Chapter 131 [Kevin] The Approaching Paradise of the Past

Xiling sheathed the holy sword back into its scabbard.

"This idea is truly utter garbage." Xiling said speechlessly, reaching out his hand into the air. Soon, a glowing gem flew rapidly towards him.

That is—the Jewel of Reason.

Sensing the still-unconscious will within, Xiling threw it directly into the Starry Cloak.

"How are you?" Xiling turned to look at the three of them.

Remien shook her head and smiled, "It's like having a nice dream."

"Then I just had a rather farcical dream." The Faded One rolled his eyes speechlessly as he recalled what happened in the world bubble.

"I...I'm not feeling well." Kiana raised her hand, tears still streaming down her face.

Remien smiled and came to her side, gently wiping away her tears. "Did you have a nightmare? It's okay, don't be afraid, we're here."

The Faded One approached Xiling. "Where's Kevin?"

Xiling raised his hand and pointed into the distance. Right where his finger was pointing, there was a strange world bubble, with pitch-black ice and dazzling fire forming a distinct boundary.

"Let's go, lest that guy get beaten to a pulp."

-

The desolate land was repeatedly ravaged by raging flames and absolute freezing.

boom! ! !

The two Kevin figures collided like comets! A pure clash of fists! The terrifying shockwave instantly shattered everything within a radius of tens of kilometers, even causing space itself to tremble violently.

After the attack, Kevin used the momentum to retreat, standing firmly on the black ice, and said calmly, "Your power... is very peculiar. Perhaps this is the reason why your path is different."

"Yes and no, I didn't have that power back then." Kevin gasped for breath and moved his aching arm slightly.

Compared to him, Kevin was completely unharmed. Even in a weakened state, his chimera body was still as strong as a monster.

"You are powerful against the Herrscher, but you are still insignificant against the End." The black ice beneath his feet churned, transforming into countless ice spears radiating coldness, their tips locked onto Kevin.

Faced with Kevin's words, a somewhat embarrassed Kevin chuckled and said, "Perhaps."

[Kevin] calmly watched the figure who was smiling at that moment. The next second, he seemed to realize something and looked up at the sky. At that very moment.

A tear appeared in the sky, and four figures emerged from the ripped expanse.

"Hey, not too late, huh?" Xiling, holding the holy sword, shouted down.

"Stop hitting the beat all the time, you jerk," Kevin said with a laugh as he stood up.

[Kevin] stared at the four figures, then looked at Kevin on the ground. "...Companions...that's fine too."

Saving the world is not something one person can do alone. He knew this clearly. He had countless subordinates, but... he didn't have a single partner to walk alongside him.

He once had it all, but he couldn't hold onto it.

Upon arriving on the ground, Xiling and the others stood with Kevin, facing him directly.

"Shall we continue fighting?" The Holy Sword's edge did not point at [Kevin] Xiling, who stood in front, as if shielding everyone behind him.

[Kevin] shook his head. "Let's stop here."

He has done what he wanted to do. He passed on his past to his former self. He used his power to verify the purity of that will, and he got the answer he wanted—he was satisfied.

As if he had accomplished what he was supposed to do, he calmly strode forward and walked to Xiling, who was standing at the very front.

The two stood facing each other.

Xiling said with a smile.

"My name is Xiling."

[Kevin] nodded. "Kevin."

"Alright, since you're not going to fight anymore, let's hurry up and go outside. Some things are better discussed outside."

In [Kevin's] comment, Xiling raises her hand and "opens" into the air.

As he finished speaking, a door to the real world suddenly opened, and there were even incredulous expressions on the other side, along with Theresa and the others.

"Let's go."

Xiling was the first to emerge from the door, followed by Kevin, who remained expressionless.

The others followed one after another. Kevin stretched his body a little, and despite the pain all over, he started walking out.

Once outside, Kevin ignored the wary stares and said calmly to Xiling, "Come find me when you're done. There are some things I need to discuss with you."

After leaving those words, he started walking in one direction and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

After Kevin left, the Faded One's tense expression relaxed, and he nudged Kevin with his elbow.

"Please don't become like that in the future, okay?" The pressure from the other person was just too strong.

Why would I act like that for no reason? By the way, can you check if this area is swollen? That guy's really something, just like me.

Kevin rubbed his sore spot and sighed. His opponent's fighting skills and control of the battle far surpassed his own; it was as if the fight was a test, otherwise it would have ended long ago.

Xiling walked up to Tesla, took out the Gem of Reason from the Starry Cloak and handed it to him: "Here you go. Welt Yang's consciousness is still sleeping inside. Once he wakes up, he can use his Herrscher abilities to reshape his body."

Seeing him hand over the Herrscher Core so readily, everyone's expressions were subtle—such a precious item, yet he didn't care at all?

Tesla accepted the gem and bowed deeply: "Thank you! If needed in the future, Anti-Entropy will do its utmost to assist you!"

"Thank you very much then," Xiling said without refusing.

"Now that it's all over, we'll be going."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone from Anti-Entropy, Kiana opened a door, and Xiling and the others waved to them before leaving.

Kevin, back in the World Serpent, devoured the Chi You that the Gray Serpent had prepared for him, and his weakened body recovered.

His eyes reflected the information about the four people.

Just then, the gray snake walked in and bowed slightly.

“My Lord, I have already had Raven inform them that with the Herrscher of the Void’s abilities, it will not take them long to reach this place.”

"......very good."

"How is Paradise now?" Kevin looked up from the photo and turned to the gray snake.

"Everything is as before, except..." Gray Snake hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"explain."

"Are you really planning to let those people into the Paradise of the Dead?" Gray Serpent asked, puzzled. Not long after they rescued Lord Jiang, those people contacted Raven and asked to enter the Paradise of the Dead.

His lord agreed without much hesitation, but he felt that something was not quite right.

After all, their original plan to implement their strategy in Sky City was ruined by the other party. Even if they are now in a cooperative relationship, isn't opening up such a core area too hasty?

"...It's alright, go down." Kevin didn't offer any further explanation.

"Yes." After saying this, the gray snakehead did not leave the room, leaving Kevin sitting alone.

Kevin closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Everyone has probably fantasized about changing the past, and he was no exception. But he knew that the past was gone forever, and everything was irreversible. But...

If you met your past self, what would you do?

Kevin's answer was—to let the other person surpass him, because only in this way could he possibly do what he had thought of but could not do.

-

At night, Kevin sat alone on the rooftop, letting the wind blow through him, his gaze sweeping over the city below.

He finally saw himself, but a trace of fear remained in his heart—the fear that he would become like that in the future. He sighed softly.

Suddenly, something warm pressed against his waist, and a deliberately sweet voice sounded from behind: "Kevin, it's me, Mei, don't turn around~"

Without turning his head, Kevin slapped him across the face!

Xiling laughed and leaned back to avoid it: "Hey, I told you not to look back!"

"Go to hell!" Kevin said irritably.

Xiling smiled and walked over to him, also looking at the city, and handed him a scallion pancake—the same warm thing she had just put on Kevin's waist. "What's wrong? What are you spacing out for?"

Kevin took a bite and mumbled, "I'm just... worried that I might end up like him."

"Don't worry about it." Xiling mumbled in response, also eating her biscuit.

“Yeah…why worry so much…” Kevin’s tone was low, his worry still lingering.

Xiling swallowed the biscuit in a few bites and slapped him hard: "With me here, don't even think about it!"

Kevin turned to look at him. Xiling grinned and gave him a thumbs up.

Seeing Xiling's bright smile, Kevin finally smiled and said, "She really is... reliable, Brave One."

"That's not the case!"

Kevin refocused his attention on the city below.

"Why do we go to the Land of Bliss?"

"Didn't you say it yourself? You will bear everything."

"Their ideals, their aspirations, their will, the stories they left behind, and..."

"Things they were unable to complete, things they regret..."

Chapter 132 The Girl's Heart

Kevin arrived at a location based on the coordinates provided by the World Serpent, where someone was already waiting for him.

That person was a raven.

"Please follow me." Raven bowed slightly to Kevin, his attitude extremely respectful.

After all, it was hard for her not to be respectful with that face.

"Then I'll trouble you." Kevin nodded slightly.

The raven straightened up, turned around, and walked in one direction. Soon they passed through countless buildings and arrived at an elevator. As the raven activated the switch, they slowly moved underground.

The raven silently led the way, her pace unwavering, each step seemingly calculated. Despite her apparent composure, her inner thoughts at that moment...

"Should I say something? The pressure is too much!"

As Raven lamented inwardly, Kevin was also filled with curiosity. "I wonder who I'll run into. That Xiling guy actually sent me alone."

The thought of meeting and interacting with the people he would encounter made me inexplicably nervous. I wondered what kind of people they would be.

They might be easy to get along with, or difficult to get along with, and there might even be people they know.

Xiling only gave Kevin a general overview of what he would encounter in the future, without going into detail about everything. Therefore, all he knew about the Paradise of the Past was the title of the Thirteen Heroes.

After walking along the dimly lit corridor for an unknown amount of time, a ray of light finally appeared ahead of him.

A massive facility appeared before Kevin.

"Are you ready? Once you get up there, you can activate the device and head to Paradise." Raven turned to Kevin and said.

Kevin took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Come on."

Kevin strode over to the device the raven had pointed to.

“Let’s begin.” Kevin looked at Raven.

Raven nodded, then manipulated some devices, and soon a white light engulfed Kevin's vision.

"I've come to the paradise of the past."

"Oh, another newcomer has arrived in Paradise." A pink-haired girl sensed that someone different from the others had entered through the entrance to Paradise of the Past.
