Chapter 434 Reunion with Fushe
Chapter 434 Reunion with Fushe
Xiao shook his head slightly as he looked at Xu Ning's self-reproachful expression.
"Perhaps their fate was already predetermined, and you simply cannot change it."
Xu Ning argued, "No, perhaps. I did try to make some changes, very minor ones, but they did have some impact on later generations. Although it might not be my doing, it certainly did..."
Xiao finished his drink and slowly stood up, leaning on the large rock for support.
"If you want to prove what you said, there is still a way."
Xu Ning also stood up. "What method?"
"Find the place I just visited, find the remnant of Fushe, and see if he recognizes you. But the chances are slim, since he doesn't even seem to recognize me."
Xiao slowly walked towards the gap in the portal that Xu Ning had opened. "We Yakshas have a special talent. It is said that we will see our destiny one day, and the arrival of that moment will be the final end of our fate."
“Back then, Fushe said he saw his destiny, so in his final days, after settling everything, he disappeared.”
Xu Ning silently took a sip of wine. Did Fu She see that his final resting place was beneath the giant abyss of layered rocks, which is why he had been lingering in this area?
Until the Black Tide struck, he clearly knew what he needed to do in the end, and so he and the Thousand Rock soldiers went on their final journey together.
Just as Xu Ning and Xiao entered the doorway, Ye Lan fired two arrows, blasting the two Fools in front of her into a shower of water.
"You two are here too. It seems there will be some new monsters appearing here."
Xu Ning asked Ye Lan, "How come the Fools are here?"
Ye Lan put away her bow and arrows and shook her head.
"It is also something similar to an illusion, but it is not just an empty form. Even their attack habits and the use of elemental power are perfectly displayed. It should be the power of the Taiwei Instrument Plate."
Xu Ning paused in his drink, "You found the Taiwei Instrument Plate?"
Yan Fei pointed upwards and said, "It's right there!"
Xu Ning looked up and smiled wryly, "So the real thing is this big? The one I saw in the illusion was very small."
This is no longer just a Taiweiyi Pan; it's practically a circular Taiweiyi Pan mountain peak.
The enormous instrument panel against the empty background exudes an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"So, those Fools were also illusions?"
Yan Fei nodded and said, "When I came in just now, it seemed that the scene I had experienced was read. It was a group of thieves who had taken some jobs from villains to stop me from investigating a certain case. It was exactly the same as the situation back then, and even the personnel configuration was exactly the same."
Yelan added, "Me too. It was the Fools who appeared. They were people I met during a mission. I can even remember their names. It's exactly the same as before."
"Now that the two of you have come in, I wonder whose memories you will read and what kind of opponent you will face."
As the group was talking, the environment in front of them seemed to change.
A voice suddenly sounded.
"None of you demons will get out of here."
Xiao's expression shifted, and he exchanged a glance with Xu Ning. The two of them simultaneously called out the same name.
"Brother Fushe!"
Although they didn't know whose memories this environment had read, Xu Ning and Xiao were both very excited to see Fushe again.
However, the lightning instantly coalesced and launched an attack on everyone.
Xiao stepped forward. "Fushe, wake up. The demon is gone. I am Jinpeng."
The voice sneered, "You filthy demonic beasts, you have corrupted my mind. So many people have died because of you! Die!"
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the void, forming a claw-like shape as it lunged toward the demon's head.
Just as Xiao was about to raise his gun to fight, Xu Ning reacted quickly and pulled Xiao back.
“You’re already so badly hurt, don’t try to be brave. I’ll go and see if he recognizes me.”
Xiao knew this might be the last time he would see Fushe, and said to Xu Ning, "Fushe's karmic burdens are deep, and it is very likely that he will not remember anything. If that is the case, I... hope you can let me send him off on his final journey."
Xu Ning nodded, summoned his lightning and rock elemental forms to support Xiao, and then walked forward carrying his wine gourd.
"Brother Yaksha, you said you've forgotten many things. Do you still remember the brothers who fought alongside you? Liaoyuan, Qingming, Boyang, Hulan... and who am I?"
The voice, lurking in the shadows, hesitated slightly before asking, "Xu Ning, you... weren't you missing?"
Ye Lan and Yan Fei were surprised to hear Xu Ning's name from this space. They looked at each other in astonishment, feeling an immense sense of awe for the space they were in for the first time.
When Xiao heard Fu She call out Xu Ning's name but forget about himself, he looked somewhat sad.
Xu Ning was also extremely shocked when he heard this.
However, he could not be certain that he had actually returned to five hundred years ago, since the floating house in front of him could be an illusion created by this space reading his memories (whether true or false).
But this did not prevent Xu Ning and Fu She from communicating.
"Yes, I went through that door and got lost in the river of time. When I woke up, it was five hundred years later."
Fushe's voice lowered, "Five hundred years have already passed? Have you gone out to see? Is Liyue... well?"
Xu Ning was surprised that Fu She was still worried about the rampage of the demons and the safety of Li Yue. His voice choked slightly, and he quickly took a sip of wine to calm himself down.
"Ah, very good, better than the past few thousand years. The Emperor, the Immortals, the Yakshas, and the people of Liyue have not let down everyone's sacrifices and continue to protect the prosperity of Liyue."
"Heh, that's good."
Fushe slowly revealed his form in the void, showing his unique four arms with thunder patterns.
"After you disappeared, an unprecedented giant serpent suddenly appeared underground. It broke the original seal and brought new monsters. Without your wine, the karmic corruption spread again, and many people died. We completely gave up the idea of going back. We used all our strength to seal them all underground."
“Boyang was always afraid that I would die first, leaving him to suffer alone, but ever since I drank your wine, I’ve always felt that fate is somewhat ambiguous, and I don’t know when it will end. Now that I see you all, I finally know what I’ve been waiting for. Jinpeng, have you come to take me away?”
Xiao was moved and said, "Fushe, you recognize me?"
Fushe's gaze did not seem to linger on Xiao's face, but rather swept over the rock elemental, Yelan, and Yanfei beside him.
“Jinpeng, Minu, Fanan, Yingda, you have all come.”
