Volume 7: The Great War Chapter 9 Life is a dream since ancient times
"Poppy~"
"Poppy~"
Who is it? Who is calling her name?
Yinglili's consciousness gradually regained consciousness from the chaos. Who was calling her? Thinking back to their previous encounter, could it be Purple Cloud Beast Pingping? Oh, no, or should I call him Demon King Yuxiao? No, this voice definitely didn't sound like Pingping.
The voice sounded so ethereal, as if it came from the sky above the nine heavens, and as if it was surrounded by a wisp of light smoke.
Wait, she had heard this voice before, it was Xuan Yue!
Ying Lili woke up immediately. She looked around and suddenly found herself standing in a void. No, it would be better to say it was a sea of stars and the Milky Way!
The stars were shining brightly under her feet, as if they were endless. At this moment, Ying Lili felt as if she was standing in the vast starry sky. An unknown buoyancy supported her body, making her float in the starry sky.
Where exactly is this?
She looked around and asked tentatively, "Is it Master Xuan Yue?"
The other party suddenly chuckled, as if amused by the serious honorific of Gong Lili. That subtle laughter was like the first water lily breaking out of the bud in the lotus pond in the early morning, suddenly creating ripples in the pond, which suddenly calmed Gong Lili's troubled heart.
"It's me." The other party spoke lightly, and then, a shadow gradually appeared in front of Ying Lili's eyes. It was a handsome man in a plain robe. Unfortunately, his face was still not clear, and the shadow looked extremely ethereal.
"Where is this? A dream? Or an illusion? How did I get here? Wasn't I with Pingping before, no, with the Demon King Yuxiao?" Ying Lili tried to summon the Biluo Sword in her body to figure out whether this was a dream or an illusion.
"I asked Yuxiao to bring you here. This is not a dream, but an illusion created by the Bodhi Stone. What is here now is your soul." The phantom suddenly sat cross-legged and pointed, and Pinglili subconsciously sat opposite him.
"Bodhi stone?" She repeated subconsciously, and looked around again, as if she couldn't believe her ears. Was all this an illusion created by the stone?
"Then, where is Yuxiao?" Although the other party is the Demon King, to Gong Lili, he is still the child-like Purple Cloud Beast. He saved him before, so naturally she is concerned about his safety.
"He's fine. Nightmare Moon can't do anything to him."
For some reason, the Master's voice suddenly gave Ping Lili a sense of security. A surge of grievances rose in her heart, and the grief she had been suppressing for days could no longer be contained. She choked with sobs, like a helpless child: "Mo Yi, Mo Yi..."
"I know." The other party seemed to have known what she wanted to say and continued.
"Tell me, how can I get Mo Yi back?! How can I refine the Heavenly Stone as soon as possible!" Ping Lili suddenly raised her head and asked anxiously. Her heart was full of Mo Yi, and she had completely forgotten to ask herself what would happen.
"Unfortunately, we have no other shortcuts except waiting for the birth of that child." The other party's words made Gong Lili feel as if she was thrown into an icy cave. However, the other party changed the subject: "However, I have asked Yu Xiao to take your body to a safe and secure place. Demon Lord Yan Yue will not be able to find you for the time being. However, during this time, your soul must remain in this Bodhi Stone. I will help you quickly comprehend the true essence of the Bi Luo Sword Technique."
Hearing the other party's arrangement, Ying Lili's heart, which had risen to her throat, didn't know whether to let it go or pick it up again. "But what about Long Yu and the others? What will become of the Xu Ming Realm during this period?"
Ping Lili has never been a person who only cares about his own life and death. Thinking of the scenes in the South China Sea before, he still feels scared.
No matter whether it was Long Yu, Wei Xingying, Qing Luan, or even Huai Lian Zhuo Ao, she didn't want to see any of them sacrificed.
"This is not your concern. What you need to do now is to understand the Bi Luo sword technique as soon as possible to reduce unnecessary sacrifices." Xuan Yue said this very tactfully. Gong Lili was shocked. Yes, she seemed so small and powerless in front of the Demon Lord Yan Yue before. Not only could she not save anyone, she couldn't even protect herself. How could she save Mo Yi?
Ying Lili gritted her teeth and immediately made a decision in her heart. She was not a person who would drag her feet and be indecisive. Now that she had figured out the seriousness of the matter, she would not make any more unnecessary struggles.
However, at this moment, she had more questions in her mind: "I have always had a question. Others said that you broke through the void and left? But, after breaking through the void, where did you go?" This is a question that has been confusing Ying Lili for a long time.
"Endless void, everywhere." This answer left Gong Lili stunned for a while.
"You, you mean that you have turned into dust, or are no longer in this world?" Ying Lili said in a trembling voice. At this moment, she finally understood why Xuan Yue chose her as his successor. It turned out that he no longer existed in this world, so he chose a replacement.
"You could also say that I exist with this underworld."
"Then what are you now? A human or a ghost?" Ying Lili's questions became more and more unscrupulous. For some reason, she had different degrees of resistance and psychological shadows towards Zhuo Ao and Kamai Yi before, but for the master of Zhuo Ao and Kamai Yi, she could talk to him frankly without any scruples.
For some reason, the other person always gave her an extremely friendly feeling. It was a kind of magical power that made people subconsciously feel relaxed when facing him.
"What you see now is a ray of divine consciousness that I have placed on this Bodhi stone." The other party suddenly stretched out his hand and lightly touched the forehead of Yinglili. As the center of his eyebrows gradually became hot, Yinglili finally saw the other party's appearance, but was stunned again. This was a handsome middle-aged man with a gentle face. Although he was just sitting there casually with his legs crossed, the aura emanating from his whole body was something Yinglili had never felt before. It was not oppressive, but made people feel that they were one with the world.
Moreover, this face is really familiar. Although it is not exactly the same, the appearance is exactly the same as that of Ying Lili's cheap father who has been doing exploration in the wild for many years in this world.
However, there is still some slight difference. My father does not have such a banished immortal temperament.
"You, what is the relationship between you and me?" This thought suddenly popped up in Yinglili's mind for no reason, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Didn't I tell you long ago that you're my descendant?" When these words entered Qinglili 's ears, she was completely petrified. She was Xuanyue's descendant? Was that why he looked so much like her father? Oh, no, should I say that his father looked so much like him?
She suddenly remembered the first time she was in the illusion. Xuan Yue seemed to have said the same thing, saying that it was her fate as his descendant. She didn't have time to hear his words clearly at the time. Unexpectedly, those two words she didn't hear clearly were so important.
"Then what should I call you?" Ying Lili tried hard to recall her ancestors for eighteen generations, and was surprised to find that she had no impression of her father's previous generation. It seemed that since she could remember, she had never heard her father mention grandparents. She once suspected that her father came out of a stone.
"You are my granddaughter." As the other party said this, Ying Lili looked him up and down again, carefully examining his eyebrows and facial features, and subconsciously complained: "But you look younger than my father."
"Haha, because my face has forever remained at the moment I broke through the void and left."
"Wait, if you're really my grandfather, then isn't my father an ordinary person, either?" Ying Lili began to doubt her family's lineage completely. Could it be that the Void Realm was her true home? However, thinking back on her parents' words and actions, they seemed completely unaware of this. Furthermore, her parents never seemed to show any signs of being out of the ordinary; they were just an ordinary couple.
"He always hoped that he was an ordinary person, and he worked hard to be so." Speaking of his son, Xuan Yue shook his head with regret.
"What do you mean?" Ping Lili suddenly heard something strange in these words. What does it mean to wish that you were an ordinary person?
"He has ignored you all these years. It's not that he wants to do so, but he can't control the extraordinary power in his body. If he stays with you, it will hurt you." Xuan Yue lightly tapped his fingertips, and some clear images suddenly unfolded in front of Ying Lili like a kaleidoscope.
The people in the image were Ying Lili's father and mother.
At this moment, Ping Lili finally understood why she was always alone back then. It turned out that the so-called field work was a huge lie. Her father was actually not an ordinary human being at all.
