Chapter 323 Battle between Pink and Black, Life and Death, Two...
Pink and black, life and death, two intertwined and colliding streaks of light tore open a brief vacuum under the gray-yellow sky.
Each impact brought a deafening explosion to the space, causing the desert below to churn like a giant wave.
Countless grains of sand disappeared into this space under the collision of the two forces, silently taking away the last remaining memories of this world. Under the surge of divine power, the rustling sound of the sand rubbing together seemed to be the last lament of this world.
The attack was far more ferocious and ruthless than imagined, showing no sign of her claim that it was "just a test," but rather that she genuinely wanted to devour Sang Zhitao.
Sang Zhitao gradually sensed the increasing offensive from her, and her expression became more and more serious. She never imagined that her opponent's strength had increased to such an extent.
"Bang!" The black octopus was flung heavily into the distance, stirring up a huge sand wave.
Sang Zhitao looked into the other person's eyes, which burned with resentment and madness.
"You can't beat me," Sang Zhitao said calmly.
The black octopus was covered in large patches of pink, while her pink octopus had only a few scattered black spots.
Shin raised a tentacle and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Yes..."
She withdrew the divine power that had overflowed from her body due to her injury, and barely managed to prop herself up to look at Sang Zhitao: "But... I'm not convinced!"
Before she finished speaking, she leaped up again!
Tentacles representing death kept lashing out at Sang Zhitao, solely to erode or assimilate her.
The gravel on the ground disappeared at an accelerating rate, and the last remaining power in this world was truly devoured.
Even so, her attacks seemed so pale in comparison to Sang Zhitao.
Sang Zhitao's blocking and counterattacks became more and more composed over time, stemming from her confidence in her own strength.
“I told you you can’t beat me.” Sang Zhitao once again sent her flying a thousand meters away.
Seeing that a third of Shin's body was already covered in pink, Sang Zhitao's expression became even more indifferent: "Shin, give up."
"Shut up!"
Zhen kept flying up to attack, only to be knocked away by Sang Zhitao.
After visiting her more than ten times, she wore more and more pink.
Amidst the relentless attacks, Sang Zhitao sensed a barely perceptible hint of urgency and weakness hidden beneath the surface...
She immediately realized that this dead world, apart from the remaining sand, could no longer provide any replenishment for the other party.
"Give up." Sang Zhitao deftly dodged the real attack in mid-air.
Now her movements were not only composed, but also had a teasing quality, making Zhen feel her emotions rising and her wanting to tear the pink in front of her to shreds immediately.
"I! Said! Shut! Up!" Zhen let out a sharp shriek, and black divine power burst out from her body, causing her already enormous size to expand tenfold.
The pink octopus, which was originally the same size as her, now looked much smaller, like a baby.
"It's pointless to get bigger." Sang Zhitao said with a faint smile in her eyes.
As she spoke, Sang Zhitao raised a tentacle, and countless grains of sand rose from the ground, forming a huge cage made of sand around Zhen Shi.
The cage tightly confined the black octopus.
She struggled for a long time, and the sand and gravel she stirred up created a fog wall several meters high.
After a long time, the sand slowly fell to the ground, the fog wall disappeared, and Zhen collapsed in the cage, giving up struggling.
“I already told you.” Sang Zhitao transformed into human form and stood outside the cage.
She reached out and placed her hand on the cage.
The flowing sand slipped through her fingers, bringing a slight itch.
Sang Zhitao paid no attention to these things; her divine power continuously flowed through her palms to the cage.
The enormous cage made of sand kept shrinking under her divine power.
Looking at Sang Zhitao, Zhen stopped resisting and relaxed his body, shrinking himself as Sang Zhitao's divine power continued to shrink him.
When she was about the same size as Sang Zhitao in human form, she also reverted to human form.
At this moment, Sang Zhitao had golden-green hair that reached her ankles, and the clothes she wore from the divine realm had been changed into pink and white robes from the cultivation world.
"What an awful color." I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
Sang Zhitao glanced at the other person's black clothes and raised an eyebrow: "It's okay, the color will change after we merge."
“Yes, the peach pink has turned into a light pink,” Zhen scoffed.
Sang Zhitao pouted: "I would like to choose green, but you disagreed when I was reincarnated."
"I'm already tired of gold-green," Zhen said with a disdainful glance at her hair.
Sang Zhitao shrugged: "Well, there's nothing I can do. You don't agree with gold or green, you think white is too bland, you think red looks like blood, you think purple is ugly, and you don't like any of the yellow, orange, or blue ones either. I can only choose pink."
"Can't you choose a nice-looking pink?!" Zhen opened her mouth, speechless.
Sang Zhitao transformed one of her hands into a peach-pink tentacle: "Isn't it pretty?"
"..." He was speechless for a long time before he couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Your taste is really bad."
"You can't just separate from me because of our colors, can you?" Sang Zhitao looked at the other person suspiciously.
She paused for a moment, then chuckled and shook her head: "I want to too..."
“We are one origin. I am you, and you are me. I am your dark side, and you are my light side.”
As she spoke, she looked into the distance.
The gray-yellow sky there had lost some of its gray-blue hue, leaving only a deep yellow that was blocking out the last remaining light source.
“But I’m jealous of you. We’re all the same, but because the creatures love you, you’re the one who comes out to receive their offerings most of the time.”
"So I stripped you of your name and stole your world, but I never expected..."
“I never imagined that I would not only rebuild the Earth, but also change the timeline and be reincarnated as a human, completely shattering all your schemes.” Sang Zhitao sighed and sat down on the newly erected sand throne.
"In your plan, a world that has lost its world consciousness will either find a world in the void that has not yet developed its own world consciousness and merge into it, or it will die..."
"But you didn't expect..."
"I never expected you would rebuild the Earth." Zhen looked at Sang Zhitao, raised his hand to summon the throne, but then realized that he had lost most of his power and could not condense a complete throne at all.
Looking down at my trembling hands, I couldn't help but sigh.
“It would be good if I died in the void, but for you, losing half of the power I took away would take you a long time to recover, which is not worth it. So you would prefer me to merge into other small worlds so that you can devour me.” Sang Zhitao sighed as she thought about her experiences.
"But I rebuilt the Earth and became the world consciousness of the new Earth, and the consciousnesses of other worlds instinctively sought me out, recognized me, and followed me because of my abilities."
"And you also used this opportunity to project your own image onto the timeline of every world, not only resolving the crisis I created." Zhen gave a self-deprecating smile, "In the end, you were one step behind."
Sang Zhitao shook her head: "I didn't intend to scheme against you at first."
"But I still schemed against it." He waved his hand dismissively. "Whatever."
Sang Zhitao looked around at the dead planet: "Actually, if you hadn't revealed your existence earlier, I don't think I would have been able to find you, since I wouldn't have come to this dead world."
Zhen pointed to the sky: "Perhaps there is an even more powerful being above God. He arranged everything, making you choose a world I thought you wouldn't choose, and allowing you to encounter me while I was asleep."
Sang Zhitao didn't reply. Looking at the surrounding desert and then at the increasingly dark sky, she said after a long while, "This must be the world we used to live in."
He looked at her and nodded silently.
“I want to protect her, just like you, but…” Zhen looked at her hands, and the emotions from back then kept surging into her heart.
After severing half of her body, the other party instinctively fled into the void, while she happily sat on the throne, taking the place of the offerings of the living beings.
Thus, she took the name "Zhen" and adopted it as her own.
However, in the following thousand years, this planet seemed to have lost its protection, and various disasters occurred one after another.
Wars, natural disasters, and all sorts of things that harm living beings occurred one after another. Humans initially used grains, then raw food, and later human flesh.
The ever-increasing offerings could not summon even a trace of divine protection.
So humanity began to question the gods, rebel against the gods, and overthrow the gods...
The true primal power is destruction and darkness.
She draws strength from the negative emotions of living beings, but cannot give them life.
So the creatures here abandoned the gods and embarked on another path.
It was because of this that she discovered her ability to corrupt, and she constantly used her power to stir up the world that had finally calmed down, causing war and bloodshed to once again take over the world.
Finally, on a seemingly ordinary day, a war powerful enough to destroy the world broke out.
It was then that she realized she was about to destroy the world, and she tried again to save it.
"Are you a god? Then why can't you save people?"
"You are not a god, you are a demon! Mom says you will bring disaster!"
When she descended to Earth again, she encountered a child, a very innocent and naive child, who immediately expressed doubt upon seeing her.
It's not Sang Zhitao at all; she can't pity or forgive humans. Her instinct is to devour and destroy.
So, on the eve of this war, after being subjected to numerous accusations, she instinctively began to devour the world.
Words, matter, laws, the world...
Everything disappeared as she devoured it, while her power continued to increase.
When she woke up, the world was empty, leaving only countless grains of sand that represented the place where this world had once been.
"So you went to another world?" Sang Zhitao listened patiently to her story, even sharing half of the snacks she had left.
She stared blankly at the snacks for a long time before finally taking one and taking a bite: "Mmm."
"That was the first time I realized how amazing I was. I was so excited that I ate a few more. When I was so full, I decided to find a place to rest. I never expected to meet you."
"How much have you eaten so far?" Sang Zhitao paused, her brows furrowed as she asked.
Zhen shrugged: "I don't remember."
"Ten, twenty, or a hundred again?"
Sang Zhitao looked at her for a long time before sighing helplessly: "With your power, I'm afraid you could destroy hundreds or thousands of worlds."
Zhen lowered her eyes slightly: "So what?"
She looked at Sang Zhitao calmly, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
Sang Zhitao stared at her intently for a long time before saying, "I was thinking that things could be the same as before."
Zhen was stunned and suddenly looked up at Sang Zhitao. She understood what the other person meant, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. For a moment, she didn't know whether to regret that she shouldn't have crossed the other person's bottom line to destroy the world, or to mock Sang Zhitao's kindness.
