This endless world

"...Why do you know that name?"

Yang Yun's call, as expected, startled the young man in the square.

However, unlike what he expected, the young man did not show any surprise or surprise in the face of this sudden call. He just turned around slowly and looked at the people of the Zhongzhou team in the square with a blank look.

At this moment, Yang Yun clearly saw countless complex runes flashing in the depths of the young man's eyes, but the light of these runes was eventually drowned by the thick confusion... and when he opened his mouth to respond, he revealed only a mechanical monotonous sound.

At this moment, Yang Yun understood one thing, the man in front of him was not asking questions, nor was he responding to his call. Pei Jiao's aura should be "inclusive", that kind of atmosphere of embracing all rivers and being tolerant cannot be faked.

Whether it is an enemy or a friend, at least there is a vivid human nature, emotional fluctuations, and a display of personality. But the current "Pei Jiao" has no trace of human touch. He gives people a cold and distant feeling, as if he is separated from the world by an invisible membrane. He lacks the warmth and fluctuations unique to life, no emotional expression, no subtle changes in expression, just like a precisely designed machine, every action and response has been calculated and set...

Even that reply is extremely dull, just like a computer gives an answer according to the established logic after receiving a command, completely lacking the thinking process, more like a conditioned reflex, without any depth and emotional involvement. At best, it can only be regarded as a simple reply program, just like a computer will automatically jump out the result of 2 after entering 1+1...

...So, is a lifeless existence really still the so-called "Pei Jiao"?

——The answer is "yes".

He is Pei Jiao.

It's strange that when Yang Yun saw the man's face for the first time, he couldn't help but call out this name. It was not Odin, the great scientist of the Three-Eyed Clan, nor was it Fuxi, the emperor of the human race, nor was it the man who completely merged with Fuxi at the end of The Beginning of Death and could be called Pei Xi or Fu Jiao, but it was Pei Jiao, the protagonist of The Beginning of Death!

The protagonist of The Beginning of Death, the reincarnation of the emperor Fuxi, the peerless hero who stood up and turned the tide when mankind was facing a desperate situation... A man named "supporting role", who ranked after the real protagonist of the Fifth Epoch, Gong Yeyu, and the protagonist of the negative universe, Yang Dingtian, but did the protagonist's work and acted like a protagonist!

"What's wrong, Yang Yun, do you know him?"

When Yang Yun's unexpected call broke the calm air, Zheng Zha, who was confused on the other side, immediately cast a puzzled look. But facing this sudden situation, Zheng Zha did not ask too many questions, but directly asked the most critical question: "Is it an enemy or a friend?"

"In the conventional sense, it should be a friend, but..."

After that shout, Yang Yun quickly realized his loss of composure and hurriedly calmed down the emotion that suddenly became excited for some unknown reason. It stands to reason that with Yang Yun's current cultivation and state of mind, even if the person in front of him is a familiar person, he should not show such a surprised attitude, even if that person is Pei Jiao...

However, for some reason, when he saw the young man's face for the first time, Yang Yun firmly determined that the other party was "Pei Jiao". This conviction seemed to be deeply rooted, as if there was no second possibility at all, which made him feel quite confused.

Is it derived from the memory in the novel? Or is it an intuition triggered by something deeper and difficult to explain? Yang Yun himself couldn't find the source of this feeling. It seemed to transcend logical and rational analysis. It was a kind of cognition from the depths of his heart, just like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. It should be like this...

"This man named 'Pei Jiao' looks like he is guarding the building behind."

Yang Yun's sudden silence, coupled with the static posture of the person in front of him who seemed to be waiting for an answer, immediately made the atmosphere fall into a subtle tension. Zheng Zha, who had an extremely keen sense of smell, almost instantly felt the possible danger hidden behind this tense atmosphere.

"By the way, is this also a part of the memory illusion?" Zheng Zha asked again through the mental connection while keeping a posture ready to take action at any time, with a subtle sense of urgency: "His power, no matter how you look at it, seems to be real..."

"It's not just a memory illusion."

This time, Chu Xuan answered Zheng Zha's question. The wise man of the Zhongzhou team stared straight at the eyes of "Pei Jiao" that were lifeless and emotionless: "His current form of existence is just a shell formed by the light of the soul, similar to a higher-end application of the light of the soul, a very advanced way of using it... but what the "essence" inside is is still unknown."

Light of the soul?

The only one who can feel and understand the light of the soul is the light of the soul, which is born from the original consciousness of human beings, although there is a difference in strength.

Listening to Chu Xuan's explanation, Zheng Zha first closed his eyes in disbelief and released his own light of the soul. But when the light of "Tianxing Longxiong" spread, Zheng Zha's expression instantly became solemn: "Wait, this is..."

In Zheng Zha's experience, the man in front of him can be described as unfathomable. Although he looked harmless and just stood there, waiting for everyone's answer, in Zheng Zha's touch, the other party was like the high and boundless sky, like the untouchable sky, like the eternal earth, like the mountain standing here...

...Is such an existence just the so-called "shell"?

"...Yes."

Blinking his eyes, Yang Yun recovered from the strange feeling before, and also released his own spiritual light. As the shadow of Jianmu appeared behind him, Yang Yun also instantly realized the meaning of Chu Xuan's words.

Although the "Pei Jiao" in front of him was extremely powerful, he did not give him the experience of Emperor Fuxi in the Legend of Sword and Fairy. It was more like an unconscious spread... If you really want to say it, it is probably a trace of aftertaste transmitted here by following the causal relationship between the body and the memory. Even the Xuanhuang Mountain, which seems to be too huge, is actually just a projection of a more distant mountain.

——But why...

Why is it "Pei Jiao" who appears here? (End of this chapter)
