It's the same first-level world again, the sky is still gray, and the earth is still black, but... the ruins look like they haven't been around for a long time.
Faintly, there seemed to be some life in this world, but Wang Baole, who was standing here, didn't notice it.
At this moment, his expression was extremely complicated, and he stood there silently for a long time.
He has seen two scenes of the emperor's memory, from when his corpse was buried in a coffin, drifting in the universe, until it entered the big universe and turned into a wooden path, and at the same time, life was born.
And this life emerged with consciousness and partial memory during practice.
But...he couldn't remember who he was, where he came from, and the mission he wanted to complete.
Wang Baole couldn't understand this kind of pain, but when he looked at the life transformed from the remaining soul in the picture, his heart was extremely complicated.
"Is this my true body..." Wang Baole murmured, thinking silently for a long time, sighing, raising his head and ignoring the world, and galloped away towards the place where the statue was.
He no longer wanted to take seven steps to get closer. The most important thing in his heart at this moment was the emperor's memory.
That is the truth of everything, and it is the knowledge that he wants to gain most after pursuing it until now.
However, the level of desire will not come later because Wang Baole speeds up. Almost at the moment Wang Baole whizzes away, scenes that seem both illusory and real appear before his eyes.
He saw an airship, which was the airship he used to go to Piao Miao Taoist Temple deep in his memory.
He saw familiar faces, parents, Zhao Yameng, Zhou Xiaoya, Master...until he saw the Federation, saw all living beings, and saw everything.
This is...another manifestation of the law of desire.
It is not shown with perfection, but is formed by one's own memory, just like reincarnation. Therefore, in the interweaving of illusion and reality, Wang Baole's progress was forcibly transformed into seven stages.
During the first part of the journey, he saw his home in the Federation. Under the reluctant eyes of his parents, Wang Baole walked silently...
During the second part of the journey, he saw Zhao Yameng. She was wearing home clothes. She was looking at Wang Baole with a smile and waving to him, as if she wanted to say something, but Wang Baole was silent and walked further and further away without pausing.
In the third section of the journey, he saw his master. The master was sitting cross-legged, blood spurting out, as if a curse had erupted all over his body, and he needed treatment... Wang Baole's body was shaking a little, but he was still silent. In front of the master who was gradually losing his breath, Walked over.
His eyes were already a little red, and when he entered the fourth section of the journey, he saw the young lady.
The young lady also looked at him, and just looking at him, Wang Baole closed his eyes and walked through this section of the road, entering the fifth section of the journey.
This fifth section of the road seemed to be very long. Here Wang Baole saw countless versions of himself, in different worlds, with the same ending. That was the emperor's hundred thousand divine thoughts...
As if he had experienced a hundred thousand lives, Wang Baole's pace became slower and slower, and he seemed to have no extra strength, but he still reached the sixth stage of the journey.
It's... strange here.
It was pitch black, like an empty starry sky without stars.
In this starry sky, there is a towering giant tree. The aura it emits is earth-shattering, as if it can shake the entire universe. This tree is full of fruits, and each fruit emits astonishing fluctuations. If you look carefully, it seems to be a giant tree. Stars.
However, those fruits seemed to have lesions and were covered with black spots, which looked like eyes. At the same time, they were extremely strange, and there were traces of black air emanating from them.
At the same time, the astonishing giant tree itself seems to be withering...
As Wang Baole looked, he saw a person standing on the giant tree.
This man had his back to Wang Baole and could not see his face. He seemed to be saying something to the giant tree, but Wang Baole was a bit far away and could not hear clearly.
But he had a feeling that if he wanted to, in the next moment, he could be close enough to see this person's face and hear his words.
But Wang Baole held back, he could feel the familiarity of the back... He could feel the familiarity of the giant tree.
"One is the emperor before he died, and the other is the emperor's coffin..." Wang Baole closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and left here. Until he entered the seventh section of the journey, he still had waves in his heart.
Because he understood that he could not stop on the sixth stage of the journey, but if it were a real emperor... I think he knew that he couldn't do this, but in order to pursue everything, he would still choose to stop.
"Seeing desire..." Wang Baole murmured, just about to walk out of the seventh section of the journey, but his expression changed in the next moment.
He saw a woman, a strange woman.
The seventh section of the journey was in a rainy, dusk street. In the dim lights in the distance, there was a woman standing there, holding an umbrella. She looked unfamiliar. Wang Baole was sure that he had never seen her before.
However, there was an indescribable familiarity. In this familiarity, he slowly walked over, because if he wanted to leave this seventh section of the road, the place where the woman was was the only way to pass.
And as he got closer, a wisp of familiar body fragrance, which even the rain seemed to be unable to hide, invaded Wang Baole's nose, making him feel shocked.
"It's her..." The body fragrance that came from the smell was exactly the same as at this moment.
Wang Baole was silent and walked silently until he reached the woman's side and was about to walk past her. The woman suddenly turned her head and smiled meaningfully at Wang Baole.
The smile was beautiful and the laughter was familiar, but none of this was the source of Wang Baole's shock. The real source was this woman's eyes... which were completely black.
Like the color of desire…
Wang Baole's mind was in turmoil, but his steps did not stop. In one step, he completed the seventh section of the journey and disappeared. When he appeared... He had already arrived in front of the statue. The complexity and confusion in his expression were suppressed by him, and he stepped in step by step.
As he entered the statue, the memory of the emperor he longed for appeared again...
But this time, the content of the emperor's memory made Wang Baole feel extremely disturbed after reading it!
"It's different from what I thought...!!"
"But it seems to be the same..."
"It turns out that's the case, it turns out that this is the emperor's purpose!!"
"It turns out that I...can't be said to be the emperor's clone..." Wang Baole looked complicated and stood there for a long time.
Finally, let out a sigh.
"Emperor, although I can understand what you are doing, but... is it worth pursuing the past at such a high cost?"
"I don't agree."
