My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Huang Quan quietly closed his eyes and walked forward.

The ground was filled with something that was hard to tell whether it was water or blood. Even though Huang Quan was wearing tall wooden clogs, she could feel that her toes were wet.

Looking down, her once smooth and fair feet were now covered in blood.

Huang Quan couldn't figure out what had brought her memories here, nor did she want to. She just wanted to walk on in silence.

Everything around turned black and white.

It was like a movie playing on an old film reel. The black sun in the sky was still gradually expanding, and it seemed as if the fate of Izumo and Takamagahara was about to be replayed before her eyes.

There were no other survivors around, whether they were the people of Izumo, the evil god from Takamagahara, or her comrades-in-arms; they had all vanished.

There weren't even any fully-fledged weapons around.

Only the knife in her hand.

This is not a 100% recreation of the original, after all, this is just a dream constructed based on her memories.

A feeling of emptiness welled up in Huang Quan's heart, and she looked up at the black sun in the sky.

"Is this meant for me to raise my sword against Him again?"

Huang Quan wanted to walk a little longer.

Her memories were buried deep, and she could hardly remember what her hometown was like. Huang Quan decided to take another look around, even if she had to bury these memories again after leaving the dream, she wanted to see more of it.

Before destroying it with her own hands, she wanted to see it one last time.

Knowing full well what the destination of this journey is, she wants to see as much as possible along the way to give herself meaning.

Huang Quan walked forward, surrounded by black and white buildings and corpses. Everything was still; Huang Quan couldn't even feel the wind.

These things constantly remind Huang Quan that everything he does is meaningless.

Let it just disappear.

This feeling of emptiness seemed to be a dark hand emerging from the void, pulling her towards the abyss of self-destruction. But Huang Quan kept her hand firmly on the hilt of her sword to counteract the invasion.

She is a self-destructive being, but she can resist the erosion from nothingness and prolong the process of her self-destruction.

but,

Walking alone like this, it's still a bit lonely.

Huang Quan looked at the black lake water before him and thought to himself.

She crouched down and dipped her hand into the lake. Just then, a huge rock crashed into the lake, instantly creating ripples in the still water.

"What a terrible place this is! Where are my golden years of prosperity?"

Upon hearing this voice, Huang Quan laughed.

She walked toward the direction from which the stone had come, and then saw Ji Yuan standing on the shore of the lake, wearing only shorts.

The surroundings were all black and white, but after Ji Yuan appeared, a third color appeared in this world.

Colors belonging to living organisms.

She walked over with a smile on her lips.

After venting his emotions, Ji Yuan decided to thoroughly investigate what exactly was going on here.

After embracing Huang Quan, he entered the Dream Pool intending to enter the golden moment. However, when he opened his eyes, he found himself directly in the lake water.

What is this ghost?

With that thought in mind, he quickly swam out of the lake. And once out, he saw this black and white world devoid of any life.

Feeling as if no one was around, Ji Yuan took out a stone and threw it to vent his frustration.

After throwing one piece, he felt a significant release of his pent-up frustration. He decided to throw another piece and then take a closer look at what the world was really like.

His gaze remained fixed on the lake, his hand casually reaching behind him.

However, this time it wasn't a hard rock, but a wet, cold, yet very soft object.

Ji Yuan instinctively scratched his head.

It's very soft and tender.

This shape should be a very beautiful jade foot.

what! ?

Ji Yuan quickly turned around and saw Huang Quan, who was holding an umbrella and wearing a kimono, standing behind him looking at him. His hand was on her foot, which was sticking out from under her kimono.

"This……"

Ji Yuan quickly removed his hand from Huang Quan's foot.

He had just told her not to take advantage of others, but not long after, he started playing with her feet.

"I'm sorry, Miss Huang Quan, I didn't expect it to be you."

Ji Yuan quickly apologized.

"No, I'm the one who should apologize." Huang Quan shook his head.

Ji Yuan immediately realized what was happening and asked her, "Is this place related to you?"

"Yes, this is the world built from the memories of my homeland that I once destroyed."

Huang Quan nodded firmly.

"I don't know who sent you and me into this world of memories."

"Once I find out who it is, I'll definitely teach her a lesson she won't forget." Ji Yuan was also somewhat dissatisfied with this.

"I'll help you with that later."

Huang Quan seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and echoed Ji Yuan's words.

At this moment, Ji Yuan looked at herself wearing only shorts, her face flushed slightly, and she wanted to grab the clothes next to her and put them on quickly.

Seeing this, Huang Quan stopped him, saying, "Don't worry about those things. There's no need to be particular about them in this world."

As she spoke, her hand remained on her kimono, gently unbuttoning it to reveal a pair of delicate, jade-like shoulders.

Chapter 264 Ji Yuan: Huang Quan, I Will Change Your World [Second Update]

After revealing her bare shoulders, Huang Quan didn't stop. Her fingers continued to fall, and soon the white kimono fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Huang Quan didn't wear a traditional kimono with nothing underneath, as she was preparing for battle. After taking off her kimono, she revealed her purple undergarments.

Wearing only underwear, Huang Quan's delicate collarbones, firm breasts, flat stomach, pert buttocks, and long, straight legs that could be closed without any gap were all exposed to Ji Yuan.

After she finished doing all that, she jumped directly into the lake.

After swimming in the lake for a while, Huang Quan finally appeared like a mermaid.

She was already beautiful, and the vibrant colors reflected in the dark lake water made her even more alluring.

She then walked out of the lake, her feet lightly touching the sandy shore, and in a few steps she walked to Ji Yuan's side and sat down beside him.

Huang Quan commented on the lake water to Ji Yuan: "Fortunately, the water here is quite clear."

There was no nightmarish image of entering the lake and getting covered in blood.

No, if she were covered in blood, it would only arouse her more.

Only the purest ordinariness is the emptiness in her memory.

The water that Huang Quan hadn't dried off fell onto Ji Yuan's skin, wetting his just-dry skin again. Ji Yuan glanced at Huang Quan, who just smiled indifferently.

Seeing Huang Quan like this, Ji Yuan simply lay down.

Huang Quan then lay down beside him.

The two of them looked at this black and white world together.

This world is truly desolate.

There are no other colors besides the other.

Ji Yuan was still very curious about this world, but he didn't ask. He believed that Huang Quan would tell her everything about this world later.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Huang Quan couldn't hold back any longer.

“Ji Yuan…” Huang Quan turned to look at Ji Yuan.

Huang Quan turned to the side, her long purple hair falling onto Ji Yuan's cheek, making Ji Yuan feel ticklish.

"what happened?"

"I have a question for you." Huang Quan's gaze was very serious, his sharp eyes almost piercing through Ji Yuan's spirit.

"what is the problem?"

Huang Quan asked softly, "If the end of the journey is already predetermined, your family, friends, companions, even the birds in the sky, the trees along the way, and even yourself will eventually disappear. If you knew this ending, would you still choose this path?"

She wanted to know Ji Yuan's thoughts: whether he would choose to continue or dare not embark on this path.

"I won't."

Ji Yuan spoke at this moment.

Huang Quan paused for a moment, then nodded:

"Yes, if the ending is already predetermined, there is indeed no need to embark on this path in the first place. Rather than struggling and then discovering one's own powerlessness, it is better to remain in the initial beauty."

"No, I mean we won't take this road, not that we won't walk at all," Ji Yuan said, both amused and exasperated by Huang Quan's words.

"I'm going to take a different path. What is fate? I'm going to change it."

His tone was very serious.

Does accepting fate mean accepting a lifespan of less than a hundred years?

This is of course impossible.

I will change my own destiny.

Ji Yuan never believed that one's fate was unchangeable, and that a person's future should never be nothingness. Under his guidance, Tingyun and Liuying, who were not supposed to live past a hundred years, successfully escaped their fate of death.

Their fates have changed, so there's no reason why other people's fates can't be changed as well.
