There were no whites in the pitch-black eyes. It seemed as if the pupils had melted and swallowed up everything around them, making the entire pair of eyes... completely black.
It's exactly the same color as desire.
Not only that, but the moment the emperor opened his eyes, wisps of black mist rose from his body, surrounding him and spreading outwards. From a distance, it seemed as if the emperor had become The wisps of black mist emitted from the black source were like tentacles, shocking.
This scene made Wang Baole's eyes shrink suddenly. He felt the strong aura and fluctuations of desire on the emperor's body. This aura was stronger than any desire master he had ever encountered before, even if he fused seven Emotion perfects the six desires, and the desires that have the same origin as them are still far inferior in comparison.
It's like... this is the source of desire!
This discovery shook Wang Baole's mind. He had a vague guess. Before his guess could emerge more clearly in his mind, the emperor, who opened his eyes, lowered his head slightly on the seat at the top of the stairs and looked at Xiang Baole.
At a glance, Wang Baole's heart roared, as if a force with supreme domineering power came directly to occupy his whole body and devour everything.
Fortunately, Wang Baole himself was equally impressive. With the sparkle in his eyes, he was as motionless as a rock in the sea under that gaze.
After a long time, the emperor on the seat at the top of the stairs withdrew his gaze and sighed softly.
This sigh, with its vicissitudes, seems to contain the passage of time, echoing in this hall, lingering for a long time, even giving Wang Baole an illusion, as if this sigh came from a long time ago and fell into his ears. , as if his own life was showing signs of withering.
"I...failed, and you...came late."
The sound of vicissitudes of life echoed after that sigh, forming waves of invisible impacts that spread to the surroundings and poured into Wang Baole's mind, making him breathe slightly faster.
"Is it worth it?" Wang Baole suddenly spoke, his voice like a storm, and it collided with the impact, forming a roar in the hall.
"I have always been paying attention to you... You have your pursuit, for your freedom... and I also have my own pursuit, for completeness, for the mission of the previous life." The emperor murmured, although his voice was soft, but in this hall, But it has some kind of penetrating power.
"And you are the same as me, a part of the previous life, but your pursuit is yourself, and my pursuit is the origin, so... you ask me, is it worth it?" After the emperor said this, he slowly sat up straight, upper body He even leaned forward slightly, staring down at Wang Baole.
"I also want to ask you, is it worth giving up your previous life?"
"Is it wrong to merge with me and let's pursue our past lives together?" The emperor's voice revealed majesty and even a hint of anger, as if he didn't understand why... Wang Baole, who was transformed into a ray of remnant soul, didn't give up earlier. The return of resistance.
In that case, maybe... it's not too late.
Wang Baole was silent. Now, after absorbing the memory images of the emperor and integrating the clues he had encountered in his life, he finally understood his origin clearly in his heart.
I am just a remnant soul of the corpse in the coffin of the previous life, and the same is true for the emperor. They are indeed one body, but their independent consciousness makes the two people who were originally one body go in two different directions.
"What you are looking for is the past."
"What I'm looking for is now." Wang Baole shook his head, looked at the emperor, and spoke slowly.
"So, you are not wrong, and I... am not wrong either, but if you look at the cost, I don't agree with your approach because it's not worth it."
The emperor was silent. When he looked at Wang Baole, complex fluctuations appeared in his dark eyes. From the moment he became conscious, he did not think that there was any life in this universe that could talk to him on an equal footing.
Even parrots are like this.
As for those generals, they are just subordinates and do not have any qualifications, except... the person in front of me is the only one who is qualified.
So in this silence, the emperor sighed again.
"Whether it was in the past or now, it doesn't matter anymore..."
"Originally... if everything went well, we would be complete now. We should have left this universe long ago and returned to our origin." The emperor murmured, with confusion and regret in his eyes.
"It's a pity, it's a pity... I thought that this big universe was special enough, but I still didn't expect that this big universe is so special that it is the origin of immortals... "
"I didn't lose unfairly... But I really want to know who I am... and even more, I want to know who killed me... What I want to do most is to return to my hometown."
"You don't understand these... because the moment you were born, there was a complete world around you. You were accompanied by someone, and you were not alone."
"But I am not. I have been alone for countless years..."
"Perhaps you were the first one born back then... Your thoughts will be the same as mine."
"But these are really not important anymore, because... desire has awakened."
Wang Baole was shocked. There was a sentence in the emperor's words that made him agree. Perhaps, if he was really the first one to be born, he would have made a similar choice...
In silence, Wang Baole listened to the last words spoken by the emperor, and his eyes flashed. He remembered the missing section in the memory picture of the emperor he saw. This section of memory contained the unknown things that appeared on the emperor. question.
It was this problem that led to the change of Yuanyu Daokong and the birth of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
"Then what?" Wang Baole said calmly. He wanted to know what went wrong with the emperor. Although he had some guesses in his heart, he needed confirmation.
The emperor shook his head and slowly raised his right hand. The lifting process was very difficult. Wang Baole saw countless mist wrapping around the emperor's right hand, making the movement seem to require great strength to complete.
During this lifting, a soft light gathered on the fingertips of the emperor's right hand. The light was not very bright, and seemed to be barely formed in the diffuse black mist. Finally, it turned into a point of light, separated from the emperor's surroundings. Fly towards Wang Baole.
Until it floated in front of Wang Baole.
The aura of the same source on it made Wang Baole feel it very clearly. His intuition told him that there was no harm in this light spot, and it only stored a memory.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Baole also raised his right hand. The moment he lightly touched the light spot, his mind buzzed, and a memory... appeared like a picture.
