Tiandao?

Chen Xiao looked suspicious.

"Xiao, Xiao'er..."

Just then, an extremely weak voice came from the ground.

Chen Xiao looked down and was immediately shocked!

"Mom!"

Chen Xiao shouted and ran over.

Because he found that the person lying on the ground was his mother, Liu Zhen!

Even though he knew subconsciously that these weren't real, just illusions, Chen Xiao's heart still couldn't help but ache as he looked at the lifelike scene before him.

"Mom, Mom, what happened to you?"

Chen Xiao helped Liu Zhen up, his heart twisted like a knife.

At this time, Liu Zhen was covered in wounds, her lips were pale, without a trace of blood, and she looked like she was about to die.

Chen Xiao wanted to transmit spiritual Qi to his mother, but then realized that the spiritual Qi in his body had long since vanished.

Faced with his dying mother, he was helpless, just like he had been when he couldn't raise enough money for her surgery.

"Xiao'er, if you had worked harder... that would, would have been so much better..."

Liu Zhen finished speaking weakly, her head tilted, and she died.

"Mom, Mom..."

Chen Xiao shouted, tears streaming down his face.

Just then, a burst of noisy voices rang out in his mind.

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have come, and we wouldn't have died!"

"You disrupted the laws of the world but don't have the ability to clean up the mess."

"Chen Xiao, I'm so disappointed in you, bah!"

"Alas, I was still wrong. You are not that peerless genius..."

As the voices of reproach and disappointment sounded, transparent soul bodies floated in mid-air.

Song Anran, Wu Fei'er, Gu Zhendong, Gu Yutong, Lu Datou, Xiao Zhan, Gongsun Yi, the people of Yaowang Valley, the Chu family father and daughter...

Familiar figures appeared and disappeared.

Like slides, they flashed before Chen Xiao's eyes.

"You... did you all die because of me? And those corpses... is all of this my fault?"

Chen Xiao's mind became chaotic.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that his heart was not as strong as he had imagined.

The reason he felt strong was because of his strength.

But after losing those abilities, he was just that weak, helpless, and pitiful person who couldn't even afford his mother's medical bills.

"Husband!"

Another familiar voice rang out.

Chen Xiao didn't need to look to know that it was Li Ziqing's voice.

"Even you died? What do you want to say to me? Blame me? Or regret being with me?"

Chen Xiao's expression was numb, his heart filled with despair.

However, Li Ziqing did not blame Chen Xiao. She shouted loudly, "Husband, save me!"

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned and looked up, only to find that Li Ziqing was not dead.

She was tied up, covered in wounds, and held in someone's hand.

The man wore a white robe, his face hidden in the deep brim of his hat, making it impossible to see his face, let alone his expression.

He held Li Ziqing and floated quietly in mid-air, as if walking on flat ground.

"Who are you? Let her go!"

Chen Xiao shouted subconsciously.

But the man did not react.

Li Ziqing cried and shouted, "Husband, save me, save me!"

Chen Xiao was anxious, but he was helpless against the two people floating in mid-air.

The Yitian Sword was gone, and the Phoenix Plume had disappeared. He had lost his ability to fly.

He jumped up, only jumping less than a meter.

But Li Ziqing and the man were tens of meters in the air.

"Wife, I'm sorry..."

Chen Xiao said weakly, wiping the tears from his face, not wanting Li Ziqing to see his fragile appearance.

"Husband, save me..."

Li Ziqing's shouts became weaker and weaker.

A look of resignation appeared in her eyes, as if she also realized that Chen Xiao couldn't save her.

At this moment, the white-robed怪人 suddenly let go, and Li Ziqing fell from a height of tens of meters above the ground.

"Wife!"

Chen Xiao shouted and rushed over.

But his speed was ultimately no match for Li Ziqing's falling speed.

And even if he caught up, it would be useless, after all, he was just a mortal now.

Bang—

In front of Chen Xiao, Li Ziqing was smashed into a pile of minced meat.

He widened his eyes and watched.

The huge impact left him dazed, his mind blank.

It wasn't until the white-robed man landed in front of Chen Xiao that he came back to his senses.

"You bastard, come at me if you have the guts!"

Chen Xiao roared, his anger almost bursting out of his eyes.

"Jie jie jie—"

The white-robed man smiled sinisterly, raised his hand, and a white light shot towards Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao thought that the white-robed man would not kill him easily.

Even if he killed him, he would tell him what had happened.

This was in line with the villain's consistent style.

However, the white-robed man did not. With just a wave of his hand, he instantly killed Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao only felt his soul leave his body, the white light stinging his eyes.

After a moment, the situation reversed again.

Before his eyes, everything turned into pure darkness.

Chen Xiao's nightmare was not over. The choice had started again...

"If you were given a chance to choose again, would you still choose to embark on this path?"

That ethereal voice rang out again in Chen Xiao's mind.

Then, a flash of white light, the situation reversed, and Chen Xiao reappeared on that bustling street.

The neon lights of Yaoyang Bar sparkled dazzlingly across the street.

Chen Xiao had once again arrived at the crossroads of choice.

But this time, he was not so sure whether he should choose the same path again.

Seeing his mother and Li Ziqing die with his own eyes, as well as those accusing and disappointed voices, made him doubt himself.

Everything he had was given by the Yin-Yang Jade.

Without the Yin-Yang Jade, he was nothing... but, was that really the case?

Chen Xiao was immersed in this game, or rather, he was competing with himself.

However, he didn't realize it himself.

And this time, he made a different choice.

He turned his head and did not walk into Yaoyang Bar. He just sent a text message to Sun Li: "Let's break up."

Then, he tore off the Yin-Yang Jade from his neck, threw it into the sewer next to him, and resolutely left the intersection.

He tried other methods, but ultimately did not raise enough money to treat his mother's illness.

His mother left this world, and Chen Xiao became an ordinary worker among the masses.

He walked into the palace of marriage with an ordinary girl and had a child.

He worked hard to earn money, with almost no time for himself.

But even so, the speed at which he earned money could not keep up with the soaring prices under inflation.

For the rest of his life, he was just an ordinary poor man.

Life was like plain boiled water, so bland that it made him feel bored, and it also wiped away all the edges and corners of his body, making him selfish and indifferent.

Looking in the mirror, he couldn't recognize who the person in the mirror was.

As for those wonderful and happy lives, they had completely left him.

Everything was like a dream. Chen Xiao couldn't tell what was real and what was fake.

Until he was old and dying, he finally died alone in the hospital bed.

After a flash of white light, the situation reversed again, and it turned into pure darkness again.

"If you were given a chance to choose again, would you still choose to embark on this path?"

The voice that made him choose appeared in his mind again.

…………

Chen Xiao had already lived through two lives, but in reality, all of this only happened in an instant.

After asking "Where is the dragon vein?" by the lake in Longdong, he had been standing still.

As if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

After Chen Xiao maintained this posture for a few minutes, Araki Miko finally realized that something seemed wrong.

She tentatively called out, "Master?"

Chen Xiao naturally ignored her. Araki Miko frowned slightly and leaned over.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Araki Miko saw that Chen Xiao seemed to be frozen and cried out in panic.

Just as she was about to touch Chen Xiao, a figure suddenly flashed behind her, and a soft, jade-like body pressed against her back.

At the same time, a short blade like a poisonous snake's fangs was pressed against her neck.

With just a light stab, it could pierce the pink skin on her neck and enter her throat.

"Miko-sama, I advise you not to move, otherwise, my poisonous fangs will kill you in three seconds."

Mizukawa Izuko looked at her with a smile that was not a smile.

"You really betrayed Master!"

Araki Miko said angrily, her teeth clattering.

"Kekeke..."

Mizukawa Izuko giggled, "Betrayal? I'm not as lowly as you, recognizing him as Master. How can there be any betrayal?"

"And from beginning to end, I have told him the truth. I haven't even lied to him!"

Araki Miko was furious, "Don't try to quibble. I don't know what kind of bewitching soup you gave Master. If I were Master, I would have skinned you!"

"Kekeke... It's his own fault for not killing me. Who can be blamed? He can only blame himself~~"

Mizukawa Izuko let out another charming giggle.

Then, she changed the subject and said coldly, "I have already told him that the dragon vein was snatched by the great god race. He's just courting death, so he can't blame others!"

"Moreover, if I were to choose between the god race and him, anyone with a brain would choose to be loyal to the god race."

"Only a dizzy fool like you would choose him!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, so even Amaterasu Omikami has misjudged sometimes, actually choosing a fool like you as a maid!"

After the initial panic, Araki Miko had calmed down.

"You stinky snake spirit, don't be complacent. When Master wakes up, you will regret your choice. You simply don't understand what kind of existence Master is!"

"Wake up? Hehe, I advise you not to daydream!"

Mizukawa Izuko said disdainfully, "Qinghu Da御神 personally took action. That kid named Chen will never wake up!"
