Chapter 565: Master
Chapter 565: Master
Wang Kudu felt as if he had become so engrossed in this book that he was seeing hallucinations.
How could he possibly see his own name in a book, and even the events from his dreams recorded within?
This was a bit terrifying and eerie.
He furrowed his brow, sensing an ominous premonition.
He continued reading.
"Under the shroud of Black Heaven, only a Fourth Layer Yangshen can withstand it."
"Although Qi Yuan has entered the 'Pseudo Fourth Layer Yangshen' realm, he is not truly a Fourth Layer Yangshen."
"In the first billion years, he lost his eyes and could no longer see any material in the world."
"During the following billion years, he lost his ears, eyebrows, and nose, and could no longer hear the sounds of the wind or smell the fragrance of flowers and grass."
"In the last billion years, he lost his mouth, and the things he lost continued to increase."
"One day, he will lose everything, his flesh, his consciousness, his True Spirit, and step into the Fourth Layer Yangshen, becoming another Black Heaven."
Wang Kudu’s expression was indescribable.
"So, you need to go see the heroine!" he wanted to say to the protagonist.
But the protagonist had no hearing now. Would shouting help?
As night fell, Wang Kudu once again entered his dreams, where he saw that battered figure again.
The figure was slender, with broken features, standing alone in the sky, fighting against the terrifying black bubbles.
This scene had lasted for countless billions of years.
"Hey, go see the heroine!" Wang Kudu shouted with all his might.
However, the figure remained unmoving, as if it hadn’t heard his voice.
"Damn, he has no hearing, no sight... How am I supposed to tell him... to go see the heroine?" Wang Kudu was somewhat anxious, worrying about the protagonist in the book.
...
In the endless expanse of time and space, Qi Yuan’s body was fragmented, his features dissolved. Now, his physical form was almost non-existent, with only a sliver of his True Spirit retaining consciousness.
"Black Heaven... it cannot be resisted."
"Only a Fourth Layer Yangshen can withstand it."
"Am I finally going to lose?"
In all the games, this was the first time Qi Yuan felt a sense of powerlessness.
The Great Mind Forgetting Sutra, the ability to do as he wished, and absolute adaptation were already quite strong.
But they could not help him cross the chasm from the Third Layer to the Fourth Layer Yangshen.
Now, he was barely considered a "pseudo Fourth Layer," which allowed him to struggle against Black Heaven.
However, under the influence of Black Heaven, his consciousness, his body, and everything else were gradually dissolving.
"Step into the Fourth Layer Yangshen?"
Qi Yuan fell silent.
If he stepped into the Fourth Layer Yangshen, he could truly resist Black Heaven, perhaps even devour it.
But with his strength, after the Fourth Layer, he would become a monster even more terrifying than Black Heaven.
Now, he understood that the Fourth Layer Yangshen meant abandoning everything, pursuing power, and retaining only the most fundamental traits.
This abandonment included his True Spirit.
This meant that once he stepped into the Fourth Layer Yangshen, he would truly vanish, and there would be no more Qi Yuan in the world.
He was unwilling to accept this outcome.
"Is there really no way to break this deadlock?"
"Where is the hope of survival?"
Qi Yuan’s consciousness was muddled.
Facing the terrifying Black Heaven, he didn’t know how long he could resist.
At this rate, his True Spirit would eventually be extinguished, it was only a matter of time.
At this moment, Qi Yuan suddenly paused, as if he saw countless drops of blood falling from the sky.
"Is this... my blood?"
He remembered that before the game loaded, when it was about to crash, he had saved it with his blood.
"What time am I in... my blood falling... will I return?"
"No, in any timeline, there is only one me."
In the endless ages, Qi Yuan’s consciousness was muddled, with only a sliver of True Spirit keeping him awake.
He saw no light.
He smelled no fragrance.
He heard no thunder.
At this rate, his True Spirit would ultimately be extinguished.
He would either fall or step into the Fourth Layer Yangshen.
He knew he could skip the Fourth Layer and step directly into the Fifth Layer Yangshen, so he was unwilling to step into the Fourth Layer.
"At least, I can use my blood to observe this world, which allows my True Spirit to remain active."
Qi Yuan felt it was quite mysterious.
The past influences the present.
The future influences the past.
However, he couldn’t think too much, as it would only tire him out.
In different timelines, he continuously resisted Black Heaven, his features dissolving. Fortunately, the humans formed from his blood continued to explore the world, feeling the wind, enjoying the rain.
"But... it’s a cycle."
Qi Yuan sighed softly.
He knew such days wouldn’t last long.
In the future, when all his blood returns to him, his blood would no longer be able to perceive the world for him.
His True Spirit... would truly vanish.
"So tired, I hope a wealthy woman can see my stubbornness and strength."
Qi Yuan sighed.
He had already sensed that Shen Ling was besieged and defeated.
He also perceived that Qi Yuan, after his mortal transformation, had failed to ascend to the Ancestor Deity realm and sat alone in the Gold Quail Realm.
"So... I lost?"
The lone thread of his True Spirit was constantly dissipating.
Even a powerful cultivator like Qi Yuan, with the Great Forgetting Sutra and his Superpower, couldn't stop the dissipation of his True Spirit.
At this moment, Qi Yuan thought of many people.
He thought of Jinli, of the Goldfinch, of Ning Tou, of his senior sister with the ample chest, Jiang Lingsu, and of his wife in this life, Shen Lingxuan.
"Indeed, I'm just an ordinary mortal. In my final moments, I resort to reminiscing."
His True Spirit flickered like a candle flame, ready to extinguish at any moment.
"A new Shen Ling has been born."
"Qi Yuan's mortal transformation... he succeeded."
"Is it all over?"
"Wait, why haven't I dissipated yet?"
Qi Yuan had thought that when all his blood returned to his origin and he lost his ability to perceive the world, that would be the moment his True Spirit completely vanished.
But... he hadn't died yet.
He was still alive.
"It's... the new Shen Ling, still perceiving the world in my stead." Qi Yuan realized something.
At that moment, a voice resonated in Qi Yuan's mind.
"The Great Dao has fifty paths, and the heavens have forty-nine. All that is imperfect will escape, missing one."
"So I offer it... a branch of spring."
"Spring?"
"Chun!"
"So, the missing word on the stele at Sunset Cliffs was 'spring'!"
"She gave me spring!"
"The correct one is..."
"In ancient times, there was a Chun, standing silently in the primordial chaos. I think of you, longing for spring, like a tree yearning for its return."
"The ancient Gu Chunmu!"
"So... it's my Master!"
Qi Yuan seemed to understand something.
"She knew this outcome, that's why she always wanted me to leave."
"When I obtained the Divine Wood Token, I heard a word, 'escape'."
"The stele at Sunset Cliffs was also telling me... not to descend into this world."
"Is my Master the Voice of Silence?"
"The Moon Goddess Primordial Lord exists in the past or the future, but not in the present."
"So... my Master is also on the fourth layer of Yangshen."
"No, she's on the fourth layer of Yangshen, and the consciousness that communicates with me is... or rather, a consciousness of awakening."
At this moment, Qi Yuan's thoughts became clear.
The fourth layer of Yangshen has no consciousness.
Master Ruan Yixi was originally the Chun on the fourth layer of Yangshen.
Qi Yuan's awakened Superpower, related to speech, allowed him to speak freely, be heard by the unknown, and undergo peculiar transformations.
Because of this, the Voice of Silence... finally developed its own consciousness, evolving into the Divine Wood Universe from the fourth layer of Yangshen.
But as the fourth layer of Yangshen, she knew the past, present, and future, so she had always stopped Qi Yuan from coming.
"So, is she... the female protagonist that person mentioned?"
"Master... can I see you?" Qi Yuan's smile turned somewhat sorrowful.
The fourth layer of Yangshen doesn't exist in the present.
This meant that unless Qi Yuan also reached the fourth layer of Yangshen, he wouldn't be able to meet her.
Meeting Black Heaven had already exhausted all of Qi Yuan's True Spirit.
To meet his Master again... could he do it?
Suddenly, Qi Yuan realized something, and a happy smile appeared in his eyes.
His Master had also been... trying to meet him.
In the Divine Wood Abyss, the dream he had was not a fantasy but his Master.
In the Divine Light Sect... that enchanting figure was also her.
And... many more.
"Master... I've seen you."
Qi Yuan's eyes shone with a smile as bright as the stars.
Meanwhile, in the endless river of time.
In the 1619th book, 1 bar, 1 look, no mistake version!
Vast Wave Realm.
A handsome young man breathed the air of a different world, finding it sweet and fragrant.
He gazed at the hazy, graceful silhouette ahead, his eyes filled with curiosity.
[Her name is Ruan Yixi. She's your beautiful master on the surface, but she might be your wife.]
"I got a wife right after crossing over?" The handsome young man was in a good mood.
"My Master as my wife?" He called out.
The woman wore a deep robe with flowing wide sleeves, looking like a celestial being.
Qi Yuan couldn't see her face, only her silhouette.
But even her silhouette was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Why aren't you speaking? Are you mute?"
"Oh, maybe she's shy. Master, wait for me!"
"The fact that you're not chasing me away means you've accepted me as your disciple!"
"From now on, Qi Yuan is Ruan Yixi's disciple!"
In the Divine Light Sect.
The handsome young man stretched lazily, casually tossing a small wooden fish into the mouth of a wooden cat automaton.
He lay comfortably in bed, fast asleep.
After waking up, he finished his morning routine and stepped out of the courtyard, gazing at the palace in the clouds.
"Another day of thinking about my Master."
The clouds on the peak rippled and vanished instantly.
Qi Yuan's eyes gleamed with a peculiar light, "So, my Master back then was also thinking of me?"
"Another day, Qi Yuan held up a first-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual object, the Yellow Flower Fruit, and said, "Master, I, Qi Yuan, have brought the dowry."
The clouds in the sky gathered, creating a spectacular sight.
"It seems Master is very happy," Qi Yuan remarked.
In the Fourth Layer of Yang Emperor, without consciousness, Master might have remained in a state of confusion and occasional clarity even if he had awakened or regained his awareness.
Above the Arching Star.
Robot Ling Yi looked at Qi Yuan, "Master, we three have never taken a photo together. Shall we take one?"
"Oh, a photo? Sure," the man in the Blood Robe replied.
The sky was pitch-black, and the stars were dim. He stood on the lawn, and Ling Yi held Xie Xinsu in his arms as the three of them posed for a picture with their signature smiles.
At that moment, a gentle and cool moonlight shone down, landing on Qi Yuan's Blood Robe.
The photo was captured.
Qi Yuan held the photo, deep in thought, "The moon on my shoulder, this is also our group photo."
Countless scenes appeared, only to shatter in that instant.
"Xiao Jia," Qi Yuan called softly.
Instantly, a small and exquisite bridal dress appeared.
She stood beside Qi Yuan, shy and timid. Although she lacked a beautiful face, delicate feet, and a graceful figure, she seemed like the most beautiful woman in the world.
He held Xiao Jia's cold little hand and smiled, "So, you've always been here."
"Before, you transformed into the Blood Armor to protect and shelter me. Now... it's my turn to protect..."
He looked at Xiao Jia, and even without eyes, his gaze was filled with countless gentleness and deep affection.
"This time... I should bury myself underground."
...
"My name is Ruan Yixi."
"I don't know who I am either."
"I only know that I can't see light, hear thunder, or smell flowers. The world is void and desolate."
"One day, there was a very talkative person who kept talking."
"He's so annoying, I wish he'd just shut up."
"Well... actually, it's nice to have someone to talk to."
"I like listening to those stories."
"Chaos opening the seven apertures?"
"If I open the seven apertures, will I be able to..."
"I failed, and blood fell from the heavens."
...
"My name is Ruan Yixi, and I still don't know who I am."
"I've lived in the Divine Wood Abyss since I was young, always alone."
"Hey, I just snuck out once and fell asleep in the dirt. Why did a Blood Robe dig me out?"
"The key point is, he bound me up and carried me off in a palanquin to marry me by force!"
"I have a husband now, so I have family, right? Well, this husband of mine... is a piece of clothing."
"He can't speak, so I made eight wooden plaques for him."
"One represents a hug, and one represents happiness."
"Having a husband by my side is wonderful."
"My husband... is gone."
...
"My name is Ruan Yixi, and I've remembered who I am."
"I'm a blind, deaf, and mute person..."
"My eyes were given to me by my husband."
"My ears were given to me by my husband."
"I don't want... these gifts from him!"
...
"My name is Ruan Yixi, a failure who has failed countless times."
"I've finally become a true person."
"My husband has become the true Blood Robe."
"This time, I'll listen to my husband."
...
In the Divine Wood Abyss.
The blood-red robe was refined by countless people."
Pain and reluctance filled Shen Xuan's eyes.
"Qi Yuan is like water, the eighth original rule of the Divine Wood Universe."
"He is the eighth Human Enlightenment Light!"
"Only by creating eight Human Enlightenment Lights can the original consciousness of the Divine Wood Universe revive for a breath."
"She will carry the eight Human Enlightenment Lights, wearing the eighth and most powerful Human Enlightenment Light... to annihilate Black Heaven!" Shengnv said calmly.
"What will happen to him?"
"He's already dead!"
Three years later.
Within the Divine Wood Universe.
A majestic aura suddenly appeared.
A peerlessly radiant and sacredly beautiful Shengnv emerged, clad in blood-red battle armor, and her entire body emanated a brilliant, fiery light.
As soon as the fiery light appeared, the black bubbles instantly melted.
Shengnv's figure and the black bubbles vanished simultaneously.
Black Heaven... dissolved.
The entire universe rejoiced.
The Divine Wood Scripture recorded that when Shengnv revived, carrying the eight Human Enlightenment Lights, she dispersed Black Heaven, and the world was bathed in light.
...
In the Divine Wood Abyss.
A shadowy figure lingered.
"My name is Ruan Yixi."
"This is my story."
A distant nursery rhyme echoed through the vast Divine Wood Abyss.
"The mountain has Chunmu, the rain is Xiao Xiao. The rain is silent, but it doesn't speak to me. Having met the gentleman, my heart is restless.
The mountain has Chunmu, the wilderness has yellow flowers. The yellow flowers are lonely, but they don't share with me. Having known the gentleman, my heart is anxious.
The mountain has Chunmu, the sky has thunder serpents. The thunder serpents are silent, but they don't speak to me. Having spoken to the gentleman, my heart is discontent.
The mountain has Chunmu, the wetlands have Fan Cang. Fan Cang is alone, but it doesn't appreciate with me. Seeing the gentleman, my heart is uplifted."
