It was deathly quiet in the quiet room.
The ground rose slowly.
Leaning against the wheelchair, Jing Jiu was thinking of many things.
What was that god thinking when he entered the All in One Sword and headed toward those permanent stars?
How could he get rid of the All in One Sword now?
It seemed that he had to ask the Snow Girl about that prison and the missing high-level civilization.
Even though she was merely a guard and didn't know much about the main body of that civilization, she should know something.
The door of the quiet room was opened, and the group walked out. As they left the manor cave, they found the sky was dark.
The conversation didn't last long, so it shouldn't be night yet.
It was the sun that had been blocked.
The patch of darkness grew larger, and the light on the small island grew dimmer.
The ocean wind whistled, and the ocean sprays rolled in all directions.
As the patch of darkness fell to the surface of the ocean, the group found it was a patch of clouds.
Ada had received the message from Qing 'er, and flew back from the distant sun.
The Dead Dog was lying on his back. He was of an average size, covered with bloody scars, looking like a black and red gem.
In the past, Ada had always been lying on the back of the Dead Dog; but it was the other way around.
The Snow Girl sat on the head of Ada with her eyes closed. She looked extremely weak, like a grain of rice.
Qing 'er flew back to Zhao Layue's shoulder, saying, "I don't think they'll die."
Ada shook his body, his long hair swaying like the silk of the clouds, and returned to his usual size.
The Dead Dog landed on the beach. A hint of sadness showed in his eyes; it was unclear if it was because he had smelled the scent of the Great Grandmaster.
Then, he looked at Jing Jiu and lowered his head to bow to him.
Jing Jiu straightened his broken body and returned the bow earnestly.
The expression in the Dead Dog's eyes grew tranquil and warm. He turned around and walked toward the ocean.
Soon, he disappeared into the blue ocean, and it was unclear where he had gone.
"He went to recuperate," said Jing Jiu.
Ada jumped onto Jing Jiu's knee lightly, and lifted his head.
He didn't act arrogantly, nor did he ask for praise or a pat on the head; he was returning something.
Cold Cicada loosened its armored leg and let go of the small hollow ball made of golden threads.
It didn't even dare to look at the Snow Girl. Its countless eyes were filled with fear.
Jing Jiu took the gold-threaded hollow ball and looked at the black gem inside. His eyes were extremely calm.
Only then did Ah Da notice his current situation. His pupils constricted and he meowed a few times hurriedly.
"Are you going to die?"
Jing Jiu was still looking at the black gem and casually replied, "By definition, yes."
Ada was silent for a long time and meowed a few times in a low voice.
"I was most afraid of you two in my life, and I was bullied the most by you two. When I was at Bihu Peak, I prayed for you two to die every night. Then, Taiping Zhenren died, and now you're going to die too … I should be happy, but why am I so sad all of a sudden … Oh, right! There's a black monument on the other side of the sun. Maybe it can save you! "
"No one can save him. I can't, and that thing can't either."
A young and weak voice suddenly rang out on the beach.
Everyone looked over and was shocked to find that it was Xue Gie who was speaking!
The immortals of the previous generations didn't even know that the Queen could speak the human language.
Zhuo Rusui and the others remembered that many years ago, when the Xue Gie killed Bai Ren and ascended, she seemed to have said something. At that time, she seemed to have said … 'I'll never come back'?
"Hmm, I'll deal with it myself," said Jing Jiu.
The Xue Gie asked emotionlessly, "What are you going to do with me?"
She was in an extremely weak state at the moment. Any immortal could kill her.
Most importantly, she didn't have a way to restrain Jing Jiu.
The First Master of Aoyama was dead, and Jing Jiu was no longer controlled by the Inherited Heaven Sword. Instead, he could use that thing to control her. Though they did have an agreement, the problem was … Jing Jiu was going to die. Who knew what he would do for the human race?
Everyone fixed their eyes on Jing Jiu's hand.
The gold-threaded hollow ball in his hand was the key to the Xue Gie's life.
Those eyes had different meanings.
Kill her.
Control her.
Don't.
"All things are used by humans? It sounds reasonable, but isn't that what all things hate the most? "
Jing Jiu ended his meditation and retrieved his spiritual awareness. He handed the gold-threaded ball to the Xue Gie.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked speechless.
After a moment of silence, the Xue Gie reached out her two small hands and held the ball with both of her hands.
Jing Jiu looked at her with a smile and said nothing.
The next moment, the golden thread broke and scattered on the beach.
The black gem that was restrained by the formation had disappeared. The Xue Gie must have put it away.
Her eyes became deeper and darker, and anyone who looked at them would feel fear.
The Xue Gie looked up at the sky and laughed soundlessly.
The two ends of the red line on her face curled up slightly, which immediately diluted the pressure and fear.
The black obelisk was the only existence in this universe that could threaten her, and now it was under her control.
She had finally obtained the freedom she wanted the most.
After a moment, she retrieved her gaze and looked at Jing Jiu in silence.
Everyone knew what she meant.
Her seemingly simple and pure yet dreadful eyes were full of complicated emotions.
From now on, no matter what Jing Jiu asked her to do, she would say "I'm willing", even if it meant destroying the world.
"I'd like to ask you something," said Jing Jiu.
As his eyes met the Xue Gie's, he felt as if he had gone back many years.
Back when he participated in the Cultivation tournament of the Plum Meeting, he was forced to go deep into the snowland with Bai Zao because of Lo Huainan and was trapped in the extremely cold environment.
The Xue Gie's spiritual awareness came over from the distant icy peak and landed on him.
It was the same today. When their spiritual awareness met, they exchanged a great deal of information.
…
…
The Xue Gie had no idea what the advanced civilization that built that prison was like.
She was born or created in that prison the day she was born.
According to the requirement of her authority, she couldn't contact the prisoners in the prison. As such, she could only look at the world in the north. She felt lonely and bored, so she started to think about the meaning of her existence.
The moment a being started to think about the meaning of her existence, the first thing she wanted to do was to understand the world she was in.
She didn't know about that advanced civilization, but she was sure that there was another world outside the sky. As such, she thought that her origin was in that world, and those powerful prisoners were exiled to this world by that world.
This isolated world was indeed meaningless. She had tried to leave this world, but she couldn't find a way to do so. She had to spend most of her time in hibernation, until all the prisoners in the prison were killed by time.
After a long hibernation, a being who claimed to be a god came to that world. He somehow found a way to control her, and then reached an agreement with her, just like what Jing Jiu had done.
"What kind of person was that god at that time?"
"I didn't see him in person."
"But you two communicated with each other."
"In the human language, that god was a bit shy, and he was apologetic for no reason."
"Hmm, that god did things in an inexplicable way."
Thinking of the conversation he had with Xu Le, Jing Jiu thought with an inexplicable sadness.
The soup in the hotpot had been dried up by the devil fire, but it wasn't burned.
The last conversation between Jing Jiu and the Snow Girl came to an end.
She turned around and walked toward the ocean.
An island emerged on the surface of the ocean in the distance.
It was the back of the Dead Dog.
The Snow Girl was going to recuperate in the ocean.
Everybody knew that she and the Dead Dog had gone through thick and thin together, so they had a good relationship.
…
…
The news of the death of the Grandmaster of Aoyama was still blocked on the ancestral planet.
The fairy men in the distant universe didn't know about it yet, but they should have made some preparations in advance.
Yet, nobody had the intention to leave, including Tong Yan.
Everybody was waiting for Jing Jiu to solve his problem, or die.
The fairy men of the previous generations, like the Godly Striker Master and Mister Dong, who were still immersed in the sorrow, were not allowed to leave.
Countless battleships had taken control of the solar system, and anyone who tried to escape would suffer a dreadful attack.
"We didn't want to leave in the first place," the Godly Striker Master said expressionlessly.
The pair of devil men in black spoke at the same time, but what they said was completely different.
Gu Zuo stared at Jing Jiu and said icily, "We want to see you die with our own eyes."
Gu You said expressionlessly, "Since the Grandmaster is dead, you can't die."
The latter statement was the true thought of the fairy men of the previous generations.
The underlying meaning was clear.
The Grandmaster of Aoyama didn't have a personal grudge against you; what they were fighting for was the direction of the path toward heaven.
Now that he had proven himself wrong with his death, you had to solve the problem facing the humans.
Jing Jiu didn't respond to him, but motioned for Zhao Layue to push him to the seashore.
The shadow of the wheelchair was dragged far away by the setting sun in the coconut grove.
"There is one thing that you might not know yet."
Zhao Layue took out the Green Sky Mirror again and said, "Some of the people here are dead, but … they are still alive."
She had told Cao Yuan about it by the lake on the snowy mountain on that planet.
Jing Jiu was not surprised, as he said, "The abnormality of the Green Sky Mirror started many years ago."
During the Dao Competition at the Zhongzhou School, he won the tripod in the Green Sky Mirror and helped Qing 'er find her way to freedom. It was then that the Green Sky Mirror experienced some inexplicable changes.
The time in that world had slowed down, and the ghostly figures could be seen in the Royal Palace of Zhao Zhao.
"You didn't know what had happened back then," Qing 'er said while sitting on Zhao Layue's shoulder.
"I'll go and have a look," said Jing Jiu.
Liu Shisui, who had disappeared earlier, walked out from the deep end of the coconut grove, holding a large bundle of bamboos.
The group was used to him finding bamboos wherever he went, so they were not surprised to see him.
He used the Lone Sword with all his might, and the sword lights flashed. He had finished cutting the bamboos in the shortest time possible.
Liu Shisui made a bamboo chair skillfully, and then polished it with the Huanxi Yarn.
Yuan Qu exclaimed in surprise, "You've even brought He Zhan's belongings here. Sensei has always wanted to separate from the family; what can she do about it? "
Liu Shisui shot a glance at Zhao Layue, but didn't say anything.
Zhao Layue didn't want to answer these boring questions. She picked up Jing Jiu and placed him on the bamboo chair carefully, using the Green Sky Mirror as a pillow under his neck.
"Not bad," Jing Jiu commented satisfactorily.
The ocean wind passed through the coconut grove and mixed with the sound of ocean waves nearby, which was suitable for calming the mind and mind.
Those immortals of the previous generations were sitting cross-legged in the distance; it was unclear if they were still grieving.
Zhao Layue and Liu Shisui stood by the bamboo chair, looking like two gatekeepers.
Que Niang intended to stay behind, but she was taken to the manor cave by Tong Yan, who told her that they would play chess there.
Yuan Qu and Young Sister Yushan sat by the seashore, talking to each other while looking at the Master Dead Dog who was getting further away. They were wondering if their Young Brother should come out and help them solve the problem, or take a look at him for the last time.
The shabby robot sat by the pond again, fishing with the bamboo rod in his hand.
The bamboo rod looked like a toothpick in his hand, and the pond was merely a small puddle of water.
The Scorching-Sun Battleship had already exited the atmosphere a while ago, and was cleaning up the area near the broken moon.
Some images of the battleships could be vaguely seen in the distant space.
Jing Jiu had fallen asleep on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed.
Ada was afraid that Jing Jiu would feel pain, so he didn't lie in Jing Jiu's bosom. He curled up by Jing Jiu's side.
The ancient times and the modern times.
The history of mankind.
The passage of time.
All these seemed to be concentrated in this scene.
This was the first day.
