Against the Gods Chapter 2047: Beautiful Dream



Yun Che looked at Hua Caili’s obviously abnormal reaction in a sidelong manner and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with this name…?”

"No...nothing." Hua Caili shook her head hesitantly, "It's just that I suddenly felt that this sword was so heavy, but the name was...so strange."

“It’s not that strange.” Yun Che didn’t seem to notice anything unusual. He stroked the sword with his hand, his eyes gradually becoming distant, as if he was lost in nostalgia: “My master never told me the original name of this sword. He named me Yun Che, so I named this sword that has been with me all my life ‘Yun’ as my surname.”

The sword exuded a faint scarlet light, like some kind of scarlet colored glass containing endless mysteries. The four words "Jie Tian" and "Zhu Mo" that were originally printed on it had been hidden by him since he entered the abyss world.

"Its sword light is strange, just like colored glass, so Master took the word 'glass' and renamed it Yunli Sword. At the same time, the word 'cloud glass' also represents Master's hope that I will have 'ambitions as far-reaching as clouds and a heart as clear as colored glass'."

“…” Li Suo was stunned for a long time in the depths of Yun Che’s soul sea.

If she hadn’t known that it was the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword in Hong’er’s form and the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor Sword in You’er’s form, even she would have believed it.

"...I see." Hua Caili smiled somewhat confusedly: "After hearing what Master Yun said, I feel that this name is very suitable for it."

Yun Che raised his eyes and asked naturally, “Sister Qu’s sword is made entirely of white jade. The divine jade from heaven is no more than this. The sword’s aura is as gentle as water, but its might chills the soul. I believe its name must be known throughout the world.”

"I... won't tell you yet."

Hua Caili turned around and fled deeper into the sea of fog in front of her.

His sword is called Yunli Sword...

My sword is called Liyun Sword...

Yun Che...

Colored glass...

It was as if millions of young deer were colliding in her mind, and even her steps were out of control and disorderly.

"What do you mean by this?" Li Suo couldn't help but asked.

“Hint.” Yun Che replied briefly with two words.

"Hint?" Li Suo was puzzled.

“Well, it’s very useful for young boys and girls who are new to the world.” Yun Che only explained this: “But it’s definitely useless to you. No matter how detailed I explain it, you probably won’t be able to truly understand it.”

"..." Li Suo did not ask any more questions, but said: "Aren't you afraid that Hong'er and You'er will be angry with you if you do this?"

“Don’t worry.” Yun Che said leisurely, “As long as Hong’er is full, you can ask her to do anything. You’er is the most obedient. She doesn’t even know how to be angry with me.”

Li Suo exhaled softly and sighed: "Your methods are really endless. Aren't you afraid of going too far? After all, once one flaw is exposed, all are flaws."

“…” Yun Che paused for a moment and said, “You’re not completely wrong.”

"I really racked my brains, intensively using all the means I could think of... There was nothing I could do. The time left for me was too short."

“But don’t worry.” After a deep sigh, Yun Che’s expression regained its composure: “If you think about everything between her and me, it was actually her ‘initiative’. So if there is any flaw exposed, she is the one who is more worried. Moreover, these days, not only has she not had any doubts about me, but she has been piling up guilt for ‘hiding all kinds of things’ and ‘deliberately getting close’ to me.”

Li Suo: “…”

Looking at Hua Caili's back, he said softly: "The little trick is almost enough. Next, it is the two most important steps."

"...I look forward to your success." That's all Li Su could say.

Yun Che closed his eyes slightly: "You won't expect it."

Li Suo: “???”

"Mr. Yun, do you know the 'Eternal Pure Land'?"

"Yes, of course I have heard of it."

"I heard that it is a world without Yuanchen. I heard that our ancestor and Lord Yuanhuang both came from that world."

"I heard that... the most ordinary corner of that world is as pure as the Pure Land; the sky there is not gray, but pure light blue, and there are white clouds without any flaws; there are waters that stretch for thousands of miles, there are countless races, and there are exotic plants and flowers with shapes and colors that are unimaginable..."

Every abyss mystic has an endless yearning for the legendary "Eternal Pure Land", and the same is true for Hua Caili.

It's just that for ordinary mystics, the "Eternal Pure Land" is more like a legend. But for the people of the Kingdom of God, they know that it is a real world.

“These are not legends.” Yun Che said calmly: “That world is indeed like this.”

"Ah?" The girl glanced sideways and asked in a playful voice, "Could it be that Master Yun has been to the Eternal Pure Land?"

“Of course it’s impossible.” Yun Che laughed and said, “But, my master is very likely from there.”

"!!" Hua Qingying's gaze instantly focused.

Hua Caili turned her waist suddenly, and her surprise was so strong that it almost overflowed from her beautiful eyes.

Yun Che continued, “My master often told me about that world. At first, I was confused and didn’t care or believe it that much. Later, he began to transmit many images into my soul sea, and then I knew that there really was such a world.”

"Ah..." Hua Caili let out a startled groan from her lips, and then she said excitedly, "Is it really... the scene of the 'Eternal Pure Land'? Then you... have you seen the heaven and earth, the scenery, the white clouds, the pure snow, and the various flowers and plants, and the spiritual beasts there..."

“Hahaha.” Yun Che laughed. “At that time, I was just like you, constantly begging Master to show me all the things I wanted to see, and Master would always satisfy me. It was not until Master passed away and I entered the world that I gradually understood how astonishing the scenes that Master left for me were.”

As he spoke, he swung his hand and swept through the air.

The icy light flickered, and snow suddenly fell all over the sky.

There is no snow in the abyss. Even those who cultivate water-based profound power are only good at spreading water to condense ice, because they cannot imagine the form of snow. Even if they try to simulate it according to the records, they can only scatter a piece of fine ice.

Therefore, this scene, which was very common in Yun Che's world, was a magnificent sight that most creatures in the abyss would never be able to experience in their lifetime.

"Wow~~"

The girl exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with stars. She raised her hands to the air, watching the snowflakes dancing on her fingertips and then turning into a chill that penetrated her soul in her palms.

It's not like she had never seen snow before. The immortal priest who was best at elemental power had made snow fall before her eyes more than once. Every time she would shout with excitement.

But this time, the flying snow seemed to enter my heart with joy from my eyes, even better than the surprise I felt when I first saw it that year.

Same flying snow, different people.

Yun Che smiled, then gently placed his palm downwards.

A streak of white appeared under the feet, then quickly spread out, covering the gray-black earth, submerging the strange rocks and black trees, to the end of the sight, to the sea of fog that was unknown how deep it was.

In front of Hua Caili's eyes, in her entire world, a pure white snow field that belonged to her alone spread out.

The cry stopped and the girl stood there blankly, as if she couldn't believe her eyes, couldn't believe in such a world.

“These are the snow regions that exist in many places in that world.” Yun Che said softly, “They can be thousands of miles long, or even tens of millions of miles long. Some places are covered in snow for eternity, and it never melts. Under the snow there is still snow, becoming a color that never fades in a world.”

His vision became a little hazy, and then suddenly became clear.

He missed the Snow Song Realm and Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.

But as long as you are still in the abyss, missing someone is a luxury and a sin that should not be touched.

"Like a dream..." She whispered, her beautiful eyes reflecting the snow. Although it was such a single color, it inexplicably made her eyes misty.

She likes pure white things, and everyone in the entire Zhetian Divine Kingdom knows it.

Her outer garment, her favorite colorful cloud branch, her favorite glass cloud sword...

Yun Che stood beside her and pointed his finger at her palm, which was even more smooth than white snow. Snow immediately condensed and a small snow ferret was carved into her palm.

“This is a snow ferret, which always blends in with the ice and snow.” Yun Che introduced it with a smile: “Master said that although it is a powerless mortal beast, because of its appearance, even the most evil people often don’t have the heart to hunt it.”

"So cute!" Hua Caili held it carefully, and it seemed as if stars were melting in her beautiful eyes: "Is this a real beast..."

She touched it gently, but was reluctant to do so: "Such a cute little spirit beast, no one would be willing to hurt it, even if it is a vicious beast."

Yun Che pointed his finger, a flame flickered, and a flaming butterfly appeared in his palm, then flew onto Hua Caili's fingertips.

"This is a butterfly. Master said that in that world, there are hundreds of thousands of species of butterflies. From many kinds of ordinary butterflies that are only the size of a finger to many kinds of demon butterflies that can transform into human form."

"This is the Ice Feather Spirit Flower. It grows in extremely cold places, but it releases spiritual energy that can warm the soul."

It is also the flower of love between him and Mu Xuanyin.

"This is the Netherworld Udumbara Flower. I can only barely imitate its shape, but cannot fully show its true appearance. Master said that it is the most bizarre flower in that world. It can make people fall into a dream forever... but it can also create the most amazing miracles."

"It's called the Angry Sea Shark. Even though it looks small in my palm, it's actually a giant sea beast from that world, a thousand miles long..."

"This is a sacred flower that can only grow when bathed in the mystical power of light..."

"This is the Phoenix and the Ice Phoenix..."

Yun Che generously showed Hua Caili the wonders of the other world that he had obtained from his master. Every time, every kind of wonder would cause the starlight in the girl's eyes to tremble differently.

Even Hua Qingying was in constant amazement.

"Sister Qu, is there anything else you particularly want to see?" His eyes were as gentle as warm wind, as if telling the girl that as long as she opened her mouth, he would satisfy her no matter what it was.

"A lot, a lot." She answered happily, but because there were so many, she didn't know how to choose.

At this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Mr. Yun, do you know about meteor showers?"

“Meteor shower?” This answer surprised Yun Che.

The girl looked up at the sky reflected by the snow and said, "I once asked a...very powerful uncle, what is the most beautiful sight in the world?"

"My uncle thought about it for a long time, and he told me that the world called Eternal Pure Land is not a gray and desolate land like the Abyss, but has countless planets and star realms."

"As time goes by, due to the collapse of the laws of space, collisions, or natural or man-made disasters, one or more planets will fall and collapse from time to time, forming a phenomenon called a meteor shower."

"My uncle said that it was the most beautiful disaster in the world. Anyone who saw it would remember it for the rest of their lives."

“…” Yun Che’s breathing paused for a very short time.

He knew better than anyone the splendor of planetary annihilation, and also knew better than anyone its cruelty.

Yun Che thought for a moment, then pulled the girl’s wrist and said, “Sit down.”

The girl was surprised, then sat down obediently as she was told.

At this moment, the gray sky suddenly brightened.

It was a distant star, emitting endless bright light, which actually tore through the gloom of the sea of fog and covered the dazzling starlight that should not belong to this world.

It was not difficult for Yun Che to simulate this “shooting star”. It was in the shape of an icy star, and it was filled with a sacred light that contained the profound power of light.

The stars fell, leaving long trails of light, as if breaking the entire sky of the sea of fog.

Light streaks passed through the girl's pupils and soul. Before she could let out a scream of surprise, the stars in the distant sky suddenly exploded... spreading out countless scattered stars of light and weaving countless intertwined light streaks.

Abyssal beasts were roaring everywhere, and countless mysterious practitioners stopped and looked up, staring blankly at the destructive starlight in the distance that was more illusory than a dream.

Hua Caili tilted her head up and stared blankly, every trace of the stars reflected in her eyes.

The dangerous sea of fog and the constant howling of abyssal beasts... all became insignificant. Because what filled her world at this moment was such warmth and beauty, something she had never experienced before and had never imagined.

Is it because of this annihilating meteor...

No matter how gorgeous it is, it is just scenery after all.

As if she was involuntarily following the guidance of her heart, she turned her gaze away from the luxurious beauty of annihilation and looked at Yun Che beside her, looking at his face reflected in the starlight.

She suddenly became stupid.

At this moment, she, who was so ignorant about everything, understood it very clearly...

Not because of the scenery, but because of the people.

Noticing her gaze, Yun Che lowered his eyes and met hers: “Why are you suddenly looking at me like this?”

Without moving her eyes away, she continued to stare at his face, murmuring like a dream: "Sir, you should only see the painting, I alone understand the essence of this."

“Huh?” Yun Che was stunned for a moment.

The girl's lips curved up charmingly, she lowered her eyes and said softly: "This is what my master who taught me to read once taught me. I finally understood today that the 'Young Master' in it is Young Master Yun."

“…” Yun Che opened his mouth but said nothing.

At this moment, he vaguely realized that beneath the girl's tender and gentle appearance... her heart might be far more passionate than he imagined.

The man's breath beside her was particularly warm, with a strange attraction. She did not resist this attraction, slowly approached, and before she knew it, her head touched the warm shoulder...

She closed her eyes, and the whole world seemed to become warm and quiet, making her want to indulge herself so strongly for the first time in her life.

It turns out that this is the most beautiful way of the world.

No need to think about anything, no need to do anything, just have him by my side.

Time seemed to stand still, and only the stars in the sky were gradually dimming.

Hua Qingying's brows were tightly knitted, and she had wanted to send a message to Hua Caili several times... Just as the last star mark disappeared, she hesitated again, but saw Yun Che raise his hand and gently but firmly push the girl who was leaning on his shoulder away.

Hua Caili was awakened from her indulgence. She raised her eyes and looked at Yun Che... His action of pushing her away and his eyes at that moment made her heart suddenly stagnate. She was stunned and speechless.

His eyes were as clear as before, yet as rational as at the beginning...rational to the point of indifference.

"Sister Qu," he said, still smiling, "We have been together for more than a month, and your injury has healed. So, it is time for us to part ways."

It was like a beautiful dream suddenly broken by the icy rain. The girl's eyes flickered and she blurted out, "Why... why..."

Yun Che looked at her and spoke in a calm and slow voice: "Actually, your last name is not Qu. Qu Yixin is not your name either, right?"
