Bengtetsu, the shapeshifting me, causes trouble everywhere.

I reached out and gripped the handle of the knife to get a feel for it.

It feels great in the hand and is tough enough. Although it's not as good as 'Wu', it's still a good knife.

'Huang Quan' laughed, and she put the long sword and the box into her silver ring:

"Thank you, I really like it. Well then, until we meet again."

He took one last look at Teng Xiao and the others who had come to see him off.

'Huang Quan' winked at Jing Liu, then turned around and left the Luofu Immortal Ship with Huang Quan.

……

They walked side by side in the void.

'Huang Quan' asked curiously:

Where are you taking me?

"Do you remember what I said? The power of nothingness should not be touched lightly, no matter the reason."

The voice of Huang Quan reached my ears through a special means.

But it made 'Huang Quan' raise an eyebrow.

"...I do remember, so?"

"I will take you to see for yourself why I am saying such things."

As he spoke, Huang Quan glanced at the person beside him.

"If I just say it, I think it's hard for you to have a deep impression, so let your own eyes see."

Huang Quan reached out and grasped 'Huang Quan's' hand.

"Witness? How can I bear witness?"

'Huang Quan' felt inexplicably uneasy.

Where does this true form of the Yellow Springs intend to take me?

Chapter 23 This is the entrance to the Abyss of Nothingness

After gradually moving away from the star system where Luofu was located.

Huang Quan stopped.

She held 'Huang Quan's' hand.

Then it seemed as if they had deliberately lifted some kind of restriction.

Immediately afterwards, a heart-pounding feeling spread from the two of them.

Of course, 'Huang Quan' can sense it.

The essence of this force is nothingness.

but!

It's powerful enough to make even the 'Yellow Springs' feel palpitations.

She simply couldn't imagine what she was about to face.

However, reality does not change according to her will.

She could feel herself sinking deeper and deeper into some shadow.

The vast, boundless, dark, silent surface of water was slowly swallowing everything around her.

And at the end of that water, the pitch-black sun floated there, perfectly still.

Just then, Huang Quan's voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"Stay vigilant, stay true to yourself, can you hold on?"

"……Can."

After the initial shock, 'Huang Quan' quickly came to his senses.

I don't know if it's because of the excellent design or the robust protection of the system.

In any case, 'Yellow Springs' was not affected by the void as before.

Huang Quan looked at Bai Ming, whose eyes were clear and unaffected, and nodded slightly.

This was within her expectations.

Since the opponent was able to withstand the power I unleashed at full strength.

So it's just stepping into a tiny, illusory shadow, and theoretically nothing will happen.

Where am I?

'Huang Quan' looked at the scenery that had been completely changed.

Although she already had a guess in her heart, she still asked the question, hoping for the best.

“We are stepping into the shadow of nothingness. A little further ahead, you will see everything I want you to see.”

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, 'Huang Quan' suppressed his thoughts.

Following the pull of the Yellow Springs, they sank down into the slightly rippling, dark water.

Until visibility is restored.

'Yellow Springs' found itself on a desolate coast.

A continuous downpour descended from the sky.

High above, shrouded in dark clouds, the inky sun shone with a chilling brilliance.

An unknown, viscous liquid, of unknown origin, flowed all the way to the dark sea.

It couldn't even cause a ripple.

however……

What truly shocked 'Huang Quan' was...

It was a hideous, withered, and terrifying arm that emerged from the sea, reaching out its palms toward the dark sun, constantly yearning for light.

And what came from beneath the sea.

Endless murmurs and wails.

Snapped--

A red oil-paper umbrella was opened by Huang Quan.

A paper umbrella appeared overhead, shielding 'Yellow Springs' from the continuous rain.

It's not just memories derived from games.

The body in use is also telling the 'Yellow Springs' what those terrifying hands are.

She turned to look at Huang Quan, whose face remained calm.

Struggling to suppress the shock and trembling in my heart, I raised my arm and pointed to the sea surface where countless palms stood upright:

“Those… are born from the shadows of nothingness, the obsessions of those on the path of destiny, aren’t they…”

"Yes, Blood Sin Spirits. They see themselves as the victims and constantly repeat the actions of the deceased in life."

"Then why does this coastline exist?"

Looking at the menacing sea, 'Huang Quan' felt a complex mix of emotions churning in his chest.

She raised her own question.

Huang Quan also provided an answer:

“This place never ‘exists.’ It is also a reflection. For nothingness, space and distance have no meaning. By indulging in the shadows, one can come here.”

After speaking, Huang Quan remained quiet for a while.

After the other person had composed themselves, she spoke again:

"Since you have imitated everything about me, then you should also know my real name."

'Huang Quan' looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression, and nodded:

“Mei, the Lightning Guardian of the River of Oblivion, right?”

"Yes, Raiden Mei, that was my original name... For countless years, I have guarded the passage to the abyss of nothingness, guiding every life that does not wish to fall into it back to this world. Guarding the River of Oblivion is also my duty."

"..."

Suddenly, 'Huang Quan' turned around.

An endless wilderness, and an endless sea.

There is no trace of life here, only endless nothingness.

"You...have been watching over us here all this time?"

"It's not always like that. Occasionally, I'll go out for some reason. For example, recently, I fulfilled the last wish of a journeyman and set off a firework on a certain planet."

Huang Quan spoke casually.

In fact, even when Huang Quan first saw that part of the story, he was only shocked and surprised, and even delighted by the Easter egg.

however,

When she truly plunged into the shadow of nothingness.

We arrived at this abyss passage that had been guarded for countless years.

Listening to Huang Quan's seemingly ordinary tale.

But it only made 'Huang Quan' feel a sense of desolation and bitterness.

"Are you going to keep facing them all the time, even though you're already so..."

I don't know what adjective to use to describe 'the Yellow Springs'.

She just felt that the woman in front of her shouldn't have acted this way.
