The Eternal World

The desolation of the netherworld did not dissipate, the bridge of the Gu Sen Nai He bridge was on the verge of breaking, the clouds sorrowfully looked forward to the clear wish, the thousand years of flowers blooming on the other side …

Zhang Chao's vision became hazy.

In a daze, he felt as if he had arrived on a high platform.

An old woman was cooking a pot of thick soup. The fragrance from the soup wafted up, making people drool.

Behind the old woman, the expressions of the countless dead souls were gloomy. They formed a long line, and every time one of them approached, the old woman would scoop out a bowl of soup from the pot and pass it to the dead soul.

"Grandma Meng's Elixir?" To be able to make spirits forget their previous lives' medicine … " Even though Zhang Chao was in a trance, he still recognized the scene before him. Following after, his consciousness became clearer and clearer.

He suddenly discovered that his body was transparent. His entire body was floating in the sky like a ghost. Although his body could move, the power within his body seemed to have disappeared.

What was going on?

"A thousand years for the Resurrection Lily to open, and three generations for the Bridge of Helplessness. Before Yin and Yang died, the Nether Enlightenment continued looking at us … " The old lady muttered, and then raised her head to look at Zhang Chao in the sky, and revealed a strange smile: "In this world, there are too many things that people are tied up about, and yet there are so many. In such a short span of a few decades, why must you be so stubborn?"

"Grandma Meng?" You can see me? " Zhang Chao's pupils contracted as he asked.

However, the old woman seemed to turn a deaf ear. She slightly shook her head and once again turned her gaze towards the big pot in front of her. She shook the spoon in her hand and stirred the thick soup in the pot.

"Hmm? Can't see me? Or could it be... Was it just a coincidence? " Zhang Chao frowned, his body going downwards, he arrived in front of the old lady.

He waved his hand before the old woman's eyes, but she did not have any reaction.

"Hey!" Zhang Chao became even more doubtful, and raised his hand to grab the old lady's arm, but unexpectedly, it pierced through her wrist.

"What's going on? Am I really transparent? " Zhang Chao inhaled a breath of cold air, then a thought suddenly appeared in his mind: "Could it be … I am not in the same time and space as the scene before me? "

Only this kind of explanation could make sense!

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw a small child not far away. He was being forcefully dragged over by two Messengers with chains tied around his entire body.

This child looked to be only about ten years old. His entire body was bathed in blood, and he did not appear to be a living soul. Instead, he was carrying his own physical body with him!

"This is strange, living people with fleshly bodies …" How could he be bound to such a place? Didn't you violate the laws of the Underworld? " Zhang Chao was extremely curious, but when he saw the child's face in detail, he couldn't help but tremble all over!

That was …

He himself!

He looked exactly the same as Zhang Chao, no, he looked exactly the same as Zhang Chao when he was ten years old!

"How could this be … Then … Is that me? " Zhang Chao staggered a few steps in the air. No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't recall having seen any fragments of the Netherworld!

"Zhang Chao, you're here again!" The old woman couldn't help but laugh when she saw the child being pushed in front of her. Her smile was eerie and terrifying, as if it could see through one's heart.

"Bah!" The child spat and glared at the old woman.

"Hmph, don't know what's good for you!" The old woman let out a cold snort, scooped up half a bowl of soup from the pot and handed it to the child. She said sinisterly, "This is the fifth time you've come here, so I won't hold back. Drink it and you can enter the cycle of reincarnation today!"

"That's right, this time you have to invest into the animal kingdom. You will be reincarnated as a mouse, and you have to prepare to live in a dark underground cave!" The two Messengers on the side also sneered incessantly.

"Damn it!" Seeing that, Zhang Chao's forehead started to throb, he raised his fist and struck at the Messenger.

However, his hand had naturally pierced through the Messenger's body. He was completely unable to harm the Messenger at all!

"Damn it!" Zhang Chao was indignant in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

"Let go of me, you bastards. I'll tell you all, my grandfather will come to save me!" The child continued to struggle as elemental energy circulated around his body. However, even after struggling for a long time, he was still unable to escape the shackles. A Messenger pinched his chin and forced half a bowl of yellow soup into his mouth.

Zhang Chao was extremely anxious at the side, but he had no other choice. He could only watch as the yellow soup was completely poured into the child's mouth.

"You … "You all..." The child could only say this word for a long time. Then, his eyes widened as he became muddle-headed, as if his consciousness had completely dissipated.

"I hope there won't be any accidents this time. I can successfully throw him into the cycle of reincarnation!" The two Messengers lifted the child up and walked over to a stone arch bridge. They then threw him down into the black river, where he continuously churned around a few times.

But just at that moment, from the center of the child's brows, a ray of light flew out. Its speed was extremely quick as it flew towards the horizon.

"It's coming again, damn it, hurry and catch that light!" When the two Messengers saw the light, they immediately jumped and chased after it.

However, that beam of light was extremely fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only two Messengers who angrily jumped up and cursed at the top of their lungs.

"I heard that this has already happened five times? Even after so many times, these Messengers still remained the same? Aren't you being careless? " Zhang Chao shook his head, he was extremely curious about the situation he was in, and with a move of his, he chased after the light.

How could his speed be compared with those two Messengers?

Even though the light moved forward at an extremely fast speed, he was always hanging on the rear, and his line of sight was locked on to the light's existence.

After chasing for an unknown amount of time, the light suddenly stopped and floated in the air.

As for the sky, it was pitch-black, so dark that it made one's heart race.

Soon after, a giant hand reached down and grabbed the light.

The scene was too quick, so fast that Zhang Chao could not even react before the light was caught, and the hand also disappeared without a trace.

"Damn, lost him at this time?" Zhang Chao was discouraged, but just at that moment, the fragrance of the flower came from all around.

"Hmm?" Only now did he realize that he had unknowingly caught up to the tens of thousands of flowers.

Countless flowers bloomed all around, creating a beautiful atmosphere.

"Resurrection Lily..." His pupils contracted as he looked at the sea of Resurrection Lily s.

Then, he hurriedly turned around and saw the blood-red swing that was erected on the shore of the Sante River!

"It really is here!" Zhang Chao sucked in a cold breath of air and floated towards the blood swing.

However, just as he approached the blood swing, he suddenly heard a burst of weeping not too far away.

He looked over and saw a little girl squatting among the flowers with her arms wrapped around her knees. She was sobbing.

"Big brother …" Big Brother, where did you go? Did they capture you again? "Big brother …" She mumbled something indistinct.

"She is... Stunned... " Zhang Chao was floating in the air. Looking at the little girl, he couldn't help but be moved.

"Stunned and lonely, big brother... Why are you so disobedient? Stunned already told you, don't run around, it's already been five times … " Ye Zichen pursed his lips and looked in the direction of the blood swing, while tears rolled down his face.

"Idiot, what's going on? What exactly happened? " Zhang Chao asked loudly.

Instead, he slowly got up, and walked towards the depths of the Resurrection Lily's sea of flowers. He muttered to himself as he gazed at the petals, "The Resurrection Lily has bloomed for a thousand years, and the flower and Ye Yong are cut off from each other … Perhaps … Waiting for the next thousand years, big brother will come again right … "

"The next thousand years?" Zhang Chao was startled.

But all of a sudden, the space and time around him seemed to have accelerated, causing everything to become distorted.

He could only vaguely see that the Resurrection Lily had gradually withered and withered. After an unknown amount of time had passed, new flowers had sprouted and were ready to bloom.

Finally, the flow of space around them stabilized, and those flowers bloomed once more.

"This... Could it be that a thousand years have passed just like that? " Zhang Chao subconsciously touched his chin. He seemed to have understood that the place he was currently in was within the memories of the Wuchang Fan!

If this was the case, then it was really possible that … Another thousand years had passed!

Just as he was lost in thought, a chain suddenly sounded out from not too far away.

Soon after, a person wearing a white robe forcefully dragged a child through the air with chains tied to him.

"White Impermanence!" Zhang Chao's pupils contracted. How could he not recognize this white robed person?

He had clearly just exchanged blows with her!

As for that child, he was exactly the same as the ten-year-old he had met earlier!

"Again … Again? " Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows and looked helplessly at White Impermanence as he pulled his ten-year old body closer.

"Humph!" White Impermanence snorted coldly, raised her hand and threw the child by the Sante River's side, then turned around and left.

The child, covered in wounds, struggled to get up.

"Big brother, you really are back. I've been waiting for you for a thousand years. Look, the Resurrection Lily has opened again …" Stunned at this time, she ran out from the flowers and ran to the child's side. She grabbed both of the child's hands and said excitedly.

"Ugh …" Who are you? I... Where am I? " The child was at a loss, not knowing what had happened.

"Big brother, I'm just dazed …" "Ah, that's right. You've already drunk Grandma Meng's Elixir, so you don't remember what happened earlier. Don't worry, we'll just be friends again!" He held the child's hand in a daze and walked towards the blood swing. "Let's play together, big brother …"

"Play together?" "En, sure!" The child was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I'm right here, waiting for grandpa to take me home. That guy in white clothes was too evil, he said I was dead and dragged me here, when grandpa arrives, I will let him teach that bad guy a lesson!"

"No, big brother …" You did. "Dead!" Ye Zichen shook his head blankly and spoke seriously …
