Chapter 422 Proceeding
I must be dreaming…
Zhou Tian’s consciousness was unclear. He could feel that “himself” was disappearing, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
Until he saw Meng Zhen, who seemed to be very anxious, pull off a piece of grass next to him and swallow it without hesitation.
A strange gray-white light spread across her body. She looked painful, but her movements never stopped.
This... is the solution Meng Zhen came up with.
If it was this plant that made Zhou Tian become like this, then if he was also parasitized by this plant, he should also have the same ability as Zhou Tian - absorbing "gray" into his body.
She grabbed Zhou Tian's arm and put her forehead against his. A stream of gray light flowed out from Zhou Tian's mouth and nose and penetrated into Meng Zhen's body.
Thanks to this, Zhou Tian's consciousness became clearer and clearer.
Until... Meng Zhen completely fainted.
----
Let’s get back to reality.
After listening to the old butler's words, Bai Yanliang remained silent.
At this time, Bai Yanren had already taken action against Song Que.
"I want your eyes."
His tone was not one of solicitation but of notification.
The next second, Song Que's eyes went dark and he was struck by panic.
"what!!!!"
No one expected that Bai Yanren would take Song Que's eyeball out of his eye socket without any warning!
On the surface, he clearly did nothing, but Song Que's eyeballs did fly out on their own.
Song Que fell on the desk, but he soon realized that something was wrong.
His first reaction was panic, not pain.
Why didn't I feel any pain when my eyes were removed?
Song Que didn't believe that Bai Yanren was so kind as to use his special abilities to relieve his pain.
Not only that, Song Que touched the area under his eye sockets and found that not a drop of blood had flowed.
"No need to be surprised."
The person who spoke was Bai Yanliang.
He raised his head, as if coming back to his senses from the story told by the old butler.
Only this time, Bai Yanliang's expression was even more indifferent, even cold.
"Because this is not your eye," Bai Yanliang said to Song Que, "Your eyes died when you were young. This is something placed by Zhou Tian and Meng Zhen. It mimics the eyes and replaces their functions. It exists in your body."
Bai Yanren glanced at Bai Yanliang, seemingly not expecting him to say that.
"Do you still want to come with me?"
Bai Yanren suddenly asked.
For Bai Yanliang, the mystery of his life experience came to him suddenly, but for Bai Yanren, he seemed to have known Bai Yanliang's origins for a long time.
Bai Yanliang felt that perhaps Bai Yanren had made some kind of deal with Zhou Tian.
At this moment, Bai Yanren's question made Bai Yanliang confirm his guess.
For a moment, he felt a little absurd.
"The next one you're going to visit is Xu Zhifei?"
Bai Yanliang asked.
This question seemed to influence Bai Yanliang's next decision.
Bai Yanren did not hesitate at all: "Of course, I want to take away the things Zhou Tian entrusted to them."
Bai Yanliang remained silent.
He knew that Bai Yanren was referring to Song Que's special eyes and Xu Zhifei's ability to "predict dreams".
Rather than saying it’s their ability, it’s better to say... Zhou Tian had tampered with them a long time ago.
This is the same information that Zhou Tian himself revealed before.
"Go." Bai Yanliang nodded.
Song Que lost his eyes and could only hear Bai Yanliang's voice.
But at this moment, he was so angry that he shouted: "Bai Yanliang! What are you going to do?!"
"I don't care what plans or plots you have, and I don't care if you are doing this for other people, I want to tell you..."
"What you are doing now is wrong! Even if the result is right, what you are doing is still wrong!"
Bai Yanliang's whole body trembled slightly, but he did not answer.
"Let's go." He continued to say to his brother.
"Bai Yanliang!!!"
Song Que struggled to hold on to the desk and groped towards Bai Yanliang.
"I don't know you like this! I don't believe you chose him! But no matter what your reasons are, don't do this..."
Song Que fell to the ground with a thud.
Bai Yanliang subconsciously bent down and tried to support him, but his movement stopped in mid-air and then he gave up.
"I beg you..."
Song Que's last few words were almost inaudible.
However, Bai Yanliang remained unmoved and continued to say to Bai Yanren: "Let's go."
"Ugh……"
The old butler stepped forward and helped Song Que up.
Song Que struggled and asked: "Help me to Bai Yanliang, quickly!"
"Master..."
"They're gone."
----
The strange whistling sound of the wind awakened the drowsy consciousness.
My eyes suddenly opened and all I saw was a gray fluorescent light.
As consciousness returned to the body, a severe headache suddenly came over me.
Although the fragmented memories were even more chaotic, they came flooding back in greater numbers, gradually piecing together a scene from before.
It turned out that as they continued to descend to the bottom of the cave, a strong wind suddenly blew and everyone was swept down and fell into the deep cave.
"Ugh..." Ren Wudao groaned and raised his hand to press his painful temple. There were abrasions all over his body.
He looked around. The light here was not strong, but not dim either. It was enough for him to see the surrounding scenery clearly.
Most of the people sent by the Yecheng officials have disappeared. Perhaps they are in the deeper darkness, or perhaps they have been swept into other caves.
That’s right. It was only then that Ren Wudao saw that under the flow of gray light, there were deep holes more than one meter wide everywhere on the ground and walls, and it was unknown where they led to.
There was no one else he knew around him.
When Zhou Tian asked him to come down, he told him about the situation below. Now it seems that this place is even more bizarre than what Zhou Tian mentioned.
Zhou Tian said that originally there was only one deep hole underneath, but as time passed, more and more holes appeared underground, and when all the holes expanded into one and connected as one, the tree crown would break through the ground, completely connecting the two worlds.
By then, completely different world rules will collide with each other and destroy each other in a physical sense.
And the only chance is to find the hole that originally appeared here before everything happened. There... is the original connection point.
According to Zhou Tian, he will go to the fog world at the same time, find the original point of the fog world, and then the two of them will become fish eyes.
Communicate and circulate the "original" rules of the two worlds to avoid mutual conflict and destruction.
In this process, the two people at the origin will also usher in the sublimation of life and become gods in the human sense.
Ren Wudao had no interest in becoming a god or not, he didn't even believe what Zhou Tian said.
He came back here and obeyed Zhou Tian's orders for only one very simple reason -
His sister, Yu Sheng, did come back to life, but if she wants to continue living, she still needs to rely on Zhou Tian's power...
So, he came here.
