Fantasy Annual Rings
No…it hurts…is this the pain of being sacrificed?
I'm going to die? This is too much.
This was the only thought Xiao Cha had in his mind the moment before he fell into coma.
When Xiao Cha regained consciousness.
It was the long-lost system that appeared in his mind.
【Welcome host 'home——'】
At this moment, Xiao Cha felt very familiar with the cold mechanical sound.
[Loading system——]
When Xiao Cha opened his eyes, he found himself in a blank space. He was amazed at the strangeness of this space and took a step forward subconsciously.
"I traveled through time again?"
"No, according to the novel, this should be the alien space after the male protagonist binds to the system." Xiao Cha nodded to himself. The more he looked at the environment, the more it looked like this.
"Buzz—"
Soon, a little boy with a white body, four wings, and a white veil appeared out of thin air in front of Xiao Cha.
Xiao Cha looked at the boy sharply, thinking: This system still employs child labor.
[I am not a child. This is just my infant form. I am actually nine thousand years old.]
Xiao Cha licked his dry lips, moved his eyes, and tried again without saying anything.
If the system can hear my thoughts, then it can also peek at me at ordinary times.
【——】
[No, Master Host, I am not interested in humans.]
The little boy didn't understand the evilness of human beings and answered honestly.
Seeing this, Xiao Cha wiped the bloodstains of Liu Han on his body out of boredom and stopped interrupting the system's next steps.
When the system saw that Xiao Cha had quieted down, it began to report.
[Host has been detected to be on the verge of death——]
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the hero's cheat code - the 'Immortal' skill]
【Now installing——】
The skill of not dying is used by the protagonist Long Aotian in the book to unlock the adventure of falling off a cliff. It turns out that he has to be almost dead to trigger this skill.
Xiao Cha sighed and thought to himself that being the male lead wasn't easy.
After the system finished speaking, the boy's fingers were already close to Xiao Cha's shoulder, and he just patted it.
Xiao Cha only felt that his previously turbid brain was suddenly split open by golden light and became clear.
Wow, golden legend.
Even though Xiao Cha was weak at this moment, he still trembled as he complained these words in his heart.
After a long time
After the system withdrew its hand, it continued with that calm, mechanical voice, saying, "You should return, Master Host."
Xiao Cha slowed down his disordered breathing, touched his forehead in shock, looked up and smiled, "Okay."
"Little system, I'm actually looking forward to meeting you next time."
These words are spoken by humans with real emotions.
However, Xiao Cha was looking forward to what skills the system would bring to it next time, rather than the system itself.
But these systems didn't care and disappeared into space.
Then the space quickly dissipated.
Xiao Cha slipped and fell into the endless abyss.
He saw the white space above him that had not yet disappeared, and his survival instinct made him raise his hand subconsciously to grab it.
But before he could take action, his vision went dark again and he fell into coma again.
However, at this moment, the little boy appeared again from the dissipated fragments.
The little boy opened his eyes.
Under the white veil, a pair of light blue eyes showed unknown emotions.
【Host, you are still the same as before. 】
【I am very happy to meet you again.】
…………
When Xiao Cha regained consciousness, he thought he would return to the time when he was confronting Liu Han at Qinggumen.
The result was that it was transmitted into a forest.
Xiao Cha heard the sound of gurgling water and inhaled the air into his nose, which was fresh and moist.
He looked up and saw sunlight shining through the treetops, dimly shining on the mossy ground.
"Where is this?"
There was a rare blankness on Xiao Cha's face. He looked around and saw everything was completely unfamiliar.
It’s neither the Stone Village where I just arrived, nor the Hengyuan Sect. Could this still be the Qinggu Sect?
Xiao Cha lowered her head, lifted up her clothes, and looked at the bluestone path under her feet. She was walking up the mountain as if possessed by a magic weapon.
The mountain stream was clear. A few black fish swam quickly when they saw a human figure passing by. A bird perched on the treetop saw the strange boy and tilted its neck to look at him.
Xiao Cha walked slowly, not knowing how much time had passed.
When he saw a lotus pond appearing in the woods in the distance.
Xiao Cha quickly recognized where this place was, but it was a little different from what he remembered.
"Is this the Hechi Hall that hasn't been renovated yet?"
Xiao Cha frowned and observed for a few seconds before coming to this conclusion.
"Have I returned to the past? This is an illusion..."
At this moment, Xiao Cha heard heavy footsteps coming from behind, but Xiao Cha didn't have time to turn around.
The young man seemed not to notice Xiao Cha, who was only one step away from him, and passed by him by brushing his shoulder.
The young man looked into the distance, and Xiao Cha turned around and followed his gaze.
I don't know when a white-haired old man appeared and sat by the pool playing the piano.
The music from his fingertips was melodious and beautiful, but Xiao Cha felt a chill on her back.
The young man held a sword in one hand, his fingers turning white from the exertion, and in the other hand he held a two-year-old child.
He wrapped the child in his robe, and the child was sleeping soundly, biting his fingers.
The boy protected the child very well. Although half of his green robe was stained with smelly blood, the child in the boy's hands was not stained at all.
The young man approached the old man step by step.
Xiao Cha knew that this was an illusion and the people inside couldn't see him, so he openly inserted himself between the two of them and eavesdropped.
The young man threw back his clothes, knelt before the old man, and bowed, saying, "Master, I killed that witch."
The old man stopped what he was doing, opened his drooping eyelids and looked at the young man, saying slowly: "Humans and demons have different paths and destinations. You should resolve this evil fate with your own hands."
The young man kowtowed and said in a depressed tone, "Yes, Master is right."
The old man added: "But I still feel resentful."
"I dare not."
"You blame me for asking you to kill her?"
The boy shook his head and remained silent.
Seeing his apprentice's disappointing appearance, the old man closed his eyes helplessly, put away his zither, stroked his beard and said seriously: "Forget it, you can keep this baby, but I have one caveat: when the child reaches the age of three, he must be given away to someone else, free from grudges and hatred, and never set foot on the path to immortality again."
"It's better if it has nothing to do with you anymore!" The old man coughed lightly, his whole body serious.
juvenile?
At this time, Xiao Cha, who was listening to the conversation between the two, reacted
It turns out that this illusion was a reflection of something that happened more than ten years ago.
Xiao Cha hugged his arms, looked at the young man and the baby in his arms, and then looked at the old man.
It seems that this is the source of everything. The love between a human and a demon was broken up, and the demon's child was left behind, leaving a hidden danger.
However, since Liu Han is the result of the union of a demon and a human, his bones should be defective, and a demon cannot practice the skills of a regular sect.
But Xiao Cha had also seen that Liu Han's cultivation had already reached the post-Nascent Soul stage, and would soon reach the Mahayana stage.
Xiao Cha wasn't confused for long.
Maybe it was the secret technique of the demon clan on Liu Han that improved him now.
The young man Mu Chuan sighed, "I owe this child a great deal. Master wants me to let him go, but I can't do it."
The old man's anger showed after hearing this. "The Dao has thousands of methods and techniques. How can we stop moving forward just because of the lingering love between men and women?"
"Master!" Mu Chuan raised his hand and grabbed the old man's clothes, "Master, I can't let go..."
The baby in his arms was round and cute. It seemed to have sensed Mu Chuan's depressed mood. He babbled and stretched out his hands to grab a few strands of Mu Chuan's hair.
The old man snorted, but his eyes were filled with worry and annoyance, and his words became more severe, "This is a calamity! Disciple."
Xiao Cha squatted beside him, looking at the child's face and listening to their conversation, without much emotion in his heart.
It's just a pity that the Qinggu Sect, although not a big sect, can only be said to be a small local sect, was also involved because of the consequences caused by the hidden danger.
Although this was an illusion, Xiao Cha couldn't feel anything in the void in his hands. He couldn't help but pinch the child's face gently.
Xiao Cha also laughed and said: "Little Liu Han, when he was a child, he looked no different from a human baby!"
"It's a bit excessive to exterminate all monsters, but...natural selection is the law of nature, and devouring the vitality of other creatures is indeed a law."
Although Xiao Cha really disliked this rule, he had no way to change the laws of this world.
"Yeah."
Xiao Cha paused what he was doing, feeling helpless.
How come...he came here too?
