The exit of Diamond Mountain is a winding diamond passage, which is similar in structure to the Diamond Mountain in the survival area. There is still a huge diamond cover above the head.
A large thorny rose forest stretches in front of the Diamond Road.
From a distance, the thorny roses that didn't fit in with the surroundings were unusually bright and dazzling, with large patches of red covering them.
There was no sound in the passage behind them. Judging from their speed, they should not have entered the cave yet.
Without waiting for them, Baili Xin continued on his way.
As he passed the winding diamond road and gradually approached the thorny rose forest, the expression in Baili Xin's eyes gradually became solemn.
The "roses" in front of me are not roses at all, but birds with their bodies pierced by thorns.
The thorn forest grew wildly, and on each of the thorns there was a bird pierced.
Blood flowed from the wounds, staining their white feathers red.
Pieces upon pieces of land, densely packed.
From a distance, it looks like a large field of gorgeous roses.
The appearance of these birds was exactly the same as those in the cave. Baili Xin made a rough count and found that there were hundreds of thousands of bird carcasses in this densely packed thorn forest.
Some of them closed their eyes, as if they were sleeping peacefully there.
Some of them raised their heads, with their pointed beaks slightly opened, as if they were stretching their necks to sing.
In the fairy tale, there was a thorn bird. It kept flying since it was born, until it found the thorn forest and flew there without hesitation.
Let the sharp edge pierce its body, and as its body was stained with blood, it sang its last swan song and died tragically.
This fairy tale has been interpreted in many ways. Some say it is about love in the thorn forest, and the thorn birds are men and women who risk their lives for love.
Some people also say that this thorn forest represents freedom, faith, ideals... and so on.
But no matter what the thorn forest in the fairy tale represented, Baili Xin had never seen such a tragic scene in reality.
Even though he was knowledgeable, he just stood there blankly, unable to describe the shock in his heart in words.
From the beginning, his shock never stopped.
I am shocked by the persistence of these unknown white birds in pecking the mountains year after year at the cost of their lives, and I am shocked by the tragic heroism of these white birds in leaning into the thorn forest without hesitation.
There were hundreds of thousands of dead birds in front of him, but he did not feel afraid. The surging heat in his chest swept over him, as if it was going to sweep him into the sea.
This thorn forest was so dense that it was impossible to pass through it. The only way to get through was with the help of the corpses of these birds.
Baili Xin bowed to the birds, then took a deep breath and jumped onto the thorn bush.
As soon as he jumped up, a huge suction force suddenly rushed up from the direction, and Baili Xin's body immediately fell uncontrollably.
Fortunately, with the blocking of the bird corpses, Baili Xin was able to support the bodies of the birds so that they were not pierced by the thorn bushes and turned into a hornet's nest.
He looked at his hands in surprise, then clenched them into fists and tried again.
In this thorn bush, all his strength disappeared.
This thorn forest not only has strong pressure, but also has the power to negate all forces.
No wonder these birds are impaled here.
In order to reach the innermost Diamond Mountain, they kept passing through the thorn forest that was the only passage, and were constantly pierced by the thorn forest. They kept relying on the corpses of the birds in front of them to pass through the thorn forest with difficulty.
Baili Xin took a deep breath and walked carefully among the spikes.
He did not run with big strides this time, partly because of the influence of hypergravity and partly because he did not want to desecrate these tragic messengers of the sky.
It took him five hours to walk out of this vast thorn forest.
The moment I passed through the thorn forest, the feeling of overweight disappeared from my body.
When it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Baili Xin also discovered that this time the "sunlight" above his head showed no sign of setting.
The light remains the same, nothing has changed.
Baili Xin looked back and found two small dots at the end of the path. They should be Zhao Nan and Chi Yan. Because they were too far away, he did not greet them, but chose to move forward.
There was another winding diamond mountain road ahead. After waiting for half an hour until he crossed the diamond road, he stopped again.
There should have been a vast ocean in front of him, but now the sea was filled with countless bird skeletons. The endless ocean had now turned into a flat land made of skeletons.
Jingwei filled the sea, but what Jingwei failed to do was accomplished by this unknown white bird.
If the first time he felt it was shocking, and the second time he felt it was astonishing, then this time he couldn't find any adjective to describe it.
The Diamond Mountain that was originally hazy and blurry in the distance is now right in front of us, and we can reach it by crossing this "ocean".
However, this time Baili Xin did not leave in too much of a hurry. To him, time at this moment was just the difference between adding 1 or subtracting 1 from a huge number.
He squatted on the ground and picked up a bird's skull from the numerous skeletons and examined it.
He looked very carefully, as if he could see the life of the bird through these bones.
Baili Xin stared at the bird's skull for several minutes, and only let it go when his eyes began to daze. He then turned around and picked up another skull to observe.
Through observation of the skeletons just now, we can basically confirm that these birds are the same species as the birds in the Diamond Mountain and the thorn bushes mentioned above.
For some reason, he suddenly developed a great interest in this bird.
What kind of bird is this? It can fill up the sea with its body, flatten the thorn bushes with its body, and finally peck through the entire Diamond Mountain with its beak.
Does this bird have a name? What is it called? Where does it come from
Is this a gene imprinted in its heart, or does it have some other purpose
Baili Xin was lost in thought, his fingers unconsciously stroking the skull.
Suddenly, Baili Xin's eyes were startled, and he looked down at the skeleton in his arms in surprise.
He stroked the skulls carefully and attentively with his fingertips, as if he had discovered something, and picked up the skull he had just picked up to observe it.
After comparing the two back and forth, he put them down at the same time and grabbed a third one from his hand.
After repeating this hundreds of times, he finally seemed to have found the answer, and he carefully put the skeleton back into the pile of bones.
When he looked at the skeletons in front of him again, his pupils contained a complex expression that could not be described in words.
There was a crystal clear diamond cover above his head, and the sunlight was coming from nowhere. Baili Xin took a long breath, slowly stood up and continued to move forward.
But this time his look changed, from curiosity at the beginning to unusual determination.
As Baili Xin walked, he looked down at the bones of his feet.
Every time he passed by a place where bones were scattered, he would stop, bend down and straighten them out.
The time in the taskbar kept jumping, and as the watch time numbers slowly jumped to 00:00:01, the time also entered the next day.
He had been walking in this sea of bones for more than ten hours, but he didn't feel tired at all.
Chi Yan and Zhao Nan were nowhere to be found, and it was estimated that they were still trapped in the bushes.
However, with those bird corpses forming a shield, I believe the two of them should not have any problems. It is only a matter of time to get here.
This area was extremely quiet. There was no sea breeze, no seabirds, only the "crunching" sound of Baili Xin's footsteps stepping on the bones and Baili Xin's own light breathing.
After walking for another 24 hours, Baili Xin finally saw the end of the ocean, which was also the end of Diamond Mountain.
As he walked along, he could no longer count how many bird skeletons there were.
They were stacked one on top of the other, one next to the other, layer upon layer. Even Baili Xin was dazzled by the sight.
With another sigh, Baili Xin continued to move forward.
In front of him was Diamond Mountain, which he once thought was unattainable. He could feel its height when it was far away, and now that it was closer, the feeling of height increased rather than diminished.
But no matter how tall it is, it is just a paper tiger in front of Baili Xin, because a passage has been dug in the Diamond Mountain in front of him, and Baili Xin can pass through this narrow passage without any effort.
Walking along the passage, there are still countless bird skeletons, but these skeletons have turned into fossils. The fossils, which show the baptism of time, are placed at both ends of the road, as if they are the silent guardians of this passage.
Baili Xin stopped in front of the fossil and looked at it for a while before moving on.
As Baili Xin moved forward, light could no longer shine through the diamonds. After walking for about half an hour, the passage in front of them became dark.
Compared with this tunnel, the tunnel that was dug by ourselves is obviously dwarfed by the others.
He ran day and night without stopping for a whole day and night before he finally saw light in front of him.
Another hour later, he left the tunnel.
At the moment when the blazing light came, he vaguely saw a figure appear in front of him.
The light stung his eyes, and Baili Xin closed his eyes consciously and smiled at himself.
Really, have you thought about it to the point of seeing hallucinations
However, a second of firm and warm embrace told me that it was not an illusion.
Baili Xin was suddenly stunned. When he wanted to open his stinging eyes and look up at the man's figure, the man's hand with slightly calloused skin was placed on the back of Baili Xin's head, and the man held him tightly in his arms.
Baili Xin heard the familiar man sigh, "Long time no see."
At that moment, all the blood in Baili Xin's body began to tremble.
His fingertips were a little stiff and white due to excitement. With his head buried in the man's broad chest, Baili Xin's fingers tightly grasped the other's sleeve, and his voice was slightly choked with sobs, "Yeah."
The man chuckled in a hoarse voice and gently patted Baili Xin's back with his palm, soothing the little animal that showed a vulnerable expression.
The two of them maintained this action, neither of them wanting to let go and the other not wanting to leave.
No one said much, but everyone understood each other.
No words or even eye contact were needed.
Time seemed to stand still for the two of them, until Baili Xin's stomach growled, and then Dijia let Baili Xin go.
The young man's eyes were slightly red and his expression was aggrieved.
Dijia laughed, "Are you hungry? Haven't eaten in a few days?"
The young man thought about it carefully and said, "Three days."
"There is some food there, come with me," Dijia said, leading Baili Xin forward.
Only then did Baili Xin have time to observe the surrounding environment.
Unlike the Diamond Mountain behind it, there are other colors here.
The ground beneath the feet is normal soil, and there are lush flowers, plants and trees growing around it, making it look like a tropical rain forest.
Dijia was very familiar with this place. He took Baili Xin through the jungle quickly and skillfully, and soon arrived at a cave deep in the jungle.
Baili Xin followed Dijia and asked, "Why are you here?"
Dijia paused for a moment, looked back at Baili Xin, and continued walking forward: "Who do you think it is?"
Baili Xin: "Diga."
"Hiss, that's not what I meant," Dijia thought for a moment, "Uh, I'm asking, do you know which Dijia it is?"
But he felt that his question was a bit strange, so he added, "Aren't there a lot of soul fragments? Or which Emperor you hope it is."
Baili Xin: "Well, which you are not you?"
"But if you really want to know, you should be the Emperor of the 999th floor, right?"
"When did you wake up?"
Dijia turned around and gave Baili Xin a satisfied look before continuing, "I came to see you just a few days after waking up."
Blissin: “Oh, really?”
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the cabin.
Although the cabin is simply decorated, you can tell the owner has put a lot of thought into it. Everything is brand new and it doesn't look like it has ever been used.
Dijia found some fresh fruits from the cabinet, brought them to Baili Xin, and then asked Baili Xin to sit down.
Seeing Baili Xin eating the fruit without any resistance, Dijia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked down at the young man in front of him carefully, and the nostalgia in his eyes almost overflowed.
Just as he was watching intently, Baili Xin suddenly raised his head without saying a word, "Come to think of it, why are you here?"
Dijia: "After waking up, I found that you were trapped in a time cage. I was curious about how you were going to get out, so I came to see."
"But it looks like you've given me another surprise. I didn't expect you to be here so soon."
Baili Xin looked at Dijia deeply and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that there would be a bird that would always help."
Dijia pulled a rattan chair in front of Baili Xin and sat down: "Really? Then you are really lucky. You must thank the bird."
"You are right," Baili Xin, "Thank you."
Dijia was stunned for a moment, then said with a twinkling look in his eyes: "What are you talking about? I asked you to thank the bird you mentioned, why are you thanking me?"
Baili Xin pursed her lips and stared into Dijia's eyes.
His eyes were firm, yet a little mischievous.
Dijia was a little frightened by the stare, and moved his rattan chair to the side, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's quite weird."
Baili Xin chuckled helplessly, "Do you still remember the copy of the Necromancer? In that copy, the head of your body was a skeleton."
Dijia was stunned for several seconds, like a patient suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and it took him a long time to come to his senses, "Oh, you mean that copy, what happened?"
Baili Xin: "Do you remember that time when your head was a skeleton and you went to bed and touched each other intimately?"
Dijia swallowed his saliva and said, "Are you saying this now to make him angry because you miss him, or are you hinting at something?"
"Hey, stop pretending. You know what you are talking about," Baili Xin yawned as he felt tired, and slumped lazily on the back of the chair. "When I touched your skeleton's head, I found a very familiar detail on your skull, which is a small bulge in the middle."
"Originally, I didn't find anything. Birds pecking at diamonds is just like mayflies flying into the sky to reproduce even though they know they will die. It's just the nature of living things."
“Until I accidentally ‘touched’ the skeletons of the birds that were reclaimed from the sea.”
"I touched the same details as your skull."
The expression on Dijia's face froze and his eyes began to flicker rapidly. He opened his mouth to explain something, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Baili Xinchu.
"Of course, this is not enough to prove that the bird is you. I just think it's very strange. So I started observing them one by one."
"Then I suddenly realized that all the skeletons looked exactly the same. Although the weathering was different due to the different time of death, it was still clear that they were not similar, but the same. There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, not even clones."
"Unless it's the same person all the time." Baili Xin paused and raised his eyebrows, "Oh, no, it should be the same bird."
A huge dilemma came over him. Baili Xin wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were like striking workers who would not work no matter what.
His eyelids were shaky and Baili Xin supported himself with the hands beside him, his blurry vision no longer able to focus.
He watched Diga stand up from the chair, and then watched Diga's figure gradually grow larger.
The body was picked up by someone. Baili Xin looked up at the blurred face in front of him and whispered: "Emperor Jia, you filled up the sea, dug up the diamond mountain, paved the thorny road... How long have you stayed in this time..."
After saying this with difficulty, Baili Xin's consciousness could no longer hold on and he sank deeply into darkness.
In this diamond mountain, his strength had already been drained, and he had been running for three days and three nights without food or water.
He didn't feel anything wrong when he was running, but now that he was relaxing from that state, he felt an unprecedented tiredness.
Before he completely lost consciousness, he heard the man's vague sigh and his somewhat helpless answer.
"About 100 billion years."
____________________________
Game lobby, live broadcast room.
The players resting in the lobby were bored and scrolling through the live broadcast room, killing their rare peaceful days.
As usual, nothing special.
The same is true for Li Cangshan. He is a novice player. He has just completed the first dungeon after the trial dungeon and upgraded the floor from the 1st floor to the 8th floor.
He nervously and expectantly opened the email message that the system had just sent, and it still contained those few words.
Rejection of membership application.
With a slight sigh, Li Cangshan put the email aside, turned around and opened the live broadcast room, wanting to see how other seniors cleared the dungeon.
Rejection must be because it is not good enough!
Once he learns how to act cool, he will make Sister Cancan accept him!
Li Cangshan went to watch the only copy of Xin Shen, which he had memorized by heart. After silently repeating "Hello, President" three times in his heart, he opened other live broadcast rooms out of boredom.
I don't know what's going on. I clearly went through all the dungeons, and there were also some awesome characters in other dungeons, but it just didn't look as fun as watching Xin Shen's dungeon.
He was fortunate enough to meet a fan of God Xin in the dungeon. During the dungeon, he also heard a lot about God Xin's previous feats in completing the dungeon. After listening, he had only one feeling: You were not yet born, and you were already old when you were born!
Why did God let him know about Shen Xin, but made him miss him only by watching the only video of Shen Xin
Woo woo woo, since he is destined to lose, why should he have had it in the past
No, he didn't even have it!
He also wants to watch Xin Shen’s live broadcast.
Li Cangshan stared blankly at the big screen in the live broadcast room and shouted: "Believer Li Cangshan, I am willing to exchange ten years of my life for watching Xin Shen's live broadcast once!"
A video window suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room.
Above the video window is an official introduction window.
Dungeon: Time Cage - Eternal Diamond Mountain. Taskers: Baili Xin, Chi Yan, Zhao Nan...
There were many other names following the tasker, totaling more than ten.
Li Cangshan's expression froze instantly. He silently clicked on the video, looked at the characters in the video, and then looked at the character introductions on the video. His eyes were so wide that they almost made a hole in the computer screen.
Li Cangshan: “…”
Damn, it can’t be that effective, right? It’s a good god
I was just kidding. Is it too late to take back what I said now?!
Many people soon poured into the live broadcast room.
Li Cangshan stared blankly at the number of people in the upper right corner, and saw that the number of people had soared from over a hundred at the beginning to tens of thousands in the blink of an eye, and even continued to rise at an unimpeded speed.
In the screen, countless barrages of comments appeared one after another.
Welcome back to God Xin!
Welcome back to God Xin!
Welcome back to God Xin!
The barrage of comments came one after another, completely covering the entire screen, and only a small bit of the picture could be seen between the gaps between the words.
Li Cangshan had never seen such a scene before. He stared in amazement for two seconds, then suddenly realized something and quickly opened the chat window.
Li Cangshan: Sister Cancan! God Xin! God Xin’s live broadcast room is open!
Li Cancan: I know, we have seen it. It has been almost three years, and he finally... finally appeared... We knew that he would definitely make it out, because he is the God of Sin. He is omnipotent, so how could he be trapped in eternity.
Li Cangshan: Did you all see it
Li Cancan: Zhou Guang and Liang Xi are all together. Xia Chi went to training, but we have already notified him and he has come here.
Li Cancan: Thank you for reminding us.
Li Cangshan: No, you're welcome. It's just a small favor to know that Xinshen means something different to you.
Li Cancan: I have never doubted his ability. We have always believed in him and have been waiting silently. It's great. He is worthy of it. Xia Chi and others must be crying miserably.
The image of the arrogant boy with tears on his face emerged in Li Cangshan's mind, and he shuddered. But why did God Xin come back suddenly
Li Cancan: I don’t know, but he will definitely give us an answer, so let’s wait and see!
