Chapter 153 Extra 3 Return to the Small World 1
In a strict sense, Jian Ziyan is the tasker, but Qin Wang is not.
The fact that he can break through the barriers of time and space with just the power of his soul makes him the biggest bug in this world.
However, ever since Qin Wang blew up the system's headquarters once, that mysterious higher-dimensional being seemed to have reached some kind of tacit agreement with Qin Wang that as long as he did not wantonly destroy the tasker's plot as before, he would no longer cause trouble for him.
After all, causing trouble for Qin Wang would be very painful, and even the system headquarters couldn't bear it.
Qin Wang had no objection to this. He broke the rules just to find Jian Ziyan in different worlds. Now that Jian Ziyan was by his side, he certainly didn't have the leisure to go out and make trouble.
After knowing this, Jian Ziyan showed some hesitation.
"Qin Wang, you can break through the barrier of time and space." He asked thoughtfully, "Then can you... go back to the worlds we have experienced before?"
Qin Wang looked over, with a look of understanding in his eyes: "Xiao Yan, do you want to go back and take a look?"
Jian Ziyan nodded with hesitation.
"I admit that when I was on a mission before, I didn't take those worlds as real. Even if I had some feelings for them, I would control them." He said, "But now when I think back, I still care about those worlds... What happened to them after I left?"
Qin Wang's eyes softened: "Then let's go back and take a look."
"That's the future you brought to them. You are qualified to go back and test your achievements."
…
Just like entering a dream, Jian Ziyan's body fell asleep, and his soul was pulled by Qin Wang into his arms. Then when his sight turned, they were already standing on a busy street.
What comes into view are tall buildings and busy traffic, people walking hurriedly, and their clothes are almost the same as in their own world.
"This is……"
"This is the world where we met." Qin Wang said gently.
He made the two of them visible, and because the time period settings were similar, they didn't even need to change their clothes.
Then a mask was put on Jian Ziyan's face.
"I don't mind, but your appearance is too similar to that in the small world, so it's better to cover it up." Qin Wang said, "This is the second year since I left, and your influence hasn't dissipated yet. It would be bad if you were recognized."
Jian Ziyan was a little dazed: "...After I died, how did you do?"
Qin Wang looked at the crowd calmly: "I left the organization with your ashes and settled them somewhere far away from the crowd. I also wanted to take care of your mother, but she didn't seem to recognize me or remember you. Now that I think about it, it must have been you who did it, right?"
"Yes." Jian Ziyan lowered his eyelashes, "Her love for my original self was too deep, and she couldn't accept the news of my death, so I erased her memory to ensure that she could live out her life."
"Your wish has come true. She did live a peaceful life." Qin Wang moved his gaze to his face. "I visited her once or twice a year. She was in good health until she died of natural causes at the age of seventy-five. As far as she could remember, she had no children or relatives, so I lied that I was her distant nephew and came to see her off and build a tomb for her. If you want to go and see it, you can."
Jian Ziyan's breathing trembled and he blinked hard to suppress the sudden surge of dampness.
"Thank you," he said sincerely, "I left and you took this responsibility for me."
Qin Wang smiled and said, "I'm never afraid of the responsibility you give me. I'm just afraid that you don't want me to take this responsibility."
Jian Ziyan didn't say anything else. He looked up at this familiar yet unfamiliar world, with many thoughts hidden in his eyes.
When he first arrived, he seemed to have everything under control, but in fact he was suppressing his fear and panic which he didn't want 419 to see. He didn't trust Xiaojiu at that time.
When writing the plot, I felt a little bit unable to let go and was afraid.
Therefore, the forgiveness value obtained in the first world was not much, and there were still many unresolved endgames left.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wang made up for his biggest regret after he left.
"What about you?" Jian Ziyan asked softly, "Did you die of old age?"
Qin Wang looked at him with his bright and deep eyes and said, "Yes, I have passed away. After I died, I arranged for someone to bury my ashes with yours."
Jian Ziyan said nothing more.
How much truth is there in Qin Wang's words about dying of old age?
But since he said so, he didn't ask any more questions.
This experience was just a casual act for him, but for Qin Wang at that time, it was a real separation of life and death. The scar that had already healed should not be opened by him with his own hands.
Jian Ziyan wanted to see more of the world, so the two of them got on a bus to the countryside.
He clenched his palm and a mobile phone appeared in his hand. He browsed the Internet of this world.
Just as Qin Wang said, even though the discussion about Mr. Poxiao on the Internet has faded, it has never disappeared. Just a quick glance and you will see a hot search topic saying "Reservations for Mr. Poxiao's tomb-sweeping spots this year are now open."
Jian Ziyan paused.
Qin Wang was indeed lying to him. It was said on the Internet that Mr. Poxiao had been dead for fifteen years. When he left, Lan Chunhua was sixty years old, and it was exactly fifteen years when Lan Chunhua died.
The soul named Chi Zhou clearly left after seeing off Lan Chunhua.
Qin Wang turned his head to take a look, without commenting on the exposed lie. He said calmly, "The grave they arranged for you was empty, so I secretly stole your ashes."
Jian Ziyan curled the corner of his mouth.
He continued to look through various news to find out the developments after the Weng Jianbai case.
Just as he thought, after eradicating this deep-rooted cancer, there have been no such powerful criminals in this world for a long time. Even if there are, they can't reach the level of the original plot manipulation and can be suppressed by the abilities of the people in this world themselves.
Mr. Dawn's sacrifice has brought about the prosperity that exists today.
Jian Ziyan read a few more messages, and after getting a general understanding, he put away the phone and looked out the window.
The bus arrived at the station, and the two walked along the path that smelled of soil and grass, and came to an independent small building.
"This is where my aunt lived when she was alive." Qin Wang said, "After she passed away, the building was temporarily sealed. According to the laws of this world, if there are no descendants of hers who inherit it after a hundred years, it will be owned by the government."
Jian Ziyan looked up at the building, quietly watched for a while, then turned to look at Qin Wang: "Where is Mom's grave?"
Qin Wang took him to the back, and in front of Lan Chunhua's favorite farmland stood her tombstone.
Jian Ziyan walked over, gently touched the tombstone with his fingertips, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it.
"Mom, I'm here to see you." He whispered, "I'm sorry that I didn't see you off."
Qin Wang put his arm around his shoulders and held them tightly.
"I'm fine." Jian Ziyan turned back calmly, "Mom is fine here. She no longer has worries and fears in her later memories. That's enough."
He took out some fresh fruits and placed them in front of the tombstone. The two of them bowed together, and then they shared the fruits.
In this world, the person who offers the offerings needs to be responsible for eating the offerings, so that the person being worshipped can feel at ease.
Finally, Jian Ziyan touched Lan Chunhua's name on the tombstone reluctantly.
This was the first person in his life who gave him maternal love.
"Let's go to the next world."
…
When the vision became clear again, the two were standing in the middle of a field of gorgeously blooming Poinciana flowers.
Jian Ziyan was stunned, and Qin Wang was also stunned.
The two of them looked at the lush and green poinciana flowers all over the mountains and fields of this planet and showed completely different expressions.
Jian Ziyan wanted to sigh that these flowers were actually growing so vigorously, and that the soil and water on this planet were really good. Qin Wang's face became a little solemn, as if he was recalling the sadness in his heart before he resolutely flew towards the exploding nebula.
Today, the explosion nebula is still shining above the planet, brilliant and grand. No one could have imagined that the two people buried in it are now standing under it again.
Jian Ziyan looked up and said, "When I perished together with the insect mother, I never thought it would bloom so beautifully."
His tone was like looking at a gorgeous flower that he had cultivated with his own hands.
"You were beautiful and cruel, just like you." Qin Wang said, "You took our child to die in front of me, and I tried my best but couldn't stop you... Even now, that scene is still my nightmare."
"I'm sorry." Jian Ziyan took the initiative to hug him, "I won't do this again in the future."
Qin Wang held him tightly, buried his head in his hair and took a deep breath before he suppressed the violence and fear that suddenly surged in his heart.
This world has an anti-camouflage detection system. Jian Ziyan simply used magic to change his appearance, then located the position of the Emperor Star and teleported there directly.
By checking the star network, they found that this world was also shortly after Si Wang passed away.
Even... the empire is in mourning.
The two stood in the crowd that was seeing the emperor off, their eyes falling on the young figure standing in the front.
"Is that the heir you chose?"
"That's right." Qin Wang whispered back, "His name is He Ling. I have taught him everything I should have taught him. Before I left for the exploding nebula, I announced to the world that I would pass the throne to him. As for whether he can keep this position and this empire, it depends on him."
There was a coldness in his voice, like an eagle pushing its young eagle off a cliff, leaving it to either fly high or be smashed to pieces.
Jian Ziyan carefully looked at the boy's sad and resolute face, and said with a smile: "It seems that what you are worried about is unlikely to happen."
Qin Wang did not comment.
Jian Ziyan looked away an inch and his smile faded.
Wearing white
Bai Mingxi, who was still in his youthful appearance, was standing beside him. There was no sadness or joy on his beautiful face. He just stared at the coffin representing Qin Wang with a complicated look.
"After not seeing you for such a long time, Mingxi has become very capable." Jian Ziyan said softly.
"He is already the best level five mental healer in the entire galaxy." Qin Wang held his hand. "He is your apprentice, so it is not a disgrace to you."
Jian Ziyan stared at Bai Mingxi's face for a moment again.
At this time, He Ling was personally delivering the eulogy for Si Wang.
"…It was this great emperor and Marshal Jian who bravely died in his early years who dared to open a precedent and explore a brand new path for the empire. Let us bless them with gratitude and sorrow. From now on, we will continue to follow the footsteps of the giants and seek more benefits for the empire and the people."
Jian Ziyan didn't expect that he could still hear himself here.
"Although you left early, you are much more well-known than me." Qin Wang chuckled, "People may not know the name of Emperor Si Wang, but the name of Marshal Jian Ziyan is well-known to everyone in the empire."
Jian Ziyan sighed.
Killing the Worm Queen means killing the greatest threat to the world. Marshal Jian's achievements will go down in history and will never be forgotten.
Although he didn't think so much about it when doing it, Jian Ziyan had to admit that it was not surprising that he could receive such treatment.
He activated these small worlds and experienced them. After he left, these small worlds continued to develop according to the logic that had been activated. This made him experience the reality of these small worlds for the first time.
When he stepped into these places again, his state of mind was different.
At this time, the crowd entered a moment of silence, and he also lowered his head, silently savoring the complex emotions of this moment.
The memorial service continued and no one noticed that two people suddenly disappeared from the dense crowd.
At the same time, Bai Mingxi, who was standing on the stage, suddenly turned his head and looked at the place where the two of them had just stood, revealing a somewhat confused and thoughtful expression.
…
The two landed again, but under the towering imperial city.
As soon as Qin Wang raised his hand, their clothes immediately changed into the style of the times.
Jian Ziyan looked around and asked, "What period is this place?"
For some reason, there were many common people crowding in front of the palace today. In Jian Ziyan's memory, such a grand occasion would only occur in Dajing during certain festivals when the royal family distributed gifts.
When he looked up, he saw a man dressed in prime minister's clothes, riding a tall horse, standing in front of the imperial city with a sad and serious face. Behind him were the court officials with equally solemn expressions.
Jian Ziyan looked at him and smiled.
That was Shangguan Lin. He did not disappoint his expectations. Although he was only thirty years old, he had already become the right prime minister of Dajing.
Before Qin Wang could answer the question he had just asked, the voices of children around them came into their ears.
"Can we really see the remains of the great general returning to the court today?"
The child's mother looked a little sad and wiped her eyes: "Yes, child, General Gu is coming home today."
Jian Ziyan was stunned, and his smile suddenly disappeared.
Qin Wang was also stunned for a moment, with a sigh in his eyes.
Jian Ziyan opened his mouth and gently asked the person next to him: "Excuse me, brother, is today the day for General Gu...Wenshan to return to the court?"
When he uttered the name again, his voice was noticeably dry.
The man being asked gave him a strange look, as if wondering why he was standing there without even knowing the truth, but he answered him anyway.
"Yes, General Gu died on horseback his entire life. I didn't expect that he would die with only a horse to accompany him... I heard that he killed 3,000 enemy bandits all by himself, but in the end he didn't get any reinforcements." The man said, "When General Gu's subordinates found him, he had several arrows in his body and his eyes were wide open. He died standing up. He was truly a hero."
Consultant Shan died standing under the siege of three thousand enemies, and Jian Ziyan sorted out his thoughts in a daze.
He stopped talking, and Qin Wang didn't talk either. The two of them looked into the distance in silence.
That is the road where the corpses return home.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard.
