Chapter 271: Little hope? I, Ni Kun, will never give up!
Step, step, step...
With slightly heavy footsteps, Ni Kun walked out of the dark doorway step by step, looking a little dazed.
Xuanzang looked at him nervously and worriedly, and asked:
"Mr. Ni, are you okay?"
Ni Kun did not answer, but just put his hands behind his back and tilted his head slightly, looking like he was observing the patterns on the ceiling. In fact, his eyes were unfocused and he looked like he was daydreaming.
Xuanzang said worriedly:
"Mr. Ni, you..."
Ni Kun came back to his senses, his expression returned to normal, and he smiled and waved his hand:
"It's okay. I'm fine. Master Xuanzang, don't worry."
Xuanzang said:
"Would you like to ask Athena to erase that memory for you, or seal it up and open it when the time is right?"
Ni Kun laughed:
"That's not necessary. Don't worry, Master Xuanzang. It's just a video. The special effects are a bit grand, but it's essentially very fake. How can it be scary?
"For special effects like this, I can create several clips in a matter of minutes, and each one will be more exciting than the last...
"By the way, Master, do you want to see a more spectacular special effect? I can use mystical magic to let you enjoy it in your dream!"
“…”
Xuanzang looked at Ni Kun in silence, feeling that the shock he had suffered was too great and that he was a little dazed and incoherent.
"Master, don't look at me like that. I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me." Ni Kun smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, I drank too much just now and I'm sweating all over. I want to take a bath. Where is this bathhouse?"
"Well, it would be nice to take a bath and relax..."
Xuanzang smiled helplessly, closed the door first, and waited until the layers of seals and restrictions took effect before he took Ni Kun to a suite.
"Mr. Ni, this is your room. It has all the necessary facilities. Whether you want to entertain guests, watch movies, play games, or even practice fitness, there is a corresponding room. If you want to take a bath, there is a natural hot spring in the bathroom..."
Well, this "suite" is a whole half-plane.
When you enter the door, you will see a huge screen wall with carved dragons and painted phoenixes. After passing the screen wall, you will see a palace. The main hall can be used to meet guests, hold banquets, or any other group activities you like.
Behind the main hall, there are many doors, and behind each door is a functional room with a different environment.
For example, when the bathroom door is opened, there is a small valley with an elegant environment, surrounded by green bamboo, and filled with birdsong and flowers. In the valley, there are several natural hot springs distributed in steps, and the water temperature in each hot spring pool is different.
Behind one of the doors was a huge training ground, where Athena could be summoned to adjust the training ground environment at will, and fully realistic sparring partners could be projected.
Even if Ni Kun wanted to call on guardians or even demons to serve as sparring partners, they could be projected into the training ground.
Of course, the projected guardian or extraterritorial demon cannot be as powerful as the original one.
And only the extraterritorial demons that the guardians and the guardian temple have come into contact with can be projected. It is impossible to project an extraterritorial demon that has never been encountered.
Xuanzang introduced these functional rooms one by one, and told him that if he had any needs or wanted to find someone, he could directly summon Athena. Athena would meet all his reasonable requests or notify the person he wanted to find.
After the introduction, Xuanzang said goodbye and left.
Ni Kun wandered around the various functional rooms alone for a while, came to the "bathroom", walked into the small valley surrounded by birdsong, flowers and green bamboo, took off his clothes, and soaked in a hot spring pool.
He leaned his back against the pool wall, half of his body immersed in the water, and tilted his head back. A bunch of vines quietly spread over, forming a soft groove, supporting the back of his head.
He stretched out his arms, and vines spread out to the left and right, forming two frames of just the right height for him to rest his arms on.
Ni Kun looked up at the "bathroom" sky.
The sky is a starry night sky, which looks beautiful. Coupled with the quiet and elegant environment of this natural hot spring, it is indeed an ultimate enjoyment.
But Ni Kun couldn't feel at ease at all.
The hardships he has endured are unmatched by anyone in the entire samsara universe. His will is naturally strong and unshakable.
However, the huge gap in strength still made him feel powerless inevitably.
Too strong.
That "unspeakable" enemy is really too powerful .
The power of Tathagata is already astonishing. The extraterritorial demons at the level of the Blood Evil Saint are like ants in the palm of Tathagata. He can grab a handful of them and they have no power to resist at all.
But in front of the huge hand that was surrounded by stars, Tathagata was also grasped by the opponent and had no power to fight back.
And Ni Kun...
Now, if he fights alone, he can't even beat the extraterritorial demon of the level of the Blood Evil Saint Son, and can only barely hold out for a while. Being able to escape with injuries is already a victory.
"My growth rate is already astonishingly fast. But even if there is no bottleneck, and my cultivation can always be steadily improved, or even advance by leaps and bounds, how many more years of cultivation will it take to grow to the level of Tathagata?
"Even if you successfully grow to the level of Tathagata, you are still no match for that Starlight Hand...
"No wonder Xuanzang advised me not to watch it. No wonder the guardians asked Athena to erase their memories after watching it... Enemies of that level really make it impossible to see any hope of fighting..."
Honestly speaking, Ni Kun thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure out where the turning point would be.
Not only could he not see a chance of a comeback from the guardians, he himself also could not see a chance of a comeback.
The reason is simple:
He grew up in this reincarnation universe.
And that unspeakable enemy almost blew up the entire reincarnation universe by himself.
Then, even if Ni Kun's strength grows to the pinnacle of the entire reincarnation universe, or even reaches the level of the "main god" who created and evolved the entire reincarnation universe...
Aren’t we still unable to defeat that unspeakable enemy?
It's useless to resurrect by paying for the life cheat. The other party can hold the galaxy in one hand. Once you are caught, no matter how you die or live, you are always in the palm of the other party, and no matter how much life span you have, it can be easily worn out.
Maybe it can even directly break the krypton life cheat, making Ni Kun die forever, and never be resurrected.
After all, the boldest guess about the "氪生命挂" is that it is itself a part of the "main god", so it can awaken all kinds of magical powers in the worlds of the reincarnation universe at will, so it can borrow abilities from the guardians, and so it can affect the time of the entire reincarnation universe.
But what if it is part of the legacy left by the Lord God?
So what if the authority is high?
The main god has lost contact, and it is very likely that he was beaten to death by that big guy. With a component of the main god, can I still surpass the main god?
"I've been thinking about it, but I still can't figure out where the turning point is..."
Ni Kun felt his body and mind were extremely heavy, and he couldn't help but sink into the pool:
"A slow death?
"I, Ni Kun, have experienced tens of thousands of deaths and endured countless pains. In a very short period of time, I have cultivated to this level today, and I have also broken through the bottleneck, making the future path of cultivation smooth...
"But in the end, will it only end up with 'slow death'?"
Some secrets are better left unseen.
Even with Ni Kun's temperament, at this moment, he couldn't help feeling melancholy, powerless all over, and even his mind was covered with dust.
The little angel, who had not moved for a long time, suddenly jumped out , and whispered with holy light all over his body:
"Everyone will die. Since ancient times, among kings, generals, talented men and beautiful women, who can live forever?
“Cicadas chirp all summer long, and shooting stars flash in a flash. Even if the end of the road is the horizon, and the end of life is cremation, we should also strive to make the most resounding singing in the short life of summer cicadas, and bloom into the most brilliant glory in the flash of time like shooting stars.
"This way, even if I die, I will have no regrets."
Ni Kun was exhausted:
"Ah, this chicken soup is poisonous. Before a cicada makes a lot of noise for a whole summer, it has been dormant underground for many years. For example, there are seventeen-year cicadas? Before a meteor falls into the atmosphere, it is unknown how long it has been traveling in the universe. Besides, it may not necessarily turn into ashes. It may have a chance to successfully land and become a meteorite and continue to exist..."
"Uh..." The little angel was speechless and said in a negotiating tone:
"Then why not enjoy life while you can?"
The little devil jumped out wielding a steel fork:
"That's right. If I must die, I must have a good time! Maybe I'll get some inspiration while I'm having fun."
Ni Kun praised: "This is a very good idea!"
Without saying a word, he released Xiaoqing and Diao Chan from the mustard seed ring half plane. With a wave of his hand, the five-colored divine light brushed off their clothes. He gave them another look, and Xiaoqing and Diao Chan instantly understood the meaning, smiled sweetly, and dived into the water.
Soon, strands of black hair began to float on the water in front of Ni Kun, creating ripples.
Ni Kun squinted his eyes in satisfaction, took a long breath, and murmured to himself:
"Sure enough, when , you still have to find some fun and have some fun. I feel much better instantly..."
Doesn’t it feel much better?
Not only did my depressed mood improve a lot, but my heavy and weak body also felt much lighter. My dusty mind was shining again. As countless thoughts collided, flashes of inspiration appeared and I realized many truths unconsciously.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not like there's no way out...
"The Samsara Universe was destroyed, the Tathagata Buddha was killed instantly, the Patriarch Tongtian was also refined into the Tower of Babel, and the other high-energy worlds and the high-energy bosses were almost all destroyed...
"But what is the real purpose of that unspeakable boss who swept across the reincarnation universe?
"Is it just to capture a trial universe so that the Blood Demon Saint and others can come in for the trial?
“No way!
“I don’t believe that big guy has such a kind heart to help others.
“This reincarnation universe may seem to have been destroyed, but in fact, there are still many reincarnation worlds, and even world barriers and guardian temples… He allowed the Blood Evil Saint and others to come in for the ‘trial’, which must not be for the sake of helping others, but must have a special purpose…
"Suppose that his real goal against the Samsara Universe has not yet been achieved, and he has not obtained the results he wanted...
"Then why did a powerful person who could single-handedly sweep across all high-energy worlds and even cause the main god to lose contact fail to achieve his ultimate goal and leave behind so many 'remnants'?
“It’s entirely possible to boldly assume… It’s not that He doesn’t want to, but that He can’t!
"No matter what the reason for this 'cannot' is - was he seriously injured in the war and is in deep sleep to recover? The 'core' of the reincarnation universe cannot be forcibly breached by external forces, otherwise it will trigger the 'self-destruction' system? Did he perish together with the Lord God? Was he possessed by the Lord God? Was he found by other enemies? Did his wife give birth to a child?
“Anyway, no matter what the reason is, we can boldly assume that He did not destroy the entire Samsara Universe in one go because He ‘could not’ do so, and He did not want to leave part of the Samsara Universe as a ‘trial ground’ for others.
"Because he 'can't', he had no choice but to let the Blood Demon Saint Son and others come in for trials, and continue to devour the remaining reincarnation worlds...
"It feels like peeling an onion, nibbling away at it layer by layer, peeling off the onion layer by layer until..."
A gleam of light flashed in Ni Kun's eyes, and he felt that the situation might not be as bad as he had imagined.
"Master Xuanzang and his companions could not think of this because they did not understand the 'truth' of the reincarnation universe... They truly believed that the great being had left all these worlds for the outer demons to use as places of trial, but they never doubted whether the great being had any 'incapability'!"
Thinking of this, Ni Kun suddenly felt relieved.
Although everything is just a "hypothesis", judging from the currently known information, his hypothesis is not purely imaginary but completely logical.
set up--
After sweeping across all the high-energy worlds and blowing up most of the Samsara Universe, the boss, for some reason, failed to complete the final blow to the Samsara Universe, so that there are still many remnants in the Samsara Universe.
The boss is currently unable to wipe out the "remnants", but he cannot allow the remaining reincarnation worlds to grow and recover, so he allows the Blood Evil Saint and others to come for the "trial".
While giving them benefits, they also use them to continue suppressing the remaining reincarnation universes, constantly bleeding them, making them unable to recover and gradually heading towards a chronic death.
Even this kind of "bloodletting" may be of some benefit to the big guys in changing their "incapable" status quo.
Once the big boss has solved his own troubles and has time to spare, he will be able to easily reap the final fruits when facing the reincarnation universe that has declined to the extreme.
See, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this chain of logic.
Of course, the premise for its existence is that the big boss is really in "trouble".
Then, is it possible that the one who can control Tathagata, even if it is only the Tathagata of this "reincarnation universe", and refine Tongtian Jiaozhu into the existence of "Tower of Babel" will encounter "trouble"?
If we regard Him as an absolutely "invincible" existence in every sense, this logic naturally does not hold true. In that case, Ni Kun should just enjoy the rest of his life to the fullest and then lie down and wait for death.
But……
If we acknowledge that He will also encounter "trouble", no matter whether the trouble comes from within the reincarnation universe or outside the reincarnation universe, then chances of life will emerge.
"Although hope is a little vague... but a glimmer of hope is still a glimmer of hope. I can't just lie down and wait to die, right? Everyone has to die... I really don't want to die."
Although he died tens of thousands of times, Ni Kun's desire to survive would never be extinguished.
Feeling that there was nothing wrong with the logic of his reasoning, Ni Kun's feeling of powerlessness and despair disappeared, and he felt full of strength and endless energy.
He immediately reached his big hand into the water, scooped up Diao Chan, let her sit face to face with him on his lap.
He has endless drive and energy that needs to be released.
Just when Ni Kun was full of fighting spirit.
Xiaolongnu pulled Altria and came to the door of Ni Kun's room.
"Isn't this a bad idea? Should we ask Athena to inform her first?"
"What do you want to announce? I just want to give him a surprise..."
As she spoke, Xiao Longnu used her authority as a guardian to open Ni Kun's door and walked in with Altria in her arms.
