Against the Gods

Time passed silently, until a cautious figure appeared in Yun Che's sight.

This is a young man who looks to be in his early ten years. His face is thin, and his skin is less smooth than a young man's and more rough and dull.

He saw Yun Che, who was lying there with bruises all over his body. He shrank his neck, but did not leave immediately. His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. After hesitating for a while, he mustered up the courage to ask: "This brother... senior, you Do you know where Senior Sister Lingzhu is? I heard she is back."

Yun Che turned his eyes and said gently: "She is indeed back, but she is not here. She should have gone to see the 'Master' she called her."

Disappointment suddenly appeared on the young man's face, but he still said politely: "I understand, thank you, senior, for informing me."

Judging from his cautious appearance, he obviously escaped secretly. His expectations failed, he turned around sadly, but Yun Che stopped him: "But she should be back soon. If you really want to see her, you might as well wait here for a while."

The young man's eyes suddenly brightened, and he nodded vigorously: "Okay! As long as I can see Senior Sister Lingzhu, I am willing to wait as long as possible."

Then he lowered his head and added in a low voice: "...if he is not discovered."

After bidding farewell to Ku Xian, Helian Lingzhu, who was supposed to return directly to the court with Mo Cangying, finally decided to say hello to Yun Che before leaving, in the name of not losing royal etiquette.

Mo Cangying had no choice but to agree.

As they approached, they heard him talking to a young man.

"... In our Linyuan world, 99% of the people are majoring in earth-based profound strength, and the majority are minoring in wind-based profound strength. I am the master of earth and assistant of wind, and I can now move a large area of ​​wind and sand. "

"I heard from Master that our Linyuan Realm will attract and gather all the practitioners who practice earth-based mystical power, because this is the place where the abyssal earth-based power is the most intense and active. But there are very few people outside who practice earth-based mystical power. Strength, even... Master also said that they all look down on earth-based profound strength and think that cultivating this kind of power that specializes in defense is a coward's behavior... That's not the case! "

The young man's voice was filled with reluctance: "There are many great people who practice earth-based profound power! There was even an Abyss Knight right here in our place!"

Mentioning the words "Knight of the Abyss", the admiration and admiration in the young man's eyes was as blazing as a burning flame: "I heard that he was also selected by Emperor Abyss to become a pioneer in exploring the 'Eternal Pure Land'."

"His name is Mo Beichen, he is ranked 779th among the Knights of the Abyss, and he is titled 'Guardian of Fengchen'. He is from our Linyuan Realm!"

Every word the young man spoke was filled with pride that seemed to overflow.

The smile on Yun Che's face remained, but his pupils narrowed slightly for a moment.

Mo Beichen...

What a fate!

This terrifying figure who made Qianye Ying'er lose his grandfather and great-grandfather, made him lose Sanyan Zu and He Ling, and truly pushed the entire God Realm into despair... How could he forget it at all!

"Senior," the young man's eyes changed and his voice softened: "Do you think there really is an 'Eternal Pure Land' in this world?"

"I heard that it is a place where Yuan Chen does not exist. You can see green grass everywhere there, there are trees that can grow very tall, and there is something called a 'flower' that can bloom in many kinds of colors. color."

"I heard that the sky there is blue, and the children there don't need to be 'protected' as soon as they are born. Even if they don't practice hard, they will not be eroded, let alone be abandoned because of poor talent. All children can grow up freely."

"Does such a place really exist?"

What he described was a very ordinary scene in Yun Che's perception. It was so ordinary that no one in his world would care or mention it.

But in the young man's eyes and words, he was describing a world that should only exist in fantasy and dreams, so beautiful that he and all the creatures in the abyss dare not believe it.

"Of course it exists." Yun Che answered firmly.

Outside the hall, Helian Lingzhu couldn't help but stop.

A strange light flashed in the young man's eyes and then went out immediately. Obviously, he didn't believe it: "Have you ever seen the 'Eternal Pure Land' with your own eyes?"

Yun Che smiled and said: "This has nothing to do with whether you have seen it or not, but you have to believe in its existence."

"Believe it?" The young man who has been "protected" since he was a child and has never really been involved in the world has a confused look on his face.

"Because the word 'believe' is an amazing power." Yun Che's expression was gentle and serious: "If you need a miracle, then it will only appear if you believe in it."

"If you long for the 'Eternal Pure Land', then as long as you firmly believe in its existence and work hard for it, it may really appear in your life one day."

"Even if you still fail to find the 'Eternal Pure Land' in the end, then the beautiful persistence and efforts that accompany your life will open up an 'Eternal Pure Land' in your soul that will always belong to you. "

The young man's eyes were shining like stars, and this time they did not go out for a long time.

Helian Lingzhu outside the hall was also stunned for a moment.

Until Mo Cangying stepped forward and opened the palace door.

The young man looked back and saw Helian Lingzhu, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Senior Sister Lingzhu!"

He rushed forward with excitement, but was pulled back by Mo Cangying. He frowned deeply: "Qichuan! Did you sneak out? Don't you know how dangerous it is to leave the protective barrier of the underground palace with your current cultivation?"

The young man was in awe of Mo Cangying: "I... I just want to see Senior Sister Lingzhu too much."

"Hmph!" Mo Cangying said sternly: "Then you should practice hard. When you reach the Soul Realm, you can leave the underground palace for half an hour every three days! With your current cultivation, you are not qualified to leave the underground palace at all. Acting recklessly for your own desires will only disappoint people!"

"Don't forget, if you can't achieve the Divine Tribulation Realm before a quarter of a century, you will be abandoned! At that time, even your 'Senior Sister Lingzhu' will not protect you!"

Yun Che was moved.

A fifteen-year-old Divine Tribulation Realm is a genius that is enough to shock a party in any star realm of the God Realm.

And in this abyss, he can only barely touch the qualification of not being abandoned.

There is no mercy or tolerance for the young here.

Anyone who is born has to face the most cruel law of survival.

——Except for those sons of the Kingdom of God who are chosen by heaven.

Yun Che suddenly thought that in the memories that Chi Wuyao snatched from Mo Beichen, his two daughters were "abandoned" and died under the erosion of Yuan Chen.

Therefore, he should only have hatred for this place.

"Okay," Helian Lingzhu walked over and stretched out her hand to protect the boy who was being scolded: "Qichuan is just a child after all, there is no need to say such harsh words to him."

Mo Cangying said: "Indulgence is what harms him. Trash has no right to survive, and laziness and willfulness are seeking death! This is the law they should remember when they are born!"

"I... I know." The boy spoke, without resentment, only shame: "I just miss Senior Sister Lingzhu too much. She is like my deceased sister. In my heart... the only relative in this world, I just need to take a look... just like... sister Sister is still alive..."

"I promise that I will never be willful at other times, and I will do my best to practice."

"And..." He tried to hide the tears in his pupils, and his voice was a little sonorous: "Just now, I seem to have found the direction of my efforts."

Helian Lingzhu quietly glanced at Yun Che and smiled: "That's of course the best. Qichuan, you will definitely become a very remarkable person in the future. Being eroded by Yuanchen in childhood will damage your talent. Go back quickly. I will take the initiative to visit you when I come back to Tianfu next time."

After speaking, she gently patted the boy's shoulder.

And it was this effortless pat that caused the boy's arm to shrink suddenly, and a "hiss" sound came out of his mouth.

Helian Lingzhu was stunned, Mo Cangying's brows sank, and suddenly stepped forward, pulled up the boy's right arm, and directly shattered his coat on his right arm.

The boy let out a rather miserable cry of pain, and his facial features were squeezed together in pain.

The moment he saw the boy's right arm clearly, Helian Lingzhu's face suddenly changed, and Mo Cangying's whole face turned gloomy.

The skin on the boy's right arm was obviously dark, and several black marks more than half a foot long were clearly visible.

"Qichuan, you..." Helian Lingzhu's voice trembled slightly. She tried to reach out several times, but she didn't dare to touch the boy's arm full of black marks.

Yun Che's eyes stopped... Is this the erosion of Yuanchen?

"When did this happen?" Mo Cangying asked coldly.

"I... I..." The boy's face was pale, not because of pain, but because of the shock after being discovered: "I'm fine... I will be fine..."

His words were even paler than his face. Mo Cangying slowly let out a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "The right arm has been corroded to this point, so it has to be cut off!"

"Ah! No!" Helian Lingzhu hurried forward: "He is still far from being able to rebuild his arm. If he loses his right arm, he may... be abandoned soon."

"No choice." Mo Cangying shook his head: "He is only the right arm now. If it is not removed and spreads throughout the body, there is only one way to go, and there is only one way to go."

"Master can exorcise the erosion for him." Helian Lingzhu said anxiously: "I will go and ask Master..."

"If you go and ask, Master will definitely not refuse." Mo Cangying looked at him, his expression calm and solemn: "But, do you really want to set this precedent?"

Helian Lingzhu's footsteps suddenly stopped there, and it was difficult to move.

Mo Cangying said slowly: "Let's not talk about the entire Linyuan Realm, just in Helian Tianfu, I don't know how many people are eroded by Yuanchen every day."

"Yuanchen's erosion is silent and unprepared. As the eldest princess of the dynasty, you set this precedent for your own heart. In the future, every time a young generation is eroded, will the master have to take action to purify it?"

"His life span is really running out."

"..." Helian Lingzhu slowly closed her eyes, speechless.

"Sister Lingzhu." The young man reached out and gently pulled the corner of Helian Lingzhu's clothes: "I will remember your preference for the rest of my life. But this is my own failure. I can't make things difficult for you, and I can't let the master of the mansion suffer because of me."

He raised his face, tears in his eyes, and a smile on his face: "Brother Mo is just like what they said, he looks very strict, but he is actually a very good person. I have always been afraid that I will be abandoned directly after being exposed, so... Brother Mo cut off my arm for me, which is actually a kind of salvation for me."

"It's best if you think so." Mo Cangying nodded slightly, his eyes fixed: "Losing one arm does not mean losing your life and future. If you could achieve the Divine Tribulation Realm with one arm a quarter of a century ago, you would not be abandoned, and would be taken as a role model by Helian Tianfu."

"I... will do it." The young man's voice still trembled slightly.

Losing an arm is an unbearable blow to an adult man, let alone a young man with an incomplete mind.

Losing an arm not only brings physical injuries, but also mental injuries. Under the cruel survival rules of the abyss, losing an arm at a young age, no matter how gorgeous the comfort is, the future... is only endless pessimism.

His throat surged, and he tried to make a less difficult voice: "Please, Senior Brother Mo, cut off my right arm for me."

"Very good!" Mo Cangying nodded.

The young man suddenly closed his eyes, and Helian Lingzhu also sighed, slowly turned around and closed his eyes.

"Wait a minute." Yun Che's voice sounded at this time: "Let me see."
