Chapter 286 Misinformation?
Chapter 286
After settling Mu Xue on the floating island, she was allowed to stay behind Lin Xia, with Ji Wei accompanying her, while Lin Xia went to release her spiritual form first.
If no one had died, it would have been difficult to get through, since the world has changed drastically since the disaster.
But if they were spiritual entities, there was no problem. Lin Xia released them directly, and her spiritual power followed them. She was also very curious about where these spiritual entities were.
Following the trail all the way to the Earth's core, Lin Xia finally discovered this place that she had subconsciously overlooked.
It turns out that this place is a small world of its own, with spiritual entities arranged in order and countless formations in operation.
Those at the front of the line had completely clear and bright spiritual bodies, and looked as if they were asleep, as if they had been asleep for a very long time.
The spirits behind them were covered in black, and a beam of light shone down from somewhere, causing the black parts to slowly melt away.
The further you go, the more black parts there are, and the smaller the spiritual entity becomes.
There were also many that were completely black; it's just unknown whether they would still exist after being purified.
She looked around until she saw He Rui's mental fragments, which were surrounded by a golden mist.
It seemed to be repairing his spiritual core; Lin Xia knew that it was a gift from the world.
After watching for a while, Lin Xia left. This place was like a sophisticated factory, where everything that each person did in their lifetime was displayed in front of the array.
This place was like a meticulously designed 'underworld'. Lin Xia looked around for a while and then left. There were too many spirits waiting to be reincarnated. It seemed that they really needed to promote reproduction.
"What exactly happened?" Lin Xia went back and told Mu Xue that everything had been taken care of, and only then did Mu Xue relax.
She had calmed down by now, and the smile that always graced her face was gone, replaced by a cold indifference.
Lin Xia was somewhat dazed; Mu Xue's current appearance was very similar to the one she had seen in the void.
She had previously thought that her improved cultivation level had led her to distance herself from people and become aloof, but she never imagined that she had experienced a series of hardships.
"In fact, the disasters have never passed; they have just hidden themselves deeper and persuaded many people to help them. I really didn't expect that humans could be so resistant to their own human identity."
"Then let them die. I'll crush them and all the people in their families who know about this."
“He Rui was ambushed and injured on the ‘front line’ yesterday and is recovering today. Their sudden attack, which started from within, shows that we were not vigilant enough.”
"We were only thinking about how to develop our strength and make everyone safer, but we never expected that some people would actually defect to other races. Do they think that defecting to other races will lead to a good end?"
“He Rui was fighting on the ‘front line’ almost every day, just to make his subconscious mind safer. Who would have thought that he would be dismantled from within?”
"If it were a grand and spectacular battle, I would feel better, but to perish so silently, I just feel...suffocated."
Mu Xue, who was talking to Lin Xia, looked a little better. She hugged Lin Xia and said, "What if I went to the 'front lines' to hunt beastmen..."
"Mu Xue, don't do anything pointless. The 'Colosseum' is a mixed area where you can buy all sorts of information. Go and buy it."
"If you can't buy them, go challenge the orcs, kill them until they're terrified, and they'll send you all the information!"
Mu Xue's expression changed slightly, and she slowly nodded: "You're right. I can't become a killer, nor can I give them the opportunity to attack me."
After saying that, she looked at Lin Xia with some hope, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped. Lin Xia patted her back and said, "He Rui may recover, don't worry."
"Really?"
Seeing Lin Xia nod earnestly, Mu Xue finally revealed a faint smile and turned to go to the arena.
Lin Xia returned to her residence and sat in the courtyard, somewhat dazed.
She truly hadn't expected that every similar world is not only a way out for each other, but also... a competitor.
However, this competitive relationship is not openly discussed, nor is it a relationship where malicious competition is permissible.
The fortune of each similar world is like a circle. The rise of each world will inevitably occupy more fortune, which will indirectly squeeze the fortune of other worlds.
This is an inevitable development; it cannot be organized by human resources, but rather is a rule established from the very beginning.
However, this rule was unknown to most people, and she probably wouldn't have known it if she hadn't personally received those spiritual entities.
Moreover, this is something that can never be said out loud. She had wanted to mention it to Mu Xue, but she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.
She understood that this was both a protection for other worlds and a guarantee of basic order; if she did anything malicious to other worlds, she would immediately receive the retribution she deserved.
This might explain why the 'gods' of their world orchestrated such a grand scheme.
After thinking about it, I put the matter out of my mind. No one can stop the development of their world. If there is competition, then it is survival of the fittest.
Remembering Lin Zhuo's earlier call, Lin Xia flashed in front of him and saw him practicing the seventh form of the Body Tempering Technique. He was indeed a talented individual.
Lin Xia waited until he finished his practice, listening to him chatter on and on about his changes, nodding occasionally.
Finally, Lin Zhuo tugged at Lin Xia's sleeve: "Master, take me to fight monsters again~"
Lin Xia told his parents and left with him. After another month of wilderness survival, Lin Zhuo's combat ability improved a lot.
Lin Xia would occasionally tell him about her experiences outside, and she also took him to the 'colosseum' to watch a battle.
This helped him a lot, since those who could enter the 'colosseum' were all elites from various planets, and their battles were definitely elite-level.
After returning, Lin Xia began her [time travel] journey again.
She felt a little regretful that she hadn't seen where they had all moved to last time, and she even searched for it in her subconscious after she came back.
Whether it was because the world considered this a minor matter and therefore didn't record it, or for some other reason, she couldn't find it.
She was very curious about where they had all gone and why they had all disappeared in later generations.
Or was she just an ordinary person who didn't know?
...
This time was very different; Lin Xia appeared floating and was not noticed by anyone.
But she also couldn't control her body.
She was in a deep pit filled with burning bamboo and jade slips, and many Qin Dynasty soldiers were throwing them in.
Around them, many cultivators were bound to pillars and had their bellies cut open.
In a flash of inspiration, Lin Xia recognized the scene before him—the infamous burning of books and burying of scholars alive!
The surroundings were solemn. Lin Xia could see clearly that what was burning in the pit was not a Confucian work, but a cultivation manual!
All sorts of secret manuals were thrown into the fire.
The fire was clearly no ordinary fire; anything thrown in would turn to ashes in a maximum of 3 seconds, leaving not a trace, including the jade slip!
Lin Xia was shocked. She felt she should be shocked, after all, the "burning of books and burying of scholars" that had been passed down for thousands of years and had made Qin Shi Huang bear the infamy for thousands of years was actually wrong!
If the burning of books and burying of scholars alive is wrong, then what about the others? Are they true or just misinterpretations and misunderstandings?
