"You knew I was coming, right?"
Suddenly, Zhou Li raised his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Someone told you that Zhou Li would come here, right?"
The two questions may seem similar, but they are actually two completely different questions. The vine demon was also very smart, and he immediately understood the meaning of Zhou Li's words. Her peach-like eyes narrowed slightly, with a confused expression, and she said softly: "Yes, someone told me about your arrival decades ago."
"That person is yourself."
really···
Zhou Li felt as if he was about to catch the truth, but the tail of the truth was slippery and ran away at the touch. He suppressed the doubts that kept churning in his heart and asked the vine demon in front of him: "Which me is it?"
"Exalted Immortal."
The vine demon nodded slightly, his voice as delicate and calm as ever, "The Immortal once passed by our town. He met me and told me that within a few decades after his death, another version of himself would definitely enter this town. He helped We solved a defecting monster, and the reward is this conversation between me and you."
Zhou Li was silent.
He felt a little tight in his chest, and Zhou Li felt a little funny now that the person who had created the biggest problem for him over the years was actually himself. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. He felt a little sad. Even though he had been reborn and had a golden finger, he still couldn't control everything.
The double arrogance of the time traveler and the reborn person...
Only then did Zhou Li realize that he was not omniscient and omnipotent. In the final analysis, he was just a reborn person who had experienced two lives. In a sense, if Eluma had the memories of her past, she might be more powerful than Zhou Li.
For some reason, Zhou Li felt his chest getting heavier and heavier, as if an indescribable emotion began to spread. He felt that some pictures he had never seen appeared in front of him, but those pictures were fleeting and only brought dizziness and trance to Zhou Li.
Slowly, Zhou Li began to feel that his thoughts were slowly being stripped away, and his body began to feel weak. He wanted to shout to let the people around him notice his abnormality, but for some reason, he was clearly not touched by any spells, but his body was completely unable to be controlled by him.
Even though this situation was extremely weird, Zhou Li still did not give up control of his body. He began to try to activate any energy he could in his body, trying to fight against this weird feeling.
His eyes were blurry, but Zhou Li still vaguely saw Eluma, who seemed to be saying something, and Torea, who was as silent as a telegraph pole. And there was Atalona who remained silent beside her.
She was obviously by his side, but as a god, Atalona didn't notice anything was wrong with her. Zhou Li's heart sank deeper and deeper. He knew that what was happening to him now might be even more [weird] than he imagined.
Not even the gods can detect it.
【Really stubborn】
Just when Zhou Li was about to use his last trump card, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
【Don’t struggle if you are one of your own】
Zhou Li ignored it. To be honest, he was a very suspicious person. If he hadn't met many people who gave everything for him in his previous life, I'm afraid Zhou Li wouldn't believe anyone who showed kindness to him. However, even so, Zhou Li was extremely wary of unfamiliar existences, such as this sudden voice that was obviously related to everything that happened to him.
【I knew it】
It seemed that Zhou Li had expected such resistance. After the strange voice sounded for a short time, he sighed helplessly.
[Don’t waste time, this may be one of the few conversations we have]
【I】
The moment he heard the word "I", Zhou Li was stunned. He heard that the other party's words did not stop abruptly. The word "I" was what he wanted to say.
etc.
[Did you hear it? My voice is very similar to yours, haven't you figured out why yet? 】
Upon hearing this, Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, but he did not give up resistance for a long time. He didn't know if this was a conspiracy by the gods. After all, Atalona might not have seen it. There was a high probability that she didn't want to see it.
[Damn it, why are you so stubborn? 】
At this time, a voice that was completely different from the gentle and elegant voice just now intervened. The voice was a little rough and hoarse, but Zhou Li could hear the other person's voice being very similar to the previous voice.
[Do you need me to repeat the story of when you were five years old and stole family money to buy laxatives to drug an attack and ended up being whipped in the bathhouse for half a month? 】
"good."
Without any hesitation, Zhou Li closed his eyes and put it aside.
After an indescribable feeling of dizziness, Zhou Li began to slowly regain control of his body. After a moment, he opened his heavy eyes and looked in front of him.
Two people shrouded in light.
"Do you still want to mosaic yourself?"
Zhou Li twitched the corner of his mouth and told a joke that was cold to the core.
"Not bad."
In the warm light on the left, a calm and elegant voice slowly sounded, "It is a miracle that we can gather together and hear each other's words."
"That's right."
In the cold and holy light on the side, a hoarse voice sounded out, "Just hearing it is already a miracle. If we see each other, I am afraid that the changes that will occur will directly plunge the entire world into madness."
"Am I so awesome?"
Zhou Li had already guessed the identities of the two lumps of holy light in front of him. He sat cross-legged, raised his head, and asked, "Is it you who caused my decadent mood just now?"
"So be it."
After nodding his head, Shangxian said: "Only when we are in the same place, in the same state of mind, and thinking about each other's existence in our minds, can we have the opportunity to find each other and listen to each other's voices in this gap in time. "
"In other words, you have all been to the Three Eastern Courts and this vine demon's home?"
Facing Zhou Li's inquiry, the brave man said after a brief silence: "We are also like you, doubting ourselves and everything we have experienced. But what's different from us is that you are born because of our resonance. This state of mind, on our part, is forced.”
"You are the Immortal, that is, the timeline when Eluma became the Black Emperor, right?"
Zhou Li looked at the halo on the left. After receiving a positive answer, he asked: "Why do you have doubts?"
"Hinao can't understand."
After sneering, the gentle halo let out a long sigh, and then said quietly: "I can't tell you the specific situation, because in a sense, we are all the biggest variables in one dimension, and the words we speak It is very likely that it will affect reality. But what I can tell you is that I experienced the most serious crisis of trust between an old couple at that time. Of course, I was unilaterally defended by Eluma and the Demon King. To get in the way.”
"you will not···"
Obviously, he knows how to laugh at himself best. After hearing the words "dead young man", Zhou Li immediately stood up and wanted to say something, but he couldn't hide the distortion on his face.
"Otherwise? I had been married to Eluma for several years at that time. If it weren't for the fear of our children's education, both of us would have had a lot of children."
After sneering with disdain, the originally gentle and elegant Immortal Zhou Li tore off the surface of hypocrisy and said carelessly: "Let me tell you, even if I can't see what's going on outside the Three Eastern Courts, I can still sense you, you damn chick. The man is definitely not married yet, and he hasn’t even confessed his love. Let me tell you, be careful, the guy next to you who almost ended up in the harem will end up in a bad way."
"So, what about you?"
Zhou Li looked at his previous self and asked, "You are my lost memory of the Three Eastern Courts, right?"
"I knew you could guess it."
Although he was obviously shameless, he expressed his appreciation with his tone, but Zhou Li himself sounded narcissistic. The brave man stood in the light and said calmly: "I appeared after you entered the Three Eastern Courts. After everything is over, I can stand here only after you die."
"In other words, you are all dead."
Facing Zhou Li's unceremonious ridicule, Shangxian and the brave man were not surprised at all. They all knew that they were this kind of person, and if it were Zhou Litiao who was talking to them, they would laugh at each other in the same way.
"In other words, we are just projections on two incomplete dimensions."
The Immortal sighed and explained: "The magic of the Three Eastern Courts is here. This continent is the only land in the world of Gaia that will not be affected by the restart. If a person lives on this continent all his life It is as if he has not experienced a reboot. But the difference between us is that we are not from the world of Gaia, nor are we from the Three Eastern Courts. We are people from Earth, so the rules of the Three Eastern Courts are on us. There was a little accident."
"In short, when we, who belong to the earth, set foot on this land, we will leave behind all the memories here. These memories will turn into afterimages and be hidden on this land, while the real body will Leave the Three Eastern Courts. When time restarts and the body dies, we will appear in the Three Eastern Courts as a unique existence."
"That is to say, I have entered the Three Eastern Courts only in my previous life and when Eluma became the Black Emperor, right?"
"That's right."
Looking at Zhou Li, Shangxian said: "Only you, the brave man, and I have entered this land. The rest of us, due to various factors, did not set foot on this land in the end."
"God, right?"
After all, he said that he was himself. Zhou Li could tell the profound meaning of the Immortal as soon as he heard it. He looked at the Immortal and asked, "Then why did they let us enter the Three Eastern Courts?"
"You are different from us."
Shaking his head, the brave man said: "The Immortal entered the Three Eastern Courts because the gods wanted to find out the strangeness of the Three Eastern Courts. And when I entered the Three Eastern Courts, it was because the gods stole the Three Eastern Courts under various arrangements. The origin of the plan is to destroy the Three Eastern Courts. However, you entered the Three Eastern Courts on your own."
"Zhou Li, do you know why I call myself an Immortal, and a brave man calls himself a brave man?"
Facing the Immortal's question, Zhou Li was stunned. He didn't answer, but he had the answer in his heart. He looked at the brave man beside him, and through the cold light, he saw the other man's red eyes.
"Because we have never escaped the control of gods."
Staring at Zhou Li, the brave man slowly said: "We have been fighting against fate, but in the end we discovered that we are the greatest fate. Only you, you playfully threw fate aside and removed yourself from the position of god It was precisely because of this that we picked it out, Zhou Li, you are our only hope."
Zhou Li was stunned. He looked at the two people above him. It was obvious that they were both him, but Zhou Li could see the solid despair and expectation in the other person's heart. He knew that no matter whether they were brave men or immortals, they all got the most painful ending in the end. They can start over, but they can only wait quietly on this isolated island with pain and despair.
"Actually, at first, I just thought it was a traditional Dragon Quest plot."
For some reason, Zhou Li seemed to be talking to himself, as well as to others, and said slowly: "Later I realized that something was wrong, everything seemed to be wrong."
"I discovered that this is not a traditional passionate kingly plot in which a brave man defeats the devil, receives a reward from the king, and brings home a beautiful woman. I have really been experiencing war, experiencing the most terrifying fight between races. My best friend and lover , and those whom we regarded as family, all died one after another in the war."
"In the end, I lost everything except Eluma. But what I never imagined was that the gods who asked me to save the world would take Eluma away from me in the end. At that moment, I almost I gave up everything and wanted to fight to the death with the gods."
After giving a wry smile, Zhou Li shook his head and continued: "If Kanbar hadn't given me the key and restarted time, I'm afraid I would have been a chess piece controlled by the gods. Later, everything restarted, and I returned with my memories. In the past, I thought I could avoid repeating your old ways, prepare everything earlier, solve problems earlier, and... confront the gods earlier."
"But, when I entered the Three Eastern Courts and discovered your existence, I felt something was wrong again. This didn't seem like a reborn hero's revenge drama. I seemed to be busier than in the previous life. My best friend in the previous life, I I no longer dare to contact her, even Tiya, I deliberately kept a distance."
Zhou Li simply sat cross-legged. He raised his head and stared at the strange white space. A calm voice slowly sounded.
"now I understand."
"I understand what you want to say to me."
