Re-live your life and start speedrunning

Smoke and dust rolled all over the sky, and limbs fell like rain!

There was a sudden silence all around.

Those who had implanted demons in their bodies retreated in horror. They had thought that they would be immortal after implanting demons in their bodies, but now they could not help but feel terrified!

"They alone can't corrupt me! And they can't pose any threat to me!" The little sword fairy, who was standing on a pile of rotten and charred buds, spoke at the same time.

This sentence was obviously not said to the group of "demon cultivators" in front of him, but to Li Re.

At the end, she grinned again and said, "Also, my arrogance is not because you have accepted the power of the demon species - in the final analysis, no matter whether it is immortals, demons, monsters, ghosts or saints, they are just a kind of power, there is no distinction between high and low."

"So what I despise is not the 'devil'."

"It is you who are controlled by the 'devil'! You are not planting the devil in your body, but being planted by the devil!"

"What is truly invincible is never strength, but a heart that is not lost like his—"

"Now, I will show you what I learned from a person who was truly possessed by a demon: the 'heart of invincibility'!"

Yes.

An invincible person, with an invincible heart.

In this world, only the person she loves deserves such an evaluation!

Only such people,

Only then can the invincible little sword fairy in the world be willing to protect him and serve as his foil!

But she still won't give up!

because...

How boring it would be if an invincible person had no opponent!

...

At this moment, the little swordsman kills one person with one step and slays one demon with one step!

Li Re of course did not intervene when he saw this. Standing on the Yin Yang Road, he thought to himself that he did not have the intention of being invincible. However, looking at the performance of that group of demon cultivators, he suddenly realized why the demons began to invade the northern border from the Central Plains.

It turns out that the first thing to be eroded was not the earth.

But 'people'!

These are the practitioners from the Central Plains who have been bewitched and attracted by the power of the barbarians!

"The cultivators who have been possessed by demons, and the 'barbarian gods' they are talking about...it seems that the Central Plains may really be as I suspected—"

Li Re dropped his hands and thought so.

He looked ahead.

It didn't move itself.

But this 'Yin Yang Road' that runs parallel to the spiritual fire that spreads out in reality seems to have finally reached its end!

Arrived at the 'Center of the Mountain and Sea Realm' at the end, the Central Plains!

Chapter 238: Central Plains, Familiar City and Mirror

Drive away gods and ghosts and enter the Central Plains.

——"Li Shan Hai Jing. Ling Guan Shu"

...

The afternoon sun is scorching, shining through the haze-covered sky, but it is slightly mottled and broken, like a thin and fine layer of dust. The long and desolate land rises and falls among the "dust", and dry and cracked land, withered and cracked tree stumps can be seen everywhere.

However, amid the chilly wind and the howling cold air, there was not a single sign of a human being - no, not even a trace of a human being, there was no sign of any bird or animal.

Sudden.

Accompanied by the sound of 'crackling', the already dry and cracked land suddenly shattered even more violently - dark cracks spread out from the existing cracks like a wandering 'black snake', and the dense connections made it look more like a large net woven in an instant.

Immediately, there was a loud thumping sound, the ground sank suddenly, and smoke and dust billowed up. One pale and cold hand after another stretched out from underneath, bringing up one equally pale and terrifying "dead head" after another. The densely packed ghost shadows were enough to make one's scalp numb and tremble with fear, not daring to move!

Just one second later, another second later, green flames flew up above the heads of countless ghosts and spread into the void. The firelight seemed to open a door, revealing a deep "path", and a figure stepped out from the path with a smile on his face.

Li Re walked out of the 'Yin Yang Road' - and landed steadily on the edge of the 'pit' where the evil spirits were surging. He looked around and thought that this 'Central Plains' was really desolate as expected. This was actually very normal. After all, when encountering a disaster, no matter whether it was a human disaster or a demonic disaster, it was impossible not to affect the environment of the Central Plains itself.

"What to do with them?"

A clear voice sounded at the same time, and the figure of the young girl's guardian spirit emerged from her spirit body and appeared beside Li Re. The girl with fluttering black hair looked sideways at the group of fierce ghosts that emerged from the ground. Her tone was calm and her pretty face did not show much expression, but the words she said were not cold at all: "Do you want to strike first?"

"Why do you want to resort to force? Do you want to 'exorcise' so many ghosts by yourself?" Li Re responded with a somewhat speechless look.

Xinggong Yue tilted her head: "Why not?"

"Of course not. If you have saved them, then there would be no point in me bringing them in!" Li Re raised his hand and tapped the girl's head beside him, and was about to say something else when she blinked and showed a matter-of-fact expression.

Another cold, clear and pleasant voice echoed in their ears: "Do you want them to spread out and serve as your eyes and ears to explore the entire 'Central Plains'?"

"Since we are here, we must make the most of it—" Li Re spread his hands: "And doesn't Master Shuangxue think that this is the most convenient means of investigation?"

"Using ghosts to find living people is much faster than using living people to find living people!" He responded in this way. These words were obviously heard from the Yin Yang Road, and were from the female swordsman who was stationed in the Yin Yang Road.

"Frost?"

Xinggong Yue also tilted her head in response to the voice.

"You should call me Master." The cold voice was without any ups and downs.

"Oh." Xing Gongyue blinked again: "Okay, Master Shuangxue."

The voice paused slightly, and said helplessly: "No need to add frost and snow."

"But you can do whatever you want. Looking at the scene before us - and the situation at Wushan Pass, the Central Plains is probably just as you guessed."

Hearing this, Li Re tilted his head and took another look at the group of evil spirits that were climbing up from the ground one after another.

He grinned.

"Then forget about them—"

"Just go straight to Huanglong!"

Go straight to Huanglong...? Sitting in Yin Yang Road, Master Shuangxue narrowed his eyes and listened to Li Re continue: "They are going to look for someone."

"Let's go find the 'demon'!"

In the final analysis, this catastrophe and killing calamity were all caused by the 'devil' and born from the 'barbarians'!

So the words fell.

The figure of the girl's guardian spirit dissipated again and turned into an invisible spirit.

Layers of green fire also rose from Li Re's body - but this time he did not open the Yin-Yang Road again, nor did he move from the Yin-Yang Road again. He just mobilized the power of the 'demon seed' contained in the 'ghosts and gods' in his body to sense the source of the same power - follow the 'sound'!

With the sound of crackling steps, the flowers under Li Re's feet could still be seen blooming layer by layer in the desolate land...As the wind howled incessantly, the group of evil spirits pulled out of the ground shook their heads and looked in the direction where Li Re left. It seemed that green shadows flashed in the depths of the eyes of each cold and terrifying evil spirit.

"This direction...is indeed the capital of Li Country, Lijing?"

It was during Li Re's progress.

The cold voice of Master Shuangxue echoed in his ears again.

Li Re kept walking but his eyes paused. He looked up at the sky still covered by haze, and then at another magnificent city gate similar to Wushan Pass that was vaguely visible at the end of the road ahead. He grinned, "Isn't this normal?"

"The capital of any dynasty that exists in the worldview of immortals and gods will definitely be built on the so-called 'dragon vein'. Although it seems that these barbarians have directly crossed the northern border and invaded the Central Plains through 'people', they are still 'seeds' after all, seeds that will grow into trees, and they will definitely look for more fertile land!"

Although Master Shuangxue thought this statement made sense, she suddenly had a very strange feeling. She felt that what Li Re described was not the terrifying monster, but ordinary plants - even crops waiting for him to harvest!

At this time.

The desolate and undulating land on all sides still looked extremely desolate as Li Re slowly walked forward, but what he saw was no longer just the withered and dead remains of grass and plants, but also pale and rugged objects standing upright.

Countless bone trees.

The branches, which were not very tall, stretched out to reveal nothing, but the winding and twisted appearance made people feel a chill in their hearts.

Li Re certainly wouldn't feel disappointed.

He just thought it was interesting.

This is the bone forest before us.

The same is true of the architectural scene that emerges behind the towering city gate.

He paused slightly.

'Master Frost and Snow' on the Yin-Yang Road looked outside, and was stunned when he saw the scene that Li Re could see at the moment.

She stared blankly at the square buildings that were rising up.

He turned his head again and looked at the city at one end of this Yin-Yang Road.

Buildings of the same style.

Landscape layout in the same style.

Behind the city gate that should have been the "leaving Beijing", there suddenly appeared a majestic modern city with tall buildings quietly located!

Through the open city gate, you can see an asphalt-paved road stretching straight ahead, stretching as far as the eye can see!

Li Rexin thought that this scene looked very familiar.

This also reminded him of the Yinshan Ghost Town where he was when he entered the second level of the Yinshan Assessment...

We are clearly in a dungeon world with an ancient background.

But scenes of this style always appear.

"A strange city - it seems to be the same as the city inside you, directly covering the original Lijing."

Master Shuangxue said concisely in his body: "So, do you want to go into the city?"

Li Re shrugged, put his hands in his pockets and looked at the tall buildings gathered inside the city gate, as if it was a matter of course: "Since I'm here, of course I have to go into the city to take a look."

Anyway, the group of evil spirits that followed along have already dispersed.

If there really is a trap, he is not afraid of being trapped!

As for the danger of death, he is not afraid of it anymore!

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Re took one step forward and one backward. As he stepped into the city gate, the tall buildings became clearer and clearer. However, despite this clarity, the city did not seem more real.

Instead, it seems even more unreal.

To Master Shuangxue, the city seemed like a simulated scene. She could even sense that as Li Re walked, the entire city was slowly unfolding like a scroll painting. It was clear and yet had a sense of unreality as if it were a painting.

There was still no sign of human presence on the streets of the city, which illustrated the unreality of this city from another perspective - but even so, Li Re did not care too much.

"Although this city is not very lively, it is quite neat and tidy."

"At least no one came to rob me!"

Sighing like this, Li Re walked forward. Buildings stood on the side of the road. Some seemed to pierce the sky with their tops out of sight, while others only had a dozen or twenty floors. No matter what type they were, they all looked very old and dilapidated.

This made Li Re curious.

He looked up at one of the buildings and walked over.

Pushed open the door.

The building was completely dark, but this did not affect his vision at all. Every staircase and door was clearly visible. He walked up the stairs step by step and pushed open a door.

“It’s empty.”

Li Re spread out his hands. There was nothing else in the room except the thick dust on the floor.

但这并不奇怪。

The voice of Master Shuangxue echoed again: "This place seemed a little abnormal from the beginning. The 'monster' doesn't seem to be here."

"The existence of this city is more like a cover." Li Re responded and prepared to turn around and leave the room.

Just now.

His steps suddenly stopped and he reached out to close the door as if he had sensed something!

The door creaked shut, and the already dim light in the room dimmed instantly - and the door he was facing was a mirror that was attached to the door panel!

What was reflected on the mirror was not the scene inside the room——
