Chapter 634 - 536: The World of Helplessness, Helpless in the World
Zuo Xiaoluo didn’t like the current situation, yet there was nothing she could do.
She had tried several times to use her sword skill to split the sea, each time failing just like a stone sinking into the ocean.
She wanted to leave this place, but no matter what, she couldn’t remember the way out!
"This is truly bizarre!"
Zuo Xiaoluo pounded her uncooperative head, flying in search of an exit.
Suddenly, a familiar force snapped Zuo Xiaoluo back to her senses, and the scene before her left her stunned.
Over twenty thousand soldiers stood motionless in midair, like clay statues.
They stood in neat rows, weapons clutched to their chests, eyes closed.
"Wake up! Open your eyes!"
"Who are you? Where is this place?"
The soldier who opened his eyes asked Zuo Xiaoluo with a look of confusion.
"I am your Patriarch! Don’t you recognize me?"
"I don’t know you!"
The soldier yawned, closed his eyes again.
Zuo Xiaoluo was absolutely convinced that the soldier had truly forgotten, rather than playing a joke on her.
He wouldn’t dare!
"Alas! Alas! What can I do about it!"
An elderly voice came from the front of the ranks, and in a mere blink, Zuo Xiaoluo had already arrived at the front.
Wearing gray clothes, with a hunched body, her face covered with wrinkles, leaning on a cane, her clothes looking pitifully ragged.
"Old woman, is this your doing? Are you the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao Will?"
"Young girl, why the need for this? No matter how powerful or proud you are today, eventually you will forget, you will become the past sooner or later!"
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Zuo Xiaoluo, already full of anger, acted without hesitation, using her sword skill to try splitting the old woman!
She knew that only by devouring this embodiment of the Heavenly Dao Will could she leave, and the soldiers could be saved!
"Boom!"
The old woman didn’t dodge, she lightly waved her arm, and seawater surged to block the attack!
"This is impossible!"
Zuo Xiaoluo was filled with astonishment!
She couldn’t believe that the woman before her could withstand her attack!
"Young girl, you’ve lost focus!"
Unbeknownst to her, the old woman had moved in front of Zuo Xiaoluo, and the cane struck toward Zuo Xiaoluo’s chest!
Clang!
The two weapons collided, each stepping back more than ten steps!
While being cautious of the other, Zuo Xiaoluo suddenly noticed a small island in the distance with towering structures on it.
That must be where this world’s Heavenly Dao Will is located!
Defeat him!
Zuo Xiaoluo concentrated her power into her weapon, preparing to break through the old woman’s defenses in one go.
This time, Zuo Xiaoluo was wrong again!
The old woman had no intention of stopping her; on the contrary, she quickly retreated to give way, allowing Zuo Xiaoluo to charge past smoothly.
Zuo Xiaoluo saw that the old woman actually revealed a smile!
Old hag!
What kind of plot are you scheming now!
Though Zuo Xiaoluo cursed in her heart, she didn’t make any stops and accelerated forward!
After half an hour!
The small island that seemed so close was still out of reach!
Damn you!
Zuo Xiaoluo flung her sword toward the island, but the sword had only flown three meters before it started to fall.
Zuo Xiaoluo could only grab her sword, helplessly looking around.
"I told you before, alas, alas! What can you do, but you wouldn’t listen!"
The old woman appeared again, but Zuo Xiaoluo did not strike; she had calmed down and was looking at her.
"Who are you really? You seem to have no ill intent toward me?"
As Zuo Xiaoluo finished, she found it hard to believe she would say such words.
"During these days, you’ve devoured many worlds and your strength has grown, but your Underworld is not complete, and has even become unstable, is it not?"
Zuo Xiaoluo nodded in agreement but retorted unwillingly, "That’s because I’m not strong enough yet! Otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this!"
The old woman shook her head.
"What is the most important ability of the Underworld?"
"Of course, it’s Reincarnation!"
"No, it’s forgetfulness! Only through forgetting can there be a new beginning, only through forgetting can the wickedness disappear and the world stabilize."
Zuo Xiaoluo understood!
"I get it! This is the Naihe World! And the power of this time is forgetfulness! It governs the Naihe Bridge!"
The old woman smiled.
"You’re right, that’s correct! On that small island is my true form, once you reach it, you can gain the power of the Naihe World and your Underworld will stabilize!"
"I know there is a condition, right?"
"Yes, there is a condition, it’s not life and death, but forgetfulness!"
As the old woman spoke, she gently waved her arm, causing the seawater to swirl upwards, and a broken bowl appeared before Zhao Yi.
"This is Rebirth Soup, drink it and you will forget everything, and you can obtain the Naihe Bridge!"
Since following Zhao Yi, Zuo Xiaoluo had long disregarded life and death.
She thought she was fearless, but today she realized she was afraid of forgetting!
She didn’t want to forget Zhao Yi, didn’t want to forget the soldiers, didn’t want to forget everything.
Zuo Xiaoluo hesitated!
"Drink it! Drink it and everything will disappear!"
"What if I don’t drink?"
Zuo Xiaoluo asked coldly.
"If you hadn’t entered the Naihe World, you could choose not to drink, but now that you don’t drink, you and your soldiers will be trapped here forever!"
Zuo Xiaoluo hesitated!
If it were just her, she’d risk it all, but there were also twenty thousand soldiers!
Drink!
With the Rebirth Soup in her stomach, Zuo Xiaoluo felt her mind begin to ache!
Good! Very good!
The old woman showed a greedy look in her eyes, carefully observing Zuo Xiaoluo.
She knew that Zuo Xiaoluo was formidable and had to be cautious!
Bang!
The sea roared, and three water ropes bound Zuo Xiaoluo, the sea splitting open to form an earthy path.
The old woman controlled Zuo Xiaoluo to step onto the Path to the Underworld,
"Walk, walk!"
The old woman chanted words of despair, but her expression grew increasingly excited.
She approached the small island and arrived before the grand hall.
The tall vermillion doors were pushed open by the old woman.
The old woman dragged Zuo Xiaoluo before a set of white bones.
"Finally, I can be reborn anew! Hahahaha!"
The laughter was sinister yet abruptly ceased!
The just unconscious Zuo Xiaoluo suddenly launched an attack, grasping the bones, and the Reincarnation Law swiftly invaded.
"This is absolutely impossible!"
With the old woman’s final cry of despair, she disappeared without a trace.
Zuo Xiaoluo entered the Spiritual World, and the old woman appeared there too, but this time she was trapped by golden light, unable to escape, her eyes filled with bitterness, her face full of anger.
"You old thing, you didn’t expect Rebirth Soup to be ineffective on me, did you?"
"That’s impossible, whether it’s you or someone stronger, it’s impossible!"
The old woman was almost shouting as she spoke!
"You seem to have forgotten that I am the owner of the Underworld, governing the life and death cycle of everything! I can let your Soup live, and I can let it die! How can it be effective if it is dead!"
The old woman was dumbfounded!
She had never considered that the Rebirth Soup could have life and death; she thought she could use this plan to silently subdue Zuo Xiaoluo, but her cunning backfired!
"Farewell, you old thing!"
A flash of the blade, earth-shattering! The blue light source vanished!
