The sky and the earth are like two flat surfaces. They are parallel to each other, extending endlessly and never intersecting.
Siming spent a long night.
She stood under the exquisite and luxurious caisson of the temple, looking at Shi Yuan with a deep gaze. The whole world seemed like a still symbol.
After she was defeated previously, she originally wanted to continue using her sword to force Ning to untie the slave pattern for a long time, but the other party's mental power could control and stimulate the slave pattern. She was worried and did not take action. On the way back to the imperial city, Ning Jiujiu was seriously injured and full of flaws, but it was impossible for him to kill him because they still needed to go out together and piece together the sundial.
Another dead end.
This is a year that Si Ming will never forget.
Even if she was the Lord God back then, she only had to salute and did not need to kneel down, let alone being punished by an eighteen-year-old girl.
But she no longer had the same hateful mood as when she was on the torture rack. She was clearly in the quagmire, but instead she calmed down and gradually returned to the emotions she had when she was sitting in the Kingdom of God. So she wasn't even sure whether this was a blessing or a curse for herself.
At night, Shao Xiaoli did not provoke Siming alone. She arranged many matters in the city in an orderly manner, told several ministers that she was going to travel far, and let them take charge of the overall situation.
Ning Jiujiu also stayed in the Broken Boundary City for a night. His injuries had been healed by Shura Shenlu. Every time he looked up at the sky, the shadow of Sin Lord would appear in his mind, but that shadow was also destroyed after Sin Lord left the scene. Mysteriously obscured, unable to recall a specific description.
Together they looked at the sky until dawn came.
Shao Xiaoli has already packed his luggage.
"There is nothing that the boss likes in this city, so I have to let Xiaoli give it to the boss." Shao Xiaoli told him.
She found that Ning Jiuchuan looked at her with a very kind look, a bit like a grandfather looking at his granddaughter.
As soon as these words came out, Si Ming, who was still feeling lucky at first, closed his eyes and was unable to ask: "Where do you want to send me?"
Shao Xiaoli said matter-of-factly: "Of course I can send it as far as I can. Why, does Sister Siming have any objections to me?"
Siming didn't say anything. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible and didn't want to offend this dead girl.
Lord Xueyu stood on the city wall in the early morning. He looked into the distance. When he saw Ning Jiujiu and the others walking out of the palace, he fluttered his wings and flew up, saying: "Uncle Ning, by the time you walk out, it will be almost three years." We've made an appointment, so don't be too embarrassed when the time comes."
Ning Jiujiu looked at it with a smile and said: "It's a pity that I can't take you out, otherwise you can see how I beat that girl."
"I believe that Uncle Ning can beat up other people. When meeting our Highness, it is better to keep your tail between your legs." Mr. Xueyu said eloquently: "It doesn't matter whether I can get out or not. I am a patron saint here. If we go outside, we will be the little ones behind you who are exhausted. Alas, I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, it is more comfortable here."
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said: "Then you should guard this place well. If I come back one day and find that all the people here are in ruins, I will take it from you."
Mr. Xueyu thought that Ye Wei was dead and Si Ming was leaving. Unless there was another Lord of the Kingdom of God, he would simply be the chicken king here.
It stretched out its wings, patted its chicken breast, and made a pledge.
Shao Xiaoli carried a bag with dry food and water on his back, checked it again, and left the city with them.
This is a journey that stretches for thousands of miles.
Along the way, whether it was deep gorges, volcanoes or snowy fields, there were still traces of their battles.
"Is there really an end to this world?" Shao Xiaoli asked.
"Yes." Siming replied: "That's where Ye Chu and I fell into this world."
Shao Xiaoli said sternly: "Before you speak, you must call me master. The boss is the master, and I am the mistress. Do you understand?"
Siming resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said in a coaxing tone: "It's... the mistress."
Shao Xiaoli snorted, not sure whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.
After leaving the deep gorge, Ning Jiujiu pulled out the Shura sword made of silver from his chest. He stepped on the sword and was held up by the sword in the air.
Siming also summoned the black sword. After stepping on it first, she looked at Shao Xiaoli and said, "Mistress, come up."
As she said this, she grabbed Shao Xiaoli's collar unkindly and pulled her behind.
Shao Xiaoli was very angry at such rude behavior. She wanted to take the opportunity to teach Si Ming a lesson, but the black sword suddenly rose into the air. Shao Xiaoli was so frightened that he wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pressed against her tightly. Holding her.
Siming Yujian followed Ning Changjiu.
Although Shao Xiaoli also had the first stage of longevity, she had only wielded a sword at low altitude, and she could not fly as high as she is now.
Now the whole world seemed small in her eyes, so she also felt that she was as small as a speck of dust. She was so frightened that she could only hold the woman in front of her obediently.
After flying to a high place, Shao Xiaoli saw the world more clearly.
This world is like one independent square grid after another. Each square grid has its own unique color tone, either black, gray, or deep red like dried magma. In short, they all reveal a touch of despair.
"What kind of world is this?" Shao Xiaoli murmured.
Siming replied: "A world you can't imagine."
Shao Xiaoli was so angry that he twisted her waist and said, "Isn't this nonsense... you really think I'm a child."
Siming smiled and said, "Have you memorized everything I taught you a few days ago?"
Of course Shao Xiaoli knew it by heart, but she said: "What did you teach? What did you teach? Why don't you just bully me every day..."
With that said, Shao Xiaoli looked at Ning Changjiu and said, "Boss, why don't you speak? You are about to leave. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
These days, Shao Xiaoli has been pestering Ning Changjiu a lot.
Ning Jiujiu said helplessly: "Do you have any other stories you want to hear?"
Shao Xiaoli thought seriously for a while and said: "Tell me the story of you, Lu Marion, Zhao Xianger, and the junior sister named Ning Xiaoling. Her name also has a small character..."
Ning Jiujiu said: "These are secrets that are not told."
Shao Xiaoli had already expected this answer and said: "Stingy."
Siming said sarcastically: "It seems that I have more than one mistress."
Shao Xiaoli hugged Siming's waist, the wind passed by his ears, the scenery passed by his pupils, and he quickly retreated. The sword was so fast that her heart palpitated, as if the separation was not long away.
Siming's words also made her a little more troubled.
A moment later, Ning Jiujiu suddenly heard the short clear moan of the woman behind him. He frowned and turned around, seeing Siming's legs tightly twisted, his body slightly bent, and his pale blush face filled with anger. And the flying sword under her feet kept shaking with her. Shao Xiaoli exclaimed, tilted his body and fell directly from the sword. Siming's eyes were sharp, and he pulled her up and clamped her arms. waist, so that Shao Xiaoli faces downward.
Soon after, Ning Jiujiu heard Shao Xiaoli's cry for help.
He folded his sleeves and was too lazy to care, letting them resolve their grievances on their own.
The sword flew through the air and reached the vast snowfield.
The commotion on that side had subsided, and Shao Xiaoli stood behind Siming again, hugging her waist with tears in his eyes, and secretly cursing the boss for not saving her.
"If you dare to touch that place again, I will cut your clothes open and throw them away." Siming threatened coldly.
Shao Xiaoli was forced to lower his head, but his palms were itchy, and he wanted to reach out and press them again.
Although their swords flew very fast, the world was too big and it took several hours to reach the snowfield. And because of the limited realms of this world, they can't control the sword all the time, they can only fly and stop.
"If we really go out, I would like to see how beautiful your two beloved women are that can make someone like you miss them so much."
They stopped their swords and walked onto the snowy field. Siming looked at Ning Changchun's boyish face and joked with a smile.
Ning Jiujiu said calmly: "After we go out, we will go our separate ways. From now on, we will see each other if we are destined, and if not, we will not see each other."
Siming silently stepped on the snow on the ground, and the crystal snow hugged her feet. The coldness penetrated into it, and her skin glowed with a light pink color.
Siming lowered his head slightly, looked at the toes occasionally exposed under the black robe, and said with a smile: "If I insist on seeing you, and tell them what happened here, what do you think they will think and do?"
Ning Changjiu paused for a moment, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Siming slightly coldly.
"You promised not to touch me. Master, you must keep your word." Siming's raised lips were as light as the crescent moon.
Ning Jiujiu's expression softened and he nodded: "Well, I always keep my word."
Siming's smile still didn't last long. Soon, Ning Jiujiu spoke again and said calmly: "Xiao Li, how did this sister bully you before? Just go back and bully her now. The boss will support you."
Shao Xiaoli, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly became energetic and said, "Xiao Xiaoli obeys your order!"
Siming's face suddenly turned ugly.
Ning Changjiu sat cross-legged on the snow. After recuperating for a quarter of an hour, Shao Xiaoli took Siming back from the snow. Siming didn't say a word, silently squatted down, picked up a handful of snow and patted himself. Hot cheeks.
"Are you going to cover Sister Siming somewhere else?" Shao Xiaoli squatted down beside her and asked with a smile.
Siming held on and said calmly: "No need for the mistress to worry about it."
These small interludes did not waste too much time. After traveling for a long time, they finally left the snowfield. In the village, Shao Xiaoli couldn't help but go back to the old house to take a look, then gently closed the door and locked it.
When night fell again, they had already left the village far away.
Shao Xiaoli was a little afraid of the dark, so he snuggled into Siming's arms regardless of his previous suspicion, resting his head on her breast.
"Does time here fly by so fast? Will I become an old lady when I go back?" Shao Xiaoli asked worriedly.
Siming said: "Don't worry, time is under my control. Just stay with me and you'll be fine."
Shao Xiaoli quickly leaned closer to him.
Ning Jiujiu suddenly asked: "Where are we now?"
Shao Xiaoli looked around. In the darkness, she could vaguely see that this was a wasteland that was about to become a desert.
Even Siming must have never been to these places. Who knows where they are
Just as Shao Xiaoli was thinking this, she heard Siming say something that made her stunned for a long time:
"We are still about two and a half million years away from 'now'. The glacier we walked through before was the icehouse age four million years later, which was the last glory of life. After that, creatures like Cetiosaurus will No more.”
Shao Xiaoli was confused when he heard this.
Ning looked at the night sky for a long time with a sigh: "In the Black Gorge outside our city, those babies climbing on the rock walls are actually people, right?"
Siming shook his head gently: "It doesn't count. That is another path of evolution. It's a pity that the environment is too harsh. They did not become us. Even if they gave up so much, they are still just weak monsters."
Siming suddenly smiled as he spoke: "Elimination and purging do not necessarily symbolize evolution. In an environment that is too harsh, all that is left for life is a dead end... Of course, that will be a million years later, even if it is Even the ancient gods will not survive that day."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Is this a future that cannot be changed?"
Siming shook his head and said, "I don't know, but this is the direction of time now."
Shao Xiaoli gradually understood, and said: "You mean, the place where Duanjie City is located is millions of years in the future?"
Siming said: "Boundary City is an exception. It was built by that woman just to accommodate those tribesmen."
Shao Xiaoli recalled the harsh world outside the city. Along the way, they saw the ruins of volcanoes, canyons filled with poison, and wastelands with few living creatures. In these places, the people of Breaking Boundary City spent countless It took hundreds of years to cultivate and finally reach the ice field.
But what a long time elapsed between the hope they thought and the real end.
It turns out that this is the real long night.
Shao Xiaoli stood up from Siming's arms. Sometimes she looked forward, sometimes backward, and said, "Why is this happening?"
No one answered her.
Shao Xiaoli was silent for a long time, looked at Siming, and asked seriously: "Then what kind of world is this?"
Siming and Ning Changjiu said in unison: "This is a cross-section of time."
…
…
"We are now in the Secret Scripture of Mountains and Seas Cangliu. It is the scripture beside the throne of the God Lord, and it is also the history book of this world. It calculates and records the hundreds of millions of years from the birth of the world to the present, and also calculates millions of years later. In the future, after the death of the God Lord, his will will be incorporated into the secret scriptures, so the world will become more blessed and real."
Siming's words sounded gently in the night: "So we are equivalent to walking forward from the last page of the history book, walking through the future, present and past of this world, all the way to the end."
"The end?" Shao Xiaoli couldn't calm down for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "What is the end?"
Siming said: "That is the beginning of all things, the beginning of chaos, the starting point of all brilliance, and... the title page of the secret realm of mountains and seas."
"We are the people in the book..." Shao Xiaoli said: "What about the people in the Broken Boundary City? Can they actually never get out? Even if they come to the end, they can only see endless chaos?"
Siming hummed and said, "That's true."
This result is so disappointing.
Ning Jiujiu had guessed the whole picture of this world before, so he deliberately asked the spirit of the Sword Scripture to pay attention to the texture of the rocks, just to guess the current era.
Shao Xiaoli came to Siming's side, snuggled up gently and said, "You will come back in the future, right?"
Si Ming looked at Ning Changjiu.
Ning Jiujiu nodded gently: "Yes."
Shao Xiaoli stretched out his hand: "Let's pull the hook!"
In the dark night, the three people's fingers touched together.
There is a wind blowing in the distance. It is the wind blowing from the end, passing through the vicissitudes of hundreds of millions of years. Those long splendid or lonely eras are nothing more than a microcosm of thousands of miles of land in this world.
In the dark night, they rested for a while and continued walking forward.
"In the real world, does one of our breaths last for decades, or even hundreds of years?" Shao Xiaoli couldn't help but hold his breath.
Siming's words became softer and he said: "You don't have to think too much about these things. It's also my fault. I shouldn't have told you this... Now that I've seen it, I can't forget it. This is destined to be a hindrance for you in the future."
Shao Xiaoli hummed and tried to calm down.
In the dark night, she couldn't see clearly the scene around her. Everything seemed to be desolate except for desolation.
After a long time, the sky lit up again.
They came to an ice field again. Shao Xiaoli made some calculations in his mind and knew that this would be about hundreds of thousands of years later.
Judging from the scale of this history book, it is only a short period.
I don’t know how long I’ve been gone.
Ning Jiujiu suddenly stopped with his sword.
"It's such a beautiful era." Siming looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
It is a harbor of green mountains and green waters, with high clouds and clear sky, peach blossoms all over the mountains, a few green peaks like ink, winding streams like satin, and hidden villages and farmhouses in the deep rift valleys, where men farm and women weave, and chickens and dogs Hearing about each other makes me happy but not sad.
In this era, the collapse of the world is as far away as a legend, and the ice that is thousands of miles away has not yet arrived. It is as peaceful as a small boat docked on the shore, with both sides of the bank filled with smoke and willows.
Not only Shao Xiaoli, but even Ning Changjiu felt lingering.
"But this is not the real world after all." The lingering look in Si Ming's eyes faded and he said: "This is just a record in the secret scripture."
Ning Jiujiu said: "But they live so truly."
Siming smiled calmly: "That is their luck and misfortune."
They can never awaken and understand the truth of the world, but they can be happy forever.
Ning Jiujiu knew that they could be intoxicated, but he had to be sober.
These beautiful scenery are like Yiyi Yangliu waiting for words, but after all, they are not the real hand of Li Ren.
Shao Xiaoli suddenly said: "Let's leave something behind."
"Huh?" Ning looked back for a long time.
Shao Xiaoli said seriously: "I think every era should have its own name."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and handed over his sword.
Shao Xiaoli took the sword, thought about it seriously, and then carved two words on a stone: "Taoxiang."
From then on, this period of history had its name: "Taoxiang."
…
Then they moved on.
When Shao Xiaoli got tired, he lay on Siming's back and took a nap. Every time the three of them passed a place, they would carve some words on the stone there.
This is proof that they were here.
But outside Taoxiang, in the world about three thousand years ago, there seemed to be a seemingly "insignificant" fault.
After that fault, there was a barbaric era, where the climate was warm, ferocious beasts were rampant, and ancient gods were conceived in secret. The first human beings slashed and burned, drank blood from their hair, and occasionally looked up at the stars as they staggered forward. At that time, they did not know how to raise a sword into the sky.
Ning Jiujiu carved the word "prehistoric" on a stone.
Moving forward, the climate is getting colder and colder, and the timing is beginning to get messy. This is a sign of the coming of the glacier.
The world seems to be going through a cycle infinitely. It accepts the creatures that have survived the disaster, gives birth to new lives, and then destroys them together many years later.
Cold is coming again, the world is covered in ice and snow, and many land masses have sunk into the sea. The whole world is like a huge ice chamber, with no trace of life in sight.
Shao Xiaoli was so cold that he wanted to get directly into Si Ming's clothes.
Before leaving, she carved the words "Snow Country" here.
Then the glaciers melted.
This is the era named "Silent" by the Secretary.
After the Silent Era, the mountains arched high, molten lava hit the sea water, billowing smoke covered the sky, and disasters reshaped the mountains and rivers. The world seemed to have fallen into a catastrophe of destruction, but also seemed to have received a new baptism.
Ning Jiujiu carved the word "Jie Hui".
This period of history was named the "Age of Ashes".
They kept walking and then saw the beginning of disaster.
A star streaked across the sky.
Going further, it was an era that made Ning Jiujiu feel astonished.
That was the era of the ancient Canglong.
Countless ancient dragons travel through the world. Some of them are like giant pythons, with scaly claws, and some are like huge lizards, covered with extremely long wingspan. They are wrapped around the natural sacred pillars, breathing dragon breath, and there is thunder and lightning between every noisy sound. The friction of fire.
They are the absolute masters of this world.
But they didn't know when they looked far away that it was already sunset for the kingdom.
This is the era of "Cang Long".
The further they move forward, the less they talk. The vicissitudes of life are not only reshaping the world, but also silently changing their Taoist hearts.
Even though Siming had seen this before, he still couldn't suppress all his emotions.
After that, they witnessed the beginning and annihilation of many lives.
The appearance of the world is constantly changing, and everything is returning to its original state, gradually returning to its original moment.
They saw the first fish jump onto the shore, before life had grown a backbone. And every weak, transparent fish may be an ancient dragon that will roam the world and roar in the future.
Obviously this is the beginning of the world, but the mountains and terrain are getting more and more wrinkled, like an old man in his twilight years.
After that, they flowed through the debris deposited by the ocean, and gradually moved toward the end.
A huge world of ice and sea is approaching.
It was the largest "snow country" they had ever seen, and it was also the first snow country since the birth of the world. There was no life or vegetation here, and it was as quiet as a fossilized dragon egg.
"This is it." Siming said softly.
Before they knew it, nearly another month had passed.
For Shao Xiaoli, this glacier is the endless night before Ning Chang's departure, and for those waiting outside, this is the long dawn before his return.
The two swords flew into the sky together.
The three people traveling together swept towards the end of the ice sea.
The world of ice and snow disappears, and everything is cut off here. They seemed to be on the edge of a cliff.
This is the end of the whole world.
The plane at the end falls downwards.
Ahead is a gnawing darkness, in which countless extinct star stones seem to float, and also like the chaotic black sea bred by the legendary gods.
There was no light there, and the long and narrow darkness was so despairing.
They finally came here.
"Are you scared if you go back alone?" Ning Changjiu looked away from the darkness and looked at the girl in the red dress.
Shao Xiaoli rubbed his eyes and said: "With the boss here, I am not afraid, but without the boss... I have no choice but not to be afraid."
Ning Jiujiu patted her head gently, poured spiritual power into her body continuously, and said softly: "I will come to take you out. Xiao Li should have really grown up by then."
"Well, we have hooked up, and the boss is not allowed to break his promise." Shao Xiaoli held back tears.
The young man left home and his boss came back.
The boss will eventually go back. This is something she knew when they first met.
And she wants to go back after leaving home... They are on completely opposite paths.
I have been with you for thousands of years, but my appearance has not changed.
"Let's get started." Si Ming lowered his eyes, regaining consciousness from the grief of spring and autumn, and called out a small bird that looked like moonlight. That is the spirit refined by the sundial.
Ning Jiujiu also called out the Golden Crow.
The two blended together in perfect harmony, transforming into the shape of a complete sundial in the air, and they fell into the dark ocean together.
Siming suddenly turned around and hugged Shao Xiaoli.
The girl in the red skirt also stood on tiptoes. She said something in Siming's ear, then held Siming's face and kissed her red lips. She bit her pink lips with her teeth. After a long time, she release.
The sundial sank into the dark sea.
Then the chaotic world began to boil.
It seems that in ancient mythology, the great god Pangu opened the sky with an axe, and beams of dazzling and brilliant light broke through the eternal darkness. There seemed to be a Kunpeng arching his body underneath, about to pierce the sea water, revealing the body of the myth. .
The joys and sorrows of mankind, the vicissitudes of mountains and seas, all seem insignificant in this epic opening chapter.
Siming turned around slowly.
The light that penetrated the universe overwhelmed her.
This was an unprecedented light they had seen.
The blood in Ning Changjiu's heart surged and roared at this moment, turning into an empty and angry wave, inspiring everything in front of him.
Ahead, in the chaotic darkness, a pale red sun slowly rose.
This was the first sunrise before history began.
Each of them is a witness.
And the door to the Kingdom of God, which had been silent for seven hundred years, finally opened for them at this moment.
