Chapter 167 The only thing he could obey was her wish
The twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.
It's snowing heavily outside the window.
Helan Wei hasn't come back yet——
He left quietly that morning. Later, Xie Chengjin told her he had urgent matters to attend to, leaving before she woke up without saying goodbye. Perhaps because the matter he needed to handle was so difficult, he left all the seals of the Helan family head with her, telling her to keep them for safekeeping. During this time, she would enjoy all the rights of the Helan family head and could do whatever she wanted.
Xie Yanyu didn't know what he had to deal with, even the huge Helan family was handed over to her.
She accepted the seal, intending to keep it and give it to him when he returned.
But he never came back.
So when will he come back?
Helan Wei did not leave any words about his return date.
On the contrary, Li Xun, while shoveling snow, whispered in her ear:
"Hiss—tell me, is it possible that he became a mortal, then fell under some curse, and began to age at an accelerated rate? Ten days for others equals ten for him, and he ages a year every day, so his lifespan is calculated in months and days. He left you before the day of old age and fading beauty arrived, and even after leaving, he continued to age and die at an accelerated rate...
“And then died somewhere unknown.
"I won't be coming back."
It's quite detailed,
Xie Yanyu turned around and met his half-smile.
This person is very careless with his words. When he speaks like this, he is mostly joking.
He had said so much nonsense like this that she didn't take it seriously. However, he talked too much. If she didn't shut up now, he would continue to talk in her ears for several hours.
So she shut him up.
At noon, she placed Helan Wei's seal on the table in the room. If he came back today, even if she was not there, he would be able to see the seal at a glance and would not need to spend time looking for it.
Then she went out.
She didn't let Li Xun and the others follow her. She planned to go to the hub alone today.
It's already the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and waiting until tomorrow might be too late. The snow is falling harder and harder, forming a thick layer on the ground. It sinks down to just above your ankles, and every few steps outside will soak your shoes and socks.
The snow in the demon world was about the same as the day she died in her previous life—
However, the demon world is close to Tiandu and is located in the north. Heavy snow falls every winter, so it is quite normal to have heavy snow there.
Peidu is located in the south and it seldom snows. When you stay here for the winter, you can clearly feel that this place is none other than Peidu.
It’s snowing so heavily now.
Traveling is inconvenient. There are no cars or pedestrians on the road. There is only a vast expanse of white.
This made her somewhat unable to tell where she was, and she suddenly had the illusion that this moment was overlapping with her previous life.
It's not a pleasant feeling to have wet shoes and socks.
Seeing that there was no one in the city, she flew directly on her sword and headed south.
Soon they arrived at the southernmost part of the continent, the forest.
The last time I was here was four years ago.
Four years later,
Nothing much seems to have changed here.
She stepped in.
At this moment, the wind started to blow around.
At the end of the forest,
In a dark and lightless barrier,
The pretty figure seemed to sense something and opened his eyes.
*
Has it been four years?
There is no day or night here, the sun and the moon are invisible, and all things used to measure time do not exist here, so Shen Lang does not know how long he has been here.
Time doesn't seem to exist here at all.
There's not even any sound here.
At first, there was a system talking to him, but later, Shen Lang swallowed up the system system——
In the system's words, he and the system are both data.
Because he is the male protagonist, he is a more complex string of data, so he is not much different from the system.
The place where he is now is the hub between the world in the book and the main god. It is separated from the rules of the world in the book, but still in this world. Therefore, he can still retain his consciousness, soul and cultivation, instead of completely turning into a string of nothingness data.
Therefore, it is not impossible for him to devour the system.
Before devouring the system, he spent quite a while figuring out what kind of world this was.
Then he read the so-called script from the beginning,
He even looked at all the memories of the system, and thus knew everything about Xie Yanyu.
In her previous life, she had never loved him, and in this life she proposed to marry him just to follow the plot.
Because she didn't want to be controlled by the plot anymore, she finally decided to destroy the hub, letting this world escape control and become a real, independent world.
Four years ago,
When she left, the system told her that if she wanted to destroy this place, her cultivation level would have to be at least at the Divine Transformation level.
What about now?
Has she reached the stage of spiritual transformation?
Chen Lang was in endless darkness and had to use a lot of energy to barely see a little bit of the outside world.
It's not clear to see.
It turned out that it was already winter, and there was heavy snow outside. Looking over, all I could see was the snow fog and the outlines of some dead branches.
He sensed her breath.
But it seemed that she had not yet come near.
He was eager to see her appearance. Had she changed, or was she the same as before?
Shen Lang thought about this.
He lowered his head again with some disappointment, and glanced at his translucent hands——
His appearance has changed.
It’s not quite right to say that he changed, but rather that his body disappeared.
Before devouring the system, the system used its energy to torture him for days, and just as it had said, in the end, his physical body disappeared. Even after he devoured the system, his physical body did not return.
At first, he became like a gust of wind, or a ball of invisible energy, wandering here.
But later, he absorbed all the energy in this hub,
Then the body became translucent, like the state of a soul.
The system and Xie Yanyu had previously told that if one wanted to destroy this place, one would need at least the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
The reason for this is that there is a lot of chaotic energy going on here.
These energies come from the main god. If ordinary people want to stay here for a while, they will be harmed by these energies. Only when they reach the stage of transformation into a god can they resist these energies or even absorb them.
But how to destroy this place?
The system didn't tell her.
She had to absorb this energy, transform herself into a carrier of it, into the Hub itself, and then kill herself. Once she died, the Hub would disappear. So if she wanted to destroy this place, she herself wouldn't survive.
At the time, the system was pleased with this.
It wanted to see her expression when she knew the truth.
It wanted her to regret, to let her know that everything she had done was in vain, and if she didn't listen to it and follow the plot, she would die no matter how hard she struggled.
But Shen Lang devoured the system.
Then he knew how to help her.
He had never obeyed her wishes before, but now he absorbed all the energy here, and when she came, he would dedicate his life to her.
This was the only wish he could obey, her wish.
*
It’s actually quite far from the edge of the forest to the end.
The last time she came here, she only took a few steps at the edge of the forest, and in the blink of an eye, she was pulled into the hub by the system. But this time, she walked much deeper than last time, but she was not pulled into the hub yet.
Because there is an inseparable connection between the system and her.
It only needed to think to pull her in.
But the connection between Chen Lang and her was not as inseparable as the connection between the system and her. He could not pull her in and could only wait for her to find this place by herself.
The further you go into the forest, the more complex the spiritual energy around you becomes.
She might encounter some ferocious beasts or poisonous miasma.
The closer she got to the hub, the more dangerous the surroundings became, just like every time she went to the secret realm before, the Lord God's energy sensed her and wanted to wipe her out; the same would happen when she wanted to enter the hub, the Lord God didn't want anyone to get close to this place, so he would try to wipe her out.
Chen Lang cannot do without the hub.
He couldn't help her with this matter and could only sense her breath.
He felt her approaching.
But it seemed that she encountered a very strong beast, probably a beast in the late stage of transformation, so she fought with the beast.
Chen Lang's heart was in his throat. He could even vaguely sense that she was injured. It seemed that there were many bloody wounds on her body that were visible to the bone, and then she was pressed to the ground by a ferocious beast, about to be devoured.
But at the critical moment,
She suddenly jumped up and stabbed the beast's dantian with a sword.
Then she took out its inner elixir, healed her wounds and rested on the spot, absorbed the spiritual power in the inner elixir, and continued forward -
She has reached the stage of spiritual transformation.
Shen Lang sensed that it was probably the second or third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
He wanted to know how she had practiced over the years, whether she was very hardworking, or whether she had suffered a lot.
It took her four years to go from the Golden Core stage to the Spiritual Transformation stage. Not to mention her physique, even a genius with excellent physique would find it difficult to do so.
When Xie Yanyu reached the middle of the forest, it was already late at night.
The sky in the forest was dark, and the ground began to tremble again. Cracks appeared under her feet, and the snow on the nearby mountains began to collapse, making it impossible for her to control her sword.
Everything was pushing her to death, so she used magic and ran. The wounds on her body that had not healed opened again, and blood dripped down, attracting more ferocious beasts.
Fortunately, she has reached the stage of transformation of spirit.
If she didn't have it, she would have died here by now, but she had it, so she still survived.
Suffering a lot of injuries, Shen Lang sensed that she fell to the ground and was almost swallowed by the crack in the ground, but she used some spells and finally the ground stopped cracking. She struggled to climb up, sealed several large acupuncture points to stop the bleeding from the wounds, hid her breath, and continued to move forward.
When we reached the end of the forest, it was already the morning of the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The sky turned from dark to light again.
In her previous life, she died at the end of the Chen hour on this day, shortly after dawn.
It is already bright outside, it should be around noon, less than an hour left.
If the hub is not destroyed within an hour and the world line collapses, she doesn't know what will happen to others, but she will die.
Xie Yanyu was a little anxious.
She sensed the presence of a barrier around her, so she walked in that direction.
At first, she circled around it, knowing its approximate location but not how to get in. There were signs of earthquakes around her, and she saw a crack quietly opening in the ground. If she didn't enter the hub, she might face some strange, potentially fatal disaster.
There was less than an hour left, and if another disaster like this happened, she would not have enough time to deal with it.
So she simply made up her mind and forced her way into the barrier.
Next second.
The surrounding scenery disappeared and turned into a void of darkness.
