He also noticed something was wrong with him, but he didn't know where it was.
The fatigue that seemed to have accumulated for a long time suddenly burst out and could not be suppressed, or it could be said that it had been suppressed to the point where it could no longer continue.
He seemed to have returned to six years ago. The world was filled with the sound of rain. He did not hold an umbrella and stood soaked in the rain. But no matter how hard he punished himself, the most precious things that had been lost could not be recovered. coming.
Chu Zihang suddenly had an enlightenment.
That's right...
It was not just two failures, but something born from the heart, six years of accumulated fatigue, so tired that it seemed like my heart could no longer beat.
The fear and powerlessness that had been suppressed in my heart finally came out.
He once thought that he had driven away powerlessness and cowardice from his life.
But when he faced the gods again, he realized that the powerlessness had always been rooted in his heart, and he was just waiting for the opportunity to explode.
He is far from as powerful as he thought.
But it’s far from the point of giving up!
The warrior who had a new understanding of himself regrouped and took the second and third steps out of a world filled with the sound of rain.
"Let's continue."
Chu Zihang clenched the handle of the knife and looked out the car window at the black shadows that gathered around him again.
He is his son, and in order to protect the most precious thing, even death is not terrible.
"Oh, this is my junior brother!" Fingel sat firmly in the driver's seat without any sign of moving.
Xia Mi said suspiciously: "Brother Fingel, where did you go before?"
Chu Zihang also looked over.
Fingel disappeared without a trace at some point before. Although this guy couldn't be of much help if he was present, his and Xia Mi's Word Spirits were enough to clear the place. The key to dealing with Loki was also the "scabbard".
"I'm going to investigate the enemy's situation!" Fingel looked serious.
"?"×2
"How can I still lie to you?"
"?"×2
"What I said is true! Liars are just puppies!"
"?"×2
The cheerful atmosphere in the van relieved a bit of depression, and the three of them didn't even pay attention to the black shadows surrounding them.
"We need to find a way to break the situation." Chu Zihang whispered, "Otherwise, the same process will be repeated every time. The most important thing now is Kungunil, who must win."
"You still can't use this thing?" Fingel pointed to the scabbard on his knee.
Chu Zihang shook his head: "I can feel the existence of its spirit, but I cannot awaken the spirit of the scabbard."
The core of alchemical weapons is spirit, and spirit is the key to building the alchemical field.
Fingel scratched his head, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a look."
Chu Zihang handed the scabbard to Fengel.
He suddenly remembered that this guy belonged to the vice-principal, and the vice-principal was the secret party's exclusive great alchemist.
Maybe this guy can really...
Fingel squinted and looked towards the gap in the scabbard. After looking at it for a while, he put the scabbard to his ear and tapped the scabbard in a professional way to identify watermelons.
"It's really mysterious. I can't tell." He sighed sincerely and handed the scabbard back to Chu Zihang.
Chu Zihang's face was expressionless.
It's my own fault for having expectations for this guy, I can't blame him.
"But..." Fingel seemed to have thought of something, "I personally think the key to using this scabbard is hidden in the last words of Norns."
"In the last words?" Chu Zihang whispered.
"If I guessed correctly, the secret key that guy was talking about is something similar to the dragon script. The dragon script is the key to using the spirit of speech, so the secret key is the key to opening the door of power. The Norns were a prehistoric civilization that used
The power is different from that of Longwen. To awaken this weapon, you naturally need a different key. After all, the keyholes don’t match up!”
Fingel continued,
"You have all learned how to extract keywords. The guy said a lot, but the most important things are two points. One is to help us refine our spiritual power, and the other is the soul."
"Needless to say the former, junior brother, you are the first to feel it, and the key is the second one. Norns calls their ability [Heart Wall]. From a literal meaning, it is a kind of power that originates from the soul.
Strength, maybe you should dig into it from this angle."
Chu Zihang pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Brother, you summed it up very well. Maybe the power of the mind is the key to breaking the situation."
"But the power of the mind is too vague, isn't it?" Xia Mi complained.
"I don't know the specifics, but I think it has something to do with spiritual power, otherwise Norns wouldn't have gone out of their way to improve our spiritual power." Chu Zihang guessed.
"Psychic power is mental power?" Xia Mi frowned.
"It's definitely not that simple, but there must be a connection. I will make more attempts." Chu Zihang thought for a while and said, "Brother, we don't have to fight, let's run and buy more time."
"Yes, yes, but you have to go down and clear the field first. The Kassel Racing God is already online."
When Chu Zihang got out of the car, the world was still still. The suspended raindrops were strangely frozen in the sky, but the distance between these black shadows and the van seemed to be closer than last time.
He frowned, as if he had guessed something in his mind, but had no time to think about it.
After clearing the way with [Jun Yan], the van sped away.
The sound of the roaring engine was extremely conspicuous in the deserted city. Countless black figures peeked out from all corners of the city, and pairs of golden eyes locked on the vans running rampant in the driveway.
Fingel glanced outside the car. He had already increased the speed of the car to 230 kilometers per hour, but more and more figures were chasing after him outside, peeking at the fresh flesh and blood inside the car through the still rain curtain.
Mercury-silver light shines into the car from all directions, and countless dark shadows are clustered around the van in the light, like hyenas preparing to hunt on the grassland.
"It's really difficult to deal with."
Fingel continued to speed up, and the pointer of the engine speedometer kept trembling, already pointing to the dangerous red zone.
Logically speaking, the car's body would shake violently if it exceeded 120 yards, but the car that had already exceeded twice the speed per hour was as stable as a rock under Fingel's hands.
He drove the van and performed various drifts on the city streets, leaving behind the hunting shadows time and time again. His driving skills were worthy of the title of the self-proclaimed "Kassel Car God".
Xia Mi sat in the back, using [Wind King's Child] to guard around the car, reducing wind resistance and blocking the deadpool who accidentally rushed up.
The two of them built a safe haven for Chu Zihang so that he could safely try to awaken the spirit of the scabbard.
Chu Zihang is entering a meditative state.
Yoga practitioners usually subdue their minds through meditation. Chu Zihang learned from a specialized yoga master and mastered the basic meditation method.
In his opinion, there is not much difference between meditation and Zen practice. They are both seeking oneself in silence.
The essence of meditation is to divert attention, curb the generation of distracting thoughts, make thoughts diverge and extend through self-guidance, enter an ethereal realm, and explore a deeper self.
This is a very mysterious realm, and advanced people often claim to have seen different worlds.
Chu Zihang can understand this realm.
Not to mention different people, even in the eyes of one person, the world can be different at different times. If you calm down and experience the quiet world carefully, an unprecedented feeling will spontaneously arise in your heart.
And now Chu Zihang is exploring a deeper self.
If you want to conquer your own mind, you must first understand yourself.
When he was awakened by Fingel, he had a deeper understanding of himself.
The noisy sounds in his ears slowly faded away, and it seemed as if he was being withdrawn from this world.
Suddenly ripples appeared in his steady thoughts.
He is going to meditate...
Then.
Meditation failed.
Chu Zihang opened his eyes and smiled bitterly.
Meditation is a very focused thing and does not allow for any distracting thoughts. The ripples in his mind were equivalent to him breaking his kung fu at the last moment.
"What's wrong, junior brother? Are we too noisy?" Fingel looked at him through the rearview mirror, "Okay, I'm going to shut up now, you keep working hard!"
"Brother, take your time, we have plenty of time! Come on!" Xia Mi encouraged him.
Chu Zihang cleared away his distracting thoughts and tried to meditate again.
Time passed bit by bit.
My mind gradually becomes empty, and I calm down the distracting thoughts...
The hustle and bustle around him was slowly withdrawn from his world again, and he once again came to the edge of meditation, refining ten times his spiritual power and pushing him into a world he had never been to before.
There was the sound of water dripping.
Suddenly, messy blue-purple lines appeared on the blank scroll, like countless snakes twisting, like hieroglyphs on ancient stone tablets.
They came to life, dancing like elves, changing into different patterns and falling apart, as if the ancient words engraved on the stone tablets were eroded by time, washed away by rain, and the past history slowly disappeared with the falling stone fragments.
All kinds of images that he couldn't even imagine in his deepest dreams flashed before his eyes.
A young man with a golden child's hole in his forehead is lying on a throne of black stone, with a sword of white bones stuck in his chest; girls are rolling on the altar in front of the stone carvings, screaming in pain, as if they are a precursor to childbirth; black wings are flying in the air.
The setting sun rose up and covered half of the sky; the woman bound on the copper pillar slowly opened her eyes, her white hair flying, and two lines of thick blood flowing from her eyes...
It was like watching a group of snakes dancing in the darkness of ancient times. Those snakes told him the lost history in strange languages.
But why...why did I see the scene I had witnessed during my spiritual vision at this moment?!
On the rainy night when he woke up six years ago, he witnessed the exact same scene in his spiritual vision!
What does this re-enacted scene imply to him?
He had no time to explore, and the severe pain from his body pulled him out of his meditative state.
Chu Zihang opened his eyes suddenly, and a sharp black claw penetrated the car wall door and penetrated into his heart.
He could only hear Fingel's roar and Xia Mi's rushing figure.
The game...is restarted for the fourth time.
…
The three of them opened their eyes again in the van and looked outside the car. They were still outside the building. The shambling figures emerged from the darkness and surrounded them as usual.
"I saw something!"
Without waiting for Fingel and Xia Mi, Chu Zihang spoke first.
"I just entered a meditative state, and my spirit seemed to be in perfect harmony with my body, pushing me into an unprecedented realm, where I saw some strange pictures, but the problem is, I have seen these pictures before during my spiritual vision. !”
Fingel was surprised and asked: "Did you just see the scene that appeared during the spiritual vision?"
"right."
"Spiritual vision... is a special phenomenon that occurs when hybrids hear dragon incantations." Fingel pondered, "What did you see?"
"Some meaningless pictures are very distant and ancient, as if they come from ancient times."
"Generally speaking, visionaries tend to see the most painful things deep in their hearts, but there are always exceptions." Fingel thought for a moment and said, "Junior brother, do you know the [Emperor] in the first position?"
"certainly."
"The ability of Yan Ling [Emperor] is to make any descendant of the dragon clan immortal in their genes, awaken the awe of the dragon emperor, and travel through time to recall the past when the dragon clan ruled the world. In other words, there are some things that have always been engraved deep in our genes. This is a memory engraved by blood."
"You mean, what I saw really happened in ancient times?"
"It's possible. But that's not important. What's important is, why did you see these pictures when you entered meditation?" Fingel said with a serious expression, "Did you sense the spirit of the scabbard just now?"
"It seems...you feel it?" Chu Zihang hesitated.
He was a little unsure, and his attention at that time fell on those familiar yet unfamiliar pictures.
"Continue." Fingel started the van, the engine growled lowly, "Once is not enough, just twice. The biggest bargaining chip we have now is time."
The van started with a bang, and this guy smashed a path against the black shadow in front of him!
"Let's get started, junior brother, we will work hard to give you more opportunities!"
Chu Zihang closed his eyes and entered the world of meditation.
He once again came to a dark, deep, and remote world.
The weird secrets of the ancient times were revealed to him again, but this time, the scene started with the woman opening her eyes on the copper pillar!
That's a more distant memory!
A scene so far away that even dragon genes have never recorded it!
The only person who records these scenes is "the world itself", or the scabbard in his hand!
That is……
A figure as high as the mountains steps on the earth chasing the sun. The image of Kuafu chasing the sun in the myth appears, shaking the earth with every step!
They crossed mountains, swam across seas, crossed deserts, and finally came to a snow-capped silent volcano, where a kingdom of "ants" was established.
No, those are not ants, they are... dwarfs?!
Giants and dwarves in Norse mythology?!
The sound of a giant hammer striking gold and stone resounded in Chu Zihang's mind. He curled up in pain and closed his eyes, but in front of him was still the ancient, majestic, and gorgeous vast scroll.
The giants leaned down and carefully placed the extraterrestrial meteorites brought from afar on the ground. The dwarves swarmed up, like worker ants, transporting these precious stones into the huge furnace transformed from the volcano.
Chu Zihang saw it, and he saw the thing enshrined at the highest point of the furnace.
That's a ring.
A gold ring floating in the blood.
…
The fifth reboot begins.
Without saying a word, Fingel opened his eyes and pulled the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator hard, and drove the car extremely violently.
Chu Zihang did not open his eyes and continued to try to meditate from the moment he woke up.
He had a premonition that he would see many images that might not have much meaning left, but were the last remaining images in this world.
That is the most direct proof that prehistoric civilization really existed!
The only doubt he had was, were these scenes really recorded by the scabbard?
Maybe……
Is it the world?
…
He saw more bloody and incomprehensible images.
The giants knelt down and kissed the dry earth, then stood up with a look of love on their faces.
They raised their arms and shouted, as if they were angrily blaming the blue sky, and their anger filled the whole world.
The dwarves gathered in the main hall and were divided into two groups. They quarreled from early morning to dusk, and from dusk to early morning. When they were tired, they fell asleep on the floor. Time passed rapidly at this moment, and the sun and moon outside the hall alternated.
Chu Zihang made a rough count and found that it had been hundreds of days.
In the end, the dwarf leader of one of the factions raised his hands and roared, and a deafening roar of mourning sounded behind him, while the other faction knelt on the ground helplessly.
They rushed out of the hall and came to the top of the mountain, roaring loudly at the giants. The giants leaned down and listened to their voices, then turned around and strode into the distance, chasing the sun.
…
…
Since then, it has been restarted again and again.
In countless restarts, as history goes backwards, Chu Zihang sees the true side of this era more and more clearly.
He thought everything would continue like this, and he would see more reality in the next reboot.
Suddenly something happens in this situation.
A sigh sounded.
Next came Norns' resentful and angry tone, as if Chu Zihang had betrayed her.
"You guys, what's so interesting about the story of the Fourth Sun Age? No matter how many chips you have, I can't stop you from being so nostalgic about the seven dwarfs!"
"Don't focus on one era, look at the long term! Didn't I give you a hint a long time ago? I am a goblin, I am a goblin, I am a goblin!"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, you still have two chances to restart. The third restart will not open the normal mode, but the expert mode. I wish you good luck!"
