Chapter 327 The Last Meeting 2
Just as the lively and unconventional Wei Chaoyan and Wei Ying were about to dig out a super luxurious garden mansion from their toes hidden in their shoes, 001, who had been behaving like an emotionless mechanical rabbit, trembled and shook its long ears, just like a magnolia flower on a branch yawning comfortably and delicately in the warm March breeze.
A hint of sadness at parting flashed in her top-grade red agate eyes, and her tender pink three-lobed lips parted slightly as she uttered her first words since appearing.
"Host, it's been a long time! In the days I was away, your growth has impressed me greatly! When I was seriously injured and forced into a deep sleep, I was very worried that you would not be able to resist the incredibly powerful force of fate correction and would be controlled by it, repeating the same mistakes!"
Rarely hearing 001 utter words of praise, Wei Chaoyan's earlier gloom vanished, replaced by a wide grin. "Hahaha, 001, I did a great job, didn't I!"
"You didn't expect that I would actually manage to defy fate, did you? Hehehe, who are my brothers? They are the patriarchs of demonic cultivation, the Yiling Patriarch Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and the Demon Lord Qiye, who possess the power to overturn rivers and seas and ascend to heaven and descend to earth! With them around, what can't I accomplish?!"
Sure enough, Wei Chaoyan, the host, was still the same person in her memory who couldn't stand being praised and would get carried away with the slightest compliment. Even though they hadn't been in contact for over a decade, her boastful manner remained exactly the same, without the slightest improvement!
As expected, 001 lifted her eyelids slightly, bypassed the woman who was blowing more and more enthusiastically, and extended the olive branch of communication to Lan Wenjing, the only elder who was the most mature and proper in the room.
"Lan Wenjing, aren't you wondering why I specifically asked you to come to this meeting?"
Lan Wenjing nodded in agreement. 001's eyes darted around, and instead of answering directly, she changed the subject, saying, "Look at this picture. What information can you glean from it?"
With a light touch of pinkish-red rabbit paws in front of her, the space between them immediately unfolded like a long scroll painting.
The six people's gazes were drawn to it, but what it displayed was a perfect replica of the historical images displayed on the right tunnel wall of the tunnel they had passed through on their way there, scaled down. The content could not be described as identical, but rather exactly the same...
Suddenly sensing something amiss, the six people's gazes sharpened, and they quickly shifted their attention to the beginning of the painting with serious expressions, examining it inch by inch with even greater care and meticulousness.
Sure enough, before they could see the location of the third point again, the six of them gradually realized the anomaly—
That is, this painting is not just one layer, but three layers of images superimposed, just like pasting paper in the mortal world. On the bottom layer of the painting, two identical images are pasted tightly and seamlessly. The figures, actions, and other content are exactly the same, and their positions are also the same. Therefore, the superposition of the three layers creates a seamless effect, with no difference at all...
Oh, no, there are differences. The lengths of the three scenes are different. The bottom layer is the shortest. The scene ends with the explosion of resentment, the wailing of all living beings, and the courageous people calmly facing death to save themselves, but regrettably, they were unable to turn the tide and save the world from collapse. In the end, the world is destroyed in the vast chaos, leaving no trace of its existence!
The second layer of the image is one-tenth longer than the first layer. The previous layers are basically the same, except that near the end of the first layer's length, there are subtle, hair-like changes at the inconspicuous corners.
However, within the extra length of the second layer of the scroll, the changes took an astonishing turn, progressing in a gradual manner followed by a rapid surge.
Judging from the bright colors presented in the picture, one can tell that the world was developing very well at that time!
However, the scene depicted in this second layer of the painting is also a final, poignant, and extremely tragic elegy amidst a scene of prosperity!
The scene also ends with the belated outburst of resentment. The gray and twisted aura of resentment, like a ravenous beast awakened from its slumber, greedily and swiftly devours all life in the world!
Amidst the wailing and desperate struggle of all living beings, the same group of faces—no, at least a third more unfamiliar faces than the first time—stood up fearlessly, one after another, risking their lives to save the world, giving their last breath, shedding their last drop of blood, and burning away their last wisp of consciousness!
Fortunately, although the painting ultimately failed to avert its destructive fate, it stubbornly and persistently preserved a glimmer of hope at the very end.
A super-large composite array, deeply engraved with the laws of heaven and earth, with a broken main body but a complete array base, spread across the five lakes and four seas and covering the entire world!
A soul confined to a single land and water, its body covered in countless wounds, devoid of memory and consciousness, yet stubbornly and steadfastly guarding the dawn. Deep within its soul lies the protection of the destiny of another higher-ranking world. The burning red of its blood, like flowing blood, is the source of its survival from the aftermath of the world's destruction, and also the source of its enduring vigil in the chaotic sea of endless terror and danger, where no living beings exist, without being worn down by the desolate power of chaos!
A simple, unadorned wild grass, its only redeeming quality being its vibrant green color!
A plain-looking, seemingly fragile book with a thick, black cover, its title written in a flamboyant, calligraphic style: "The Complete Explanation of Ghostly Paths!"
And it was these four things that successfully ignited hope. When chaos receded and spring arrived, new seeds sprouted and took root, blossoming into new flowers of hope!
Thus, the third layer of the scroll began!
Sure enough, the third layer of the scroll is the same as the first two layers except for the first third. After that, the scroll begins to change dramatically when Wei Zhu, in the deep forest behind Wei Village, grabs a strange wild grass while fleeing for his life, seemingly by chance or by fate.
Its subsequent developments were unstoppable, and finally, just as Wei Ying and the others successfully merged the two realms, it completely deviated from the old path, going against the very direction of the previous two layers of the story!
Therefore, "this life is indeed the world of the second time travel!"
Qi Ye, Wei Ying, Lan Zhan, and Qing Yan all spoke in unison and made a solemn conclusion!
Wei Chaoyan and Lan Wenjing, who were just hearing about this, stared in shock at the three historical events depicted in the scroll, their thoughts immersed in it, and they did not come back to their senses for a long time!
In particular, Lan Wenjing experienced for the first time in a direct and detailed way the fates before the world line changed, including the Xuanmen sects of the world, the Gusu Lan Clan, A-Su, his younger brother, A-Huan, A-Zhan, A-Ying, and even his own, originally tragic fates that were hard to accept!
This deeply shocked him and filled him with immense guilt!
