"Dodge?"
Huang Quan raised an eyebrow.
How can we escape?
"That's right, hide."
Mei's face revealed... genuine heart palpitations and bewilderment:
"We fought against the Heavenly Dao with all our might, and each pyrrhic victory allowed us to temporarily grasp a sliver of the power of that corrupted fragment of the Heavenly Dao."
"We poured all our remaining power and all the fragments of the Heavenly Dao we collected into a person with a special power—Kiana."
Kiana... special powers?
Huang Quan's heartstrings were suddenly plucked by this name.
"It is the power of confusion."
Sora Mei's voice carried a strange, ethereal quality.
"Countless ordinary people sacrificed themselves, gathering the power of all survivors and converging fourteen fragments of the Heavenly Dao, and Kiana finally cultivated into the Great Master of Bewilderment."
"Then, she sacrificed herself, transforming that immense power of bewilderment, enough to obscure the stars, into a barrier that isolated cognition, enveloping our world on the brink of destruction."
"It was thanks to this layer of illusion that we were able to disappear from the sight of that unspeakable being and barely escape His threat..."
Sora Mei's voice lowered, carrying a hint of genuine sorrow:
"The price was that Kiana's struggle to maintain this power far beyond her limits exhausted her, ultimately causing her to lose all her memories of the past."
"Enveloped in confusion, we have also forgotten many, many things."
Here, this one~
It's called a patch.
If any questions or loopholes arise that you can't answer, you can simply say you're confused or have forgotten how to answer them.
The self-cultivation of an old fool.
After Sora Mei finished telling her story, a deep silence fell over the room.
Huang Quan gazed at her for a long time, his purple eyes flashing with light and shadow.
Fourteen mutated Heavenly Paths?
The bewildered Grand Master of Fate?
Using confusion to shroud the world and hide from the unknown star god?
It was filled with an indescribable sense of madness and tragedy.
Looking at the similar flower before him, Huang Quan felt for the first time that behind the other's perfect ending might lie sacrifices and madness far more cruel than cruelty.
Qiong Mei lowered her eyes, but inwardly she was laughing wildly.
She believed it!
Hahaha!
She actually believed it!
Huang Quan remained silent for a long time before finally remembering.
Where is the knife?
There's no such knife in this story, is there?

"So, what is that sword?"
Huang Quan directly voiced the doubts that had been lingering in his mind.
Qiong Mei paused slightly.
sword?
Oh, the Annihilation Pill.
I got a little carried away with making up the story and forgot to include the main issue in it.
But it's alright.
Multi-core processors can be overclocked instantly, and Qiong Mei can do it on the spot.
"Kiana transforms into the High Priestess of Bewilderment, forcefully resisting the power of the Bewildering Heavenly Dao, causing that indescribable terror to forget our world."
"However, confusion is like an abyss, which also devours its master. At that time, the Great Master of Fate's mind was completely shrouded in dust and haze. He did not know what he was doing, nor did he understand the reasons behind it. Even his own life and death were plunged into a state of confusion."
"The veil of bewilderment is everlasting, and the lingering power of the Heavenly Dao flows through the realm, causing all living beings, regardless of rank, to be afflicted with the disease of bewilderment."
"Civilization is like rowing against the current, gradually decaying."
"If we remain in a state of confusion for too long, our civilization may regress to that of a primitive tribe... We began to think of ways to awaken the Great Master of Fate."
"We tried everything, but with little success. Just when we were about to give up completely, the unexpected happened..."
"The world was shrouded in darkness, all was silent, except for a sword that came from beyond the heavens. Wherever its edge went, all was annihilated, including the bondage of confusion."
Sora Mei's fingertips lightly touched the scabbard:
"It was this that broke Kiana's state, turning her from the Great Master back into an ordinary girl."
"Breaking through the illusion of 'annihilation'..."
Huang Quan's gaze, fixed on the ancient katana, subtly softened with a hint of complexity.
Named Nirvana, it breaks free from shackles and saves a world from confusion and depravity.
This is probably a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
"What about you?"
Mei countered with a question, her purple eyes subtly revealing her curiosity about the past of her kind.
What stories does your sword carry?
Qiong has very little information about Huang Quan in her memories; most of it is fan-made content or memes. This is a good opportunity to learn more about it.
After a moment of silence, Huang Quan's clear, cold voice flowed through the ruins, carrying an inescapable sense of desolation:
"My hometown is called Izumo. There were 733,000 broken swords in the country, which were melted down and forged into twelve protective swords."
"The sword is broken again, and in the end, two swords that bear the weight of the world are forged, from beginning to end."
"...It begins with humans and ends with ghosts, ultimately becoming nothing but a fleeting illusion."
"In the end, we discovered it was all a lie, an end that never existed. We had already stepped into its shadow, unable to turn back, until I was finally cast into nothingness."
Huang Quan herself is the true "blade of nothingness," while her sword is merely a vessel and a symbol.
As Huang Quan recounted the story of their hometown, Qiong Mei listened calmly on the surface, but her mind was quite active.
Good guy.
This is quite similar to her bizarre and bad script.
Fear turned into nothingness. Black General passed by the homeland of the Yellow Springs, but unfortunately there was no Qi Huowang or Qi Tian Dasheng there... In the end, the world was completely shrouded in nothingness.
Two women, Mei and Mei, who look alike but have completely different temperaments, are exchanging information deep within the ruins of this dream.
Coupled with the natural attraction between similar flowers, the two quickly grew closer and became familiar with each other during their conversations.
The soft and gentle words paused at a certain moment, naturally coming to a stop at a certain point, and their attention returned to this eerie dream.
"This corridor..."
Huang Quan's cold gaze was directed into the distance, where only monotonous, repetitive colonnades stretched out under the dim yellow light, seemingly without end.
"No end?"
"An infinitely looping room, a corridor with no end..."
Qiong Mei sighed softly, her purple eyes sweeping over the irritating, repetitive scene.
"Forget it, continuing like this is probably futile. Let's leave."
This deep exploration of dreams has yielded results far exceeding expectations.
Not only did they glimpse the tip of the iceberg of the secrets of dreams, but they also learned about Huang Quan's past and became friends with him.
To be honest, Qiong felt that the relationship between the two was not like that of friends.
It's more like a reunion of long-lost cousins, connected by blood yet with a sense of unfamiliarity, carrying a peculiar tacit understanding and compatibility.
"Ah."
Huang Quan nodded and asked:
How do I leave?
Qiong Mei glanced at her.
I forgot that this lady got lost.
"You should be able to break through the spatial dimensions of dreams, right?"
"can."
Huang Quan's answer was concise and powerful.
She slowly raised her head, her slender white hand climbing up the hilt of the knife and transforming into a ferocious scarlet claw that exuded an ominous aura.
The power of nothingness spread out instantly, encompassing the surrounding corridors, lights, and even the space in an invisible shadow.
"Wait! It's just going out, is it really necessary to use this level of power?"
Sensing the sense of emptiness that made everything meaningless, Sora Mei quickly stopped Yomi from drawing her sword.
"Ok?"
The strange changes in Huang Quan came to an abrupt halt.
The scarlet claws returned to their slender, white hands, and the faded hair color instantly returned, regaining its rosy purple luster.
She tilted her head slightly, a hint of pure confusion in her eyes.
I don't think I used any force, did I?
"..."
Looking at Huang Quan's innocent expression, as if he had just moved his wrist slightly, Qiong Mei truly understood what the power of numbers meant.
"Let me do it."
When Sora Mei pulled out the Annihilation Pill, there was no earth-shattering aura.
The next instant, the blade flashed out diagonally like an ink line.
laugh!
A jet-black trajectory, imbued with the intent of precise annihilation, pierced through the infinite corridor space barrier with ease, like the sharpest scalpel.
A hint of surprise, barely concealed, flashed across Huang Quan's violet eyes.
It is also the Blade of Annihilation, which contains some characteristics of nothingness, but Mei can control this power so precisely and as if it were her own arm.
why?
Her "nothingness" is a vast and boundless ocean, magnificent yet unrestrained, and even she herself is constantly walking on the edge of being swallowed by it.
Mei's Annihilation is currently several levels below Huang Quan in terms of numerical value, but her control precision is several levels higher.
Without a word, the two purple-haired figures disappeared into the spatial rift one after the other.
Returning to the normal dream state, flowing colors and faint music once again flood the senses.
Qiong Mei tidied her hair, which had been ruffled by the spatial turbulence, and turned her head to look at her aloof 'cousin' beside her. A gentle smile, uniquely Mei's, appeared on her lips:
"Want to go for a drink in the real world? Maybe... we can talk about something less heavy."
Huang Quan gazed at her silently for a moment, a faint light seeming to flicker in her deep purple eyes. Finally, she nodded gently.
