Chapter 1182 Ancient ruins, Nirvana
Little Lu Chen just took care of his mother who was lying in bed day after day and would never talk to him again.
But everything went wrong. Because he got into trouble, he could only take his mother on the road to escape.
After suffering a lot along the way, he finally met an instructor named Lin Jiang, who took him into the Secret Blood Warrior Barracks.
He trained hard and stepped onto the battlefield at the age of nine, fighting in blood and fire.
What Lu Chen didn't know was that when he fell into the illusion and entered the inner demon, his body in the outside world was constantly deteriorating, as if it was degrading, changing from an old state to a weathered state.
Little Lu Chen worked hard all the way and finally grew into a young martial god. He fought on the battlefield and was almost invincible.
But the Shenwu Empire was still defeated, and there was no suspense about its defeat.
He embarked on the road to the Western Federation alone. He was imprisoned for two years and then escaped, with no idea of the way forward.
When he was in the middle of the desert, looking up at the sky, he seemed to understand that this was the end of his life.
The young man Lu Chen lamented that he had too many regrets in his life. He was powerless when his relatives died, he was powerless when his comrades fell, and even the force he was proud of in the end was helpless in the face of technology.
When the light fell, everything ended, falling into darkness, and even thoughts stopped.
How can there be any future peerless Martial God and invincible Martial Emperor? They are just the illusions seen by a young man before his death...
Everything is over, there are no accidents, Lu Chen, born on Earth, Shenwu Empire, under the age of eighteen, suddenly.
After an unknown amount of time, little Lu Chen woke up again. This time he was in the mountains, being held by his father while fishing by the pond.
His childhood was very happy, at least before he could remember anything.
Later, his father died of old age, and his mother took him to live in a small village, and fell asleep within two years.
Little Lu Chen was lonely, relying on the help from his neighbors to survive one day at a time and the next day.
After he sold everything in his home, he finally couldn't afford to eat.
He got into trouble in the village and took his mother on the road to escape.
After entering the military camp again, for some reason, he hinted in his heart that he must work harder and be strong enough to turn everything around.
Huh?
Little Lu Chen looked at the sink while washing his face, a little confused, why do I think so?
He couldn't figure it out, but he trained harder the next time until he entered the battlefield.
But no matter how powerful he was and how invincible he was on the battlefield, his comrades still fell one by one.
The Shenwu Empire was still defeated, and his mother never woke up again. He finally went to the Western Federation and became a prisoner.
This time, he stood in the desert and waited quietly for the attack of the most high-tech weapon, feeling lost.
The beam lowered and silence fell again.
In the darkness, Lu Chen woke up again, seemingly in an endless reincarnation, without even realizing it.
After countless reincarnations, no matter how hard Lu Chen tried, he was strong enough to sink a warship, but he could not change the ending. His relatives and friends all left him, and he eventually died in the desert of the Western Federation.
One time, he stood in the desert and looked up at the sky, "I don't believe it, I won't end up like this!"
As if the void was torn apart, he was reborn from the darkness, walked out of this false world, and came to the real side.
He entered a strange space, where he adventured and fought, made new friends, married the ones he loved, and enjoyed grudges with his friends.
But they had no idea how many worlds they had experienced and how many mysterious places they had ventured to, and they finally came to an end on a grand battlefield.
The people he loved, his best brothers and friends, the bad friends who would laugh and play with him, the funny little loli who followed him, and the strong men he met during the journey all died.
He was extremely strong, but he was unable to save himself because his enemies were too strong. In the end, he could only return to his hometown, bury his lover and friends, and sigh for a long time while looking at the grave.
Finally, he died in battle on the grand battlefield.
Lu Chen woke up again in the darkness, still innocent and lying in his mother's arms.
He goes on the road, he fights, and he watches his relatives and friends die without help. He does better every time, but he can never reverse the outcome of anyone.
For him, every time is his first time as a human being, but subconsciously he always wants to do better.
On the desolate land, Lu Chen sat cross-legged on a boulder, looking into the distance at the existence he thought would be an unparalleled enemy in this life.
It was a creature wearing black blood-clothed clothes. For some reason, I couldn't see its true face.
"How long are you going to keep doing this?"
Lu Chen was silent, "What are you talking about?"
"You are reincarnated in an illusion, don't you know it?"
The blood-clothed creature said calmly, "No, you have known about it for a long time, but you don't want to wake up."
"I am who I am. I have been fighting for a long time in this life. How can I talk about illusions?"
Lu Chen said coldly.
"You have died a long time ago. You died under the Western Federation's space-based kinetic energy weapons. Everything was just a fantasy before your death. There is no such thing as a Martial Emperor who is so powerful that all the worlds fear him."
The blood-clothed creature stood in front of Lu Chen, as if narrating a fact indifferently.
"How dare you break my Taoist heart!"
Lu Chen said angrily, holding Regicide in hand, he was going to fight with the opponent.
"Why, don't you dare to hear what I have to say?"
The blood-clothed creature sneered.
Lu Chen looked angry, but did not continue to take action.
"You have been looking for a way to break through that realm, because only by reaching that realm can you turn everything around. However, you have been extremely talented since childhood. Most of the time, you have been going smoothly along the way, but you have struggled after becoming the emperor. It’s even more difficult to take this step, don’t you want to know why?”
The blood-clothed creature spoke.
Lu Chen remained silent, and the blood-clothed creature continued.
"Because you don't want to break through that realm at all! You need someone to stop you, and you need a stronger opponent to destroy you! In short, you will never be allowed to break through to that realm. Everything you know around you is all your fantasy. from."
"Because, you know, you can't break through that realm at all. This is just a world in your imagination. You have never reached that realm. Let alone that realm, even your realm at this time is just a fantasy, so you Subconsciously I know there is no way I can succeed.”
"Because, you know better, even if you break through and can turn things around, you are already dead, and you can't go back to save anyone!"
"So, you can't break through, absolutely can't break through, so you fine-tune the world at all costs to make the enemy's strength rise rapidly and become stronger and stronger, so that they can stop you and kill you."
The blood-clothed creatures spoke faster and faster, and their expressions became more and more ferocious.
"While you are pretending to be active and trying your best to break through the realm, you are using various means to prevent yourself from breaking through!"
His voice seemed to have the breath of blood, "You only want to suffer reincarnation here, sinking endlessly, year after year, deceiving yourself over and over again: I am still working hard, still fighting for hope. interest!"
"When I understand your desperate heart, I can no longer laugh. I can only be shocked and moved by you."
"I don't know what kind of mood you had at that moment, entering the eternal illusion at that moment, giving birth to a true spirit in the mortal realm, building such a grand world view in the revolving lantern, and creating such a wonderful adventure for yourself, but It’s extremely sad to see how serious you are pretending to be.”
"Just to see your parents again and experience the warmth of childhood? Just to fight side by side with your comrades and feel the blood of the past? Just to fulfill your parents' long-cherished wish and think of a false wife? Just to lose to the obsession with technology, What kind of so-called space can you imagine and embark on an adventure in the heavens?”
The voice of the blood-clothed creature was a little mocking at first, "Although you were born in the Shenwu Empire, you should have heard of the Greek myth, Sisyphus, the son of the wind god. I thought it was just a myth, but I didn't expect it to actually happen before my eyes. ”
"Sisyphus, like you, is also a person who deserves to die. When he felt that his death was coming, he tried every means to deceive the God of Death. He refused to die even though he deserved it, and was ultimately punished by the gods for eternity. In his reincarnation, he had to push the boulder up a steep mountain every day. However, every time he used all his strength and the boulder was about to reach the top, the boulder would slip out of his hands, and he had to push it back again, doing endless labor... …”
"Lu Chen, you are struggling to support your obsession. Do you know how many reincarnations have passed? Do you know how many vicissitudes you have experienced!?"
"But you are still persisting, persisting desperately, cruel, sad, and desolate. I don't even have the heart to tell you all this, but if you persist like this..."
The blood-clothed creature was very excited, as if there were tears left behind: "...When will there be a head!"
Lu Chen's eyes also shone with tears and he let out a long sigh.
The blood-clothed creature's eyes were wet and his voice was low, "If you really return to the world and look at your dead parents and comrades, look at the vicissitudes of blood in your hometown, and see yourself being labeled a traitor by the Shenwu Empire, all your resentment will skyrocket. When it rises and breaks out, it is the true coming of the devil!"
His expression was ferocious, as if there was blood between his teeth, "Even the gods who control fate will be involved in this bloody revenge!"
With red eyes, he spoke every word with bitter hatred as if from hell, and said ferociously: "Lu Chen, I just want to ask you one thing! Do you want to go back!?"
After a long silence, Lu Chen finally said, "Who are you?"
The blood-clothed creature's expression froze, as if he didn't expect that Lu Chen would ask such a thing at this time.
Lu Chen held Regicide in his hand and looked at the starry sky, "No need to say more, I seem to understand already."
He sighed leisurely. After this intense stimulation, he realized many things in his heart.
He didn't know why the blood-clothed creature came to say this to him. He was obviously a powerful enemy in his heart, but what he said made sense.
He thought about it carefully, but found that he had no idea what realm he was in, but he was delusional about reaching the highest realm.
Something was wrong, everything was wrong.
And the blood-clothed creature may not have any good intentions to wake him up, and many of what he said are untrustworthy.
For example, Lu Chen was confident that he was illiterate. He didn't know anything about Greek mythology when he was young. He only learned about Greek mythology after entering space.
If the blood-clothed creatures were also imaginary, how could they possibly know Greek mythology?
So one thing he firmly believed was that space really existed, and he definitely did not die under the Western Federation's space-based kinetic energy weapon.
Shuzi, do you want to break my Taoist heart?
Even if Chu Zihang is not here, I am not that easy to fool.
"I want to go back, but it's not to enter the next level of illusion. I'm just imagining it. You can leave now."
Lu Chen said calmly, after saying that, the scene around him began to collapse, the stars were disappearing, and the universe was returning to its origin.
He opened his eyes again and found that he was standing in the origin space. He snorted coldly and the illusion continued to be shattered.
Now that he has awakened, his eyes will no longer be obscured. Nothing can prevent him from leaving this illusion. His real memories are constantly rising, and his true spirit is lighting up again.
The layers of illusion were shattered. After an unknown amount of time, deep in the cave, the finger of the mummy moved.
Above Lu Chen's body, a stone talisman hung, and the dense mist was pushed back by the gradually fluctuating soul.
Lu Chen, who was so old that it was difficult to get up, lay there, opened his eyes, saw the stone talisman above, and everything became clear.
This is the imperial weapon of Emperor Luan Gu, and it is the inheritance relic left by him. The imperial pattern here is special, and coupled with the suppression of Emperor Luan Gu’s imperial army, it can arouse people’s inner demons. What a coincidence, Lu Chen also learned the previous character The secret, even though it has not yet been fully understood, also resonates.
The emperor's soldiers were not leading the illusion, but guiding his inner demons and obsessions, which led to the previous scenes.
The imperial soldier himself cannot see what he is going through, otherwise he would have been awakened long ago if the aura of the imperial soldier directly came into contact with his true spirit.
From beginning to end, the biggest enemy was only himself.
Lu Chen sighed, "I still miss you after all..."
Although he had thought about it and his friends told him that he was no longer obsessed with it, he still wanted a perfect ending.
In the God Burial Calendar, he failed when he returned to his hometown and felt even more sad. He was unwilling to give in and saw a glimpse of the terrifying future, which was eventually imprinted deep in his heart.
He failed many times in the illusion, but he remained unyielding, but the wrong road, the false road, has no end.
"You've woken up. There are many people who can get out of the inner demon world, but the stronger the person, the harder it is to get out. People like you shouldn't be able to get out."
The emperor's soldiers of Emperor Luan Gu seemed to be feeling a little emotional when they spoke.
"Why did you attack me?"
Lu Chen frowned and said, if he hadn't been in such a bad state at the time, this level of inner demon fantasy would have been impossible to invade, and the Luangu Emperor's imperial soldiers could have stopped it all.
"Nothing, I just want to see what happens to those who have defeated the Great Emperor Daohen many times, and whether they really have the heart to temper themselves."
Luangu Imperial Soldier said, "After all, even among inner demons, you will always fail."
Lu Chen was a little silent. Not to mention his current state, he couldn't mess with the ancient emperor's soldiers, and he also felt that the other party had something to say.
"The Great Emperor said that failure is not terrible. What is terrible is not being able to get over failure. If you put it down, you may not be able to pick it up. If you have failed, you may not fail in the future."
Luan Gu Emperor Soldier leisurely said, "I don't know what your obsession is and how you made your final decision, but now that you've woken up, you must have put it down. As for when you will pick it up again, it's not my concern. ”
It drifted away, "You are about to die of old age, but it seems that there is still a future. No one will disturb you here, and the ancient supreme being will not be found. You can retreat in peace."
Lu Chen wanted to stand up and salute, but he couldn't move at all, so he could only say in his mind: "Thank you very much."
lay down? From the moment I defied heaven and slashed the path, I didn’t need to let go of anything.
Who said that if you carry forward with a heavy load, you will never reach the end?
I want to be the one who goes against heaven!
