I was very smart.
Powerful insight, a rare talent, a strong physique, and an eidetic memory.
But it wasn't until I was six years old that I realized how lonely all of this made me.
…
Two thousand years ago, in the Central Plains of Earth.
Sects were divided, good and evil were at war, countries were at war, and mortals were like weeds.
"Mom, mom." A fair-skinned child was running barefoot on the field. A farmer woman who was working looked up and said gently, "What's wrong, Xiaozong?"
"I finally know what it means."
"Haha, you mean everyone is glowing?"
"Yes, blue means that the person is depressed, red means angry, yellow means scared, white means sleeping, purple means lying …"
As the child spoke, he suddenly stopped. His mother smiled and looked at him gently. "Why did you stop? Where are the other lights? What do they mean by different colors? "
The child was stunned and suddenly lowered his head, as if he didn't want to look at the farmer woman in front of him.
Mom, why, why do your eyes always move when you talk to me? Why does your heart beat faster? Why does your breathing become hurried?
Why is your body covered in yellow and purple lights? Why are you scared? Why did you lie?
That year, I was six years old.
It was only a long time later that I realized that the lights I saw were electromagnetic waves released by the brain. My life plexus gave me the ability to detect electromagnetic waves.
Even now, I still remember that was the last thing I said to my mother.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I lied. I can't see any lights."
At that time, my body was covered in purple light.
I learned to lie.
…
Have you ever felt this way?
It doesn't matter if you tell a little lie.
The reason for being late, the impression you have of the other person, other people's appearance, or your own ideals.
Just say whatever you want. Don't pick things that others don't like.
There will always be a voice in your heart telling you that it doesn't matter if it's a small lie. It's a necessary skill for people to interact with each other.
Is this feeling familiar? Because you experience this every day.
You lie to others, or you listen to others' lies.
Deception is the main theme of the world.
Because the entire world is built on people's illusions.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to school."
The youth with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes glanced coldly at his parents before he turned around and left.
"Come back early. I made your favorite red braised pork today." His mother wanted to say that, but she couldn't say it until the boy walked out of the door.
She had failed again. With a sad face, she said, "I've been talking less and less with Xiaozong recently."
"This child seems to have become more and more reclusive in recent years."
"For some reason, his eyes seem to be able to see through me. I don't even dare to be alone with him."
"Me too. Sometimes, I feel like he's not a person.
Sure enough, sure enough, it's better to leave him to the temple to be raised. "
"But he's still so young." There was a hint of hesitation in his mother's words.
"After sending him away, with our current age, we should be able to have another child. Xiaozong is too strange …"
It wasn't until they were more than a hundred meters away that the young man's sharp ears could no longer hear his parents' voices.
On the way to the school, there were more and more young men and women around.
"Shenzong, you must be first in the exam again. You're always sleeping. How on earth did you learn? "
"Big Brother Shenzong, let's go play together after class."
"Boy, if you look at me like that again, I'll break your legs."
"Xiaozong, your results this time are very good. How about it? Have you discussed with your parents when you're going to participate in the provincial exam?"
Everyone has a purpose. Everyone who talks to me, the people I interact with, whether they know it or don't realize it, they all have a purpose.
Curiosity, admiration, threats, and exploitation. Everyone had different motives when they talked. Therefore, they wore different masks to hide their motives.
This — is human instinct.
Lies make up the entire society, and I, who can see through the lies, am the person who can see through the entire society.
… …
The young man walked on the way home.
A dog followed behind him.
A classmate beside him laughed and said, "Shenzong, this dog likes you."
The young man frowned. Like? Shenzong could hear the squirming sound from the dog's stomach, see the saliva at the corner of the dog's mouth, and feel the dog's pure desire in his heart.
Like? It just wants to eat, that's all. Wagging its tail and begging for pity, without hiding it, is a dog's instinct.
But at least, you can't lie.
Thinking about it, the young man picked up the dog and walked in the direction of his home.
But just as he reached the door of his house, he suddenly stopped.
His nose could smell the faint smell of blood.
He could only hear the sound of breathing.
His mother wasn't cooking in the kitchen as usual.
However, he only paused for a moment before he entered the house again and closed the door.
His parents were lying in a pool of blood, and a man in black was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Seeing the young man's cold face, he laughed and said, "Boy, you already noticed something was wrong before you came in. Why did you still come in?" This question really made the man in black very curious. He had never seen such a calm young man before.
The young man's eyes stared straight at the man in black.
As expected, he had never seen a black one before.
"Boy, I'm asking you a question." As he spoke, the man in black pointed with his finger, and a black beam of light pierced through the dog in the young man's arms. With a low scream, the beam of light left a huge bloody hole in the dog's body. Flesh and blood flew out, and half of the young man's body was dyed red.
"You … how did you do it? Why did the dog explode? Why is there a beam of light? " He looked at the bloody corpse in his hand and suddenly asked, "Did you use this to kill people? Can you teach me? I really want to learn. "
The man in black was stunned. His eyes stared at the young man's face, but he found that he couldn't see any sadness or fear. The young man's unusual calmness and coldness made him feel a little scared.
He moved his hand and put it on the young man's shoulder. "Don't move. Let me see your body."
That year, I was 12 years old.
Later, I learned that not everyone does things with a purpose.
There are people in this world who don't do it for fame or benefits. They don't have feelings to vent, and they don't have hatred to take revenge.
They … just want to see the whole world burn.
But at least, they rarely lie.
…
Two thousand years ago, there was a country called Zhao State.
Behind the whole Zhao State, there was a religion called Zhangle Sect that ruled.
The doctrine of this sect was to suppress the followers with killing, fear, and sacrifice to evil gods. In the barbaric times of the past, this kind of sect that used fear as the main emotion to threaten people was very popular for a period of time.
But like other evil sects, they would eventually be eliminated by history.
…
In the secret room of the Zhangle Sect in the Wan Le Mountain.
The man in black leaned against the wall and looked at Shenzong in front of him in disbelief.
"You … what on earth have you done?"
"Why didn't the Poisonous Dragon Powder have any effect on you? Did … did you break through the Star River Realm? Did … did you succeed in building the golden bridge? "
The man in black looked at Shenzong with trembling eyes. Looking at the 16-year-old boy in front of him, he said slowly, "I succeeded in building the golden bridge six months ago."
"I can only say that it's too easy. I don't understand why it took you so long. "
"How is it possible?" The man in black looked at Shenzong bitterly. He had spent decades of effort to reach the realm that he had failed to achieve, but this young man had so easily achieved it. Jealousy, fear, anger, hatred, and all kinds of emotions emitted different lights and shot into Shenzong's eyes.
"Then what do you want to do now?" The man in black struggled desperately. "You won't have an easy time if you kill me. Someone will avenge me. You can't be the Sect Master. "
"I'm not interested in the Sect Master's position." Shenzong said indifferently, "And you should have seen that an evil sect like the Zhangle Sect can't rule for a long time.
While you squander the fear of the lower class and test the patience of the nobles, other sects are growing faster. No, they are more suitable for the current era than you are.
The Zhangle Sect is destined to be destroyed, and I'm tired of seeing your ugliness. "
The man in black looked at Shenzong furiously. He couldn't believe that the usually obedient and loyal Shenzong, who was like a man of sacrifice, would say such words.
"You … What do you want?"
"I … I just want …"
Shenzong whispered softly in the man's ear. The latter's eyes widened instantly and became bloodshot. He pointed at Shenzong with a trembling finger.
At this moment, the fair-skinned handsome young man was like a pitch-black demon with sharp horns and a tail. He was emitting an extremely ominous aura.
…
Three months later, at the Southern Sacred Gate.
"Do you see that guy who is more beautiful than a woman?"
"Is that him? The Medicine Tester who survived the battle of the Zhangle Sect? I heard that the Sect Master personally rescued him after breaking into the secret chamber of the Zhangle Sect. "
"Shh, don't speak too loudly. This guy has sharp insight and seems to have the ability to read minds."
A few disciples of the Southern Sacred Gate walked past Shenzong softly.
The latter ignored them. The Life Plexus that could sense emotions and the eyes that could see through people's hearts had become a barrier around Shenzong. It was a thick layer of ice that prevented others from understanding him and coming into contact with him.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded behind Shenzong's head.
The latter ignored it and continued walking forward.
"Hey, I'm calling for you." A young girl with a ponytail and a moon-white Daoist robe appeared in front of Shenzong. Her baby-like cheeks blushed slightly. "Why are you ignoring me?"
Looking at the young girl in front of him, Shenzong was stunned.
Can't sense it? There was no trembling, no change in heartbeat, and no change in breathing. Even the light on her body was white, which represented sleep and peace.
"Haha, are you sensing my emotions?"
Shenzong frowned and said coldly, "What did you do?"
"Nothing, I heard that you can see through people's hearts, so I came to take a look." The young girl stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm teaching Bai Yan. My Life Plexus can read minds."
Shenzong's breathing became heavier. He tried to control his thoughts and started to recite numbers, throwing away all his memories.
"Don't come near me." With that, he turned and left.
A few days later, Shenzong walked slowly on the mountain path. Bai Yan caught up from behind. "Hey, can you wait for me? Don't run so fast."
The Mirage Master suddenly turned his head and looked coldly at the other party. He asked, "Why are you following me? What is your goal?"
"Ah? I just want to be by your side. "Bai Yan smiled." Are you afraid? "
I … am afraid? But why? Why is your heartbeat, your breathing, and your blood vessels not changing at all? Why is the light on your body white?
…
In the darkness, a pair of blue eyes suddenly lit up.
This was a pure black secret room. There was no gap or light source.
Shenzong, who was emitting a faint blue light, slowly stood up from the throne.
"You're awake?" Behind him, a black-clothed man sneered. "Are you afraid?"
"I've never been afraid of the dead," Shenzong said calmly. "I just thought of some boring things."
The black-clothed man smiled. "But you're afraid of loneliness. Otherwise, why would I appear?"
"You're wrong."
"I've long been used to loneliness. From the moment I came to the human world again, I was darkness, I was despair." As he spoke, Shenzong stepped forward. The ground was torn apart, and sunlight shone down. Great Qi turned into his battle robe, and geomagnetism turned into his scepter.
"Xiaozong."
"Why?"
"Why didn't you take revenge for us?"
On the ground, a couple covered in blood walked toward Shenzong, causing him to frown slightly.
Behind Shenzong, the black-clothed man chuckled. "Even they are here. You're doomed. Shenzong, I'll watch you come down to accompany me."
At the same time, more and more people appeared on the ground. They followed behind Shenzong and looked at Shenzong's back.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
"Don't you regret it?"
"I hate you!"
"Demon! Selfish! Traitor! "
"Get out of my way!" Shenzong suddenly opened his eyes, and a myriad of rays of light burst out from his eyes. After the white light, everyone disappeared.
"What … have I done now?" Shenzong looked at his hands in a daze. Countless memories flowed into his mind.
Suddenly, the black-clothed man stood behind him again and said, "Hehe, we are you, and you are us. If you don't die, we won't die either."
"Shenzong, you're a cowardly brat. You've been like this since you were six years old. You're used to being alone, but you're also afraid of being alone. Loneliness made you who you were in the past, and it will also destroy you in the future."
Shenzong looked at him coldly and didn't say anything.
"If you want to follow, then follow."
Just then, a group of stone men ran over from afar. These life forms created by Shenzong directly came before him and said hurriedly, "My … My Lord, there's … there's another spaceship flying over."
…
I'm Shenzong, the sect master of the Southern Sacred Gate.
"The place I'm in now is a strange place.
The flow of time here was different from the flow of time anywhere in the universe.
"One month ago, I started hallucinating.
"Seven days ago, my personality started splitting.
"Three days ago, my mind collapsed, and my consciousness died.
"Today, I've been dead for three days, and I'm walking on the earth again.
"I've had my fate map destroyed three times, my heart crushed, and my brain squashed.
"I've lied to the entire world, and I've stood at the peak of the human world.
"But here, I've awakened the strongest power I've ever had in my life. Even I think that it's an invincible power.
"But so what?
"I've tried my best and sacrificed everything to save the past.
"But now, it's like the heavens are playing a joke on me.
"He gave me a future.
…
Slender fingernails scratched a layer of dried green cuticle, making a sizzling sound.
A green head that looked like a gopher's was filled with tears and snot. The body under his head was completely dissected and dismembered. However, his head could still move freely, and he didn't die.
At this moment, he looked at the black figure in front of him with fear.
"You said that you can reverse the past?
"Kill me!!!!"
