Chapter 293 Living Together and Dying Together
The Karmic Fire burst out from the Infinite Sword, under the control of Qin Ze, who was in the Heavenly Realm, accurately covered the body of the giant snake.
But it did not burn the body of the snake, but cleaned away the black tentacles wrapping the snake.
The squirming tentacles began to slowly fade away, like shadows being driven away by light.
The snake's pitted, wound-filled snake scales were finally exposed.
The scarlet blood has scabbed over, and scars have been etched on the snake's scales, making this huge divine creature look somewhat broken as if it has experienced the vicissitudes of time.
But she was still alive and well, and her chest was still rising and falling slightly. But her eyes had been closed, and the huge snake head had drooped.
This is the old calendar form of Nuwa.
It was the first time Qin Ze saw such a great creature.
Of course she is not as huge as Pangu in the old calendar, as if the ocean is just a large swimming pool.
But she is also shocking.
The position of the legs became the body of a snake, curled and entangled. But the upper body is somewhat similar to humans.
Human head, snake body. It's just that the body has become particularly huge, and the dense snake scales cover the whole body, even the face that should be delicate and beautiful.
This undoubtedly makes Qiao Wei in the old calendar form even more terrifying.
But even if it is covered with snake scales, even if it has a human head and a snake body, even if its body is huge...
From a distance, it still looks so beautiful.
He will definitely come to save me.
The words were still coming, but the sound was so weak.
And the sound seemed to come from far, far away.
Qin Ze understood that Wa She... was already asleep.
What I heard was something similar to the voice of my heart.
In this broken and rotten place, Qiao Wei seems to have left a path that can reach the depths of her soul.
She is waiting for someone. Qin Ze observed his surroundings.
Breaking through the black tentacles covering Qiao Wei, it didn't have much effect.
Just like washing away the sludge from a patient's body does not make the patient regain health.
Qin Ze's eyes finally fell on the sacred stake.
He found that the hands of Wa Snake holding the sacred pole seemed to have merged with the sacred pole.
It's like a whole.
Qin Ze touched Qiao Wei's snake body:
"Qiao Wei, Qiao Wei! Can you hear me? It's me!"
"Can you hear me! I'm coming to find you!"
no respond.
No matter how Qin Ze shouted, Qiao Wei could not respond to Qin Ze.
She seemed dead. If the karmic fire hadn't burned away the black tentacles on the surface, she would now be like a corpse wrapped in a cocoon of decay.
It is full of the aura of depravity, as if... it is a vessel chosen by those depraved gods.
But Qin Ze didn't believe that his girl was dead. He absolutely didn't believe it.
After being convinced that Qiao Wei could not respond, Qin Ze had ruled out the possibility of directly waking up Qiao Wei.
There was only one thing he could do now. Qin Ze's hands firmly grasped the sacred stake.
His expression became ferocious, as if he was going to use all his strength... to completely pull out the last small part of the sacred pile!
Above the sacred pile, Wa Snake's hands suddenly shook.
Countless thin tentacles pierced the snake scales on Wa Snake's wrists and reached towards Qin Ze's hands below.
Not long after——
Those tentacles reached their destination and pierced into Qin Ze's flesh and blood.
Qin Ze, who was originally gibbering because he touched the sacred stake, suddenly... his ears became clear.
The world seen with both eyes is completely different.
…
…
In the dark road, suddenly there was light,
This is a not-so-wide road. It is white and flawless, and the feeling when stepping on the road is... very soft, like stepping on soft sand.
But don't stop, because there are squirming and dense tentacles behind you.
These black tentacles are constantly chasing Qin Ze.
In other words, chasing the girl in front of Qin Ze.
It was a child of about four or five years old. She was running a little awkwardly... trying to chase something.
At this time, Qin Ze noticed that she was chasing a shadow.
It was a stooped old woman. Soon, the figure of the old woman stayed where she was.
The little girl's body passed straight through the old woman.
The same is true for Qin Ze.
He found that the little girl was looking at the old woman reluctantly, but she had to run away because of the approaching black tentacles.
The girl's footprints were left on the fine white sand.
Qin Ze looked back and saw such a scene.
The old woman died in the ward. Such a scene is not uncommon in busy hospitals.
The figure of the old woman was also engulfed by the tide formed by countless black tentacles.
Qin Ze looked back again and looked ahead——
I found that the girl had grown up a bit.
What she started chasing was no longer the old woman, but a middle-aged man and woman.
The man looked very elegant and mature, like a doctor. The woman looks very beautiful, similar to Qiao Wei when she grows up.
The little girl chased their figures and ran so fast that Qin Ze couldn't keep up.
She seemed to be afraid of being left behind.
There is always a place between men and women, that is the place of their daughters.
The little girl wants to squeeze in, wants to get back to that position...
She ran very fast, and her steps seemed a little jumpy and cheerful.
Running like this to reach the end of life is also a good choice.
The dark tide behind her couldn't catch up with her at all!
But she suddenly stopped. Because the man and woman in front of her stopped.
The little girl probably didn't expect... Life is impermanent. Some people may accompany you for a while... But they can't accompany you forever.
Their final destination may come very early.
Her figure passed through the man and woman alone.
Then she continued to walk forward, but her pace was much slower.
Qin Ze looked back and saw that in a forest hut covered with white mist, the man he had seen before, named Lao Dao, killed the man and the woman.
Then, these scenes were broken, and the dark tide swallowed everything. Qin Ze had to speed up and chase the girl who was only ten years old.
The girl became a young girl.
She seemed to have found the hope and strength to live again.
On the white and soft road, every step she took was full of effort.
But this time, Qin Ze couldn't see the person she was chasing.
The girl seemed to know what was at the end in advance, and just kept running.
Occasionally, she would stop and rest. Sometimes, when she looked back, Qin Ze would see the lonely but resolute expression on her face.
She really didn't look like a young girl in her prime.
She gradually became taller, and the childishness on her face faded away.
And next to the girl, a familiar face appeared.
Lu Qing.
She chased Lu Qing's figure, but as always, Lu Qing stopped in place after a while.
Only this time, the girl didn't stop, but kept running.
In front of her was a tall figure, who stopped in place and waved at the girl.
Then, they walked side by side.
They were all people Qin Ze was familiar with. When Qin Ze saw this tall figure, he was even a little scared.
Because this tall figure——
was the chairman.
The long road gradually came to life, and many faces Qin Ze had seen appeared on this road.
Ou Yezi, Jesus, Shiva, Amaterasu, Sima Yi...
Although he had never seen Amaterasu, he could recognize her from the way she was dressed. Omega from the board of directors also appeared among them.
All of them walked together, with great momentum.
But in the end... they stopped one by one. Disappeared one by one.
The black tide swallowed everyone.
The girl at this time was already familiar to Qin Ze——
Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei's footsteps did not stop. The number of companions was not important.
She just kept moving forward.
But there was an exception.
When the figure of the chairman also stopped and waved goodbye to Qiao Wei with regret... fear appeared on Qiao Wei's face.
She began to be afraid, afraid that the road ahead was dangerous.
She was afraid that even this person could not reach the end, and it would be difficult for her to reach the end.
But she still did not stop, and such fear was only fleeting.
There was no one in front of her, and her footsteps were no longer swift.
Those who left the scene halfway, perhaps not all of them died, and there were many people who just changed their ambitions, but in the end they were all-different.
Qin Ze followed Qiao Wei's figure closely, and the dark tide behind him was getting closer and closer.
Until this moment, he felt what Qiao Wei had been carrying all the way.
She had a firm goal, she wanted to survive, walk an extremely difficult road, and survive.
Along the way, she lost the old man who had taken care of her since she was a child, lost her parents, lost her friends, lost many companions, and lost the teacher who once thought she could guide her.
Qin Ze was sure that the chairman, or Pangu, who had not yet fallen, was definitely a teacher and friend to Qiao Wei.
But all of them left this road.
Only Qiao Wei was still walking alone.
Qin Ze felt distressed and a little confused... Why did she think that the road could still be walked to the end?
He didn't know how much time had passed, but he felt that in the process of chasing, he seemed to have experienced the lonely life of this girl.
Qin Ze suddenly found that Qiao Wei's figure... became a little smaller.
She seemed to have returned to the posture of a girl. Her steps became brisk again.
It was like life... there was a figure to chase again.
But he couldn't see the figure, and there was no one in front of him.
He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and suddenly turned around.
The tide of darkness continued, but every road passed by was filled with memories.
All the memories pointed to one person.
That was a teenager.
A teenager who was also somewhat lonely.
Compared with those fellow travelers, whether it was the Five Gods of Valhalla or Pangu, this teenager seemed too ordinary.
So much so that he could not appear on that road at all.
All the memories were also ordinary memories.
He studied alone, went shopping alone, and went to the cemetery to worship his father alone.
He went shopping alone, went to the supermarket alone, went to the movies and ate alone.
Naturally, there were some trivial matters of earning money hard, and there were also situations of being bullied.
There was also a past when he secretly shed tears alone, but he always suddenly got rid of that sadness.
It was like having a disease, a disease that would not be overly eroded by certain emotions.
The boy was so ordinary, so lonely, but also so...important.
If it wasn't important, how could it occupy such a significant space in the girl's memory.
After all the companions and companions were submerged by the black tide one by one... Only this boy seemed to have endless vitality--
Always blocking the black tide from approaching him.
Qin Ze's tears... burst out in an instant.
Because that boy was himself.
He suddenly looked back and found that the girl running in front of him had become a little girl.
That road--it turned out to have an end.
At the end was a place shrouded in white mist, a city full of wandering souls and obsessions.
The little girl finally hid in a room in this city... and closed the door.
"He will definitely come to save me."
This voice came from inside the door, no longer weak and ethereal.
It was clearly audible, full of emotion, and unwavering.
...
...
The black tide seemed unable to approach the city, but the sky was still dimming bit by bit.
They had eroded the girl's entire life, and only this last piece of pure land was the last barrier.
Qin Ze slowly came to the door, and he finally understood everything.
He grinned and forced a smile in silence.
It turned out that after the encounter in Baichuan City, Qiao Wei... never chased anyone.
Whether it was Lu Qing, the chairman, Ou Yezi, Odin, or all those old calendar people who had walked together.
They were not the people Qiao Wei chased from beginning to end.
The person Qiao Wei chased was actually very weak, because he was too weak, he couldn't even appear on that road.
Only when she looked back suddenly could she see her inner world.
There was only one person in that world, and that person occupied her entire world.
Qin Ze's body trembled, and he had never felt so sorry for his wife.
It turned out that Qiao Wei's life actually had nothing. She had been experiencing loss all her life until she met herself.
In Qiao Wei's world, more than ten years ago, Qin Ze might not have said a sentence accidentally, or when he said that sentence, he believed that he could do it.
But Qiao Wei definitely believed this sentence more, so this sentence was imprinted in her heart for more than ten years.
She never forgot it.
"I will definitely save you."
This sentence is too important to her. It was as if I had told her not to be afraid of losing, because at least I was still in your future.
So no matter how you wander, no matter how much suffering and despair you experience, how you struggle in the distortion, how ugly you are, and what kind of predicament you are summoned to... it seems that it doesn't matter.
Because in a certain future, there is a person who said that he can definitely save you. At the end of that road, there must be someone waiting for you.
The dark tide is the breath from the fallen gods, and their corrosive footsteps.
She has been growing up alone, running towards a safe place. But when it is inevitable, she finally returns to the starting point.
That is the place where she said goodbye to Qin Ze, in the city called Baichuan.
Qin Ze choked up a little. He thought that the greatest touch in his life was when he said his last goodbye to his father when the netherworld was summoned.
When the priest read those words, he didn't have time to say I do.
But now he found that it was not the case. He found that the biggest regret was that he really made this girl wait for so long.
It was that I had never discovered that besides Qin Han, there was another person...
who was silently paying attention to my every move. My extremely ordinary and trivial life could actually become the most powerful woman in the world...the source of courage to move towards the unknown.
He was really wrong. In the process of chasing Qiao Wei's figure...
Qin Ze once thought that Qiao Wei carefully planned everything in order to survive in the future and to solve the dilemma of inevitable death.
But she was not, or not entirely.
What she did was putting the cart before the horse and going in the opposite direction.
She could actually leave all of Ling Hansu's luck, and she could actually bet that she could do these things alone.
But she still chose to leave something to Qin Ze and the one she loved. Or she left the opportunity to summon the savior, the transfer mask, the diary of shaping people, the opportunity to kill the value god, and even many adventures... all to herself.
Just like the pursuit she experienced not long ago, the so-called pursuit means that every place she arrives is Qiao Wei's past.
She had a chance, but she gave it to the one she loved.
Because in her eyes, everything should be as her lover said, and when that predicament came, it was Qin Ze who came to rescue her.
Just like a child playing hide-and-seek, perhaps happiness does not lie in hiding without being discovered. But being able to hide in the same place with the one you love.
Qin Ze raised his hand.
It was only two months apart, but after all the longing fermented, it seemed as if they had experienced a long and tiring life, and it seemed like an endless cycle and reincarnation in cause and effect.
Before the sky was completely dark, Qin Ze pushed open the door.
The repetitive voice stopped abruptly, and the original perseverance and stubbornness disappeared in an instant.
There was only a weak but somewhat hoarse cry, saying in an uncertain tone:
"Qin... Qin Ze... is it you?"
"It's me, Qiao Wei. I'm here to save you."
"Really... is it really you?
The woman inside the door no longer looks like a little girl, but looks very familiar to Qin Ze.
Qin Ze has never seen such a miserable and haggard Qiao Wei.
In order to escape the invasion from the fallen god... Qiao Wei hid deep in her heart, where she felt the safest. But this process is not easy.
Even at the most desperate moment, Qiao Wei's snake body was still trying its best to pull out the sacred stake.
Qin Ze gritted his teeth and his eyes turned red. He no longer hesitated and hugged Qiao Wei tightly:
"I'll take you out of here."
Qiao Wei let Qin Ze hug her, then bit Qin Ze's shoulder, and tears began to fall.
She finally felt that she could cry loudly.
Two people whose consciousnesses are fused and clinging tightly to each other because of the divine stake are like two souls, deeply intertwined.
Outside the world of consciousness, Wa Snake, whose eyes were closed as if he were dead... suddenly opened his eyes.
The breath of life circulates again, and the endless vitality makes the originally broken snake scales start to repair themselves.
The sacred pile began to loosen visible to the naked eye.
The tired giant snake once again gained strength.
Deep in her consciousness, Qiao Wei stroked Qin Ze's face:
"Qin Ze...the process of pulling out the sacred stake is actually the process of turning it into a container of fallen gods."
"During this process, the turbidity will increase dramatically, which will have a huge impact on the real world."
"If you fail to pull out the divine stake, the price will not only be the failure to be promoted to the master of the old calendar... it may also lead to the birth of a fallen god in the true sense of the word who can have a physical form."
"And even if the sacred stake is pulled out, it will not disappear until I completely absorb the power. If there is an outsider, it is still possible to put the sacred stake back again."
Qiao Wei and Qin Ze didn't say many words to express their longing after their reunion.
This couple actually knew the danger that was coming.
"I think... Pangu will probably sense this and come to attack me. In fact, time is very tight."
"Pangu is no longer the original Pangu. He is now a terrible enemy to us."
"Qin Ze, do you know what this means?"
Qin Ze nodded and scratched Qiao Wei's nose:
"Qiao Wei, I don't want to be separated from you anymore. From now on, we will never leave. Even if we are rejected by the world, we will live in the same quilt and die in the same hole."
After saying this, Qin Ze suddenly smiled.
He once questioned how there were so many people in this world who thought they could love someone at all costs and stand on the opposite side of the world for the person they loved.
But at this moment, he discovered that making such a choice was not that difficult.
Perhaps it was because he believed that the path Qiao Wei chose was the real path that could bring hope to mankind.
Maybe everything is not important. What is important is that he needs to respond to the person who only sees himself.
Qiao Wei looked at Qin Ze, her eyes became firm again, and her tone was a bit domineering:
"Okay, we will live in the same quilt and die in the same cave. Whoever wants to stop us, we will kill them!"

Whenever the name Zhen Jiecheng is mentioned, the boys at Beijing Film Academy always gnash their teeth in hatred.
But I have to sigh,
"Oh, another day of envy for Jiecheng."
