After the counter-sacrifice at the beginning, I became the spokesperson for the girls?

[There is a problem here] This time it is rare that the space brought it up first.

Bai Xingyao lowered her head and said nothing. The sleepiness and fatigue that had retreated came back again. She took a bite of the black bread that cost one copper coin, but couldn't bite it. She increased her strength, leaving a tooth mark.

[I don't know what's going on, but this place seems to be breaking down]

The space tells the most instinctive feeling: [A very rotten, strange touch, like a withered flower about to rot, hidden very deeply, only emerging now]

"..."

Silence meant that Bai Xingyao no longer had the energy to respond. She finally bit into the bread, and the dry and hard taste filled her mouth. It was extremely unpalatable, and even felt like sand.

[How is my physical condition now?] She answered with her mind.

[Very bad]

Her throat was so tight that she couldn't swallow the food in her mouth after she took another bite.

[When can I recover to a state where my abilities are not suppressed?]

【…】

The sound of space seems to be tightening as well: [Not sure, but should rest first]

[Maybe I shouldn't come to my world]

Bai Xingyao's eyes kept closing. She thought that maybe she could have chosen the past, but the space read her obsession and took her to see her world.

Everything will be fine

The space changed the topic: [Is the bread bad? ]

[It tastes better than what the pagans gave]

You will eat better things in the future

The cooing pigeon perched on the wall rolled its blood-red eyes, and in the dim sunlight, it spread its wings and flew high, dropping a few feathers.

【good afternoon】

The space lightly dropped a sentence in my mind: [No one will hurt us again]

The other side of eternity:

Chapter 8: Sea of ​​Souls

This is probably the longest dream ever.

Chaotic things in the dream came one after another, and the pictures kept shuttling back and forth like the shadows of light. She hid in a dark alley for a while, and then shuttled among the crowd that was half a body taller than her. The black rain wet the muddy ground. She reached out to touch the water dripping from the eaves, and her whole hands were wet with the coldness.

But after a while the scene changed again. An old hand touched her cheek, a distant voice said that her eyes were valuable, bread was handed to her, and a blood-red cross mark flashed through her mind.

But in the end, all these images merged into a turbulent ocean, which surged with black tides in a world that never sees the sun, and occupied all the land in the vast world. People in it are like ants, and the undulating waves carry their fragile lives up and down. Countless noises filled every drop of sea water, and along with the never-ending waves, they were constantly transmitted into the soul.

"Save us—"

"No one can escape from here—"

In vain, I tried to reach out, but the despair I was carrying and the clear and calm spirit were torn apart. My soul was split into two halves under this tug. One half seemed to be watching the wailing of all the creatures under the sea. But the other half seemed to be attracted by the despair, split off and about to be swept into the endless waves.

The scenes of memory were replayed at this moment. The broken memories gradually turned into a dim blur. Her rational mind hesitantly realized that something was wrong. She reached out to grab the soul that was about to leave, but accidentally turned over and fell into the endless ocean.

Everything disappears at this moment!

Bai Xingyao opened her eyes abruptly. Before her brain could react to her emotions, the touch of her body showed that she was locked in a small box. Her scalp was numb and she wanted to raise her hands to open the covering on her face, but she felt a tearing pain from the part that was fixed tightly. Through a layer of wood, the wailing of grief outside was constantly crying out something, and the loud sound of nails being hammered into the wooden box made people's entire nerves explode!

"Bam—!"

The girl was threatened with death and slammed her head against the wooden board above her. The fragile dead wood was instantly shattered! When the light came back into her eyes through the cracks, Bai Xingyao sat up quickly and fiercely. The huge iron nail nailed in her abdomen tore her internal organs. Her twisted face turned to the person who nailed the nail with great anger, but she found that he was more emotional than her.

“Ghost…Ghost!!!”

The pale-faced man's face was distorted in an instant after he looked into her eyes. His hammer suddenly flew out of his hand, and his body kept retreating several steps and fell to the ground. An extremely shrill scream came out of his mouth, and the mourning clothes he was wearing were stained black by the soil on the ground as he struggled to crawl backwards. A flesh bud that came out of his eye flew wildly with his violent scream, and large pieces of human flesh were scattered everywhere in his eye sockets. A tentacle rushed out of his open mouth at a high speed, and a tongue covered with tumors grew out of the cracked big mouth at the top. The even louder duet screams overlapped the constant echoes in this space, and even the dark world around him was rippled by waves, like flowing water.

"!!!"

Bai Xingyao was almost unable to recover. She was almost on the verge of collapse and was filled with great fear. The huge iron nails that were nailed in her body were taken out with her bare hands out of fear. Driven by the instinct to survive, she used up all her strength and smashed it hard at that unspeakable person!

Wow————!

The whole world shattered at the moment the nail was smashed! Just like a stubborn glass being smashed by a boulder and leaving spider-web-like cracks, the layers of the world's membranes instantly exploded in the cracks that spread out one after another. The invisible force wrapped up the soul that strayed into it. In the darkness that suddenly descended before his eyes, Bai Xingyao was thrown out with great force!

The body twitched outside, and the spirit that was about to fly away had just rushed into the body when a huge "Ghost! Ahhhhhh!" exploded on the eardrum!

Her eyelids, which seemed to be glued together, opened quickly in great shock, and her screams were all blocked in her throat as Huo Ran covered her mouth with force. Her wide-open eyes and trembling body showed the horror she had experienced. Bai Xingyao's souls were almost scattered in shock.

The screams of ghosts were still ringing in my ears, and the crowd of onlookers on the street in front of me were gradually gathering around the extremely terrified vendor across the street under the blood-red sunset.

【This is the reality! 】

"...!"

The words in the space exploded in her mind. Bai Xingyao suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes trembling wildly and physiological tears burst out. She looked at the ground in front of her and controlled her sobs.

【calm! 】

Space shouted to her anxiously: [That was just a dream! ]

Bai Xingyao, who was extremely devastated, was led back to the scene just now by the key words of the dream - the horrific scene reappeared, and the reality and virtuality were completely confused in her mind. The pain of being nailed in the coffin, the fear of death, and the last hell scene that looked like a monster. Even though the stuffy air around her was so real at this time, everything she had just experienced seemed like an extremely real life, replaying in her mind scene by scene!

Scratch——

The sudden sound of waves in my mind suddenly startled everything that had been smoothed out.

Bai Xingyao was stunned. She suddenly sensed something and trembled as she closed her eyes. The ability to view memory fragments automatically opened up. But this time, this ability did not guide her to look around. Instead, it gently enveloped her again and explored her mind.

What an amazing picture -

The endless black ocean replaced the once dark space. Its never-calming waves and splashing waves were countless human voices.

The extremely terrified voice of the stall owner opposite that kept exploding in the ears seemed to be torn away from reality. It was swept into this endless black water, and the only thing left in the ears was the sound of the waves.

Her body was supported by a small piece of wood. Bai Xingyao held the support underneath unsteadily. Her eyes were still fixed on everything in front of her. Unknown and trembling emotions echoed back and forth in her heart.

The space turned into a small black ball, which floated to her side and made a long-shocking sound.

[It seems like you have awakened a new ability——]

Bai Xingyao turned around and looked at him tremblingly.

[Sea of ​​Souls]

The other side of eternity:

Chapter 9 The First Energy

【look】

The space didn't allow her to dwell on her emotions for too long.

Bai Xingyao looked up. In this vast, gloomy and lightless world, in the sky that was like the white belly of a fish, a ball of black flowing energy was quietly floating in the air.

As if sensing her gaze, this ball of energy floated down gently, gradually approaching in front of Bai Xingyao's eyes, and then like the gentlest breeze, it silently stopped at the tip of her nose, and then nimbly merged into her spiritual body.

"...?"

Bai Xingyao only had time to blink her eyes before a warm feeling spread from her forehead to her whole body. She couldn't help but press her heart, and a very peaceful feeling spread throughout her body, as if someone was gently caressing her tired spirit and slowly soothing her damaged soul.

But after a while, the feeling disappeared. Bai Xingyao couldn't help but look up at the sky again - the sky of Yubaidu was now empty with only dim light. Her cheek was poked by the space ball next to her, and she came back to her senses and paid attention to it.

"It's a very strange feeling..."

She described the space like a confused child looking for an adult to narrate, "I felt that after that mass merged with me, my spirit became much more relaxed."

All the fear and confusion faded away, and not only the spirit, but even the outer body felt a sense of weakness disappearing, as if it was being slightly repaired from the inside out.

[That is the first energy you collected]

Space explained to her:

[The place where your spirit is now is your sea of ​​soul, which awakens after absorbing countless negative dreams around you. After waking up, it forms a large gravitational field in your brain, and then when you lose consciousness, it drags you into other people's dreams.]

The memories of being nailed to death in the coffin and being threatened and hurt came to her mind again. Bai Xingyao curled her fingers and couldn't help but touch her abdomen. The pain of being nailed to death seemed to still exist, and she pursed her lips.

"It's so real..." she said, her voice wavering and trembling, "It's like the real thing."

[Because it is your soul that directly enters the inner world constructed by others]

The feeling of being out of control on the wooden board kept rising and falling with the waves. Bai Xingyao raised her head and once again looked at the sea that was born from her soul. The majestic and shocking feeling surged into her heart.

This cannot be said to be a sea, this should be the whole world.

The gray and gloomy sky continued to spread into the distance, and the desolate and silent light penetrated through the thin gray clouds, completely permeating and covering every corner within sight. The pure black ocean that occupied half of the world was endless, and the wind that came from nowhere violently stirred every side of the ocean. The sea water was surging and undulating, and the dark color looked like staring into the abyss.

"space."

The sound of the waves and the whistling wind beside her ears, Bai Xingyao turned her head gently, with traces of tears still lingering on her face, as if her spirit was in sync with her body outside, showing the same picture.

“I want to know everything about me,” she said. “You said this sea was formed by absorbing the negativity around it… I can’t understand.”

[I don’t know where to start]

The floating space lowered its own height, allowing Bai Xingyao to look directly at herself better.

[When I came here, I only knew that you possessed the power of the Unbounded. Perhaps like many people, because of the compatibility with your abilities, you developed auxiliary secondary abilities.]

The sea breeze blew the girl's hair even more violently. Her blood-red eyes did not waver at all, and she just listened quietly.

[But I don't know - no, I should have vaguely felt it after I successfully entered your mind. You have seen this sea, right? ]

"Correct."

Bai Xingyao slowly recalled the whole process before she was teleported here. When the huge monster attacked her mentally, her soul automatically fought back. At that moment, she saw the vast black sea with endless waves.

[Your soul world is empty. You only had the idea of ​​creating something. This is your subconscious ability that was suppressed. But people will subconsciously ignore what they have. You didn't delve into why your world is so vast and empty, as if something is missing. In fact, this is because there are no people's thoughts around you, so this soul ocean composed of human hearts cannot take shape.]

“I thought the human soul was like this.”

Bai Xingyao chewed over her past. She gently held the black sphere that flew down low. The sea breeze still blew her hair and fluttered the corners of her clothes. "Or maybe it was given by the evil god."

【No】

Space denied her cognition: [God can give power and identity, but the price of transforming the soul is not something we can afford]

Bai Xingyao recalled the warning he had received from the mark on his mind. The black robe cloth on his wrist slid down under the influence of the wind, revealing the same blood-red mark.

"If it were really transformed by such a force, it would be completely unrecognizable, right?"

【more than】

Space seemed to shake its head: [Once someone prayed to the true God for wisdom, and then it exploded]

"Then the ability I gained didn't make me explode." Bai Xingyao hesitated for a moment, "Thanks... Evil God?"

【Candidates’ abilities have a fixed reference share】

The space said uncertainly: [But thank you anyway]

The man and the object stood there in silence for a while, not knowing whether to pray or not, but in the end they decided to talk about the topic together.

"So what I see in front of me now is what I was born with?"

[Yes, your soul is very powerful. In my limited information, I have never seen anyone like you. It's a pity that you haven't undergone orthodox cultivation.]

The waves were getting bigger, and the sound of splashing continued to echo in this pure space. Bai Xingyao quickly took a look at the wood beneath her and thought that the reason she had been able to hold on for so long without capsizing was probably because she was too light.

"I never ate white bread before I was sacrificed."

[The talent selection mechanism in your world is not good]

Space doesn’t know how to explain: [If you could get in touch with the orthodox way of cultivation earlier, you would have discovered this place earlier. A body without any energy is like a dry sponge, which can starve any talent to death.]

"If I can do as you say, then we shouldn't have met."

【No】

Space seems to want to shake its head: [From the moment I found you, no matter in which destiny, we are bound to meet]

"..."

Bai Xingyao paused, a hint of doubt on his face, "Is forced buying and selling popular among you?"

[If we were at another node of destiny, I believe our meeting would be the moment when you reached the pinnacle of your cultivation path]

"You better tell me about this sea."
