Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Later, the illusion was shattered, and the great...
Later, the illusion was shattered and everyone woke up. Their short life in the illusion left them with some insignificant memories.
Although it may be painful, difficult, or exciting, and may leave a deep impression on them, for them, their long-term residence is ultimately a paradise rather than an illusion.
So after coming out, they don’t remember much about what happened in there, nor do they care much about what happened in there. Some angels just pretend that nothing happened, and some angels occasionally remember it, but that’s all.
There are some things I remember more vividly, but I only think about them a few times when it’s late at night and everyone is asleep. I don’t explain them to others specifically, nor do I mention them.
Joshua suddenly recalled something that happened so long ago. It was only for a moment, as he looked at the bright sky, that he remembered the palace he had stayed in, which was like a golden cage, sparkling with jewels.
Bai Tianming watched him, seeing the reminiscence on his face. He raised an eyebrow, guessing what he was thinking, and said with a polite smile, "Then you lead the way."
Joshua turned and walked in front, Bai Tianming followed him, and the other divers looked at each other and followed quietly, like a group of hyenas on the grassland.
Bai Tianming looked at Joshua and asked tentatively, "What are you thinking about?"
Joshua seemed to have suddenly woken up from a dream and said in a panic, "Something about the soul."
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Bai Tianming thought for a moment. He had discussed the matter of the soul in the palace before, so he couldn't tell whether Joshua wanted to live in the palace or not. So he asked tentatively, "What's wrong with the soul?"
“Nothing,” Joshua shook his head and was silent for a while. He thought it was better to explain clearly, and explained hesitantly: “I just remembered some things in the illusion. Although it happened a long time ago, when I think about it, it seems like it happened yesterday.
I vaguely remember that at that time, I prayed to God and Buddha, hoping to be liberated, or something to show me a way forward, as long as it was a way.
As long as there's a path, I don't have to dwell on the things that cause me pain. I just have to keep going. I can find companions, guides, and subordinates. These things bring me much more joy than being immersed in sadness every day.
Bai Tianming nodded.
Joshua looked dazed. He turned away and gradually walked towards the brighter sky. His face was blurred at the intersection of light and darkness. His voice drifted over like a colorful piece of bait floating in a cold pond in the fog. He continued, "But now I suddenly feel that there seems to be some hidden danger in this matter."
"What hidden danger?" Bai Tianming asked subconsciously.
Joshua gave a wry smile, confusion creeping across his face like a spider. He frowned slightly, like a helmsman lost at sea. "I can't quite remember how many requests I made, but it was probably quite a few. Some of them came true in that illusion, but some didn't. What do you think..."
He was silent for a while, as if thinking whether speaking out would bring bad luck to Bai Tianming. But he also felt that Bai Tianming was so strong that it would probably be fine. But he suddenly felt a little scared and stopped talking.
Bai Tianming nodded slightly, understanding what he meant. "Those gods whose promises haven't come true might come looking for you, but since it's been so long and they haven't come, they might have forgotten about you or have other things to do and can't take care of you. Don't worry too much, even if they do come, you still have me."
Joshua slowly turned his head and looked at Bai Tianming like a slow-witted puppet. His eyes were extremely confused and empty, as if with the sudden memory, he was dragged back to that extremely bad time. He stared at Bai Tianming, as if judging whether Bai Tianming's words were true or false.
They gradually walked to a bright place. The bright light from the sky fell into his eyes, and his eyes lit up little by little, a light of hope, and he suddenly smiled.
"Okay." He nodded, looked away, and felt relieved.
They stopped in the bright garden, the bright garden that had not been destroyed.
Bai Tianming looked at the deep divers who had followed him all the way. No matter how stupid the deep divers were, they knew that they had recognized the wrong person. But now that they were not attacked and seemed to be immortal, they gave them some courage.
They looked at each other, and Gideon tentatively stepped out of the Deep Diver and cautiously asked Bai Tianming, "Can we go now?"
"Of course you can," Bai Tianming glanced at them and said with a half-smile, "but I plan to go with you guys. Do you mind?"
He frowned, sighed deeply, and said regretfully, "I didn't treat you well when you came. Now that you're leaving, wouldn't it be a shame if I don't give you a good farewell?"
The deep divers looked at each other, not knowing what to think, but they didn't have the right to refuse now, so they nodded. No matter what Bai Tianming would do after he left, they would not die now. In this case, they could not care less and smiled at Bai Tianming, "We don't mind!"
Bai Tianming nodded and opened a door. Opposite him was the deep sea. The water was surging and pitch black, without a trace of light. It looked very scary.
But for the deep divers, the other side was definitely the way home. They were excited for a moment, happy and excited about the breath of hometown they felt. They were even a little excited and almost forgot that they were still in a dangerous place and had not really left.
Perhaps Bai Tianming was too gentle with them. They just felt that this place was very dangerous, but their bodies' reactions were slow, as if they were running on the road and always hitting speed bumps.
After they were happy, they realized that they shouldn't be so happy, so they quickly restrained their expressions and lowered their heads, like a group of quails soaked in water, carefully observing Bai Tianming's expression.
Bai Tianming made a gesture of invitation to them, smiled slightly, and stood at the door: "Let's go back?"
The Deep Divers nodded and rushed in. Seeing that there were already half of them left in the garden, Bai Tianming prepared to go in. Before leaving, he said hello to Joshua standing next to him: "If others ask, you cover up for me. I'll be back in a couple of days. No need to make a big fuss."
Joshua nodded slowly, then stood at the door and asked, "Can't I go with you?"
Bai Tianming laughed. "You'd better not go with me. The lab still needs you, right? Besides, if you go with me, they'll realize I'm not here and won't be able to find you. They'll think something has happened. What will we do then?"
Although they were sure that Bai Tianming would not be harmed, his sudden disappearance was not necessarily a small matter, and Bai Tianming did not want them to worry about it.
Joshua nodded: "I understand, go ahead."
Bai Tianming smiled at him and waved: "I will be back soon!"
Joshua looked at Bai Tianming and nodded. Bai Tianming entered the door, and the door closed. Bai Tianming entered the deep sea, which was pitch black.
It was unknown where the divers who had entered the deep sea before had gone to at this time. In short, there was no trace of them nearby. Bai Tianming looked around and took out the wrapped Saul from his pocket.
Saul felt that he was near the deep sea and was equally excited, but because he was controlled by Bai Tianming, he could not move and felt very annoyed and frustrated.
Bai Tianming took Saul out of the package, spread him out in his hands, cast a spell on him, and threw him out. The chubby Saul was urged by the spell to turn around in the air, find a direction, and fly over.
He didn't know where he was going at first, but after flying for a while, he suddenly felt that the road was becoming more and more familiar, and immediately remembered that he was flying towards Cthulhu's lair.
He gasped and tried desperately to resist the push brought by the spell, but he was helpless because the magic of the spell was much stronger than his own strength.
He had no room to resist at all.
He felt helpless, with a face that showed no expression at all, crying and making sobbing sounds in his throat. He cried and complained at the same time, which was like warming up for his own funeral in advance.
Bai Tianming followed Saul leisurely, and soon arrived at Cthulhu's lair.
This is a huge city, and the huge body of Cthulhu is hovering above the city, like a heavy dark cloud pressing on the buildings.
The buildings made a creaking sound, spider-web-like cracks gradually spread across their surface, and tiny bubbles emerged in the water, as if the cries were also hidden in the bubbles. There was no way to call for help, and there was nothing to do, and in the end all they could do was endure.
Saul floated in front of Cthulhu. Cthulhu slowly opened one eye and just glanced at Saul. Saul, who was originally just a round, hard bead, exploded with a bang, like a crushed candy, turning into colorful residue, floating in the sea, and quickly disappeared.
Bai Tianming took two steps forward, stopped, and appeared in Cthulhu's sight.
Cthulhu opened more eyes to check his condition, then uttered a strange, sharp, muffled laugh, full of mockery or contempt, and said in a thunderous voice: "You ant-like thing, dare to show off in front of me? Do you think that if you can beat Csira, you can beat me?
You obediently let the Deep Ones destroy your garden. I can forgive you for torturing Ksira in the past, but you actually let them lead the way and appear before me. You are so audacious! So audacious!
The sound came like a tide, wave after wave, rushing into Bai Tianming's ears, as if a thousand whistles were screaming.
