Chapter 738: Reaching the Second Level
"quick!"
"Hurry up!"
"Da-da-da! Da-da-da!"
When hurried footsteps sounded from all directions, the huge phantom of Tathagata floating above Fengyuan City had become very blurry.
The Buddha's light that could once have competed with the bright moon was now only a thin layer left, like a bubble that would burst with a poke, causing the people in the city who had no idea what was happening to become extremely panicked.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the only 30,000 Fengyuan defenders who were still able to move left the camp and rushed towards the north gate. Of the six Buddhist monks who originally presided over the Heavenly Buddha Formation, only Wu Chen was left.
"Gulp."
With their Adam's apples moving, the three third-rank deputy generals who arrived first had already left the Heavenly Buddha Formation and were now standing in front of Wei Changtian with nervous expressions.
More and more soldiers were gathering in the city gate behind them.
In front of them, the enemy scouts were getting closer and closer. "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
One of the deputy generals looked back at Wei Changtian who was still sitting with his eyes closed, and slowly drew the sword from his waist.
"Remember, our mission is to protect this person!"
"Don't retreat until it's absolutely necessary!"
"As soon as we retreat, His Majesty will withdraw from the battlefield! You all know what this means!"
"good!"
"good!"
Two "yes" were heard in succession. Although the three of them had not discussed Wei Changtian's identity even once, they must have had this question in their hearts.
Looking at Xu Suisui standing on the city wall from afar, they all sighed silently.
Xu Suisui himself had no time to look at them at this moment. His eyes were fixed on Wei Changtian, and his expression was extremely nervous.
Judging from the firelight not far away, at most a hundred scouts from the two countries would arrive.
But Wei Changtian still shows no sign of waking up.
With so many people around, Xu Suisui couldn't shout anymore. He could only clench his fists and pray in his heart.
"Wake up."
"Wei Changtian, please"
"Wake up!"
“.”
In the illusion.
Just as the battle outside the north city gate was about to break out, Wei Changtian had already followed the man and the woman to the milky white light curtain.
It was like the portal in Doraemon, or the wormhole in science fiction movies that could travel through time and space. It seemed as if there was another world behind this light curtain, a world that Wei Changtian missed very much.
What will happen if you walk through this light curtain? Can you really travel back in time? Or will you be trapped in the depths of the illusion and unable to extricate yourself?
Wei Changtian didn’t know and didn’t think about it.
He just walked closer and closer until he slowly stood in front of the light curtain.
"Son, we are going home."
Noticing that he had stopped, the woman also stopped moving forward and turned back and said with a smile: "Mom has been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Yes, now our family is finally reunited."
The man also urged softly, "Son, let's go."
“.”
Both of them had extremely peaceful eyes, and their voices revealed joy and happiness.
However, Wei Changtian did not take another step forward. He just lowered his head and said slowly after a long silence: "Dad, Mom."
"I'll take you here."
"Son, you."
The woman widened her eyes in disbelief, was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed Wei Changtian's hand in panic.
"What's wrong? Why do you say that?"
"Aren't you going back with mom and dad?"
"yes."
Wei Changtian nodded, looked up at the panicked woman, and replied softly, "I can't go back."
"Why not?!"
The woman's expression became more anxious: "Don't you want to be with your parents?!"
"Mom and Dad can't live without you!"
"Son, be obedient, be obedient, and follow mom and dad!"
"Mom, please, come home with us!"
"Be obedient and come home with us."
“.”
From surprise, to panic, and finally to pleading.
The woman's voice became louder and louder, and her tone became more urgent and humble.
But Wei Changtian remained motionless. He just looked at the increasingly ferocious faces of the man and the woman and shook his head bitterly.
"Mom, Dad, I want to go home."
"But I know this back there is not my home, and you are not them."
"I knew it from the beginning."
"sorry"
“.”
While saying "You are not them", he was still calling the couple "Mom and Dad".
Wei Changtian's words seemed somewhat contradictory at first, but they also reflected his mood at the moment.
Even though he knew it was fake, he still wanted to look at them a few more times and listen to them a few more words.
However, we must wake up when it’s time to wake up. “Son! We are your mom and dad!”
"Why would you think that?!"
"Let's go! Go home!!"
“Hurry up!!!”
Grasping Wei Changtian's wrist tightly, the woman suddenly became hysterical. While shouting, she and the man tried to drag Wei Changtian into the light curtain.
However, Wei Changtian was not dragged by them. Instead, he took a half step back.
"I'm sorry, I really can't leave."
“.”
"You! You evil bastard!!!"
"Wow, wow, wow! Son, come with mom! Mom is begging you!!"
"ah!!"
"Drag him away!!"
"Drag him away!!!"
"Mom and Dad can't live without you!!"
"Go! Go quickly!!!"
Distorted and sharp screams, fierce and crazy expressions.
The faces of the man and the woman became distorted little by little in Wei Changtian's gaze, and in the blink of an eye they no longer looked like "humans".
Faced with these two terrifying phantoms, most people would probably feel scared at this moment.
But Wei Changtian's eyes did not change at all, and he even slowly knelt in front of the two men.
"Dad, Mom."
"I don't know if you can hear me."
"If I can't go back, then you must continue to live well."
"I am doing well in this world, don't worry."
“And if I could go back, I would.”
"Don't worry."
"As long as there is a slight chance, I will definitely go back"
“.”
"Boom, boom, boom"
Amid the chaotic and painful roars of the men and women, Wei Changtian kowtowed to them three times, then stood up and stepped back step by step.
With every step he took, the real scene around him became more blurred until it returned to its original pure white appearance.
In the distance, only the last outlines of the two figures remained, and everything became calm again before the illusion was about to shatter.
Just at this moment, Wei Changtian suddenly heard another voice.
"Go, son."
"Mom and Dad love you."
“.”
With a smile on his lips, Wei Changtian didn't say anything else. Instead, he closed his eyes, and slowly opened them after a breath.
"boom!!!!"
The next moment, an aura that seemed to be able to crush thousands of troops and that belonged only to the second-grade warrior of the "Power Over Mountains and Rivers" realm, rose straight into the sky from the pile of corpses filled with flesh and blood, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.
The turbid waves surged up from the sky, turning the rivers and seas upside down and destroying the mountains.
The second year of Taichu, March 26, 1st quarter of the hour of Yin.
On the 831st day after the time travel, Wei Changtian ascended to the second rank outside Fengyuan City.
