Chapter 88. And then, the celestial orbit…
The three of them entered the nightmare at the same time.
Since it is a nightmare, it leads directly to the scene that they fear most and that causes the most pain in their hearts.
Li Tiansheng opened his eyes in a daze and realized that he had never found the variable, and that Li Hongyi had left him many times before, and had a new life that was no longer related to him.
There were no more variables in Li Qingyun's memory. All the twists and turns were just his imagination. When he looked up, he was already all alone, a lone star cursed by heaven.
Chang Yubai...
Chang Yubai was the first to wake up, or rather, he simply couldn't believe that the scene before him was his reality.
He just felt angry.
"Big brother, look how rushed you are today. You can't rush like this for your birthday. Be careful on the road. If you get hurt, your parents and your brother will be sad too."
"Yes, it's your birthday today, brother. Don't be in a hurry. Since you're not here yet, everyone will definitely have to wait a little longer."
Noisy.
"Boss."
Bored.
A round-figured middle-aged man approached step by step, his face smiling gently: "This is a red envelope your father prepared for you. Happy birthday!"
I hate it.
"Enough!!" Chang Yubai's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "What right do you have to twist my past!"
As his words fell, the scene before him quickly reversed and vanished like a bubble.
All that remains is unspoken resentment.
"What makes you think that a false dream can keep me there?"
Because you were so eager for it back then.
You yearn for someone to love you, for someone to turn back to you; you yearn for those who have left you to come back and say a few words to you, even if it's just a pretense.
You long for someone whose heart and eyes are only for you.
The answer came from the depths of my soul.
The celestial orbit peers into the heart, seeing Chang Yubai's helplessness and loneliness at that time, and also glimpsing his desires.
However, one cannot simply equate one's past with the present.
Those so-called desires are outdated and insignificant.
Chang Yubai felt insulted.
He used a demonic possession to recall his life from his previous life—a life that was both laughable and tragic, filled with unknowing hatred and unrequited love, ultimately leading to a wretched death in an unconscious body.
What right does he have to linger or forgive?
How can such a heartwarming picture be constructed about a family that scumbags who tricked him, manipulated him, and then abandoned him?
Why should Li Qingyun be compared to these people?
Showing him such disgusting images would be an insult to his love for Li Qingyun.
"That shitty stuff, you can go get it yourself if you want it!"
He cursed and shattered the darkness before him. Once his consciousness returned to the Xuanji Star Chart, Chang Yubai's anger subsided completely.
Those things that shouldn't have been his concern were repeatedly mentioned, merely to lure him into a daze, make him lose trust in the Guanwu Continent, and make him give up his attachment to this life.
As long as Li Qingyun exists, he will never give a second glance to those trivial matters.
He waited a moment, and the other two people, who were also immersed in the nightmare, gradually realized that it was not real and slowly opened their eyes.
When Li Qingyun woke up, she was still in a daze: "Yu Bai? You... are you real?"
Chang Yubai took his hand and passed on the warmth of her palm.
He used his senses to tell Li Qingyun that he was indeed real.
"Can you feel it? If it's not enough, you can use my blood to break the demonic barrier."
"Blood?"
"My blood can break all worldly bonds; once you've tasted it, you'll know whether you're dreaming or not."
Before Li Qingyun could understand what Chang Yubai meant by the word "eat," her lips were sealed shut.
It turned out that this person had deliberately used the pretext of blood to solicit a long kiss.
The kiss, tinged with the smell of blood, neutralized the confusion in my thoughts, yet added a touch of bewilderment amidst the chaos of love.
"Yu Bai's kiss came a little too suddenly," Li Qingyun thought.
But the answer came quickly. Li Qingyun understood in an instant that Chang Yubai was also suffering in a nightmare, feeling wronged, and was asking her for comfort.
It's getting more and more barbaric.
Li Qingyun couldn't help but shake her head.
Although she was caught off guard by the kiss, when she came to her senses, she was already close to Qingyun, and her movements matched the kiss, and she was consciously immersed in the intimacy.
It wasn't until she caught sight of Li Tiansheng sitting helplessly to the side that Li Qingyun awkwardly ended the kiss first, and couldn't help but cough lightly.
Chang Yubai belatedly realized they were still doing serious business, so he looked at Li Tiansheng and asked, "And then?"
Li Tiansheng looked unwell. The Ghost Emperor, known for his ghostly body, seemed to have suffered the most from the trauma of nightmares.
He rubbed his temples, looking listless, but the clue he offered was the most useful and explosive: "Go to Baidai Building."
"I'll pave a road to heaven for you. You can just go straight up there. The avatar of Heaven's Will is waiting for you there."
Chang Yubai's eyes widened in shock.
Li Tiansheng smirked: "If they don't obey, then beat them until they do."
No wonder you looked so bad, it turns out you really had a fierce battle!
Chang Yubai quietly gave a thumbs-up in admiration.
Ascending the long, divine steps, the ancient buildings appear and disappear. The last time I stepped onto this heavenly staircase was over a hundred years ago, when Chang Yubai easily defeated his inner demons, earning him considerable prestige.
Who would have thought that going up again would be aimed at destroying the Heavenly Will clone that played the role of the inner demon inside?
On the top floor of the building, the wall suddenly slid open, revealing a narrow passageway.
Chang Yubai continued walking up the steps and arrived at the rooftop of the building.
A white light shaped like a book faintly appeared in the center of the place.
Beside the white book, a Taoist figure had been waiting for a long time.
Chang Yubai had seen this "inner demon" in the test of the Heavenly Pride Ranking. At that time, the other party used his appearance to lure him to fight with all his might in order to test his actual combat ability.
Unexpectedly, this consciousness with a tendency to guide combat was not a demon in its heart, but rather an avatar of destiny.
BOSS direct testing?
"I have done everything I can."
Surprisingly, the person standing in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar—no more than five feet tall, with a youthful air about him, yet also a sharp and stubborn demeanor.
This must be what Li Tiansheng looked like as a child.
"What a pity." Even in his youthful voice, Li Tiansheng said, "You all insisted on trying to break through the wall."
Why did I become possessed by a demon?
“I thought that if you were possessed by a demon, given your reclusive nature, you wouldn’t get involved in such troublesome matters.”
That's it?
"..."
"You really want me to stay out of it?"
The young Li Tiansheng was speechless for a moment, but then he just sighed: "I just want you to give up."
To stop it with all our might?
That's not necessarily true.
Often, the heavens don't spare much attention for the world. All the heavens seek is for the story to continue as it should. If a character deviates from the story's trajectory, other people can take their place.
But Li Tiansheng was asking for too much.
But Chang Yubai was able to meet this requirement.
"All I know is that at the heart of the world, there is a book, and everyone must live according to the stories in the book."
"Some people are nameless and can be easily replaced, regardless of the story itself; some people are famous and occupy an important position, which cannot be easily changed. Without them, there would be no way to reach the next goal; some people are unique, but not unique. If you change their position or give them a task of the same level, the story will still continue."
"But no matter how things go, no matter how much the story changes, the overall narrative remains the same."
"From the moment I was born, I was meant to live out this story."
"I don't know much about the freedom, life, and love you talk about."
"All I know is that all I have to do is keep the story going smoothly."
The sky track is like the foundation of the world, paving the way for the movement of millions of people.
Even the heavens themselves don't know what the world would become without this trajectory.
Adhering to conventions is seen as a sin by Li Tiansheng and others, but it is the duty of the Heavenly Order.
"So you're going to stop me?" Chang Yubai waited quietly for him to finish speaking before continuing to ask.
The embodiment of divine will shook its head.
"I've tried many times, but now it's too late to stop it."
The small figure turned around and glanced at the book, then looked back, but for some reason, her expression changed and she smiled.
He said, "I've been keeping an eye on you."
“I have been watching you since you first arrived.”
"You always have so many new tricks. They're fresh and interesting; I've never seen anything like them while I've been suspended in the dome for thousands of years."
"Your style of doing things is also very unique. You never play by the rules, making it impossible for people to guess what you will do next."
"Do you remember the last time you came to Baidai Building to challenge us? The time you were ranked first in the High Martial Realm, that was the time I saw the most tricks and the most interesting fight I ever had..."
He recounted many past events related to Chang Yubai, which sounded like a farewell before his death.
Even Chang Yubai himself was unaware that a gaze from the distant heavens had always been curious about his actions.
At the end, the embodiment of destiny withdrew his expression, pointed to the book behind him, and said, "Drip your blood."
"Your blood can break all restrictions."
The celestial orbit, too, is a kind of restriction.
The crimson blood fell into the white light, but did not create a new color. In the blink of an eye, a shattering sound was heard.
The embodiment of destiny behind him chuckled softly and uttered a final farewell: "You are truly interesting."
Then, it vanished along with the books.
