Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

Xuan Li could no longer remember how long the battle lasted. He was so focused that he even stopped thinking about the number of times.

He only knew that he had reincarnated many, many times, died many, many times, and fought many, many times.

Until the huge monster that originally covered the sky and the sun no longer seemed so scary and more defeatable.

But this time when he was reborn, the monster did not attack him immediately.

It twisted its body connected to the earth in the air, baring its fangs and claws, with its bloody mouth gaping open, revealing scarlet color, as if it wanted to swallow Xuan Li.

Although it was showing its fangs and claws, it did not make any move. Looking at Xuan Li, it suddenly smiled with a hint of mockery.

Suddenly, balls of pitch-black ghost fog descended from the sky, landing on the black substance below that had already been mostly reduced, and continued to grow stronger.

The black substance grew at an extremely fast speed, and the monster also expanded at an extremely fast speed. In Xuan Li's sight, the darkness was like an endless high wall, and in a few breaths it completely occupied the entire scene in front of him.

It returned to its original state.

The dark sky that seemed to be reconstructed in all directions was like a cage made of monster claws, which was bound to hold Xuan Li tightly in its hands.

The monster, which had recovered to its full strength, looked at Xuan Li, its huge scarlet eyes mocking him again, as if saying that he was overestimating his own abilities, and wanted to see what his reaction would be after all his previous efforts were wasted.

Xuan Li raised his eyes and looked at the monster.

The enemy in front of him at this moment was the same as at the beginning, or even stronger than at the beginning.

The ferocious face swaying in the darkness outside seemed to be roaring silently at Xuan Li.

You can't kill me!

The past cannot be cut off and the pain is endless.

It was born from Xuanli himself, so wanting it to devour an elephant like an ant is just a luxury!

Wrapped in darkness and coldness again, the light that had been suppressed to an extremely dim state seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Despair?

Xuan Li murmured softly in his heart. All around him, those strange-looking creatures emerged from the darkness again, densely packed like a tide.

He was in the midst of it, not even a small boat tossing in the rough waves. Even if he could be reborn again and again, he was still so insignificant.

But...Xuan Li shook his head slightly, looked at the monster in the distance with bright eyes, and spoke softly

"It's you who should be despairing..."

The monsters gathered around him, but did not attack him. Instead, they stood still.

A twisted, hideous-looking, hunchbacked monster took a step towards Xuan Li in front of him, and then stretched out its beast-like claws tremblingly.

Ever since——

A beam of light fell down.

In its hands—

A delicate white flower blooms.

Beautiful.

Then came the second beam of light, and the third beam of light. Each beam of light was like a crack in the dark curtain, or a grand meteor shower from top to bottom.

Countless rays of light converge to illuminate the entire world. This is a meteor shower formed by the convergence of a beam of light belonging to each "monster".

They are slaves to pain, not pain itself, and do not want to be pain itself.

They also want to have their own "white flowers."

But they do not have even a trace of "light" because they themselves are already filled with darkness.

So they learned from every "death" of Xuan Li, every "start over" of Xuan Li, and every time Xuan Li stubbornly tried to "shake a tree with an ant"...

It captured a ray of light from Xuan Li's heart.

Time and time again, bit by bit.

Because they are all just beings wrapped up in pain, not the pain itself. It is the pain that has dyed them with the "black" that they are unwilling to recall and cannot let go.

They originally had their own colors.

And now, these existences dyed black carefully stole a glimmer of hope from Xuan Li for themselves.

That belongs to them.

The last ray of light in the darkness.

After all, it is not the dark pain that occupies most of the past. The darkness and monsters in front of us represent the pain of the past, not the entire past.

Those beautiful things never leave, and gradually grow stronger with the nourishment of time, increasing little by little with Xuan Li's experience.

There is always more beauty than pain.

The reason why it was like that was simply because one was unable to distinguish and care, because... pain always fills people's hearts more than beauty.

Pain will occupy most of people's vision when they recall the past, and will linger in their hearts for a long time.

And now, they have their own light, so the pain can no longer engulf them.

When the light falls to the earth, the white flowers belonging to them will bloom completely under the nourishment of hope!

Xuan Li looked at the "monster" holding flowers in front of him, and saw with his own eyes that the dark fluid solidified, and cracks appeared like a fragile shell, slowly peeling off.

Pieces of debris fell, followed by wisps of soft halo, and when the outer shell of the "monster" was completely fallen off, the existence in front of Xuan Li also completely changed.

A slightly illusory figure emitting a faint glow was standing quietly in front of Xuan Li, holding flowers in both hands.

It nodded slightly, as if to express gratitude, and extended the white light in its hand slightly forward, as if to give it to Xuan Li.

The next second, its body began to disappear from its head and turned into a point of light. Gradually, the entire light and shadow completely dissipated.

However, the white flower did not fall with it. Instead, it stayed with the bird, fell on the ground, took root, and grew.

And this same scene happened thousands of times in this short moment, and quickly spread to the distance.

Each of the "monsters" took off their shells and became pure light and shadow.

And white flowers were left behind as they left.

Endless points of light floated into the air, like a sea of ​​light rising upwards, filling the entire sky, which looked shocking.

Xuan Li raised his head and watched them leave, nodded slightly in greeting, then lowered his eyes and looked at the white flowers that had taken root and were so dense that he couldn't even step on them.

They are so beautiful.

"In the endless darkness, a beam of light fell to the earth. After entering the earth, this beam of light came into life."

"When everything gradually begins to reveal itself, this white flower takes root and grows, blossoming as the dark world recedes and a beautiful world is born."

The words in his memory rang in his ears, and Xuan Li smiled slightly. These were the words Qingyi had said before.

And now, it has come true.

Here, an endless sea of ​​flowers blooms.

"Where a sea of ​​flowers blooms is where all beauty converges."
