this infinite world

Chapter 1271 Return to Origin
"Drown in fear, coward."

Watching Adam turn and leave with a swollen right face, Zhang Heng from the Zhongzhou team couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

Zhang Heng naturally remembered everything in The Legend of Sword and Fairy clearly, including how to use the Samsara Smoke and Dust to face himself, and how to shoot the Nine-Arrow Explosive Arrow, or the "Nine Arrows Shooting the Sun"... Even for some vague parts, Chu Xuan basically told him everything afterwards, including the last arrow and who it hit.

Did the two have any intersection? Yes, but not much, to the extent that they had never even met each other... So when Zhang Heng heard Adam's evaluation of him, he was still quite surprised.

Zhang Heng naturally understood that although Adam was an enemy of the Zhongzhou team before, after being resurrected by Chu Xuan, he was undoubtedly fighting for himself, the Zhongzhou team, and even the entire Samsara team and the main god space. In fact, even if he could no longer accept the current situation, Adam did not really do anything after all. He just spit at the "positive Zhang Heng" and did not do anything beyond that...

——Then why should I punch Adam for the insult suffered by "Zhang Heng" who has the same appearance as me?

Thinking of this, Zhang Heng unconsciously looked at the person in front who still maintained the previous posture. He saw that even though this young man was spat on, he still did not react much. The emotion in his eyes was nothing but fear. He wanted to bury his head in his knees, as if he was scared silly...

But when he saw the actions of the person in front, Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, because he suddenly felt a familiar feeling from deep in his heart, as if he had experienced something similar a long time ago...

“…Yes.”

How clear is the memory of the fourth level? After just a little thought, Zhang Heng recalled that it was the nightmare-like memory that he and Ming Yanwei had encountered before entering the main god space.

——What was I thinking at that time when I was facing a few hooligans who were obviously coming towards Ming Yanwei with obscene smiles on their faces, and I was trembling all over because of my hemophobia?
——And how did I overcome my childhood hemophobia for the first time at that time, and even let Ming Yanwei escape first? When I knew that there would be no good ending, I took the initiative to fight with the gangsters like a red-eyed hound?
——Why...why didn't I run away at that time? Zhang Heng, what were you thinking at that time?
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Heng put his thoughts into his mind. He had also heard Zheng Zha talk about what he did in the original world line, and Ming Yanwei's miserable end. Every time he thought of this, Zhang Heng was very glad that he did not run away, but made a decision that a real man would make. Because once he ran away, whether it was Zhang Heng himself or the person he loved most, everyone's future would be torn apart by his own hands...

"Chu Xuan, what is my mission in the upcoming final battle?"

"No, you don't need to join the battle this time."

Before the final battle, when the uneasy Zhang Heng faced Chu Xuan who had specifically talked to him and explained the corresponding tasks, the other party's words were beyond Zhang Heng's expectations: "In the final battle, I will use you as the 'anchor point' and use the corresponding techniques to pull the 'positive person' into our world."

"And after that, I will leave his care to you."

"……I?"

Zhang Heng was stunned when he heard Chu Xuan's words, which didn't seem to be a joke. He pointed at himself in disbelief: "Why me? Shouldn't such an important task be undertaken by someone else——"

"No, no one else can do it, whether it's Zheng Zha, Yang Yun, or me."

Facing Zhang Heng's subconscious denial, Chu Xuan shook his head and said something that he couldn't understand: "Because compared to us, you are the first one to change your 'origin'; and only you can make him understand his identity——"

——Yes... I guess I remembered the me who used to be unable to do anything.

Looking at the face of Zhang Heng, the one in front of him, which was exactly the same as his own, but full of confusion and fear, Zhang Heng of the Zhongzhou team could not help but understand something. He understood why he was the only "most suitable person".

Because even if the character was created by the "positive one" and was his reflection and projection in the main god space, he could still change certain things by his own will, and even go against the will of the "author" - the moment he understood this, Zhang Heng let out a long breath.

——It’s time.

"I'm leaving." Zhang Heng suddenly spoke in a low voice, "My teammates are still fighting. I can't stay alone in a safe place and be a bystander who does nothing."

"..."

There was no answer, but Zhang Heng knew that even if his other self blocked his ears, he could still hear clearly what he wanted to hear. So he continued, "Just like Adam, when I really saw you, I also felt unbelievable. I even wanted to pounce on you and beat you up like him."

"..."

"But, there is no need for that." Zhang Heng shook his head: "Your future is always in your own hands; and your future can only be created by yourself."

Zhang Heng’s battlefield should not be here, but fighting side by side with his teammates who share life and death with him; just like the person who can enable "Zhang Heng" as a positive person to truly exert the "power of the author" will never be "another Zhang Heng".

...Because, the only one who can save yourself is yourself.

Zhang Heng did not say this, but he knew that "Zhang Heng" could understand. He just said slowly: "I heard this sentence a long time ago."

"Would you rather be a coward for the rest of your life, or be a hero for once? Even if it's only for five seconds."

After saying this, Zhang Heng stopped talking. He closed his eyes and began to immerse himself in his past memories. He began to recall the state when he shot the "Nine Arrows Shooting the Sun" at the Tomb of the Gods. But this time, he didn't just want to shoot that earth-shattering arrow, but to truly transform into that state and fight side by side with his teammates!

As if in response to Zhang Heng's determination, at this moment, an exchange that did not exist in the Lord God's place before began to slowly emerge in the exchange list, and then spontaneously appeared without anyone exchanging it, turning into smoke and dust that enveloped Zhang Heng's entire body. In the smoke, a muscular man with bulging muscles, a leopard belly and a wolf waist, who seemed to have endless power, slowly emerged. What was unnerving was that this man still had Zhang Heng's baby face, which was extremely inconsistent with his body...

But the baby-faced sturdy man didn't care about those things. He just opened his eyes, and a divine light flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his right hand, and Houyi's Sun-Shooting Bow appeared in his hand.

He could draw a bow like a full moon, and in the next moment, nine arrows shot out like meteors chasing the moon, directly exploding the true spirits of the nine immortals in the void...

"Friends... here I come!"

Zhang Heng of the Zhongzhou team returns to his roots...

Join the war!
