Sure enough, it was the same as before. They had clearly entered the castle, but the internal defense could be said to be surprisingly weak. Not to mention the current Xu Shenxing, even the dragon brother Ao Li should be able to break through as long as he was well prepared.
But the deeper they went, the more obvious the distinctive aura became.
According to the normal walking speed, it would take at least several months or even years to walk from the entrance to the center of the castle.
But just like other places in the Great Demonic Realm, the world inside the castle was also distorted, and this distortion was probably deliberately made by the 'people' living in it to facilitate movement.
As long as the people walking in it had a clear goal, the castle would deflect the space at the beginning and end of the aisles leading to that area, connecting them together so that people could get to where they wanted to go in the shortest possible distance.
Logically speaking, this ability could also be used in defense, so that intruders could only stay in one place forever. But for some reason, whether it was in the past or now, Xu Shenxing did not seem to be regarded as an intruder by the castle. The power still provided him with services.
"We're here, it's here."
After walking for a few hours, an antique metal door appeared in front of the two of them.
Although it could not be compared with the wooden door outside, which was more than 1,800 meters high, the height of this door was still enough for the two to look up.
The final demon king, as well as the existence that made Xu Shenxing feel a little afraid, was inside.
However, just when Xu Shenxing put his hands on the door and was about to push it open, something strange happened.
Through the sunlight shining through the skylight, it could be seen that the dust that was originally flying in the air had stopped. Along with them, there were also the flames on both sides of the corridor that looked like upside-down towers, and Chihaya Fukayama, who was blinking halfway …
"Time stopped?" Xu Shenxing looked at everything in front of him in amazement, but then he shook his head and denied this speculation.
Although Xu Shenxing could indeed ignore almost all supernatural effects, which of course included time stop, to be immune to this level of attack, Xu Shenxing could still feel it. The current situation was almost certainly different from a normal time stop attack.
"That's not right. Rather than saying that time has stopped, it's more accurate to say that this dream has stopped …"
He glanced at Chihaya Fukayama, who had a funny expression on his face, and seemed to understand something.
Mo Li wouldn't do something like this himself. In other words, the one who did this was the guy inside? The other party's goal was probably to prevent the young girl from entering the hall with them.
After all, Xu Shenxing dared to guarantee that he would have punched through space and brought the girl back if he had only manipulated space to take her away.
Only the ability to make everything stop would make Old Xu helpless. After all, he was not good at magic and did not know how to dispel curses.
However, judging from the fact that the other party only stopped the dream and didn't kill Chihaya Fukayama, they should still be able to communicate.
"Pfft." The feeling of being schemed against made Xu Shenxing spit unhappily. The spit shot out faster than the speed of light and blasted a big hole in the wall. "Let me see what the hell you're doing …"
With this thought of finding fault, Xu Shenxing pushed open the metal door and walked into the hall.
The hall was just like what he had experienced in the past. There was not the slightest change. The space was wide enough to accommodate more than a dozen football fields. Huge, exquisitely decorated pillars were everywhere, and there were even some treasures that could not be found in other worlds …
If this was the real world, Xu Shenxing would probably pretend as if nothing had happened and secretly take one or two of them.
However, since this was Mo Li's dream, he could forget about such a good thing.
Continuing forward for a while, a luxurious throne that seemed to support the heavens and earth, as well as an extremely tall and sturdy figure wearing dark gold full body armor and making a posture similar to that of a Thinker, gradually emerged from the darkness and appeared in Xu Shenxing's vision.
In terms of size, Xu Shenxing was not even as big as the other party's little toe.
"I didn't expect to see this guy again … Although it's not him."
When Xu Shenxing saw the final demon king who had killed him once, he couldn't help but sigh.
However, as he continued to approach, Xu Shenxing's eyebrows gradually frowned.
— Obviously, he was already so close, but the other party still didn't react. This was obviously not right.
Could it be that even this guy was frozen with the dream?
The more Xu Shenxing thought about it, the more he felt that this was the answer. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But then, he stopped when he was about two kilometers away from the giant.
Because a little bit in front of the giant stood a figure with his back facing him.
The person's height and body shape were not much different from a normal human male. His hair was messy like a hedgehog's head.
Other than that, for some reason, he was wearing a white coat.
In fact, Xu Shenxing should have seen the other party earlier, but because of a moment of nostalgia, his attention was focused on the final demon king. Only now did he notice the person who was much smaller than the final demon king.
That was definitely the person who had brought a certain amount of pressure to Xu Shenxing from the beginning.
"Oh? You're finally here. "
At this time, the other party seemed to have noticed the existence of Xu Shenxing. While speaking, he slowly turned around.
"Long time no see … No, for you, this should be the first time we've met."
"…"
Xu Shenxing stared at the person in front of him, frowning even harder.
Although the other party was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and had heavy eye bags and dark circles under his eyes, the decadence of the other party was far beyond Xu Shenxing himself. He also looked a lot older than Xu Shenxing, and there were more or less other differences … but with that appearance, there was no doubt that the other party was also 'Xu Shenxing'.
"Don't be so vigilant. Don't worry, I don't have any hostility toward you. I believe you can see that, right?"
The other party smiled slightly. "First of all, let me introduce myself. I'm Avalon, the 'other you'. "
"… You're not the existence in this dream, are you?"
Although he had doubts just now, Xu Shenxing was almost certain of it now, judging from the other party's way of speaking and attitude.
"No, strictly speaking, my existence is indeed the person in the dream, but the essence is different … Do you know about the spell called Spirit Descent? My current state is more or less like that. From a faraway place, my consciousness has descended upon the me in this dream. "The other party said cheerfully.
"What exactly are you …?"
Xu Shenxing became even more vigilant.
"Well, to put it in a simpler way, I'm the you of another world. Although there's no direct contact before, you've also indirectly encountered a similar existence, haven't you? For example, the you who sent your disciple back to the present from ten years in the future. See that as World Line Alpha. Because of your disciple's efforts, your actions have changed the history that was originally going to happen. According to the current development of the situation, the you in ten years will definitely become a different person. This is the branch of the world. Your actions have caused the appearance of a new world line, which I'll call World Line Beta for the time being. So, will World Line Alpha disappear because of the appearance of World Line Beta? "
The other party spoke eloquently, clearly not intending to wait for Xu Shenxing's answer. "Obviously not. And my relationship with you is similar to the you of World Line Alpha who sent your disciple back to ten years in the past, and the current you of World Line Beta, although our 'branch' appeared earlier. That being said, we're still the same person, and our tastes should be similar in the beginning. I believe you've also used names like 'Xi Wei' in another world, haven't you? "
"Did you show up here just to tell me these nonsensical things?"
Xu Shenxing did not answer. He straightened out his mind and found that it was still a little messy, so he decided not to care about the nonsensical things, and went straight to the point to ask about the other party's intentions.
"I say, this doesn't seem like the attitude you're showing your savior." The person who called himself Xi Wei sighed.
"Savior?"
"Who do you think brought your corpse and that cursed sword out when you were instantly killed by this guy …" The other party pointed at the giant behind him with a thumb. "The reason I appeared in this dream is because I left an impression on that unborn girl."
"By the way, you didn't even come to help me when I was instantly killed. What kind of savior is that?!" Xu Shenxing complained.
Still, his tone was much better.
"First, I'm not from this world and can't affect it too much. Second, if I really did help back then … would you have grown to what you are now?"
"…"
Xu Shenxing was left speechless, and then frowned. "So, what are you here for?"
"I'm here to warn you." The other party's smile faded, and a serious look appeared on his rather dispirited face. "The world is about to be destroyed."
"…"
Xu Shenxing thought to himself that this should be a serious moment, but for some reason, his heart was not moved at all.
Then, he came to a realization: perhaps it was because he had heard about the world being destroyed so many times at home that he was a little numb.
"What's with that expression?" The other party could not help asking when he saw Xu Shenxing's awkward expression.
"No, I'm just wondering if you're joking with me …"
Xu Shenxing scratched his head.
It would be too easy for someone who could make him feel a little pressured to destroy one or two worlds …
"I see, but you've misunderstood me a little. To be precise, the Multiverse you're in is about to be completely destroyed. Everything that has form and substance would be utterly destroyed. Then, this world line would be reduced to nothingness, and even you would not be able to stop it. You could only regret your powerlessness in the endless void, and finally give up your existence. "
The other party spoke slowly.
"You're not scaring me, are you?" Xu Shenxing said suspiciously. "Do you think I'm scared?"
Back then, the Great Demonic Realm had harmed hundreds of thousands of worlds, and that was already a disaster. Xu Shenxing was born because of that disaster and destroyed the Great Demonic Realm. But now, the other party said that almost infinite worlds in this Multiverse would be destroyed. That was too exaggerated.
"Unfortunately, I didn't mean to scare you."
The other party shook his head, and his mature yet dispirited face was full of bitterness. "Because I'm the one who experienced it personally … I couldn't protect my world."
"… Impossible! What kind of disaster could cause such destruction? "
"Sorry, I'm a failure. I don't even have the right to tell you the true face of the Era of Destruction."
When the other party said the words' Era of Destruction ', Xu Shenxing felt as if something had slammed into his heart.
A moment later, he felt a warm sensation on his face.
He reached out and wiped it, only to find that his nose had begun to bleed.
"Now you understand, don't you? Even if you mention the name of that disaster, it would cause considerable harm to those who know about it. That's why I stopped this dream and didn't let the girl beside you get involved. "
The other party smiled bitterly.
"You said that the entire Multiverse would be reduced to nothingness, and that even we could only regret and commit suicide in the Void … but aren't you still alive?"
Xu Shenxing asked as he wiped away the blood from his nose.
"Because my luck was better. In my world line, after everything turned into nothingness, my wife's body, which I tried my best to protect, turned into a small world. "Xu Shenxing did not know why, but the desolate look on the other party's face made Xu Shenxing feel sad." Warning the other 'us' and rebuilding the small world 'Vena' are the only two things that keep me alive. "
"Then … is there really no way to avoid that disaster?"
In truth, Xu Shenxing was confident that he could survive any disaster, but he did not have the confidence to protect the world … If he really was like the other party, where every world and everything he valued was reduced to nothingness, Xu Shenxing really did not have the confidence to rise again.
"If I have to say it, it's not that there's no way at all."
After a moment of silence, the other party slowly said, "I've informed many 'us' about the calamity, but those 'us' were unable to resist it in the end. They either died in the calamity or lost everything. But there is one exception. "
“！”
"You should have guessed that the branching of 'our' world line happened at the moment of transmigration. Because of the different worlds we transmigrated to, there were innumerable branches. According to my research, the other world lines would be retracted at the time of the calamity and be severed from then on, returning to nothingness. However, there was one world line that not only successfully hid itself, but even the world lines that branched from it were also hidden, avoiding the calamity! "
The other party sighed. "If one day you meet an 'us' with the pseudonym 'Seve Adrian', try asking him for advice on what to do …"
"So your taste is about the same …"
"I say, is that what's worth caring about?!"
"Oh, actually, other than this, I have something else to ask you." Xu Shenxing blinked and looked at the other party. "Is Mo Li having nightmares because of you?"
"Yeah, if I have to say it, it has something to do with it." The other party did a double take before answering.
"Euler!"
Xu Shenxing promptly punched him in the face.
However, the other party did not react quickly either, catching Xu Shenxing's fist in the same instant.
However, the aftershock of the punch immediately passed through the fist!
The final demon king behind the other party directly took the aftershock of the punch with his face.
Almost as soon as the aftershock spread out, the demon king's body was directly vaporized by the power of the aftershock, and its armor was completely melted. In just a breath, the final demon king that had killed Xu Shenxing in an instant, and later made Xu Shenxing fight a bitter battle, along with its throne, disappeared from the Great Demonic Realm just like that.
Then, the aftershock of Xu Shenxing's punch spread out with a bang, punching through the entire castle behind the other party, creating a hole that was more than a few hundred kilometers long, through which the sky outside could be seen.
After all, the castle itself was a part of Heaven's Pillar, and in theory, it was an absolutely inseparable 'fundamental particle', but it still collapsed under Xu Shenxing's punch.
There was no doubt that this punch was the extent of Xu Shenxing's seriousness.
"So, isn't your way of repaying your benefactor a little too strange?" The other party, who was unscathed, held his fist with a playful expression and said.
"How much strength does this projection of yours have?" Xu Shenxing ignored the other party's teasing, still maintaining his punching posture, and asked the other party.
"About half."
"So, you're stronger than me?" Xu Shenxing frowned.
"After all, I'm already the only person left in that world line. In addition, you're the fastest growing 'us' I've ever seen. Although there are some unexpected factors, the title of monster can be given to you without any dispute. "The other party smiled slightly," About another year, you'll be able to catch up to me. "
"Tsk …"
Xu Shenxing withdrew his fist, then turned around, no longer looking at the other party's invisible pretentious face, "In short, I'm tired of this nightmare world, let it end quickly."
"Of course, my purpose from the beginning was only to pass on the information about that disaster to you."
The other party replied without hesitation.
"And I'm different from you." Xu Shenxing stopped and said in a deep voice, "I'll definitely protect the world and not let the things I value disappear before my eyes a second time."
The other party was slightly stunned at first, then looked at Xu Shenxing's back and smiled.
"Ah, ah, that's the best."
Then, the nightmare world collapsed.
