An Qingyu was silent for a moment, "Behind the Gate of Truth, of course, is the 'truth'..."

"What exactly is 'truth'?"

"The essence of the world's operation is 'truth'. From microscopic physics to the operation of celestial bodies, everything is made up of countless superimposed 'truths'." An Qingyu pointed to the nothingness in front of him.

"Why is there wind in the world? Because wind is the manifestation of air flow. So why does air flow? One of the main reasons is that solar radiation shines on the earth's surface, raising the surface temperature. Hot air rises and cold air falls, which forms air flow.

Why do thermals rise? This is because thermals have low density, high energy, and large molecular distances. Why does heat increase molecular distances? This is because…”

“Stop, stop, stop!” Lin Qiye stopped the endless “whys” and spoke thoughtfully, “What you want to say is that the reason why the world works is because of the countless combinations of ‘truths’?”

“Well, humans call the part of the truth they have mastered ‘science’, but this is just a drop in the ocean. The full picture of truth is nearly endless, just like the microscopic world. No matter how you explore, the smaller the matter is.

The truths contained in the causes of wind are almost infinite, so how about the operation of the entire earth? How about the operation of the universe? How does everything work outside this world? "

An Qingyu paused for a moment and continued, "The real 'truth' is something that no one can fully grasp. This endless knowledge will explode the cognition of all living things. This is why, once someone glimpses the truth, they will fall into madness, their temperament will change drastically, or even explode and die.

God is no exception."

"Even so, 'Truth' will still make many beings jealous, because even if they peek into and understand a corner of the truth, it will bring a huge increase. By mastering a part of the truth, they can deduce the direction of anything they want to know. The past, present, and future are all within the calculation of the truth.

Therefore, in the face of truth, there is no concept of time and space, time is just a point to it; similarly, as long as you master the truth, you can use their entangled connections to do what you want thousands of miles away, so the concept of space will no longer exist.

This is why the [Key to the Gate] guarding the Gate of Truth is called time and space itself. He who possesses a portion of the power of truth can freely travel through any time and space, and is omniscient and all-seeing. "

After hearing these words, Lin Qiye's expression became more solemn.

"【Key to the Gate】, is it so scary?"

"I didn't know it at first, but after I came into contact with the Gate of Truth, I truly felt its power... This is why I asked the Heavenly Court to kill me directly." An Qingyu said calmly, "If the [Key to the Gate] reappears, the earth will be destroyed soon."

"Qingyu..."

Jiang Er, who was floating in the air, heard these words and gently stroked his palms with her empty hands, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Don't worry about me." An Qingyu smiled slightly, "Maybe this is my fate... There's nothing wrong with being buried with you."

An Qingyu glanced downwards. Beneath the gloomy clouds, a gem-like lake was embedded between the mountains and the city, reflecting the sky clearly.

"We're here," he muttered to himself.

Jiang Er lay on the edge of the somersault cloud, her eyes swept across the Erhai Lake below, a gleam of light bloomed in her gray eyes, she pointed to a certain place and said:

"There."

"You guys go ahead, we'll be waiting nearby." Lin Qiye said to An Qingyu.

An Qingyu hummed, grabbed Jiang Er's wrist, and jumped off the somersault cloud.

Looking at the two figures falling straight towards the edge of Erhai Lake, the silent people on the clouds sighed helplessly.

…

The whistling wind blew past An Qingyu's ears. He lightly tapped his fingertips, and his rapidly falling figure quickly stopped and slowly landed on a shallow beach.

After actively touching the Door of Truth, he had completely broken through the seal that Tianzun had left deep in his soul. Everything about him returned to normal, even far surpassing its original state.

"I'm finally back..."

Jiang Er floated on the shallows, looking at the clear gem-like lake in front of him. His gloomy expression disappeared, and he felt relieved and excited instead.

When her beloved followed her back to the land she loved most, she couldn't wait to share all the beauty here. She wanted to tell An Qingyu how warm the wind was here, how clear the water was here, she wanted to show all the beauty here... because here, her past was buried.

She wanted to turn this beauty into An Qingyu's memory, so that whenever he thought of her, it would be as clear and beautiful as the water of Erhai Lake.

"Look, isn't it beautiful?!" Jiang Er floated to the edge of Erhai Lake and said with his arms open.

"Yeah." An Qingyu subconsciously wanted to touch the frame on his nose, but he only touched his nose. His glasses were broken in the sky. Fortunately, for him now, glasses have basically no use. The reason why he has been wearing them is just because of habit.

Maybe it was because he didn't have glasses, or because of his predetermined fate, but An Qingyu felt more relaxed than ever before. He slowly scanned the scenery in front of him, a smile on his face.

"it's beautiful."

"This is not the most beautiful time. It's a pity that the sky is a bit cloudy today. If it were sunny, we could see the white clouds and the gradual change of the sky and the lake..."

Before Jiang Er finished speaking, a low roar erupted from above the clouds, like a flash of thunder.

But the strange thing was that after the thunder, the sky did not become darker. The dark clouds that had accumulated over the city seemed to be shaken away by someone. A huge circular hole of sunlight fell from the sky, coating the entire Dali with a layer of light gold.

This sudden change in the weather made the pedestrians on the street in the distance look up suspiciously, with confusion written all over their faces... They had lived here for so many years and had never seen such a strange sight.

But at this moment, by the edge of Erhai Lake, two people smiled at the same time.

"It seems that today, we are the luckiest people in this city." An Qingyu said with a smile, "After all, even the gods are on our side."

"Then... can they hear what we say?" Jiang Er asked in a low voice, "That would be so embarrassing..."

"Don't worry, they won't listen after you say this."

"Too."

An Qingyu took Jiang Er's hand, and the two of them walked slowly along the shore of Erhai Lake sparkling in the sun...
