"This place is strange, why is there nothing here?" Tian Qing frowned.
“That’s right, even the mission hasn’t appeared. I really don’t understand!” Tian Qing also looked puzzled.
Boom—Crack!
Just as the two women were astonished, the sky split open, revealing three rows of ancient, blood-red characters—
Create the world you envision.
Gaining recognition grants access to the Radiant Origin of the Realm.
Without approval, all previous progress is null and void. You will have to wait ten days before entering this area.
Boom—Crack!
The crimson characters dissipated, and the surrounding scenery returned to its previous state of nothingness.
"This test..."
Tianqing looked at the thin figure in front of him, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything.
At this moment, Tian Qing, who was standing to the side, transformed into the Human Emperor's Armor and returned to Su Bai's world.
"well......"
Tianqing sighed, then transformed into the Human Emperor's Sword and flew into the world.
Thus, in this boundless void, only Su Bai remained.
He stared blankly ahead, having passed several tests without ever feeling confused. But now, he found himself at a loss.
Because he didn't understand what kind of world he truly desired.
"Sigh, Tianqing, didn't you say that we should talk more so that Master Su Bai wouldn't be so lonely? Why are you suddenly avoiding us?"
Within the world.
Tianqing looked at Tianqing with a puzzled expression.
"Then why did you follow me?"
Tian Qing glanced at her.
A hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
“Master Su Bai, from beginning to end, has lived for others, for him.”
"Whether it's Xiao Zhi, the human race, or the people he wants to resurrect later, these are all his reasons and meanings for living."
"Have you ever seen what Master Su Bai has truly done for himself?"
"He's in such a state now... he doesn't even know what he wants."
"For him, such a test is nothing less than a test of his conscience, a test that even the invincible heart cannot avoid."
"Then why didn't you tell him?" Tianqing asked.
"It's no use. If I could pass the test by telling Master Su Bai, then why would I hide it, and why would I come back here?"
"This is a question that requires a clear conscience. We can't help him; he has to get through it on his own."
Tian Qing sighed.
"I understand now... Could this be another case like Xiao Zhi's..."
"And you came here because you didn't want to see Master Su Bai fall into that state..."
Tianqing suddenly exclaimed.
Tian Qing did not refute, but once again transformed into the Human Emperor's armor.
"Why, why... He's done nothing wrong, so why does this world keep torturing him like this..."
Stay where you are.
Tianqing uttered a dejected sound.
As a sword spirit, it possesses an invincible heart and lacks the seven emotions and six desires of ordinary living beings.
Even so, at this moment, she still felt a deep sense of oppression that reached the very core of her being.
The oppressive atmosphere was so intense that even she found it extremely difficult to bear.
One can only imagine the kind of oppression that frail figure was enduring at that moment.
Whoosh!
Unable to bear the sight and unable to look directly at it, Tianqing transformed into the shape of a sword at that moment.
This is their way of escaping.
but.
The frail figure standing upright in this void had no way, and no reason, to escape; it could only silently endure it.
for a long time.
The frail figure closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on this void.
At this moment, his consciousness had already entered the body of the boy wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, standing in the snow and ice.
Looking at the neatly stacked pile of waste paper in his arms, he realized that all he wanted at that moment was a few steamed buns to fill his stomach.
He remembered this, and when he reappeared, he came to the boy who was standing on tiptoe by the classroom window, staring intently at the podium.
He remembered that at that moment, what he wanted was to learn this boxing style, because then he wouldn't... feel cold anymore.
whoosh whoosh...
An endless, biting wind swept in, and the boy instinctively shivered.
He hadn't felt cold for a long time, but he still felt a chill that penetrated to the bone from this boy.
However, compared to all that, it seemed that the mockery from the students in the classroom was what truly made the boy feel cold.
Whoosh!
The scene shifted, and his consciousness was drawn to the boy who was slowly breaking up a steamed bun and feeding it to the snow-white puppy.
Once again, he watched helplessly as the little dog died.
He could sense that the boy's already cold heart had grown even colder at this moment, but at this moment, the boy's heart was still warm.
Moreover, as time went by, the boy's heart warmed up once again.
At that time, he had a dream: to make a friend.
But soon, after the girl sitting next to him said those words, his burning heart was pierced in an instant, and all the warmth he had accumulated before turned into nothingness.
However, with the arrival of that baby, he seemed to have found another direction in life.
At that time, his thoughts were very simple. He just wanted to protect the baby and not let her go through what he had gone through.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a consciousness suddenly descended upon Su Bai's consciousness.
He turned his head and saw a man in a black robe, with a gentle and calm gaze that made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, slowly walking towards him.
"So, at that time, you had lost hope in the world, but you didn't want others to lose hope in the world like you did."
"How did you enter my consciousness?" Su Bai glanced at him indifferently.
The person who came was his father, Su Chengtian.
“You should say that I have always been here and have never left, but I have always been able to stay here and cannot leave.”
"The power of laws?"
"The Law of Time".
Su Chengtian readily admitted it.
"However, the power of this will will soon dissipate. The reason I lingered here was to see you one more time."
Su Bai remained silent, as if he didn't exist. As he turned away, his consciousness surged once more, taking him to one scene after another.
However, Su Chengtian seemed to follow Su Bai like a shadow, following him wherever he appeared, and the distance between them never changed.
Before long, Su Bai's consciousness appeared on the boy who walked out of No. 8 Middle School.
The boy stopped and looked around. All he could feel was waves of mockery. The faces of those people were like icy thorns, making his already cold heart grow even colder.
"At this moment, you're thinking about proving yourself, right?" Su Chengtian asked.
Su Bai did not answer, and moved on to the next memory scene with an indifferent expression.
This is a desolate desert. On the desert, a middle-aged man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit is holding a long spear. Facing a group of demons, he unleashes the most fierce spear light he has ever seen!
Whoosh!
The spear fell, and the middle-aged man turned around with a smile.
"How about that, Su Bai? My act wasn't any worse than yours, was it!"
"Get out of here! When you become a supreme being, come back here and inform Xie Changkong!"
Thump thump thump...
Scene after scene shattered in an instant before Su Bai's eyes.
But the middle-aged man's domineering voice kept lingering in the boy's ears at this moment, like a persistent ailment, impossible to shake off.
"Xie Changkong is a hero."
Su Chengtian sighed.
He turned to look at Su Bai, wanting to say something, but Su Bai once again indifferently walked into the next memory scene.
Here, he saw a staggering, trembling man, fearlessly charging towards the demon race ahead despite his fatal injuries.
"Qin Tianzhu!"
A gasp came from afar.
Upon hearing this, the man suddenly turned around, and a hint of anger inexplicably appeared on his resolute, pale face.
"I'll repeat myself one last time: my surname is Qin, and my given name is Tianzhu. You can call me Lao Qin or Tianzhu, but don't fucking call me by my full name, are you OK?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he collapsed into a pool of blood.
But the cigarette butt in his mouth seemed to be held tightly in his teeth, as if by some kind of obsession.
Never, ever relax...
Bang bang bang!
The image shattered again.
Su Bai's consciousness stood silently in place, and his previously indifferent expression began to waver slightly at this moment.
But after a moment, this wavering dissipated, replaced by a deeper indifference.
Not long after, his consciousness disappeared again, and when he reappeared, he was standing in front of the man who was getting older and older.
"Su Bai, I have to say, it's really satisfying to slap your face."
"Go back and tell Xixue that my fifth power of rule is hope!"
"Remember, Su Bai, I didn't die for you, I died for the entire human race!"
"......"
In this situation, his eyes, which had been filled with endless indifference, once again involuntarily showed a hint of wavering.
Thump thump thump...
