Time could actually pass so slowly. In the blank world, it was as if a century had passed.
"Cher …" What did you say … "What did you say …" I didn't hear you … "Ye Wuchen's unfocused eyes looked at Ningxue in the sky. His mind was so blank that he almost couldn't feel his own existence.
"The awakening of the Black Profound God has caused the White Profound God to have a chaotic consciousness. Although I have occupied the space of his consciousness, I am no longer able to interfere with his actions. Even my existence cannot be maintained for too long … Not too long after, my consciousness will be swallowed up by his own consciousness. When that time comes, everything will be irreparable. As long as I can still exist in his consciousness, my life and death will decide his life and death. When I die, the White Profound God will also dissipate because of my death … It will dissipate into the most natural power of light and will not explode … If the White Profound God disappears, the Black Profound God who is far away in the Demon Continent will also turn into the elements of darkness and death and disappear, and Oculum, who has yet to completely fuse with the Black Profound God, will be saved … She will replace me and forever stay by Big Brother's side. "
Ye Wuchen, "..."
"Big brother, the current me has already lost the freedom of my body. Otherwise, I really want to kill myself … Big brother, the only person I can rely on and trust is you. Only by dying in big brother's hands, I am willing … The selfish me can only think of such a method."
"No …" "No …" Ye Wuchen knelt on the ground as if he had collapsed. Then, he suddenly let out a frenzied shout: "No! Cher! What nonsense are you saying … I won't allow you to die! You are not allowed to die! You just promised me … that you'll never leave me. You just promised me. "
"Brother …" The soft voice finally had a mournful sob, "I really want to never leave you, but if I can exchange myself for Oculum, for the home where you and I have so many beautiful memories, I am willing … Brother, my consciousness … is already being suppressed, there is only one minute left … Everything will be too late … Brother, please … kill me … Otherwise, Oculum and I will both die, and the Tianchen Continent will be destroyed … Brother …"
"If I were an ordinary girl, how great would that be? That way, I wouldn't have to care about everything, and would only think about the happiness of staying by my brother's side … But I don't regret it, because I'm Princess White, the Sacred Pearl of Light and Life, so I can save my brother, save all the people he cares about, save the entire Tianchen Continent … Save my brother and my forever home … This beautiful world …"
"Promise me …"
"Forget Cher … You have Oculum to accompany you in place of Cher, and so many big sisters to accompany you in place of Cher. You have to smile and be happy forever …"
"Forever …"
"…"
Ningxue's voice became weak, until it could no longer be heard clearly.
"No! Cher … Why! Why me … Why me!! "
Killing Cher with his own hands was too cruel to him. It was more cruel than killing him, more cruel than cutting his body and heart thousands of times.
"Why can't I die … Why can't it be me! Xue 'er … answer me, answer me! "
In the white world, he knelt down heavily on the ground, letting the heart-wrenching tears flow down crazily. He, who had only shed tears for Ning Xue once, was once again crying bitterly for her. In this world, what could be more cruel than despair, more cruel than pain?
Ningxue floated there quietly. Perhaps, she could hear his voice, but she couldn't give him an answer.
One minute, very very short …
Kill Ningxue, Oculum can be saved, Tianchen Continent can be saved …
Otherwise, everything will be destroyed.
But, how could he kill Ningxue with his own hands? He would rather kill himself than hurt her forever.
"Cher … Why do you want me to make this choice … Don't you know, it's too cruel … to me …"
"Since today has come, why did we meet back then? Since we met, why did we have to separate … And why do I have to kill you with my own hands … What is this … What is this!!"
In the white world, only his cries and roars could be heard. Ningxue was right in front of him, her figure was slowly dimming … She was so fragile, as long as Ye Wuchen made a move, he could erase her existence … But, how could he do it, how could he kill his Cher with his own hands?
"Cher, you are my only Cher … Why did you choose to kill yourself for Tianchen Continent … And why did you push this choice to me so cruelly … I am just a human, a very small human being, I am not a hero, I am not a savior … What does the destruction of Tianchen Continent have to do with me, what does it have to do with us if everyone dies? Why did you sacrifice my Cher … Why did it have to be like this, why did it have to be like this!!"
The great pain almost made his mind collapse. If he didn't kill Ningxue, everything would be destroyed, Tianchen Continent would turn into ashes, and everyone there would die … Everyone. If he killed Ningxue, he could save the whole Tianchen Continent, he could save the world that was exchanged with Ningxue's life, he could save himself, he could save countless lives.
But why did he have to exchange all of this with Ningxue's life!?
But if he killed Ningxue with his own hands, how could he face and finish the rest of his life … Ningxue was dead, killed by him with his own hands, no matter how peaceful his future life was, there would always be a huge cloud of pain entrenched in his heart, and it would never disappear, not even for a second, not even for a lifetime.
But, without that future, he couldn't do it, even if the continent was destroyed, he still couldn't do it. In the chaotic sea of consciousness that was on the verge of collapse, there was only Ningxue's crying and laughing, her tears and her voice … He didn't know when it started, but she had become a part of his life … No, she was even more important than his life.
Time flowed, and it was impossible to go back. Ningxue's figure slowly faded, and she floated there in a sacred posture, her expression was calm and peaceful, and on her snow-white face, there were still faint traces of tears.
"Master … Master! Don't hesitate anymore, Mysterious God Bai's consciousness has already started to sway, if you don't … everything will be too late. She will die, Master will die, everyone will die … Master! "
But no matter how Nan 'er called out, no matter how loudly she screamed, Ye Wuchen didn't respond at all. He knelt on the ground, raised his head, and stared blankly at Ningxue in the sky, as if he wanted to carve her figure in his heart forever — it was a beautiful and poignant scene.
A beam of golden light suddenly shot out from Ye Wuchen's body, shooting straight towards Ningxue in the sky. At this moment, Ye Wuchen, whose consciousness was in a mess, suddenly moved. He used his will to firmly guide the direction of the Star Slashing Sword, reached out his hand, and grasped it tightly in his hand.
"Master …" Nan 'er shouted anxiously and apprehensively.
"Nan 'er, listen." Ye Wuchen's eyes were empty and without any color, and his voice was calm, so calm that Nan 'er was afraid, "If you dare to hurt Cher … I will immediately accompany Cher to die in front of you … and, I will never forgive you."
"Wah … Wah!" The extremely wronged Nan 'er started to cry miserably, "Master, you will die, you will die …"
Nan 'er didn't care about anyone's life or death. Even if the Tianchen Continent was destroyed and everyone there died, she wouldn't feel the slightest bit of heartache. The only person she cared about was Ye Wuchen. Because ever since she recognized Ye Wuchen as her master, he had become all her hope and trust. Everyone else could die, but he couldn't.
"Die? Is death really that scary? " Ye Wuchen's hand that was holding the sword dropped, and a smile suddenly appeared on his calm face. It was a kind of smile that dispelled all the pain and apprehension in his heart. He looked at Ningxue in the sky and said softly, "Destroy … Destroy everything … Since you have made such a selfish choice, then I will accompany you … to make an even more selfish choice …"
"Destroy everything … If living can only lead to endless pain, then destroy everything … There will be no sadness, no pain, no torture … Cher, I can't protect you in this world … But no matter which world you go to, I will always be with you, and I won't let you be lonely …"
He smiled, but his tears were like a spring. This was the second time that he cried, but it was the first time that he cried with a smile, relieved and sad …
Perhaps, this will be the cruelest, most selfish, and most wrong choice in my life. So many people will die because of this choice of mine. Parents, friends … His wife, his friends … and countless people and creatures he didn't know.
But looking at the most beautiful Cher in the world, I will never be able to do it …
I will never be able to!
If the person there was me, and the person who made the choice was Cher, she would definitely make the same choice as me.
Selfishness is sometimes really scary.
Since it is destined to be a wrong choice, then let it continue … Everything, destroy.
Rourou, Phoenix, Zhi Meng … If there is another world, I will use my whole life to find you, and not let you be lonely. If there is a next life, I will use everything I have to make up for what I owe you. Whether you live or die … I will be here.
"Master … Don't, Master!!"
Nan 'er finally knew what kind of choice Ye Wuchen had made. Her voice was trembling, and the current her felt a kind of pain and fear that she had never felt before.
"I'm sorry, Nan 'er." Ye Wuchen closed his eyes, feeling the slight trembling of the white world around him: "I have failed to live up to your expectations … Ha, Zhan Xing and Calamity recognized me as their Master in order for me to defeat that powerful Devil Soul that is hiding somewhere. I can't even protect the most important person in my life, so why, and what qualifications do I have to accept this mission. These are not important to me, not important at all. Whether that Devil Soul exists or disappears, what does it have to do with me … "
"Master …" Hearing his calm voice, feeling his deathly still heart, Nan 'er really wanted to cry, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't cry.
He floated up, floating in front of Ningxue, quietly looking at her quiet face, his gaze was so gentle. He leaned closer to her, gently kissed her beautiful illusory face, and smiled softly: "Cher, I know you can hear my voice, don't be afraid … No matter where you go, I will always be with you …"
The world around them had already changed from trembling to trembling, the white world seemed like it would collapse at any moment. And Ningxue's figure also began to dim, perhaps in the next second, she would disappear from his eyes.
Tears wet each other's faces, he never thought that one day he would be able to shed tears so freely, he didn't know whether it was tears of pain, tears of hatred, or tears of regret …
