In the relic.
Under the leadership of Fang Qiu, everyone continued to climb the Sky Ladder.
Because standing in the front, Fang Qiu took a step toward the new Sky Ladder in front of him under everyone's gaze.
He stepped down.
Everything around him instantly changed into another scene.
In front of him, there was smoke.
The thick white fog covered up everything, making it impossible to see what was going on. It was like a mass of chaos.
And in it.
Even before he had time to see the situation around him clearly, Fang Qiu's consciousness suddenly went blank. Or he had lost himself. He didn't even know who he was.
It seemed that this space had a special ability to return everything to zero, wiping everything into a blank.
Although he lost his consciousness.
But his heart was still there.
Fang Qiu could still clearly hear his own heartbeat. He could also feel a desire that was struggling madly in his heart, trying to rush out.
It was a desire that, he didn't know why, but it could give him endless strength!
And when the restless heart was controlling its own actions, it was like a dream.
Everything in front of him.
Suddenly there was a big change.
The thick white fog dispersed, and in the originally lonely and empty space, people suddenly appeared, one after another, densely packed. In the blink of an eye, these people filled the entire space.
"Help us, help us!"
"As long as you die, we can live."
"If you die, can you save thousands of us?"
"Will you save us or not?"
Miserable cries for help came one after another.
The scene in front of him.
With the appearance of these cries for help, it changed again.
Looking carefully.
Right in front of Fang Qiu, the ground suddenly caved in, and bright red magma gushed out of the west. The magma was like boiling water, constantly boiling, and suffocating hot air came. It was a very depressing fear that made people want to retreat.
And on the other side.
There were thousands of people, like Fang Qiu, standing on the edge of this crater.
Each of their faces was very indifferent, but there was a pleading look in their eyes. Their feet were moving. With one step forward, they fell into the crater.
At the moment of falling, the indifference on their faces suddenly disappeared, replaced by panic and fear, and loud cries for help.
"Save me, save me!"
Seeing this scene, Fang Qiu, whose mind was blank, suddenly felt as if his heart was pricked by a needle.
"How? How do I save you?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"Jump."
All the people standing at the crater said to Fang Qiu, "Jump down. If you die, we can live."
Fang Qiu turned his head numbly.
Looking into the crater of the volcano, he could see the boiling magma and the heat from the ruins.
His heart was filled with extreme fear.
However …
What was even more frightening than fear was the piercing sensation he felt just now. It was as if a needle had pierced into his heart, causing him great pain.
That feeling was worse than death.
"Shua."
There was no hesitation.
Fang Qiu spread his hands and closed his eyes. He fell forward and quickly fell into the magma.
Hot air.
Before he even landed, his clothes were burnt and his hair was burnt off. The moment he came into contact with the lava, he was instantly melted by the heat, revealing his flesh and bones.
At this moment.
An irresistible look of pain appeared on Fang Qiu's face.
But in the next moment …
Plop!
His whole body fell into the magma.
Under the powerful and terrible heat, he was instantly burned and evaporated into ashes!
He was dead!
But …
He could still see the magma. He could still see this space. He could still see everything he wanted to see. But there was no pain and he didn't have to make a choice.
Gradually.
It suddenly became dark around him.
Between heaven and earth, there was a beam of light falling and shining on him.
Everything in front of him changed.
The magma, the crater, and the dense crowd of people all disappeared.
Looking around.
It was unbearably dark and frighteningly quiet.
Fang Qiu turned his head and looked around.
Suddenly.
He saw something.
It was not an idea. He didn't know where it came from.
He only glanced at it, and the thought appeared in his mind. Then, it kept getting bigger and bigger. He didn't want to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it, but the thought kept running in his mind. He couldn't stop thinking about it.
He wanted to escape. He wanted to throw the idea away. He didn't want to think about it.
Then.
He looked for something else in this space, trying to divert his attention.
He found it.
It was another idea.
At the same time he saw it, the second idea also appeared in his mind. Just like the first one, from the moment it appeared, the idea kept enlarging.
The two ideas didn't stop and kept enlarging. Even if he forced himself not to think about it, he couldn't control himself at all. He was still thinking about it.
He tried to divert his attention again and saw the third idea.
Then, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth …
Just like that.
It kept repeating.
He didn't know how long it had been.
Fang Qiu felt that his head was about to be squeezed. Eighty-four thousand ideas were infinitely magnified in his mind, supporting his head so that he didn't even have the strength to think. A feeling of being torn came and almost made his whole head explode.
Fang Qiu clenched his teeth tightly. There was a heavy gasp from his mouth as he tried to suppress his anger. He clenched his fists so tightly that even his short nails pierced into the flesh of his palm because of the action of clenching his fists.
This pitch-black space was surrounded by all sides.
All kinds of thoughts kept appearing in his mind, one after another. They were like eyes. As long as he saw them, they would happily rush towards him and enter his mind.
Fang Qiu could only close his eyes.
He knew.
If it went on like this, he would be enslaved by these endless thoughts and become a walking corpse. So he had to close his eyes.
Calm down.
He needed to calm down!
Feeling the swelling of his head, feeling the kind of long-term insomnia, he couldn't control his thoughts and thoughts at all.
Fang Qiu took a deep breath.
He decided.
He didn't want to escape or face it.
These thoughts were magnified by themselves. He would let them magnify themselves and let them ferment.
Finally, when he let out a long breath, Fang Qiu suddenly had a feeling.
That was a kind of.
He had clearly experienced this feeling before.
It seemed to be accompanied by a cool breeze. He also took a deep breath and let it out.
When was it?
Fang Qiu thought.
It was not the scene when he experienced the Beginning of Autumn Solar Term on the first 24 steps.
At that time.
The white dew had just passed. The remaining power of summer was still there, but the cool breeze had already blown in the air.
He sighed. The season passed too quickly. Before the scorching sun of summer could fall, the cool breeze of autumn had already arrived. However, the appearance of the cool breeze seemed so appropriate. It swept away all the heat of summer and made people feel incomparably comfortable.
Fang Qiu recalled that scene.
He saw the withered and yellow parasol leaves falling with the wind all over the sky.
At that time.
He only knew to sigh about the time.
Now, when he recalled the scene at that time, Fang Qiu suddenly had an epiphany.
"The autumn wind and fallen leaves are piled up in a mess. Sweeping them away, they come back thousands of times. Let them fall to the ground and turn into ashes!"
Fang Qiu smiled.
He opened his eyes.
He was no longer afraid of this dark space. He was no longer afraid of the countless pairs of eyes hidden in the dark. He was no longer afraid of the thoughts represented by these eyes.
The thoughts had never come and gone.
Let them live and perish!
The smile at the corner of his mouth widened.
The eyes that represented the thoughts in the surrounding space all closed, and the place became quiet again. There was nothing.
The eighty-four thousand thoughts in his mind also disappeared.
Everything returned to the original.
It looked blank.
But the next moment.
Just when Fang Qiu was about to take a break.
The third test came.
The scene in front of him repeated.
This was a scene of daily work. There were work that must be done, things that must be done, all kinds of conflicts, and all kinds of communication.
Fang Qiu, who was blank, blended into it and lived a normal life.
Every day.
He insisted on getting up at the same time, running, and going to work.
No matter how busy he was, he would not hesitate for half a minute.
Later.
This small world gradually changed under Fang Qiu's way of living. He got a lot of money and became a successful man. There was more money coming to him, some black and some white, some that should be taken and some that should not be taken. In the end, Fang Qiu only took the part that belonged to him.
Life went on.
Fang Qiu understood.
This was a test.
The first test was to test his body and his mercy.
The second test was a test of his spiritual power and his ability to support himself.
The third test was to test his habits of life, the temptation of money, women, fame, delicious food, and the degree of being too tired to move. He could enjoy lying in bed, but he still had to get up and work.
One scene after another.
One by one.
All kinds of temptations grew from all kinds of dirty corners, like tentacles trying to drag Fang Qiu into the darkness.
However, Fang Qiu was still unmoved.
Do what you should do, take what you should take, and don't take anything extra!
One year.
After a year of life, the world collapsed without the slightest deviation.
This time.
The world was not changing. It did not return to the original misty world, nor did it return to a dark and extremely quiet space.
Fang Qiu was still living in this world.
But.
He was no longer a person who could live a full year, but a person who was lying on a bed, in a state of near death.
He knew clearly that he was going to die.
He could feel the trembling of his soul. He could feel the panic and fear in the face of death.
His body began to hurt, and thoughts began to appear in his mind. The desire in his heart grew wildly. Everything that he had lived perfectly before came back.
