Chang Le realized something, looked down, and saw that she had changed from Fu Jiu's appearance to her own. No wonder Ying Shaochuan called her that.
She cautiously looked around and realized that this was not a normal space. The surrounding scenery stretched as far as the eye could see, and the sea of flowers and green waves were so lush that they seemed somewhat unreal.
Of course, the Ying Shaochuan in front of us is even more fake.
"Did you bring me here? Are you real now, or just an image?" Chang Le asked bluntly.
Ying Shaochuan's smile faltered slightly. He lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before speaking: "It was I who sensed your aura and brought you here. I am not an image, but a real being, and also a part of Him."
"Pluto?"
Ying Shaochuan nodded: "That's a fair way to address Him; it's the new name He gave Himself."
What was his original name?
Ying Shaochuan slowly said, "He said, its name is Shadow of Calamity."
Chang Le had no recollection of the name: "He's from another world?"
"It seems so. His methods are beyond our comprehension and explanation. In a sense, in this form, He is invincible. No one can stop the spread of calamity."
As Ying Shaochuan spoke, his gaze fell sadly upon the sea of flowers.
Chang Le reached out and touched it, but the petal turned into dust and vanished the moment it touched her palm. She quickly closed her fingers: "So, this is why you pulled me in here?"
"Tell me that He is incomparable, is it to make me submit and accept my fate, or to make me rise up in rebellion?"
Ying Shaochuan's breath hitched, and the surrounding scenery flickered like a television screen with a poor signal.
“Jiu Le,” Ying Shaochuan looked up, his eyes brimming with tears and his face filled with panic, “I’m in so much pain, I don’t want to become a monster!”
His hands trembled like a frightened animal as he bent over and covered his face, his fingernails scratching his face in frustration, drawing blood.
"I died, I know I'm dead! But I heard his voice, and I wanted to go back to see my parents, so I responded, and then... and then came hell! I became a monster!"
My body is no longer human; I've become incredibly strange, yet I can't control these changes! I ran deep into the no-man's-land, and I ate mutants! I also ate...people! I ate so many...people...
But I just want to live. I never thought about inheriting the Ying family. I just wanted my parents to have a good life. I don't want to die... No, please, let me be free. I don't want to become a monster! Don't, don't let Him... become a monster completely...
But I ate people, hahaha…
Ying Shaochuan was both crying and laughing; his emotions had completely collapsed.
Chang Le walked over, her voice calm: "I will not abandon this world, so let's make a deal."
"I...I don't know," Ying Shaochuan rambled on for a while, causing chaos in the surrounding sea of flowers, with countless blossoms turning into dust and scattering everywhere.
Chang Le looked down at him, her eyes filled with pity and sympathy.
She sighed softly and squatted down: "I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to relieve suffering, but perhaps I can bring you peace."
Ying Shaochuan regained some of his rationality. He breathed heavily for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Chang Le's sleeve, gripping it very tightly. His voice trembled but he was very clear-headed:
"Jiu Le, please help me, I know His weakness."
The surrounding scenery suddenly distorted violently, and Chang Le immediately leaned in and listened: "Speak."
Ying Shaochuan whispered in his ear.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a gust of wind suddenly swept in, shattering the surrounding sea of flowers, and Chang Le was thrown out.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the mountain valley. The black mist in front of me had begun to spread, and the unstable energy was jumping and surging.
The alarm blared, and Chang Le acted decisively, swinging out his tentacles to pull the three people who had also been thrown out. Energy surged, and they instantly disappeared from their original positions.
Countless fine threads followed closely, piercing the ground and mountains as they brushed past the vanished figure, before finally disappearing back into the mist.
The dark fog swelled and bulged repeatedly as if in anger, and the small world of consciousness within it was no longer the beautiful scene of flowers and green tides, but a completely dilapidated sight.
Ying Shaochuan stood in the withered sea of flowers, opposite him stood another figure completely gray, who was the Shadow of Calamity, also known as the King of the Underworld.
"Why did you betray me? You hate betrayal the most!" Hades' expression was grim, his killing intent palpable.
"You and your family died because of the betrayal of your own people. I saved you! Why did you betray me? You said we were friends!"
Overwhelmed by the immense pressure, Ying Shaochuan gasped for breath and said, "But you made a mistake. You lied to me first. You said you were giving me and yourself a chance to start over, but now you've turned it into using me to create disaster and satisfy your own selfish desires."
Hades glared at him: "I have already given you a lifespan longer than that of an ordinary human, and achieved your goal! Now it's my turn, and you not only do not support me but also betray me, and now you blame me?"
Ying Shaochuan stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "But you've always told me you're going to save the world! You lied to me!"
Hades, with utmost calmness and an unassuming tone, retorted: "To save a corrupt world, one should first destroy it before creating an ideal kingdom."
Ying Shaochuan found it amusing: "There are so many people in this world who strive to survive and find a way to survive. What gives you the right to define this world with your so-called 'decay'?"
You don't even understand humans, so what makes you think you can create a new, supreme order in the human world?
It's not this world that's decaying, it's you! I clearly saw you in my dreams, and you weren't like this back then..."
