Summary:

"Are you sure that doing this can really relieve my demonic body?"

Jingliu, with his eyes blindfolded, lay on the bed and spoke with some doubt.

"Why would I lie to you? Cut off your five senses, calm your mind, and raise your hands."

"What are you doing with your hands? I feel like something is wrong."

"It's an illusion caused by the demonic body. It means your mind is not calm enough."

"Really? Why do I feel like you are... woo..."

"It's a special treatment method. Stay calm and be patient. Would I lie to you?"

Chapter 1: As long as I can survive

The intermittent gasps sounded particularly harsh in the white room, like a worn-out blower being pressed down again and again, making a final hissing sound before falling apart under the weight.

Xu Nuo breathed hard. Even though his lungs and trachea felt as if they were being cut by a knife, and even though blood foam came out of his mouth with every breath, he still tried to breathe.

Because if you stop breathing you will die, and when you die there is nothing.

The ECG monitor placed at the bedside made a shrill beeping sound, but no one entered the ward to check on his condition because the doctor who was checking on him had just walked out of the ward.

His fragile body couldn't even receive first aid, and the slightest movement would break bones all over his body.

Death does not seem to be something far away for Xu Nuo, but an inevitable end and a fate that cannot be overcome.

There was no hatred or complaints, because those were meaningless things. After all, he had already vented those things more than ten years ago.

He howled hysterically, cursed, cried, and complained about the injustice of God, like a complete madman.

There is no point in doing this kind of thing, it will only make the already broken body even more unbearable and fragile.

ALS is a disease that no longer sounds so unfamiliar, but still brings endless despair to patients.

His vision was a little blurry. He seemed to see familiar figures and heard them calling him. In addition, he could also hear the sound of crying.

Who was that? My memory is a little fuzzy. They say a revolving lantern of memories will appear before a person dies. Why is my mind so empty and I can’t remember anything?

Perhaps it’s because I don’t have any memories worth remembering, because I have been lying on the white hospital bed since I can remember.

Death is better than nothing. It is a relief, both for myself and my parents.

What's the point of living with such a broken body?

Although he thought so in his heart, Xu Nuo still did not stop breathing. His breathing became heavier and heavier, and more and more blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Maybe he was just a little unwilling. Why should he die? Why couldn't he live? He just wanted to live, live at all costs. But all the living, he just wanted to live, that's all.

"It's bitter, it's sad..."

In a trance, Xu Nuo seemed to hear a voice ringing in his ears.

It was a very gentle, neutral voice, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

"Birth, aging, sickness and suffering all lead to death. If I grant you immortality, what will you be willing to give in return?"

He was neither excited nor ecstatic, Xu Nuo was just still trying hard to breathe.

Because he found that the pain like a sharp knife piercing his bones had disappeared, and he could breathe freely without having to endure the agony that felt like being cut by a thousand knives.

Xu Nuo didn't have any special thoughts, thinking that all this was just a dream before death.

What if I meet a god who has mercy on all living things and sees how hard I’m working and grants me eternal life?

What a joke, where in this world can there be such a good god?

It seemed that there was no response, and the familiar feeling of pain was inflicted on Xu Nuo again.

What the hell!

Xu Nuo couldn't help but curse out loud, where did this god come from, to be so petty?

I didn't scold him, I just ignored him, and he gave me a look.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Xu Nuo seemed to hear a chuckle, and then he felt a hand falling on him.

The existence's palm gently stroked Xu Nuo, and the pain in his body slowly began to ease. He felt indescribably relaxed and comfortable all over his body, as if he was about to ascend to heaven in broad daylight.

"It is painful and sorrowful. The pain has burned into your flesh, blood, bones, and soul. However, this is proof that you are alive. Since you are blessed with eternal life, you must suffer abundant pain."

“Is abundance also a kind of suffering?”

There was some doubt in Xu Nuo's words. No matter how you look at it, the word "abundance" has nothing to do with suffering, right?

The mysterious existence did not speak again, but just took his hand away. Then the knife-like pain came again, but Xu Nuo did not care about it at all and still breathed steadily and powerfully.

He seemed to feel the flesh and blood healing beneath his skin and his bones growing, and his fragile and weak body seemed to be becoming healthy again.

He had long been accustomed to pain. If he could survive, what did this little pain matter?

Just as the mysterious being said, this was indeed proof that he was alive. Only this feeling of pain could make him feel his own existence.

What's more, this is the pain that brings rebirth, and this is the new birth that brings joy to people.

But soon, Xu Nuo's expression changed, because he realized that the flesh and blood under the skin seemed to have its own consciousness. They wanted to drill out of this body and continue to spread and grow unscrupulously.

He coughed violently and spat out bloody granulation tissue from his mouth. The granulation tissue squirmed in his palm as if it had life.

So that's what abundance is...

At this moment, Xu Nuo realized what the other party meant by the suffering of abundance, and also realized that the other party was obviously not a kind-hearted god.

"It's an evil demon... But it doesn't matter. As long as I can stay alive, worshiping an evil demon is not a big deal."

Xu Nuo said this, put the flesh bud on the palm of his hand into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it again.

As he did this, the boiling blood, flesh and bones inside his body seemed to calm down. They were still growing, but after reaching a limit, they would die on their own and would not tear his body apart completely.

The pain became more intense, but Xu Nuo seemed to feel nothing.

"You have already obtained the form of endless life and are enjoying the bliss of eternal life. Why should you care about your form?"

As if unable to understand, the evil demon whose figure could not be seen clearly spoke.

"It's very simple. Living in my eyes is not the same as living in your eyes. I don't think turning into a lump of meat can be considered living. Thank you for giving me a second life, but how I live it is my own business."

"You just don't understand yet, and you don't comprehend yet. You don't understand the true meaning of life, and you don't understand what true abundance is. But sooner or later you will understand, and you will abandon this boring body, connect with my flesh and blood, and embark on the path of true eternity."

The unknown evil demon didn't seem to care, nor was he anxious. His voice gradually faded away, accompanied by the crisp sound of the traveling staff hitting the ground.

And then, endless darkness will promise to completely devour everything, until...

"Great, great, Jingliu, there is still a survivor here!"

The sound of crying with joy rang in his ears, and Xu Nuo was held in the arms of a girl with fox ears in a trance. In front of him, looking down at the two people hugging each other, was a tall girl.

She had long white hair and held a jade-colored sword in her hand. The scarlet eyes staring at him were as cold as ice.

Chapter 2 Rebirth

The fox girl is named Bai Heng, and the swordsman with white hair and red eyes is named Jing Liu. According to Bai Heng, the two of them belong to the Yunqi Army of Luofu Fairy Boat. Recently, there has been an organization of unknown origin on the Fairy Boat that has been misleading the outsiders to believe in the ancestor of longevity and plague, and promoting the miracle of longevity, which has attracted many admirers and also caused a lot of trouble. The Yunqi Army plans to investigate the origins of these people in order to respond.

All along, the people in these organizations have only been doing minor things, and many foreigners have only been defrauded of their money, but it has not caused too much chaos or loss.

However, there have been several disappearances recently, and things seem to be getting out of control, so Jingliu and Bai Heng came here to investigate secretly.

Unexpectedly, when they found a stronghold, they saw this scene: blood and corpses were everywhere, and the only living person was Xu Nuo.

"So, what exactly happened here, do you still remember it?"

Different from the lively, cheerful and somewhat outgoing Bai Heng, Jing Liu was like a piece of icy cold ice from beginning to end, his whole body exuding an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

While Bai Heng was chattering away explaining the situation to Xu Nuo, she did not completely relax her guard, but kept her hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to strike.

"Okay, don't be so serious Jingliu, he's just a child, isn't he? He's already very unfortunate, and what happened here definitely has nothing to do with him."

"Kid, who knows? There is a high probability that some kind of sacrificial ceremony for the ancestor of longevity, plague and disaster has been carried out here, and he does have the power of abundant destiny. You should have felt it too."

"Even if the power of the Fate of Plenty exists, it doesn't mean anything. Maybe it's the marks left on him by the person who performed the ritual, or maybe he is suitable for this fate. Our enemies have always been the Fate of Plenty, not all people who use the power of Plenty, right?"

Bai Heng said this, and Jing Liu fell into silence. She knew that what Bai Heng said was not wrong. In Luofu Danding Division, there are many immortal boat people walking on the path of abundance. Not all those who believe in the power of abundance are unforgivable evildoers. There are also many noble people who want to cure diseases and save lives.

It is even said that the Hanquan School, which now lays the foundation for the entire Xianzhou medical system, was once a believer in Shouwenhuozu, and the Medicine King Secret was their predecessor.

If one only walks on the path of destiny for a long time, he will inevitably be affected by it, and the wrong pursuit and understanding of eternal life will lead to disaster.

This was the case with the secret teachings of the Medicine King in the past, and now, apparently someone is secretly preparing to make a move, and is even doing such an unforgivable thing on the Immortal Boat.

Jing Liu looked at everything in front of her. She didn't know whether this was a special case or whether similar sacrifices had been carried out in secret many times.

Xu Nuo nestled motionlessly in the arms of the fox-eared girl, wisely choosing to remain silent.

His thoughts were a little confused now, but relying on the conversation between the two girls in front of him, he more or less understood the current situation.

Abundance, longevity, plague, disaster, sacrifice, and fairy boat?

Sure enough, that mysterious and unknown existence was not a kind-hearted god, but some kind of evil and twisted existence.

And the place where I am now is probably no longer the place I was familiar with.

Does this count as... traveling through time?

And the last words that evil god said to him...

He wanted to recall the conversation between himself and the unknown being, but Xu Nuo only felt a sharp pain in his brain, and his mind went blank and he couldn't remember anything.

His painful appearance obviously caused Bai Heng's concern.

The fox girl patted his back, stroked the back of his head, and massaged his temples.

"Are you okay? Are you okay? Don't be nervous. Your sister Jingliu was just joking. She won't do anything to you."

At a time like this, shouldn't I say something?

For example, showing an expression of extreme fear and terror?

Or maybe just act coquettishly towards this fox-eared girl?

I always feel that the look in Miss Jingliu's eyes when she looks at me seems to be getting more and more severe.

Because he was facing away from each other, Xu Nuo couldn't actually see Jing Liu's face.

But the other party's presence was so strong that Xu Nuo felt as if a sharp knife was hovering over his heart.

He moved his hands slightly so that he could better hug the fox girl in front of him, as if this would give himself a little sense of security.

Then he discovered that Jingliu's gaze also moved with him.

Is he worried that his companions might be attacked suddenly, so he is always watching and being alert?

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all over, we are here, no one will hurt you."

Xu Nuo's reaction also aroused the maternal light in Bai Heng's heart. Looking at the gentle expression on the fox girl's face, Jing Liu's tense face gradually relaxed.

Maybe I was indeed worrying too much. I am just an unfortunate child who was caught up in this incident.

As Jingliu was thinking this, he heard a series of footsteps behind him and a group of armored soldiers walked in.

After seeing Jingliu and Bai Heng, they first bowed their heads respectfully.

"Meet the Sword Master, and Lord Bai Heng."

"Come with me and investigate the scene first."

Jing Liu said this and walked out of the house holding the sword. Watching the cold female swordsman leave, Xu Nuo also breathed a sigh of relief.

The sense of oppression that this woman brought to him was too strong. She was like a peerless sword. His eyes would be stung just by looking at her.

"Jingliu is not usually like this, but since it involves the plague and ancestor's death, plus so many people died here, she is in a bad mood. I hope you can understand."

"What exactly is the ancestor of longevity and plague that you are talking about?"

Xu Nuo spoke tentatively. The childish voice made him feel a little uncomfortable. Although the language spoken was a completely unfamiliar one, he felt extremely familiar with it.

At this moment, this body seems to be just a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. Although still weak, it is much stronger than the body in his previous life.

After regaining his new life, Xu Nuo couldn't help but want to shout, jump and run.
