I was reincarnated as a single school beauty
Chapter 23 A picture spanning 100,000 years
Light, bright light shone gently on Yun Xi's body, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"what happens?"
Yun Xi rubbed her eyes and looked in front of her.
Towering city gates, ancient buildings, sparkling lakes, and all kinds of pedestrians...
A bustling and prosperous valley appeared before her eyes. It was so unexpected that she couldn't react for a moment.
"That is……"
Yun Xi raised her head and looked at the tall city wall in the distance, feeling a familiar feeling.
She touched her head and began to recall everything that had just happened.
Just now, the deserted city collapsed and the blood trees withered. It seemed like a wave of energy hit her body, and then... it became like this?
Yun Xi looked confused. Feng Ming didn't say that such an abnormality would occur after the Holy Spirit Fruit condensed, so what is going on now?
Yun Xi touched her body to make sure she was still alive, then stepped forward.
She appeared in an ancient city at this time. The buildings here were all red tiles and blue bricks. They were completely different from the modern buildings in Tianling Continent today. The buildings here seemed to be from hundreds of thousands of years ago.
"With the current development of Tianling Continent, there shouldn't be such a city... Could I have been teleported to some remote place?"
For Yun Xi, when the air waves hit her, she immediately lost consciousness. After regaining consciousness, she appeared here.
Therefore, she did not know that she had fallen into a coma and thought that she had been transported somewhere. After all, she had also encountered such an incident in the Xilin Mountains.
"Yimeng, do you know where this is?"
"A dream?"
There was no response from the sea of consciousness. Yun Xi raised a small brow and took a closer look at the towering city wall before suddenly reacting.
"Is it an illusion?"
She looked around. Pedestrians passed by her in a hurry, but no one looked at her and paid attention to her. This was a very unnatural thing.
Yun Xi stretched out her hand,
Stopped in front of a pedestrian.
Silently, the pedestrian passed through her arm and continued walking forward completely indifferent.
"It is indeed an illusion. Then this place...should be what the deserted city looked like before it turned into a dead city?"
Yun Xi's eyes trembled slightly. According to the historical records of Tianling Continent, Desolate City was born in this world earlier than Tianling Alliance. From the first records, this city hidden deep in the Qingheng Mountains has been a dead city filled with fog.
But now, the deserted city in front of Yun Xi not only has rich buildings, but also all kinds of people. There are even cats howling and dogs howling in the alleys...
How many years ago was this scene?
Ten million years ago, or even more ancient times?
Yun Xi walked on the streets of the deserted city. The deserted city in front of her was no different from the ancient cities recorded in history books.
There are wooden houses with tiled roofs on both sides of the street, and some taverns have tables and chairs outside. Many people sit at the tables and drink from large bowls, but there is a heavy look of sadness on their brows.
Compared with the architectural environment in the city, the ridiculously high city wall seemed out of place.
Yun Xi looked back at the high wall, resting her chin on the back of her hand, looking thoughtful.
"This city is built so high. Are you preparing to guard against something?"
Looking at the stone wall that was higher than the main city wall of Tianling County, Yun Xi couldn't help but think of Attack on Titan.
Normally, a city should not build its city walls so tall, especially judging from the buildings in the city. The construction technology of this city is by no means developed.
If you still build such a high city wall when your own technology is not enough, it can only be for defense, right?
Thinking like this, Yun Xi glanced at the tavern on the side and walked over.
As she approached, the conversation between the diners at the table reached her ears very clearly.
"This day... I don't know when it will end?"
"Well, I heard that the city to the west was also destroyed the day before yesterday. In just one month, no less than ten cities have been reduced to ruins. I don't know when it will be our turn."
"Bah! What bad words did you say? As long as the Lord of the City is here, nothing will happen to us!"
"That's right, haha, let's not talk about this anymore, drink! I finally have a free day today and I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
"..."
When they said this, they stopped continuing the topic.
Yun Xi didn't listen anymore and continued to walk forward, while thinking about the meaning of their words.
"Since the establishment of the Tianling Alliance, there has never been a city destruction in the Tianling Continent. So the city I saw was indeed the city before the Tianling Alliance was established."
Yun Xi raised her head, looked at the blood-like sunset on the horizon, and sighed: "Ten million years..."
Before coming to Desolate City, Yun Xi would never have thought that he would be able to transcend the distance of tens of millions of years and see ancient scenes that no longer existed.
She continued down the street.
Similar to the two drunken men just now, many people were discussing the city to the west with worried expressions on their faces.
But when they thought about the presence of the city lord, they seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.
"It seems...the lord of this city is very popular among the people. Where will he live?"
Yun Xi glanced at the inn next to her, tapped her toes, and easily crossed several floors of tall buildings and reached the top of the inn.
Standing on the roof of the inn, Yun Xi looked in all directions and soon found a relatively more majestic residence.
She jumped down from the inn and rushed over there.
Perhaps because of the illusion, Yun Xi found that his speed was faster than before, or that the distance between the two places was actually shorter than it seemed.
In short, she arrived at the house in less than a minute.
This is a rather majestic mansion, but overall it is not luxurious.
The door of the mansion was opened, and Yun Xi walked directly in. The entire mansion was not spacious. In terms of area, it was probably slightly larger than the Yun family.
Yun Xi walked along the corridor to the courtyard and saw a guard walking to a closed room.
"Lord City Lord, I have something to report to you."
The man said respectfully.
A clear and sweet voice came from inside the house: "Come in."
Yun Xi looked surprised: "The lord of this deserted city is actually a woman."
The door was pushed open and the guard walked in, followed closely by Yun Xi.
Walking into the house, Yun Xi saw an ordinary wooden desk and several bookshelves, and deduced that this should be a study room, but it was slightly shabby.
A middle-aged woman wearing silver armor sat at the desk, looked up at the guard, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The guard said: "The old city of Tan in the west was destroyed two days ago. Now people in the city are panicked. Everyone is worried that it will be our turn next. Do we want to do some rituals to appease the people?"
The woman shook her head: "If the ritual is effective, those cities will not be destroyed. Don't worry. Besides...it's too late to do it now."
"Too late?"
The guards didn't quite understand, but Yun Xi felt something.
She flew into the air and her sight fell to the east. There was a stream of red light flying quickly over there, and it would reach Desolate City in less than three minutes at most.
"That's... a blood tree?"
Yun Xi looked at the approaching red light and said to himself.
When she returned to the study, the guards had left.
The lord of the deserted city closed the book on the table and walked out of the study. His body slowly floated into the air and he looked at the red shooting star in the distance.
She sighed softly, her expression calmer than Yun Xi imagined: "What is supposed to come... will always come."
The red light was getting closer and closer, and the meteor gradually turned into a huge red ball. The red light illuminated half of the sky, and even ordinary people noticed the strangeness in the sky.
"A natural disaster! It's a natural disaster! A natural disaster is coming!"
"We...we are going to die too!"
"I don't want to die yet! I don't want to die yet! Help me! Help me!"
All kinds of shouts and howls began to sound, echoing in every corner, and the whole city turned into a mess.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman next to Yun Xi stepped forward and appeared directly in the sky above the entire deserted city. A powerful light also emanated from her body, and waves of air swept across the city. Her voice Echoing in all corners of the deserted city.
"Formation!"
Boom boom boom boom——
Huge roars rang out from the city walls one after another, and light seals shot up into the sky, intertwined in mid-air, and formed a huge protective barrier.
Yun Xi was shocked, not because of this formation, but because of this woman.
The aura exuding from her body was countless times more powerful than what Yun Xi felt from Princess Fengyun. This woman... was a peerless powerhouse in the spirit-killing realm.
Not only that, Yun Xi could also clearly feel that among the forces erupting in the city at this moment, there were no less than five people whose auras were not weaker than Prince Fengyun.
One Killing Spirit and five Luck Spirits, this is an absolutely top force even in the Tianling Alliance.
The fireball in the sky was getting closer and closer. When it came over the city, it had already blocked the sun, and everyone could only see scarlet in their eyes.
boom--
The fireball hit the city protective barrier, and the entire barrier shone with golden light, and the spiritual seals on it kept flashing.
"Stop...stopped?"
The people looked at this scene with joy in their eyes.
However, the next moment, a crisp sound shattered everyone's dreams.
"Click!"
A crack appeared in the barrier.
This crack was like a fuse. After it appeared, countless cracks instantly filled the entire barrier.
Under the gaze of millions of eyes, the golden barrier was filled with cracks until the last crisp sound.
boom!
The barrier shattered, and fireballs fell like stars.
Everyone's eyes were filled with despair.
The woman stood under the barrier, looking at the fireball pressing towards her. Her clothes flew up and she swung out a palm.
This is the power that a strong person in the Soul Killing Realm has spent his entire life. She slapped her palm on the fire ball, and the surging spiritual power surged out like a sea tide, and was then extinguished by despair.
Under the horrified gaze of all the people in the deserted city, she dissipated in mid-air, leaving not even a trace of dust behind.
The fireball fell like this and hit the ground.
It was as if an atomic bomb exploded. After a moment of dead silence, a roar that could shatter everyone's eardrums resounded throughout the world at this moment. Waves of flames swept across, and the entire city's houses were destroyed in an instant. All living creatures had no time to even scream. Then it turned into ashes and disappeared into the world.
The flame waves swept in all directions, but stopped abruptly at the moment when they approached the city gate. The towering city gate stood upright, and the city was burning with flames and ruins.
Yun Xi stood in mid-air, looking down at the devastated city, her body trembling.
This was the first time, and possibly the only time, that she saw the destruction of a city with her own eyes. Under the protection of a strong man in the Soul Killing Realm... it was destroyed so easily.
"What exactly is going on?"
After the fireball landed and the city was destroyed, time seemed to be accelerated.
Yun Xi saw the remaining fire extinguished, saw the ruins turning into dust; saw a bud growing out of the huge pit, which turned into a towering tree in an instant; saw a river appear, with blood-colored water flowing in it; When countless buds bloom, they turn into beautiful black and white flowers, emitting a dim yellow mist...
She saw the destruction of a city and the loneliness of the next ten million years.
I don't know how long it took, but Yun Xi raised his head. Everything was changing, except for the sunset in the sky.
She flew upwards, as if she wanted to get close to the impossible sun.
Everything seemed to be the same as when she first came to this illusion. This seemingly far distance actually took her less than a minute to reach.
That blood-red sunset is not the sun.
It was a blood-colored fruit. The fruit was very small, probably only as big as my sister Yunli's fist, but the red light it emitted was extremely dazzling.
Even in this illusion, Yun Xi was so stabbed that she couldn't open her eyes.
She reached out her hand and held the small fruit.
Red light emitted through her palms, and her delicate palms seemed to be transparent after being printed. The meridians in her palms were clearly visible, and her skin was as red as the surrounding clouds.
"You...are the Holy Spirit Fruit?"
Yun Xi had a questioning tone, but her eyes were particularly firm.
She held the fruit with an indescribably complicated expression on her face: "You have shouldered the lives of so many people, how dare I accept you?"
Perhaps he understood Yun Xi's words, or perhaps the fruit's light had reached its limit, and its bright red light actually weakened at this moment.
The light dimmed very quickly. The clouds on the horizon lost their red light and soon disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth turned into pitch black.
Yun Xi can no longer see that city.
She lowered her head and opened her palms. At this moment, only the faint red glow of the Holy Spirit Fruit remained. It lay obediently in Yun Xi's palm, like a child admitting its mistake.
And perhaps because among its thousands of energy and blood, there was still a part of it that came from her own, Yun Xi actually felt a little kind of affection towards it.
Yun Xi frowned: "You are quite smart."
Being able to absorb the energy and blood of so many living beings, this Holy Spirit Fruit is obviously extraordinary. It cannot be justified without spirituality.
Using the connection between Qi and blood to gain some sympathy may be its way of survival.
Yun Xi sighed. She had no intention of pursuing the Holy Spirit Fruit. Everything she did before was just to prevent Feng Ming and the others from achieving their goals. But now that the Holy Spirit Fruit has become her and she has chosen herself, she has no other choice. .
"If you dare to kill like this indiscriminately and suck the blood of others in the future, I will hand you over...I will destroy you myself."
Thinking of the scene of the fireball destroying an entire city, Yun Xi still didn't dare to hand over the Holy Spirit Fruit to the Tianling Alliance. At this time, it would be better to keep it by herself.
The Holy Spirit Fruit emitted a faint red light, as if responding to Yun Xi's words, and then the red light flashed, and the Holy Spirit Fruit disappeared into Yun Xi's hand.
As for Yun Xi, her consciousness gradually dissipated.
…
"Well……"
When she regained consciousness, Yun Xi felt as if she was lying on the bed, her back was a little soft, but she didn't know why her body was a little heavy.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw a delicate and pretty face.
The girl has short flowing hair and long eyelashes. She is sitting on her body with her legs wrapped around her waist. She seems to be preparing to do something meaningful, or maybe she has already done something meaningful.
Yun Xi's awakening attracted the girl's attention. She raised her eyes and met Yun Xi's eyes.
She was sweating profusely and stammered her greeting: "Xiao...Xiao Xi, morning...good morning!"
Yun Xi glanced at her lifted clothes, then looked at her, a smile gradually appeared on her face.
"Xiao! Ling!! Yuan!!!"
