From the Valkyrie to the Endless

…………

[The fifth day of the third month in the twenty-seventh year of the Xin Dynasty]

[Ah Qing, am I really useless? No matter how hard I try, my cultivation speed is still getting slower and slower. I don’t know if it will take a hundred or two hundred years to enter the Condensation Realm. I don’t want to wait any longer…]

[In the letter you left behind, you said that if I didn’t want to be emperor, I could choose to retire and share power with other officials, but it seems that it is not that easy...]

[Some people suggest that enfeoffment is a sign of the country’s demise…]

Is this right or wrong?

【August 15, the 37th year of the Xin Dynasty.】

[Ah Qing, I can’t hold on any longer…]

As he turned the pages of the brocade book, Shen Qing's breathing became heavier.

Shen Qing knew that Zhao Yu had the habit of writing a diary, but she didn't expect that the diary would be so simple and most likely it was about her.

Her previous thoughts were undoubtedly naive. She thought that after making good arrangements and leaving, Zhao Yu could live an easy life, but now it seems that the opposite is true.

Seeing that Shen Qing remained silent, Yun Zangfeng on the side said, "There are signs that the divine tunnel has opened near Luzhou. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you for long."

Before he finished speaking, he clasped his fists and saluted, arranged for people to fill the imperial tomb, and then turned and left.

"The divine corridor?"

Hearing the greeting, Shen Qing looked up subconsciously.

"Yes."

Feng Muyu nodded, and then suddenly realized that Shen Qing might not know what the Divine Tunnel was, so he immediately explained:

"The senior has been practicing in seclusion overseas for a long time, so he may not know much. About two hundred years ago, unknown passages suddenly appeared in various parts of the world. The place connected was an alien world. It seemed that there were real gods in that world, hence the name."

"Senior, would you like to go and take a look?"

"No, thank you for your help this time."

Shen Qing shook his head, left two bottles of pills as a reward, looked at the gradually filling up tomb, and turned to leave.

As time goes by, it's all in vain, and she doesn't want to do anything at the moment.

101.

2023-06-12

The sky was covered with dark clouds, flashes of lightning, and heavy rain.

Hot mist was rising in the bathroom.

Slightly scalding warm water splashed down on his face, soaking his long hair, and finally sliding down his waist, back, hips and legs. Shen Qing's mind went blank, and the thoughts in his head were temporarily washed away.

But after getting used to the water temperature, the thoughts in my mind began to churn again involuntarily, and the memories of the past became clearer and clearer. Even the details that I never recalled on weekdays were dug out from the depths of my mind. Even if I didn't want to think about them anymore, these memories were still clear.

"call--"

Shen Qing exhaled, dried his body, walked out of the bathroom, put on a loose bathrobe, slumped down on the sofa, and stared at the slightly yellowed brocade book on the coffee table in a daze.

In the last few entries in the diary, Zhao Yu no longer recorded the time, and the content was also very confusing, as if he was unconscious and talking in his sleep, but he kept repeating himself and often dreamed of her.

Obviously, when Zhao Yu wrote the last few diaries, his condition was already quite bad.

Life is like morning dew, fleeting.

At this moment, Shen Qing had no intention of practicing martial arts at all, her mind was a mess. She stretched out her hand and tried to grab something, but there was always a veil in front of her eyes and she couldn't see clearly.

Shen Qing was not completely unpredictable about what happened after her separation from Zhao Yu. She just subconsciously didn't want to think about it. She would always feel better by deceiving herself and making excuses for herself.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rings.

Shen Qing got up and opened the door. Standing outside was Song Lingjia, who was wet all over. His shirt had been soaked by the rain and was full of wrinkles.

"You don't look very good, what's wrong?"

Song Lingjia reached out and touched Shen Qing's head, feeling the slightly hot temperature, his brows slightly frowned:

"Have a fever?"

"Nothing." Shen Qing shook his head, turned sideways and let Song Lingjia in.

After entering the room, Song Lingjia did not hide anything and found the bathroom with ease. She washed off the coldness from her body, threw all her clothes into the washing machine, then tied up her half-dry hair, put on Shen Qing's sportswear, and lay down on the sofa.

"Tell me the truth. What happened during those days when you were absent from work? How did you get involved with the Psionic General Administration?"

Song Lingjia leaned on the sofa and spoke with a frown. Shen Qing was wearing a slightly loose sportswear, but it was a little tight on her, and the collar was stretched a little.

The last time when picking someone up at the police station, Song Lingjia was so concerned that she neglected for a moment and didn't even think about Jiang Weiting's existence. It was too unreasonable.

Ordinary fraud cases would never alert the General Administration of Psychic Powers. Even if someone died, it would have little to do with the General Administration of Psychic Powers and would be handled by the police station.

There was only one reason why Jiang Weiting appeared beside Shen Qing, and that was that during the days when Shen Qing was absent from work, an unknown change occurred in his body, which established a connection with the General Administration of Psychic Energy.

"A lot of things happened." Shen Qing lowered her head and said nothing. For a moment, she didn't know where to start.

Looking at Song Lingjia in front of him, Shen Qing suddenly felt an indescribable helplessness. Song Lingjia was just an ordinary person, destined not to live long.

With the previous experience of Zhao Yu, Shen Qing is now somewhat afraid of being involved in cause and effect again.

Although she managed to return alive from Daxia and even killed Yang Zongxian, achieving great success in battle, she might not be so lucky next time.

She had no idea where the sundial would take her, so even a sudden death would be normal.

Shen Qing is too deeply involved with Song Lingjia. If she dies, there will be one more person suffering in the world. This is not the result Shen Qing wants.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. I won't ask."

Looking at Shen Qing's frowning brows, Song Lingjia sat up, helped Shen Qing lie down, gently closed his legs, adjusted Shen Qing to a comfortable position, and gently rubbed his temples.

This feeling of being protected was the first time Shen Qing experienced this. The soft touch from behind her head instantly soothed her thoughts.

It is undeniable that she received great comfort from Song Lingjia at this moment.

Being hugged by someone turned out to be such a comfortable thing. No wonder Zhao Yu often suffered from insomnia when she was not around...

"Don't make yourself so tired. You are just a little old. It is not possible for you to be perfect. No matter what happens, have a good sleep. After waking up, everything will be fine."

Song Lingjia lowered his voice and spoke in a gentle tone.

boom--

Thunder exploded outside the window, but the waves in Shen Qing's heart gradually subsided, and in the blink of an eye, he lost consciousness.

Luzhou City.

A lake a hundred kilometers away from the city.

The lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. But at this moment, it is swept away by the wind, with evil spirits everywhere and dark clouds rolling in.

A huge black crack hung above the sky, and with the naked eye, lavender mist could be seen seeping into the entire sky, bringing an ominous aura.

This is the 'God's Corridor', the road leading to an unknown land.

The entire mountain has been completely blocked. Now, in the field, except for the descendants of gods, there are ancient monks with successful cultivation. There is no weak person.

hum-

Suddenly, a crack in the air appeared with a flash of black light, and several black shadows appeared.

A group of strong men jumped up and took down several black shadows. They turned out to be several corpses. None of them had heads, only broken limbs and arms. It was impossible to tell who was who.

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became extremely depressing. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the black crack in the air.

puff!

The void shook violently, as if thin paper was torn, causing a dull sound like thunder.

A figure flew out, his battle suit was completely torn, his body was covered in blood, and he was holding a half-broken sword in his hand, having suffered serious injuries.

"Captain Han!"

In the crowd, Feng Yumu's face changed drastically, and he stood up and caught Han Jiao:

"Is it serious?"

"Not dead yet."

Han Jiao took two deep breaths, looking solemn.

"What is at the other end of the passage?"

"The land of all monsters, the demonic energy is rising to the sky. Not long after we entered, we encountered a big monster that had opened its consciousness. It wanted to protect the country."

Han Jiao's face was solemn. Without any delay, he immediately sent a transmission warning to the General Administration of Psychic Energy.

"Shenzang Realm?"

Feng Muyu's expression changed drastically when he heard this. This was not a joke, but a matter of life and death.

Once this evil is allowed to step out of the passage, the entire Shenzhou will be devastated.

"Immediately set up a spiritual formation to lock the entrance. Fortunately, the divine corridor has not yet fully opened, so it cannot pass through. We must do our best to drag it here until the guardian of the country comes."

"promise!"

Everyone took the order and left.
