GBP Chapter 337 It's not about training the mind, it's about training me.
Chapter 337 It's not about training the mind, it's about training me.
"Hey, isn't this a foul? We're all martial artists, let's settle this with our skills. Instead of resorting to this kind of mental training when you can't beat someone, you're just torturing them to death. That's just too shameless."
Xu Ning immediately understood what was going on.
This is clearly a forced simulation of the mechanism of reincarnation, setting various harsh conditions to make Lei's film feel the power of wear and tear over endless years, thereby seeing whether her will and desire can still shine in the wear and tear of the river of time.
Despite the rapid passage of time, Xu Ning still felt a sense of boredom and...cruelty.
In this world, Lei Movie has lost all authority, as well as his invincible physique and martial arts skills. He can only go out to work every day, and even then, he is often hungry.
The entire wasteland was deserted, and no one would ever pass through it.
This solitary life seemed destined to end from the very beginning; each mundane day was a repetition of the previous one, without beginning or end.
Such a life is devoid of happiness, and the poor souls living in it cannot even utter a sound when they want to cry out.
"The power of wear and tear is stronger and more terrifying than this. If you can't even withstand this, don't talk about progress and change."
"General Thunder said coldly."
Xu Ning retorted, "But your stagnant scene doesn't give anyone a chance to change; it's just a pure erosion of will. This isn't wear and tear; it's torture. If someone else had passed through her life, her future would definitely be different and more hopeful."
“Or it could be even more desperate.” General Thunder gave a completely different answer.
Xu Ning shook his head and said, "I don't agree with your conclusion."
General Thunder snorted, "Then we'll see!"
Lei Yingdian's life came to an end quickly. When he reappeared in the space, there was a hint of fatigue on his face.
At that moment, General Thunder's blade arrived once more.
This battle was slightly more arduous than the previous one, but not by much.
While General Thunder was still recovering, Xu Ning asked Lei Yingdian, "How is it? At this rate, it's likely to get increasingly difficult later on..."
Lei Yingdian nodded and replied, "It's alright, I will prove it to her."
"It's warm and familial, lively and bustling."
General Thunder's longsword once again sliced through the curtain.
"Ugh, this plot is a bit... Holy crap, what's going on?"
Before Xu Ning could react, he had already hugged the swaddled Lei Yingdian.
"They actually included me in the storyline?"
Xu Ning gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll show you how I love my child."
In this lifetime, Xu Ning exhausted almost all his abilities to give the little girl beside him as much care and warmth as possible.
However, unexpectedly, after the events of this lifetime ended, it seemed that Ray's films were more affected than in the previous lifetime.
Although Lei ultimately killed General Lei, the fatigue seemed to have manifested in her swordsmanship, making it less decisive.
Is it because of accumulated fatigue?
Before Xu Ning could figure this out, the Thunder General, who had reappeared in form, once again wielded his longsword and changed the world.
"Entangled by love and desire, deeply affectionate and obsessed."
Xu Ning was immediately startled upon hearing this; this proposition was quite extraordinary.
If it were like the last world, with just me and Lei Yingdian, then things would get really out of hand.
I'm destined to die in this space of consciousness!
Before Xu Ning could utter a single word of protest, he was startled to find himself lying under a large quilt.
And on her own body, she could clearly feel a wet body sliding up from below.
It's a shadow.
The figure with disheveled purple hair squinted her eyes, her gaze alluring as she breathed heavily.
"This time...this time it's my turn to be on top..."
Xu Ning was completely bewildered. What about this time?
I haven't even mentally prepared myself to protest yet, and according to you, this has already happened once?
How come my damn guilt just disappeared all of a sudden after this was arranged?
"The curtains are made of nanmu wood, and the quilts are embroidered with mandarin ducks."
Red candles burn warmly through the long night, and gentle songs fill the room with fragrance.
Xu Ning held Lei Yingying in his arms, gently stroking her purple hair with his fingers, and sighed softly, "I know this is all a dream. Even if you wake up and I'm still me, you might not even remember anything that's happening now. But I still want to say, having gotten used to your serious tone of voices, hearing you sing suddenly feels really interesting..."
Lei Ying lifted her head from Xu Ning's chest and asked in surprise, "Where did I sing?"
"Huh?" Xu Ning feigned surprise, "Weren't you singing just now? It sounded so pleasant to me..."
"You..." Lei Yingdian bit Xu Ning's shoulder in embarrassment.
Xu Ning chuckled, turned over, and whispered as his tongue brushed against Lei Yingdian's earlobe, "Ying, sing a few more songs for your brother Xu Ning..."
In this lifetime, Xu Ning and Lei Yingdian were inseparable, spending almost every day and every night together.
Every day she goes to bed early and falls asleep late.
Pearls flow and jade turns, dew comes and frost comes, a lifetime passes by in a flash.
When Xu Ning opened his eyes again, the fragrance of the beauty still seemed to linger in his arms, but Xu Ning knew clearly that he had been sitting cross-legged there the whole time, and there wasn't even a single wrinkle in the clothes on his chest.
Those passionate loves that could melt solid ice are nothing but empty bubbles, easily shattered into tiny shards of ice by the slightest breeze.
However, this lifetime seems to have a more profound impact on Lei's films.
General Lei Dian's sword strikes were as smooth and steady as the previous three, without the slightest hesitation.
Lei's film, however, was struggling against the same attack and was on the verge of collapse.
Looking at Lei Yingdian's figure, Xu Ning finally understood what General Lei Dian had said at the beginning.
Sometimes "gaining" doesn't necessarily mean hope, especially when you know you'll eventually lose it.
The more you gain then, the more you will feel the pain of being torn apart.
"So this is what wear and tear is. What you gain will eventually be lost, and what is beautiful will not last. I finally understand why you are so persistent in pursuing eternity."
Xu Ning looked up and shouted towards Lei Yingdian's back: "Shadow..."
Lei Yingdian trembled suddenly, and the long sword in his hand was almost knocked away by General Leidian's naginata.
Xu Ning liked to call himself this when he was in the throes of passion.
"Shadow, do you still remember every moment of those past experiences? Actually, it doesn't matter whether you remember or not. Even if it was just a fleeting moment, at the moment it happened, you heard it, saw it, and felt it. That fleeting moment is eternity."
"Respect and enjoy every moment, for then every moment is an eternity worth remembering. The past cannot be changed, but the future can be pursued. Remember the dream you promised your people, and move forward without wavering!"
Every word Xu Ning uttered seemed to unlock the chains binding Lei Yingdian, and her hand once again gripped "Dream One Heart" tightly.
And “Dream One” seems to be responding to Ying’s change, with light flashing on the blade, making her hand more stable with each movement.
General Thunder was killed once again without any suspense.
In every subsequent incarnation, the scene could no longer shake the mind of the Thunder General.
Xu Ning's performance, however, secretly alarmed General Lei Dian.
In this space of consciousness, although the flow of time has been stopped, the experiences of each lifetime can be truly felt.
It's understandable that Lei's films could persevere through these centuries of cycles, but it's truly incomprehensible that Xu Ning could remain untainted as if he were living in a beautiful dream.
Xu Ning was actually starting to feel a little agitated at this moment.
Although each encounter with the movie "Shadow" represents a novel experience, and in one life I even indulged in the pleasures of being an emperor who could take whatever he wanted, being a bandit leader in another life also indirectly satisfied my little dark dream, and I did some evil things to the movie.
But even though I now know that time here doesn't count towards real time, it's been such a long, long time that I'm almost forgetting why I came here, or what I still have to do.
However, Xu Ning gradually realized that the battle was nearing its end.
General Thunder truly deserves the title of "Eternal Guardian." Even after so much time has passed, her will and body seem to be exactly the same as when she first entered this consciousness space.
However, because she was a tool designed to resist wear and tear, she ultimately lacked the pursuit and expectation of change. This resulted in her swordsmanship, despite its many variations, remaining unchanged for hundreds of years.
Not to mention that he could easily break through Lei Ying's sword technique, Xu Ning now thought that even if he were to join the fray, he could at least maintain a stalemate.
"You have fought countless battles without ever being defeated. You have never wavered in the face of any eternal enemy. Now, let us face the final enemy of eternity!"
The naginata in General Raiden's hand turned into lightning and disappeared, and his whole body gradually floated into the air.
The triple Raiba pattern rose up behind her as a huge halo, and a pair of enormous, open-eyed hands held her feet. Lightning transformed into a huge, sword-wielding arm, and several other arms on the other side had eyes in their palms, and even held a demon-slaying pestle to cut down evil spirits.
"Makutsu no Mikoto" is the strongest form displayed by the puppet that acts on behalf of the Thunder God.
"Xu Ning, step back a bit more," Lei Yingdi instructed Xu Ning.
Xu Ning readily retreated to a distance, asking, "Is this the end?"
Lei Yingdian nodded, "It's coming to an end, and I will be the beginning of the next one."
"You now possess the true heart of Thor, and you are qualified to witness the true power of a single, thoughtless strike. Watch closely, you only have one chance."
Lei Yingdian, carrying the words "Dream with One Heart," slowly walks towards the version of himself who once faced disaster and lost everything, "With just this one cut, sever the past."
Purple shadows flickered across the sky, and countless bolts of lightning seemed to have found their master, constantly showering the shadows with lightning.
Xu Ning finally saw what "a single, thoughtless strike" truly meant.
Without thought or intention, this is a pure strike imbued with the power of divine punishment, like a thunderous bolt of lightning, a destructive strike imbued with new life.
"It's all over now, you win."
General Lei glanced at Xu Ning, then at the knife in Lei Yingdian's hand.
“I sensed a power beyond my comprehension from you.”
Lei Yingdian nodded. "Perhaps it's because I'm starting to understand the true meaning of things now, and since just now, this dream-filled heart has been constantly giving me new strength."
General Thunder bowed slightly and said, "From now on, I will still be your assistant. I will become your shadow, just as you were once a real shadow."
Lei Yingdong said seriously, "Not just shadows, we are one... huh?"
Before Lei finished speaking, the "Dream One Heart" in her hand suddenly turned a beautiful color like cherry blossom petals.
"Hi everyone, Shadow, and all the witnesses here."
Upon hearing this voice, Lei's body trembled violently. He raised the dream in his hand with all his might and asked, seemingly in disbelief, "Really?"
"It's me. I'm so happy to be able to talk to you like this. You've finally made it this far."
"I impulsively entrusted Inazuma to you. You must have had a very difficult journey, and there must have been many times when you wanted to cry!"
Lei Yingdian stubbornly denied it, saying, "...Don't underestimate me."
"It's okay if you want to cry. I've left you a gift. Plant it before my last bit of consciousness disappears. And you guys who got a lot of benefits over there, come and help me out!"
Xu Ning glanced at General Thunder to the side.
General Thunder crossed his arms and said coldly, "What? Did you think you were calling me?"
Xu Ning scratched his cheek and walked over to "Dream Together" to explain, "To be honest, I'm actually a victim too..."
Raiden laughed and said, "I didn't intend for her to bury the seeds with you, so why are you so busy shirking responsibility? Anyway, thank you..."
The thank you was a bit abrupt, leaving Xu Ning somewhat bewildered.
What are you thanking me for? For what I did for Ying?
At this point, Xu Ning had no time to think further; Lei Yingdian had already reached out and tossed the seed that Zhen had given into the soil.
Xu Ning tilted the Dust Concealment Gourd, pouring a stream of clear wine onto the ground, where it then seeped in.
If I remember correctly, this Pillar God Sakura quite likes her own sake.
Sure enough, the soil loosened, and a green sprout emerged, then grew rapidly at a visible speed.
Xu Ning continued pouring the wine without stopping.
However, despite the wine dripping from his hand, Xu Ning sensed that time around him was beginning to become disordered.
Xu Ning knew in his heart that the future was slipping away from the past.
The sacred cherry tree of the past is being planted at this moment, and then we will go back to the past to save all of Inazuma.
Thinking about this, Xu Ning finally understood why there was no trace of the Divine Cherry Tree in Narukami Shrine in his dream of the past. It was because the Divine Cherry Tree was only planted now.
"If I could go back now, could I change the outcome?"
