Chapter 355 Self-denial

A scene seemed to suddenly flash back into Lu Cang's mind.

All the people in the world, hand in hand, with joyful smiles on their faces, were walking happily toward a huge rift.

[Deep Earth]

Why deny it?

Why resist?

Why resist?

There is no hatred between you and me...

The voice in my mind still echoes.

when!
Lu Cang's combat skills clashed head-on with Chi Cheng's, and a massive shockwave spread outwards. At this moment, the continent of Ruilun was no longer visible under the sky.

Only two remained, fighting fiercely until the heavens and earth trembled.

During the battle, Chi Cheng displayed unusual anger and distortion, while Lu Cang's eyes remained empty and wooden.

"Lu Cang, I don't regret making this choice." Luluwei's figure appeared directly in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Ansu gazed quietly at the woman who had suddenly appeared in her sea of ​​consciousness, but fell silent.

"Being able to live according to your own wishes is a very happy thing, isn't it?"

After saying that, Luluwei also fell silent.

She looked at the eyes that had split open in the sky above her sea of ​​consciousness.

Those terrifying eyes were Lu Cang's, looking down into the sea of ​​consciousness.

when--

Dangdangdang——

Outside the sea of ​​consciousness, the rhythmic sounds of battle echoed as the Invincible Style clashed with the Invincible Style. Lu Cang's physical strength was constantly increasing, while Chi Cheng's power was also constantly rising.

At the same time, the laws of destruction were faintly permeating the surroundings.

This continuously weakens Lu Cang's recovery ability.

However, Lu Cang's recovery ability was also constantly improving, and for a time, he managed to maintain a delicate balance.

The battle outside lasted for another ten seconds or so.

In those ten seconds, the two exchanged hundreds of blows, with the aftershocks of their combat techniques exploding everywhere in the sky!
The warrior's battle is as fierce as a dragon!

"You haven't been in this world for very long, have you?"

What exactly are you insisting on?

Within her consciousness, the image of the voice changed again, but this time it was no longer Luluwei.

Instead, he is depicted as a slightly overweight, strong man.

Huang Minzhi.

They are my good brothers on Earth.

But he's already dead; he died along with the Earth, which turned into a monster.

"For you, the destruction of the Earth is probably no big deal, right?"

Even if my brother dies.

Even if your friends turn into monsters, your colleagues you spend every day with, and the woman you used to love die.

"It doesn't matter to you, does it?"

"After all, you are now an all-powerful being who has reached the heavens and the earth, and you are not even from the same world as us."

"Lu Cang".

"You must look down on everything on Earth, right? That's why you don't want to go back or become an ordinary person."

These words seemed to transform into sharp knives, rebuking Lu Cang.

Lu Cang vaguely felt his heart cracking.

My heart, which had been calm before, gradually surged with a tide of sorrow.

boom!
The heavy sword cleaved Lu Cang's left shoulder in two!
His entire arm, along with his shoulder, was sliced ​​off...

This injury, which should have healed instantly, has not healed at this moment.

Lu Cang's heart was no longer in the battle outside.

Lu Cang gazed at Huang Minzhi in his mind's eye.

Lu Cang in his sea of ​​consciousness also cracked slightly.

"I……"

This is the enemy's tactic, their trick to attack me. I shouldn't have fallen for it.

Lu Cang kept thinking to himself.

However, Huang Minzhi in front of him revealed a malicious and resentful smile.

"Yes, you are the only one who has ascended to the vast world. Our lives and deaths are of no concern to us."

"In other words, if we die, you will have no weaknesses and no worries."

Lu Cang blocked Chi Cheng's crimson sword strike from the front with one hand using his spear!
Taking that blow resulted in a severed tendon and broken bone in his left arm.

But there was no recovery.

Not only did they not recover, but many of the god-level talents that should have been active seemed to have stopped or gone on strike.

"Your deaths... I cannot interfere with."

"Unable to intervene!?"

Is that all there is to it?

"Aren't you even a little bit sad?!"

"Have you ever cried for our deaths? Have you ever cried for the destruction of your homeland?!"

Lu Cang lowered his gaze and turned to the side: "This...is meaningless, isn't it?"

"Crying and sobbing won't change anything."

Huang Minzhi was stunned, and then his face became even angrier: "What are you talking about!"

"Your family, your parents, the earth—they've all been destroyed!"

How could you be so cold-blooded!

"If you don't care about anything, why pretend to want to save something?"

Don't you think you're contradicting yourself?

boom!
The greatsword was like a rainbow piercing the sun!
It pierced through Lu Cang's chest suddenly, and crimson light mixed with blood spurted out. This attack had already pierced Lu Cang's heart.

puff--

Lu Cang spat out blood.

His eyes remained lifeless.

"I'm conflicted." "Yuna also said I'm conflicted."

"Yes... I do enjoy my current power. I can fly to the sky and land, chase the clouds and the moon, and destroy mountains and rivers at will. My mind is clear and agile, and all truths are in my grasp."

"What exactly is it that you don't enjoy?"

"Does this make me hypocritical?"

“I enjoy this power, I have never denied it... I am also very sad about your deaths, but does sadness necessarily mean crying?”

"Without power, you can't do many things. That's just how the world is. I want to gain more power. Is that my fault?"

"Is it wrong for me to want to become strong?"

Luluwei: "Yes, it's extremely contradictory."

"If you want power, why not accept purity?"

"If you want to pursue strength, shouldn't you give up those things that are ultimately meaningless?"

"like me."

"For example, this burden." Luluwei's image in her mind flashed again.

She transformed into the appearance of Leng Qingying.

Leng Qingying in her mind spoke up: "Lulu and Wei have been corrupted. You don't even know what to do... You're unwilling to kill her decisively, nor are you willing to let her live a normal life."

“Lu Cang, no one else around you is as awkward as you.”

The people around me...

In a flash, I thought of Kumironi, Akari, and Obades.

They will absolutely not give up on saving Luluwei.

Even Leng Qingying would never give up.

If it were Izzy, perhaps after realizing there was absolutely no way to save Luluvi, she would simply give Luluvi a quick death.

Am I really indecisive?
"Yes, you are better than most people, so you want everything. You always want more and are unwilling to give up anything."

"But do you really think you can have a good ending like this?"

"Don't forget, the highest-ranking leaf you obtained was actually bestowed upon you by someone else..."

Doubt about the world, doubt about oneself, and doubt about others.

A thick vortex gradually surged within Lu Cang's sea of ​​consciousness.

Whirlpools collided with each other, merged, and then devoured one another.

Lu Cang's sea of ​​consciousness was shrinking continuously.

His entire sea of ​​consciousness was constantly crumbling, but Lu Cang stared at the person in front of him, seemingly unaware of the collapse that was happening to his own sea of ​​consciousness.

Leng Qingying's figure gradually disappeared.

The person who appeared before me had changed once again.

But this time it wasn't Huang Minzhi, nor Luluwei, but herself.

That 28-year-old version of myself, gradually entering middle age.

He walked up and patted Lu Cang on the shoulder.

"Wake up."

"This is just a dream, you should wake up..."

"If you don't wake up soon, you'll miss your flight."

"You just want to become the strongest in a certain world, so why are you so fixated on that world?"

"If this were on Earth, wouldn't many people be willing to enter a completely blissful virtual world and enjoy a complete life?"

"Not to mention, our world is not virtual."

He squatted down in front of himself, who was gradually entering middle age, looking at himself at eye level with a puzzled expression.

"Why am I resisting going deep into the earth?"

"Do you really have no attachment to Earth, and want to escape that place so badly?"

call--

In the dead of night, Chi Cheng held Lu Cang by the neck with one hand, and there was a huge hole in Lu Cang's chest.

He grabbed Lu Cang with a look of anger.

Lu Cang has stopped fighting back.

Chi Cheng could sense that he only needed one strike to finish off Lu Cang.

There's no need to hesitate about this.

Akari raised his sword again.

They were preparing to deliver the final blow to Lu Cang.

But suddenly a hand landed on his shoulder.

Chi Cheng suddenly turned his head.

“Iz…”

Iz spoke up: "He didn't fight at all."

Iz looked at Lu Cang, who was being carried by Chi Cheng.

Chi Cheng's voice was hoarse, but it contained anger: "So what if there was no fight? Are you going to let him go?"

Iz shook her head and then said, "His magic has too many similarities to mine... Perhaps there really is some connection between us."

"If that's the case, then perhaps I also bear some responsibility for what happened today."

Chi Cheng: "What's wrong or not? Regardless of where his power comes from, it's definitely wrong of him to do such a thing."

Izzy: "Hmm... I know, but his confusion is a bit hard for me to bear."

"Akagi, give me a little time."

Iz reached out and touched the top of Lu Cang's head.

……

Knowledge within the sea.

Lu Cang stared at the crack that had appeared before him.

This wasn't the first time Lu Cang had seen this crack, but now he understood it very clearly.

As long as you can get through this crack.

You will be able to reach a happy world where you have not lost anything and will never lose anything again.

Lu Cang now senses it.

If I can get through this rift, I can keep everything I own.

In that world called "Earth," one can act as one pleases, with absolute power.

Yeah... so what's wrong with it?
Why do we assume from the outset that this must be some kind of malicious intent?
Lu Cang walked towards the crevice.

Just then, a figure placed a hand on his shoulder.
