Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 1051 - 549: Dream Visitor, Dream Outsider

Ji Jue, as if struck by lightning.

"Hey, have you finally understood?"

The Lord of Huangliang laughed: "One part good, tenfold evil, ten thousandfold consequence... Behind every construction and achievement, just how much ruin and aftermath lie?

Under such irreversibility, it's like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, futilely drinking poison to quench thirst, splitting the world into two, and endlessly delaying the arrival of Hell."

"..."

In the silence, Ji Jue was speechless, drenched in sweat; several times he wanted to speak, but no sound came out. At last, he asked hoarsely, "Is this the lock?"

"Lock? Oh, I see, separating Superior and Great Evil, severing their influence and backlash, calling it a lock is indeed appropriate."

Hua Xujun nodded calmly, "However, haven't you experienced it firsthand? When you used the Border Prison to seal the Paradise, the spontaneous change that occurred was able to separate Wen Sheng and the Holy God, imprisoning divinity in Heaven.

Hey, that isolation so stable, is it due to your expertise reaching its peak, or the inherent shape and function of Superior and Great Evil?"

Utilizing the repulsion between Superior and Great Evil to divide the world and isolate evil's consequences. At the same time, leveraging their common origin to enhance the system's overall stability.

Thus achieving unlimited enhancement of the world's stability, but what about the consequences, the price?

"It's as if you're personally creating your own demise."

Hua Xujun asked one last question: "If one day, your lock can no longer suppress the Great Evil beneath the Vortex... Then, what will your world become?"

Ji Jue was speechless, unable to answer.

"Then, young one."

Hua Xujun leisurely licked the soft pads of its paws and asked indifferently, "Now, let me ask you once again—the Door of Paradise is still right in front of you, turning back is the shore.

Do you plan to change your mind?"

Ji Jue remained silent.

Gazing at the door so close by, after a long while, he sighed lightly and slowly shook his head.

"The people of the whole world have thought of countless methods, yet none could escape, what can one more person like you do?"

Hua Xujun sneered, "In the end, you will probably end up like that little girl Mercury, betting everything but losing it all. A grand Saint, yet falling into the Hell created by oneself, unable to extricate, unable to be freed.

At that time, if you regret, will it be too late?"

"... If it comes to regret, there's probably no way out?"

Ji Jue thought about it, regretfully shrugged, "It'd be nothing but reaping what one sows, so what's there to lament?

Compared to standing idly by, even if I fall into Hell in the end, at least it's the Hell I chose myself, right?"

"Hey..."

Hua Xujun was amused, "This demeanor, rather than being compassionate, one might as well say it's arrogance and pride? Such big talk, it's exactly like those few predecessors before.

Even now, you still claim not to be Moisture?"

"Whether I am Moisture, let's talk about it when I truly have control over everything."

Ji Jue stood before the great door, turned around for the last time, "But, Hua Xujun, since you're asking me, do you mind if I ask one last question?"

The black cat flicked its tail, "Considering my rare good mood, feel free to ask."

"Everyone says, the desire of Heart Core never knows satisfaction... Even in your era, before Superior emerged, but I think the principle should be universal, right?"

Ji Jue asked earnestly, "The Ever-Changing Paradise contains everything, within the dream of Huangliang, all is rich, but until today, do you still have desires remaining in the world?"

"Of course."

Hua Xujun answered without hesitation, "Even the Ever-Changing Paradise cannot satisfy the thirst. Even I have unfulfilled desires, so what's so surprising about that?"

Admiring Ji Jue's puzzled expression, the black cat's mouth curved slightly.

"I want to know, if at the end of desire there's still desire, if at the end of yearning there's still yearning.

I want to know, what will ultimately exist in this endless dream... no matter how much I see, no matter how much I witness, it's never enough. I want to see what your desires and yearnings will eventually become?

When reality is full of scars, when everything sought turns into ruins, I want to see how many people can still hold onto their desires in their hearts?

And then, would the beautiful dreams in your heart still remain?"

Those amber eyes reflected the dazzling light of all dreams and desires, gazing toward the departing guest, full of expectation:

"You, who prides in abandoning beautiful dreams, after recognizing reality and yourself, will you still hold onto fantasies for the future?"

"I'd very much like to know too."

Ji Jue smiled openly, "If there's a result by then, kindly let me know."

Before leaving, he bent down to salute the generous King of Chaos, expressing his final gratitude.

He pushed open the last door, stepped into it without hesitation.

Saying goodbye to Illusion Dream, returning to the present world.

Never seen again.

Only in Illusion Dream, in the blink of an eye, the world changes dramatically.

The black cat stood silently in the infinite fantasy, in the end, turning back toward the direction where Ji Jue departed.

"Heh, talking about abandoning beautiful dreams..."

Hua Xujun shook his head, understanding with a sigh, "Isn't this just completely immersing in one's own dream, unwilling to wake up?"

No response.

It slowly braced up and moved toward the deepest part of the Illusion Dream.

The tail slightly swayed.

Thus, in the world beyond Illusion Dream, countless splendid phenomena gradually dissipated.

Countless souls were drawn into the gradually closing door, and as the door closed once more, the Ever-Changing Paradise collapsed again, evaporated, disappeared without a trace.

Just like this, returning to void.

The last traces remaining in the world were only that one ray of dreamlike elusive light at the unreachable horizon, between the sea, the earth, and the sky.

In absolute void, the dream of Huangliang stood at the end of all beautiful dreams and nightmares, witnessing all.

Waiting for everyone chasing illusions to arrive.

.

Above the sky, Wen Zheng quietly looked down.

A soft sigh.
