This was a rotten island!
From top to bottom, from inside to outside, everything was rotten!
Every step she took was as disgusting as a puddle of mud. The entire island emitted an unbearable stench.
There were all kinds of strange things in the Boundless Universe. She really didn't know how such an island was formed.
Furthermore, it only had one color.
After being dried by the sun, the thick blood had a nearly jet-black color.
Just like this, Ling Wu walked towards the island, one step at a time.
That small crystal-powered boat of hers was being pushed by the waves and gradually drifted away. She didn't care about it at all.
The disgusting mud on the island was getting deeper and deeper. It was almost buried up to her thighs.
She continued to walk blindly towards the inside. She continued to walk.
That's right, she was walking blindly.
When she first left the Central Continent, she still held onto hope to find Wu Youming. Ten days, twenty days, one month, two months, three months …
After more than a hundred days, she had actually almost given up hope!
Of course, giving up hope wasn't equivalent to giving up on searching.
She continued to search numbly like this. Perhaps she wasn't looking for Wu Youming anymore. Instead, she was persevering in a kind of suffering. Once she gave up, it would be equivalent to betraying herself.
Just like how she couldn't turn back from the moment she left Yang Dingtian's side.
Once she turned back, it would be equivalent to betraying herself.
The deeper she looked, the deeper she went.
The disgusting mud of blood gradually buried her thighs, her waist, her chest, and her throat.
If she took another step forward, her mouth, nose, and eyes would be completely buried.
Then, she would stop. She would die.
When she was very young, she had heard a story told by her mother. It was said that there was a kind of bird that didn't have legs. Therefore, it could only fly continuously. When it stopped flying, it would die.
She didn't know when it started, but Ling Wu felt that she was like this legless bird. She couldn't find sustenance or a place to land.
Just like that, she kept flying until she died.
"Alright, then I'll die like this. Goodbye, Yang Dingtian …" Ling Wu took a step forward and waited for the disgusting mud of blood to drown her eyes and life.
However …
After she took a step forward, not only did she not continue to go offline, she floated up instead.
Because she seemed to have stepped on something.
At this moment, she was already numb and unable to react. After stepping on it, she even used all her strength to press down.
Then, with a sudden thought, he stretched out his hand, grabbed that thing, and pulled it out.
This was a person!
Oh, no, this is a ghost!
Because he no longer looked like a human from head to toe.
His entire body was rotting. In fact, it was even more rotting than the entire island. It was extremely disgusting and smelly.
He was motionless, so he should be dead.
Ling Wu loosened her grip, and it sank down just like that, remaining motionless.
However, his eyes seemed to be open, but they were covered by blood.
Ling Wu extended her hand to wipe away the blood and mud in his eyes. Immediately, a pair of eyes that were like a dry well was revealed. They were deep and profound, yet there wasn't any radiance or focal distance.
His face could no longer be seen. It was all rotten.
Only a pair of eyes that looked like dried wells were still intact.
Seeing that he was about to sink completely, Ling Wu lifted him up once again, allowing him to float above the disgusting bloody mud.
However, he still remained motionless and continued to sink.
Ling Wu lifted him up once again. However, he sank down again very quickly and remained motionless.
"Are you dead?" Ling Wu asked.
"I'm dead!" That person replied.
"If you're dead, why can you still speak?" Ling Wu asked.
"Even if I'm dead, I can still speak." That person replied.
Even when he was speaking, his mouth didn't move at all. His eyes didn't move at all as well.
Ling Wu looked at him for a while and said, "Since you're dead, then I'm dead too. Let's die together."
Ling Wu laid down beside him and sank down together with him.
Finally, that person's eyes moved as he said, "You don't have to die."
"You're already dead. I'm worthless in this world. There's no meaning in living anymore." Ling Wu said.
That person said, "You can go and find the person you love. You can go and find Yang Dingtian."
Ling Wu said, "I won't go. Back then, I didn't go to Cloud Heaven City to look for him. Now, I won't go to the Central Capital to look for him."
That person looked over and said, "Do you love him?"
Ling Wu was silent for a moment before she said, "I'll only love one person in this lifetime. I can only love one person.
It's not that I'm loyal and faithful. But once I change my feelings, all of my actions will become laughable and shameful.
Only by loving him can I be justified in my actions.
Only by loving him can I maintain the pride in my heart. "
That person said, "Then go and find him. As long as you apologize that I'm late, he'll forgive you.
He will forgive you. I know him very well. "
Ling Wu shook her head and said, "If I go and find him now, I'll lose even my last trace of dignity.
That's even more painful than death. "
That person said, "No, you're wrong to think this way.
The reason why you became strangers with him is because there's a problem with your perception.
You think that you're righteous and correct.
In fact, you're wrong. Yang Dingtian is the correct one. "
Ling Wu trembled as she looked at him and said, "But, I've always been following you.
If I'm wrong, then you're also wrong. "
"No, to me, you can't use wrong and correct to describe me." That person said, "If you insist on using a word to describe me, then it would be righteous and evil.
Little Wu, everything that I've done in the past has been to deceive you.
Yang Dingtian is righteous. Everything that he's done is for the sake of saving this world.
However, I'm evil. Everything that I've done is for the sake of destroying this world.
I'm a person of Evil ways. I'm the adopted son of The Demon King Wentian! "
This person was naturally Wu Youming. Wu Youming who had been missing for more than a hundred days.
After telling the truth, Wu Youming looked at Ling Wu and said, "Why aren't you surprised?"
Ling Wu was silent for a moment before she said, "I want to surprise myself. But I don't know why, but I'm unable to be surprised in my heart.
Perhaps, I've long known this truth in my heart.
It's just that I've been constantly hypnotizing myself all this while. "
Wu Youming said, "Haven't you always wanted to stand on the side of righteousness?"
Ling Wu smiled sadly and said, "It's already at this point in time. There's no need to deceive myself anymore.
Perhaps, righteousness is just an excuse for me. An excuse that allows me to righteously go against him.
Since I can't obtain any dignity from him, I'll use another method to obtain weight. Even if it's hatred! "
"You're really foolish."
Wu Youming sighed and said, "He's never thought of hurting your self-esteem at all. He didn't do it on purpose."
Ling Wu said, "It's this kind of unintentional that hurt me the most. It made me feel that I'm so lowly, and I wanted to be so different from the rest."
Immediately, Wu Youming fell into silence.
Ling Wu said, "Did you choose this place?
It's so far away … "
Wu Youming said, "That's right!
Back then, after I was defeated, my soul was instantly destroyed.
After that, I wore the Demonic Spirit Mist Cloak and blinked aimlessly. Blinked, blinked, blinked … I didn't know where I was going at all. I couldn't find my destination either.
Therefore, I finally found a target. That was to find a place to die, the best place. After that, I found this place. "
"This place isn't bad." Ling Wu said.
"It's not bad, right?"
Wu Youming smiled and said, "After I found this place, my profound energy had just been exhausted. After that, I just laid here and watched myself rot day by day. This kind of feeling is very blissful.
However, what's not blissful is that I can't die no matter what.
I've been waiting for my death every day. Why haven't I died yet?! "
Ling Wu said, "Why must you die?
You've only lost once. "
Wu Youming smiled and said, "There's a kind of person who can lose many times in a battle. He doesn't care about winning or losing. For example, Yang Dingtian.
No matter how many times he loses, even if he dies, there will still be many people who love him and remember him.
However, there's a kind of person who wants to win all the time. Even if he loses once, it means that he has nothing and it means death!
And I'm this kind of person. "
Ling Wu said, "When my mother was young, she once told me a story.
She said that there's a kind of footless bird that flies for its entire life. As long as it lands once, it will die! "
Wu Youming said, "I'm the real footless bird. Because I don't have any foothold, I shouldn't exist in this world.
Since the moment I was born, I only existed for one person.
Only by defeating him completely and eliminating him can I truly become a person and truly stand on the ground.
Otherwise, I'll always be illusory. Of course, perhaps I've always been illusory. "
"Is that person Yang Dingtian?" Ling Wu asked.
"It's not important who he is. When I was born, Yang Dingtian hadn't been born yet. Even his parents hadn't been born yet. Even his grandparents hadn't been born yet." Wu Youming said, "I'm a flaw, a cheating device of The Demon King Wentian.
The reason why he created me was to prove one thing. Under the circumstances of cheating with all his might, whether the spokesperson chosen by God could be defeated and whether the so-called fate could be broken.
I've already cheated so badly. Before he was born, I was already very strong.
Even now, I'm ten times stronger than him. However, I still failed.
This proves that everything is predestined. Everything I do is futile and my existence is meaningless. "
Ling Wu was silent for a moment before she said, "I kind of understand now!
You exist for the sake of proving one thing. Now that the result is out, you've lost all meaning.
Then I'd like to ask, other than this matter, do you have any other reason to continue living? "
"You don't want me to die?" Wu Youming asked.
"I don't know." Ling Wu said, "I only know that as long as you die, I'll definitely die with you!
Because when I lost my love and dignity, I yearned for your loneliness! "
Wu Youming smiled faintly and said, "Alright then, let's die together!
It's pretty good to die in this place where no one will ever discover us! "
After that, the two of them lay quietly in the bloody mud and gradually sank down, waiting for the arrival of death!
