The light was getting closer.
Xie Tian took a closer look and felt that it was a pure and extremely dazzling ray of light …
It was as if it was a light.
But it also seemed to contain the most profound secrets of the world.
The brilliant light was made up of countless flashes.
Every time it flickered, it would emit a trace of life aura.
But Xie Tian couldn't understand the way this life was expressed.
He tried to observe this light from a more microscopic perspective …
But he couldn't do anything.
So he thought about it and reached out to touch this light …
Then, he felt that he had come back to life and turned into an old woman.
The old woman was very old.
Lying on the bed, her whole body exuded the aura of death.
Xie Tian knew about death very well.
Therefore, he was able to accurately determine that this "self" could probably live for another twenty-three breaths.
What could he do in 23 breaths?
Just as Xie Tian was thinking about this …
Wild laughter came from outside the house, sounding a little vague.
At this time, Xie Tian remembered to look around.
This was not a shabby house suitable for a dying old woman, but an extremely luxurious palace, with a strong atmosphere in the golden splendor.
The bed was not made of rotten wood. It was about six meters in circumference and could be said to be the largest bed he had ever seen in his life.
On both sides of the bed, there were two candles. The whale oil on the candles burned brightly, and the fragrance filled the air.
Under the candles, there were two rows of maids in revealing clothes. Each of them was beautiful, with their hands crossed on their abdomens and their heads bowed to show respect.
Xie Tian didn't know how many maids there were in the main hall.
Because when his line of sight extended to the area near the door of the hall, the person who laughed wildly walked in with the sound of clashing armor.
No wonder it was vague.
The main hall was too big.
Just as Xie Tian was thinking about this …
"Haha, Mother, I heard from the imperial doctor that you are beyond cure. I have come to see you!"
After saying that, the person stopped and looked at the scholar with a feather fan behind him. He asked doubtfully, "Should I cry?"
"Your Highness, can you guarantee that you won't cry in the time it takes to pee?"
"What a joke!"
"Then don't cry …" The middle-aged scholar added, "But don't laugh, it's not good."
"Haha, I understand … Oh no, I understand, I understand, haha …"
…
Hearing this, Xie Tian knew that this was a melodramatic palace drama.
The emperor must have died a long time ago.
The Empress and the Crown Prince seemed to have turned against the imperial power.
One was old, the other young.
For the old to be able to live to this day, it was definitely because he was old and in power.
The young couldn't seize power, so the only way was to wait for the old to die.
And now, it was time for the new to replace the old.
At this time, there was no need to do anything at all. Just as the middle-aged scholar had said, there was no need to cry. Everything would change in the time it took to pee.
His estimation of time was quite accurate …
When Xie Tian thought about this, he felt bored.
A huge net that covered more than half of the palace fell from the sky.
The four sides of the giant net were filled with glittering golden lights.
This was the main reason why the palace was so dazzling …
But at this moment, Xie Tian found that these lights were made of gold, and they were solid.
So the giant net fell so fast that the soldiers behind the Crown Prince had no time to react.
But they were excellent soldiers.
So the moment they were covered by the giant net, they drew their swords and sabers …
But a group of soldiers as excellent as them rushed out from behind the giant bed. And these soldiers didn't hold swords or sabers, but bows and crossbows.
No one gave the order.
No one laughed at the dumbfounded Crown Prince and the others.
No one paid attention to the middle-aged scholar's sorrowful cry — the Empress wanted to end the royal bloodline.
Whoosh …
Puff, puff, puff …
When the old woman had six breaths left to live, the golden light in the palace was reflected in the dark red on the ground.
"Is the edict ready?"
"Your Highness, please have a look."
Xie Tian saw a name written on the edict opened by the two maids.
A woman's name.
The Crown Prince was dead.
He passed the throne to the Eldest Princess.
Even though he had jumped out of the secular world …
But Xie Tian was still slightly stunned.
Then, his vision went dark and then bright, and he returned to the darkness of nothingness.
The light that his right hand touched had disappeared at some point.
He was still immersed in this extremely short period of remaining life.
He thought it was a boring melodrama, but he didn't expect the final development to be beyond his expectation —
After all, an autocratic Empress killed the Crown Prince when she was dying and passed the throne to the Eldest Princess. It required not only courage, but also courage.
Even Shenshao didn't have this kind of courage …
Otherwise, this wise Emperor wouldn't have treated his Crown Prince with a fluke, so that he died in the end.
After breaking free from the remaining life, Xie Tian's thoughts also returned to the darkness of nothingness.
"Is it the divine soul …"
Recalling the light he had just touched, as well as what he had seen and heard after touching it, he subconsciously drew this experience closer to the legendary cycle of reincarnation, the soul, and the netherworld.
"But if it's the divine soul, why did I only see and hear the last twenty-three breaths of her life …"
"If it's not the divine soul, then what is it …"
…
There were too many doubts.
But in the end, his thoughts reached the most tempting question —
"This light, where did it go …"
To be precise, where did the light that he touched go with the death of the old woman?
Looking around, there were countless bright spots, flickering.
Seeing this scene, Xie Tian was a little stunned.
"Illusion …"
It seemed that with the death of the old woman, this light, disappeared.
This was the only explanation.
But …
"Is reincarnation like this?"
Xie Tian wasn't sure.
And the word "not sure" meant that what he suddenly realized was not accurate.
So he sorted out his emotions and walked toward the nearest bright spot.
This time, he didn't rashly touch the second light in front of him, but focused on looking at it.
Although his first experience told him that sizing her up wasn't of any use …
But he felt that he could at least have a general feeling about the light.
And this feeling might be the judgment standard that he could rely on after experiencing the second life.
Even though there was no passage of time here, Xie Tian felt that he had been looking at it for at least ten years.
Until the light in front of him was similar to the brightness of the first light, he touched the light with a new guess.
Not long after …
The light disappeared.
He also walked out of the second life.
"Twenty-nine breaths …"
The second life, twenty-nine breaths, was indeed similar to the rest of the life of the first old woman.
"So, the brightness of the light represents the lifespan of a person …"
"The death of a person brings the death of the light …"
