Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

There was a large white porcelain bowl on the table in front of the window. Tide was clinging to the edge of the bowl, half of his body was soaked in the cool water, and his eight legs were leisurely massaging each other.

"Ah, what a treat..." It sighed comfortably, using one of its tentacles to pry at the nearby bowl. "I really should have revealed the truth sooner."

This way, the good days can last a few more days.

"So, what are you going to do next? Should we go back to the academy first? We can still make it to the Spring Banquet in Bugui City this year! But after this incident, I don't know if we can still make it..."

bang.

"You can't help much in the human world. The Yinglong Guard has a deep foundation and has been around for thousands of years. They will definitely be able to arrange everything properly. Your journey is still in the foreign land."

bang.

"Speaking of which, Ingerson has bad intentions. He's throwing that hot potato into your hands. What if the Rosicrucian Society gets in trouble later and Su Yan and the others come knocking on your door?"

"However, they can attack Ingerson, but they may not want to kill you. After all, you are different from Ingerson."

bang.

Xi Sui'an lay steadily on the bed, his hands folded on his abdomen, breathing deeply, as if he was already fast asleep.

The tide kept beeping for a long time, but seeing that Xi Sui'an ignored it, it felt lonely and had to lift up the bowl and pour all the seafood in the sauce into its mouth.

The more it ate, the hungrier it became. It closed its eyes reluctantly and sank to the bottom of the bowl, trying to have a delicious and sweet dream.

Sea of ​​souls.

Xi Sui'an sat on the mirror-like sea, staring at the opposite side with a pair of dark eyes.

The system was trembling with fear.

It swallowed its saliva and said, "You...you don't want to rest. It's so rare for you to go home..."

Xi Sui'an changed his hand to support his chin, relaxed his posture and continued to stare.

The system hesitated to speak, and finally said in despair: "What on earth do you want to do?"

Staring at it like this really feels oppressive!

Xi Sui'an lowered his eyes to look at the heartfire of Fafnir sealed in the golden ball of light, and said in a light voice: "Tong, look, the World Tree is almost dead."

"..."

The system is under tremendous pressure.

She tapped the side of her face with her fingertips and continued, "Are you still trying to hide at this time?"

Xi Sui'an retracted his gaze and said, "I think we really need to be completely honest. It's really tiring to always be on guard while working together. I've gotten to know you a little better over this long time."

She spoke slowly, "You, who can reclaim your godhood, should be above the gods, but your power loss is severe. You chose to reside in my sea of ​​soul partly to seek recovery, and partly to share your power with me so you can obtain what you need. The accompanying influence is indelible. You see, my power is being assimilated by you."

She raised her chin towards the sea of ​​her soul which was shimmering with golden light.

"Tell me, if I listen to you and continue collecting godhead, in the end, will you become me, or will I become you?"

Xi Sui'an's nonchalant tone caused the system to tremble violently.

The system looked at Xi Sui'an who couldn't help but retreat, and it suddenly realized that when the situation changed, Xi Sui'an's attitude would also change.

To her, unlike the tides to which she was entrusted with her life, it was a more unknown existence, and the threat was also unknown, so she didn't dare to trust it at all.

The system complained: "Don't you have any trust in me at all?"

"Yes, but not much." Xi Sui'an answered honestly. From the beginning until now, apart from the common interests between them being trustworthy, nothing else can be said.

The system landed on the sea surface with a clatter. After a moment of silence, it gritted its teeth and said, "What will happen to you if I refuse to be honest?"

Xi Sui'an said calmly, "Then I'll move you to a new home."

While the system is not yet fully developed, she can probably wrestle with the system in her own sea of ​​soul. After all, this is her home ground. The cost of expelling it is huge, but not unbearable.

The system went silent.

It watched Xi Sui'an close her eyes, and the next second her origin core started to spin wildly. A sudden hurricane shattered the calmness of the sea surface, and the sea water in the deep was rolled up. The terrifying suction force turned the entire sea of ​​souls upside down.

Strands of golden light wandered in the "sea water" like water snakes diving in the deep sea.

The system retreated again and again, and said in panic: "Hey, what are you doing? You will tear your soul apart like this!" Moving it immediately is too much! It didn't even speak!

The waterspout tore apart all the peace. As Xi Sui'an raised his hand, it turned into a giant palm. Under the pressure of the vast soul, there was no escape.

She seemed to hold the system in her hand with ease, but the system struggled, feeling the threat. Countless tiny golden lights instinctively converged on it, and the golden python coiled around, baring its fangs towards the palm.

Xi Sui'an ignored the intense pain and crushed the giant python with his backhand. The golden light in the sky fell like raindrops, creating ripples on the water, and finally formed a roaring wave in the sea of ​​souls.

When the system saw Xi Sui'an stand up, the entire sea of ​​souls roared and rolled, and every drop of sea water showed its clear hostility towards it.

This is the place it chose to parasitize, and no matter how much it liked it before, it is not the owner of this place.

The system hesitated. It had now recovered about one third of its power. The right to unlock the heart fire was in its hands, and the power of the godhead was also in its control. It could try to turn the tables.

But now it... dares not, and cannot.

They can restrain each other, but they cannot destroy each other together.

Seeing Xi Sui'an's determination to fight it even if it meant tearing his soul apart, it suddenly knew what bitterness felt like.

Human beings are really crazier than each other.

"I said, I said!"

The power of the sea of ​​soul stagnated.

The system felt a little short of oxygen. It was silent for a while, and finally gave up and said:

"I am... the core of 'Chu'."

Xi Sui'an's eyes twitched slightly. "Beginning?" This word, which implies the beginning and the beginning, could only remind her of one place.

She felt a chill in her heart!

"Beginning? The place of origin?!"

The system struggled for a moment before cautiously saying, "Not entirely. 'Chu' is the pillar of the Land of Origin, and I am its core. In a sense, it is my mother, the mother of all gods, and the eternal destination of all living things. I don't know the specifics, but I only know that one day, the ancient gods of the Land of Origin divided up 'Chu's' power, and I was forced into a deep sleep."

"When I woke up again, it was already the Age of the Fall of the Gods. I fell into the hands of a human, and only then did I realize that the Land of Origin had long since transformed into a graveyard that devoured the gods."

It muttered, its voice unconsciously lowering. "The human who captured me then studied me constantly, attempting to separate my powers and combine them with other powers. They named me 'Zero'."

After hearing this, Xi Sui'an suddenly realized something that he had not noticed before. If system number is zero, then after it, are there one, two, or even more?

She asked, and the system nodded in frustration. "After being split into pieces, she threw me into a time-space cage. Within the cage are countless intercepted timelines, the past, present, and future intertwined in a chaotic mess. I frantically searched for a way out, and eventually escaped to the present human world."

Xi Sui'an was lost in thought. The power of playing with time and space, splitting the system, was too strong...

The system held its tail and said bitterly, "What I previously re-examined was just the timeline arranged by the other party."

No wonder it anticipated the changes in the World Tree.

"Then why did you come to me?" she suddenly asked. "My so-called 'previous life' must be quite interesting, right?"

Was their meeting also predetermined?

The system wanted to cry, feeling a little aggrieved. "It's not that easy to break through time and space. I was already weak, and with half my life left, I'm almost wiped out after coming here. I can only hurry to find a host to parasitize. As for why I found you..."

It recalled the accidental glimpse it had when it escaped from its cage and strayed into time and space.

The girl on the ruins was leaning against the stone, covered in blood, with the fragments of the long sword scattered on the ground around her.

The alien race she was fighting with wished her peace with emotion, and took advantage of the situation to drag the seriously injured her into an eternal dream that she was powerless to resist.

The miracle did not favor her, and there was no possibility of a Jedi counterattack.

She just kept her eyes open, her pupils gradually dilated, her breathing slowly disappeared, her heartbeat quietly stopped, and finally she died peacefully.

The world was completely silent, the flowers on the ruins had withered, and the silent wind announced the bleak end of this life.

As it passed by, it was curious about this human's dying dream and couldn't help but invade the dream and take a look.

That was an ordinary human dream.

In the dream, she had gone through long years, walked through countless mountains and rivers, and her eyes were filled with countless landscapes.

She watched the endless fireworks of the secular world and the monotonous joys and sorrows of ordinary people, and passed through a hundred years in that way.

Finally, dusk arrived, and the old woman closed her eyes lazily and calmly in a magnificent sunset.

That's it.

There is no grandeur, no ambition, it is just ordinary.

How strange, is this what humans desire most when they die?

It looked at the dead girl and suddenly felt a strange peace, which allowed it to finally calm down and observe everything and look for a way to escape.

Although it didn't understand why such a boring dream could make the girl fall into eternal sleep, it still subconsciously remembered her.

It was so impressed by Xi Sui'an that when it fled here to find a host, it decided it was her at first sight.

It was very happy and thought that if the dream before death was the life she longed for, then it would give this dream to her as a gift.

In this timeline, it weaves dreams of the future into the ethereal past, shaping a life with falsehood and truth. So, can a destined death be modified? Can a brand new fate distort the prophet's prophecy?

It pondered, and on an ordinary day, it sent an invitation from fate to the confused girl.

Dear host, let us experience a great adventure together.
