In an empty world.
The young man's voice echoed softly.
Ironically, his voice was as if blown by the evening breeze, filled with a strange warmth.
"Dad, Mom, you guys, please come in."
The boy named "Xue" seemed to be Zheng Xiu and Annie's child at this moment, polite, elegant and calm. The young man put his hands on his thighs and bowed deeply.
"Other humans, stay."
"Don't disturb me, brothers."
The radiance of "just peace" spreads to everyone.
The hourglass of snow crystals in the scale began to slip.
The orange cat stared deeply at the hourglass, watching the snow crystals in the scale slide down little by little.
"He's right."
Anne's tone was indifferent as if everything was taken for granted: "We don't have time. I feel that at the deepest level, they are trying to crack the layers of encryption on the surface of the 'Emperor'."
"Once they get hold of the 'key', everything will be over."
Anne glanced back inadvertently: "Although I'm very sorry for them to say this, as humans, they can't make any difference now."
Zheng Xiu: "So, do you think there is nothing suspicious about Him letting us go?"
Annie: "Don't use human thinking to measure them."
Hearing this, Zheng Xiu thought for a moment and nodded: "I understand."
"Hahaha!"
Pei Gaoya suddenly laughed, jumped into the air, and stepped on it with red flames burning all over his body.
The blazing flames melted the boy's body.
Boom, boom, boom!
Pei Gaoya was afraid that the boy would resurrect, so he stepped on the snow one foot after another, like a whack-a-mole, denting any bulges.
While stepping on it, he said: "You go first!"
From time to time, the phantom of the balance appeared behind Pei Gaoya: "I am full of energy now. Wait until I teach your children what it means to respect the old and love the young. I will catch up later!"
"just?"
The young man gathered half of his body on the snow and looked at the "Plain of Justice" in the void with slight surprise.
Pei Gaoya's face was ferocious, and the shadow of his legs was chasing the boy like lightning. The fire was burning on the dry snowfield, like a prairie fire.
"quick!"
"Walk!"
"Uh-huh!"
Qing Shisan's hands were as fast as lightning. He took out a cigarette stick from behind and scraped it on his trouser leg.
"Master, leave this to Lao Pei."
Everyone else was silent. Only Qing Shisan regained consciousness after taking a few puffs, and sprinted towards the next door with Ji Hongou.
"I know Lao Pei." Qing Shisan said in a relaxed tone: "That guy looks like a bear, but in fact he is more timid than anyone else in front of his wife."
"He promised his wife that he would go home and rub her clothes tonight."
"If he can't go back, his wife won't be able to cause trouble?"
Zheng Xiu closed and opened his eyes, but there was no more trouble.
He waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go!"
An orange cat squatted above Zheng Xiu's head and came to the dirty door.
The gray-brown soil flows on the door.
"Swamp."
In the past, when Zheng Xiu faced them directly, "marsh" was the easiest to deal with.
Just fly and don't fall.
But after the "freezing" of "snow", Zheng Xiu thought it was not that simple before pushing the door open. The "humanoid" that truly gave birth to consciousness is equivalent to a super evolution compared to the past.
They became familiar with their own magic abilities and strengthened one of them in particular. Focus a little and reach the top, don’t underestimate it.
Eee!
The door opens.
Behind the door is a world full of mud.
There was a wet floating island under their feet. In the distance, the roiling mud seemed to be alive, raising a small hill.
The mud on the hillock squirmed violently like flesh and blood.
The cracks were forced open and squeezed into small shuttle-shaped holes.
In every hole, eyes opened.
Bo~
Some eyes were squeezed out, leaving dark holes.
Densely packed eyes are scattered on the flowing mud.
"Mom...Mom...Dad...Dad..."
Voices as tender as a child came from all directions.
The voice was broken and innocent-sounding.
Zheng Haoran had a dull face, looking at Zheng Xiu's back and the orange cat's butt.
Until now, he still can't accept the fact that he has become a grandfather and his daughter-in-law is a female cat.
Zheng Xiu’s eyes twitched.
call!
call!
call!
In the vast swamp world, thick tornadoes suddenly rolled up.
The mudslide rolled up into the air and turned into a huge mud scale in the sky.
There is also an hourglass in the scale, and what flows in the hourglass is not snow crystals, but mud flow.
In the distance, a red door with hot lava flowing on it appeared out of thin air in everyone's sight.
"Hiss..."
On the snake's neck, the mini snake spits out letters.
Snake listened intently, with a confused look on his face: "My mother said that the child was very happy to see his parents."
Zheng Xiu: "..."
Annie: "..."
One person and one cat remained silent.
The Wolf King patted Zheng Haoran on the shoulder.
Zheng Haoran refused to admit defeat, glanced at Yue Linglong secretly, and patted the Wolf King on the shoulder.
The Wolf King squatted down in the corner, looking disappointed.
This small interaction between the Wolf King and Zheng Haoran did not attract the attention of others.
Xi'er stood on the rock and looked at the giant swamp hills covered with eyes in the distance. At first, the densely packed eyes made her scalp feel numb and she had trypophobia. But when Snake said this, he looked at this shape, how could it be more pleasing to the eye and a little cute?
Xi'er rubbed her eyes and couldn't help it anymore. She pointed at the cute mound with eyes and complained: "You mean, these guys who are neither human nor ghosts are indeed...ah, they are..." He thought that he was the child born to the master...ah! The child born to the master and the female cat...ah, bah, bah!" Everyone looked at Xi'er with strange eyes, and Xi'er also found that the more he changed his mind, the more he became more and more confused. He couldn't tell, so he simply stopped talking about whose child this was and immediately kept silent.
"He seems different from before."
Situ Yong had already put his hand on the sword at his waist, looking into the distance with piercing eyes: "He didn't pay any attention to us."
Jun Buxiao chuckled: "Boss, you have a very cold and arrogant temper!"
Zheng Xiu ignored other people's discussions and asked Anne: "Do they have different 'characters'?"
"If you think it can be described as 'character', you can also say that."
Anne did not refute: "In the ordinary world, human beings have various 'wish's, and there are different 'emotions'."
"Either happiness, or anger, or greed, or laziness, or desire, or expectation."
"It is these human 'emotions' that should be abandoned that give birth to them."
"That's why I call them false gods."
"These 'impurities' should not exist in the divine nature."
Zheng Xiu's eyes flashed: "I have always been curious about why there is eternal darkness and eternal life."
"According to my understanding, the Eternal World is equivalent to the human world, so Eternal Darkness...where was it before it became Eternal Darkness?"
Anne was silent for a while.
Now that the matter has come to this, she seems to have no need to hide anything.
"The Kingdom of God." Annie said helplessly: "Before I looked back, it used to be my Kingdom of God, the 'paradise' of the gods. But later, it became closed, and it was too dark inside, and I couldn't see clearly. 'What's happening in the Kingdom of God today."
A bad thought came to Zheng Xiu's mind.
"You don't have to worry." Annie comforted Zheng Xiu: "No matter what the gods have become, now you only need to win the 'Emperor' for me, crack the 'Encryption', and regain the 'Key', and then I can Everything restarts. This is...'the only way'."
"good."
Zheng Xiu knew that what Anne said was true. The importance of "emperor" was self-evident. After the humanoid was born, the "Emperor" was snatched away as soon as possible. It can be seen that the "key" hidden in the "Emperor" is very important to both Anne and the humanoid.
"That guy really doesn't seem to want to pay attention to us!"
Snake also observed it for a moment and said somewhat uncertainly.
"Then... let's go?"
Situ Yong probed.
Qing Shisan and Ji Hongou looked back from time to time. The door behind them had disappeared. Qing Shisan's hand holding the cigarette rod was trembling slightly.
"It's fine."
Ji Hongou smiled sweetly, aware of Qing Shisan's worry, gently grabbed Qing Shisan's calloused palm, and slowly shook her head: "We are all fine."
Zheng Xiu urged the [Literati] expressionlessly, and the layers of human skin on his arms were thinly torn open.
He was still carrying the monk on his shoulders, but the monk had already passed out and was motionless.
On the three-dimensional map, a large area of the city that was built as a cone collapsed underneath.
As time passed, cities were destroyed by the black ocean and annihilated in the void.
Small dots flashed on the map.
All of them are concentrated in one area.
The small dot with the word "Pei" written on it is far away in another room.
Zheng Xiu understood the structure of the monk's "atrium" at a glance.
Although the city was invaded by outsiders, it expanded several times. But the core structure has not changed. "Seven Hearts Town" is composed of seven key rooms. The entrances to the seven rooms were originally scattered throughout the city, but under the influence of a certain force, the seven rooms were opened and became Zheng Xiu's current view.
"time is limited."
Annie reminded in a low voice.
Zheng Xiu instantly understood the meaning of Annie's words. When she said "time is running out", she was not simply referring to the time elapsed by the hourglass on the scale, but the speed at which the room was collapsing.
The seven rooms were originally scattered in various corners of the city. At this moment, the city was beginning to collapse from the "periphery" to the center. Once they stayed in the room, they had no time to enter the next room and suffered a "collapse"... The consequences would be disastrous.
Nodding, Zheng Xiu closed the human skin book.
The clay figurine ignored their intentions, Xi'er flicked his fingers together, and in a blink of an eye, the silk threads laid a dragnet on the swamp.
Everyone understood and easily walked on the silk thread to the next door.
There is hot lava flowing on the next door. It is self-evident what it is.
Ye smiled slightly and glanced at Zheng Xiu: "I hope there is also a good boy in the next room."
Zheng Xiu and Annie staggered at the same time.
"Mom..."
"Daddy..."
Just when everyone was stepping on the silk thread, they were about to arrive at the next door.
That childish voice suddenly sounded from all directions.
"Are you...you...going...to...leave...?"
"Play...with...me..."
"nobody is with me……"
"Everyone...stay...come...play..."
"Okay~~~~"
stretch! stretch! stretch!
suddenly!
A terrible pressure came invisible and colorless, and the threads all over the sky were broken at the same time. Xi'er opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone's bodies were twisted, and their bones made horrifying brittle sounds. They fell rapidly downwards in mid-air, towards the swamp.
"Die Wu!"
A unique "pen" on Zheng Xiu's arm flashed away. Zheng Xiu held the pen, and dots of illusory ink popped out.
The butterfly marks left on the faces of the people who were falling shone slightly, and the next moment, a pair of colorful butterfly wings suddenly opened behind them, slowing down their fall.
But there seemed to be some kind of terrible suction in the swamp below. Even with wings, they could not completely stop the falling trend.
"gravity!"
Zheng Xiu groaned: "He can control gravity!"
Annie was also falling in mid-air, but she calmly raised a paw and corrected Zheng Xiu's words: "To be precise, this child has perfected the attribute of 'sinking' to the extreme." Annie's nose twitched, her paws clapped in front of her in realization, and her cat's eyes lit up: "Good guy, no wonder I can't smell the stench of the swamp."
"Are you still in the mood to praise Him now? Do you really treat Him like a child?"
Zheng Xiu was also falling. With the monk on his shoulders, he could better understand the horror of "falling". Zheng Xiu felt like he was carrying a big mountain on his shoulders.
painting! painting! painting!
Zheng Xiu's hand was as fast as lightning. In just a moment, he drew several pairs of small wings and inserted them behind his back.
At the same time, Qing Shisan gritted his teeth and spun a few times in the air, puffing up clouds and mist and blowing into the swamp.
call!
The white smoke suddenly solidified, turning into a small boat that could barely accommodate a few people.
"Qingqing!"
Qing Shisan fell to the boat, took another breath, and passed through the smoke as if teleporting, appearing under Ji Hongou, hugged her, and called back to Yin Qingqing.
In fact, before Qing Shisan spoke, Yin Qingqing had already started to take action. Several pieces of human skin popped out and put Ye, Snake, Wolf King, Zheng Haoran, Xi'er, and Yue Linglong into the time demon space respectively.
With each person taken in, Yin Qingqing's complexion became visibly paler to the naked eye. The blood vessels on the surface of her fair skin were bulging, and her face became twisted and hideous due to the pain that others could not imagine.
"Yo ho ho ho ho! You can't hit me!"
In mid-air, when he saw Yin Qingqing's human skin shot towards him, Jun Buxiao twisted his waist seductively and dodged.
Yin Qingqing was stunned.
Boom!
The old man Situ Yong was the first to land on the boat, on the bow.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Yin Qingqing, who was bearing the weight of several people and almost falling like a meteor, hit the stern of the boat, and the bow of the boat suddenly tilted up.
The confused Situ Yong was launched high into the sky.
"Wow!"
Jun Buxiao's body strangely became as light as a feather, and he walked calmly in the air. Under his feet, the shadows rippled in circles, turning into a bottomless black.
"Good boy! Good boy! Silly boy! Naughty boy!"
Jun Buxiao made a trumpet shape with his hands in front of the mask, and shouted to the naughty child with a smile: "Uncle here can do tricks, do you want to come and play?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Buxiao turned his hand and turned into an apple. He opened his mouth, took a bite, and covered it with a piece of black cloth.
The pressure on everyone was reduced again.
"Ding ding ding!"
Jun Buxiao was like the most dazzling guy on the street at the moment, laughing exaggeratedly, lifting the black cloth, and the apple returned to its original shape.
"Hehehehe! I can't believe it!"
He threw the little apple at the naughty child.
The pressure on everyone was reduced by two points.
The apple floated, floated, floated, and floated in front of the naughty child's dense eyes.
boom!
The apple exploded.
A shocking crater was blown out of the naughty boy's face.
"Is it fun! Is it fun! Is it fun!"
Jun Buxiao danced in mid-air crazily, and finally grinned:
"It's so fun!"
bass.
bass.
bass.
When Jun Buxiao did tricks to attract the naughty child's attention, the nearly ten times gravity on everyone finally disappeared.
"quick!"
Qing Shisan's cigarette pole fell on the boat and rowed desperately in the mud towards the other side.
The pressure on Zheng Xiu suddenly decreased, and he pointed downwards. Qing Shisan's boat sprouted wings and soared into the sky.
"Church!"
Situ Yong was still flying high in the sky, and he was screaming. After Yin Qingqing released a few people in the Shiyao space, Xi'er wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and a few silk threads flicked high into the sky to catch Situ Yong.
"Old miracle doctor, hurry up! The opera singer has hooked the naughty kid!"
Zheng Xiu took Qing Shisan's boat to the door.
"An opera singer?"
Situ Yong looked stunned in mid-air. He pulled out the butcher's knife, cut the thread wrapped around him, and waved his hand to Zheng Xiu and others, indicating that they should leave first.
"I... am a healer."
Situ Yong said loudly.
"The doctor is kindhearted."
Situ Yong looked at Jun Buxiao's exaggerated back, as if to convince himself, he nodded vigorously, and repeated the four words: "The doctor is kind!"
