Chapter 442: Already a Human
In the sea of consciousness, everything seemed to suddenly become completely still.
Bai Yanliang quietly looked at Bai Yanren opposite him, the other side of himself, or more precisely... another him.
Grayish-white dots of light danced around the two people, as if they were talking to them.
They are clearly one and the same, so why do they become two different people in the end?
Bai Yanliang did not answer as he listened to Bai Yanren's words which seemed to be questioning him, and also as if he was asking himself.
wrong?
What mistakes could he make?
Even his birth was an accident caused by Zhou Tian and Meng Zhen, and during his growth stage he was murdered by the person he regarded as "mother".
Although it ultimately failed, it's hard to say that it left nothing for Bai Yanren.
Perhaps if someone else experienced what Bai Yanren had experienced, they would do something even more horrible than him.
From his point of view, what Bai Yanren wants to do is just to create a place for himself.
Neither the fog world nor the human world can accommodate him. In this case, he might as well create a new world.
There seemed to be something wrong with Bai Yanren's condition. His figure was like the surface of the water wrinkled by the wind, with layers of strange fluctuations appearing.
He noticed this himself and looked down at his palms.
This is clearly the sea of consciousness shared by both of them, why is this happening?
Could it be that Bai Yanren's consciousness is disappearing?
Bai Yanliang was puzzled. He had not launched any attack on Bai Yanren yet. If possible, he would rather persuade this only "relative" of his.
"What's going on?" Bai Yanliang asked.
"Isn't it you..." After Bai Yanren glanced at Bai Yanliang, his expression completely calmed down. He looked up and said to Bai Yanliang, "I regretted separating you before. Now it seems that I did nothing wrong. Zhou Tian did something to me."
"Go away, don't think about how to fight Zhou Tian. He is not crazy, he has planned everything long ago. The giant molted worm can't eat up both worlds."
"Run away, try to run as far away as possible. Once he finishes what he wants to do, he will leave the human world on his own."
Bai Yanliang suddenly felt panic in his heart: "What did he do to you?"
“I don’t know, but it seems that I am the same as those remnants. This is the state of the remnants when they are about to break and disappear. Although I have self-awareness, my essence is still a remnant from the Mist World.”
"Perhaps, he has found a way to make the residual molt disappear completely, and has hidden this trigger in my body."
At this point, Bai Yanren suddenly laughed at himself: "For so many years, I thought I was in control of him and he was always willing to be controlled by me. Now that I think about it, the so-called resurrection of my deceased wife was probably just an excuse for him to gain my trust."
"Bai Yanliang, look, how good are humans at lying?" He stared at Bai Yanliang.
Bai Yanliang was silent for a moment. Looking at the Bai Yanren who seemed to be about to break and disappear, Bai Yanliang sighed softly: "Perhaps you haven't realized that the reason why you feel that you have control over the Zhoutian is because you believe in human emotions."
"You believe that Zhou Tian ended up serving you because his wife was willing to be used by you after he resurrected her."
"You are actually the same as me," Bai Yanliang's voice was not loud, but it shocked Bai Yanren, "You have long been polluted by human emotions."
"Bullshit!" Bai Yanren shouted angrily, "I don't exist at all. What I want to do is to create a new world. I am different from you and him. I am not a human, nor a remnant!"
"I am……"
"Brother!" Suddenly, a child's voice suddenly appeared in the sea of consciousness.
Bai Yanren was shocked and looked in the direction of Bai Yanliang in disbelief.
I saw a shadow of a child slowly taking shape, that was...
Bai Yanliang!
The real child of the Bai family, Bai Yanliang!
"You lied. Humans are really good at lying." Bai Yanliang looked at him calmly.
When did he know that the Baiyan people had already been transforming into humans?
It was the moment when the voice belonging to the real Bai Yanliang appeared in my heart.
Bai Yanliang's true memory began on the night after Bai Yanren's death.
The child's memory was even earlier. Bai Yanliang saw everything from the child's memory.
The real Bai Yanliang grew up under the care of the Bai Yan people.
During Bai Yanliang's growth process, because of the death of his parents, Bai Yanliang has always been the one playing the role of father.
As far as I can remember, he didn't find it troublesome, nor did he treat the child roughly.
Although she was at a loss and knew nothing about raising a child, Bai Yanren still tried and learned little by little and raised Bai Yanliang.
"Why did you die ten years ago? Although you have your own explanations and reasons, I know..." Bai Yanliang looked at Bai Yanren deeply.
"I am the other half of your consciousness that was separated. As you said, I am blank and ignorant, but I also possess a part of your soul power."
"And the real Bai Yanliang was affected by the strange power of Can Tui during his long contact with you. His health was always poor and he eventually died on that night ten years ago."
"That night, you died and I appeared."
Bai Yanliang's voice echoed in Bai Yanren's ears.
"Why? Because we are one, and as long as your will is still there, I will never be able to get out. Why did you save this child, end your human body, hide in the key space, and release me from Bai Yanliang's body?"
"You want me to keep this body alive, or... you are using the other half of your empty soul to nourish the child's consciousness and body that are about to dissipate."
"Bai Yanren..."
"elder brother."
"Am I right?"
The two Bai Yanliangs, one big and one small, stood together, looking at the Bai Yanren who was about to disappear. Their sea of consciousness seemed to be turbulent as a strong wind suddenly blew up, making the grass lie low and the sky was filled with grayish-white spots of light.
He has already become a human...
From the day he gained consciousness, his mind and soul began to transform into human form.
It is not surprising that the residual shell is caused by humans.
"elder brother!"
Xiaobai Yanliang shouted and was about to run over.
"do not come!"
Bai Yanren gritted his teeth, and suddenly a white light appeared. The white light seemed to have life. It rolled up little Bai Yanliang, tied up big Bai Yanliang, lifted them up high, and pretended to throw them away.
"Come closer to me...you will disappear too."
Bai Yanren lowered his head, looked at his dazed hands, and laughed softly:
"Humans are really good at lying."
"For so many years, I have been deceiving myself. I am neither a human nor a remnant. There is no place for me in this world... nor are there people like me. I want to create a new world..."
He slowly raised his head, the tenderness in his eyes was just as he remembered: "In fact, I have been accepted a long time ago."
"You have to protect the other me."
"Protect our brother."
His figure disappeared from his ankles like a bursting bubble.
"And yourself, brother."
Bai Yanren took one last look at Bai Yanliang, closed his eyes reluctantly, and his voice became quieter and quieter.
Just like that, he turned into bits of dust and disappeared in a white light, just like all the remnants before disappearing...
The same.
