In the Blade

The strong will always be strong, and the weak will be deprived of everything.

Huang Tian no longer remembers where he heard similar words. As a strong man, he didn't feel anything about this sentence. Anyway, he never deprived others of everything. Most of the time, he would only take things he needed, such as worship, life, or some other things.

But after meeting the monster, he vaguely felt something.

He was instinctively avoiding and resisting the possible results. He didn't want to lose, and didn't want to admit defeat, just because he had vaguely realized that if he really lost, it would probably have some consequences that he couldn't predict.

And now, he finally ushered in failure.

Although he was still resisting, he knew in his heart that he had already lost and accepted the defeat. That was not something he could defeat at all. Now he had already lost the desire to fight, and even avoided the monster when he met it.

If the monster threatened him, he might still refuse the other party's request, but that would still cost him his death. And the most terrifying thing is that even if he refused, he would still wonder why and what the monster was thinking.

Just like now, the monster gave him a way to live. Logically, he should go to recuperate or even leave.

But he has not moved until now.

Not only did he not move, he was still thinking about the monster. He would think about why the monster did this and what the monster's intention was... He was still trying to understand the monster, trying to understand this incomprehensible power.

In the past, he would have life, family, battles, and all kinds of miscellaneous things in his heart.

But now, there is only the monster left in his heart.

"I'm probably finished."

At this moment, Huangtian realized this very clearly.

Everything in front of him was extremely clear. Even if he closed his eyes, he could see the back of the monster. Everything in front of him was so blurry that he could no longer see the road ahead. Now he finally felt what the so-called "deprivation of everything" meant. It was not only depriving him of everything he had, but also blurring his future path.

In the past, his future was clear and visible. Even though he was tired of this future of winning and winning, different worlds could still bring him some surprises. But now, his future was blurry. He was completely destroyed and could no longer see the road ahead. He had no idea what the monster would do to him next.

Was it going to torture him? Or was it going to beat him again? Or take away all his things? Or was it just like now, doing nothing?

I don't know, I don't know at all.

It was at this time that Huang Tian realized what kind of horror those creatures that he had treated as mice and monkeys were experiencing. When everything in front of him became blurred, his will could only follow the only certainty, and the only thing that could be determined, the only thing that could determine his life or death, was the figure of the monster.

"Escape."

This was the final judgment made by Huang Tian's reason.

Yes, there was only escape, and only escape. As long as he was far away from the monster in space and time, he could still repair himself and have a chance to live again. Although this method was quite shameful, it was at least very useful at this moment.

After all, the world was so big, and there were worlds outside the world. If he just kept running away, how could the monster find him?

"It's just about giving up everything."

Huang Tian turned his head and scanned everything in front of him.

This world, which he used as his residence, had once poured a lot of his efforts into it. It was hard to give it up now. But compared to the great terror he was facing, all this was nothing. Anyway, as long as he was still here, those lost things would eventually come back.

"I'll give it to you."

Huang Tian finally made a decision after gritting his teeth.

Most of the things were not worth taking away, except for some weapons he collected - of course, this did not include the swords made by Yin people Wu Zhao. These swords could still be used, but now, these swords have become the beacons for the monster to locate him. If he still took these things, he would still be caught up by the monster, and his so-called escape would become a joke.

As for the others, he only took away his admirers and the genealogy he had saved. The admirers could bring him strength, and the genealogy could make him firm in his beliefs. These were important things and needed to be taken away.

"Really... hey."

Holding the genealogy in his hand, Huang Tian gritted his teeth.

Thinking back to when his ancestors left that world, it was because that world was too bad and they didn’t want to be tainted by it, so they chose to leave. But now, as the successor, he chose to flee because he couldn’t win. In comparison, this is really…

“It can’t be that our ancestors also ran away because they couldn’t win, right?”

Huangtian smiled bitterly.

But then, he suddenly couldn’t laugh anymore.

Although he had always believed that there was nothing wrong with the records in the family tree, at this moment, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the history recorded in the family tree - at least according to his personal experience, if there was a conflict between the two sides, the strong would stay where they were, and the weak would be driven away.

But according to the records in the family tree, those weak, irrational, monkey-like imperial people stayed in their homeland, while his ancestors who were elites chose to leave.

Is this really leaving?

Or... escaping?

"No, no."

The right arm that was skinned alive had just grown back, and Huangtian began to rub his head.

There was a huge force flowing in his arm. Now he had fully experienced what was truly strong, so those who were weak and not strong enough were extremely obvious in his eyes - a logic that did not originally belong to him was violently tearing open his mind, pointing out a new idea that he had never thought of.

That was completely different from his previous thoughts, another logic.

In the past, he would only say that the genealogy was correct and the family history could not be changed. This was his logic and the source of his arrogance. But now, another logic based on strength and power covered it in an extremely rough way, and even tore a huge wound on it, allowing him to see something bloody that he had never seen before.

Perhaps they did not choose to leave at the beginning, but were forced to leave.

Yes, if you think about it this way, everything seems to be explained. Why has he not seen any support until now? Why did his father still give him such a dangerous thing to do? In the past, he thought that his father's instructions were just to remind him how dangerous that world is, but now it seems... It is clearly stimulating him and stimulating his competitive spirit.

His psychology has been controlled from the beginning. His father never thought of dealing with it personally from the beginning, and he himself, from the beginning, was a victim thrown out.

After all, he was the only one who came into contact with the so-called Yin people Wu Zhao. As long as he was abandoned, his family would not be implicated anymore.

"No, no..."

As if a red-hot fire stick was inserted into his brain, Huang Tian tried to deny this fact.

No matter how much he wanted to surpass his father, it was just a normal vision. After all, he was his father, and there was still a kinship between them. His father would not be so indifferent and ruthless.

"No, go back first."

Thinking of this, Huang Tian immediately modified his plan.

Let's put the matter of escape aside for now. He must at least go back and ask for clarification. He can bear it all, but he is unwilling to bear it all inexplicably - and those recorded in the family tree, those doubts that made him more and more confused the more he looked at them, he must get an explanation, he must get an explanation.

Thinking of this, Huang Tian took out another sword.

This sword is his usual sword, and it is also his prop for traveling between different worlds - as for why this thing can travel between different worlds, he has never thought about it, at least he has always used it this way.

So why can this thing allow him to travel between different worlds?

"......Hmm?"

Huang Tian was keenly aware of it, and he had the urge to scratch his head again.

This was not his idea at all. He had always only used these things and had never thought of asking so many whys - this idea of ​​asking everything to the end was probably also infected by that monster.

Just like now, he had to go back and ask about the family tree. Isn't this also asking for a why?

"But maybe I shouldn't come back."

Just after passing through the hole made by the sword blade, Huang Tian saw a familiar big face.

Fortunately, it was not another familiar big face, but this face also made him quite irritated - the reason was nothing else, just because the one who appeared in front of him was clearly another self.

"......Who are you?"

Another Huang Tian raised his head and frowned slightly.

Just looking at the eyebrows, it was full of Huang Tian's previous demeanor.

The same rebelliousness, the same unruly, the same arrogance.

The same weakness.

"I am the real you."

Huang Tian, ​​who was dozens of feet tall, looked down at the other self at his feet.

"As for now..."

Huangtian raised his fist at his other self.

Indeed, in the eyes of his father and grandfather, his other self might be a more suitable existence than him, but for him, the existence of his other self was simply endless blasphemy.

If he admitted the existence of this other self, who would he be?

"I am me."

Huangtian swung his fist at his other self.

No more exaggerated words were needed. His fist was the sky for his other self.

"Boom--"

After a loud bang, a big pit appeared on the whole earth.

After that, Huangtian raised his fist and wiped the blurred flesh and blood on it.

If he didn't see it, it would be fine, but since he saw it, there can only be one him in this world.

"And you, come out."

Having said this, Huangtian turned his head and looked at the clouds not far away.

"Father, I think we should talk."

"I have nothing to talk about with you."

Among the clouds, a young man dressed in black flew out.

"Is this what you came back to do? Do you know what you did?"

"What about you guys? What are you doing?"

Huangtian roared angrily.

"I was out fighting life and death, and you just created this one? Why, do you think I can't come back? Are you so anxious to find a replacement? Do you think I'm really dead?"

"What's the difference between you... and being dead now?"

The young man's figure frowned slightly and looked Huang Tian's huge body up and down.

"You are all someone else's effort. I can't even see how much consciousness you have left... Are you still you now? Or, how much of you are still yourself? You are like this now, Do you want to bring back the disaster?"

"Me? I brought the disaster back?"

Huang Tian was stunned for a moment, his vision suddenly blurred.

If he hadn't been able to completely determine it before, now he could really identify something.

Some of the things he had guessed before were indeed correct.

His family is not as powerful as imagined. At least his family is afraid of the so-called "disaster", which means that the things recorded in the genealogy and the descriptions of strength are very likely to be false. phantom.

At least they can't even solve this so-called "disaster", right?

It turned out that he had been living in a lie all along.

"I've got it...I've got it completely."

Saying this, Huang Tian gradually closed his eyes.

"I already, completely understand."

"What do you understand?"

In front of Huang Tian, ​​the young man frowned even more.

Although he still didn't know what happened to the strange son in front of him, he could at least feel that the aura exuded by Huang Tian was very abnormal.

Especially these words that his son suddenly said...he didn't even say anything yet, but he suddenly understood.

"I fully understand and understand your weakness."

Taking a deep breath, Huang Tian gradually opened his eyes.

"I have completely understood that everything recorded in the genealogy... we are not ascendants at all, we are just a group of refugees who escaped. We have never been as great as recorded."

At this point, Huang Tian's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"You, too, were never as strong as I thought."
