Chapter 1162B. Light and Darkness
Chapter 1162B. Light and Darkness
The light from the left and the darkness from the right. One came from the bright world and the other came from the terrifying abyss. He had no idea how they came to clash like this, but he knew that grinding him to powder would be simple.
The only thing Qin Yu could celebrate was that the balance of power between light and darkness seemed to be well-maintained. In other words, as long as he didn’t mess around and do anything rash, there was no immediate danger of death.
This was a fortune within misfortune.
Three days later, after Qin Yu’s careful probing, he found that the range of the balance point was extremely small. It was a ten foot radius around his body. Exceeding this distance could ignite an explosion between the battle of light and darkness.
Although the usable area wasn’t large, Qin Yu didn’t have to stand in place anymore. He could move a little, and if he was being a bit more extravagant, he could take one or two steps.
Of course, each step had to be taken with extreme caution and he didn’t dare to approach the edge…because, what if the range of the balance point was suddenly reduced?
Because if he died just taking a small walk, this humiliating method of death would be unacceptable to Qin Yu.
Another three days passed.
Qin Yu looked at the light in front of him, a helpless expression on his face. The bright world was so close, so close that he could complete his return with a small leap forward.
But in his current situation, this extremely short distance was actually a moat he couldn’t cross.
And the most serious problem was the discovery that whether it was the light or darkness, these two incomparably formidable strengths weren’t weakening with time.
On the contrary, they constantly grew stronger…like a vortex, they continuously swallowed more of the power of light and darkness, causing the strength gathering outside to rise.
Simply put, if this void had exploded before and only bits of bones and flesh would remain of Qin Yu, then if it exploded now there wouldn’t be anything left at all.
This was simply a fact that left one feeling sad and depressed, but they had no choice but to accept.
Qin Yu paled because he discovered that even though he was alive, he had been caught in an inescapable cage.
And what scared him was that as time passed, this cage grew increasingly firm, increasingly terrifying.
What to do? He couldn’t wait!
However, it was fated that no one would give him an answer to this. He was aware that he could only rely on himself now.
Ah…in truth, there were exceptions to all things. For instance, in this current situation.
He had lost his connection to the little blue lamp once again. Perhaps it was because the void formed from the gathered power of light and darkness had thoroughly isolated his aura. Of course, the more likely possibility was that fellow had seen this situation and thought that it was bad, so it hid away on its own initiative.
After all, what Qin Yu faced was the converged power of the abyss and bright world. They were always taboo to the little blue lamp.
But besides the little blue lamp, there was someone else Qin Yu could consult with.
As his thoughts turned, Old Turtle was dragged into the world of his mind. Old Turtle’s first words were accompanied by sobs, “Qin Yu, if you don’t want to live anymore don’t take me with you, I haven’t lived long enough yet!”
He lived up to his reputation as the King of Fearing Death.
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes. It wasn’t because he was angry at Old Turtle’s disrespectful tone, but because he had discovered that Old Turtle could actually perceive what was happening outside.
Indeed, he was worthy of being a ‘formidable existence’ that was so afraid of death that he even dared to betray the abyss’ will. This should be an ability that he forcibly evolved to save his own life.
“If you don’t want to die with me, then help me figure out how to get out of here alive.”
Old Turtle screamed, “If you ask me, who am I going to ask? This is the diametrically opposed strength of two worlds. In an extremely rare circumstance, it has formed the strongest seal. And as time passes, more and more of the power of the world will gather…”
Before he finished speaking he was interrupted by a cold sneer from Qin Yu. Qin Yu’s gaze was cold and his tone was even colder as he said, “It seems you have forgotten who your master is? If you say another word like that, I’ll break you to pieces here!”
Here it was! Here it was again!
Every time this person opens or closes his mouth he threatens to break me to pieces. This is pushing things too far…if he could tolerate this, what couldn’t he tolerate?
But Old Turtle was called Old Turtle for a reason, so he could.
With a face full of grievances, Old Turtle cautiously said, “You are my master. I was just too afraid so I made a fool of myself and spoke rudely. Master, please don’t haggle over this with me.”
Qin Yu sneered, “Are you clear-minded now? Then let’s get to the point. How can I get out of here? Remember the point. If you can’t come up with anything…hum hum, I’ll break you to pieces!”
Shuddering, Old Turtle almost cried. Could we change our usual phrase here? That’s too scary!
He wanted to cry but he held it in. Qin Yu was impatient right now. He feared that if he delayed any further, he really would break into pieces.
As the King of Fearing Death, he certainly couldn’t take any risks. Any possibility that could threaten his life had to be removed!
His thoughts crazily raced. The fear of death was an incomparably powerful driving force, and under the constant impetus of this driving force over countless years, Old Turtle had ceased to be a pure shadow.
That’s right, Old Turtle himself did contain the source of the abyss. It was only an extremely small part, but this part of the source had already mutated.
Or to be more accurate, it started to automatically grow and evolve. It was like flesh and blood with a strong vitality of its own. It was constantly splitting and breeding, trying to perfect itself and finally form a complete life.
Certainly, maybe Old Turtle himself hadn’t discovered this. It just instinctually advanced in this direction.
He was a shadow of the abyss, so he would never be freed. If he wanted to thoroughly free himself from the shadow of death…then transforming into an independent life form was the only choice and also the best choice.
Although Old Turtle was an incomparably long distance from completing this evolution, at least he had stepped onto this road.
This was also the reason why the little blue lamp didn’t hesitate to take any risks to obtain him. It was also the reason why he didn’t allow Qin Yu to easily give him up.
Because an abyssal source that had already started onto the path of self-evolution had far exceeded its original value.
To evolve…that meant infinite possibilities!
This topic was a bit far off, but in short, Old Turtle, the King of Fearing Death, wasn’t as simple as he appeared on the surface. So when Qin Yu asked him a question, under the terrifying threat of death, he actually thought of something vague.
“Master, don’t worry. I’ve already thought of something, it’s just a bit blurry as if it’s hidden too deeply. Give me some more time.”
Old Turtle’s face was pale and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He was clearly using up a great deal of energy thinking about this.
In fact, he was definitely using energy. Because what he was doing was equal to competing with the abyss’ will.
Competing for the memories that belonged to them!
Strictly speaking, Old Turtle came from the same source as the abyss’ will. After his source gained the ability two evolve, the two sides were already existences on the same level.
Of course, they were merely existences on the same level. The true disparity of strength was still so large that it left one wallowing in desperation.
But what they were competing in now wasn’t who was stronger. When this was coupled with the fact that the abyss’ will was occupied and was caught off guard, a part of its memories were stolen away.
Hu –
Hu –
Old Turtle gasped for breath. His face was pale but filled with happiness. “Master, I’ve thought of something!”
He had no idea how shaken Qin Yu was right now. Seeing his expressionless face, he only thought that Qin Yu was impatient, so he didn’t dare to be overly proud of what he accomplished.
Following that, bits and pieces of information came out. Old Turtle had to occasionally stop. He said many things, but to summarize it, there was a way to leave this cage.
In fact, the method was extremely simple. That was to make one become a part of the light and dark. If everyone was the same, Qin Yu would become a part of the balance, and he naturally wouldn’t break it.
But everything in the world was like this. Saying something might be simple, but actually achieving it was a mission fraught with suffering and hardships.
For instance, becoming the incarnation of light and darkness…not to mention that the matter of how to become the incarnation itself was a paradoxical proposition.
Light and darkness were diametrically opposed strengths that couldn’t exist in unison. When they met, both sides had to fight to the death.
To become light and also become darkness…why not just tell him to fly to the heavens?
But Old Turtle had seized this memory. He put on a pitiful expression that said he had already made his contributions, so please don’t break him to pieces!
Qin Yu didn’t wasn’t suspicious of him having tampered with this information. With the title of the King of Fearing Death, there was no way Old Turtle would play tricks when it came to this.
With a wave of his hand, he sent Old Turtle away. Qin Yu began to diligently contemplate it. He thought this matter seemed impossible, but he also found that it was his only solution.
Light and darkness, light and darkness…it wasn’t a fusion of both sides, but becoming light and becoming darkness…
This was like a further transformation of I am you and you am I!
This wasn’t an ordinary difficulty. What could he do?
It was unknown how much time passed, but within the terrifying cage formed by the power of the abyss world and the power of the bright world, he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were hazy, but he seemed to grasp something.
He looked up and then looked at himself. With himself as the central point, this entire cage was divided in half.
This was a balance formed by the strength of two different worlds…but light and darkness were like cold water and boiling oil. After both sides came into contact, how could they maintain this tenuous peace?
Qin Yu didn’t know the reason, but he faintly became aware of something. If he could figure out the reason for this, he might be able to figure out how to become the incarnation of light and darkness.
What was it?
He stared at the intersection of light and darkness, his pupils relaxing. Without knowing it, he fell into deep contemplation.
