A World Worth Protecting

The moment Wang Baole turned his head, what he saw was not the house from before, but... a huge coffin!

The coffin was not made of wood, but was made entirely of crystal. It looked crystal clear, and at the same time, it emitted a dazzling light. Even in the pitch-black void, it was still as bright as the stars.

Perhaps it was because it was so bright that when Wang Baole turned his head to look, he couldn’t see the exact appearance of the person lying inside the coffin. He could only confirm... that there was indeed a person lying inside!

He couldn’t see the man and woman clearly, nor could he see their appearance clearly. However, the moment he saw the coffin, the shock and shock in Wang Baole’s heart turned into a huge wave that surged into the sky.

He had never expected that he would see the real world after he walked out of the house. Instead, he would see a pile of ruins. He had thought that he would see Wang Yiyi’s boudoir after he walked out of the white paper world, however, in reality... he would see a coffin!

The impact that all of this had on Wang Baole was too great. It caused Wang Baole’s divine thoughts to fluctuate violently and show signs of breaking down. It was as if too many thoughts had rushed into his mind in an instant, and he couldn’t take it anymore.

However, what he saw didn’t last forever. There were new changes. Ripples suddenly spread out from the void behind the coffin. Within the ripples, there was a thousand-foot-long blood-colored centipede, it crawled out soundlessly and jumped onto the lid of the coffin.

Its upper body was lifted up. As its countless pairs of hideous legs and its tentacles shook, the giant blood-colored Centipede’s dim yellow eyes looked at Wang Baole.

The moment Wang Baole’s gaze met the blood-colored Centipede’s, the Centipede’s body suddenly collapsed with a loud bang in its mind. It turned into countless tiny centipedes that covered the entire coffin, the countless tiny centipedes gathered once again. They protruded rapidly from the coffin and eventually turned into a human face!

The human face was demonic, and it was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman. It felt unfamiliar to Wang baole, but there seemed to be an indescribable sense of familiarity deep within his soul. It looked at Wang baole... and smiled meaningfully.

This... This... Wang Baole’s mind trembled. His thoughts were on the verge of exploding, and his consciousness seemed to be on the verge of dissipating. In that instant, a soft sigh reverberated in his mind.

“Baole, what you see... may not be the truth...”the voice did not come from Wang Yiyi’s father, nor from the gentle woman from before, nor from the strange human face formed by the Centipede before him, instead, it came from the little Missy inside the fragment of Wang Baole’s mask.

In other words... the grown-up Wang Yiyi!

The appearance of the voice was like a peerless medicine, instantly calming Wang Baole’s mind. It allowed Wang Baole to regain his senses slightly, but before he could ask anything.., the rules in the outside world were different from the rules in the white paper world. Wang Baole had previously tried his best to suppress it, but now that he had reached his limit, he did not need anyone else to do anything. A huge suction force came directly from the coffin, it instantly tugged at Wang Baole’s consciousness.

The suction force was too strong. Wang Baole didn’t have the slightest ability to resist. He was instantly pulled toward the coffin. Fortunately, as he approached, the coffin and the protruding centipede-like human face changed in his eyes once again, he returned to Wang Yiyi’s boudoir, which had opened the door. His consciousness returned to the room in the blink of an eye, returning to the page of the open book on the ground.

The moment he fused with the page, Wang Baole’s consciousness seemed to have been exhausted. He couldn’t hold on any longer and slowly dissipated.

An unknown amount of time passed. When Wang Baole regained his strength and opened his eyes, he was no longer in the white paper world. Instead, he had returned to the trial fog on the fated star.

The familiar fog in front of him made the confusion in his eyes slowly disappear. Chen Han, who was floating in front of him, had a similar effect, allowing Wang Baole to gradually recover from his previous state.

After he recovered, the scenes from the white paper world resurfaced in his memories. Wang Baole’s body slowly trembled. He was truly at a loss now.

That was because he realized that every time he came to a realization and used Chen Han’s perspective to see his previous life, every time he thought that everything was much clearer and that the answer was about to be revealed, more mysteries would appear in an instant, this would cause the answer that he originally obtained to waver.

It was the same again and again.

He originally thought that this world was real, but all the clues pointed to a book.

He originally thought that he might really be living in a book, but he soon discovered that the place where the book was located was a child’s room.

He originally thought that once he entered the room, he would be in the real world, but he discovered that there was a restriction in the room that isolated everything.

He had thought that he would be able to see the real world after rushing out of the room with great difficulty. However, what he saw was nothing.

He had thought that nothing would matter. However, when he turned around, he realized that his world was actually a coffin.

He had thought that the coffin would be the answer. However, the blood-colored centipede and the strange face that had gathered together appeared again!

All of this had overturned his understanding time and time again. In the end, the words that came from the young lady seemed to point out that what he saw... was not completely real.

“What... What exactly... is going on!”

“Also... my flight just now seemed... too smooth. It was so smooth that it was unbelievable. It was as if I was deliberately indulging myself and arranged for me to see those things!”

“Also... the last thing I saw didn’t seem to be a real scene. It was more like... a moral!”

“What does the ruins represent? What does the coffin represent? What does the blood-colored centipede represent? And what is the strange human face formed by the centipedes...”Wang Baole was silent. After a long while, he looked around, doubt gradually appeared in his eyes.

He had doubts about the so-called epiphany from his previous life. Therefore, he took out the mask fragment and lowered his head to look at it. A complicated look appeared in his eyes.

“Little Missy, it’s time for you to give me an answer!”

This time, Little Missy didn’t remain silent as usual. After a long while, she sighed softly and said something.

“My memories are missing a lot, but I can confirm one thing. Sixty-eight years from now, there will be an opportunity for you to know a part of the truth!”

“Sixty-eight years?”Wang Baole was stunned. This was the time that Li Wan ‘er had told him about when his sect ancestor had promised to meet him.

“But...”

“Don’t ask me anymore, Baole. Please, don’t ask me anymore. My Head Hurts...”Wang Baole was about to continue asking, but little Missy’s painful voice made his heart tremble.

He thought of the little girl when he was a white deer, the white-robed young lady when he was a demon blade, and his companion who had sat with him and looked at the sky when he was a zombie... in the end, Wang Baole sighed softly and didn’t continue interrogating her.

Instead, he sat there silently with his eyes closed. He recalled everything he had learned over the past few days, until a long while later..

When he opened his eyes, they shone with an even more determined and decisive light!

So what if it’s the truth? So what if it’s fake? There’s also that so-called moral... can I commit suicide crazily just because I know about these things? Or Can I die without caring about the decadence of my life

“No matter what, my core ideology will not change.”

“My cultivation base is very weak, my arms are too thin, and my strength is insufficient. therefore... Such a major matter that concerns the DAO domain will naturally be the concern of those mighty figures. I’m just a small figure, I can’t care so much. Don’t ask me to care about it either. As for the moral... I can’t change it!”

“Therefore, regardless of whether what I see is real or fake, whether I have a close relationship with myself or am estranged from me, it’s not something that I can control

“Rather than feeling shocked and crazy, I might as well strengthen myself. Only in this way... can I stand more firmly and walk further. As for what will happen in the future... who can say for sure?”

A look of determination appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. Although the Epiphany this time didn’t increase his cultivation, the determination in his heart still made Wang Baole feel as if his entire body had become much more condensed.

As he condensed, he also felt that his time waning moon technique seemed to have improved. It was as if the trip this time had greatly helped the laws of time. After trying it out, Wang Baole quickly confirmed this point.

He was right. The time waning moon technique had indeed improved. It had increased from ten breaths of time before, to twenty breaths!

It was also at that moment that Chen Han... woke up.
