Peerless: Auspicious Beast's Star Revival Plan

Chapter 142 Hello, another me
Huo Yuqing walks on the ice field.

She felt cold, very cold.

After merging with Tianmeng Iceworm, the feeling of cold seemed to be far away from her. In fact, the twelve-year-old girl named Huo Yuqing was afraid of the cold.

The winter in the Star Luo Empire does not have the wind and snow that howls like a knife blade like in the Far North, but the cold can still bring numbness and pain like needle pricks.

Even in winter, Huo Yun'er still had to wash clothes for the senior servants of the Duke's Palace in exchange for food to fill herself and her daughter's stomachs.

Huo Yuqing remembered the cold and stiff whiteness of her mother's fingers when she took them out of the laundry water. She was afraid that her mother's fingers would freeze into ice in the cold, turn purple-black, and finally fall off unconsciously, as the old people described.

She wanted to clean those clothes for her mother, but Huo Yun'er wouldn't allow it anyway. Those were the few times her mother scolded her in her memory.

Even so, those fights still shimmered warmly in her memory.

She waded through the snow that covered her calves. In front of her was a vast expanse of white. Even the sky was gray. There was no difference between the sky and the earth. She didn't know where the end point was.

The sun was not there, the sun had left, the fire was not with her, and those pure and dazzling golden eyes were not looking at her. She didn't know if Wang Rui would be waiting for her at the finish line.

His voice was pleasant, even gentle, but Huo Yuqing felt something... broken. The bottomless hole behind the reflection was countless times more terrifying than her own.

She stopped, and the figure remained motionless in the wind and snow.

She couldn't see clearly his facial features and clothes, but she knew that the man's face must be very familiar, just like staring at the shadow in the water. Huo Yuqing was as familiar with him as she was with herself.

There can't be a second person here.

It wasn't until the snowflakes between her and the figure no longer blocked her sight that she could see clearly that the reflection was a tall man.

She moved forward tentatively, and the figure moved forward with her... Fuck it, Huo Yuqing gritted her teeth, this is my dream, my spiritual realm, no matter what kind of monster you are, you must not be my opponent.

Huo Yuqing suddenly remembered that she was not actually trekking in the snow, but was merging with the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. She must go through this painful process soberly, reborn, and gain the most powerful power in the world. She is the only one, and no one else can help her.

She narrowed her eyes and stared at a blurry figure that appeared at the end of the wind and snow.

Only when you get out of this wind and snow can you see the fire...

Huo Yuqing walked forward in a daze.

She didn't know how long she stayed. The pain burned along her bones and became more intense. She shouldn't have stopped.

Yes...this is my conscious world, or in other words, my...dream. It is a limited range of wind and snow.

She continued to move forward, and the figure also moved forward at the same speed, but Huo Yuqing vaguely felt that she was walking towards a mirror.

Compared with the pain caused by the fusion of the Ice Emperor, the knife-like cold wind in the far north is like gentle feathers, and the icy snow is as comfortable as a steaming hot spring.

"A clown hung on a spider web, a fool deceived by a phantom, a waste that no one can protect." Reflection said in a dreamy voice.

"Who are you?" The question comes out of the mouth, and no one will be cautious when facing themselves.

Because there was heartbreaking pain under the cold, and she had to stay awake.

The cold felt good to her at this time, and the cold numbed part of her senses.

Some kind of energy from the same origin was beating warmly on the reflection's forehead, as if there was some kind of connection that Huo Yuqing could not understand now.

Huo Yuqing wanted to stop, but she couldn't.

But it shouldn’t be here…

Huo Yuqing seemed to sense something from those vague words, and her voice became sharper: "Who are you?!"

"My name is [——]" the reflection said, the last three words were submerged in the snow and wind in the dream, but his tone seemed as if he wanted to kill himself with those three words.

"How could you?!" the girl roared, she let out a meaningless scream of pain, she couldn't control her emotions, the reflection was mixed with her own pain, anger, grief... and hatred. , impacting her reason.

She rushed forward and tried to grab the reflection by the collar, but the reflection was too high.

He stood there in silence, letting his tiny reflection beat him to death.

"Why?" Huo Yuqing asked, but the tall reflection looked... almost completely broken.

"An opportunity...I see a lot of it," he said softly, "...maybe we shouldn't be with them."

He lowered his head, and his third eye met the third eye of his small shadow.

A flood of incomprehensible information flooded into Huo Yuqing's consciousness, and she reluctantly captured the countless recognizable images: the puppet with the mother's face; the puppet with the man's face...and then the pink and blue The boy with short brown hair is laughing; the girl with long pink and blue hair is laughing; the girl with long pink and blue hair dies palely; the dragon and lion with golden and red manes are entangled in silk threads; the dragon and lion with golden and red manes are melting; the pink and red dragon and lion are melting. The girl with long blue hair has a cold face; the girl with long pink and blue hair is burning...

"He is her...she is in that person's plan, and I am also in that person's plan." Reflection murmured in a sleepy voice, sounding as if there was not much reason left, "Maybe you should stay away from him..."

Huo Yuqing covered her ears. She couldn't understand those pictures, and those pictures made her painful.

The reflection also cannot bear so much information. Even though he has reached the top of the world and has a powerful mental power that no god can match, the eyes he uses to peer into fate originally belonged to someone else. He is not used to fate and does not understand fate.

He only saw nightmare images rising and falling one after another, like a cat forever chasing its tail, trapped in a sad cycle.

He found the only reflection he could touch and he wanted to break the cycle.

…He’s broken. The glimpse-like picture seemed to have come to an end, and Huo Yuqing saw the ruins.

The collapsed Poseidon statue, the dried up Poseidon Lake... these are the remains of Shrek.

In a Shrek that is full of soul guides but extremely dilapidated, the young soul guides gather around the fire to hold on to humanity's last hope.

Huo Yuqing's consciousness rose into the sky as a huge, black and purple bone dragon lingered in the sky that was always roaring with wind and snow.

She saw the Star Forest, which was frozen in black ice, as lifelike as insects wrapped in amber... The frozen soul beasts seemed to continue their lives in the next second, but there was only death silence here. .

In the deepest part of the forest is a huge throne made of silver keels and dark blue ice crystals. A woman with a cold face and a black ice crown sits there, separated by endless time... and something more unpredictable. , looking at Huo Yuqing.

In her arms lay a crystal-like golden skull, which, like hers, had a third eye.

She rubbed the skull in her arms, just like stroking her lover's face, but there was a trace of relief on her cold face.

"...The changes have come...This place is no longer your end." The golden skull spoke at the same time as her, with a voice like a bell.

A strong sense of weightlessness.

Huo Yuqing stood in the snow again, facing the tall reflection.

Somehow, she knew that the reflection of the last thing she saw was something she didn't see.

The tall reflection seemed to have regained some sanity, and he seemed a little at a loss for the moment.

"I'm sorry...I..." He still didn't finish his words. Maybe it was because his other self was too young and had a completely different future.

Wang Rui, that name slipped through his heart strangely.

Yes, what would the auspicious beast be called if that person hadn't intervened? How will she meet him?

But these are meaningless. In another fate, that person also targeted them, and he even twisted his daughter for this.

Even though he was just an insignificant projection now, his tall reflection felt like he was about to vomit.

"Your mental power is too weak." Finally, he said softly, "You cannot retain these memories. They touch things that you can't touch now. They are too... profound. In order to protect you, your brain will actively forget them. But I still want to leave some help."

A handful of green light that beat like a heart appeared in his palm. "Ice attribute... is the cornerstone of my strength, but I haven't used ice attribute to fight in person for a long time."

He sighed like an old man who missed the past, "But this is what I have learned about the properties of ice over the years... They are within the range you can accept. I hope this can be helpful, for..."

He swallowed the last few words.

Before Huo Yuqing could react, the handful of green light blended into her body, and the tall reflection also shattered and disappeared.

"Goodbye."

"And...be happy, the other me."

……

Ice Emperor, who was merging with Huo Yuqing, suddenly had an indescribable realization in her heart, as if her essence had been sublimated at this moment...

This sublimation even caused a strange phenomenon in the heaven and earth, like a green light pillar rising from the sky and the earth, making the sky look like emerald.

The Ice Emperor knew that if he were still alive, he would be able to break through the catastrophe through this enlightenment, but...

Although I couldn't figure out why, this glimmer of enlightenment was obviously brought about by that girl.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion looked at Huo Yuqing thoughtfully, and his eyes seemed to be a little more firm.

……

Immediately afterwards, the Snow Emperor was furious, and the Golden Dragon King descended. The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King completely gave up on the Silver Dragon King and turned to the Emperor's auspicious beast.

Somewhere along the way, fate took another fork in the road.

No one knows what lies ahead.

We can only... move forward.

……

At the same time, in another distant universe, a golden cat with smooth fur and an expensive look woke up from its dream.

She was stunned for a while, then suddenly murmured: "Hey, are you thinking about me..."

The sun was just right, and the cat's golden fur was like fire, burning in her favorite scratching post cat nest.

After a while, the golden cat stood up. She shook her fur lightly, and the cat's shadow arched and lengthened, turning into a girl wearing lion pajamas. She tiptoed to the kitchen and took a picture from the refrigerator. I took out a can of Coke.

"Pop." Bubbles floated precariously in the brown liquid.
