Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 346 You'd better die!

Bai Yang had to admit that the inner demon's words actually made sense.

But as time went on, the seductive words of the inner demons kept coming.

He did not refute the other party's statement, but Bai Yang's size did not shrink any further.

On the contrary, Bai Yang's spiritual body's eyes became more and more determined and brighter.

Stimulated by his inner demons, he finally understood some things and became more determined in some of his ideas.

The inner demon gradually realized something was wrong and stopped repeating the same lines over and over.

Seeing that his inner demons had run out of words, Bai Yang finally retaliated.

His eyes were filled with reminiscence as he spoke slowly and deliberately.

You're absolutely right.

At first, I did have that thought.

Our memories are consistent, so when did I change my mind?

Without waiting for the inner demon to answer, Bai Yang continued speaking to himself.

"I remember it very clearly, two years."

Two years after I came into this world, I changed my mind.

I've fallen in love with this place; this is the world I've always dreamed of.

"Inner demon, do you still remember our Earth from our past life?"

Black White Sun seemed to have guessed what the main body was about to say, and remained silent with a grim expression.

"Our original Earth had no extraordinary powers whatsoever."

Next to the high school we attended was a hospital.

I go to and from school alone every day, and whenever I want, I always see some people lingering at the hospital entrance.

Their expressions ranged from numb to sorrowful, and sometimes even included hysterical wailing.

At that time, I didn't understand what a terminal illness really meant.

They couldn't understand why, even after exhausting their wealth and becoming destitute, they still had to face the pain of true despair.

If each of their family members could cure their loved ones, they would give up everything else.

But nobody gives them that opportunity.

Our Chinese teacher back then told us to pay attention to observing and discovering things in life, because we might be able to use them in our college entrance exam essays.

Isn't that ridiculous?

Bai Yang suddenly let out a sneer, unsure whether he was mocking his past self or that teacher.

"After entering university, everyone was reading novels."

I also love watching it; I think it's a wonderful thing to wander through one magnificent world after another.

As he spoke, Bai Yang's voice gradually rose in pitch, and his physique grew larger and stronger without him even realizing it.

"Myths and legends from ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, all depict a world where everyone can live forever, but they all come at an incredible cost."

At that time, I was thinking that I didn't expect everyone to live forever.

Isn't it a wonderful thing for everyone to live out their lives without illness or pain?

Online novels have such rich imaginations, so why are there still not many works with this style?

Some worlds eventually become such paradises thanks to the protagonist's efforts, but this is often only achieved near the end.

Why is the author so timid in this regard?

But Tomato's novels are different; in his various worlds, mortals can always easily achieve immortality.

The world he created felt the warmest to me, and the ordinary people there were the happiest.

In the world of "Swallowed Star," immortality is not necessarily possible for everyone.

Do you remember the excitement we felt when we first came into this world?

It is not just a dream to enable everyone on Earth to become a martial artist and live a life free from illness and pain!

And now, I've already done it!

Upon hearing this, Bai Yang's body swelled up dramatically, instantly becoming as large as the inner demon.

Black Sun knew things were going badly, but he couldn't think of any way to stop it from happening.

Because this matter is absolutely true, and it has long been a fait accompli.

Bai Yang looked calmly at the inner demon and continued:

"In my second year here, I learned through a [realistic simulation] that I had a hidden illness."

In private, I secretly visited countless hospitals without telling my cousin and uncle.

But the doctors couldn't find the genetic disease and instead thought I was just being too stressed.

I refused to give up, and shamelessly asked them to check it again.

Then I saw countless family members vying with me for the chance to have the investigation repeated!

Bai Yang's eyes reddened slightly, and his voice grew increasingly deep:

"Seeing them made me realize that even here..."

In the post-Nirvana era, Earth possesses extremely advanced technology and medical skills, yet there are still many things beyond our control.

I tried to figure it out myself, so I consulted many medical books.

Then I saw Hong's contributions.

The inner demon finally spoke:

"That's nothing. If it were us, we would also disclose these alien technologies."

Bai Yang nodded in agreement:

Yes, we will definitely be willing to go public with "The Later Us".

Back then, you were my inner demon. Would you have taken the initiative to make it public?

Are we risking letting all the world's powers know that we possess a vast amount of alien technology?

Black and White remained silent; lying to each other was an ironclad rule of the game.

The inner demon is not like that at all; why would it actively seek trouble for itself?

"Hong was a former assassin; killing was his instinct."

His style is to treat human life as worthless.

You're absolutely right. Once Hong knows the details, he'd most likely be willing to die for the sake of Earth. He definitely wouldn't blame me.

But what did you just ask?

Why didn't you kill Hong?

My answer is: Bullshit! Go to hell!

After Bai Yang finished speaking, his entire body swelled up again!

For some reason, a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand; it was Duan Mingfeng!

With a single move, "The Body Is a Sword," he stabbed towards his inner demon!

The inner demon also produced a black longsword and slashed at the main body's sword attack.

The two were almost of one mind, and their methods, moves, and weapons were exactly the same.

The betting odds seemed to agree with this method of determining the winner, which came down to who had the stronger will.

This battle was unprecedented for Bai Yang; his inner demons were many times more troublesome than the enemies on the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

Their levels of understanding of the laws were the same; the other could even be considered a powerhouse approaching the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge.

Soon, the sixth move of the Divine Weapon Sword Technique could no longer keep up with the pace of the two.

The seventh technique, "Pure Land," and the eighth technique, "Land of Light," became their main methods.

A white ball of light and a black ball of light clashed and tore at each other, making it impossible for anyone to understand that this was actually a sword technique.

In the past, Bai Yang's enemies always had a significant advantage over him due to his numerous trump cards.

Therefore, when the strong bully the weak, the battles end very quickly.

But now both sides are almost identical, with no weaknesses or shortcomings.

Bai Yang finally began to elevate his swordsmanship to an unbelievable level.

The Eighth Form of the Divine Weapon [Land of Light] is a sword technique that can extremely enhance the power of a domain.

It is also a sword technique used to pave the way for the most commonly used method of immortality: the [Law Domain].

To be able to fully master it is to reach the level of the twelfth floor of the Sky Bridge!

In this spiritual space, time has no meaning.
