Male supporting role is not a stepping stone
Chapter 321 Star Legend 22 (Four-in-one finale) (1/2)
When he saw Guan You, Yang Yan found that his condition was even worse than Chen described. A cultivator should keep his breath restrained, but the spiritual energy around him overflowed from his body, and he was violent and aggressive.
This was a typical manifestation of an unstable state of mind. A young man in his early forties was in high spirits, but the man in front of him had bloodshot eyes and a haggard face, as if he would fall down at any time.
"Student Si," Guan You's eyes were filled with surprise when he saw the two of them. He almost couldn't wait to meet them. He even stumbled and stumbled on the way. "Can you teach me? How did you escape from being struck by so many thunders?"
"Be careful," Yang Yan caught his arm steadily, "Don't worry, I will teach you all my experience."
His voice and eyes revealed a calming power. Guan You gradually calmed down. He held his hand back and said anxiously: "Thank you, thank you!"
"I don't know what's going on. The more I want to calm down, the more I can't calm down. There is always a mysterious voice in my head telling me that I will definitely be struck by thunder."
Huh! It seems that this child was scared and almost had a demon in his heart.
Yang Yan felt a little guilty. After all, he became like this because he saw the scene of his own tribulation. Being struck by thunder is a common thing for cultivators, but it is a bit too scary for these people who don't know the inside story.
"Don't worry, I will help you." Chen Suo didn't know how he moved. He only saw him wave his hand gently, and Guan You, who was as tall as him, took a few steps back and fell on the sofa.
While he was stunned, Yang Yan had already stepped forward, gently tapped his brow with his index finger, and said in a gentle voice: "Close your eyes, calm your mind, and concentrate."
These simple words were particularly convincing when spoken from his mouth. Guan You didn't even think about it, and immediately closed his eyes as he said.
A warm breath came from his eyebrows, and his anxious mood was instantly soothed. Slowly, he actually returned to the peaceful state at the beginning of his practice.
After the spiritual energy in his body circulated freely, Yang Yan withdrew his hand, and did not leave afterwards. He asked Chen Suo to sit next to him, and then took out a few almost transparent stones and a knife from his pocket, and began to carve on them quickly.
When he finished carving a piece and was about to put it down, Chen took it curiously and found that the stone was not the crystal he thought it was. It was warm to the touch and seemed to contain some kind of energy. He couldn't help asking, "What is this?"
"It's the ore I found on the Dawn II. It contains a lot of spiritual energy, so I call it a spiritual stone." Yang Yan didn't stop moving his hands when he answered, and soon carved the second piece.
Chen Suo "grabbed" it again without waiting for him to put it down. He looked at the seemingly irregular lines and symbols on it, but he couldn't understand it at all, so he could only continue to ask: "What do these mean, what's the use of carving it?"
Yang Yan patiently explained: "After carving these, you can place them in position to utilize the spiritual energy in the spirit stone. The principle should be similar to how we use electricity, nuclear energy, solar energy, etc."
"It's amazing!" Chen Suo did not doubt his words. After sighing, he wondered, "How do you know how to use the spirit stone?"
Of course, it is the knowledge accumulated through continuous learning and creation over thousands of years, but this cannot be said. Yang Yan didn't know how the person who first came up with the idea of inventing the formation did it. He said casually: "I just think it should be done this way. If you ask me, I can't explain it."
Now Chen Suo wanted to continue asking, but there was no way. Anyway, he didn't know. It felt like this mysterious thing, who could explain it clearly?
Finally, he had to give up the idea of tracing the source and asked him about the rules and meanings of those line symbols. Yang Yan did not hide this and explained it in a way that he could understand.
The more Chen listened, the more he felt that the so-called formation involved profound things, which was a profound knowledge that was not inferior to science. When Guan You finished his meditation, he was already dazzled by the latest knowledge he had come into contact with.
"Chen?" Seeing his respected director holding a pile of crystal stones with an obsessed look in his eyes and muttering to himself, Guan You helplessly cast his eyes for help to the young man next to him, "Student Si, what's wrong with Chen?"
Could it be that he had some kind of hypochondria?
"It's okay, Chen is just a little excited about discovering new ore," Yang Yan did not explain so much to him, and said casually, and then asked, "How do you feel now, can you still hear that voice?"
Guan You looked at the director hesitantly, always feeling that things seemed not so simple, but since Student Si said so, he didn't want to ask more questions, as if he didn't trust him.
He calmed down and answered honestly: "I still hear it, but this time I can clearly tell that it is just confusing me and will not be affected by it again."
Such a child can already distinguish between reality and illusion. This child's aptitude is really good. No wonder he can cultivate to the state of Dan so quickly by relying on half guidance and half groping.
Yang Yan checked and found that he had a solid foundation and abundant spiritual energy. If there is no accident, he can successfully form a Dan. The only thing he lacks is the state of mind.
"I have a way here. You can experience the feeling of breaking through the realm in advance while ensuring your safety. However, I have never tried it before. I wonder if you are willing to try it."
Guan You agreed without much thought: "I do!"
Student Si is the only person in the entire galaxy who has broken through the second level. If he can't do anything, no one in the world can help him.
Besides, it was so simple to relieve the inexplicable anxiety that had trapped him for almost a year. Now he feels better than ever. He believes that the method he said must be based on his own experience, at least better than his own muddled experience.
Although Yang Yan didn't know what he was thinking, he could guess a little bit. Seeing this, he didn't hesitate and immediately set up an illusion array to ask him to enter.
Guan You didn't ask any more questions out of trust, but there was some curiosity in his eyes. Isn't this the ore that Chen was fiddling with? Can these little things help him?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he also stepped into the array. For a moment, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. There was a loud noise in the air. He looked up and was horrified to find that dark clouds were pressing down, just like when Student Si broke through the realm more than ten years ago.
What's going on?
Before Guan You could figure out the situation, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to have reached their peak, and a lightning bolt as thick as an arm struck directly at his head.
His heartbeat almost stopped, and he subconsciously wanted to escape, but at the critical moment, a voice said in his ear: "Move the spiritual energy in your body, go forward, and temper your body with lightning."
It was Si's voice!
Guan You's raised foot fell back, and he stood there with his head held high, resisting the urge to escape. At the same time, he moved his spiritual energy according to his instructions, but he was still very scared to watch the lightning strike him, so he simply closed his eyes and didn't watch.
A strong sense of numbness spread from the top of his head to his whole body. At that moment, he suspected that he might have been burned, but after a long time, the feeling subsided, and he found that he was fine, not even a hair had fallen.
Without giving him time to think, thunder continued to fall, and each one landed on him accurately. He gritted his teeth and endured it all, but slowly found that the thunder was not as terrible as he had imagined.
Although it was painful to be struck on his body, they did not cause too much damage to his body. No, it should be said that while it was destroying him, there was a force helping him to repair it, and the faster his spiritual energy circulated, the faster he recovered.
This seemed a bit like the feeling of taking the transformation fluid at the beginning. Although it was indeed painful, it was strengthening his body. After thinking about this, Guan You's fear was instantly swept away. It was just a lightning version of the transformation fluid, and it was free. It hurt a little bit, and it wouldn't hurt less flesh.
After that, he changed from passively being struck by thunder to actively facing it, and he would do some cool moves when he had time, and he had a lot of fun.
The people outside the formation could not see the lightning. They only saw him standing there for a while, then raising his hands above his head like a superman flying, then standing proudly and suddenly looking back with a self-proclaimed handsome smile, then standing on one leg and making a flying posture...
Yang Yan: "..."
Chen Suo: "..."
I was speechless.
"Xiao Si, will your formation affect people's brains?" Chen Suo was a little worried. It is good to improve strength, but if you lose your IQ, it will be a loss.
"No, no," Yang Yan explained quickly, "This formation is called an illusion formation, which can make people hallucinate. In the eyes of Guard Guan, he should be breaking through the realm now, that is, there is thunder striking him."
Chen Suo: "..."
Is it very comfortable and happy to be struck by thunder? Chen Suo fell into deep thought.
Completely unaware of the misunderstanding in his heart, Yang Yan saw from his performance that he should be able to break through the magic barrier smoothly, putting aside the young man's stupid performance. After all, sometimes people are afraid because they know nothing, and when they really face it, they will find that it is just like this.
This is indeed the case. The time in the illusion array is faster than the real world. After a while, Guan You survived the last terrifying thunder and was feeling the comfort of the spiritual energy nourishing his body.
The scene in front of him suddenly changed again. Facing two faces with complicated expressions, his mind was confused for a while, and then he realized that the extremely real experiences just now seemed not real.
"Thank you, classmate Si, I am not afraid at all now!" Guan You immediately reported the good news excitedly without knowing that his reaction was seen by them.
"..." Yang Yan was silent for a moment, "I'm glad I can help you."
Guan You didn't understand the two people's complicated feelings. He looked down at the powder around him and asked curiously: "Your things are really amazing. What kind of ore is it? I thought it was real just now. I was scared to death at first..."
"This needs further research. You will know later..." Yang Yan's face suddenly changed, "Now is not the time to talk about this. You'd better find an empty place immediately. I feel that you are really going to break through!"
Chen Suo thought of the commotion he made at the beginning, and a trace of anxiety appeared on his expressionless face: "Hurry, leave here immediately and go to the barren mountain on the east side."
Guan You also couldn't forget the huge pit that was still there. Without waiting for them to continue urging, he quickly drilled out of the house and ran to the place he said.
The two followed closely and found that the sky that was clear before entering was already gathering dark thunderclouds. Chen Suo was scared: "Fortunately you found it in time."
This is a residential area. Tens of thousands of people who come to the planet live here. If Guan You really breaks through here, I'm afraid not everyone will have time to evacuate, and the consequences will be disastrous.
"So consider living more dispersedly. If the same situation happens next time and it's too late, or if other situations occur, it won't be good." Yang Yan suggested.
In fact, he was a little selfish. It was really a bit hurtful to the eyes to see that they were living so densely and cramped after practicing Taoism!
Chen Suo didn't have the romantic thoughts of Taoism practitioners in his mind, but from a pragmatic point of view, his proposal was indeed correct, so he agreed to it.
But this is all later. The important thing at the moment is Guan You's breakthrough. After Yang Yan confirmed that his chance of success this time was as high as 90%, Chen Suo immediately notified everyone to come out and take a look.
Especially the other few people who were very close to breaking through the second level, just took this opportunity to see if they could learn some experience, and after seeing Guan You succeed with their own eyes, they could also gain some confidence.
At the same time, he ordered people to bring over the specially light-proof photographic equipment, and try to record the whole process clearly, so that they can study and observe it in the future.
A vigorous tribulation began under the attention of the crowd. It was really the attention of the crowd. A dark circle of people around were watching intently.
Fortunately, Guan You's attention was all attracted by the thunderclouds and lightning, otherwise he would have been under a lot of pressure. However, it was quite sad that he seemed to be a little too excited when he passed the thunder tribulation, and he didn't notice that his clothes had been completely turned into ashes by the thunder, so the result was...
I want to ask the newly promoted Guan You, who has reached the second level of the realm, what the psychological shadow area is at this time.
Although there were some twists and turns during the period, and the recorded video was coded for "some reasons", his successful breakthrough this time did make a good start and gave a lot of confidence to those who came later.
After that, several more people passed the thunder tribulation and transformed into golden elixirs. What Yang Yan and Chen said was not all lies. When the cultivators were promoted, some of them did get some insights from the world.
For example, Guan You learned the art of flying without a teacher, some people have special sensitivity to spiritual plants, and some can tame animals for their own use...
Yang Yan stayed in Shuguang Star for five years, communicating with these cultivators who first entered the second level of the realm, subtly guiding them to discover something, prompting them to figure out their abilities faster, and slowly the cultivation system of this world finally took shape.
Since the existence of spiritual energy and its miraculous effect on dealing with interstellar beasts were announced, the information here has always been announced in real time on the Star Network.
Because they saw that the physique was greatly enhanced after cultivation, and several people survived the thunder tribulation in succession, the number of people who signed up for cultivation has increased dramatically in the past two years.
The four major families, Fu Family, Nie Family, Xiao Family, and Yang Family, which replaced the defeated Wei Family, also sent their descendants to study here. Yang Yan's two roommates who had shared a dormitory with him for more than half a year in the military academy happened to be among them.
Originally, their friendship was not that deep. After more than ten years, they inevitably became more unfamiliar with each other. However, Fu Leyi and Cen Yongnian were not the kind of people who flattered the powerful and trampled on the weak. They did not force themselves to curry favor with him because they saw that he was in an extraordinary position now.
Yang Yan took care of them a little because of their friendship as classmates. The three of them would occasionally have dinner together. They did not contact each other much, and only met once every two or three months, but in the eyes of others, they felt that their friendship was quite good.
You should know that he was basically alone all day long on weekdays. It was only Chen who communicated with him a little more. Others wanted to get close to him but could not even catch his shadow.
Therefore, from time to time, people who wanted to see him would ask their connections to the two of them, but they knew that their reputation was not that big, so they rejected all those who could be rejected. However, the one they met recently was not so easy to refuse, so they could only bite the bullet and say it out.
"Xiao Qiuling wants to see me?" Yang Yan paused when he heard the name. Although the heroine was the official match of the original owner, they had no intersection in this life. Why would she want to meet him?
"Yes, you may not know that she is the eldest granddaughter of Marshal Xiao." After saying the matter, Fu Leyi was calm, "I owed her a favor before, so I promised her to tell you, but you decide whether to see her or not, don't worry about my thoughts."
He didn't think he had such a big face that he could go against his own wishes for him. When Xiao Qiuling asked him to pass the message, it was already clear that his mission was over whether it succeeded or not.
Yang Yan liked his knowledgeable and interesting personality, so he was not angry. If it was someone else, he might have refused directly, but that person was the heroine, so he hesitated a little.
Xiao Qiuling would take the initiative to find him. Was it the strong inertia of the plot, or was there some kind of change in the middle?
He never wanted to have an emotional entanglement with anyone. In order to completely eliminate it, he should just not meet her, but he had a feeling that if he really didn't meet her, it would have a more serious impact.
In the end, Yang Yan decided to follow his feelings and nodded to agree to meet.
In the original book, the author used half a chapter to describe the beauty of the heroine. The original owner didn't dare to look closely because the other party was his friend's fiancée, but he was also amazed at the first glance.
After meeting her in person, Yang Yan had to admit that she was indeed beautiful. Among the countless beauties of all kinds that he had experienced in so many worlds, she could still be ranked in the top 50.
Xiao Qiuling was a little excited when she first walked into the private room, but after sitting opposite him, her face began to gradually become disappointed, and then became paler and paler, until she almost completely lost her blood color.
"Who are you?" Her voice should have been crisp and pleasant, but now it was a little obscure, "You are not A Yan, what about him? Where is he?"
With these words, combined with her attitude, Yang Yan could basically determine what was going on. The woman in front of him was a reborn person, and there was no doubt that she had an emotional entanglement with the original owner.
"I don't understand what you mean," he could only play dumb at this time, "Ms. Xiao, I respect your grandfather very much, so I agreed to this meeting after hearing that it was you."
"But you seem to think I'm someone else. Sorry, if the person you really want to see is not me, then I think there is no need for us to waste each other's time."
"No!" Xiao Qiuling raised her voice a little bit out of control, "The person I'm looking for is you, no, that's not right, you're not him, why? The name and appearance are exactly the same, but I know very well that you're not him. What went wrong?"
Seeing her covering her head with a painful look on her face, Yang Yan also felt a headache. He didn't know what went wrong in this world. Not only did a book-crosser come, but now even rebirth has been created. Can it be better?
He wanted to leave quickly regardless of this matter, but seeing that the heroine was almost about to collapse, he couldn't bear to do that.
General Xiao paid so much to protect this world, and he took good care of him when he was under his command, and even fought against the then powerful Wei family for him. He couldn't let his eldest granddaughter get into trouble here, right?
He hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Although I don't know what happened to you, if you are willing to talk, I can be a listener who will forget what I have heard after leaving."
Xiao Qiuling could no longer hold back, and tears burst out of her beautiful eyes.
Yang Yan patiently waited for her to vent her emotions. After a long time, he saw her slowly calm down, and there was only numbness on her face. When he thought she would not want to confide in him, a familiar but unfamiliar person, she began to tell her story.
Xiao Qiuling was indeed reborn, but this was not her first rebirth, but the second time.
The first life was no different from the book. After graduating from the military academy, she joined the army where her grandfather was, where she met Si Yangyan. The two of them went from tit-for-tat at the beginning and neither of them was convinced, to gradually becoming sympathetic, and then knowing each other and falling in love.
The difference is that the ending of the book is that the male protagonist defeated the interstellar beast king, and later rose all the way to become the Grand Marshal, married a beautiful woman, and gave birth to a pair of lovely children, living a happy life.
But Xiao Qiuling died after the happy ending. It should be said that many people died later, which was not written in the book. As Yang Yan guessed, there was more than one beast king they defeated.
More than ten years later, a large number of monsters with strength not weaker than it jumped out of the space cracks. The army had almost no resistance to them. Even the male protagonist, who was called the first person in the galaxy, was torn into pieces and eaten by them.
Nearly a hundred beast kings entered the no-man's land, and humans completely became their food. There was no resistance at all. Wherever they went, there was only wailing and fleeing.
Xiao Qiuling died a little later than the male protagonist, because she was lucky not to be in the army at that time, but this also became her tragedy, because after half a year of escape, she saw her two children being eaten by monsters with her own eyes, and she was chewed into powder by sharp giant teeth in extreme pain.
When she found out that she was not dead, but reborn thirty years ago, she was ecstatic, thinking that everything had not happened yet and there was still a chance to save it.
But when she wanted to find Si Yangyan, she was surprised to find that he did not come to Grandpa's army, but to the Second Corps, and her fiancé who had died a few years ago was not dead, and was officially engaged to her.
Later, the memories of the second life slowly emerged in her mind, and she realized that there were many differences between this life and the previous life. Her lover was far less outstanding than in the previous life, while her fiancé changed his ways and became a person respected by many people.
If she had a stronger sense of utilitarianism, it would definitely be more beneficial to go with Wei Cang, who was completely different. However, she was upright and loved the male protagonist deeply. After confirming that he was still him, she decisively proposed to Wei Cang to cancel the engagement.
However, because her fiancé was not as useless as in the previous life, this matter did not go so smoothly in this life. When she was entangled with her family about this matter, the bad news came that Si Yangyan had made a big mistake and was about to face a military trial.
Xiao Qiuling knew him too well and didn't believe that he would do such a thing as being greedy for merit and reckless, disregarding the safety of his teammates. However, all the unfavorable evidence pointed to him, and Wei Cang's testimony directly convicted him.
At this time, if she still didn't know that all this was calculated by her fiancé, then she would really be a fool. Unfortunately, it was useless for her to know, because the key was that she had no evidence to overturn the case for her lover.
What happened next was like another nightmare. Si Yangyan escaped, but was forced to the end of his road, while Wei Cang, the perpetrator, became a hero and was rewarded.
Xiao Qiuling suppressed the hatred in her heart and pretended to be deceived by Si Yangyan and regretted it, then secretly collected evidence of his crimes and finally brought him down in one fell swoop.
The Wei family still wanted to save him, so how could she let them succeed? She bribed someone to do it during the escort, and specially chose a burial place for him to ensure that he died the same way as A Yan, who was harmed by him.
Although the Wei family had some doubts after the incident, they also couldn't produce evidence, and they couldn't confront her, so the matter was left unresolved.
Xiao Qiuling was not a love-brained person. While avenging her lover, she didn't forget the tragic situation later. She told her grandfather what she knew in advance and asked him to discuss countermeasures together.
Fortunately, her grandfather was not that kind of old stubborn. After confirming that she really knew what would happen in the future, he took it very seriously. Unfortunately, they made so many preparations in advance, but in the end they still couldn't avoid the tragic situation of mankind.
They resisted that batch of beast kings, but then came the second and third batches, and even beasts more powerful than the beast kings...
When Xiao Qiuling was reborn again, she almost hated it. If humans were destined to perish, she would rather die completely in the first life, rather than come back again and again like this, watching the people around her die one after another, and she was powerless.
When she desperately wanted to end her life, the memory that suddenly emerged in her mind stopped her behavior in time. Humans discovered the spiritual energy that was very effective against interstellar beasts.
This alone was enough to shock Xiao Qiuling. Later, she was even more surprised to find that Wei Cang, who harmed them in the previous life, died even earlier than in the first life, and A Yan, she didn't know him yet.
It can't be said that she didn't know him, it can only be said that she didn't know him. Si Yangyan is now a celebrity in the entire interstellar. He was the first person to discover the spiritual energy, and even the name "spiritual energy" was given by him.
When Xiao Qiuling knew all this, she didn't think about why he didn't come to find her. She unilaterally thought that he must have awakened the memory of the first life and knew that there would be more difficult interstellar alien beasts invading in the future, so he started to think of a solution early.
She thought sweetly and sadly that she lost to him again this time. She started preparing from the beginning, but ended up with the same result, while he really found a solution.
However, when she really saw him, she despairedly found that this was not her lover. Although the identity, name and appearance were the same, she would not recognize it. This was not him.
Perhaps because she had vented before, Xiao Qiuling seemed unusually calm when talking about these sad and desperate things. Her tone was calm and there was no expression on her face, as if she was not telling her own experience, but someone else's story.
Yang Yan then figured out why the book-crosser behaved differently from the book. He was afraid that he was reborn after the heroine killed him in the previous life, so he gave up the plan to win over the original book hero and changed to kill him in advance while he was still weak.
Moreover, he probably didn't know the secret that the heroine was reborn until he died. He took action in advance to prevent her from meeting the original owner, so as not to be unable to resist the attraction between the hero and heroine.
The matter was finally cleared up, but the problem came again. What should he do now?
It was impossible to be with the heroine. He had no interest in love between men and women. Besides, people had already found out that he was not the original one, and they might not be happy.
But this girl was really miserable! In the first life, all her relatives, husband and children died. In the second life, she didn't even have the chance to see her lover. He died again. In the third life, it was even worse. Her lover simply changed someone else.
Yang Yan, who thought that he was not very emotional, felt sad for her after hearing this. As the person involved, Xiao Qiuling probably wanted to die, right?
Now, probably only Si Yang Yan himself could give her the motivation to live, but the problem came again. The original owner had no memory of the first life at all. Even if he came back, in his impression, this was just the fiancée of his former friend.
Just when Yang Yan was having a headache and didn't know what to do, Xiaoyi, the system that had become almost useless after he recovered most of the soul fragments, suddenly called him across space.
"Tianzun, Tianzun, Si Yangyan remembered the memories of his previous life after hearing the words of the heroine. He is willing to die and use all his soul power in exchange for returning to this small world to live a lifetime. Is that okay?"
The childish voice was a little choked, and it was obvious that he had just cried not long ago. As a system, Xiaoyi had more emotions than its master. After hearing about Xiao Qiuling's tragic experience, it couldn't help crying.
"Silly thing, is this something he can do if he is willing to pay a price?" Yang Yan scolded helplessly.
Since he recovered most of the soul and restored his past memories, he has never extracted the soul power of the original owner again in various small worlds. After all, it is a kind of fate that his soul fragments fall on them.
The problem is that the original owner is dead, and there is a boundary with the original world. He can break this boundary with his current ability, but he is afraid that if he fails, the whole world will be broken.
"Can't Tianzun think of a way? They are really miserable!" Xiaoyi didn't want to cause trouble to Tianzun, but he really couldn't help it. These two are good people, why don't they have a good ending?
The little system has always been very well-behaved and obedient, and has never asked him for anything. Yang Yan felt uncomfortable listening to its childish sobbing, and he has always been kind to people with upright character, and the male and female protagonists are obviously.
It is too heavy to gamble the safety of the whole world just for the two of them. I believe they would not be willing to do it if they knew.
Sure enough, after Yang Yan asked Xiao Yi to convey the possible price, Si Yang Yan gave up on his own.
"Tian Zun, he said that since this is the case, let it go. He dare not bear so many lives for his own selfishness. He also said that he was very sorry for making things difficult for you just now because of his impulse..."
Xiao Yi was crying as he relayed, "He just had a request. If you have a way, please erase Xiao Qiuling's memory of the past. He doesn't want to see her in so much pain."
"It's so miserable!" At the end, it burst into tears again, "The Tao is so unfair. People like Wei Cang have the opportunity to travel to another world and live again. Since Xiao Qiuling was reborn twice, why can't Si Yang Yan be reborn once?"
Xiao Yi just couldn't stand it for a while and complained in anger. Yang Yan's heart moved when he heard it. Yes! This world first had a book traveler, and then the heroine was reborn twice. Maybe the rules here are not as strict as he imagined?
"Maybe I have a way to get him back..."
"Really?" Xiao Qiuling's dull eyes suddenly brightened up, and her wooden face was replaced by surprise. She looked at him with anticipation mixed with nervousness, and even a little fear.
Yang Yan then realized that he had unconsciously spoken out the words in his mind. For others, it is difficult to take back what has been said, but with his means, it is very easy to erase the other party's memory.
However, he couldn't bear it when he met her eager eyes, so he nodded and said, "Let me think about it. Now I can give you a completely definite answer."
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you so much!" Xiao Qiuling was so happy that she was a little incoherent, but after the excitement passed, she realized something was wrong and asked stutteringly, "He, he is back, then, what about you, you?"
The girl who was radiant just now became extremely depressed in an instant: "If the price is to sacrifice yourself, then forget it, A Yan and I can't bear a living life."
Look, people with good character are like this, never taking others' efforts for granted.
Yang Yan smiled gently and said, "Don't worry about me. I have my own place to go. I'm not great enough to sacrifice myself for others. Besides, I believe you have some understanding of my abilities."
Xiao Qiuling saw that his expression was not fake, and the uneasiness in her heart finally dissipated. She stood up and bowed 90 degrees, and said sincerely: "Then I'll leave it to you, sir. I'm grateful for your kindness. As long as you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Then what can I do?" As for whether the other party was lying to her, she had no doubt about it. With his current status and ability, she didn't think there was anything about her that was worth his plotting.
"Be patient and wait. I promise to give you an answer within a hundred years." Yang Yan thought for a while and said, "During this period, you can try to draw spiritual energy into your body for cultivation."
After all, his current body has reached the Nascent Soul stage, with a lifespan of two thousand years. He doesn't want to see that he has worked hard to get the original owner back, but the two of them have been together for a hundred years and then separated by Yin and Yang because of the difference in cultivation. There is always a feeling of wasting his efforts.
As for whether she has the talent for cultivation, Yang Yan did not doubt it. After all, she is the heroine, so she should be luckier than ordinary people... right?
Recalling her experience of three lives as a human, he thought to himself with a little uncertainty.
Fortunately, the heroine's halo finally made some progress in this regard. Xiao Qiuling did have the talent for cultivation, and her aptitude was not bad. Under his guidance, she successfully led the Qi into her body in a few days, and then she made rapid progress.
Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, comforted her and asked her to continue to cultivate calmly, and then he left the Dawn Star and began to wander the entire universe again.
Since the book-crosser appeared first, and then the heroine was reborn, there must be a weak point in the boundary wall of this world. What he has to do is to find it out, and then safely extradite the original owner from here.
If it was a small world encountered before, it would not be so troublesome. He could just sit there and explore with his soul. Unfortunately, the territory of this world is too large, so he can only change to another place after his soul can no longer reach it.
Time passed year after year, as if thirty years had passed in the blink of an eye. Yang Yan had almost traveled the entire universe, but still hadn't found the place he wanted to find. Instead, he received news from the heroine first. In her memory, the beast king appeared in large numbers in this year.
In fact, according to her, Yang Yan could infer that the so-called beast king was probably a demon beast in the Nascent Soul stage. Although they were strong, their IQ was not as good as that of humans. A human of the same level should be able to kill two or three beasts.
In recent years, the alliance has gradually seen dozens of people who have broken through the third level, that is, Nascent Soul cultivators, including Xiao Qiuling, who has been promoted for several years. With the help of spiritual energy bombs, they are enough to deal with these beasts.
However, perhaps because the memories in the past were too tragic, the heroine did not have such confidence as him. Hearing her nervous tone, Yang Yan still agreed to go there in person.
After a full month of long-distance flight, when he arrived, it was less than two days away from the time in Xiao Qiuling's memory. In this life, she still chose to confess to her grandfather.
General Xiao didn't know how to report to his superiors. Now most of the cultivators were gathered here, especially those who had broken through the realm. Those at the first, second and third levels, who did not hold important positions like Chen Suo, were summoned here.
"You came just in time. I have reliable news. The ones coming from the space rift this time are likely to have the same strength as the alien beast king in previous years, and there are very many of them. Humanity will face a bloody battle."
He didn't know that Yang Yan was very clear about the cause and effect. She explained it to him and said solemnly: "So this time is related to the survival of mankind, so please leave me."
"General, please rest assured." Yang Yan replied solemnly. He had always admired this old man.
Or we shouldn’t call him an old man anymore. As the heroine’s grandfather, his qualifications are not heaven-defying, but he is still at the upper level. Although he was already older when he was practicing, he is now at the level of the third level. His lifespan has increased to two thousand, and he is still considered young if he is less than three hundred years old.
Although the strength shown by the other party was similar to his own, General Xiao felt unusually relieved when he heard his promise, always feeling that his ability was not as simple as it seemed.
But no matter what, it is enough as long as he is on the side of mankind, and he is not willing to delve into the rest.
Two days later, just as Xiao Qiuling remembered, the space crack opened on time, and hundreds of terrifying giant beasts jumped out of it one after another.
General Xiao took command from behind and waited until all the beast kings came out and smelled the breath of flesh and blood leaving the crack for some distance before ordering the artillery team to attack.
Countless spiritual energy bombs were poured towards the fifty-meter-long monsters. Most of the monsters only increased their strength but not their brains. Only a few quickly hid behind their own kind, while the ones in front were still shouting stupidly. Howling wildly, and then being hit head-on by artillery fire.
The tough skin and flesh were torn open, and ink-like liquid flowed out from the huge wounds. The initial wave of attacks almost blinded these big men, but their foundations were not injured. The pain only angered them, and they roared and ran towards the humans. come over.
This distance was enough for humans to fire two waves of ammunition. After the monsters ran close, hundreds of realm-breaking monks picked up their spiritual swords and spears and began to engage in close combat with them.
Xiao Qiuling died at the hands of the claws of alien beasts in both lives, and she hated them the most deeply. During the battle, she rushed to the front first. After the two sides came into contact, she found that the beasts that she once thought were incredibly powerful did not seem to be that powerful. Hard to beat.
A few years ago, when the alien beast king that they had spent countless efforts to eliminate in the previous two lives appeared, she happened to be in retreat, so this was the first time in her life that she had to fight against such a powerful alien.
The fastened skin that once felt indestructible was now easily cut open by her sword infused with spiritual power. The claws wielded by the Alien Beast King were extremely fast, but her figure was not slow either.
Occasionally he was caught accidentally, leaving a deep wound on his arm, but not even a bone was injured. It was not like the previous two lives where it was cut off as easily as a knife cutting through tofu.
Xiao Qiuling truly realized the difference in this life. The more he fought, the more confident he became. He casually wiped a handful of blood from the wound, as if he felt no pain, picked up the spirit sword and rushed towards the monster again.
Next, the battlefield almost became her home field. A dozen of the hundreds of strange beasts died under her sword alone. Of course, the price she paid was also tragic.
After annihilating the Alien Beast King, she had almost no good flesh on her body. Her left arm was even cut off from the elbow to the elbow by sharp claws. There was almost only a bit of skin and flesh connected to it, and the whole person had lost strength. If the people next to her hadn't rescued her quickly, she would have lost her strength. The enemy beast died just before it died.
General Xiao felt relieved and distressed to see her like this. Fortunately, the current level of medical skills and the elixir developed by Dawn Star were enough to restore her to her original state, so he suppressed the sourness in his heart and did not fall into a trap on the spot. tear.
Although Xiao Qiuling's body could not move for the time being, she was in an extremely excited mood. She looked at the young man behind her grandfather with shining eyes, as if to say: It turns out they are not so scary, and no one will have to die this time.
Si Yangyan couldn't bear it any longer. He stepped forward and held her severed hand that had just been reattached. He whispered in her ear: "Yes, it won't happen anymore. We will be fine in this life. I'm sorry." Qiuling, I came back too late..."
"A Yan..." Xiao Qiuling was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing. She hugged his neck with her intact hand and cried bitterly.
***
"It's so touching..." In the empty space, Xiao Yi watched the two of them finally come together after all the hardships, crying so hard that he beat his diaphragm, "Lovers will eventually get married, good people will be rewarded, and there will be a happy ending." It’s such a blessing.”
"Xiao Yi, you have a lot of experience. This will make you look very ignorant." Yang Yan was given a headache by its exaggerated tone and wanted to shut him up right away.
"No matter how many times I've seen it, I'll still be moved by the true love." Xiao Yi heard his disgust and felt a little aggrieved, but he finally suppressed his crying and blew a rainbow fart instead, "But it all depends on Tianzun noticed the loophole when the space rift was about to close and promptly replaced Si Yangyan, otherwise I don't know how long the two of them would have to wait. "
"It's just a coincidence." Yang Yan also didn't expect that the loophole in the boundary wall that he had been searching for for thirty years would actually be found on the space crack, and he wasted so much time in the past.
"But Tianzun, you left in such a hurry, will Si Yangyan be able to pick up the things you left after you pass by?" Xiao Yi said worriedly, "What if another monster more powerful than the Beast King appears in the future, they will not be able to defeat it. what to do?"
"Haven't you discovered it yet?" Yang Yan was somewhat helpless. "This world has already embarked on the path of cultivation. Although I don't know why the demon world is connected to it, even if more powerful demon beasts come in the future, they will continue to improve their strength and always have the ability to deal with them."
"Ah? Demon world? Those are demon beasts?" Xiaoyi was stunned. "Why don't I know?"
"I told you to read more books when you have nothing to do." Yang Yan glanced at it.
"But the book doesn't say these things!" Xiaoyi argued in a low voice, but under the eyes of Tianzun, it could only shut up in the end, but only it knew whether it was complaining in its heart.
"Go to the next world!" Yang Yan was not interested in arguing with a little thing. Finally, he took another look at this world, felt the pull of the soul, and went to the next world with fragments.
Unexpectedly, this time he came to the new world in person. When he came to his senses, he was standing on a bustling modern street. People were coming and going around him, but no one cast his eyes on him.
Yang Yan was feeling a little surprised, when suddenly he felt a pulling force behind him. He turned around and met a pair of eyes with some understanding and regret.
In just a moment, he felt that this person actually condensed all the remaining fragments of his soul. He originally thought that he would need to go to more than a dozen worlds to find them, but now he has achieved them all at once.
Happiness came too quickly, and even a calm person like him couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Come back!" Yang Yan waved to the young man, and a shadow that others could not see responded and merged into his soul in an instant, and the body without soul immediately fell to the ground, causing a burst of exclamations from the people around him.
Feeling that there was no unfinished cause and effect in this world, Yang Yan smiled slightly, waved his wide sleeves lightly, stepped on the void and flew away.
