Xu Que retreated, ending the kiss.
“Are you crazy?” He stared at Xuanyuan Wanrong.
“Eh?” Xuanyuan Wanrong was surprised. From Xu Que’s expression, she could see that he didn’t seem to like her.
“That didn’t work?” Xuanyuan Wanrong’s brows knit in concentration and confusion, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger. She clenched her small fists and said coldly, “The website has deceived me.”
Xu Que rolled his eyes, speechless.
“Xu… Xu Que…” Lin Yuxi suddenly called Xu Que, her voice trembling.
Xu Que was stunned and turned quickly to look at Lin Yuxi. She was covering her forehead with one hand. Her face was pale, and she seemed to be in a lot of pain.
“What’s wrong?” Xu Que asked.
“My… my head hurts a lot. It’s killing me,” Lin Yuxi said with much difficulty. “It seems that there are a lot of strange messages in my head. There are…there are Demons, there are fairies, there is a lot of blood. I seem to be in danger…”
WHOOSH!
Suddenly, she abruptly raised her head and looked at Xu Que, her face full of astonishment. “Xu Que?”
“Ah?” Xu Que was a little dazed. At that moment, Lin Yuxi seemed to have changed. Just a second ago, she had been panicking and having a headache. Now, she seemed very calm and her eyes were clear.
“Oh…” Suddenly, Lin Yuxi laughed bitterly, with a hint of self-deprecation, and said in a joyful voice, “I didn’t think that I’d ever see you again before dying… Hey, I must be dreaming.”
As she spoke, she looked at her surrounding environment and seemed to feel that something was wrong, but she didn’t give it much thought and attributed it to her dreaming.
“Forget it. Even if seeing you is only a dream, I have no regrets left. The Earth Continent is collapsing, and many people are in trouble. I thought that with a piece of enlightenment, I would be qualified to be back at your side again, but there was another twist of fate, eventually I… ”
CLICK! CLICK!
Before Lin Yuxi could finish speaking, her voice broke off into a noise similar to the static of an electric current. Following which, Lin Yuxi’s body in the car stiffened in place and became illusory like everyone else’s.
“This…” Xuanyuan Wanrong was shocked by Lin Yuxi’s sudden change.
Xu Que himself was also dumbfounded. But from listening to Lin Yuxi’s last few sentences, he had gotten several clues.
He was very shocked. Previously, the Lin Yuxi that he had seen was definitely from his world of memory, the Lin Yuxi from the school campus.
However, the Lin Yuxi he’d seen after she’d said that she had a headache, the Lin Yuxi now, seemed to have become the Lin Yuxi from the Earth Continent.
When Xu Que had returned to the Earth Continent, he had met Lin Yuxi again. She’d been taken from Earth by a superior, met Xu Que, and later left on her own, seeking the enlightenment left behind by her master.
Xu Que had also believed that he had let go of his feelings and grudges from back then, and he hadn’t gone to find her. He’d only sent people from the Heavenly Palace Academy to protect her secretly. After returning to the Heaven Continent, he’d never seen her again.
He hadn’t expected that he would meet her now like this. It seemed beyond belief. Lin Yuxi’s consciousness seemed to have been transmitted directly to the Lin Yuxi in this world of memory.
And from her last words, it wasn’t difficult to infer that she was facing a life-and-death crisis.
In addition, the Earth Continent had collapsed, proving that what Mo Junchen had said was correct. The Heaven Continent was a giant boat bound by shackles, and, once the shackles were unlocked, the Xuanhuang Continent and the Earth Continent would both collapse. Only by fleeing to the Heaven Continent and jumping on this giant boat would they remain alive.
“There is big trouble. Sh*t, why did this d*mn Heavenly Stone of Taiyi crap have to happen at this time…”
Xu Que felt like his head was about to explode. The Heaven Continent was in trouble, and he didn’t know what the situation was with Jiang Hongyan and the others. In addition, he had now learned that Lin Yuxi was in danger on the Earth Continent. These things were all interlinked.
Most important, he was still trapped in the world of memory of the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, and there was no way for him to leave.
“Well, there are only two of us now,” Xuanyuan Wanrong said with no expression on her face.
Xu Que suddenly quivered and stared at Xuanyuan Wanrong. “You…what do you want to do?”
“Nothing. Since you have tried your best and there is no way for you to like me, let’s just wait for deaths together,” Xuanyuan Wanrong said indifferently.
Xu Que was relieved. He had been really afraid that Xuanyuan Wanrong would find a more drastic method. If she’d proposed that they start getting it on in the car, he didn’t know if he had the moral courage to refuse.
Most men were no different from beasts, and there were times when it was difficult to make a choice. After all, not everyone could be like that famous gentleman, Taishang Buy.
TSK! TSK! TSK!
“You worry too much. Who said that we would definitely die?” Xu Que looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong.
“Are you sure?” Xuanyuan Wanrong’s eyes lit up.
“I said before that I have a way out, but you didn’t let me finish talking and forcefully kissed me. You d*mn hooligan!” As Xu Que spoke, he rolled his eyes at Xuanyuan Wanrong.
Xuanyuan Wanrong suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and she had an unprecedented urge to beat someone up. But she suppressed this impulse and said in a low voice, “This world of memory is about to collapse. If we don’t pass the relationship tribulations, it is very likely that the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi will by default assume it has failed. Are you sure you can control the implications of this?”
“Yes, it will be fine.” Xu Que smiled confidently.
The sound of a System prompt appeared in his mind, indicating that the prohibition was about to be lifted in advance.
The System had detected that the reason that everything had been going haywire was that the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi had been impacted by external forces, which had caused the world of memory to be affected. This might’ve had something to do with the Heaven Continent’s shackles breaking, a momentary impact that had caused the prohibitions of the world of memory to be destroyed.
Because of this, the difficulty of lifting the prohibition was now greatly reduced, and it could be cracked directly in only a few hours.
“Soon? How soon?” Xuanyuan Wanrong was stunned and disbelieving.
PAH!
Xu Que smiled slightly and snapped his fingers. “Now!”
BOOM!
The next moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded all around, and the surroundings outside the car suddenly fell away swiftly like a painting that had hung high on the wall.
Following which, the car that the two of them had been sitting in also began to disintegrate and break down into small particles.
Immediately, the environment outside the two people disappeared, and their surroundings became a boundless white world of light and shadows.
“This…” Xuanyuan Wanrong’s face was full of shock and disbelief.
Ever since the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi’s relationship tribulations had been around, no one had ever been able to control them, and no one had ever been able to escape by trickery.
But now Xu Que had actually done it, and they were actually out of that world of memory.
“How did you do it?” Xuanyuan Wanrong looked at Xu Que in surprise.
“By relying on this!” Xu Que tapped his finger on his head.
Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned. “By relying on your melon head?”
Xu Que rolled his eyes again. “This is called wisdom. By relying on my wisdom, do you understand?”
“It’s hard to believe!” Xuanyuan Wanrong shook her head and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. “Since you have been able to crack the tribulations, then I don’t have to worry about the next level.”
“Ah?” Xu Que suddenly became surprised. “What are you talking about? The next level?”
“What are you asking? The first level involves going through your world of memory, then the next level will naturally involve going through my world of memory. Although I don’t know how you restored your memory, I don’t recommend that you help me restore mine. The situation could become messy.”
Xuanyuan Wanrong looked at Xu Que seriously and said solemnly, “Remember, don’t try to restore my memory, and don’t tell me anything about me. You just need to crack it like last time and pass the relationship tribulations.”
“What? Who cares about cracking these god d*mn tribulations? I mean, how can there be a next level? The priority now is to return to the Heaven Continent!” Xu Que immediately became anxious.
He’d thought that by lifting the prohibition, he could immediately return to the Heaven Continent.
Now that the Heaven Continent was in deep water and scorching fire, he was very worried about Jiang Hongyan and the others. Furthermore, Lin Yuxi was still on the Earth Continent and was in danger. As someone he’d known well and had a past narrative with, he couldn’t justify not saving her.
But at this critical moment, there was actually the next level of the relationship tribulations to go through?
“System!” Xu Que immediately shifted his thoughts, calling out to the System.
BOOM!
However, before he was able to access the System, a strong pulling feeling suddenly came from all directions and covered his whole body.
The bodies of Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong were instantly torn into pieces and turned into two streams of light, dissipating into the vast white space.
Not long after, the vast white space flashed and turned into the scenery of green mountains, clear waters, the intoxication of a beautiful spring day, and a vast world.
There was a towering mountain with a stone ladder leading upward.
At the top of the stone ladder, there was a mountain gate. There was a stone tablet at the entrance of the mountain gate. Three large characters were written in bold on it: Heavenly Palace Academy.
Xu Que was wearing a black robe and carrying a purple, gold, and black stick. He stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at this beautiful scene, with an ugly expression on his face.
He was back, back on the Heaven Continent, and all his cultivation had been restored to its peak state.
But the problem was that he’d returned to the Heaven Continent tens of thousands of years ago. This was the world of memory of Xuanyuan Wanrong.
“Sh*t. Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, if I don’t throw you into a latrine once I finally get home, then my surname is not Xu.” Xu Que’s heart was raging with fury.
He didn’t like the feeling of being controlled, especially by a piece of rock.
DING! At this time, a clear System prompt sounded in Xu Que’s mind. “Welcome the return of the Host!”
Hearing this familiar System sound, Xu Que didn’t have to call out. He knew that the original acting tough System was back, not the replicated version of the System.
Because of this, he felt a little more stable.
DING! “It is detected that the host had previously temporarily disconnected from the System. The reason was that the System level was too low and unable to resist the God’s strength, hence the host was isolated. The System could only use a loophole to send a replicated version of the System to help the host.”
“To prevent this situation from occurring again, it is recommended that the host work hard, continue to act tough, and upgrade the level of the System as soon as possible.”
The System said a bunch of things in succession.
Xu Que spread his hands helplessly. It was blaming him for its low level?
However, it wasn’t that he didn’t care about upgrading the System now. At this time, his first priority was to lift the prohibitions of the relationship tribulations as soon as possible and return to the Heaven Continent.
He thought long and hard about it and prepared to communicate with the System.
DING!
Suddenly, the System prompt sounded again.
“Due to the influence of the God’s strength, the System and the host are temporarily disconnected. Although this is because the System level is too low, the action of the God’s strength could also be regarded as a provocation to the System. The host is angry, and the System is even angrier.”
HUH?
Xu Que was dumbfounded when he heard this. Was the System throwing a temper tantrum?
Sh*t, this was shocking news.
DING! “According to special System regulations, the host’s current surroundings are in a virtual prohibited world. In view of the high level of strength in this world, in order to ensure the survival of the host, all goods in the System store will be provided free of charge, and the revenge mechanism and other functions will be activated for free until you leave this world.”
