I fell into a dead silence in the midst of my roar.

The pain of killing my beloved by my own hands made my heart convulse violently.

There was no light in my world, perhaps Xu Ziyun was a light, but I cut it off with my own hands.

In fact, I didn't even know if I really liked Xu Ziyun.

She was the first girl I saw, and also a girl willing to share hardships with me.

Under the pursuit of Xinyan Black Goat, she took me from Chang'an City to Shu Land, saving my life.

But that wasn't enough, we only met briefly, hurriedly got to know each other, it wasn't enough for me to fall in love with her.

But in the world of two lifetimes under the wine pool, I saw the goodness of this girl, her kindness to me was magnified limitlessly.

She died for me time and time again, until my sword split her in two.

Then I realized that some people, from the moment you first meet them, are already in your heart.

Gradually, a faint light began to shine in the black sky.

I could slowly see Xu Ziyun's face, but I couldn't speak, crimson water enveloped us.

Xu Ziyun and I kissed, she helped me breathe through mouth, we kept sinking.

Finally, at the bottom of the crimson water, there was a glittering helmet.

We both reached out, pulled the helmet from the bottom of the water, and slowly rose to the surface.

As we surfaced, I wanted to wipe the water stains from Xu Ziyun's face, but she turned away, her face stern.

It seemed that all my goodness to her was superfluous to her.

I smiled bitterly, perhaps liking her was just wishful thinking, her kindness to me was just her nature.

I didn't insist, instead I sat alone beside the wine pool, playing with the helmet in my hand.

I didn't know the power of the Human Emperor, but according to legend, the Human Emperor had control over the wishes of the common people under heaven.

No immortals or monsters could confront the Human Emperor, he was the sole master of the land of Huaxia.

Within the Yin-Shang realm, immortals and demons were prohibited, all immortals and demons who dared to challenge the rules became nourishment in the wine pool.

Perhaps it was this kind of rule that made immortals and demons fear the Human Emperor, the ultimate fear being rebellion and destruction.

When I turned my head, I happened to see Xu Ziyun's profile, there was a hint of familiarity.

Looking carefully, that profile was surprisingly similar to the portrait of Daji in the final imperial tomb.

It was as if Xu Ziyun was supposed to be Daji, the person the Human Emperor loved the most, the mother of the world.

I suddenly felt an intense hatred towards that face, if not for the Human Emperor's favoritism for Daji, the world wouldn't be like this.

My anger was noticed by Xu Ziyun, she turned her head, looking me up and down:

"What expression is that on your face?"

I shook my head:

"Your profile resembles someone else too much, my mistake."

She nodded, then continued in a cold voice:

"Let's go, find the armor. This place is not simple."

Xu Ziyun led me out of the Yin-Shang ruins to a mountain range.

It was the famous Lushan Waterfall, looking up from below, it seemed like the whole sky was covered by a curtain of water.

Xu Ziyun pointed behind the curtain of water:

"That's where the Human Emperor's armor is."

As she spoke, the entire sky darkened, the entire space shattered.

As long as you took a step forward, you would appear in some unknown place in this space.

Forward, backward, or elsewhere, all connected randomly.

A blood moon appeared above the canopy, but upon closer inspection, within the blood moon, there was a faint vertical line.

That was the eye of the countless tentacles of the Thousand-Faced Demon...
