Chapter 271 270: Life is just a cycle

On the huge divine pillar, Zhou Baiyu walked on the road built along the edge of the divine pillar, as if he were climbing a giant peak.

After climbing for an hour, Zhou Baiyu looked down. From an altitude of several thousand meters, he could clearly see the "three rings" of the Pantheon.

After walking for so long, the so-called illusion was not triggered.

He even thought that he probably wouldn't trigger the illusion.

But not long after this idea came up...

The scene around Zhou Baiyu changed.

He returned to the Youke New City Community, on the floor where his parents were.

On the balcony, my father bought a record that he was very satisfied with today.

While listening happily, I would sometimes tell Ms. Wang Shufen about the subtleties of chords.

Ms. Wang Shufen is very happy. She resolved the second round of Lu Bu without any injuries and can show off on her WeChat Moments.

The harmonious life of his parents constantly appeared in Zhou Baiyu's eyes.

He could even feel the joy.

Such joy is endless.

Because tomorrow, they will experience the same thing again.

They will buy new records and successfully defeat a difficult boss.

The same goes for the day after tomorrow. The same goes for the day after tomorrow.

There will be no ups and downs in life, and for them, happiness will be preserved forever.

After a deep sleep, when a new day comes, the cycle will occur.

Those happiness seemed to be accumulated in the cycle, took root and sprouted, and then passed on to Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu even laughed unconsciously.

At this moment, Zhou Zeshui in the illusion suddenly spoke:

"This is the life I expect. Your mother and I will always be so happy."

“Why break the cycle?”

"The first world has completed its corruption, and the second world only needs the last piece of the puzzle called Long Xia."

"Those people in the third world... are even more defenseless. Why not let them immerse themselves in the cycle?"

"Breaking this cycle and ending this happiness...does it really make sense to you?"

"How are you sure that breaking the window and waking up the sleeping person is not a form of torture and punishment?"

False reasoning.

Zhou Baiyu felt very bored.

"I laughed, just thinking, it turns out this is an illusion, nothing more than that. Secondly, my dad is not like this, no matter how happy you make me feel..."

"I'm pretty sure this isn't true."

With a wave of his hand, everything disappeared.

In front of Zhou Baiyu, there is no longer a house in Youke New City, but a road to continue climbing.

But it's not over yet.

After he walked dozens more steps, he saw the destruction of the world.

Countless cracks opened, and monsters fell from the sky, overwhelming the sky.

Humanity has suffered countless casualties. Facing the powerful pollution species and corruption species... they have no power to fight back.

Buildings collapsed, homes were shattered, corpses were everywhere, and fire and blood were washing the city.

Amid countless deaths and despair, tentacles of corruption sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and the world began to change...

"Why should we break the cycle? Before breaking the cycle, everyone can usher in a wonderful cycle and stop in one eternal day."

"After breaking the cycle, what can you change? The world will eventually come to an end..."

"You are standing in front of a crossroads that determines everything. Your actions will determine whether the end will come in a gentle way or in a brutal way!"

Zhou Baiyu sneered.

This is like a line on TV - if you tell the truth, I will leave you a complete body.

In fact, every time he saw this, he wanted to say, "It doesn't matter. After I die, you can cut me into eight or sixteen pieces."

He’s already dead, why do he care about how he died?

Everyone is fighting for a living hope.

When the doomsday comes, will it be slowly consumed in the cycle, or will rough monsters invade and destroy everything...

In Zhou Baiyu's view, these are all wrong choices.

There is only one correct option, to prevent the apocalypse.

He waved his hand again, and everything disappeared again.

But deep down in his heart, Zhou Baiyu felt a little angry.

This anger seemed to be sensed by the divine pillar.

So not long after walking, he saw the illusion again.

Only this time, the illusion no longer made Zhou Baiyu give up the cycle.

Instead, he tried to ignite Zhou Baiyu's anger.

This time, Zhou Baiyu did not see his original world.

Instead, I saw the "embarrassment" that Bobby said not long ago.

"In the Sky Eye Group, you can even see the embarrassment of some unlucky people trapped in the cycle. Hahahaha. If you have a chance, you must go and see it. It's so beautiful."

These words appeared in his mind. In his field of vision, he seemed to be in a dark room.

The room seemed to be full of polluting species, they gathered together and laughed heartily.

"Hahahahahahahahaha... look at the way she is crying! It must be delicious to eat!"

In the dim room, the only light source was the huge curtain directly in front.

This curtain seems to be some kind of treasure, able to show part of the third world.

Zhou Baiyu looked at the curtain. What was projected on this curtain was a young man named Charlie.

He is a pure practitioner.

On this day, Charlie's grandmother died. While sorting out her grandmother's belongings, Charlie saw a will.

"I want you to be a hero, Charlie. You don't do your job properly. In the eyes of others, you always disappear from time to time, and you don't seem to have any social relations with others..."

"The relatives at home always dislike you and think you are doing something shady."

"But I know, my Charlie, deep down you are still the kind Charlie."

"Because when everyone is worried about this old guy like me, you who are silent... are willing to take care of me."

"But I feel that my time is almost up and I may have to go see your grandpa..."

"Poor little Charlie, the world will definitely become clean and beautiful, and your forbearance and silence will definitely usher in a moment of being understood."

"Love you grandma."

Looking at this will, which was most likely written by his grandmother at some point before her death, Charlie burst into tears.

After he became a Pure Walker, he learned more and more things, and learned about what the world might become in the future...

The whole person has become introverted.

Many forerunners are like this, and so is Zhou Baiyu himself.

After getting to know the other side of the world, it seemed that gradually I became separated from ordinary people.

Everyone seems to not belong to the same world.

Sometimes I wonder, is it really worth my efforts to protect these unknown people?

But Charlie knew very well that he had no choice.

He always enters recruitment and always disappears suddenly. In reality, he has fewer and fewer friends.

Sometimes, people will complain that he has no sense of responsibility...

He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but the rules did not allow him to mention the advance world to ordinary people.

He could only become more and more silent.

But even so, in grandma's eyes, Charlie is still the hero who "want to save the world like Superman."

Perhaps this old man's last romance was his hope for his grandson.

Charlie was in agony. In a sense, this was the last person he cared about in the world.

He survived in desperate situations time and time again just so that his grandmother could not face the world full of monsters.

But grandma... left first after all.

This may not be a bad thing, but for Charlie, separation is always painful.

Charlie's suffering repeats itself again and again.

His life was stuck at the most painful moment.

And all around, in addition to Charlie's mournful cries, there were also the laughter of countless polluting species.

"Hahahahahaha...hahahahahahaha..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Countless laughter echoed in Zhou Baiyu's ears, and the anger in Zhou Baiyu's heart... was like a prairie fire, quickly rising up.

There is no future. This pure practitioner who saves the world may be very ordinary, but maybe what he does is still far from saving the world...

But his life should not be stuck on this most painful day.

His love for the old man should not become the laughing stock of this group of polluters.

Zhou Baiyu clenched his hands into fists and his lips trembled.

But the next second, his eyes were slightly dull.

Because he saw Zhang Haoyun.

Behind that strange curtain, the scene jumped, and it was no longer the unfortunate and miserable Charlie.

But Zhang Haoyun is constantly looking for something.

Zhang Haoyun came to the old town of Linxiang City.

This place where she has lived for a long time actually has many secrets that she doesn't know.

The defensive mode happened several times in Linxiang City. Zhou Baiyu always felt that Linxiang seemed a little special.

Whether it's the real world or the advance world.

But the person who truly realized this specialness and tried to find the source of the specialness was Zhang Haoyun.

This powerful corrupt species has been thinking about finding the entrance since the last time it went to the advance world and returned to the real world.

In Zhang Haoyun's mind, there must be a certain entrance and exit.

It is precisely because of this entrance and exit, this existence that connects the two worlds...

As a result, he turned into a monster.

For some reason, Zhou Baiyu seemed to have established some kind of sensory connection with Zhang Haoyun at this time.

He seemed to be able to feel Zhang Haoyun's inner emotions.

"To find that place... to help Zhou Baiyu, we can't stay in this world..."

"I want to contribute my strength to him."

With such thoughts, Zhang Haoyun followed his feelings like a fool...

Keep circling the old town.

She was like an ant trapped in a maze.

It seemed like the cycle was limiting her trajectory.

But all this has nothing to do with circulation, but Zhang Haoyun follows the feeling in his memory and always feels that the gap is in the old city.

After establishing a certain connection, Zhou Baiyu realized...

It turns out that Hao Yun is also constantly working hard to help herself.

He has been thinking about one thing. If he did not have the friendship of the train conductor and this badge, would this mission have failed?

But in fact...it's not.

Zhang Haoyun has actually realized it, or it may be said that because he is eager to go to the advance world and help Zhou Baiyu, Zhang Haoyun is obsessed with finding an entrance.

And this entrance—is real.

This entrance may be in the old city.

Zhang Haoyun's heart was extremely anxious, even day and night.

Even in the early morning, when she seemed to remember something during a moment of rest - she immediately started searching again.

Then there was a scene that made everyone laugh.

"Hahahahahaha... The corrupt species in that world are so strange. She is like an ant, constantly circling around."

"No NPC in the game likes to spin in circles as much as she does."

The roar of laughter from the crowd once again ignited Zhou Baiyu's anger.

Because Zhou Baiyu could feel... Hao Yun was right.

Hao Yun seems to be very close to her goal.

The gap does exist, but it may require certain tools or rituals to truly see it.

Maybe... what Hao Yun found was a way to curb the defensive mode from the root.

But she was doomed.

Even if she searches day and night, even if she keeps recalling...

She was still stuck in the loop.

Not the same as Charlie.

Charlie was in great grief, and his grief was laughed at.

Zhang Haoyun is on the edge of hope and truth, but she can't always touch it.

Because none of them have a future.

Their lives are actually no different from ending abruptly.

They can only spend this day in an endless cycle.

One keeps losing his loved one, the other keeps falling short...

There are many people who have had this experience, and "jokes" are constantly circulating behind the curtain.

Joyful laughter filled the dim room.

This experience, accompanied by the laughter of the polluted species, completely made Zhou Baiyu angry.

For the first time, he wanted to kill these people so much, and he longed in his heart to have the power to destroy everything!

And this anger also made Zhou Baiyu, who was on the edge of the divine pillar, begin to undergo some changes in his body.

It's no longer scarlet armor, but some kind of pitch black armor... covering Zhou Baiyu bit by bit.

At this time, in the transfer station, Dr. A suddenly raised his head.

In the eternal dream, the person sitting on the throne is no longer Yong Ye, but Mark. Mark also raised his head.

"Calm down! Calm down! Don't be swallowed up by your emotions!"

Whether it's A or Mark, these two guys who live in Zhou Baiyu's body are shouting for Zhou Baiyu with the loudest voices!

Under normal circumstances, they cannot interfere with Zhou Baiyu...

But perhaps the corruption itself made Zhou Baiyu wary deep in his consciousness.

This body seems to have activated its early warning mechanism——

Then the voices of A and Mark sounded at the same time:

"Stop! Don't let your emotions engulf you! You are not a corrupt species, Shenzhu is trying to assimilate you!"

"Don't be corrupted on the sacred pillar..."

These sounds made Zhou Baiyu's consciousness clear for a moment, and those dark armors instantly turned into dust.

Zhou Baiyu looked back at his surroundings...

He was already above the clouds, and there was no laughter around him.

There are only white clouds.

He was sweating profusely, and only now did he realize... how terrible things were.

"So that's how it is. You can't convince me, so you're going to use your emotions to devour me and turn me into a corrupt species..."

The biggest difficulty in climbing the sacred pillar is the sacred pillar itself.

This is a finger of the God of Corruption. If it is a non-corrupt species, it will be easily corrupted if you are too close to it.

If Zhou Baiyu hadn't been quite lively inside, with a researcher and a plagiarist living there, he might have become a corrupt species by now.

It is different from Dr. A's kind of corruption, although it is also corrupted... but the corruption affected by the divine pillar seems to have some kind of enslavement ability to the corruption.

Therefore, Dr. A is not afraid that Zhou Baiyu will be corrupted, but that he is afraid that Zhou Baiyu will be corrupted by the divine pillar.

"It's a near miss..."

Burying the anger in his heart, Zhou Baiyu took several deep breaths before moving towards the top again.

The battle with the Divine Pillar has come to an end.

Next, the most critical thing is to go to the central temple——

Destroy the source of pollution.
