Above Destiny

Chapter 546 Within the Infernal Realm
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw the Soul-Destroying Sword that had come to an abrupt halt in front of me, and even a petrified hand covered in cracks.

Like an iron clamp, it gripped the impending doom without wavering.

They grasped the impending doom.

Ji Jue!

Once again, it erected a sheer cliff, blocking Wen Sheng's path.

And those eyes, seemingly smiling yet not smiling, were looking at her.

This moment is just like that moment back then, but it's still not as good as that moment back then.

Wenwen could almost imagine how lively it would be when news of this scene reached the Beishan Group... This time, the group might be doomed for many years.

Why do you always appear when I want to die the most?
But all those complaints and accusations seemed to vanish the moment they saw that smiling face, leaving only a sigh of relief: "You've slept for so long, Ji Jue."

"Yes, I almost didn't wake up. I'm sorry."

Ji Jue wiped the mud and dust off her face. His fingers hissed and quickly decayed and turned to ashes as they were burned by the out-of-control dragon fire.

It was like a statue that had been smashed to pieces.

Minerva's matrix was on the verge of collapse, his soul shattered, his body broke apart, and destructive dragonfire flowed from it, spreading rapidly like blood, burning that familiar face beyond recognition.

So tragic.

No matter how much you wipe it, you can't find the original trace.

The evil's roots are firmly planted and cannot be shaken.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Wen Wen sighed self-deprecatingly, "This is my true self, and I'm afraid I'll disappoint everyone..."

"what?"

Ji Jue fell into an eerie silence, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

When Wen Wen squinted and looked closely, she finally noticed a hint of guilt and embarrassment on that familiar face.

"Well, actually, cough cough."

Ji Jue lowered his head and couldn't help coughing: "I found out a long time ago... well, I've just been too embarrassed to say it."

"what?"

Wen Wen was stunned and couldn't understand.

"After all, you see... once we've managed to administer the drug, we can't just do nothing, can we?"

Ji Jue's eyes still darted around, but he forced a tough stance: "But don't worry, although I haven't missed a single thing I was supposed to do, I haven't done a single thing I shouldn't have done—pfft!"

Before he could finish speaking, everything went black.

Bang!
Wen Wen couldn't hold back any longer and gritted her teeth, using the last of her strength to punch that face so close to hers—you should explain clearly what you should and shouldn't do, one by one!

Completely, uncontrollably!
I wanted to pinch that dog's mouth shut, then punch him a few times from both sides, to get all the emotion I had just felt from feeding the dog out of his mouth.

Then, I heard his voice.

"But don't worry, Sister Wen, I don't find it scary, nor am I disappointed." Ji Jue looked at her solemnly, without any resistance or disgust, his smile unchanged: "On the contrary, you are now incredibly beautiful."

"...Isn't that quite eloquent?"

Wen Wen seemed to smile slightly, then shook her head regretfully: "Just take it as you comforting me."

Ji Jue remained silent.

It was as if a helpless sigh had been uttered.

Then, without thinking, he bent down, and before she could even react, that familiar face was already inches away.

Before she could try to change the subject, he silenced her with a kiss.

It happened so suddenly!

Her eyes blinked violently, wide open, filled with confusion and bewilderment. She instinctively wanted to glare at him, but everything before her was blurry.

As the illusory light spread, everything became indistinct, leaving only a pair of eyes so close to hers. Looking at him, she felt an instinctive panic, and when she tried to dodge, she realized there was nowhere to escape.

She had fallen into a trance, her heart no longer her own.

A shattering sound rang out, right on Ji Jue's body. As the stone color on Wen Wen's body rapidly faded, an even more intense petrification spread across Ji Jue's body!
Without any hesitation, it devoured all the out-of-control dragon fire, once again supporting the soul on the verge of collapse, smoothing over all wounds, and mending all cracks.

Following the principle of the celestial orbit system's wicked extraction, it uses its own authority to reproduce the power of control over the flow of the entire domain, transferring all the evil consequences into its own soul through the exchange between spiritual substances!
Thus, the exchange was completed.

At this moment, the physical body was reduced to ashes in the flames, but the soul reappeared from the ashes, bathed in the cruel fire of the desolate ruins, with the smile still on its face, as if it could not feel any pain.

I admired her bewildered expression.

"Now you can prove I wasn't lying, right?"

The ethereal fingertips rose and brushed across her cheek, causing the charred remains to peel away, the cracks to heal, and the flesh to regenerate.

To restore everything to its original state.

As the flowing light merged in, the illusory soul resided within her body, continuously infusing her with new power. This time, the raging flames of the desolate ruins could no longer harm her in the slightest.

As the flames burned, that youthful face gradually changed, rapidly maturing and returning to its original appearance, and even more...

Deep within the soul, the desolate essence that had been sealed away was once again released!

However, under the suppression and control of double the soul, that violent power showed a new change, flowing smoothly into herself as if it were flowing through the clouds. She no longer needed to expend her consciousness and soul to control it; instead, it flowed docilely, as if it were born that way.

The fragile flesh and blood disappeared in the flames, replaced by scales as dazzling as jewels, wings of crystal that blot out the sky, and even a magnificent body like a mountain!
Countless streams of mercury flowed around it, passing through the gaps between the scales, weaving intricate circuits and structures, constantly suppressing and guiding that near-out-of-control nature, and coating the gem-like dragon of the desolate ruins with a layer of dazzling silver brilliance!

At this moment, iron and stone are together, indistinguishable from one another.

Truly, he transformed into a dragon!

With just a breath, he easily dispersed the defenses that Ji Jue had put up with all his might; with just a flap of his wings, he shrouded the entire Illusionary Dream in the shadow of his wings.

When those six majestic eyes, as bright as stars, looked down, the enemy before them seemed as insignificant as dust!
And Wen Sheng...

Wen Sheng is going crazy!
No, he felt like he had gone mad.

In less than half a minute, it was as if he had watched every horror story in the world. After witnessing all of this firsthand, he even wondered if he had gone too far in his descent into evil, his reason had evaporated, and he had completely fallen into some kind of hallucination and delirium.

Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
Why did that bastard Ji Jue suddenly emerge from the dream of the Yellow Millet Remains? Why did those two suddenly start kissing? And then, why did Wen Wen suddenly resurrect and become this grotesque figure?!
I have absolutely no idea!

It's too bizarre, too sinister, and too... absurd!
It was so absurd that he could no longer control himself.

Outrageous!

"What on earth are you two doing in my dream?!"

In that instant, amidst the frenzied roar, the three faces overlapped once more, and boundless faith poured down upon them.

In the blink of an eye, the foundation of humanity and the divine has been reunited.

But this time, the emptiness of the abyss, the greed of the boundless, and the distortion of filth began to spread rapidly. Almost like drinking poison to quench thirst, they overdraw their potential, undergoing demonic transformation, and forcibly increasing their power!
He allowed his soul to expand endlessly, expand, and expand again, until it reached the limit that the entire dream world could contain. The instant he reached out his hand, countless moths of his own nature fluttered up from the skeletal serpent encircling the entire dream world, gathering into a tide.
The endless darkness descended like a waterfall, falling into his hand and forming a blade that could annihilate all souls. He poured all his strength into slashing down at the monster before him!

Snapped!
A cracking sound rang out, coming from...the blade?
The endless pain and despair that Wen Sheng had accumulated from his own nature actually cracked when the Iron Wings were swung and collided.
The Dragon of the Desolate Ruins raised its eyes, coldly observing everything, and slowly opened its mouth.

It was as if he had taken a deep breath—

Then, crimson breath spewed from the dragon's mouth, surging and filling everything like a tsunami!
But its breath was not fire, but an endless expanse of the light of Pan Ying…

Within the Blissful Realm, everything in sight was covered, ravaged, torn apart, and reduced to dust in crimson. The entire Blissful Realm was rapidly trembling, teetering on the verge of collapse.

It is difficult to withstand such terrifying power.

What's even more shocking is that outside the dream, the giant serpent of bones that was coiled around the sea of ​​souls actually revealed an extremely tiny crack.

It was like being struck by a sword!
The true essence of the desolate ruins, which transcends this transformation, begins to shake the entire illusion, dispel all delusions, annihilate all fantasies, and cause trauma to the entire dream!
Wow! Awesome!

Ji Jue cheered, his soul dancing wildly within the dragon's sea of ​​consciousness: "This is our exhilarating combo skill, Sister Wen!"

“Ji Jue…”

After a long silence, Wen Wen, who had transformed into a giant dragon, whispered, "Thank you."

"Hey, it's nothing!"

Ji Jue waved his hand casually, seemingly not caring at all, but in reality, he squinted his eyes, shook his head, and was extremely smug.

This is right!

I went to great lengths to treat your injuries and keep you in good condition, sacrificing so much, even my innocence. All I wanted was to hear a few words of thanks and gratitude, right?
I love to hear it, I want to hear it, I enjoy listening to it, please say a few more words!

"besides……"

Wenwen paused for a moment and told him, "I'll beat you up after we get out."

She thought for a moment, then added decisively:

"At least two meals!"

"...Okay, okay."

Ji Jue hesitated, starting to consider whether it was unrealistic to try to persuade Sister Wen to be lenient, or to contact Hope Hospital as soon as he got out... If he was too late, he might die!

but it does not matter.

Anyway, as long as I'm not the one who's going to die!
Amidst the blood and fire of Pan Ying, Wen Sheng, who had been burned to ashes, reassembled and resurrected, unharmed. But in the next instant, he was completely destroyed by the sweeping attack of the dragon's wings!

Like a bubble bursting, only to be reborn once more.

Almost impossible to resist.

But that's not the problem at all. Life and death are like a dream, a mere illusion. As long as the dream persists, he can naturally resurrect infinitely, remaining invincible. What truly terrifies him is how Wen Wen and Ji Jue, two defeated opponents, could maintain such a massive monster within the confines of the blockade!
The desolate ruins are inherently incompatible with ascension and transformation, let alone forcibly creating something so exaggerated in a dream, which is like lighting a fire in water.

Where did their spiritual qualities and beliefs come from?
That's right, Ji Jue's authority is [Recreation], but where did he get the divine power to maintain all this?
After restarting, all the other party's influence was erased by me, and the interference of the Shangshan System had dropped to the limit, approaching zero without any restrictions!
But... it got stuck?

It stopped at the threshold of 0.0001%, unable to go any lower, let alone be completely erased!
It wasn't until he turned around blankly and looked down at the ocean where souls gathered that he saw... an indelible, subtle glimmer within the flowing rainbow light!
what is that? !

As observed by Tianmu, the faint light within the Sea of ​​Bitterness kept leaping and flickering, and then... multiplying again!
One point, two points, three points...

In the accelerating flow of time, like a wildfire, it grew again at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it occupied half of the country!

Like a plague, it surged and spread in the sea of ​​suffering that resembled a heavenly kingdom!
In a daze, it felt like I was having a very long dream.

But when I opened my eyes, everything in front of me felt so real.

Under the bright sunshine, children's laughter echoed from the park.

Yu Shu raised his head blankly, looking at the endless blue sky. Under the dancing white clouds, the world was as bright as a beautiful dream.

Everyone on the street wore a joyful smile; in the boundless peace and tranquility, everyone ushered in a happy ending.

So beautiful.

"Was it all a dream?"

As the wind rushed in his face, he gave a self-deprecating laugh and lowered his head: "I still have such unrealistic fantasies?"

Hand in hand, smiling, we walk toward a bright future... There will be no harm to one another, no disease or suffering, and no one will shed tears, because everyone will naturally lend a helping hand.

When everyone contributes even a small amount of compassion and love, the world becomes a paradise.

"If only it were true."

He lowered his head, covered his face, trying to suppress the bitterness and confusion in his heart.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

The young child leaned closer, gazing at his father's sorrowful face with confusion, unable to understand: "Did you accidentally bump into something? Let me rub it for you, okay? The pain will fly away."

"Yes, it flew away."

Yu Shu stroked her cheek, reached out and hugged her, and then couldn't hold back his tears.

Why can't all of this be true?
Why let your fantasies appear before your eyes?
"dad?"

The girl looked up at her father in confusion, feeling hot tears falling one by one onto her cheeks. She reached out and wiped them away again and again.

Until, amidst the tears that had been shed, a sorrowful smile emerged.

"Sweetie, do you love Daddy?"

"Of course."

The girl nodded blankly, without thinking.

And so, that smile grew even more sorrowful as he embraced her, unable to let her go.

"Daddy loves you too, and loves Mommy too, so much... But Daddy has something very important to do, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Yu Shu paused for a moment, then realized his mission: "So, I have no choice but to leave."

Relinquish your dreams and happiness, and say goodbye to everything before you.

He finally let go.

As if fleeing, she staggered to her feet, using all her strength to walk out, step by step, as if she could hear calls and cries coming from behind her.

He didn't dare to look back.

He closed his eyes, roared, and ran forward, step by step.

His daughter's calls, his wife's accusations, and his colleagues' attempts to persuade him to stay and their pursuit.

Those sounds have all disappeared.

In the desolate wilderness, he knelt on the ground, exhausted, and his hands touched something in the mud.

Sharp edges, so hard.

After digging through the loose soil, he saw it again—the box that Mr. Ji had given him, buried deep within the dream!

It has always been here, always by my side.

The constant tremors and struggles, the incessant clanging, repeatedly roused me from my dream, as I struggled and awaited the day of liberation.

All you need to do is unlock the last latch.

click -

In that instant, it was as if a storm was bursting out of the narrow box. Yu Shu was blown to the ground, tumbling, and staring blankly as he raised his head. He could only see an endless torrent rising from the box, rushing into the sky, without end!
Amidst the blazing light that reached the heavens and the earth, it was as if a figure engulfed in black flames was faintly reappearing, gazing at this unfamiliar world, and then, as if, understanding something.

Finally, he nodded to Yu Shu, then turned and left.

Crossing the gaps between illusions, we head towards that endless sea of ​​suffering.

—Chun Jun, liberate!

The situation is deteriorating.

It is deteriorating rapidly, at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Sensing the speed at which Ji Jue regained control, and even the renewed trembling of the Holy Dream, Wen Sheng's face turned ashen, unable to comprehend what had happened.

Just as Wen Sheng could manipulate dreams through divine intervention, Ji Jue also left behind crucial changes, which he then entrusted to others.

Even Yu Shu, the executor, did not understand how crucial something he had kept—what he left behind was the reflection of his own soul, the pure essence forged from his true self.

From the very beginning, he had made crucial preparations and insurance, so that even if everything collapsed, he could rely on Chun Jun, who was hiding in the shadows, to start over.

I never imagined the situation would worsen to this extent...

At this moment, the soul reflection manifested by Chun Jun shuttles through the sea of ​​suffering, once again spreading its influence, shattering illusions, and pulling souls immersed in happiness and beauty back into hell.

Ji Jue's authority began to grow once again, and even began to erode Wen Sheng's foundation.

They pursued relentlessly, leaving no stone unturned, and using every possible means.

All that could be seen was darkness spreading like a surging tide, leaving behind one deep-rooted spot after another in the sea of ​​rainbow light, like mold, haunting and persistent.

With just a "ding," everything that had been turned off was turned back on!
In the blink of an eye, smoke and fire filled the air everywhere.

Beyond the realm of bliss, in the sea of ​​suffering, the Holy God's dominance is once again shaken. He faces a fierce confrontation from the outside world, and within the blockade of the border prison, he suffers repeated setbacks under a combination of attacks.

Until Wen Sheng could no longer tolerate it!
Are you guys the only ones with cheat codes?!
【Snapped! 】

The crisp cracking sound rang out once again.

The phantom of the pocket watch reappeared behind Wen Sheng, and time began to flow backward once again, returning to the starting point. Even the cracks on the giant snake's skeleton disappeared without a trace.

Restore to its original state.

Read the file!

Before Wen Sheng, the dragon's figure visibly became much more illusory and rapidly weakened.

Just as he had expected, without the support of divine power, it was ultimately like water without a source, with its limits, and could no longer pose a threat in the short term.

The most urgent task right now is to get rid of that bastard who's been getting in the way all along, Ji Jue!
But when he tried to use the same trick again to push her into the dream once more, he found that... the remains of the dream were completely unresponsive!

The dream that should have risen again lost control and vanished completely before it could even take shape.

It was as if he were refusing his command.

No response.

In that instant, Wen Sheng finally understood that he had no way out.

It is foreseeable that, with the acceleration of time in the lower realm, Ji Jue's pollution and interference will once again spread and reach its peak.

The save file is stuck.

This is the cause that is difficult to avoid no matter how many times it is repeated.

So, the only remaining choice is the most troublesome and agonizing one—to truly determine the winner in this endless cycle and struggle!
The transformation of a single thought, the shifting of all things, and the annihilation of illusions and the denial of bubbles into desolate ruins.

Only one of you or the other person can leave alive!
Come on then!

Wen Sheng's resolve remained unwavering.

No matter how many times it has to be repeated, he will never give up.

He may never be able to match the solidity of the desolate ruins in his lifetime, but he will never admit defeat to anyone in his pursuit of transformation!
【Snapped! 】

After one fierce battle after another, when Ji Jue's corruption got out of control again, a clear voice rang out from Wen Sheng's soul once more!
The phantom of the pocket watch appeared, and everything reversed again, returning to its origin.

Once again, we're back at the starting line!
"Come again!"

Wen Sheng sneered as they reunited, showing no signs of weakness.

As long as the Holy Spirit and the pocket watch remain, he can lose countless times, but winning just once is enough!

On the contrary, his opponents faced a true hell, an endless torment and suffering!

Then, very soon, he found himself also beginning to suffer.

As we all know, no matter what, once you start going to jail, all your experiences and feelings will depend on the quality of your fellow inmates...

Especially when your cellmate has absolutely no manners!
