Chapter 370 Monster Hospital (Sixty-nine)
She was very anxious in her heart, but did not show any emotion on her face. She just held the egg in her hand very gently, for fear of causing any discomfort to the other party.
In just such a short moment, she had turned back into the stern-faced girl, hiding murderous intent, facing the vast expanse of white above her head and stepping on the soft grass under her feet.
Bei Xi, who hadn't received a response for a long time, was about to lose her last bit of patience. She turned towards an unknown direction and said, "Although I promised her that I would purify the evil thoughts that would arise in the future, I can also quit. You know what I care about most. Just a promise she made before she left can't hold me back. As long as I want, I can still turn the world upside down. You know I have the ability to do so now."
There was a certain existence who refused to accept the toast and had to drink a forfeit. Bei Xi had no way to talk to the other party in a nice manner, so she directly resorted to threats. Sure enough, not long after her voice fell, a mumbling voice finally appeared, accompanied by several thunders falling from the sky.
I just don’t know if it’s because of Bei Xi’s ability, the thunder wasn’t even very loud, it was muffled, as if he was holding back something. “I knew you weren’t an easy person to deal with, I still like her more.”
Tiandao spoke reluctantly. Although he was very dissatisfied with Beixi, she was the only person he could use at the moment. Besides, the threats made by the other party could actually be done, so he dared not disobey.
"Oh, what a coincidence, I like her more too." Bei Xi had always been critical of Tian Dao, and Nan Huan's plan this time was to join forces with Tian Dao, and she was the only one kept in the valley, so naturally she had no curiosity about the other party, "and she likes her more than you do."
She didn't know why she had to be so picky. It might be because her emotions had fluctuated greatly before and she hadn't calmed down yet, or maybe she was simply upset about Nan Huan's departure and wanted to find a place to vent. But after she said it, Bei Xi felt that it was a bit boring. After all, she had more important things to do now.
She ignored Tiandao's attitude and did not give him a chance to reply. Instead, she showed the egg in her arms to Tiandao, "This is what appeared after Anan... disappeared. She is Shenqi. Doesn't she have the ability to reincarnate? Is this the egg she got after reincarnation?"
When talking about Nanhua's disappearance, Beixi still felt a pang of pain in her heart, but the egg in her arms was like a hope, making her try hard to suppress the emotions in her heart. Although she asked calmly, she was still holding her breath in her heart, fearing that Tiandao would say something she couldn't accept.
The waiting time became extremely anxious. Just when Bei Xi could not wait for the other party's answer and was about to continue asking, Tian Dao finally spoke, "I don't know either."
Tiandao no longer had the mechanical and cold voice of the system. For some unknown reason, there was even a hint of dejection in its words.
However, these words still made Bei Xi almost gasp for air. She took several deep breaths, and asked patiently, "What do you mean you don't know? Is there something you don't know? Didn't you work together to deceive me? Now you have such a result, and you tell me you don't know. If it's not her, who else could it be? If you still want to deceive me, don't blame me for not keeping my promise to her. I really don't care. How many people have to die for her to come back to life?"
I don’t know if it was because Bei Xi’s tone was a little harsh, or if I sensed some uneasiness in the other person’s tone. The egg, which was originally safely held in Bei Xi’s arms, seemed to suddenly feel Bei Xi’s emotions. It turned around in the other person’s arms again and stuck to Bei Xi, as if trying to comfort her in this way.
The heart fragments in Bei Xi's body also beat twice at the right time. This time, Bei Xi didn't think it was an illusion at all.
Tian Dao was speechless. After hearing what Bei Xi said, he quickly explained, "Please understand clearly that it was not me and her who colluded to deceive you. She acted first and asked for your permission later. I had no choice but to become her accomplice. And if I had to choose, I would definitely choose to let her live. At least she is emotionally stable, unlike you who explodes after just one or two words."
Tiandao was telling the truth. If it weren't for the next thing that depended on Beixi, it really wanted to break off relations with the other party, but it couldn't. However, if you put yourself in the other party's shoes, it would be really unfair. After all, Beixi had already prepared to sacrifice herself, but she didn't expect Nanhuan to do such a thing. It would be strange if she wasn't angry. Even the right to disappear with Nanhuan was deprived.
Thinking of this, when Tiandao spoke again, his tone was obviously much better. "When I said I don't know, I really don't know, and I can't be sure, because I also know that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Do you know why Shenqi could have chosen to sacrifice you and suppress those evil thoughts, but still took this desperate way to sacrifice himself in exchange for your freedom and purify those evil thoughts?"
When Tiandao said these words, he was quite serious. Even though there was a bit of melancholy in his tone, Beixi did not bother with it. "I don't know. She didn't say anything until the very end. She asked me to take a good look at the world for her. What do you mean when you said you were not sure? Do you have the same guess as me? But aren't you Tiandao? Don't you know it yourself?"
Tiandao did not directly answer Beixi's question this time, but asked her in return, "Since your memory has been restored, and you and Shenqi have seen many scenes before you were born, you should still remember the catastrophe that existed for mankind from the very beginning, right?"
Although Bei Xi was not sure why Tian Dao mentioned this, she still nodded patiently, "Although it was delayed so late by Anan, it should be completely over now, right?"
There was no more thunder in the air, but the voice of the Heavenly Dao could be clearly heard by Bei Xi, as if it was everywhere. "It's not over. To be precise, it should be broken by Shen Qi."
"Since Shenqi was born, she has been wandering in the human world. Even when faced with things that were already determined by the Heavenly Dao, she would still rely on her own judgment to help humans. At the beginning, there was indeed no effect. After all, compared with the Heavenly Dao, human power is too weak. Just like the catastrophe brought about by the initial war, humans should have been destroyed at that time, and then billions of years later, life would be born again, and they would reproduce and perish endlessly again. This is the reason for my existence."
Listening to Tiandao's explanation, Beixi couldn't help but reveal a complicated expression on her face. She thought of the fourth life of the Acting Dean, which seemed to have broken some destined things. At that time, it seemed to have foreshadowed the development direction of certain things.
Tiandao looked at Beixi's expression and knew that the other party had thought of it. "I didn't care at first. I thought that even if humans had slight changes, as long as the evil thoughts were not completely eliminated, destruction would be a matter of time. Shenqi could only delay the arrival of that day, but how much meaning does that have? I didn't understand until I found that some things that even I couldn't predict happened. Even Shenqi and you had evil thoughts, and they had consciousness and perception. Shenqi was reluctant to make a decision. At first, I just thought she was simply confused by you..."
When Bei Xi heard this, she snorted in dissatisfaction. Because she had an egg in her arms that depended on her very much, Bei Xi was unwilling to argue with the other party.
"Later, Shen Qi broke her own heart and told me that even if she completely eliminated all the evil thoughts this time, it would only be a temporary solution. As long as humans exist, evil thoughts cannot be permanently eliminated. Even if she completely resolved this catastrophe, sooner or later, when the evil thoughts gathered again, the catastrophe would come again. Moreover, she had tried the purification method before and found that it was indeed effective, but it took a lot of effort for the first time. After all, these were evil thoughts that had accumulated since the beginning of the world..."
"She could have completed the purification at that time, but on the one hand, she needed to completely sever the connection between you monsters who feed on evil thoughts and your evil thoughts. On the other hand, she was worried about you. On the other hand, she needed to leave a successor to this world. She needed time to restore everything. That's why she made that choice at that time. She tore her heart into pieces, gave the Evil God and Man Wugui an illusion, bought time, and allowed you and her heart to merge better. Until today, she has indeed done it."
"The moment all my evil thoughts were purified, I felt that I was different. I originally thought that as long as the catastrophe no longer existed, there might be no meaning for my existence. But now I am still here, and at the same time I have gained freedom..."
"free?"
Bei Xi repeated it unconsciously, not quite sure that the two words Tian Dao said were what she understood. Moreover, in her inherent concept, wasn't Tian Dao freer than anyone else? It shouldn't need this thing.
Tiandao didn't care about Beixi's doubtful tone, and explained to him very calmly, "Yes, freedom. Originally, I didn't have these. The reason why Tiandao exists is to follow the predetermined destiny and guide mankind to follow the predetermined path, endless birth, death, over and over again. So as early as when I was born, where I needed to appear and what I needed to do were all determined. I couldn't go against these. It was like being rolled up in a huge shell. I could only follow everything that existed step by step, watching life appear and disappear. Even when Shenqi was born, there was no difference."
"But as she intervened in human affairs, my established rules began to change. It wasn't obvious at first, until the last time she tore her heart into pieces. This was completely beyond my expectations and was no longer in the established rules. So many years have passed, and until that moment just now, I could feel that the power that had been restraining me had completely disappeared after the evil thoughts were purified. In other words,..."
Bei Xi finally understood what Tian Dao wanted to express, "The destiny of mankind has been broken, and you are not sure what will happen next?"
Bei Xi finally understood the reason that the other party said, which she herself was not quite clear about, and also understood why Anan insisted on letting her see this world, because this is a brand new world, and its operation no longer depends on an invisible big hand, but on human beings themselves.
"Yes," Tiandao sighed. Beixi couldn't tell whether he was feeling disappointed at suddenly losing his job or relieved at not having any heavy burdens, but he shifted the topic back to Nanhuan at this time.
“But even when I could still see everything, when I learned of Shen Qi’s plan, I did not see Shen Qi’s death from the images I could see. Although she made this choice at that time, I had already assumed that she would perish. Just like what the evil god said before, as long as Shen Qi’s heart remained in this world, no matter how much time had passed, she would still be reincarnated and reborn. But in this world, even I do not understand Shen Qi’s true power. Even though her other heart fragments disappeared just now, the one she left in your body still played a subtle role…”
Tiandao's words were not ambiguous, but Beixi still couldn't find his voice for a long time, "You mean, ahem...you mean..."
"You mean, this egg is really her?"
"I think it should be her. She left a seed for you. The heartbeat in your body made the seed take root, sprout, and bear fruit. There should be no one else except her."
Tiandao's current ability may not be as good as Beixi's, but she can still feel the faint breath of Shenqi from this egg. Although she was surprised by this result, it seemed to confirm Shenqi's guess. After Tiandao was broken, humans began to create miracles, and Shenqi certainly had his own miracles.
Bei Xi slowly let out the breath he had been holding, with a feeling of regaining what he had lost in his heart. His elbows were shaking, and it took him a long time before he squatted on the ground without caring about his image. He held the egg in his arms, lowered his head and said nothing, but in the quiet environment, Tiandao could still hear some faint sobs.
The egg seemed to be able to sense Bei Xi's mood. It just stayed obediently on Bei Xi's chest, accompanying her quietly. Occasionally, Bei Xi's heartbeat would beat twice at the right time, as if to comfort her.
After who knows how long, Tiandao was already too impatient to wait and had to speak up, "I say you should stop. There are still many things to do. You have to deal with this mess, right?"
A strong wind suddenly blew up in the calm space, as if the Heavenly Dao finally couldn't wait any longer and looked a little irritable, but Bei Xi, who was squatting on the ground, didn't react for a long time and seemed to be still immersed in his own emotions.
If Tiandao hadn't felt that it was not in line with his status to swear just after he was out of control, and that he needed Beixi's strength now, he would have struck with lightning. He endured it again and again, and then decided to adopt a roundabout policy, "You haven't done what Shenqi asked you to do. When she comes back, let me see how you will explain it?"
Sure enough, Bei Xi, who had not reacted just now, seemed to have finally come out of his emotions. He carefully put the egg back into his pocket, reached out his hand to comfort it, and then slowly stood up.
Although there were no visible marks on her face, her eyes were still red.
Tiandao couldn't stand her changing face so quickly, and couldn't help but complain, "Do you need to be so careful? If she breaks when she falls, is she still called Shenqi? You are so careful, maybe if she falls, she will change back to her original appearance?"
Bei Xi knew it was joking. She was in a very good mood after losing and regaining something. She didn't want to argue with the other party. She just cleared her throat, looked at the green grass that had just spread out, and asked casually, "What do you need me to do?"
"Could you please look up and around before you speak?" Tiandao responded without any curiosity. "Just now at the last moment, Shenqi used the contracts signed by the players who entered the game to protect them. Even those who have died in the game have been protected. Now all human players have returned to their own time and space. What you urgently need to deal with are the evil thoughts that have been purified and are still here. Oh, should we call them 'spirits'?"
When Bei Xi heard it talking, he looked up and around. In fact, when Nan Huan disappeared just now, those white lights fell into a state of stillness. Even until the entire game became a ruin, those white lights were still in a state of stillness.
Only then did Bei Xi see that there was a vague human figure in the white light, as well as some faint blue spots.
"And what do you plan to do with your kind who are protected in an independent space by the gods?"
"I am responsible for all this?" Bei Xi was a little stunned. She felt as if she had taken on a very important job. "How to deal with it depends entirely on my opinion?"
"What else?" Tian Dao asked, "Don't count on me. Although I am not restricted, I am not Shen Qi. There are some things I am powerless to do. Now that you have inherited some of her power, only you can do it."
"Those spirits were left behind by humans a long time ago, but their bodies are long gone. Even if they are no longer evil thoughts, they have nowhere to go..."
Although Tiandao said that he didn't care, he still wanted to reveal his opinion indirectly. However, he was interrupted by Beixi before he finished speaking. "The virtual space of the game world can still exist. I don't think it has collapsed completely. Let them stay here. My fellow people should stay here as well. Although they are no longer affected by evil thoughts, they have so many talents and abilities. If they really enter the current human society, it will be a big problem. It's good to stay here. Just like many years ago, this is their new home..."
Bei Xi came up with a solution without much thought. She felt the power surging in her body, and tried to raise her arm and tap it in the air.
The green grass that had only spread a few meters away began to spread rapidly throughout the entire game space, and the white light that was still in the air suddenly began to flow. One by one, human figures with blue light fell from the air to the ground, and soon they took on the appearance of humans, with a dazed expression.
"I thought you would have some other ideas?" Looking at the originally desolate game world, under Bei Xi's action of appointing troops and generals, it quickly recovered to a living environment similar to the real world. Even the living space for monsters and spirits was not taken into consideration. Tiandao was quite satisfied with the unique buildings that were built.
"What's your idea? Are you going to crush all these creatures to death here?" Bei Xi touched the egg in his pocket and talked nonsense to Tian Dao nonchalantly, "I don't advocate violence. Besides, this is what Anan purified with great difficulty. I'm not that cruel."
After saying this, without waiting for Tiandao to answer, she thought of another thing, "By the way, are there evil gods and Man Wugui among these spirits?"
Those two people existed independently from himself and Shenqi. If other evil thoughts had been purified, what about them?
"I don't know. They have committed so many sins and they must atone for their sins. They may have disappeared in the process just now, or they may be atonement in some form. After their sins are atonement, maybe they can continue to live happily together in the new home you created?"
Bei Xi held the egg in her arms, stood on the green grass, looked at the prosperous scene in front of her, and said softly, "That's good too."
