My practice narration is weird.

"If the family you are talking about refers to relatives and parents, then I certainly had them before, but time has passed, and the world has changed. Those figures have long been blurred in my memory. But if you are referring to friends and partners... Even in my memory, I am doubtful about this, but maybe they did exist."

"But if we are talking about the present, then there really is no one left that I can call my family."

A calm and indifferent voice came, which was considered a response to Ye Wuyou's question.

The blade passed by, leaving a scar right on Bai Yuchan's body. Ye Wuyou did not chase after him. He paused for a moment and then sneered.

"Since you also had family members and friends, why didn't you notice the problem?"

"what is the problem?"

"When your relatives and friends pass away, you remain indifferent and feel no sadness or joy. Bai Yuchan, open your eyes and look at the separation and death that are happening every moment in this world. What has it become now? This is everything you have changed."

Uncle Wang’s experience made Ye Wuyou alert.

Later, when Ye Wuyou chose to cover Tianlan City with the Dao Domain to correct everything, he thought again and again and did not change Uncle Wang's state of mind.

Extreme joy or extreme sorrow, knowing everything but being indifferent and then feeling regretful afterwards, may completely destroy a person.

This was Ye Wuyou’s previous choice.

But Bai Yuchan looked at Ye Wuyou with some doubt.

The magical power that had just been condensed was easily dispersed by Bai Yuchan, and he asked seriously.

"What's wrong with that?"

problem?

"You really don't feel anything at all? Your relatives and friends are leaving before your eyes, but you don't feel the slightest bit of sadness... I forgot that you really don't have any relatives or friends."

Ye Wuyou laughed at himself, thinking it was all nonsense.

After all, he had briefly set foot in the [Phase of the Immortal] before.

Nature knows its inner state.

Emotions are obscured by the most correct reasoning, the desire for knowledge in the mind is greater than anything else, information hinders emotions, and the demise of the world has nothing to do with oneself, even the closest and loved ones.

Maybe you can be aware of what is happening, but that's all.

Bai Yuchan has obviously gone further in the path of [the appearance of the one without longevity].

Now, it would be like talking to a cow if I were to explain such a simple "truth" to Bai Yuchan.

But what about Bai Yuchan?
His eyes were calm, as if he was thinking about Ye Wuyou's question very seriously.

Finally, he spoke softly, but asked in return.

"Sorrow and sadness, is this what you think... Ye Wuyou, maybe you should change your way of thinking..."

Bai Yuchan's gaze fell on Ye Wuyou, then he gently turned sideways to avoid the sharp sword. He glanced at Lu Caiwei's figure out of the corner of his eye and spoke softly.

"Ye Wuyou, if you leave today, do you want the people around you to be filled with grief and pain, and to seek death for you?"

Without waiting for Ye Wuyou's response, Bai Yuchan smiled and spoke on his own.

"I don't want that, because if I have parents, relatives, and companions, and I die, I don't want them to be sad and distressed. After all, grief is only temporary. Whether it's sadness or joy, they will eventually calm down. As time goes by, they will eventually look forward. But human time is limited after all. Who will make up for the years wasted because of these emotions?"

Ye Wuyou was stunned, listening to Bai Yuchan's words, and was silent for a moment, but then he laughed.

He laughed angrily.

This may sound reasonable, but it is actually ridiculous.

If Bai Yuchan’s idea is true, then is this a human or a machine?
No, the machine is not right either. AI can even fall in love with humans.

"You win, you have surpassed AI."

"What is AI? What comes after AI?" Bai Yuchan seemed to have heard something beyond his cognition for the first time, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

There are actually things that he, the [Immortal Form], doesn't know?

Ye Wuyou's voice came quickly.

"You don't need to understand, you just need to know that behind AI is SB!"

Ye Wuyou chopped with the knife, but Bai Yuchan did not fight back, and his body kept retreating in the air.

His eyes were somewhat helpless and gloomy.

"Ye Wuyou, why don't you understand? You and I are immortals who practice Taoism. At our current level, we should watch the changes in the world and see the vicissitudes of life."

What responded to Bai Yuchan was the increasingly fierce blade and sword light.

Bai Yuchan stretched out one hand and gently clenched it forward.

Qi and spiritual energy mixed together and exploded above the sea of ​​clouds, cleansing everything.

The pitch-black armor broke through everything, and the figure of [No Man] appeared in the sky again. Ye Wuyou forced his way forward against the fierce magical power, accompanied by a whistling voice and a arrogant smile.

"What kind of Taoism are you practicing? What kind of immortality are you becoming!"

"It's better than me living a hundred years happily in the human world!"

The broken blade turned into pieces, dotted with blood-red stars, tearing everything apart and piercing through Bai Yuchan's heart.

There were bright red bloodstains on the white collar.

Bai Yuchan stretched out his hand, grasped the blade in his palm, and did not pull it out. His expression was calm, and he raised his eyes slightly to look at Ye Wuyou who was standing nearby.

The next moment, the Dao domain unfolded.

The world is still the same world, and the scenery remains the same.

However, the sea of ​​clouds that had been completely swept away by the impact returned to their original positions at this moment.

Ye Wuyou looked at the blade in his hand, which was still smeared with blood.

But the figure in front of him had disappeared.

Ye Wuyou didn't know what Bai Yuchan was thinking. He reached out and gently wiped the blood off the knife with his elbow and then looked into the distance.

Bai Yuchan was sitting quietly on another cloud.

Above the clouds are countless buildings densely packed with sunlight.

Buildings are originally inanimate objects, but at this moment they exude a powerful aura.

The memory images obtained from the eyeballs made Ye Wuyou understand everything instantly.

These buildings are the heavenly palace.

It can be regarded as the most brilliant product of the previous era.

Ye Wuyou had to admit that the Dao domain that Bai Yuchan was currently displaying seemed to be wider than his own Dao domain, and... also more dangerous.

He frowned slightly, looked directly at the other person and said, "You should understand that no matter how profound your Dao domain is, it will have no effect on me right now."

[No human form], not locked by the Dao domain.

No matter how sophisticated the magical powers are in the Dao Realm, Ye Wuyou can leave whenever he wants without being restricted by this place.

This is also the reason why both parties have never used the Dao Domain before.

Bai Yuchan nodded and smiled.

"Of course I know this. Even though I can't do anything to you, my Dao Domain is so vast that it will take some time for you to escape. This time is enough."

Ye Wuyou narrowed his eyes slightly.

What does this mean?

The voice came quickly.

"Don't worry, this Dao Realm is not meant to trap you, it just happens to isolate you from someone's eyes and ears. I, Bai Yuchan, am quite confident about this."

Isolate yourself from other people's eyes and ears?

Whose eyes and ears does Bai Yuchan want to isolate himself from now?

There is only one answer.

Narration.

Thinking of this, Ye Wuyou looked strange.

But he didn't care at the moment, and didn't leave directly. Instead, he sat cross-legged casually on the clouds, placed the broken knife on his knees, looked at Bai Yuchan, and gently raised his head to signal the other party.

This surprised Bai Yuchan a little.

"You are like this... Oh, aren't you afraid that I will cheat?"

"If you have to fart, do it now. I don't have time to whine with you."

Ye Wuyou answered casually.

He was not afraid of Bai Yuchan's conspiracy or deception, as the choice of leaving or staying was in Ye Wuyou's hands.

It’s just that this guy in front of him has never done anything since the very beginning, and he has spent so much effort to bring Ye Wuyou into the Dao Realm.

If I don't listen to the other party's words from the heart, it would seem that I am a little unkind. Bai Yuchan smiled, his eyes turned calm, and said lightly.

"It's very simple, Ye Wuyou. There are two reasons why you and I are now in opposition. One is that your philosophy is very different from mine, and you don't approve of what I do."

"And the second is that there is actually no hatred between you and me. If you think about it carefully, you will find that the hatred between you and me does not come from you and me, but from others."

"The many ancient remnants you mentioned, what they did made me bear hatred. Even though I was once an enemy of your Taoist partner, then... she is she, you are you, and I am me. The three are not the same."

"If it were from my perspective, Ye Wuyou, you appeared in front of me and attacked me mercilessly as soon as I emerged from Penglai Cave Heaven. Although I have a general understanding of this through Wenqu's memory, in fact, I always feel that it is a bit inexplicable."

As soon as Bai Yuchan finished speaking, Ye Wuyou responded with a sneer.

"According to what you said, you and I do not have any direct grudges, but what about Wenqu?"

"What happened to Wenqu?"

"She was influenced by you and facilitated all of this. She committed a serious crime and put me and the people around me to death several times."

Whether it is Pulao or the blessed land of Luo River... Wenqu’s planning is indispensable.

If Wenqu did nothing, then none of these tedious matters would have occurred, whether it was himself, Lu Caiwei, or Qinghan and others...

Over the years, I would never have experienced so many hardships, taken so many risks, and hovered between life and death.

Wenqu is guilty.

Ye Wuyou originally wanted to kill him directly, but he didn't expect the fact to be like this.

He didn't know how to deal with the other party, so he has not yet removed the ban on Wenqu.

But what is the root of all this?
It’s Bai Yuchan.

Bai Yuchan sat on the clouds, listening to Ye Wuyou's words. He was silent for a while, and finally his eyes showed some helplessness.

He shook his head and sighed.

"I can't refute you about Wenqu. After all, my success in leaving Penglai had something to do with him. But is it possible that the person who caused all this... was not me?"

"?"

"That's another Bai Yuchan, that's the original me."

Bai Yuchan's voice sounded a little strange, and even a little inexplicable.

Ye Wuyou targeted him like this, but he also had his reasons.

Bai Yuchan had injured Lu Caiwei once before. Who did it?
At that time, I had not yet been born from the Shinto pillar.

Afterwards, he fought with the narrator, became an enemy of Lu Caiwei, and used [Identity Replacement] and [Cognitive Distortion] to distort Wenqu, and imprisoned Lu Caiwei in Penglai.

Also another Bai Yuchan.

And what about yourself?

It was just two Bai Yuchan scheming against each other, but he had the last laugh and successfully took over the narrator's body.

Although the narrator also set a trap for him and sealed him in Penglai.

Then Lu Caiwei chopped him with a sword.

At that time, Bai Yuchan was only left with his soul, and was extremely weak. As a result, he could not even see Lu Caiwei's shadow clearly. He just watched the murderous sword light chasing him all over Penglai.

Bai Yuchan was stunned.

He doesn't know Lu Caiwei at all!

In the end, he had to seal himself up and separate the formation in order to escape the disaster.

As a result, after who knows how many years, as soon as he appeared, he didn't even have time to look at the clouds in the sky before he was chased by Ye Wuyou and Lu Caiwei.

Does this make sense?
Is this justified?

"Logically speaking, I am the victim, isn't it?" Bai Yuchan chuckled.

……

Ye Wuyou closed his eyes and carefully looked at the scene that came through his eyes.

He found that everything Bai Yuchan said seemed to be true.

The one who used weirdness on Wenqu, injured Lu Caiwei, and sealed the little bastard into Penglai was all another Bai Yuchan, the original Bai Yuchan.

Ye Wuyou suddenly became silent.

Can two Bai Yuchan be equal?

It seems not possible.

Because the two Lu Qingshan cannot be equal.

So if the hatred between the two comes from cause and effect, then what kind of cause and effect is this?

Ye Wuyou was speechless, while Bai Yuchan's light voice continued to come with the sound of the wind.

"Ye Wuyou, do you know that my birth was planned from the very beginning? During the hundred years in the Heavenly Palace, I was clearly alive, but I could not feel any trace of my life."

"There can only be one Bai Yuchan in the world. You probably understand this, but why didn't I turn against him before? That's because I knew that the real enemy at that time was not the other Bai Yuchan, but the narrator."

"It can destroy everything. It will destroy everything that is a 'human' in the world. Even though I am just a 'human' born from the Shinto Pillar, I still understand this and cannot let it happen."

"So the original Bai Yuchan asked me to take his place in the Heavenly Palace, drink and have fun, and wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, in order to deceive the narrator's eyes, while he secretly accumulated strength. All the immortals who were driven away by me gathered around him and obeyed his orders."

"I am the one who cleansed up the Asgard. I am the one who did the evil. I am the one who got the bad name, but he is the one who received the admiration and respect. What do you think?"

"Actually, I can do all of this, but... it's all the same. As long as I can stop it all, it's all the same, isn't it?"

Having said that, Bai Yuchan chuckled, tapped his forehead with his fingertips, and looked at Ye Wuyou's right eye with a scrutinizing look.

"You may be able to see all of that. In those scenes, another Bai Yuchan was calculating, making all the moves, and fighting to the death. He looked really good."

"And I looked a bit embarrassed. I could only keep retreating, but... I had no choice. I really didn't have as many back-up plans and calculations as he did. If I didn't retreat, I would die, but he wouldn't die if he didn't retreat. So, do you think I should retreat or not?"

"And what about him? He planned everything and finally controlled the narrator, but it's such a pity... He shouldn't have targeted me before the dust settled. I'm not afraid, but he is. Too afraid."

"Even if the world is destroyed, Bai Yuchan can still survive. As long as I exist, there can only be one Bai Yuchan."

"What he fears most is not the narrator, but me. Do you understand?"

"If he hadn't attacked me at that time and I still had the strength to spare, I would still help him seal it. After that, I don't think I could defeat him, and the result is obvious."

"But unfortunately, he didn't do that. Maybe he always thought in his mind that he had a backup plan..."

The words fell slowly, Bai Yuchan's voice was indifferent, no sadness or joy could be seen, but this was one of the few emotions he showed under the [Immortality Appearance].

He stood up, stood on the clouds, and looked straight at Ye Wuyou.

"So from now on, I, Bai Yuchan, will only live for myself."

Ye Wuyou looked at him, thought for a while, and didn't know what to say, so he clapped his hands.

Bai Yuchan's eyes were a little surprised, but then he shook his head and chuckled.

"So, there is no hatred between you and me?"

Ye Wuyou held the hilt of the knife and glanced up, "It's hard to say, but if you want to continue to change this world into what you want, then we are still enemies because we have different ideals."

Bai Yuchan thought for a while, looked up at the horizon, and pointed outside.

"I forgot to tell you, whether I continue to do all this or not, shouldn't you and I have a common enemy now?"

Ye Wuyou smiled.

"You want to rebel?"

"This seems a little inappropriate." Bai Yuchan said with a smile.

"What do you mean now?"

Bai Yuchan was silent for a moment, and finally spoke in a firm voice.

"I firmly believe that everything I am doing now and all the changes I have brought to the world are not wrong, and even 'it' is happy to see this."

"But no one knows what 'it' is thinking. I can't be sure whether it will feel too bored after a long time and want to destroy all the glory of our human beings."

"But now that I have accomplished all this and changed the entire world, I need its power to help me do it. But after that, I won't need it anymore. Its existence is actually a hidden danger. What do you think?"

Ye Wuyou narrowed his eyes slightly.

"so what?"

"Join me, and step with me into the state of immortality."

"As for the difference between you and me... Ye Wuyou, this is very simple in my opinion."

Bai Yuchan spoke lightly, looking directly at Ye Wuyou, extending his hand towards him, and said with an extremely solemn expression.

"When you step into the Immortal Phase, you will understand everything, and you will be able to... understand me." (End of this chapter)
