Time seemed to pass very slowly, but it was impossible to distinguish the years and months. When Fang Wei opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting in a car. The faint morning light was shining through the window, and the communicator at hand had been ringing for a long time. His ears were filled with noisy and meaningless noises in the car.
Fang Wei turned off the communicator, threw it on the back seat, got up and walked out of the car.
The air in the morning light was filled with the scent of grass leaves. Fang Wei stood still and looked at the wide road in the distance and the broken high-rise buildings further away. Finally, he put all his emotions out in silence.
The memories of Xuanqing Continent were still in his mind. Fang Wei could clearly feel the battle he had fought with the giant beast in the Abyss. After saying goodbye to everyone, he used his spiritual state to transform into a dragon and fight against it alone. He used up almost all the strength in his body before he finally used the remaining formation to mobilize all the spiritual energy in the entire Abyss.
What followed was an explosion of spiritual energy that turned the world upside down. In order to prevent the giant beast from escaping, Fang Wei trapped it with his dragon body. In the end, they were both swallowed up by that power.
No one could survive intact under such a situation, not even the giant beast. Even though Fang Wei had promised Hua Shi that he would return to them, he had actually already made up his mind to die at that time. He just didn't expect that just as his soul was about to be devoured by the power of the formation and dissipated, a ray of golden light slowly floated out from his chest and turned into a fist-sized ball of light, protecting his soul in it.
The golden ball of light actually had a magnificent aura.
It was not until then that Fang Wei understood. He didn't know whether it was because of Hua Shi's obsession or because his consciousness had lived in Hua Shi's soul for a long time, but after Hua Shi said that he would share his luck with him, a ray of luck actually came to him and protected him at the critical moment.
However, what it protected was only his soul, and his body had probably already ceased to exist in the disaster.
Fang Wei recalled what happened at that time and looked forward again. At the other end of the road was a city that had become ruins.
How did he get here?
Fang Wei stood leaning against the car door for a moment, then suddenly turned around and searched inside the car. It was clear that his mind was still in Xuanqing Continent, but he seemed to be very familiar with the scene in front of him. Not only that, even the actions he was making while searching inside the car seemed to be things he had done before.
A moment later, Fang Wei found the glasses placed in the corner as she wished.
After putting on his glasses, the data that should have been displayed on the lenses was now very confusing. Fang Wei knew that it was because the person who was supposed to pass the data to him might no longer be there. Not only that, he also knew that the prosperous city ahead had now become an empty city.
Yes, he knew all of this.
Memories gradually began to recover, and Fang Wei gradually recalled that the scene before her was a scene she had seen before, and these things were also things she had experienced.
After a thousand years in Xuanqing Continent, he almost forgot how he spent the short twenty years of his previous life.
What will he do next?
If memory serves him correctly, he went to the city within sight.
Fang Wei didn't feel like he had really returned to the past, because he could feel that although the spiritual power in his body had weakened a lot, it still existed. The constant fluctuations of spiritual power coming from all around him also made him very clear that the world he was in at the moment might not be real, but some kind of illusion like the Huiguang Pearl.
As for why he appeared here, Fang Wei guessed that if he followed the original trajectory of what happened, he might find the answer soon.
After a brief thought, Fang Wei returned to the car and skillfully steered the car towards the city ahead.
For Fang Wei, returning to this world again, seeing such tall buildings again, and touching these cold machines again seemed strange and weird to him. These things that were once so familiar to him now seemed like a lifetime ago.
He quickly entered the city along the road, and the city had indeed become a deserted place just as he expected.
Collapsed buildings can be seen everywhere on the streets, and there are vehicles around that people did not have time to drive away. People had already received the news and evacuated in advance. Only a few people were abandoned here for various reasons and became the burial objects of this city.
The road was damaged and the streets were littered with collapsed building debris. Fang Wei's car was stopped from moving forward, so he simply got out of the car and stood among the ruins to look around the area.
He remembered that this was a scene he had seen before.
So what happened next? What did he do after arriving at this ruin?
He should go to the tall tower in the center, because his mission this time is to destroy all the information in the tower to prevent the enemy from obtaining the most important intelligence.
Fang Wei was quite skilled. Although it would take some time for him to cross the crumbling ruins, it was not too difficult. He abandoned his car and walked forward. There was no living creature on the street except himself. Occasionally, he could see a few sparks flashing, which might be broken circuits or cannon sparks that had not yet burned out.
Until now, a thousand years have passed. Even if he returns to this scene, Fang Wei finds it difficult to recall his original feelings. He doesn't remember whether he was angry or numb at that time. He just walks towards his destination in silence.
Until he heard a noise coming from the broken brick wall on the road.
The sound was very light at first, and if Fang Wei had not been always alert, he would not have noticed it. He stopped because of the sound and looked around. A moment later, he came to some ruins, moved a few stones, and fished a person out of the mess.
He was a young man wearing casual clothes that were stained with blood. He seemed to be an ordinary college student. He survived in this city where almost all life had been extinct. When he was dug out, he looked a little confused, and even seemed to have no idea how the world had been turned upside down during the time he was buried.
This was not enough to surprise Fang Wei, but what he did not expect was that although this man's face was very dirty due to blood and mud, his face was indeed familiar to Fang Wei.
This person turned out to be Hua Shi.
Although there seemed some differences compared to Hua Shi from Xuanqing Continent, Fang Wei's consciousness had lived in Hua Shi's soul for a long time and he knew Hua Shi very well. Even the subtle expressions of the person in front of him were no different from those of Hua Shi from Xuanqing Continent. Fang Wei was almost certain that this person was Hua Shi, and was even more immature than the Hua Shi from Xuanqing Continent, the Hua Shi before he traveled through time.
Fang Wei thought that he would not be too surprised even if he saw anything in this illusion of the past, but now he really couldn't help but feel surprised.
He had never thought that he had actually met Hua Shi before. He seldom thought about the memories before the time travel. He never realized that there was anything wrong at the time. When a thousand years passed and he wanted to recall it again, too much time had passed. Even if he tried hard to recall it, those things had become blurred.
It was not until now that he was deeply trapped in the past that he finally gradually understood that perhaps it was not that he did not pay attention to the so-called past, but that certain rules of the Xuanqing Continent forced him to blur his memories of the past since he set foot in the Xuanqing Continent. He only remembered that he had traveled from another world, but could not remember what his original identity was, what he had done, and how he traveled through time.
It's not just herself, the same is true for Hua Shi. Ever since Hua Shi came to Xuanqing Continent, Fang Wei has always followed him, but she has never heard him mention anything about what happened before he crossed over.
If he and Hua Shi had met before they traveled through time, then the time difference between them might not be that long. It was just that he traveled to a thousand years ago, while Hua Shi traveled to a thousand years later.
So he and Hua Shi actually have such a previous relationship?
Fang Wei looked at Hua Shi who was standing in front of him, and his memories began to resurface. He remembered what happened afterwards.
He started talking with Hua Shi, whom he had just rescued, in the ruins.
Hua Shi's injuries were not serious, he was just a little weak as he had been trapped in the rubble for a long time without eating. After rescuing him, Fang Wei found food for him. Seeing him wolfing down the food and looking at her with wet eyes, she took out a few candies from her pocket, handed them to him and started talking to him in a low voice.
Perhaps out of his affection for his savior, Hua Shi had no guard against Fang Wei at all and told him almost everything about himself. Fang Wei soon found out that he was a sophomore student who had been sleeping in his room two days ago. No one knew what happened afterwards. When he woke up again, the whole city was inexplicably attacked and ended up like this. He was also buried underneath the collapsed dormitory and was trapped for a long time before he was finally rescued.
Listening to Hua Shi's words, even Fang Wei couldn't help but wonder whether Hua Shi's extremely strong luck had already existed in his previous life. Otherwise, how could he survive in such a situation and only suffer minor injuries.
Because of saving Hua Shi, Fang Wei's way to the high tower in the city did not seem so lonely. Hua Shi kept talking to Fang Wei, sometimes talking about what happened in school, sometimes about the silly things he did in his childhood, or he would ask about things related to Fang Wei, but most of them were just about preferences and habits. He never asked Fang Wei any secrets that he shouldn't ask, and followed Fang Wei obediently as if he was afraid of being abandoned.
Fang Wei once asked Hua Shi to leave on his own, but Hua Shi always refused, saying that it would be more dangerous if he went alone and that it would be safer to stay by his side.
His appearance reminded Fang Wei of Hua Shi whom he met later in Xuanqing Continent. There didn't seem to be much difference between the two.
They made their way all the way to the tower, and Fang Wei didn't need to recall what happened next.
Because just when they reached the tower, the attack suddenly came again. The entire city no longer existed in this attack, and he and Hua Shi were just two specks of dust in the city, disappearing along with the city.
Just the companionship along the way was probably the best time Fang Wei had in her last desperate struggle in her previous life.
At the moment of disaster, Fang Wei closed his eyes and woke himself up from the dream. Then the steel and war around him disappeared, everything belonging to that world faded, and the mountains, rivers, and heaven and earth of the Xuanqing Continent filled his vision again.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Fang Wei opened his eyes and sat up from the unknown stone platform with his weak body.
