The Spirit World

Chapter 568 End of One for All
long long ago……

There is such a legend...

【Well, it’s not really a legend. 】

In the magical land called the Spirit World, a group of extremely terrifying demons were born... They committed all kinds of evil... They messed up everything in the Spirit World beyond all recognition...

[Shouldn't humans be born first? Why were demons born first? ]

They indulge in their own evil interests all day long, either using innocent animals from the spirit world for experiments, or cutting down trees indiscriminately, or using terrible creations to destroy everything that can be destroyed...

[Can this be considered bad taste? Isn't this normal? Why is it bad taste? ]

All creatures in the spirit world are suffering... All living things are living in dire straits, unable to escape...

[I guess it was the legendary hero who defeated the devil and saved them, right? ]

One day, a demon suddenly had an idea. He looked at the charred earth and said, "I've eaten enough, played enough, and killed enough... It's really boring."

He looked at the other demons and said, "How about we play a different game? How about we build a Colosseum?"

[Ah? What's so good about simulating war... War is very cruel... Do you understand war? ]

"Haven't we played that before? It's so boring..." A demon stood up in boredom, grabbed the flying bird and threw it to the ground.

[The Colosseum... What Colosseum? Rome? Do you know Rome? ]

"No, this time is different! We create our own race, a race that has never existed in this world, how about it? Putting them together... it must be fun!" The original demon shouted happily, excited and happy.

"What do you mean?" Another demon put the iron ring in his hand on the ground and twisted it. The iron ring was still spinning rapidly, so he asked.

[This is the third demon. How many demons are there in total? ]

"What he means is that we should create new species ourselves... and then let them duel in the Colosseum!" Another demon seemed to understand what the first demon meant. She also found it interesting and joined in.

[Female? Female demon? There are more female demons? ]

"Right? It's going to be fun! Believe me, fighting with a whole new race is a lot more fun than these old stuff!"

The first demon happily won over the other demons.

"Come on, come on! Let's build it together! It will definitely be a lot of fun when the time comes!"

"what……"

There was one demon who was very reluctant.

[Actually, I still don’t know what this legend is about… You didn’t explain it clearly…]

Although he was reluctant, he had no choice... Under the instigation of other demons, he had to create...

Use their divine power.

The twelve demons created twelve new species, the first of which... They were called the Twelve Gods by the other species that were created later.

The twelve gods were fighting in the demon’s arena, and the demons were enjoying the joy of the fight... but the demons got tired of it... and the gods also lost their value.

[Wait...what are you talking about? ]

【show me……】

"No..."

The book was held up in the sky.

"Hurry, let me see it!" A little girl wanted to grab the little boy's hand, but because she was not tall enough, she could only shake her hand and lean towards the little boy named Gong Xin.

"I'll just tell you!" Gong Xin held the book high and refused to let go no matter how hard the little girl tried to grab his hand.

"You're talking too slowly! I want to see it. Anyway, you picked it up, it's not yours!"

Two little kids wearing the same elementary school uniforms, walking together, going back to the same place, even though they were not siblings.

"That won't do. I found it, so I have to return it to someone else! If you want to see it, wait for the person who lost it to come and let him show it to you!" Gong Xin looked at the little girl jumping around in front of him with pride, feeling both proud of his success and hesitant and conflicted.

"Then why can you see?" The little girl was still jumping around, trying to push Gong Xin's hand down, but she was not as strong as Gong Xin.

She looked at Gong Xin angrily and bit his arm.

"Ah——" Gong Xin screamed in pain and finally put down the thick book, allowing the girl to snatch it away.

"Give it back to me!" Gong Xin was about to snatch the book, but all of a sudden, the little girl came over with a ferocious face. She ran under the big tree next to them, ran into the sidewalk, and looked back at Gong Xin behind her with a proud look, sticking out her tongue and gnashing her teeth, which made Gong Xin take a step forward fiercely.

The two of them chased each other, the honking of cars, the cursing of passers-by, and the afterglow of the setting sun together covered the entire spring evening with heat.

"Give it back to me! I picked it up!" Gong Xin jogged with his eyes wide open. He managed to catch the little girl, but she slipped away from his hands.

Seeing that Gong Xin couldn't catch up with her even though he was a boy, the little girl became even more proud. She hugged the thick book in her arms, turned around and smiled happily. This made Gong Xin even angrier. His feet rubbed on the ground like a cow. He thought he was running fast enough, but he didn't expect that he was delaying time instead. He watched the girl running farther and farther away.

He was even anxious to the point of crying.

"What if the owner comes looking for it? Come back quickly!"

Gong Xin watched the girl running farther and farther away, looking back from time to time. Seeing Gong Xin stop in place, she snorted, showing off the thick book in her hand, and raised it proudly to the sky.

"You've been old for a while. Now it's my turn to watch? I'll read it? How about that?"

The girl didn't even breathe heavily, and there was no trembling when she spoke.

"Okay!" Gong Xin nodded suddenly, panting: "But we have to wait for the owner to come back!"

"Sure!" The girl walked slowly towards Gong Xin, and looked at a small white car that honked fiercely, signaling her to leave quickly.

The driver in the car was cursing and she couldn't hear what he was saying.

They found a place under the shade of a tree and squatted down. This time, the book was placed obediently in the girl's hand. Gong Xin felt a little aggrieved. He looked at the book. He stood behind the girl and read the words on the book. He felt a little dizzy. He looked embarrassed and breathed heavily.

"I'm going to start talking~" The girl looked back at Gong Xin, saw Gong Xin's sad face, smiled triumphantly, and looked at the thick book again.

"Dark sky..."

In the dark sky... frost began to fall, and everything in the spiritual world began to suffer a long and cold winter...

The lack of food increasingly caused the twelve races to collapse, and the fighting among them became larger and more fierce, until they were finally unable to bear the burden of war, and extinction and division followed.

In this cold world, the first demon planted the seeds of mutation in the race he created, and they began to sprout mercilessly. They mutated into... terrible monsters... just like demons...

[Cough cough cough...]

The demons have gone far away and are now living in the sky. They watch as the creatures they created mutate into monsters like themselves in the cold winter. The seeds of mutation are torturing all of their "people".

But they were laughing wildly in the sky, enjoying the terrible, crazy torture...

Four major races...

Four major races?

"Didn't you just say there were twelve races? How come there are only four?" The girl turned back to look at Gong Xin. Gong Xin said nothing, just shook his head and spread his hands, saying he didn't know... "Maybe... you turned the wrong page..." Gong Xin reminded the girl: "I was just looking at the first page..."

He coughed violently twice...

"Cough cough cough..."

He looked at the girl again. The girl frowned and turned back, closed the book, then quickly opened it again, turned to the first page, and looked at the second page...

"Four major races escaped that despairing winter... They are..."

[Cough cough cough...]

The girl looked at Gong Xin again: "No... I didn't get to where you said it was... It seems that what you said is not in it..."

She began to wonder: "Did you remember it wrong?"

“How could I remember it wrong…” Gong Xin watched the girl flipping through a book with her head down. There was some dust on her head, and he didn’t even think about helping her…

"Okay... maybe you remembered it wrongly... I'll look for it..."

The girl ignored Gong Xin and began to flip through the book quickly.

The book flipped open...

Page after page of text made her feel overwhelmed, but she gritted her teeth and turned the pages. This was not a storybook at all. This was a book of words that they could not understand at all...

She didn't know how she understood it... Her head felt weird and she started to feel dizzy...

"What's wrong with you?" Gong Xin coughed slowly and turned his head away to avoid the girl's little head.

"Do you understand? Why... I suddenly can't understand it?" The girl pointed at the words in the book and looked at Gong Xin in shock.

Gong Xin didn't understand what she meant, and answered casually, "I understand."

This made the girl feel a little uncomfortable. She closed the book, put it on her chest, and said, "It's not a fun story... Let's wait here for the owner to come and pick it up..."

Gong Xin looked at her helplessly, and slowly sat down, placing his hand on the corner of the book, wanting to touch it, but unable to, because his head was getting more and more dizzy... his cough was getting worse...

With a snap, he fell to the ground and passed out...

The girl was startled but couldn't wake her friend up. She was scared and walked on the road until a female passerby hurriedly called an ambulance and sent Gong Xin to the hospital. Only then did she stop crying. Her mother was also frightened and cried. She hugged her and cried, thinking something had happened to her. When they arrived at the hospital, she was relieved to hear that Gong Xin was hospitalized. She took her away and hid the thick book in her schoolbag and took it away.

When Gong Xin woke up, seven days had passed...

And that girl seemed to have disappeared...

Later he found out that this neighbor of his didn’t dare to live with such a neighbor because he suddenly fainted. He was not afraid of infection, but was afraid that he would suddenly die and have a great impact on his daughter’s childhood... He quickly moved away...

Gong Xin was lying on the hospital bed, feeling sad and angry. He wondered why his mother didn't give him a healthy body... At least he would be healthy and have friends...

Where they had been sitting, a little white kitten passed by in a hurry, jumping up and down, rolling left and right, as if staring at that place dejectedly. Its eyes, one blue and one yellow, were so charming. It was very beautiful, a beautiful cat.

It left, and a crow that was circling in the sky slowly descended here, paused for a while, and then quickly flew away... No one knew where it would go. Perhaps, it went to another world...

"Your illness will be fine as long as you don't run too vigorously! I told you to go home early and come back early! You didn't listen! It's really killing me! I'm so mad at you!" Mom looked at Gong Xin very angrily, busy peeling an apple in her hands.

They don't usually eat apples...

And Gong Xin has never loved apples...

Because he can't eat apples.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean it..." Gong Xin turned away sadly...

"You know I was scared to death!" The mother slapped Gong Xin's calf hard: "Do you know how expensive the medical bills are? How expensive the hospital bills are? You little bastard! You little bastard!"

Mom started crying...

"Don't cry...Mom..." Gong Xin touched his mother's face sadly, wanting to wipe away her tears with his little hands.

"Stinky boy! Stinky boy! Ugh..."

The mother held back her tears, put the apple on the table, and slowly cut it into many pieces. Gong Xin didn't see clearly and lay down again...

Humph... He looked at a girl in the next bed, and the girl smiled at him.

Revealing sweet dimples...

"Hello~" she said, "Do you have this disease too?"

Gong Xin nodded.

"Wow~ Me too~"

The girl was not sad because of the illness, although Gong Xin was sad...

He looked at his mother's tears and felt even more sad when he got this disease...

"Hmm..." He nodded...

She is so cute...

No?
Much cuter than that neighbor who wanted to avoid him like the plague…

She had a pair of big eyes. In a trance, he felt that his eyes, no, that cute girl's eyes, had moving little purple stars, which made her even cuter...

"Your mother is very sad..."

The girl stopped smiling, looked at him sadly and said: "You shouldn't make her sad~ She is your mother~"

Cough cough cough...

She started to cough, and slowly put her hands on her chest. Lying on the hospital bed, everything about her began to weaken...

Maybe she has always been weak...

Only when she smiles, she is cute... only when she smiles, she looks like she doesn't have such a serious disease...

Torturing her...

"Yeah, I know..." Gong Xin nodded...

"You too, get well soon..."

she says.

"You too~"

he answered.

They are little children, giving each other the most heartfelt blessings in the world.
