#744 - The whole world is silent
Jun Wuxie slumped to the ground, looking at their bodies, already devoid of warmth, overwhelmed by emotions like pain, sorrow, and fear.
He tasted despair once more.
Last time, Yue Yao turned into light rain before his eyes, but this time, it was Lingfei and all of them who had left him!
Yue Yao still had her true soul, and could be resurrected in the future, but Lingfei, Yan Qingcheng, Lilia, Chan'er, Mu Xuelan, Mu Yunxi, Qin Keqing, Su Xiaoxiao, Su Lan, Mu Yuning, his daughter, everyone in the sect…
He would never see their smiles again, never hear their voices again, never feel their warmth again.
The happiness he possessed vanished at this moment, everything shattered!
In such a cruel way, broken to pieces before his eyes!
His heart was empty, his life had lost all color, his eyes were hollow, like a soulless walking corpse.
He was terrified, despairing, unable to face a future with only himself!
"I will take revenge, I will slaughter all of the Dark, and make those creatures pay with their lives for you!"
He clenched his fists, his knuckles white, his eyes filled with crazed hatred and violence.
Hatred!
Only hatred could support him through the lonely years to come!
Only hatred could give him the motivation to live, the sole meaning of his life!
He dragged his weary body to the ice plain and used Xuanbing to create a huge Xuanbing coffin, dug out the Mother of Ice Souls and placed it in the coffin, burying them all inside.
He stood silently before the ice coffin, looking at their pale faces, day after day.
He didn't know how many days and nights had passed, he looked much more haggard, his face covered with stubble, the sadness in his eyes gradually fading, he put the ice coffin into the cave heaven, his eyes becoming firm and crazed.
"The arrival of the Dark, the cataclysmic torrent sweeping across the heavens and earth, took away everything I cared about! Why, why didn't I know about such a big event? Where was I then, where was I?!"
He roared at himself, communicating with the Eternal Life Shrine, calling out to Ye Qingxue and Zhuque, wanting them to tell him why this had happened!
But the Eternal Life Shrine was silent, he could not communicate with it, and all attempts to enter failed.
He didn't know what had happened!
Even the Eternal Life Shrine was silent!
He left the sect and spent a long time traveling all over Emperor Beginning Star, seeing only ruins and death.
The entire ancient star was left with only him, no more living beings to be seen!
He opened the Starry Sky Rune Communicator, the rune communication connection was extremely unstable, and on many platforms, he saw sporadic images, in which all the ancient stars of life in the starry sky had become stars of death.
He tried to post on it, but no one replied for a long time.
The entire universe was silent, there were no other living beings, only him…
The whole world was silent!
Not a single human being spoke to him, not even a second life form existed!
The vast universe was scarred and devastated, filled only with darkness and cold!
Jun Wuxie looked at the Starry Sky Rune Communicator expressionlessly, and after a long time, he closed the rune device and returned to the Immortal Execution Dynasty.
Walking through the ruins.
He went to see the Little World Tree, which had been cut off from life, and quietly stayed with her for a long time, then went to the Xuanyuan Clan, stood in the collapsed valley, facing the slightly cold wind, in silence.
Afterward, he went to the dwelling places of the Four Divine Beast Clans, no longer seeing their shadows, only bloodstains all over the ground.
He went to the Mo Family, the Medicine King Sect, the Demon Phase Sect, the Spirit Control Sect, and the territories of forces such as the Half-Demon Clan.
Besides ruins, all that remained were blood and desolation.
"It's just me, it's just me alone…"
He returned to the sect, sat down cross-legged in the collapsed courtyard, and began to frantically refine resources, charging at the realms!
He had to become stronger, break through to the Middle Heavenly Position, the Great Heavenly Position, the Extreme Heavenly Position!
He had to find the world in the dark universe corresponding to the lower realm!
Hatred surged in his heart, his eyes had turned blood red, and his baleful aura soared to the sky!
Time passed day by day.
He remained sitting there, like a statue.
But his realm remained unmoving.
"How could this be? How can't I even break through the Small Perfection of the Extreme Realm of the Small Heavenly Position? It's clearly just a step away!"
He tried repeatedly, for a long time, but still stagnated.
He felt that perhaps his state of mind was too bad, with too much sadness and despair in his heart.
"I must become stronger!!"
He roared, unable to accept that he was unable to break through like a waste, otherwise he would not be able to avenge the people around him!
Spring passed and autumn came, year after year.
He didn't know how many seasons had changed in the world.
But his realm still could not break through. During this period, he exhausted all kinds of methods and consumed all kinds of rare resources, but still had no effect.
Later, he even tried various crazy methods, but still failed.
In these years, he had become extremely haggard, and his life essence had withered.
Those crazy attempts had caused him to suffer very terrible backlash.
His origin was damaged, and the Wheel of Life cracked.
Now, his life functions were flowing away very quickly.
"I am still incompetent, unable to avenge you! Why, why is this happening?!"
He was unwilling, not knowing why he had suddenly lost all of his cultivation talent.
He couldn't accept it. If there was no hope of even avenging them, what was the meaning of life?
The people he cared about were gone, all gone!
"I am not reconciled…"
He lay on the ground, his face haggard, his face covered with stubble, his eyes empty.
He hated himself for being useless, for not being able to protect them, for not being able to protect the sect and the dynasty, and for not even having the ability to avenge them!
But why was this happening?
He couldn't figure it out, always feeling that something was strange, something was wrong…
Just as he was affected by the strangeness that suddenly rose in his heart, and his thoughts were drawn along.
On his wrist, the Eternal Heart Lock suddenly swayed slightly, making a clanging sound, attracting his attention.
Specks of soul light diffused out, condensing into a stunningly beautiful girl in the air.
"Yao'er… Yao'er…"
His body trembled, and his voice quivered.
"Brother Wuxie ~"
Yue Yao's gentle voice was full of heartache, and a pair of star-like eyes stared at him, shimmering with crystal tears.
"Yao'er!"
Jun Wuxie rushed forward like crazy, hugged her in his arms, hugged her tightly, tears instantly rolled down from his eyes, and he choked: "Yao'er, I'm sorry to you, I'm sorry to them, I'm useless, I didn't protect you well!"
"Brother Wuxie, don't say that. You didn't let Yao'er down. From the time Yao'er met Brother Wuxie in childhood, and was loved and pampered by you, Yao'er was the happiest person in the world. I believe Sister Lingfei and the others also think like Yao'er. Having had it is the happiest thing. Don't feel guilty, don't blame yourself…"
Yue Yao stroked the prickly stubble on his face, her eyes full of heartache.
"But they are all gone, everyone, everyone Brother cares about, is gone! Brother lost you, lost them, and even at the last moment of their lives, I wasn't by their side, I hate myself!"
He choked up in collapse, and his sunken eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.
"No, Brother Wuxie, you must not think like this. You must cheer up. Take a closer look, don't you feel that something is wrong?"
"Hmm?"
Jun Wuxie's heart trembled, and he looked blankly at Yue Yao.
But her soul body was becoming more and more illusory before his eyes.
"Yao'er, are you leaving me? Don't go, I only have you, don't leave!"
He was extremely terrified, trying hard to hug her tightly, but he couldn't stop her soul body from becoming more and more illusory.
"Brother Wuxie, Yao'er's true soul is waiting for you to reshape my body. You must believe in yourself, believe that you can protect everything you want to protect. This world may not be what you think it is. Find the flaws, strengthen your will, return to reality, I and Sister Lingfei and the others are waiting for you…"
"Yao'er!"
Jun Wuxie called out heart-wrenchingly, but could only watch her scatter into soul light in his arms, submerging into the Eternal Heart Lock.
"Yao'er…"
He suddenly lost all his strength, fell backward to the ground, muttering Yao'er, his eyes losing focus, his pupils dilated.
Yao'er's voice seemed to still be lingering in his ears, it was so beautiful, like the sound of nature, healing his scarred soul.
But, she just appeared for a fleeting moment, and then left him…
Her words echoed in his mind again and again.
"Yao'er, you want me to believe in myself, but I can no longer believe in myself; you want me to strengthen my will, but I can no longer strengthen my will! Reality, reality is too cruel, I want to escape so much, I wish all of this was just a dream of mine, a nightmare…"
"A dream…"
Jun Wuxie murmured.
"I and Sister Lingfei and the others are waiting for you…"
He recalled Yao'er's words.
At this moment, he shivered with a jolt.
In his mind, he seemed to have captured something.
"Yao'er said to find the flaws, strengthen my will, and return to reality… What does she mean? She said that she and Lingfei and the others are waiting for me, what does that mean?"
He grasped the key point, and suddenly his whole body trembled.
In an instant, his eyes were no longer hollow, but became particularly bright, with a blazing light.
At this moment, it was as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope!
He clenched it tightly, clenched this point, forced himself to calm down, and began to analyze carefully.
"I have a memory missing, I don't know where I went, but I remember that my previous realm was already infinitely close to the Small Perfection of the Extreme Realm of the Small Heavenly Position…"
He carefully sorted it out, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt, the brighter his eyes became.
The torrent of the apocalypse wouldn't overturn the entire universe in an instant; it always takes time.
Could it be that his realm hasn't grown at all during this time?
Also, why has he been unable to break through for several years?
These are all illogical.
The Ancestor was so strong, and the Ancestral Mother came from the forbidden area of Shenhuang Mountain, how could they also be gone?
The sudden loss of contact with the Eternal Shrine is all too abnormal!
“Could it be that everything here is fake, illusory, a hallucination born from my inner demons? I am afraid that all of this will happen in the future, so a hallucination is born, and I am trapped in my own hallucination?”
He began to doubt and became more and more convinced of his inner speculation.
He knew that if it was really a hallucination born from inner demons, the only way to break through the hallucination was to firmly believe that everything that happened here was fake and that all the psychological effects caused by everything here needed to be eliminated.
However, everything here is too real and has too much influence on his state of mind.
For a time, forgetting everything and pretending that nothing had happened was easier said than done.
He firmly believed in his heart that it was fake, but it was difficult to eliminate the negative impact in his heart in a short time.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down as much as possible, and tried to gradually dilute the sadness and hatred in his heart, but the bloody, painful, and desperate scenes always popped up in his mind.
Whenever that happened, even if he firmly believed it was fake, he still couldn't achieve a state of unwavering calm.
……
At the same time, in the Golden Scale Secret Realm, on the steps leading to the second platform.
Yue Chenyu's face was pale, her face was covered in sweat, and her eyes were still a little dazed.
She had just walked out of the illusion, and she felt a burst of palpitation when she thought of everything she had experienced in the illusion.
That nightmare-like scene still lingered in her mind, overlapping with the scenes she had personally experienced countless years ago.
That was the desolation of all living beings, the sorrow of the heavens and the universe, darkness, blood, despair…
Suddenly, she thought of Jun Wuxie and hurriedly looked at him. She saw that his energy and spirit were withered, his blood was dry, and his whole person had lost weight, his eyes were sunken, his face was full of stubble, and he was extremely haggard and decadent.
Her heart tightened, and her slender fingers hanging down on her waist couldn't help but clench the corner of her clothes.
“Damn it! I am alone and have few worries, and I almost got lost in my own illusion, but he has many worries, loved ones, sects, friends, and dynasties. These will become weaknesses for the test of his state of mind to attack…
Her heart was full of worry. This man was too deeply concerned. Because of this, the inner demon illusion was even more terrifying and would cause him to collapse.
What if he was trapped in the illusion and couldn't get out?
His current situation is already very bad, his energy and spirit are sluggish, and his blood is about to dry up. If this continues, I am afraid that his life will be in danger.
She was anxious, but she had no way to help.
When a person is trapped in his own inner demon illusion, he basically has to rely on himself to break through, unless there is an extremely strong existence to help him.
But her current strength is far from reaching the point where she can enter his illusion to help him!
