The dreamland twisted, shattered, and disappeared …
Liu Yiqian woke up from his dream and opened his eyes. He found that he was no longer on Crouching Dragon Island, nor was he in Ten Thousand Treasure Hall. Instead, he had landed on a mountain peak on an unknown desolate island. Above him was a blue sky and white clouds. Below him was a boundless sea. Crouching Dragon Island had already disappeared from the sea, leaving only a shadow behind. The distance between him and Crouching Dragon Island had not gotten closer, but farther.
The sun set on the horizon, sprinkling golden light on the sea. It was mournful yet magnificent.
Xia Pingan was sitting cross-legged beside him. The cage that held Liu Yiqian was gone. He was lying on the ground beside him, having regained his freedom.
Liu Yiqian was shocked at first, but then he completely calmed down. He glanced at Xia Pingan and found that Xia Pingan was calmly looking at him. His eyes were like a lake, calm, without joy or anger. It was completely different from before.
Liu Yiqian got up and didn't run anymore. Instead, he sat beside Xia Pingan.
A man and a monkey sitting on a mountain peak, enjoying the sea breeze. This scene was quite poetic.
Seeing the scene before him, a smile appeared on the corners of Liu Yiqian's mouth. Liu Yiqian first chuckled, then laughed loudly. There was no longer any fear on his face. Instead, it was as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders, as if he had breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Ha … Hahaha … Hahahaha … Life is like a dream … Sure enough, life is like a dream … Liu Yiqian's dream of becoming a god ends here today. It's not unjust, it's not unjust!" Liu Yiqian looked at the sunset scenery of the Undying Sea with nostalgia. He took a deep breath and asked Xia Pingan, "That secret technique of yours even caused me to fall for it again. It's too strange, making people unknowingly fall into a dreamland. Which realm pearl did you obtain this secret technique from? What's its name?"
"This secret technique is called the Dream Creation Technique. It doesn't come from a realm pearl, but from the Spiritual Realm!" Xia Pingan said very calmly.
"Spiritual Realm, no wonder!" Liu Yiqian smiled. That smile was free and at ease. His expression was already relieved. "The Ruler of Demon God spent so much effort to kill you. It seems like there's a reason we don't know. You do have a big secret!"
"Actually, I'm also confused!" Xia Pingan spoke calmly as if he was chatting with a friend. At the same time, he looked at the sea in the distance, "I just want my world to be free from space invasion. I want my friends, sister and countless ordinary people to not live in fear and to be able to smile sincerely. I don't want those kids to have to learn how to hide in shelters. I like to see those kids running freely and happily on the lawn without any worries. I have the same pursuit as those people in Wan Shen Sect. I don't know why the ruler of the demon god is so obsessed with me, a space-walker. I have to kill you as soon as possible!"
"You don't know either?" Liu Yiqian turned and asked.
"No, I don't know either. By the way, how do you know that I'm Xia Pingan?"
Liu Yiqian said with a smile, "I didn't believe it at the beginning. I thought what you said was true. However, one night, I suddenly thought of a problem. What if what I believed in was wrong? Others couldn't spit out the soul-stealing venomous insect that had entered their stomach. But what if Xia Pingan could do that? If Xia Pingan was like an ordinary person, why would the Ruler of Demon God spend so much effort to kill him?"
"Right!" Xia Pingan nodded.
"The moment this whim appeared in my mind, I couldn't get rid of it. I deduced according to this whim and understood many things at once. Finally, I came to the conclusion that you're Xia Pingan. It was you who lured me to fight Bloody Demon Church with the soul-stealing venomous insect that you spat out. Closely after that, you set a trap for me when I was severely injured. Finally, you wanted to subdue me and have me serve you. Of course, I'm not 100% sure; I'm only 70% sure!"
After being silent for a short while, Xia Pingan nodded, "I underestimated all the heroes in the world. I thought that I didn't have any loophole; I've not imagined that you could discover it!"
Liu Yiqian smiled, "It's not your fault. Ordinary people wouldn't have thought of it. However, people like me have seen all kinds of insidious and cunning people and experienced all kinds of situations. I've escaped from death countless times to reach where I am today. I've long been a wily old fox. I don't believe in anyone except myself. My mind is filled with thoughts of becoming a god. In order to become a god, I can do anything. Therefore, I have to seize the opportunity to fight for it! In the worst case, I'll prove that I'm wrong and start over again. As long as I'm alive, I can earn back what I've lost … "
"Hmm, yes, as long as I'm alive, there's hope! However, is it really that important for you to become a god? "
Liu Yiqian looked into the distance and suddenly sighed as a disappointed look appeared on his face, "My father is a policeman, a competent policeman, a good policeman. When I was young, I actually wanted to be a policeman. That year, when my father went out for an inspection, he found a corpse of a little girl who had just passed away in the trunk of a luxury car. There were also drugs. My father caught the driver and brought him to the police station. He detained the car and reported it to the higher-ups. Guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
"It's because my father didn't know that the owner of the luxury car was the mayor's son. The chauffeur he detained was the mayor's son's chauffeur. That night, when my father returned home and was having dinner, a group of assassins barged into our house. Those people killed my father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, two sisters, and a four-year-old brother. Then, they set my house on fire."
Liu Yiqian spoke as if he was talking about someone else's matter. The expression on his face seemed to be reminiscing, "That year, I was only eight years old. The next day, the luxury car that my father detained disappeared from the police station. The little girl's corpse and the drugs disappeared. The police chief said that my father had a mental problem because of the stress from work and was prone to violence. My father killed his family after returning home and then committed suicide. In just two days, all the media reported that my father committed suicide due to mental illness. A psychiatrist said that my father often went to him for treatment. My father's colleagues were interviewed and also said that my father had a mental problem. These people later got promoted and became rich …"
"From then on, I understood that in this world, there are actually only two kinds of people. One kind of people, they think they're humans, but in fact, they're just ants that look like humans. The other kind of people are people who can decide the fate of ants!" Liu Yiqian turned his head to look at Xia Pingan and asked very seriously, "I just don't want to be an ant anymore. Is that wrong?"
"That's right!" Xia Pingan nodded his head.
"Later on, I exterminated all of those people. A total of 17 families, 281 men and women. I didn't let any of them go. I captured all of them, locked them in the dungeon, and tortured them to death for half a year before it was over …" Liu Yiqian revealed a chilling smile, "I feel that it's better to die in the hands of someone who can become a god than to die in the hands of a nobody. At least it's more glorious. If someone more powerful than me, Liu Yiqian, was sacrificed by others, it would make me look too incompetent. Remember, you'd better not be sacrificed by others. Otherwise, I won't be happy even if I become a ghost!"
"To be honest, I also want to try becoming a god. Only by becoming a god can I destroy the Dark Tower!"
"Finally, I'll give you a suggestion. Hurry up and leave the Undead Sea. It's getting more and more dangerous for you. It's meaningless for you to stay here. Last time, when I fought with the Blood Demon Church, those people from the Blood Demon Church would definitely guess that you were the one behind it. Your whereabouts have already been exposed. All the demigods are stronger than you think, and their means are unpredictable. They're definitely above you!"
"Okay, I got it!"
After saying this, Liu Yiqian looked at the setting sun on the sea with a calm expression. His eyes were filled with nostalgia as he muttered to himself, "I didn't have the mood to look at it before, but now I realize that this sunset is actually quite beautiful!"
Xia Pingan didn't say anything. He just sat quietly on the mountain peak and watched the magnificent sunset slowly sink into the sea.
When the last rays of the setting sun disappeared from the surface of the sea and the world was shrouded in darkness, a flame gushed out from the ground beside Xia Pingan. The monkey sitting beside him was turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
When the sea breeze blew over, the ashes dissipated in the sea breeze as if they had never existed.
Xia Pingan got up and soared into the sky. His figure instantly melted into the night.
