Chapter 272 First Meeting 2
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Ying closed his eyes and withdrew his soul. Following the finger that was touching Wei Chaoyan's brow, he "slipped" into her sea of consciousness without any hindrance. This showed that Wei Chaoyan trusted Wei Ying completely and opened her doors to him without any obstacles.
Wei Ying had no time to feel sentimental about this. His soul had just successfully entered Wei Chaoyan's sea of consciousness, and before he could even check the situation inside, he was instantly swept away by an invisible force that could not be refused.
It was as if we had traversed billions of years and crossed countless spatial dimensions, yet it was also as if we had only spent a brief moment in between, and we had already arrived at a boundless sea of stars where the sky and water blended into one, and we could not distinguish up from down, east from west, south from north, and north from south. Countless stars were scattered about in a staggered pattern.
Looking around, one could see that Wei Chaoyan's soul, standing not far away amidst the sea of stars, was tightly and seamlessly enveloped by a layer of dark, glazed red light that was neither mist nor fog, but slightly viscous.
Facing it directly is a snow rabbit, about half a person's height, with long, soft fur that looks like silk woven from the purest essence of the moon, fluttering lightly even in the stillness of the wind. It is half-lying on the calm, mirror-like surface of the starry sea, its bright, ruby-red eyes half-closed. One of its long, soft rabbit ears stands up high, trembling slightly from time to time, while the other hangs down, its tip covered with fine, dandelion-like down that reaches straight down to the corner of its narrow eye.
Even without Wei Chaoyan's special introduction, Wei Ying knew that this ethereal and exquisitely beautiful snow rabbit was none other than the system assistant 001 he had been searching for!
Ironically, he had known about 001 from Wei Chaoyan long ago and had been enjoying the benefits it brought. However, after five or six years, this meeting was the first formal meeting and conversation between the two of them.
Judging from the dull luster on its moon-like fur and the increasingly prominent, rapidly moving, mysterious runes of crimson and dark blue intertwined between its hair roots, it is clear that it must have paid a heavy price for this move. This not only refers to the almost complete reset of all data in Wei Chaoyan's live stream, but also to the huge price paid by 001 itself.
With this in mind, Wei Ying abandoned the usual formalities and pleasantries, and went straight to the point, asking his first question.
"Senior 001, may I ask if the perilous nature of Lan Zhan and my tribulation this time is due to our actions violating the taboos of the Heavenly Dao?"
Before 001 could reply, Wei Ying swiftly and clearly laid out all the guesses that had been building up in his mind for a long time, without the slightest stutter.
Is the world we live in a backward-looking world? And has it backward-looking more than once?
"My elder sister was originally a soul from another world, yet she miraculously and easily entered this other world and effortlessly reversed its fate. What is the deep relationship between her world and this world? And what is the connection between her world and the world of the Great Tang Dynasty, where my second brother Qiye was born?"
"Senior, as a powerful creation of an unknown advanced civilization with extraordinary intelligence, why do you favor us, beings who are no more important than ants or mayflies in your eyes?"
"Senior, is your creator related to me or Lan Zhan in a parallel world?"
"Or perhaps you are simply one of the creations of 'me' who has already transcended in another parallel world? After all, the runes on your body, the strokes, turns, connections, and many subtle habits are exactly the same as mine! Although it is more profound and difficult to understand, I can still find an extremely familiar shadow in its basic structure!"
001 fell silent: "..."
Wei Ying didn't need to answer the question; his obvious attitude confirmed all the speculations.
He let out a long sigh, but a lingering sorrow lingered in his eyes: "Senior 001, will the repeated rewinding of this world create huge hidden dangers? Who will pay the price for the world's rewinding? Is it... is it my sister...?"
He paused, seemingly reluctant to continue, and deliberately avoided the topic, pretending nothing was wrong as he continued to ask 001 as quickly as possible.
"What level of effort do I, or rather we, need to go to completely derail this carriage that is speeding towards the abyss of destruction from its old deadly path, so as to successfully defy fate and avert the cataclysmic disaster that may strike at any moment?"
001 slightly lifted her eyelids, her red eyes opening a tiny slit, and slowly, seemingly unrelatedly, sighed, "My heart is my master, the path is beneath my feet!"
"Go then! We will meet again, and then you will know the cause and effect of everything!"
"Our destiny has already been severely damaged. We must seize this opportunity. Whether we can find a turning point depends on your resolve!"
