Chapter 143: Separate Paths and Recognize Yourself

Sakura sat down on the sky-like ground. While secretly adjusting her body and mental state, she asked vigilantly: "What is your purpose?"

With the appearance of the "collapsed will" just now, her thinking was affected by some bad effects. She only became aware of this problem when the "will" appeared.

"Don't be nervous, take it easy, beautiful Miss Sakura, don't point your knife at me, we are not enemies. Think about it, I just saved you. As for my purpose, it is very simple, and it is not If you don't tell anyone, I will naturally send you back to him."

"Will"'s tone of voice and the smile on his face were almost exactly the same as Wutong's ungrateful appearance.

Hearing these words, Sakura was not surprised, but she didn't feel happy either. Her voice and face were cold and distant.

"What price did he pay?"

"Price? No, no, no, he didn't pay any price, so how dare I ask him for 'payment'? Don't I have to listen to whatever he says?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Stop pretending." Sakura is not a fool, how could she believe such a thing?

"Haha, okay, I just tried to make a little joke on humans, but it didn't seem to be successful. It seems that you also understand that 'free is the most expensive thing in the world'. Yes, it's really good, and you are very aware. This alone is better than many people. Unfortunately, I can't tell you the 'deal' between me and him. You can consider asking him when you go back."

"Will" gently waved his hand, "pollution" the other two "people" who had "faded" into the appearance of sycamores, and then put them together with the "throne" into his sleeves.

Sakura's eyes narrowed and she asked suspiciously: "Were you acting just now?"

"No, no, no, they and I are enemies, but... they are too weak, haha~ How does this pen fit? Dear Miss Sakura."

"not so good."

For some reason, Sakura could feel a sense of familiarity in the other person's body, which made her feel particularly awkward.

Is it because the imitation of Wutong’s unreliable appearance is too similar?

Sakura pondered for a while and asked, "What price will I have to pay?"

She would not naively think that after Wutong had "paid", she would not need to "pay" anymore.

However, "Will" smiled and said: "You don't need to pay any price. I didn't lie, because he has already 'paid' for you. It's really enviable. Miss Ying, since you met him, your luck has always been very good.

"You have a husband who loves you so much that he is reluctant to let you experience and endure the stupid and boring "ugliness" of more than half a million years, and he even abandoned his "past".

"hehe.

"But you don't have to blame yourself, you don't have to think you're stupid, and you don't have to regret it. You deserve this love. Everything he has done for you is what you deserve.

"Even when I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you. Even if he doesn't 'pay' the price for you, I won't ask for any price from you. Of course, if you are really uneasy and feel that I am not pregnant, If you have good intentions, you can consider kissing me as a 'payment'."

"Huh?" Sakura narrowed her eyes and looked very ugly.

"Uh... don't you like this joke? Well, don't be angry, just pretend that I farted just now." "Will" seemed shameless and smiled nonchalantly and said, "Actually, you were There's no need to be angry, because I don't have 'concrete' at all, and you can't even kiss me if you want."

"How should I get back to him?" Sakura didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore. She was not Wutong, so what was there to talk about?

"Are you impatient? Haha, okay, as you wish. The 'method' and 'direction' are actually very simple. When you move your eyes away from the tree of imaginary numbers and from the countless 'branches' Move away and you can see his figure... Oh, sorry, I forgot. At this time, you are too weak and may not be able to see his figure. Your vision is too narrow and you cannot help but see it. 'Tree' and 'Sea'. But it doesn't matter, I can give you a little help."

"Will" conjured a "staff" about two meters long out of thin air, which was also faded, and then gently tapped the sky-like ground.

In an instant, the "Hengkai" world shattered, and a pale pink "road" covered with cherry blossoms appeared at the feet of Sakura and "Will".

Sakura recognizes this "road". This is the "road" Wutong once set for her.

"I...have always been on this 'road'? Everything I experienced before was an illusion?" Sakura asked uncertainly.

"No, no, no, you did escape from there before the 'road' was formed, and relied on that 'miraculous' power to go back to the past. This is just a little help from me."

"Will" finished speaking with a smile, turned around and walked ahead.

"Let's go, catch up. Is the 'magic' I just performed magical? Is it handsome?"

Sakura stood up and followed her quickly, keeping a certain distance. She still held the handle of the knife tightly in her hand and did not relax her vigilance, even though she knew that her vigilance was meaningless in front of her.

"Will" has always been "enthusiastic" and does not seem to have any ill intentions.

However, Sakura's hostility towards her was never concealed.

"It's not bad, a little worse than him." Ying said calmly.

"Oh? Really? Okay, I'll just think you're complimenting me."

"Can you not imitate him? Stop talking? I'm still more used to you being a bit colder. Can you

Recover? "

"study?"

From an angle that Sakura couldn't see, the smile on "Will"'s face was meaningful: "Haha, I didn't imitate him, this is just who I used to be."

"Huh?" Sakura was slightly stunned.

What does she mean? Will the consciousness produced by "collapse" and the will formed by consciousness remain the same as before?

The essence of "collapse" is "crumbs"?

Uh...no, it doesn't seem right...

Pulling back her divergent thoughts, Sakura suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked the question she asked when they first met: "Are you Wutong?"

"I remember I have already answered this question, but it was not accurate."

"Inaccurate...?" Sakura pondered for a few seconds and boldly guessed, "Are you... the 'future' Wutong?"

"Will" said slowly: "The answer is very close. It's really smart. Unfortunately, I won't reward you with anything. Maybe you can ask for a reward."

"The Wutong of the future... That is also my past, my 'original', I said, I am the "will", the will of collapse, the will of civilization, the will of mankind, the will of self... another one' The will of the way' and 'possibility'.

"You may think that there is no Wutong in other parallel world bubbles? Haha, yes, there is no him, but from your 'now' onwards, there will be me in every world bubble.

"I am the unification of all ages, and the creator from 'one' to 'three'. I am the origin of thousands of civilizations, the chaos and ignorance of the past, the omniscience and pollution of the future, and the ruler of dreams and reality. , the ruler of nothingness and reality, the master of time and space...

"Oh, by the way, you may not like these long 'names', and I don't like them either. Maybe you are suspecting me of lying at this moment, and I don't want to excuse it, because no matter what I say, you won't believe it. , you only believe in him, so you can ask him when you go back."

"Will Wutong look like you in the future?" Sakura expressed her doubts. She really didn't believe what the other party said.

"No, more than four thousand years ago, he chose a different 'path' from me. If I remember correctly, there is a record in his diary full of lies. You can read it. If the diary is still If so."

"Will" paused, looked back at Sakura, and said with a meaningful smile: "And who is the 'source' of the different 'paths' between me and him?"

"Su." Sakura said without changing her expression.

"No, even without him, you and Wu...hehe, okay, just think it's because of him. I have already answered the doubts in your heart, and you have to walk the next road on your own."

"Will" handed the "staff" in his hand to Sakura, passed her by, and left in the direction of "the way back" without looking back.

She was born in the "future", but lives in the "original". Her own will has awakened in the "now", so she chose to return to the "source" to "pollute" countless "collapses" and "pollute" countless The "determined" end, and...the only tree of imaginary numbers.

When she was stupid, she was a puppet of the "tree", longing for freedom. After awakening her consciousness, she returned to the "embrace" of the "tree". It seemed that she could not help herself, but her soul was free.

Watching her leave, Sakura lowered her head and glanced at the faded "staff" in her hand, feeling a little unsure.

"Is this...'Destruction of Will'?"

Whether the victim is guilty depends on the specific incident. Some are completely innocent, and some have some problems themselves.

The victim may not be perfect, but the perpetrator must be guilty, even if a very small part of the victimization behavior is excusable.

"Will" gave Sakura the power to judge her again.

In fact, Sakura still had many doubts and questions in her heart, but "Will" seemed not to want to answer them, and her figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Human beings have to rely on themselves.

Looking up at the extremely long "road" in the distance, Sakura fell into a brief confusion.

The more you learn, the more questions you have.

At this time, Sakura thought of a bunch of questions. For example, the enemy of mankind may be mankind itself, but is her enemy really herself? Is the enemy of mankind her enemy?

Big trees may be able to protect small trees from wind and rain, but small trees under big trees will never grow taller.

Is what she is trying to do helping mankind defeat "The End"? Or...is it actually pushing mankind towards the "end"?

Sakura seemed to have gained nothing from this "past journey", but she seemed to have gained a lot.

Different experiences will lead to different ideas.

…

In a courtyard covered with ice and snow.

Wutong put away the playing cards, threw the empty yogurt bottle into the wastebasket, and then took out a small red clay stove and a copper mandarin duck hot pot.

After adding the clear soup, he threw in two different hot pot base ingredients, then took out a few plates of ingredients and placed them on the stone table, and handed a set of tableware to Ji Lin and Guan Xing each.

"When I was a kid, I loved hot pot and skewers the most, but I didn't like vegetables. At that time, I thought that the existence of vegetables was wrong. When I was a kid, I was more innocent and thought that what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong."

Wutong threw several ingredients that were not ripe and resistant to cooking into the hot pot in advance, and said with emotion: "After I became an adult, my thoughts changed. How can there be so many right and wrong, good and evil in everything in the world? The so-called right and wrong , good and evil, just stand on the side of human beings

Standpoints and perspectives are definitions given by humans. "

"What about now?" Guanxing asked casually. She helped the master mix the dipping sauce and placed it in front of Wutong.

"What's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong."

"What about the future?"

"Oh, who can predict the future?"

"Master is such a fickle and flirtatious man! No wonder I have three master wives."

"That's better than having no one. Don't say you are my apprentice in the future. I can't afford to disgrace that person."

"It's not that no one wants me as a disciple, but... my vision is too high."

"Yes, that's what people who can't find a partner love to say."

"Hate!"

Stargazer puffed up his little face, like a little pufferfish.

At this time, in the courtyard, the originally closed door was gently pushed open by someone. The person who came seemed to be very civilized and well-educated, and did not kick it open.

A "girl" with black hair and golden eyes walked in from the outside like a walk. The "girl" looked quite immature. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her temperament was as gentle as jade, with a kind of It seems that the bookish atmosphere is unique only to literati.

She did not wear a combat uniform. Instead, she wore a dark, modern cross-collar skirt. Judging from the fabric, it was also a winter dress. She wore a large cloak of the same color embroidered with gold patterns and held a roll of paper in her hand. Books, and the Xuanyuan Sword "Qingchen Liu" is hidden in his sleeve.

After turning around and closing the door, Lin Chaoyu moved his little nose and felt that his stomach was emptier, so he followed the smell of hot pot and walked over.

"Gui'an, three adults, the moonlight tonight is like water, so gentle and bright, would you mind taking Chaoyu to enjoy the moon together?"

Lin Chaoyu's voice was soft and delicate but neither humble nor overbearing. She put the book into the silver-white "bracelet" on her wrist and bowed politely, as if she had no hostility towards Wutong.

The stargazer raised her head and glanced at the moon, which seemed to be very close to them. The moon looked very big at this time, and she could see the craters and craters above with her naked eyes.

"Come and sit." Wutong waved his hand and "swept" the stone bench beside him, and took out another set of tableware.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Chaoyu was not polite, she was just here for a meal.

Guanxing withdrew his gaze and glanced at Xiao Chaoyu next to him, feeling surprised.

In fact, she thought that the first person to come here, even if it wasn't Senior Hua or Senior Xiao Yun, was probably Little Lingshuang, but she didn't expect that it was Lin Chaoyu, who had an average talent.

"How did you defeat yourself?" Guanxing smiled with interest. She picked up a large shrimp for Lin Chaoyu on the express train.

"Thank you." Lin Chaoyu took it with a bowl and asked with a little curiosity, "Conquer yourself? What do you mean when you say...conquer yourself?"

"Didn't you meet 'yourself'?" Gazing Star was a little surprised.

Lin Chaoyu shook his head blankly, then pondered for a moment, and said, "Although I don't know what you are referring to, Chaoyu feels that it is more important to 'recognize yourself' than to 'defeat yourself'."

"...Then how did you get here?"

"After helping the students correct their homework, I walked along the road that suddenly appeared." Lin Chaoyu blinked his big golden eyes.

"Didn't you encounter any enemies or 'monsters' or anything like that?"

"No, my heart is as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is from my original intention. How could I encounter something like that?"
