Origin Canyon.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Queen Anxi looked at Xia Lei in the form of a human woman, "You may be seriously injured because of this. In the past month, you have made rapid progress. The situation is also changing because of you, you can wait and wait until the time is more mature before going back."
"No, I have already decided. Can't you know my thoughts? You should know how strong my desire is." Xia Lei said.
"When I first met you, I could easily capture your thoughts and know what was in your heart. But now I can't. You are already very powerful, and I can no longer capture your thoughts. Your original The mark is protecting you, and there's nothing I can do about it," said the Queen of Rest.
The original mark it refers to is Xia Lei's cosmic mark.
Xia Lei's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of a child, "Queen of Peace, I met a child, and there was a mass of black energy in his brain. He is just a child, but I can't control his brain. I can only I can capture his random thoughts, but I can’t enter his brain and mine his memories. Is his situation the same as mine?"
"Black energy?"
"Yes, black energy, I don't know what kind of energy it is." Xia Lei thought
Lie Zheng's appearance appeared in Xia Lei's mind again, as well as the black energy in Lie Zheng's brain. I don't know why, but I feel uneasy when I think about it now.
"The black energy you mentioned, I know that there is a person who once possessed it, and that person was very scary." Queen Anxi recalled, "But I'm not sure, after all, 1,000 years have passed, and I haven't seen him yet. I don’t know about the child who passed away.”
"Who is that person you are talking about?"
"The king of the Blue Moon people, Shenyue Ruyi." Queen Anxi said.
"Ah?" Xia Lei was stunned on the spot.
"But you are talking about a child, and it is definitely not him." Queen Anxi said: "Maybe the voice god Yue Ruyi has something to do with it. When you met this child, why didn't you kill him directly? Black energy is an evil Energy, whether a child has it or not, can be a huge hazard in the future.”
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "I wanted to kill Li Feng, the president of the Black Market Alliance, so I missed the opportunity to kill him. Now it seems that I let go of a real big fish and only caught a small fish. .I had no better choice in the situation at that time, maybe this was fate."
"Promise me that you will kill that child no matter what next time you meet him. I feel a little uneasy." Queen Rest said.
Xia Lei nodded, "I will." After a pause, he said again: "Dear Queen Anxi, please send me back. I want to go home and take a look."
"I promised you that I will fulfill my promise. In the past month, I have made relevant preparations. Now it seems that you yourself have also made your own preparations, and your soul energy has been very strong. Strong and capable of this journey." Queen Anxi walked to Xia Lei and looked at Xia Lei from a very close distance, "But I want to know, how long do you want to stay in that world?"
Xia Lei thought for a moment, "One week, one week?"
Queen Anxi smiled and said, "You are really greedy. I thought you were just staying for a while, taking a look and then coming back. I didn't expect you wanted to stay there for a week. According to your human concept of time, a week is not a short period of time." time."
"Dear Queen of Peace, can you help me realize this wish? Please help me realize this wish. It is so important to me." Xia Lei's eyes were full of hope and desire.
Queen Anxi smiled bitterly, "Okay, I will try my best to help you realize this wish, but whether we can succeed or not depends on our luck. I hope our luck is good enough."
"Thank you for resting in peace, Queen!" Xia Tian's heart was extremely excited.
"So are you ready?"
Xia Lei nodded, "I've been ready for a long time."
"Then let's get started." Queen Rest in the form of a human woman disappeared, replaced by a blue energy tree. It emerged from the ground, flew up, and turned into a towering and huge energy tree in the blink of an eye.
Xia Lei was very small in front of it, like a little squirrel at the foot of a giant tree. He had to raise his head to see the tree crown under the sky. Countless energy roots hang down from the branches, swaying in the wind, like a light curtain, dreamy and beautiful.
The moment Xia Lei looked up, countless energy roots suddenly dropped from the sky, and then rushed towards him like a tide. In just the blink of an eye, those energy roots wrapped him up. The energy roots formed a cocoon, and he was the insect in the cocoon preparing to turn into a butterfly.
Xia Lei couldn't see anything, not even the Queen of Rest in the form of an energy tree, nor the deep starry sky. His vision was filled with blue energy beams, and he was completely in an energy world.
And this was just the beginning, countless energy roots were trying to get into his skin. At that moment, the cosmic brand deep in his soul suddenly trembled, releasing the power of the brand and forming a protective layer on his skin. He didn't do this consciously, it was completely an instinctive self-protection move imprinted on the universe. It was because of the imprint's movement that the countless energy roots ready to enter his body were immediately bounced away.
At this moment, Queen Anxun's voice sounded in his ears, "Relax, I have to enter your body and your soul, so that I can help you realize that wish."
Xia Lei nodded, and then completely relaxed himself. Unexpectedly, because of the complete relaxation of his body and mind, a consciousness also appeared in his soul, which was to allow the Queen of Rest to enter his body. If he does not have this consciousness in his soul, there is no guarantee that Cosmic Brand will take self-protective actions again.
With his body and mind relaxed and his soul consciousness allowing, under these two conditions, those energy roots finally entered his body. The moment the Queen of Rest's energy entered his body, his body and soul consciousness seemed to be soaked in spring water with a moderate temperature, cool and comfortable. He didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable, Queen of Peace's energy was pure and friendly.
In this comfortable feeling, like soaking in spring water, Xia Lei's consciousness became more and more drowsy.
When the feeling of drowsiness reached its limit, his consciousness did not enter the state of sleep, but he suddenly woke up at that moment. At that subtle moment, he suddenly felt himself flying, and his eyes were filled with flying light and energy. The flowing light and energy are like a space-time tunnel, and he is flying at the speed of light in this space-time tunnel, passing through barriers after barriers, flying and flying, flying far away...
It was impossible to describe this feeling, and Xia Lei's perception of time was also chaotic. It seemed as if a thousand years had passed, and yet it seemed as if only one second had passed.
boom!
The space shook, and Xia Lei suddenly felt like he was falling from a high altitude. The sound of the wind was all over his ears, and there was an invisible darkness in front of him.
This process was extremely short, and it disappeared before he could fully appreciate the feeling of falling from a high altitude. Suddenly there was light in front of his eyes, but it was still the blue luster emitted by the blue energy beam. Just when the light returned to his field of vision, he was stunned.
He is still in the City of Origin, and the huge rocks and the blue energy trees standing among the rocks are just as they were when he left!
He also saw his two mortal enemies, Isitabu and Cassia Ruiz, who were still fighting each other!
He also saw the World Box that had fallen to the ground. It was still missing one of its horns.
He also saw the crystal skull of Holy Thunder, which was lying quietly on the ground, exactly the same as when he left.
Only, he didn't see himself. When he left, he was wrapped in energy roots, but now he is not. If we talk about changes, then this is the only change.
What was even weirder was that everything he saw was still and motionless. It gave him the feeling that it was only a second ago that he left the earth and went to the Star of Hope, but he had stayed in that world for almost a year!
One second, how long is a second
Most people don’t even feel it’s there!
Xia Lei was horrified, "How is this possible? Is this world still? This is impossible, is it still for me? If it is still for me, then what's the point of going home this time? What’s the meaning?”
Questions arose in his mind, and Xia Lei couldn't figure them out. He lowered his head subconsciously and looked at his body. Then he was shocked again. He was just a ball of energy, pure and transparent energy. Although it was in the shape of a human, it had no real body.
boom!
There was another shock, and Xia Lei was suddenly pushed up and shot out from the City of Origin. At the moment of the second shock, he saw Isitabu and Cassia Ruiz moving, and their expressions were full of horror. But with just one glance, he couldn't see anything.
The next second, the sun was shining down from above, and there was a warm wind. Xia Lei saw the blue Valletta Harbor and the medieval castle. He left this world on the island of Malta, and now he is back on the island of Malta. The City of Origin disappeared, as did Isitabu and Cascia Ruiz. He had a feeling that he had never left, but was bounced back at the most critical moment, the second before he was about to leave this world.
Time just passed by for a second. There wasn't even a second's interval, whenever he left, he would come back!
A couple passed by, a young man and woman from Italy, talking in Italian.
"It seemed like there was an earthquake just now, did you feel it?" the young man said, looking in the direction of the secret headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller.
"I felt it. It was really strange. Such a strong vibration, it seemed like an earthquake, but it was too short-lived." The young woman said, "I believe you will know what happened tonight. The newspapers will definitely report it."
The couple walked past Xia Lei without seeing Xia Lei at all.
Xia Lei's eyes moved to the young man's watch. When he saw it, he was shocked again. He clearly remembered the time, year, month, day, and even a certain minute when he left. And at that time, there was no change!
