chapter 4192 illusion
there was a staircase in the center of the palace. when long chen set foot onto it, the scenery around him instantly changed.
everything inside the palace was gone, replaced by a desolate battlefield. the staircase was still present, but bai shishi and her mother who had stepped onto it with him were gone.
“kill!”
a furious roar rang out in long chen’s ear. after that, he saw a human expert wearing battle armor fly past him.
a devil expert was cleaved in two by a stroke of that person’s blade. however, as soon as the devil expert was slain, that human expert let out a painful shout.
a fist-sized spider clamped its fangs into his neck. the spider bore five-colored spots, and within moments, the unfortunate victim withered into a desiccated corpse.
after eating that human expert, the spider suddenly shot toward a battlefield in the distance. looking in that direction, long chen saw countless lifeforms fighting crazily.
the devil race, blood race, demon race, beast race, giant race, and many other races that long chen had yet to come into contact with were all fighting. and the target of all their attacks was the human race.
long chen knew that this was just an illusion. however, his spot on the staircase was too low for him to see everything clearly, so he hastily climbed up.
as he climbed up, his line of sight was constantly changing. he saw battlefields further away and saw the human race fighting all the different races.
no one was helping the human race. they were always alone against an endless sea of enemies. panic, despair, thunderous roars, and tears consumed them, yet it all amounted to naught. after all, the battlefield knew no mercy, showed no pity, followed no logic, and adhered to no system.
on the battlefield, there was only the most primal, bloody face of cruelty, violence, and malevolence. the ugly desires of the heart were fully unleashed, and the ugliest side of the world was on full display.
the sky was no longer blue. the sun and moon were covered. perhaps even they were unable to watch this ugly scene, and had shut their eyes.
the human race bitterly endured. although the slaughter from the ten thousand races made them weep, they persevered. countless times they teetered on the brink of collapse, yet they still managed to endure.
the human race’s tenacity was shocking. despite knowing that they had no chance, they still didn’t give up and just fought to the death. when they fell, others would pick up their weapons and continue fighting in their place. this unbroken chain of determination persisted as one generation after another took up arms, each refusing to relent.
long chen felt a fierce pain in his eyes, his soul shaken. he also felt a profound sense of unease.
“who is it? why would it appear here?” long chen stared in shock at that huge figure.
buzz.
abruptly, the figure vanished, along with the entire lake. the surroundings shifted once more, and before long chen stood bai shishi and her mother. he had returned to the palace once more.
bai shishi excitedly asked, “long chen, what did you see? i actually saw-”
“silence!”
the expression of bai shishi’s mother suddenly changed, and she barked at her daughter.
“mom...!”
bai shishi was startled. she didn’t recall her mother ever talking so severely to her.
“whatever you saw, only you can know. you cannot tell anyone, or you and whoever you tell will face terrible karma,” warned bai shishi’s mother.
“i understand, mom!” bai shishi responded, her heart quivering at her mother's words. witnessing her daughter's reaction, bai shishi's mother felt that she had been a tad too stern as well, causing her to soften her tone.
“shishi, it’s my fault. i didn’t expect you to see anything on the stairs. that’s why i didn’t warn you beforehand.”
“mom, you didn’t see anything?” asked bai shishi.
bai shishi’s mother shook her head. “it is said only destined people with the ability to change the future will see anything. i didn’t see anything, so this matter ends here, understood? no matter what you saw, don’t mention it ever again.”
bai shishi and long chen nodded. after that, they followed bai shishi’s mother further ahead. when they passed by a gate, they saw that they were in another large palace hall.
this room was also full of bone steles. however, there were only nine of them. even before getting close to them, a powerful resonance drew long chen and bai shishi.
