Primordial Era: Starting by overwhelming the Sages, Hongjun was stunned!

Kong Xuan got up, swaying unsteadily.

Xiao Bai rushed out and helped him up.

"Owner!"

Kong Xuan pushed her away and stood up.

His gaze was firm as he looked at the Primordial Chaos Spirit.

"Again."

The Chaos Primordial Spirit shook its head: "You are no match for it."

"Give up."

"I'll spare your life."

Kong Xuandao: "I don't acknowledge it."

He made his move again.

White light gathered in the palm of his hand; it was neither a knife nor a palm.

That's one point.

Extremely bright, extremely pure.

Like stars, like the sun.

He pressed that glimmer of light into his chest.

boom!

A burst of white light erupted, enveloping the entire body.

His cultivation level skyrocketed.

Burn yourself to gain power.

Hongmeng shouted, "Kong Xuan, you're at it again!"

Kong Xuan did not answer.

He threw a punch.

A pillar of white light blasted towards the primordial chaos.

Chaos Primordial Spirit's expression changed drastically, and he used both palms to defend.

When black and white collide, the sky collapses and the earth splits.

The chaotic primordial spirit flew backward, smashing into a deep crater.

Kong Xuan stood there, covered in blood.

My skin is starting to fade again.

Starting from the feet, they transform into points of light.

Little White rushed up and hugged his leg.

"Master, please stop burning!"

Kong Xuan lowered his head and looked at her.

"I'm not afraid."

"Where the Tao is, I am."

Xiao Bai shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

"You're lying! You're going to disappear again!"

Kong Xuan did not answer.

Looking towards the chaotic primordial spirit in the pit.

It got up, its body covered in wounds.

The black light dimmed, and his cultivation level plummeted.

Looking at Kong Xuan, his eyes were filled with fear.

"You're insane!"

"By burning yourself, you will disappear completely!"

Kong Xuandao: "I know."

"But I'll kill you first."

He raised his hand, and the white light condensed once more.

The Chaos Spirit turned and ran.

Kong Xuan struck out with his palm.

The white light caught up with the primordial chaos spirit and enveloped it.

The black light clashed with the white light, hissing and crackling.

The Chaos Primordial Spirit screamed in agony: "No..."

The white light grew brighter, while the black light grew dimmer.

Finally, the black light dissipated.

The body of the Chaos Primordial Spirit began to crumble.

From head to toe, inch by inch.

It turned into black mist and dissipated into the air.

It looked at Kong Xuan, its eyes filled with resentment.

"You... will regret this..."

The words vanished completely as soon as they were spoken.

Kong Xuan stopped and stood still.

The body has faded considerably.

From the waist down, it is almost invisible.

Hongmeng rushed over and helped him up.

"Kong Xuan!"

Kong Xuan shook his head: "It's nothing."

"He's not dead yet."

But he knew it was coming soon.

This fire was more intense than the last one.

My body can't be saved.

Hongmeng's eyes reddened slightly: "Why are you always like this?"

"They always give it their all."

"Can't you live for yourself just once?"

Kong Xuan smiled.

Her smile was faint, yet genuine.

"This is how I live."

No regrets.

He looked at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai knelt on the ground, crying so hard she couldn't speak.

Kong Xuan raised his hand, wanting to touch her head.

His hand passed through her.

I can't touch it.

He stopped and looked at her.

"I'm not afraid."

"Where the Tao is, I am."

"This time I won't disappear for too long."

Xiao Bai looked up: "How long?"

Kong Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."

"But I will come back."

"must."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body completely vanished.

They turned into specks of light and drifted in the air.

Little White lunges at the points of light, but can't catch them.

We can only watch them disappear, little by little.

Hongmeng stood still, gazing at the emptiness.

He remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, he turned around.

Help Xiaobai up.

"Let's go."

"He will come back."

Xiao Bai shook his head: "When?"

Hongmeng said, "I don't know."

"But if he says he will, he definitely will."

The two walked out of the ruins.

Behind me, the bamboo grove was gone, and the stream had stopped flowing.

The house is gone, and nothing is left.

Only specks of light remain, still drifting away.

Little by little, it got darker and darker.

Finally, it disappeared completely.

The wind blew, and nothing was left.

Only one promise remains, still echoing in the air.

I will come back.

"must."

The wind stopped.

The light spots scattered.

The mansion is now just ruins.

The purple bamboo forest was reduced to fragments, scattered all over the ground.

The water flow has stopped, leaving only a dried-up riverbed.

Xiao Bai stood in the middle of the ruins, gazing at the empty courtyard.

The owner is gone.

She squatted down and picked up a bamboo leaf.

The bamboo leaves had turned yellow and withered, showing no signs of life.

She pressed the bamboo leaf to her chest and closed her eyes.

"Master, I'll be waiting for you."

Hongmeng stood aside without saying a word.

He knew that saying anything would be useless.

Kong Xuan is gone.

This isn't the first time.

But this time, he might really not be able to come back.

The burning body completely dissipated.

Not even a single point of light remained.

Hongmeng turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

After walking a few steps, I stopped.

"Little White, come back to the Hongmeng Palace with me."

Xiao Bai shook his head: "I'm not leaving."

"I will wait for my master here."

Hongmeng remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"it is good."

"I sent people to repair the house."

Xiao Bai didn't say anything.

HarmonyOS is gone.

Only Little White remained in the yard.

She sat on the ruins, holding that withered bamboo leaf.

From day to night.

From night to day.

He neither eats nor drinks, nor moves or speaks.

Destroyer crawled out of the ruins, covered in wounds.

He walked up to Xiaobai and knelt down.

"sorry."

"I lied to you."

"I am not the destroyer of the world."

"I am the Primordial Chaos Spirit."

Xiao Bai looked up at him.

"I know."

"But the master doesn't know."

"He treats you like a real servant, trusting you completely."

"But you killed him."

Destroyer shook his head: "I didn't kill him."

"He burned his own body; it has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Bai got up and walked up to him.

She raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

"None of your business?"

"If it weren't for you, how could Master have caught fire?"

"If it weren't for you, how could Master have disappeared?"

Destroyer lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Xiao Bai slapped him again.

"Get out."

I don't want to see you.

Destroyer rose, turned, and left.

After walking a few steps, I stopped.

"I will come back."

"I will apologize to my master when he returns."

Xiao Bai did not answer.

The world has ended.

Little White was the only one left in the yard.

She sat on the ruins, holding bamboo leaves.

From that day on, she never left.

Hongmeng sent people to repair the house.

The purple bamboo grove was replanted, and the stream was reconnected.

The main house was rebuilt, and the prayer cushions were returned to their original places.

Everything remains the same.

But the owner is not here.

Every day, Xiaobai would sit in the main room, gazing at the futon.

That was where the master had sat.

It still carries the scent of its owner.

It was very faint, so faint that it was almost non-existent.

But she could smell it.

Because she's a novice.

Because she is the master's little white rabbit.

One day.

Ten days.

January.

October.

One year.

ten years.

Xiao Bai waited in the courtyard for ten years.

For ten years, she never left her post.

Every day I sit beside the futon, holding that bamboo leaf.

There has been no progress in cultivation, and no increase in spiritual attainment.

She doesn't care.

She only cares about one thing.

When will the master return?

HarmonyOS comes once a year.

Every time I come, I bring hope.

But every time I left, I was left disappointed.

The tenth year.

HarmonyOS has arrived.

Standing in the courtyard, I looked at the little white dog inside the main house.

"Still no news?"

Xiao Bai shook his head.

Hongmeng remained silent.

After a long silence, he spoke: "Perhaps..."

He didn't continue.

Because what follows "maybe" is too cruel.

Xiao Bai asked, "Maybe what?"

Hongmeng shook his head: "It's nothing."

He turned and left.

Xiao Bai watched his retreating figure and understood.

HarmonyOS might be saying: Maybe it won't come back.

But he couldn't bear to say it.

Xiao Bai looked down at the bamboo leaf in his hand.

The withered, yellow leaves were already broken.

She held it in her palm and pieced it together, one piece at a time.

I tried to put it back together for a long time, but I couldn't get it back to its original state.

Little White cried.

For the first time in ten years, she cried.

She cried very hard, tears streaming down her face.

"Master, you said you would come back."

You're lying.

"You lie every time."

The sound of crying echoed in the courtyard.

The purple bamboo grove rustled, as if in response.

The stream flows gently by, as if sighing.

But no one answered.

The owner is not here.

I've cried enough.

Xiaobai wiped away her tears and got up.

Step out of the main house and stand in the courtyard.

Looking up at the sky, the purple sky is dotted with stars.

It's been ten years.

She waited for ten years.

But she doesn't regret it.

Because the owner said he would come back.

she letter.

Xiao Bai walked out of the courtyard and onto the street.

I haven't left the city in ten years, and the changes are huge.

There are many new faces and many old faces.

Nobody knows her.

She walked to the Hongmeng Palace.

The palace doors were open, and Hongmeng sat on a chair.

Upon seeing Xiaobai, he was slightly taken aback.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Bai said, "I want to go somewhere."

Hongmeng asked, "Where?"

Xiao Bai said, "There's a Taoist book there."

"I want to ask the Taoist book when its master will return."

Hongmeng remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I'll take you there."

The two flew out of the Purple Gold Domain and headed towards the depths of the Boundless Realm.

After flying for three days, they arrived at the location of the Taoist scriptures.

The Taoist book floated in mid-air, its pages still turning.

Xiao Bai approached and placed her hand on the book.

She has no cultivation level and cannot press it down.

Hongmeng helped her by placing her hand on the book.

In an instant, Xiaobai's mind was completely absorbed in the book.

She saw it.

We have seen the past, the present, and the future of the Tao.

I saw chaos, I saw primordial chaos, I saw the boundless void.

I saw Kong Xuan.

The person in the black robe with black hair.

Standing at the edge of the black hole, I jumped in.

A beam of white light shot into the sky, sealing the black hole.

Little White cried.

"Master, why are you being so foolish?"

The Taoist book trembled, and its pages turned.

On the blank page, the character "道" (Dao) lit up.

Below the main text, the smaller text also lit up.

"To transform oneself into the Dao, seal the black hole, and save all living beings."

No regrets.

The handwriting glows, as if in response.

Little White asked, "When will Master be back?"

The Taoist text did not provide an answer.

She asked again, "Is the master still alive?"

The Taoist book trembled.

A line of small print appeared on the blank page.

"Where the Tao is, there he is."

Looking at those words, Xiaobai felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Where the Way is, there he is.

The Way will not perish, nor will he.

Xiao Bai withdrew her hand and turned around.

Harmony asked, "Is there an answer?"

Xiao Bai nodded: "Yes."

"The master is still alive."

"I just don't know where it is."

Hongmeng remained silent.

Alive, yet unaware of where they are.

What's the difference between that and being dead?

He didn't say anything.

Little White flew out of the Daoist book and headed towards the Primordial World.

HarmonyOS followed behind.

Back at the mansion, Xiaobai sat on the futon in the main room.

Holding that broken bamboo leaf.

She stopped crying.

Because the Taoist texts say that the master is still alive.

That's enough.

and so on.

Keep waiting.

Year by year.

Ten years after ten years.

The fiftieth year.

The purple bamboo grove has grown very tall, even taller than before.

The stream continues to flow, never ceasing.

Little White sat motionless in the main house.

Her cultivation level hadn't improved, but her state of mind had completely changed.

She used to be lively and active, never stopping for a moment.

Now she is quiet and composed, like a still pool of water.

It's not that I'm old.

It has settled.

In its fiftieth year, HarmonyOS arrived.

Standing in the courtyard, gazing at Little White.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Xiao Bai shook his head: "I'm not leaving."

Hongmeng said, "Perhaps he really won't be coming back."

Xiao Bai looked at him and said, "The Taoist scriptures say, where the Tao is, he is."

Has the Tao perished?

Hongmeng shook his head: "No."

Xiao Bai said, "Then he's still here."

Hongmeng remained silent, then turned and left.

The first hundred years.

The purple bamboo grove has grown into a forest, covering half of the courtyard.

The water flows on, never ceasing.

Xiao Bai sat in the main house, his hair all white.

It's not that I'm getting old, it's that I'm emotionally exhausted.

She waited for her master for a hundred years.

Every day and every night, every hour and every moment.

Never gave up.

But the master never appeared.

Xiao Bai got up and walked out of the house.

Standing in the courtyard, gazing at the purple sky.

"Master, it's been a hundred years."

Do you remember Little White?

No one answered.

The wind rustled through the purple bamboo.

It's as if it's saying: Remember.

Xiao Bai smiled.

Her smile was faint, yet genuine.

She went back into the house and sat down.

Keep waiting.

In the hundredth year, the world has returned.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, I looked at the purple bamboo grove inside.

He has changed a lot.

His cultivation level has recovered considerably, reaching the late stage of the Primordial Supreme Golden Immortal realm.

But there was no smile on his face.

I feel only guilt.

Mie Shi walked into the courtyard and knelt in front of the main house.

"Master, I'm back."

"I have come to apologize to you."

No one answered.

Xiao Bai walked out of the house and looked at him.

"The master is not here."

Destroyer bowed his head: "I know."

"I have come to apologize to you."

Xiao Bai asked, "What is your crime?"

The Way of Destruction: "The sin lies in deception."

"The crime is concealment."

"The sin is that he killed his master."

Little White shook its head: "Master is not dead."

Destroyer was taken aback: "Not dead?"

Xiao Bai nodded: "The Taoist scriptures say, where the Tao is, there he is."

"As long as the Way is not extinguished, he is not dead."

The world is destroyed in silence.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Then where is he?"

Xiao Bai shook his head: "I don't know."

"But he will definitely come back."

Annihilation rose and walked into the courtyard.

He sat cross-legged under the purple bamboo, with his eyes closed.

"I'll wait with you."

Xiaobai did not refuse.

The two people, one sitting and one standing.

From day to night, from night to day.

Another fifty years have passed.

this day.

The sky suddenly darkened.

The purple sky turned pitch black.

It looks like ink has been splashed on.

Hongmeng flew out of the hall, his expression changing drastically.

The Nine Realms trembled, and all the powerful beings looked up at the sky.

it's dark.

It wasn't night, it was darkness.

Darkness that devours all light.

Hongmeng flew to the courtyard and landed beside Xiaobai.

Something's happened.

Little White asked, "What is it?"

Hongmeng said, "Deep within the Boundless Realm, a hole has appeared."

"It's not a black hole, it's a white hole."

"The entrance to the cave was white and emitted a blinding light."

"Something is coming out of the cave."

Little White asked, "What is it?"

Hongmeng said, "I don't know."

"But its aura is very strong."

"So strong that it terrifies me."

Xiao Bai remained silent.

Something else came out.

Last time it was the opposite of what happened, what is it this time?

Hongmeng said, "I'll go take a look."

Xiao Bai nodded: "I'll go with you."

Destroyer stood up: "I'm going too."

The three flew out of the courtyard and headed towards the depths of the boundless void.

After three days of flying, we arrived.

Ahead, there was a huge white hole.

The cave entrance was tens of thousands of feet in circumference, and the white light was blinding.

Something was wriggling inside the cave.

It wasn't black mist, it was white light.

But that white light was different from the light of the Tao.

The light of the Tao is warm and gentle.

This light was icy cold.

Hongmeng's expression turned grave: "What is this?"
