The sky shattered, and the cycle of reincarnation was disrupted.
A crack tore through the sky, passing through the eyeball. Countless flames spread across the eyeball, burning and scorching it. Then the flames gradually turned into ice crystal snow lotuses, shattering into millions of ice shards that fell into the world below.
A sinister crimson aura enveloped Su Luo, transforming her clothes into a red dress. She glanced back at the world behind her before finally landing in a corner below, no longer clearly visible. After a long while, she turned around and stepped into the void.
The aura of the [Time] realm?!
As soon as he left that strange place of time loop, Su Luo sensed the aura of the [Time] domain, and with a wave of his hand, he absorbed it into his body.
As time reversed, strands of black hair turned silver, and the once jet-black and beautiful long hair instantly became as white as snow, hanging down to the waist.
The white mist... slowly dissipated, and from afar, a graceful figure with silver hair, dressed in a red silk dress, carrying an oil-paper umbrella adorned with the sun, moon, and stars, walked slowly into the depths of the forbidden area.
As the white mist dissipated, a stone pillar-like object vaguely appeared before Su Luo's eyes. Before Su Luo could see it clearly, a huge, incredibly alluring fragrance wafted out, attracting Su Luo's attention.
It smells so good.
It smells so good.
It tastes better than anything I've ever seen or eaten before!
Unable to resist, he walked toward the source of the fragrance. A colossal beast, as large as a mountain, appeared before Su Luo. It was crouching on its arms, with fleshy wings spread wide behind it, like a quilt covering its body, as if it were fast asleep.
'Gurgle'.
Su Luo looked at the somewhat familiar giant beast in front of him and couldn't help but swallow hard. His bloodshot eyes took on a hint of madness as he stared intently at the... mountain monster.
He stroked the wings with both hands. The dense, cancer-like tumors, though disgusting in appearance, emitted a fragrant aroma, enticing Su Luo to come and enjoy them.
'Awoo.'
Su Luo took a bite of the wing, closed her eyes contentedly, and then, feeling a bit unsatisfied, started tearing it apart with her hands like she was eating a hand-shredded duck.
It was unclear whether the mountain monster was sleeping too soundly or too deeply, because no matter how much Su Luo gnawed at it, it didn't react at all. In the end, Su Luo even used [Ice and Fire Love Song] to roast the meat, constantly changing the flavor and the way he ate it, until he had eaten the entire mountain monster down to just a complete skeleton.
Looking at the skeleton that looked like it had been split apart and dried, Su Luo touched his mouth with satisfaction, then stood up, held up an oil-paper umbrella, and slowly and politely bowed to the skeleton, saying reverently.
"Thank you for your hospitality."
I don't know if it's because of eating that mountain monster, but my hair, which had turned white, gradually turned a little black again, as if I had deliberately gone to the hair salon to get silver highlights. The black and white hair was mixed, which was fashionable and avant-garde.
"This is……"
An altar?
Looking at the towering stone pillar behind the mountain monster, Su Luo slowly stepped forward. As she approached, the white mist slowly dissipated, revealing a huge object that resembled an altar.
Looking around, five similar stone pillars rose from the ground, scattered around the altar, each engraved with inscriptions. Su Luo circled them, noticing that while the script varied, the meanings were largely the same, and the scripts...
She was no stranger to him.
She saw it many times during that cycle of time.
This is a unique writing system belonging to each realm within the Nine Domains. Only special envoys or high-ranking law enforcement officers of each realm have the opportunity to learn and use it.
This is an altar jointly built by five of the nine domains.
In the center of this altar lay a bloody, still-beating heart.
"You've arrived."
A sigh came, accompanied by a clear, old, and slightly familiar voice. Su Luo slowly raised his head and looked at the stone pillar in front of him.
Mu Yu's writing was enormous, which matched Zhao Jinlai's obese body perfectly.
"Old Zhao."
Su Luo spoke slowly, and the other party pondered for a moment before finally letting out a sigh.
"Long time no see, Lord Su."
Old Zhao, Zhao Jinlai's ancestor, the former special envoy of the Mu Domain, and now the pillar of the altar, gazed at Su Luo, who was somewhat different from his memory, and seemed... at ease.
"My time is also coming to an end."
"Hmm." Su Luo nodded, seemingly calmly.
"The future rests on your shoulders."
"Um."
"My son is doing alright. Although he's gained a little weight, he's healthy and has a good appetite."
"Um."
"I never expected to see you in the end; all four of them lost to me."
"Um."
"Su...Luo, if we fail this time, you should leave."
"..."
"There's no need. You've gone through countless cycles of reincarnation for the sake of this world. You've finally gained your own consciousness; you deserve a life of your own!"
For the last two sentences, Su Luo neither nodded nor answered, but simply stared motionlessly at the stone pillar. After a long while, Envoy Zhao, who had not received a response, sighed softly. The once bright stone pillar began to dim, and finally, it lost its vitality and turned into scrap metal.
Snow began to fall from the sky at some unknown time. The goose-feather-like snowflakes fluttered down and landed on Su Luo's eyelashes, obscuring her vision. Soon, the earth was covered in a white blanket, and all was quiet.
Su Luo crouched down and, at the base of each stone pillar, sculpted a tombstone out of snow, without inscribing a name.
"Thanks!"
Su Luo bowed to the five stone pillars, then entered the altar, went to the beating heart, and reached out to take it down.
Sensing the presence of others, the heart suddenly began to beat rapidly, trying to escape from Su Luo's grasp, but all in vain.
"Click, click, click".
Bit by bit, Su Luo slowly swallowed the heart into his stomach.
This is the heart of the five special envoys who willingly fell into depravity, their hearts corrupted and sealed by the mutated pollution... their own hearts, polluted hearts.
For this reason, they have been trapped here for ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, half a step to the supreme level but unable to leave for their entire lives. It is they who have protected themselves from being corrupted by the strange and losing their minds. Like clearing a dungeon, they are the guardian beasts, waiting for the protagonist to gain enough experience to find their treasure!
And the one who awakened this protagonist was none other than Ye Qinglan.
The moment he completely swallowed the heart, some long-forgotten memories returned to Su Luo's mind.
No wonder she was able to be reborn with her memories intact this time.
The night was clear and calm.
In the cycle of reincarnation, he died countless times in her place. In reality, Ye Qinglan watched Su Luo die before her eyes countless times, unable to help and powerless to do anything about it.
Time and again, it's like a reservoir; when it's full, everything will fall into place, and all will be well.
Everyone is doing their best to save them.
So that she can possess the pinnacle of both humanity and the supernatural!
This approach is nothing but a gamble; no one knows whether it will succeed or how long it will take. It's just a sliver of faith.
Betting on a glimmer of hope, a slim chance of survival!
