For a moment, Xie Zhi felt that all the courage in his body had left him.
There is no blow more tormenting than watching the door to heaven slowly closing so close to you, but you are powerless to do anything about it. And if there is, then I'm afraid it can only be because I saw eyes from hell again after this.
It was an endless dark hole. When Xie Zhi came to his senses, he found himself standing in front of the hole.
Even he couldn't tell that it was a child's hole at first.
Because no matter whether Xie Zhi looked up, down, left, or right, he could only see endless darkness.
Xie Zhi ran backwards, but the wall of darkness was not further away from him at all. Xie Zhi moved forward against the endless darkness and plunged into the deep darkness, but when he stopped, he found that there were endless Darkness still stood before him.
It is not an abyss, because even the most desperate abyss allows outsiders to fall.
It was not nothingness, because confusion and emptiness did not occupy his mind. Xie Zhi could feel that his eyes were full.
And that "wall" is also physical.
Xie Zhi stood in front of this black wall, shaking.
Maybe it was minutes, maybe it was centuries. Xie Zhi could no longer measure time in this space through his own consciousness.
Time seems to be swallowed up in the progress of the dimensional light cone, or twisted in some kind of black hole.
And the end point of all black holes seems to be here.
Suddenly, Xie Zhi felt unreasonable fear, and the hairs stood on end in the 48,000 pores on his body, making him surrender to this black wall.
The light brightened.
It was a faint light.
But when Xie Zhi looked where the light was coming from, he found that the light was everywhere.
All the points of light are shining towards you.
It's like, the softest gaze in the world.
And the most majestic.
That was the gaze of the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor.
The Dragon City Heavenly Emperor doesn't need anyone to kneel down in front of him, and she doesn't even need anyone to call her the Heavenly Emperor.
But when you come in front of her, even if you only see a small part of her vast eyes, you will kneel down on the spot because you feel her solemnity and inviolability.
Xie Zhi was trembling and sweating like rain. He was fighting against the gaze of the Dragon City Emperor.
But the struggle was in vain after all, when Zhao Haiyang would rather die with his own life to awaken the Dragon City Emperor's shocking glance, when the Dragon City Emperor finally threw her divine power unreservedly at the only person who was the initiator of the time-travel incident. …
Even if that person is Xie Zhi, who has experienced more than 30,000 cycles, he is as insignificant as an ant in front of the Dragon City Emperor.
Xie Zhi lasted eleven breaths under the gaze of the Dragon City Emperor.
On the third breath, Xie Zhi's legs bent unconsciously, as if he had experienced the most tiring marathon run in his life. The fatigue spread from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai, and turned into a fishy-sweet taste that penetrated his throat.
In the sixth breath, the sweetness in the throat transferred from the throat to the whole body, to every meridians and blood vessels, and even to every cell of Xie Zhi. The five senses retreated from around Xie Zhi. Xie Zhi could feel it, Only fatigue.
Ninth breath, fatigue, even greater fatigue. The fatigue is like an overwhelming locust. Xie Zhi seems to be soaked in formalin specimen solution. After centuries, all the muscles in his body are like a piece of iron. Everywhere is like a piece of iron. It was hard and no longer under his control, but it felt like it had been chopped thousands of times with knives and soaked in minced meat with baking soda. There was no bone in the body that was not soft, and it was so soft that it could not exert any strength.
At the eleventh breath, Xie Zhi cut off his legs.
"I, Xie Zhi, will not kneel to heaven, earth, or you."
Blood and tears oozed from Xie Zhi's eyes. The pain from the depths of his soul made his eyes split open. The retrograde and decline of body functions made him weaker than an ant at this moment. He had no chance of winning. In the Dragon City where he had not yet appeared. In front of the Emperor of Heaven, the other party is just
Only one eye appeared, and the pressure of that eye alone made Xie Zhi lose everything.
But Xie Zhi still smiled.
He smiled as he watched his severed legs melt into the endless darkness.
He knew that the next person to be melted was all of himself except his legs.
"Even if I can only get a bad ending after 30,000 cycles, I still believe that the story that belongs to me, 40,000 times, 50,000 times, 60,000 times, will still be written by me in the end."
Xie Zhi stretched out his hand and wiped his neck cleanly.
"I won't let you kill me, I will kill myself before you kill me."
The moment his head hit the ground, Xie Zhi left a still contemptuous squeak for this cycle.
"We'll see you in the next cycle."
…
In theory, this is the case.
Theoretically, when Xie Zhi chooses to end his life, the giant moon world will restart. This time, the flowers, plants, trees, birds, fish and insects in the world will return to the way they were at the beginning of the cycle.
However, when Xie Zhi's head rolled down and the contemptuous roar echoed in front of the dark boy's hole, the cycle that was supposed to happen did not happen.
Xie Zhi's head stagnated in the darkness, while his body slowly fell and melted into the endless darkness.
Xie Zhi was silent. He realized that things did not develop as he imagined.
But even though he has cycled through more than 30,000 times, he has never experienced such an unfolding. He has never seen the so-called Dragon City Heavenly Emperor before. The most ferocious enemy he has ever seen is only limited to the one who can change. Zhao Haiyang, the giant warrior god.
It took Xie Zhi nearly seven thousand cycles to go from a weak ant to the fifth step of power that can equal Zhao Haiyang. The majestic feeling of defeating cleverness with force and standing upright, the majesty of the golden warrior statue under the moonlight, even if Xie Zhi, who had already gone through the cycle 30,000 times at this time, could only say that he could only win by half a point.
And now this endless wall of darkness, which can't be seen to the end, is still just the corner of Fang's child's hole. The Dragon City Heavenly Emperor seems to be in this world, from the past when the world first opened to the eternal future.
It took Xie Zhi nearly 7,000 times to use the cycle rules to continuously break through himself until he defeated Zhao Haiyang. How much more would it cost Xie Zhi to see the Emperor of Dragon City who was ten, a hundred, or a thousand times more powerful than Zhao Haiyang? What about the secondary cycle?
No, I'm afraid it's more than a thousand times.
With only one head left, Xie Zhi looked desperately at this endless wall of darkness.
When you can't even spy on the other person's energy level, or even know where the other person is or what he looks like, then I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to say that the gap between the other person and you is ten thousand times different.
but……
No matter what, as long as the next cycle can be started, as long as the world can be restarted, I still have a chance.
only……
I have wiped my neck cleanly, cutting off all the life in my body, but a new cycle has still not begun...
Xie Zhi's mind was spinning rapidly. There was a vague guess in his mind. The closer that guess got to him, the deeper his despair became. So deep that he kept pushing away the guess and thinking about all kinds of irrelevant things. , for example, a new round of future after starting the cycle.
"When a new cycle starts, I must find Zhang Zihe's wrong formula as soon as possible. No, I not only want to find Zhang Zihe's formula, I also want to find Liu Yuanfeng's manuscript. I want to go to the Sea of Forgotten, regardless of the consequences. Breaking through the fifth step, there must be a sixth step above the fifth step, otherwise you can't explain why we at the fifth step are like toddlers in front of the Emperor of Dragon City..."
Xie Zhi's mind was spinning rapidly, and he could feel the movement. Bioelectricity was being transmitted through neurons, from tens of thousands of synapses to all cortical folds.
Yes, cortical folds.
He saw it.
He saw...his own brain.
In Xie Zhi's eyes, the whole world began to turn...
The right side separated. It took a long time for Xie Zhi to realize that it was not the world that was separating, but his eyes, left eye, right eye, and his brain, all floating in the endless darkness.
[In view of the general environment,
He tried to speak, but his right eye suddenly saw a tongue that was trying to pronounce vowel sounds. The tongue wanted to press against the teeth, but the entire upper jaw bone floated. As the resistance was quickly pushed away, the teeth And the teeth also fell out of the upper jaw bone.
Xie Zhi's throat began to vibrate, and as it vibrated, it scurried around randomly in the endless darkness. The fallen teeth drifted to the side of the vibrating throat, and were pushed away by the throat. The left eye kept enlarging until it hit Xie Zhi's eyeball.
So Xie Zhi's left eye drifted further to the right than his right eye.
Spin, chaos, disorder, silence.
Confusion and despair piled up in Xie Zhi's heart like a mountain.
Why?
Why am I not dead yet?
Is this...the power of the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor?
I can't live or die...
Even the right to die must be taken away from me. Even though I have reached the fifth step of Lingxu, in front of her, I still feel as if I have been exposed to X-rays...
There are no secrets.
The dark hole melted everything that belonged to me.
But I still couldn't embrace death.
Why……
Why do I feel so reassured?
just like……
Xie Zhi suddenly thought of pitcher plants.
It is a plant that attracts flies with its sweet sap and digests them in its leaf cage.
Yes, I was that fly, whose feet were wrapped in honey and melted into the cage of the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor.
There is no right to resist.
In a flash of lightning, Xie Zhi finally realized the mystery of the Dragon City Emperor. He realized that the gap between himself and the Dragon City Emperor was not as vast as he imagined.
However, at this moment, even if he discovered the secret of the Dragon City Emperor, he could not turn the corner and escape from the "cage" of the Dragon City Emperor.
From his limbs to his organs, from his muscles to his blood, everything that belonged to him was being dissolved by the Dragon City Emperor.
The eyes of the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor were staring at him from all directions.
Xie Zhi finally understood where he was.
He broke into... the stomach of the incarnation of the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor.
The mouth of the Emperor of Heaven is the preying pitcher plant, attracting him to break into it.
And that endless dark wall is both the child's hole and the stomach wall.
The Heavenly Emperor of Dragon City is looking at me from all directions. She is using countless eyes of her own to peer into my heart and every action I am about to take.
Xie Zhi finally realized the mystery of this trap.
It seems that the ability gap between himself and the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor is huge, or even the gap between the fifth and sixth steps. However, in fact, this kind of double kill of tens of thousands of times the energy level may be to a considerable extent. All because of the blessing of the venue.
Mind reading, melting, and endless suggestions and hypnosis finally completed this hunting for myself...
Xie Zhi's eyes and brain were floating in the endless darkness.
Floating adrift in the invisible "digestive juices".
But there was one thing he couldn't figure out.
The Heavenly Emperor of Dragon City is precisely controlling each of her dissolutions of Xie Zhi, keeping Xie Zhi alive with only his eyeballs and brain left.
The left and right eyes were floating and spinning, like two out-of-control spaceships in the starry sky.
But why did he do this?
In order to maintain your own life so that a new cycle will never happen again?
But the world right now is riddled with holes from top to bottom, and the great flood has
The fragmentation of water, mountains and hills, the destruction of cities, the collapse of order...
And the Martial God Zhao Haiyang, who had just died and whose bones were still cold.
Does the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor, or in other words, the Mediation Court, really want to maintain this almost complete collapse of the world?
No matter how they think about it, it is more in their interests to allow themselves to start a new cycle.
Xie Zhi thought so.
However, as his thoughts drifted away, he shivered for no reason.
"What if I told you that your time travel and everything you have pursued in the past ten thousand cycles are also everything we have pursued...what would you think?"
He heard a new voice. The timbre of that voice was something he had never heard before. It was neither male nor female, nor any sound in the middle, high or low range, but it was like the voices of thousands of ordinary people gathered together.
That was the voice of the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor.
"Looper, you lost. Your pride brought you to this point."
At the same time that the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor's voice reached Xie Zhi's mind, Xie Zhi suddenly felt chills all over his body. He suddenly realized the real plan of the Mediation Tribunal. If the matter of time travel had been in their imagination from beginning to end, or in other words, If I can find out that certain key nodes of the time-travel formula are all due to the participation of the members of the Mediation Tribunal, the time-travel issue must be an indispensable part of a more far-reaching conspiracy...
At this moment, Xie Zhi was enlightened, but his whole body seemed to be paralyzed. His remaining eyeballs and brain were in a state of stress-like paralysis. Apart from fear, he no longer had any consciousness.
The voice of the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor came again.
"You are proud of your identity as a looper and your authority to restart the world anytime and anywhere. You regard all the suffering in the world as part of the game, and you regard every cycle as a resurrection in the video game..."
do not talk……
Xie Zhi's eyes were dull, and he realized what was about to happen.
But he couldn't stop it. At this time, even the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor's message couldn't stop him.
"Your authority is above that of the entire world. You claim to be the son of the world, shouldering the will of the entire world's survival. You turn the clock back in crisis after crisis, so that all threats that can threaten the survival of the world are eliminated. .”
Stop talking... stop talking...
"But, after tens of thousands of cycles, what did you save in the end?"
"You have nothing to save. You began to escape after the fifteen thousandth cycle. You evaded the responsibilities and obligations given to you by the will of the world, and regarded the cycle as a part of pure rights..."
"You have fallen. Your corruption has plunged the entire world into shadow."
Stop talking...please...
But the voice of the Dragon City Heavenly Emperor continues, the voice of thousands of people.
"Did you know? Xie Zhi, a cycler who is unable to fulfill his duties and obligations is no longer a son of the plane."
"When did it start? Maybe it was the first time your left foot left the giant moon world and set foot on the planet called Earth."
"You are no longer a son of the plane. Xie Zhi."
"You have left the land where the great moon shines, and you are no more."
Please do not……
No……
Please……
I can change...
"It's over. Xie Zhi, from the moment you left here, everything was over."
"This land has chosen a new spokesperson."
"We are bringing you back just to take back the authority of your mother who has been living abroad."
Eternal darkness swallowed up Xie Zhi.
It was a light of despair that was darker than the wall of darkness.
And the voices of thousands of people are still hovering in the darkness.
"Xie Zhi, you are no longer a cyclist."
"Xie Zhi, you are no longer..."
