On the way home, Ah Fei deliberately walked in front of Li Xiu. Tears were welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. Only she knew how difficult it was for Li Xiu to still be able to run on the court.
She has been taking care of Li Xiu over the years, watching him lose control of himself day by day.
The guy who used to be able to kick all kinds of balls at will, as if he could perform magic with his feet, would probably find it difficult to throw the ball in now, let alone using his feet, even with his hands.
Li Xiu's control over his body has been getting worse over the years, especially in the past two years. He has almost lost the ability to use chopsticks to eat. His hands shake so badly that even if he can pick up food, he often can't put it into his mouth.
The man who was once invincible in the world is now unable to take care of himself. Although Li Xiu has always been optimistic, she still feels sad when she sees Li Xiu fall down on the court again and again and kick the ball away.
"A Fei, the sunset here is beautiful. Let's wait here until the sun goes down before going back." Li Xiu sat down on the river bank, looking at the sunset that burned half the sky red and the river water that looked like red fish scales. He raised his face and enjoyed the feeling of the autumn breeze caressing his cheeks.
"Would you like some water?" The bandit took out a kettle, poured a glass of water and handed it to Li Xiu's mouth.
Li Xiu lowered his head and took a sip of water, then said with a smile, "Why should I be sad on such a happy day?"
"I didn't." The bandit turned his head and wiped his eyes, then turned around and said coldly.
"I have admired the original scenery of the universe and scribbled on it. This is the punishment I deserve." Li Xiu narrowed his eyes, looked at the sunset and said, "Except for not being able to see my sister again, there is nothing to regret in my life."
"Sister will come back." Ah Fei said firmly.
"Of course, she will come back, but if my condition gets worse, I'm afraid I won't even remember what my sister looks like." Li Xiu looked at the red clouds in the sky and said with a smile, "Fortunately, my sister will definitely remember me."
"Of course." The bandit nodded.
The two of them sat on the river bank, chatting idly until the sun had completely set and the moon cast its snow-like moonlight, then they got up and walked back to the old house in the moonlight.
When the two returned to the door of the old house, Li Xiu reached out to push the door, and suddenly heard Ah Fei say behind him: "Let's get married."
Li Xiu was slightly startled, turned his head to look at Ah Fei, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, I am not suitable to be a groom in my current state."
"Whether it's suitable or not is up to me." Ah Fei didn't allow Li Xiu to refuse. He directly took his hand, pushed open the door of the old house, took Li Xiu to sit at the stone table in the yard, then went into the room himself. Not long after, he came out with some things.
"What is this for?" Li Xiu looked at Ah Fei with a strange expression as he put two cups and a bottle of wine on the table.
The bandit ignored him, opened the bottle, filled both glasses with wine, then picked up one glass himself and drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down the cup, Ah Fei picked up another glass of wine and held it in front of Li Xiu: "Drink this glass of wine, and you will be mine from now on."
"Hey, I don't think I've agreed yet?" Li Xiu said depressedly.
"Really?" The bandit suddenly reached out and pinched Li Xiu's nose, and when Li Xiu opened his mouth, he poured the glass of wine directly into his mouth.
"Look, now you agree, you are mine now." Ah Fei put down his wine glass and said with a smile.
"You are robbing a man." Li Xiu said speechlessly.
"I robbed it, so what?" The bandit said, and took out a red silk scarf from somewhere and covered his head with it: "If you admit it, then lift the scarf. If you don't admit it, don't blame me for doing it myself."
"Why do we need to do this?" Li Xiu sighed.
"I don't want to leave any regrets in my short life. I may not want you in the future, but I must have you. Only I can not want you, you can not want me." Ah Fei said calmly.
Li Xiu looked at Ah Fei with a complicated expression, and after a while he said seriously: "You... don't regret it..."
"If you regret it, I'll kick you." said the bandit.
"Then it's a deal." Li Xiu slowly raised his trembling hand and reached for a corner of the red veil.
I don't know if it's because Li Xiu's condition has gotten worse or because he's too excited, but his hands are shaking even more violently.
The bandit lowered his head and his body seemed to be trembling slightly.
Just as Li Xiu's hand was about to touch the corner of the red scarf, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the door: "You want to enter my house, have you asked me? I haven't agreed yet."
When Li Xiu and A Fei heard the voice, they both looked at the door in surprise, but they did not see the figure they imagined.
I saw a little girl of five or six years old, wearing a very neutral pink women's suit, a white shirt and white sneakers, a tie around her neck, and a big pair of sunglasses on her face. She was obviously still a child, but she was dressed like a female boss, with the style of a big sister. The contrast was so cute that even Li Xiu and A Fei, who didn't know her at all, couldn't be angry with her.
Although the big sunglasses covered half of the little girl's face, just from the exposed part, one could tell that she must be an extremely cute and beautiful girl.
"Little sister, what's your name?" The bandit squatted down and asked the little girl gently.
"You should call me sister." The little girl said seriously.
A Fei and Li Xiu were both a little amused, but they didn't expect her to get angry. The little girl was really too cute.
"Do you want to marry him?" the little girl pointed at Li Xiu and asked the Fei.
"Yes." The bandit nodded in response.
"I like her because she is not pretentious or artificial. I like her character. I agree to this marriage." The little girl said seriously.
Li Xiu and A Fei both smiled. They didn't know where this little girl came from. Although she was weird, she was not annoying at all. She was just cute and adorable.
"Thank you." The bandit said with a smile.
"You have to call me sister from now on." The little girl corrected Ah Fei again, then looked at Li Xiu and said, "Are you hurt?"
"Little girl, how do you know I was injured?" Li Xiu asked the little girl with some confusion.
"Of course I can see it since I have eyes. Also, you are such an impolite person. Can't you even call me sister? You are not cute at all." The little girl said with a pout.
"Why should I call you sister? You are so young." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Aren't you Li Xiu?" the little girl asked with a smile.
"I am Li Xiu." Li Xiu said.
"That's right, you are Xiao Xiu Xiu, which means you are my younger brother, so of course you have to call me sister." The little girl said cunningly.
"What's the logic here? Just because my name is Li Xiu, why should I be your brother?" Li Xiu was a little amused.
"You are Ling'er's younger brother, and I am Ling'er's sister. If you don't treat me as your younger brother, do you want to be my brother?" the little girl said with a smile.
"You...which Ling'er are you talking about..." Li Xiu stared at the little girl in disbelief.
"Besides Han Ling'er, do you have other sisters named Ling'er?" the little girl asked, tilting her head.
"You..." Li Xiu stared at the little girl in amazement and was speechless for a moment.
He really hoped that the little girl was telling the truth, but how could such a little girl, who looked only five or six years old, be Han Linger's sister?
"Don't you believe that I'm Ling'er's sister?" The little girl seemed to see through Li Xiu's thoughts and asked with a sly blink of her eyes.
"It's really hard to believe at your age." Li Xiu said as he looked at the little girl.
"If Ling'er didn't treat you like a treasure, I wouldn't bother to recognize a blockhead like you as my brother. One blockhead is enough in the family, and now there's one more. It's really a headache." The little girl's pretending to be an adult is so adorable that it's hard to get angry at her.
"You don't know me, but you should know this thing. Ling'er said she gave you one." The little girl reached into her pocket, took something out and threw it to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu reached out to catch it, but missed, and saw a gold coin fell to the ground.
"You...you are really my sister's sister..." Li Xiu looked at the gold coins on the ground clearly, and his expression became surprised and happy. They suddenly were exactly the same as the ones Han Linger gave him, there was no way they could be wrong.
Although it was hard to believe that this little girl who looked only five or six years old was actually Han Linger's sister, there was no doubt that the gold coin was correct. It would probably be impossible to find the same thing in the world except among people from her sister's lineage.
"It seems that you are really seriously injured. Let me see." The little girl walked up to Li Xiu, motioned Li Xiu to squat down, and then pressed her tender little white hand on Li Xiu's forehead.
A golden light appeared on the little hand, and the golden light seeped into Li Xiu's forehead, making Li Xiu feel that his head, which had been buzzing all the time, suddenly became much clearer, and the irritating buzzing sound gradually disappeared.
Li Xiu felt that his damaged spiritual consciousness was actually being repaired, and he was surprised and happy.
Ah Fei was also overjoyed when he saw that Li Xiu's muscles, which occasionally trembled uncontrollably, stopped shaking.
After a while, the little girl withdrew her hand from Li Xiu's forehead, looked at him solemnly and said, "Your spiritual consciousness is stronger than Ling'er said. It is incredibly strong. There are some traces of Ling'er's super divine body, but they are not exactly the same. Your spiritual consciousness is too strong and the injury is too severe. I can only temporarily relieve it. I don't have the ability to completely repair your damaged spiritual consciousness."
"That's already very good. Are you really Sister Ling'er's sister?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"What else?" The little girl said with a smile: "My name is Baoer, you can call me Sister Baoer."
"Sister Baoer, is there really no way to restore his spiritual consciousness?" Ah Fei asked hurriedly. She didn't care whether Sister Baoer was really Han Linger's sister. If she could restore Li Xiu's spiritual consciousness, she would be willing to call her mother.
"I only said that I don't have the ability to repair it, not that it can't be repaired." Baoer picked up the gold coins on the ground and said, "Let's go, I'll take you home. This kind of troublesome matter can only be solved by that person."
"Who is that person?" the bandit asked hurriedly.
"Your future father-in-law." Baoer said cunningly with a blink of his eyes.
"My future...father-in-law..." Before Ah Fei could react to who it belonged to, he suddenly saw Baoer raising his hands in the air.
The void was like a curtain, which was torn open by her hands, and a space channel was torn out.
Ah Fei was stunned. What a terrifying power it was that could tear the space apart at will and form a space channel. This was much more difficult than simply breaking the space.
Li Xiu knew even more how terrifying Baoer's move was. It was not simply tearing the void, but breaking through the barriers of the world.
Li Boyang worked so hard to break through the barrier of the world and came to this world from the prison world he mentioned.
Baoer actually tore open the world barrier with ease. There is no doubt that she is a cosmic-level existence, and not just an ordinary cosmic-level existence.
"Let's go, Ling'er and everyone are waiting for you." Bao'er held Li Xiu's hand with one hand and A Fei's hand with the other, and walked towards the space passage. A golden light rose from Bao'er's palm, covering Li Xiu and A Fei with a layer of golden light.
The two were pulled by Baoer into the space channel. They did not feel any discomfort, but saw the space in front of them distorted into all kinds of bizarre shapes, like a constantly changing kaleidoscope.
Li Xiu was being pulled forward by Baoer. The gold coin in his arms, which had turned into a cosmic coin, suddenly shone brightly. The purple and white light shot up into the sky and turned into a Tai Chi. It instantly pulled Li Xiu in and disappeared.
Li Xiu only felt the scene in front of him change, and he actually appeared in front of the void stone gate at the terminus of the Time Tunnel. The cosmic coin had already fallen on the void stone gate. As the purple and white light on the cosmic coin merged into the void stone gate, the stone gate actually slowly opened, and a strange light shone through the gap of the void stone gate.
The light shone on Li Xiu, and Li Xiu only felt his body sink slightly, as if there was a huge suction force pulling his body, making him fly towards the open void stone door involuntarily.
Li Xiu struggled twice but was unable to break free from the suction, so he had to let the suction pull him into the void stone gate.
Although his body is still cosmic level, it is difficult for him to control his body because his spiritual consciousness is damaged, and there is not much he can do.
Boom!
The moment Li Xiu was sucked into the stone gate, the void stone gate closed directly, and all the light disappeared, as if it had never been opened.
Li Xiu's feet touched the real object, and then he found that he had come to a huge void tomb.
On the huge mountain-like empty tomb, there were all kinds of strange things stuck in it, including common swords, spears, and halberds, some unusual ones that Li Xiu had never seen before, and there was even a black pot stuck in the tomb.
At the highest point of the grave, there was a cloth banner with four words written on it: "Calculate the destiny."
"Welcome to the world without gods. This will be where you start and where you end. Please leave something that can represent your identity on the Heavenly Tomb. If you die there, this thing will be your final tombstone. As long as people are there, things will remain; when people die, things will be destroyed. No matter whether you were a god or a demon, an immortal or a saint, from now on you will only struggle to survive as a human in that horrible world. There are no gods, demons, immortals or saints in that world, because in that world, even the most ordinary person was once the master of a world, but in that world, he is just an ordinary person who may die at any time. What you have to do is to survive and live to the end..." There was no inscription in front of the grave. The tombstone, like a wordless Heavenly Monument, suddenly shone brightly, and a voice rang in Li Xiu's mind.
"I took the wrong road. I don't want to go to that world without God. Can you let me go back?" Li Xiu sighed while looking at the tombstone.
"You've taken the wrong road..." That voice actually sounded in Li Xiu's mind again: "How interesting! How can you take the wrong road in a place like this? Without cosmic-level power, you can't possibly come here. Since you are cosmic-level, you haven't taken the wrong road. Whether you've taken the wrong road or not, there's no turning back. You must keep going. It doesn't matter who comes, gods, immortals, saints, or demons."
Li Xiu knew that this should be Li Boyang's world. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's true that I am at the cosmic level, but my spiritual consciousness is damaged. I can't even control my own body. I have no ability to continue walking. What's the point of going there?"
The tombstone shone with light again, bathing Li Xiu's body. After a moment, the strange voice rang in Li Xiu's mind again: "Strange... Really strange... Your spiritual consciousness is damaged to this extent... This shouldn't be the case... What on earth did you do..."
"I didn't do anything, I just slightly modified the origin data of the universe." Li Xiu said casually.
"Nonsense... Even if it is the original data of the microcosm... it cannot be modified by a mere universe-level..." the strange voice said coldly.
"Maybe my expression is wrong." Li Xiu recounted the process of how he saw the data streams and then modified them.
After Li Xiu finished speaking, the strange voice did not appear for a long time. After waiting for a long time, when Li Xiu could not help but speak again, the strange voice sounded again: "Your spiritual consciousness is so strong that it is unique among the visitors from the small universe that I have seen. It's a pity. However, the rules cannot be changed. Since you have come here, there is no turning back. You can only keep going. Although the chance is slim, you are not completely without a chance. If you are lucky enough and born in the right place, maybe your spiritual consciousness will be able to recover soon and become stronger. But that is too difficult. There is only one place like that in ten thousand. I hope you are lucky enough to leave your token on the Heavenly Tomb."
"It seems like I have no other choice." When Li Zhengxing was thinking about what to leave behind, he suddenly felt the entire giant tomb in the void shake.
The next second, a space crack appeared above the grave. A figure rushed out from the space crack and stepped heavily on the grave.
"Sister Baoer!" Li Xiu was slightly startled when he saw the figure landing on the grave, and then he was overjoyed.
"Who dares to break into the Heavenly Tomb without permission..." An angry voice came from above the tombstone.
Bang!
Baoer flew up and landed on the tombstone. He stepped on the tombstone and smiled at Li Xiu and said, "Xiao Xiu Xiu, why did you come here? It made me look so hard."
"Did you listen to me? This is not the place you came from. You broke into the Heavenly Tomb without permission. You should..."
Before the tombstone could finish its words, Baoer suddenly stepped hard with his foot, and a trace of golden light penetrated into the tombstone, instantly stopping the sound of the tombstone.
"You are not being good. I'm talking to Xiao Xiuxiu. Didn't your mother tell you not to interrupt others when they are talking?" Baoer said with blinking eyes.
Silence, deathly silence.
"That's good." Baoer jumped down and came to Li Xiu, took Li Xiu's hand and said, "Xiao Xiu Xiu, let's go. Ling'er and the others are still waiting. Don't let them wait too anxiously."
"Um...can we discuss this..." The voice from the tombstone sounded again, but without the condescending attitude it had at the beginning.
"Are you being naughty again?" Baoer turned around and glared at the tombstone.
Li Xiu saw the tombstone tremble obviously, and thought to himself: "Sister Baoer looks cute and adorable, but her ability is really amazing. She actually scared the tombstone into this state."
"No...no...I just want to discuss something with you...your friend has an extremely strong spiritual consciousness, but because of that, even if you take him back, it is impossible to repair his spiritual consciousness in the microcosm. If you want to repair his spiritual consciousness, it is only possible in this world." Tombstone said hurriedly.
"You won't lie to me, will you?" Baoer asked with blinking eyes.
"How dare I lie to you? You are the blood of a Gene Devourer. I would never lie to you!" Tombstone swore and explained: "With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to repair an ordinary universe-level spiritual consciousness. You should have tried it. His spiritual consciousness is simply not something that can be repaired by the power of a small universe."
"What should we do then?" Baoer said, looking at the tombstone with anticipation.
"The only way is to let him enter a world without gods. I know there are some places there that can repair spiritual consciousness. As long as he can be born in those places, his spiritual consciousness will not only be restored quickly, but also be able to go further. With his spiritual consciousness talent, he will definitely achieve great things in the future..." said the tombstone.
"Didn't you say that that kind of place is one in a million and it's basically impossible to get there randomly? My luck has always been bad, so forget it." Li Xiu said.
"Well...actually I can help you...it will give you a high chance of being born in that kind of place..." Tombstone said hesitantly.
"You are so awesome?" Baoer looked surprised, as if he admired her very much.
"Of course, I am..." Tombstone actually became a little proud.
"What are you?" Baoer squinted at the tombstone.
Tombstone shuddered and said repeatedly: "I am nothing. In front of you, I am nothing."
"Show me all the places where you were born." Baoer knew in her heart that what the tombstone said was right. She couldn't repair Li Xiu's spiritual consciousness. Even if she brought Li Xiu back, the possibility of being able to completely repair it was very low.
"That's not possible... I don't have that..." Tombstone said hurriedly.
"No way?" Baoer's little face darkened. He pushed his sunglasses up and stared at the grassland fiercely.
"Well... it's not impossible..."
"I knew you were the best and the most capable." Baoer smiled immediately and patted the tombstone with his little hands, as if he was coaxing a three-year-old child.
"I..." Tombstone felt like cursing, but he didn't dare to speak out loud.
I saw a flash of light on the tombstone, and soon a huge map appeared. The map was extremely large and more complicated than a star map.
There are many shining places on the map, and the tombstone says: "Those areas with light are the areas where you can be reborn."
"Tell me clearly the advantages and disadvantages of those areas." Baoer asked with a smile.
Before Tombstone could speak, Baoer added: "Little Tombstone, you know I hate it most when someone lies to me. You won't lie to me, will you?"
As he spoke, Baoer patted the tombstone with his little hands.
"Even if you lend me another courage, I still wouldn't dare." Tombstone trembled and was about to cry.
"Be good, don't cry, I believe you are a good child." Baoer smiled and comforted: "Then tell me quickly."
The tombstones can only be explained one area at a time, but there are too many areas.
"Xiao Xiu Xiu, what do you think?" I don't know how long he had been talking, but before Tombstone finished speaking, Baoer interrupted him and looked at Li Xiu and asked.
"Sister Baoer, can you help me take care of Ah Fei?" Li Zheng said seriously.
"Don't worry, with my sister here, no one can bully her, so go without worry." Baoer said seriously.
"There are a few more things..." After Li Xiu finished speaking, he walked to the tombstone, pointed to a bright spot on the map and said, "I'll choose to go there."
"No... there..." Tombstone cried out.
"No way?" Baoer showed her two little fangs and looked at the tombstone with a smile. She and Li Xiu had already heard that the bright areas on the map were divided into levels, and the higher the level, the more advantageous it was. Although the tombstone did not say it, Baoer and Li Xiu had judged that the place Li Xiu chose was one of the three highest-level areas.
"Well...it's not impossible...then let's choose that place..." The tombstone immediately softened.
"By the way, little Xiu Xiu is so cute, and he is going to take an adventure to such a dangerous place alone. Won't you give him a gift?" Baoer looked at the tombstone with his big black eyes, looking pitiful.
"I'm a tombstone...what can I give him...Okay...I have a little bit of energy here...that may be of some use in helping him transform into a guardian..." said the tombstone, squeezing out a ray of light from its body and shooting into Li Xiu's body.
"My great-grandmother... I really have nothing left..." Seeing that Baoer wanted to say something, the tombstone was about to cry.
"Okay." Baoer licked his lips with satisfaction.
"Please leave a token of your identity on the Tianmu." Tombstone was overjoyed and quickly said to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu thought about it, took out a ring and placed it on the grave.
After the ring fell on the grave, light shone on the tombstone and a strange vortex of time and space appeared.
"Sister Baoer, thank you. Please say sorry to Sister Linger on my behalf. I will go to find her as soon as I come back." Li Xiu said helplessly.
"Okay." Baoer pointed to the cloth banner with the words "Calculate Destiny" on the highest point of the grave and said mysteriously, "If you encounter any difficulties over there, go find the owner of the cloth banner. Although that person is not very reliable, he should be able to help you a little."
"Who is its owner?" Li Xiu asked curiously.
But before Baoer could answer, Li Xiu was sucked into the vortex and disappeared in an instant.
"Life energy is being assessed... Novice level 1... Guardian 0... Life forms that can be transformed into Destiny Guardians are discovered... Transforming... Destiny energy is discovered... Destiny Guardians are upgraded to Super Destiny Guardians... Super Destiny Guardians. The unmarried bride under the starry sky has a special contract with the host...

Energy reorganization... Reorganization failed... This life form cannot be transformed into an independent Destiny Guardian...

Jedi Knights are transformed into Destiny Guardians... Energy reorganization... Reorganization failed... This life form has a dual soul... It cannot be transformed into an independent Destiny Guardian..." Strange voices kept ringing in Li Xiu's mind.
