Standing in the temple's library, looking at the towering structure that seemed to stretch to the horizon, Bai Xi finally felt satisfied.
"These magic circles you built are for preserving your body..."
During this time, Ulysses stayed by Baixi's side and felt that her behavior was becoming increasingly strange. It was an indescribable feeling, as if... she was about to die, which made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
But on the surface, he showed no sign of anything unusual, only occasionally asking some probing questions.
"Um."
Bai Xi nodded without explaining; she...would not choose to return using magic.
Loy stood beside her, looking at Bai Xi with a complicated expression, but said nothing.
Actually, some time ago, Bai Xi had planned to arrange everything and use magic to return to the future, but later her body underwent some changes, which caused her to change her decision. Although Luo Yi also felt heartbroken, he could only support her choice.
After all, this means that Bai Xi will walk alone in this era of loss, waiting countless years before she can wake up again and see familiar people and things once more. Perhaps by then, she will already be...
In short, Luo Yi genuinely felt sorry for Bai Xi.
There was nothing Chloe could do. Whenever Baixi made the decision to return, her body would begin to show signs of collapse, as if time and space no longer supported her existence.
Adding to what Duruso said before leaving, Bai Xi finally understood what she was about to face.
Since her body is present in this temple, it means that at this point in time, she has chosen to fall into a deep sleep rather than return through magic.
As for what Durousso meant.
She used to be ambivalent about this, but now she understands it completely.
All the power she currently possesses is without origin or source. It is neither obtained through cultivation advancement nor inherited from the power of a certain god. It relies on the cumulative effect brought about by reincarnation, which means that it is essentially an ethereal existence.
But in her fight against Tartarus, she remained unrepentant, wanting to use this power that shouldn't exist to eliminate the threat to the abyss.
so.....
One day in the future, all of this will collapse, and she will pay a heavy price for exploiting the loophole.
Without a doubt, Bai Xi already knew her end through the prophecy: that she would be completely erased, her influence on the world being completely eliminated.
However, it is currently unknown whether the executor of the final 'command' to erase her is the world consciousness she knows well, or something else entirely.
There are likely other regulators in this world. Otherwise, when they discovered that she intended to do something that was practically a bug, the world's consciousness should have already eliminated her, instead of trying to manipulate her as it is now.
The idea that the world's consciousness wants to manipulate a bugged entity, or one that's crawling with viruses and Trojans and about to explode, sounds incredibly bizarre.
In that instant, Bai Xi felt relieved and relaxed. She no longer needed to worry about whether she could survive, since she was going to die anyway. She didn't need to be too concerned about fighting against the world's consciousness. All she needed to do was feel good and have some fun.
Anyway, this body is bound to 'explode' sooner or later, and when that happens, either she or the world's consciousness will bear the consequences.
So why not just pass this hot potato to her beforehand?
Bai Xi also felt it was very strange. She was such a person who was afraid of death, but now she felt relaxed because she knew that she would not survive. It seems that she has really changed.
Ulysses looked at Bai Xi's indifferent and unresponsive attitude, and even though he was usually very calm, he couldn't help but ask.
Even though he originally intended not to interfere with any of Bai Xi's decisions, he still hoped to get an answer.
Will you die?
He asked.
"No, I won't die. We'll meet again."
Bai Xi suddenly smiled, her beauty breathtaking in an instant, like a trapped soul being released from its body, or like a blooming epiphyllum. Although her beauty lasted only a moment, it was enough to make everyone stop and stare.
"Yes, is that so...."
Ulysses was also captivated by the charm emanating from Bai Xi, and all his effortless skills vanished in that instant. Pure emotion is often more moving, and he was touched once again.
He clearly knew what kind of person Bai Xi was—a cold-hearted savior—yet he sank even deeper, like a drowning person who, the more he struggled, the deeper he sank, losing the strength to call for help. Moreover... he never thought of escaping; he only wanted to sink to the bottom of the sea.
"Yes, I won't lie to you."
Bai Xi closed her eyes, and scenes flashed before her eyes, scenes she had never seen before.
For some reason, perhaps due to the excessive cycles of reincarnation and karma imposed upon her, she has recently begun to experience hallucinations, with many images flashing before her eyes, representing eras she has never lived through.
At first, Bai Xi thought it was a hallucination caused by her nerves being too tense, but now she has more or less figured out some patterns.
These images are from the future, divided into two timelines and two possibilities.
On one hand, she failed to eliminate Tartarus, and its influence began to spread widely, eventually engulfing the entire continent of Coral and turning it into nothingness. Only a small number of non-living creatures were able to survive briefly in this void, and Tartarus's true form was nowhere to be found.
Later, even non-living beings began to find the world too boring, with no fun in the void, and began to perish one after another. In the end, everything fell silent, and no sound came out of the void.
Until a ray of light appeared again in the void, the world was born again, and the cycle of reincarnation began anew.
Another one... is that she successfully destroyed Tartarus, but because of the flaw in her body, after she dealt with Tartarus, her whole body began to disintegrate. Before she even fell back to the ground, her body began to turn into fragments and dissipate.
Then her entire existence was erased.
All traces of her existence have vanished, including other people's memories of her, her past life, every area she walked through, and even her footprints.
No one remembers who she is anymore.
It was as if she had never existed in this world.
The world consciousness will correct all the trajectories. Anything she has done will be erased without exception, and any effects that cannot be eliminated will be modified and transferred to other beings.
It's probably that what she did was real, but no one remembers it anymore.
