Shekh said provocatively, "Didn't you want to take me away? Come on then."
She took a step forward. "What are you still hesitating about? Are you someone who wants to die again? Aren't you the best at sacrificing others without asking? Why don't you sacrifice me yet? Why don't you erase my feelings? Aren't you going to save the world?"
Snowflakes fell softly in the colorless world, which looked filthy at first glance. Sheh stood in the center of the formation, questioning incessantly.
"You tested me relentlessly, giving him the right to use his skills in the original world, all to accelerate my evolution and perfect my body, personality, and everything else."
"Now the time has come. You don't want to wait any longer. You want me to go back and absorb all the evil in the world, to become a cold, inanimate tool, a container for the darkness that you cannot eliminate."
"Without me, has the negative energy you can control already reached its limit? Or is it because you are afraid that I will grow to an uncontrollable point and threaten other worlds that you bewitched the Queen to deceive me and used her to take everything away from me?"
Shekh said in a somber voice, "But without me, you've discovered that you have nowhere to place or eliminate the dark power coming from other places."
The skill 【生生】 can purify the black mist, but since the skill resides on Mu Bai, who is the life source of another world, Mu Bai cannot leave his own world without permission. He can only purify the black mist of his own world and is powerless to do anything else.
Recalling what Mu Bai had said, Sheh said to the system, "Besides you, there are other mysterious forces. These mysterious forces invade various worlds, which is why there are strange instances like Slander that require re-establishing anchor points. Black Mist is one of these forces."
"You are powerless against the black mist, and you can't rely on the world bosses to deal with it, right?"
The wind and snow stopped, the air suddenly froze, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point, the chill penetrating deep into the bones.
Unaware of her surroundings, Shekh endlessly absorbed the purified divine power, and her past became clearer as her divinity filled in.
The fog of mystery dissipated, and she revealed the truth that the game had been hiding.
"Every advanced ability you can use must be obtained after the boss dies. If they are alive, you can only steal the most basic ability. The reason why there are no life-related skill cards in the game is because [Life Awakening] is a skill that you have never truly obtained. You cannot directly control [Life Awakening] to purify the black mist, so you have to exhaust the time until the boss dies and take his heart."
Shi Jinzhe's attention was entirely focused on her, and his thinking was entirely directed towards Shehe. Upon hearing the words "Fusheng," his gaze fixed on an empty spot, and he spoke coldly:
"So it doesn't design your fate, but only wants you to return, because the black mist will only erase your emotional memories and make you cold and ruthless, but it is not really harmful to you."
Resentment grew, and the Golden Ring expanded to cover all nine cities. Shi Jinzhe spread out a palm, and as he turned his wrist, beams of light shot out from all angles, as if he held the lives of everyone in his hands.
"You dare not use Shekh's skills, and you are afraid of being corrupted by the black mist and having your hard-won personality erased. But what right do you have to erase her personality!"
Her personality is something I gave her!
“It’s nothing more than stealing the ability to grant life.” Shekh wrapped his hands around Shi Jin’s folded palms, bent his fingers, and made his palms gradually close together.
The rapid disappearance of lives in the nine cities finally made the system unable to remain calm. An airtight, transparent lid was suddenly placed over the scene. Just a second before Sher and Shi Jinzhe parted ways, Sher said, "I believe you."
Her eyelashes closed, and her consciousness was pulled into the abyss by darkness.
There are methods, but the execution process is too challenging and prone to failure.
...
People are inherently greedy; you must first be true to yourself before loving others.
[This ribbon is very important; you can't take it off now.]
[You're so wonderful, someone will surely overcome all obstacles to come to your side. But treasures are always hard to discover; the later they arrive and the more wretchedly they leave, the more precious you are.]
[Infinite possibilities—the meaning of this pattern perfectly suits you.]
Bai Weishuang's words echoed in his mind again; those words, which sounded like admonitions in the game, were actually her telling him what to do.
"Shekh!"
The divine teleportation was interrupted by the system's forced teleportation away from Sheh. Shi Jinzhe only had time to grab her sleeve before she disappeared right in front of him.
The long-stretched thread finally snapped, and he looked at his hand with trembling hands.
A thin golden thread connects to a distant mountain peak, towering and precipitous, with the end of the thread at the summit.
The view below the peak was difficult to see, but that road was one that Shekh had deliberately avoided when leading the way, and he had caught a glimpse of it from afar when he arrived.
Spiky vines entwine, their exaggerated and bizarre outlines resembling menacing demons. Poisonous swamps are everywhere, and unspeakable dangers lurk in the shadows; it is truly a land of thorns.
Fueled by impatience and anger, Shi Jin tore off a piece of his clothing to bandage his unhealed wound, following his instincts as he walked toward the end of the golden thread.
At the summit, the system abandoned Shekh, rushed out of the past, and angrily questioned Bai Weishuang, "What did you do?!"
Bai Weishuang stepped over a drained corpse, not avoiding Linlang, and asked directly, "What's wrong? Did you fail to take Shekh away?"
Linlang perked up her ears and listened carefully to what was going on.
She was helping Madam Mo walk along the road when suddenly everyone in the city collapsed and died without warning. It seemed to be related to Shekh and the others.
"You wanted to take Shekh to another world, to completely sever her connection with my child, and now that you haven't succeeded, you're getting angry and ashamed?"
Linlang couldn't hear the system's voice and was extremely anxious. Little did she know that Bai Weishuang was already gritting her teeth in anger at the system's steady, mechanical voice.
[You've been operating right under my nose the whole time, so when exactly did you manage to accomplish this?]
"I didn't do it."
Bai Weishuang coughed, her eyes red, and said lightly, "I don't even have a single two-word skill card. I can't do these things. I just found a helper."
She said, "The teleportation array you lent to the Queen was very useful, so I borrowed it too. Ah... and that piece of snakeskin that the Queen kept for herself. You can take advantage of her selfishness, and so can I."
Several frames flashed back quickly, the system freezing each frame one by one. When the image stopped at the teleportation array in the center of the maze, and the snake molts automatically attached themselves to the bone city wall, it understood everything.
[...So that's how it is.]
It sarcastically asks: "Treat your own child like this, aren't you afraid he'll hate you?"
“I have never been a good mother for a single day. It is his right to hate me.”
Bai Weishuang's head throbbed as if hammered, enduring the pain of physical discomfort, "As long as he's alive, it doesn't matter if he hates me."
System: [I'm afraid he won't even have the chance to hate you.]
"Really? Then go back." She provoked the system. "Do you think you can go back after you come back?"
【！！】
Upon testing the system, it was shocked to discover that it had completely lost contact with Shekh!
