thank you."

It was not until that moment that Su Ci realized that he was no longer the person trapped by the past.

He who was addicted to the pain of separation and therefore resisted shackles and refused to be approached by others has unknowingly walked out of it. Now when he thinks of those old friends, there is only nostalgia in his heart, but not much sadness.

All this happened because he had A Yan, and because A Yan brought him to this parallel world.

He felt suddenly enlightened, and finally let go of the sadness that had accumulated in his heart for years.

“I like this gift very much.”

Su Ci cupped A Yan's cheeks and kissed him tenderly on the forehead.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

In addition to old friends, this world also contains many delicious foods that you will never be able to eat again in the future!

Let me think about what to write in the next chapter
