Bang.
The sound of metal and some hard wooden material colliding and rubbing against each other was so loud that it made your teeth ache.
Xu Xu widened her eyes and looked at the wooden stick that blocked the fatal blow for her.
It was not a wooden stick at all. Xu Xu looked closely and saw that it was clearly the whisk in the Taoist priest's hand, which had been beaten to pieces by Ren Gui last time.
The Taoist priest also knew that his magic weapon was useless. The whisk that was originally able to withstand attacks could only rely on the special materials it was made of to barely block Ren Gui's attack and save Xu Xu's life from him.
Ren Gui's attacks were not so easy to resist, especially for the Taoist priest whose strength was weakening with the changing worlds and the increasing number of reincarnations. He was sweating profusely.
"Please allow me a moment!"
He struggled to divert Ren Gui's supernatural power away from Xu Xu, but Xu Xu had already hidden behind the Taoist priest when he realized that he was not attacked.
At this time, she was not as arrogant as before. Bai Yuzhi remembered that when they first met, Xu Xu was extremely arrogant and cold and attacked her with the theory that she was a useless vase. Now, looking at her, she was still hiding behind others.
Bai Yuzhi thought it was ridiculous.
Some people clearly know that not everyone is lucky enough to awaken powerful superpowers to protect themselves. Xu Xu knows in her heart that no one can have her kind of bad luck to rely on robbing and stealing others to fill themselves up, but when encountering weak people, Xu Xu will still choose to mock them.
Even if you ignore it, it’s fine, but Xu Xu is not like that.
She prefers to use this method of mocking the weak to highlight her own strength.
It was as if she didn't hate some people who mocked her when she was weak in her previous life.
People like this, once they seize the opportunity to climb up, will instantly forget why they climbed up in the first place, and instead turn around and oppress those who have suffered the same hardships as themselves, as if this perverted behavior will bring them something good.
In fact, it's just disgusting.
Ren Gui didn't want to listen to the Taoist's nonsense, and Bai Yuzhi didn't say anything. More and more attacks were inflicted on Xu Xu, but they were all resisted by the Taoist with difficulty.
Seeing that Ren Gui and Bai Yuzhi were unwilling to give him time, the Taoist priest could only smile bitterly. He dodged the attacks left and right while taking Xu Xu into consideration. It didn't take long for him to be defeated. Seeing that Xu Xu couldn't resist and was about to lose his life, he didn't care about anything else and just shouted loudly.
"She is the eye of this small world. If she dies, this world will never end!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Yuzhi stopped Ren Gui's attack.
The eye of the small world?
What is that thing? Bai Yuzhi knew the existence of world consciousness, but had never heard of what the world eye was.
If you don't know, ask Bai Yuzhi: "What is the boundary eye?"
Xu Xu herself didn't know what that boundary eye was, but that didn't stop her from breathing a sigh of relief.
No matter what it is, as long as she doesn't die.
Xu Xu lowered her head to hide the resentment in her eyes. She was almost unable to suppress her hatred for Bai Yuzhi. If she had not suddenly appeared, how could she have ended up in this situation today.
If it weren't for Bai Yuzhi, she would still be the second-in-command of the Forbidden Boat Base. How could she have been targeted and attacked by Ren Gui like this!
If Bai Yuzhi knew what Xu Xu was thinking right now, she would definitely ridicule him without hesitation.
It was clearly Ren Gui who tried to kill her, so why did she only dare to harbor hatred towards Bai Yuzhi and not say a word about Ren Gui who did it?
In the final analysis, he is just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. He even dares to hate only the weak.
The Taoist priest didn't even have time to catch his breath before he explained to Bai Yuzhi, "I won't hide it from you. This world's world consciousness is too weak. That's why it's affected by all kinds of worldly obsessions, causing the world's order to be completely disrupted."
Having said this, he glanced at Ren Gui.
The world consciousness here is declining because this is not supposed to be the end of the world, but due to uncontrollable factors, the entire world type has undergone irreversible changes.
For the world, this is equivalent to a fatal operation. If the world consciousness can still exist, it can be considered a successful operation. If it just declines, it is normal.
But even if the world consciousness is declining, it is almost impossible for human thoughts to influence the order of the world. However, this world has a person as strong and abnormal as Ren Gui. This back and forth has led to an infinite cycle of the world's timeline.
In such a reincarnation, apart from Ren Gui, the source of obsession, there should not be anyone with the memory of reincarnation. The Taoist priest knew this because he transcended the Six Paths, but Xu Xu was a person in the Six Paths, and by accident she also had the opportunity to be reborn.
This produced an unexpected result. Xu Xu, the unexpected person, became the loophole in this world.
Bai Yuzhi thought for a moment and understood: "You mean, she is the 'gate of life' in this world?"
The Taoist priest exclaimed: "That's right, the laywoman's analogy is just right."
In the Qi Men Dun Jia, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, every formation has a unique way out, and the 'door' leading to this way is the 'door of life'.
Only if Xu Xu lives in this world, the 'gate of life' of this world will remain intact and will not collapse or disappear.
Ren Gui seemed indifferent: "It doesn't matter whether she's there or not."
He no longer cares about reincarnation or not. Anyway, he has met Bai Yuzhi. Next time, and the next time, in the endless reincarnations, he will find her, and then he will be with her like this in every life.
From then on, he would never give the task of finding her to anyone else. Ren Gui would find Bai Yuzhi before she suffered any hardship in the apocalypse, and raise her, making her the eldest daughter he held in his palm in every life.
If you think about it this way, reincarnation doesn’t matter.
The Taoist priest understood what Ren Gui meant, but he shook his head.
"No more."
There will not be another reincarnation, this is the last time.
"This world's world consciousness is already too weak. Worlds repel and devour each other. When this ends, this world will be completely devoured by other world consciousnesses."
Bai Yuzhi remembered what the Taoist said that day.
He said that if he could not resolve the difficulties in this life, what awaited him would be the destruction of his soul.
Of course this is true. If the whole world is gone, then the people in this world will naturally have no way to survive.
