this infinite world

Chapter 1198 Who are you?

The colors of the sky are as brilliant as molten gold.

Gazing at the sky, it had grown two inches larger and was not far from falling into the world, like two round fruits foreshadowing a change in fate. Yiqi, who was looking up at the sky, suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction.

And there, Yang Yun, whose figure was becoming increasingly clear, was walking slowly from afar.

"You came."

Yi Qi's voice was emotionless, but carried a hint of understanding, as if he was welcoming an old friend after a long separation, or as if he was confirming an important fact... But Yang Yun did not respond with the same attitude, but stopped at a certain distance from Yi Qi.

His gaze was like a sharp sword of inquiry, sweeping from the top of Yiqi's head to his toes, especially lingering for a long time on the face that looked strikingly similar to his. After a few seconds, he nodded gently and said, "...Well, I'm here."

"who are you?"

——This is the question Yang Yun wants to ask most in the current situation, and it is also his only question.

If the previous encounter was due to the use of a clone and he was unable to feel all of Yi Qi, then after meeting him in person, Yang Yun really felt a sense of a mirror image of time and space dislocation in his heart.

The face, figure, and temperament are almost exactly the same. Even the fluctuations of vitality emanating from the other person actually caused a faint resonance in the "Jianmu" in his body... It was as if there was some kind of connection between the two that transcended common sense, and even came from the same source!
On the contrary, this is also what confuses Yang Yun the most. Because although he can feel the connection between the two on the surface, he always feels a vague sense of disharmony in his heart, as if they are roughly the same, but they are different in subtle aspects.

"You should know exactly who I am."

Facing Yang Yun's question, Yi Qi smiled and chose to answer the question with a question: "Rather than asking me this question, you should ask your own memory and your heart... In this way, you will naturally get the answer."

"...Forget it. If you insist on playing dumb with me, then I'll explain it more clearly."

Yang Yun took a deep breath, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. In the past, he and Chu Xuan always played the role of Riddler to tease Zheng Zha in the Zhongzhou team, but after witnessing a Riddler who was even more outrageous than Chu Xuan today, Yang Yun truly experienced the corresponding feelings firsthand... However, he was not as anxious as Zheng Zha, but asked more directly: "Shennong in the Chinese Paladin world, is that you?"

"That's a good question." Yi Qi pretended to think: "Let me think about it, how should I put it? In the conventional sense, that is indeed me, but it is not me..."

"Yan, you have dealt with the "Shennong" in the Chinese Paladin world, so you should be able to get a feel for who he is. How many similarities do you think there are between the two?"

While watching Yi Qi who was thinking, Yang Yun held the Xuanyu Tianjing Sword, which had been greatly modified by Chu Xuan before the final battle and was finally completely finalized, and communicated corresponding information with Yan in the sword.

After the previous series of battles, Yan's soul still showed some signs of being unable to bear it, despite the nourishment of Jianmu. So Yang Yun sent her to the River of Life under Rongomyniad, leaving her in the care of Shanna and Liuli, and also asked Chu Xuan to upgrade her weapons... After returning to a new home, Yan's condition was much better than before.

"It's hard to say, my Lord. There is a very familiar aura, but also a weird feeling..."

In his inner world, Yan's voice was full of hesitation, like a puff of mist, vaguely revealing a desire for recognition, but also wrapped in thick hesitation. It was a contradictory state of wanting to recognize but not daring to recognize, wanting to say but not daring to say, like a traveler trapped in the fog, who clearly saw the light ahead, but was hesitant to take a step because of the existence of the fog... "...Okay, leave it to me."

Sensing Yan's chaotic emotions, Yang Yun sent out a divine thought containing immortal power to calm Yan's emotions. At the same time, he said in a somewhat unfriendly tone: "Is your current state the same as that of Pei Jiao, Fuxi, and Ren Huang?"

Facing Yi Qi's riddle, Yang Yun chose to speak directly to his heart. He was not worried whether these questions would reveal the corresponding secrets. After all, since the guy in front of him could use the "Heaven-Repairing Finger", it proved that he must be related to Nuwa, one of the Three Sovereigns.

At this moment, Yi Qi seemed to show a brief expression of surprise, but this expression only lasted for a moment, and he returned to his previous mysterious state: "I didn't expect that you would directly skip the key point and grasp the most crucial truth; I also didn't expect that you would be exposed to this level of secrets in such a short time..."

"However, you are wrong. Although my current existence is somewhat similar to his, it is also completely different. After all, my situation is more complicated than his."

Yi Qi, who said this, answered Yang Yun's question with eight words: "I am Shennong, but Shennong is not me."

——The Riddler answered as expected.

This was Yang Yun's first feeling when he heard this sentence. If the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi's "Heavenly Emperor, Human Emperor, Pei Xi, all three are Fuxi, but the three are not each other" is a huge riddle, then Yi Qi's words have the same meaning.

Fortunately, Yi Qi did not keep silent after saying this, leaving Yang Yun to think on his own. Instead, he said with interest: "Since you know this secret, but know nothing about my existence, it must be that you are still in ignorance and your memory is incomplete..."

"It seems that your memory of Nong only goes as far as when he left almost everything he had at the time to Fuxi and Nuwa."

"...!"

Yang Yun was shocked when his thoughts were revealed.

Since recalling the past events of the last era, Yang Yun had actually thought about it many times and tried to find the truth of that history in the depths of the vast sea of ​​agriculture.

However, no matter how hard Yang Yun tried to trace back those memories and connect them together, he could never fully recreate that period of history. Whenever his thoughts approached the critical moment of that era - the birth of the two emperors of the human race, all the clues seemed to be cut off by an invisible force, making it impossible for him to explore further. It was like the most critical chapter of an epic masterpiece was deliberately torn out, leaving only endless suspense and doubts...

It was obvious that Nong's journey would never end here, but how could Yi Qi know this? Could it be that the remaining memories were in his hands?

"It's okay, there's still plenty of time."

Seeing this, Yi Qi actually put on an unguarded attitude, slowly found a seat, and then sat down cross-legged, exuding a peaceful and mysterious aura: "Let me think about where to start... By the way, Yang Yun, let me ask you,"

"Do you know what 'doing subtraction and seeking emptiness' means?"
