Just as Su Zimo was at a loss, his heart skipped a beat.
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo was surprised.
He had sensed the existence of Wu Dao's main body once more!
However, Wu Dao's main body was in a strange state. He seemed to be in a daze and had yet to wake up.
Su Zimo tried to call out to Wu Dao's main body several times before he slowly woke up.
…
In the endless starry sky.
Wu Dao's main body stood motionless.
Although he had regained consciousness and sensed the existence of Qinglian's main body, his expression was still a little blank under the Mo Luo Mask, as if he was trying hard to recall something.
Just now, he was chased by an Emperor of the Heavenly Courts and saw a white pheasant. For some reason, he seemed to have entered an unfamiliar world.
Wu Dao's main body tried hard to recall everything he had experienced in that world.
For some reason, he could not recall most of the situations in that experience no matter how hard he tried.
He could only vaguely recall some fragments intermittently.
It was a terrifying world that he had never seen before!
In that world, black and white were inverted. The people living there could not tell right from wrong, were apathetic, and were cold and heartless …
Wu Dao's main body lost all his strength in that world and became a mortal once more.
There seemed to be an invisible power there that prevented anyone from cultivating.
It was the same for him.
That place was filled with lies. Every person who spoke the truth would face immense danger and endure countless attacks, curses, and bites before they were drowned in the vast crowd.
That place was filled with cruelty and violence. Every kind person lived carefully, as if they were walking on thin ice.
If they accidentally showed their kindness, they would be surrounded and attacked by villains!
That place was filled with darkness and ugliness. There was no warmth or beauty.
There was no justice and evil ran amok there.
He saw people in trouble and tried to help, but he was dragged into the abyss instead.
He saw a group of weak people bound by chains, kneeling on the ground and being whipped and enslaved. He wanted to step forward and undo their shackles.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped forward, those people's originally apathetic faces suddenly turned ferocious and their eyes glowed red.
Their seemingly weak bodies suddenly erupted with immense strength as they pressed him to the ground and broke his knees. They shouted angrily, "We're all kneeling, why are you standing!?"
Wu Dao's main body did not fit in here.
He struggled to survive in this world, running into walls everywhere and covered in wounds, but he never gave up.
He vaguely remembered that he had saved a homeless little girl named Ah Xie who had been wandering around the world.
In that world, he had saved many people, but she was the only one who did not harm him in the end.
He and the little girl depended on each other for survival. They seemed to have lived together for a very, very long time, until he finally grew old …
He could not cultivate and had a lifespan of a hundred years...
In his memory, when his hair was white and he had one foot in the grave, that little girl seemed to still be by his side.
He didn't know if there was something wrong with his memory or if there was some other reason.
In his mind, the little girl had never grown up.
Or rather, she had never changed.
She was still the same as when they first met. She was thin and skinny, wearing a worn out shirt that was washed white.
In his hundred years of life, he had done many things that did not fit in with that world.
Even though he had paid a huge price, but when he grew old, he was magnanimous and had a clear conscience.
Every time he saved someone, the girl would watch silently from the side. She did not help, nor did she stop him. She was completely uninvolved.
The two of them would occasionally have some conversations.
One day.
Ah Xie said, "If someone is in trouble, isn't it good to just stand by and watch?"
Wu Dao's main body was silent for a long time before he said, "If I stand by and watch, when I'm in trouble, don't expect anyone to help me."
"I'm saving people, but I'm also saving myself."
Ah Xie clapped her hands and laughed, "This is a very simple principle, but unfortunately, they don't understand."
Another day.
Ah Xie suddenly asked, "Do you think they are people? If they are, why do they have no humanity? "
Wu Dao's main body was silent.
Ah Xie continued, "When they see others in trouble, they will either laugh or hit them when they are down, or they will choose to remain silent. Why don't they understand that one day, they will also have to bear this pain?"
"They will always have a fluke mentality, thinking that they can escape. But karma, the cycle of heaven, who can escape?"
Ah Xie said to herself at the side.
After an unknown period of time, Ah Xie suddenly said hatefully, "They are a group of beasts!"
In the boundless starry sky.
Wu Dao's main body suddenly felt a headache, his body swaying slightly.
He took a deep breath, stopped thinking, and gradually calmed down.
He found out from Qinglian's main body that only a day had passed since he entered that world.
And in that world, he had spent a hundred years, lived a lifetime!
This difference in time made him feel a little lost.
The hundred years of life in that world was like a bizarre and absurd dream that seemed both real and illusory.
Wu Dao's main body looked around. His position had not changed.
It was as if he had never left this place.
However, the Heavenly Court's Emperor who was chasing after him had disappeared.
Wu Dao's main body thought carefully. In that world, he seemed to have seen the figure of the Heavenly Court's Emperor in a crowd.
However, the Heavenly Court's Emperor was the same as him, a mortal.
As for the rest, Wu Dao's main body could no longer remember.
Nothing around him had changed.
Wu Dao's main body clenched his fists slightly and murmured, "Could it really be just a dream?"
At this moment, he suddenly felt as if there was something strange in his palm. Only when he clenched his fist did he realize it.
Wu Dao's main body looked down.
Unknowingly, a white jade pendant had appeared in his palm.
This seemed to be Ah Xie's.
Looking at this jade pendant, he vaguely remembered some things about Ah Xie.
To be precise, this jade pendant was the last gift Ah Xie's father had left her.
Ah Xie's father had passed away early and she did not have any clear memories of him.
The only memory she had was this jade pendant that her father had left her.
Ah Xie valued this jade pendant very much and always wore it close to her body.
When the two of them first met, Ah Xie was severely injured and did not seem to have much time left.
She asked Wu Dao's main body to bring her to see her mother.
Ah Xie had originally planned to give the jade pendant to her mother and tell her that her daughter was seriously injured and might not make it. If she died, she could sell the jade pendant and get some money to help her bury her daughter. There would still be a lot left.
Unexpectedly, just as Ah Xie opened her mouth and said that her daughter was sick, her mother's face was full of disdain and she kept waving her hand to interrupt her. "I don't have money, I don't have money to treat your injuries. Sickly person, leave quickly, don't die here!"
"How can there be such a heartless mother in this world!"
Wu Dao's main body was furious. Looking at the sickly Ah Xie in his arms, he felt a wave of heartache. He carried Ah Xie and turned to leave, saying loudly to Ah Xie, "Don't worry, no matter if you die or live in the future, I will accompany you!"
