I have a volume of human scriptures

Logically speaking, Yu Chen doesn't really care much about life and death.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life again and again to do something he thought was worth doing - not to mention anything else, just say that he risked everything to fight against Taichu. In fact, he was completely capable of keeping himself safe. After creating his new world, as long as he wanted, he could bring all his relatives and friends to the new world at any time, and then even if the world was turned upside down, it would not affect them at all.

But he did not do so. Instead, he chose to confront Taichu and the inner demon Huang Bracelet behind Taichu.

This is enough to prove that he is not that afraid of life and death.

But he forgot one thing: as long as a living being has consciousness, it will change with the passage of time - no matter who it is, whether it is a mortal with a lifespan of no more than a hundred years or the creator of the world.

When he had spent countless thousands of years in peace, when the people around him had accompanied him all the way, when he thought that such days would continue forever...

In this comfortable environment, his mentality also changed.

——He didn't seem to care so much about real death.

In addition to this, there is one biggest problem. When decay and decay come, apart from his own awareness, almost every pore and every strand of flesh and blood in his body is resisting.

This resistance has nothing to do with his thoughts, just like a newborn baby who, even if he can't even speak and is ignorant, will still cry, resist, and beg for help when faced with life-and-death danger.

This is instinctive.

Not to mention, the so-called death and the corruption that Yu Chen was facing before his eyes were two completely different concepts.

——From this moment on, if he does nothing, in the next tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years, he will watch with his own eyes everything he owns slowly decay and wither until nothing is left.

Even existence itself will be completely forgotten.

——This is what Huang Zhuo said. Although he had never actually experienced it, after a long period of research and experimentation, he discovered that this inevitable process of world evolution would eventually completely erase all traces of the Creator, and one of the manifestations of this is that all living beings who knew him would forget his existence.

True death is never being reduced to ashes, but being forgotten.

Suddenly, Yu Chen felt dazed, and recalled the first and last time he saw the real yellow bracelet countless millions of years ago. The other party had tested him once - and at that time, he was full of passion and fearlessness, and made the necessary decision.

At that time he thought that even decay and withering were nothing more than that.

But after countless millions of years, perhaps because his mentality had changed or because he knew it was just a test, he did not feel any fear.

In short, when decay and withering really came, his heart was filled with endless resistance and heaviness.

Just like that, he sat cross-legged at the origin of the new world, motionless, for decades.

Over the past few decades, the yellow-green stain of decay has grown from an almost imperceptible trace to the size of a fingernail, branding it on his wrist and emitting a strong smell of decay.

It was also during this period of time that the instinctive fear and resistance had become so intense that it could not be overstated.

Even in a trance, a vast black mist emerged from Yu Chen's body, forming a huge dark cloud behind him.

——The demon in the heart.

It was like walking the same path as the yellow bracelet again. Almost uncontrollably, fear and resistance gave birth to the inner demon.

The only difference is that the inner demon born in Yu Chen was not his original appearance, but turned into the yellow bracelet he once had.

——Of course, appearance is not important.

The important thing is that Yu Chen is very clear that this thing is himself, it is himself.

"What's wrong? The little guy who once won the bet with me? Are you hesitating and wavering now?" The inner demon laughed strangely, looking down at him.

"Admit it! Not only are you afraid, you're also resisting. You don't want to die, you don't want to be forgotten. The evidence is my birth, which proves everything.

So don't struggle anymore, don't resist anymore, just let me completely solidify my physical form - you know, there is a way to achieve true immortality, although decay and withering cannot be stopped, they can be compensated for.

The creatures in the two worlds, except your relatives and friends, have nothing to do with you at all. Oh no, it cannot be said that. It’s not that there is no relationship between you and them. You are simply the grace of creation to them.

So there is no need to feel any guilt. The fact that they can be born, survive, and experience the joys and sorrows, grudges and hatreds of this world is already your gift.

So even if you want to take their lives, they should hand them over to you. This is just a small reward for them.

In addition, the same is true for countless eras to come. They are born, they exist, they are brilliant and glorious, and they write epic glory in the vast years - even if the final ending is destruction, it is exciting enough, right?

So you don’t need to have any burden. After all, you are their creator and benefactor. Their life and death are just like cutting your hair and nails. It is in accordance with the laws of nature and the cycle of life. There is nothing wrong with that.”

"..."

Just like the devil's lascivious voice, the huge inner demon came to Yu Chen's ears, kept talking to him, and kept trying to persuade him.

——That feeling is like a hungry man being led to a banquet. The temptation is hard to resist.

"Shut up!"

Yu Chen shouted!

"Shut up?" The inner demon continued to laugh, "Is it enough for me to shut up? If this is your request, of course I can do it.

But you have to understand clearly that what I said is actually what you think in your heart. Otherwise, how could anyone be able to interfere with your mind and intelligence?

Accept it, this is the real you - you want to live, you want eternal life, even if it costs everything!

This is... the real you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the face of the inner demon came close to Yu Chen's face. Through those black hole-like eyes, Yu Chen saw... his true desire.

What the inner demon said was right, no matter what he had done before, whether it was incitement or deception.

In fact, they were all transformed from the dark side of his heart.

Otherwise, no one could influence his mind - there was no such creature in the two worlds. Yu Chen took a deep breath, stared at the inner demon in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, he dispersed the dark clouds and black fog in the sky, and they disappeared without a trace.

——He learned the lesson from the yellow bracelet and completely erased it in an instant.

but……

Just a moment later, a vast black mist rose from the pores of his body and transformed into the face of the yellow bracelet again, with a hideous and strange smile!

"What do you think inner demons are? If inner demons can be solved by simply going against one's own conscience and erasing them, then there wouldn't be so many talented people in the world worrying about them."

The inner demon sneered as if it was mocking Yu Chen: "--Give up struggling, you are me and I am you. As long as your fear and resistance to decay and withering still exist, I will never die!
As the master of two worlds, you have immense power and unprecedented status. Everything in the two worlds combined is no match for you.

But you are not truly invincible—you can never defeat yourself, and you can never defeat your own heart and desires, hahahahahahahahaha..."

Along with that rampant smile, the rolling black fog penetrated into Yu Chen's body again, and the endless dark clouds disappeared in an instant, as if they had never existed.

But only Yu Chen knew very well that it still existed, and was constantly growing and becoming stronger by taking advantage of his fear and resistance. In time, it might really be able to compete with him for power!
What's even more terrifying is that Yu Chen can't destroy him, or if he just wants to erase his inner demons, he can do it easily with just a thought.

But as long as his fear and resistance remain, and the instinct that he cannot control remains, the inner demon will be reborn and thrive again and again!
Until one day, it completely engulfs him, or... replaces him!

At the same time, outside where Yu Chen was, there was a vast and endless starry sky, the starlight was vast, and the universe was boundless.

At this moment, the entire universe is still a little desolate and lonely, far from comparable to the prosperity and prosperity of Yu Chen's era.

But... in this wildness and loneliness, there is something that does not exist in Yu Chen's universe.

--reality.

In the starry sky, in an uninhabited meteorite belt, there is a transparent shadow standing in the starry sky.

Next to him, there was a pitch-black ancient book, emitting a vast golden light, floating up and down.

When the pages of the ancient book were opened, endless golden light was seen projecting outwards, transforming into a huge picture scroll in the starry sky ahead, appearing in front of the transparent figure.

Incredibly clear.

——If Yu Chen were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize at a glance, isn't this transparent shadow Yu Xiu? And isn't that dark ancient book the Sutra of Salvation?
But unfortunately, he couldn't see, he couldn't see anything.

Because at this moment, he was in the golden light projection projected by the Sutra of Salvation.

To be precise, it was in the dream created by the golden light.

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, but those who watch are clear.

The real situation was far from as simple as Yu Chen thought.

In the previous dream, Yu Chen, who knew for the first time that he made the decision in the dream, thought that he had woken up at that time, and that he had already been recognized by Huang Bracelet, so that the other party gave up the possession of his body and disappeared into ashes.

But actually, that's not the case.

At that time, he was still in a dream.

Or rather, it is still the same even at this moment!

He was still in the dream created by the yellow bracelet and had never woken up!
——No matter whether it was the expedition outside the domain that he had experienced before, invincible, exterminating the ancient immortals, killing Taichu, destroying the inner demon yellow bracelet... or the countless millions of years after the happy ending, until the final arrival of decay and withering, everything, was also just a dream.

It’s just that Yu Chen was in a dream without realizing it, and took that as real reality.

"You...what do you mean by this...forcing him to make another choice?"

Yu Xiu looked at Yu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in the projection of the golden light and had an inner demon, and felt a little reluctant, so he asked.

"Make another choice?"

The yellow bracelet's voice sounded, but it was negative: "No, no, no, you only need to make the choice once, but... it needs to be a real choice.

In the first dream before, because he knew that it was just a dream, he knew that even if he decayed and died in the dream, nothing unexpected would happen to him in reality.

So at that time he could make any decision and choice - but no matter how perfect, fair and selfless that choice seemed, it was false. It was a choice he made after realizing that it was 'just a dream'.

How does the saying go - who doesn't say nice things? Such a choice and decision has no meaning.

That’s why there is a second dream. In this second dream, he will think that everything is real, he will think that decay and withering are real. Only the choice at this time, only the choice made by him after experiencing a peaceful life for countless millions of years and having changed his mentality, is meaningful. "

Huang Biao spoke slowly and calmly, without any waves or ups and downs.

"How... cruel..." Yu Xiu certainly understood this truth, but still sighed.

"Is it cruel?" Huang Zhuo's voice sounded, asking back: "--Maybe, because I have experienced all of that, so I know more clearly how terrifying and painful it is.

In fact, this has nothing to do with the evil in the mind. When decay and withering come, the instinctive fear and unwillingness will lead to the birth of the inner demon, and... it cannot be erased.

The inner demon will definitely try every possible means to ensure that one of it and the true body survives - at any cost and regardless of any consequences.

So from the very beginning, I didn't think he could win this bet - or rather, as long as he was sane, he would not be able to resist that kind of fear and unwillingness.

Maybe it could be done in a few years, decades, or hundreds of years - but what about thousands of years later, tens of thousands of years later, or hundreds of thousands of years later? No one can keep their original heart under such torture. "

Yu Xiu's eyes widened immediately: "Then according to what you said... Yu Chen will definitely lose?"

"Just keep watching."

Huang Biao sighed and said no more.
