Chapter 348: Chapter 342: Fang Renran and the Strange Woman_1
In the midst of darkness, Fang Ren wandered in a daze.
He didn't know the direction, and beyond the ground under his feet, he couldn't sense anything; he didn't know where he was heading, just kept walking on and on.
It seemed at the end of the endless darkness, light would eventually reappear.
He didn't know how long he had been walking when suddenly his arm bumped into something.
The next moment, a beam of white light shot up into the sky, illuminating the whole world; the intense light made Fang Ren close his eyes tightly, and his originally hazy consciousness suddenly became alert.
After some time passed, he began to gradually adapt to the light and finally opened his eyes to take a look around.
This place was a blank expanse of white; apart from the column of light beside him and himself, he could see nothing else.
"Where is this?"
Fang Ren recalled everything that had happened before, then started to call for Qianye, but to his surprise, he discovered that the Spiritual Root within him was gone!
"What's happening! My body was destroyed in the battle with that dragon, but I once picked the Rebirth Fruit from the giant tree, which should allow me to be reborn even after death, so why have I come to this place?"
Just as Fang Ren was at a loss, a woman's voice came from afar.
"The 9,111th celestial tree seed has taken shape, and the time remaining for the battle for the chosen is seventy-three years and thirty-three days. Chosen one, would you like to proceed immediately to the Hongyu Chasm to cultivate and take part in the battle for the chosen, to win the position of the true master of world space?"
The woman's voice was devoid of any emotion, cold like a machine of the present day.
Fang Ren couldn't understand what the woman meant, "Can we meet and talk in person?"
"The chosen one requests a meeting, waiting for the approval of the previous True Immortal's will... Command received, the 9,111th Chosen Servant, please proceed to the Land of Rising Sun."
The woman's voice came to an abrupt halt.
Meanwhile, in the distant universe, a streak of light shattered countless cosmic partitions, traveled through numerous galaxies, crossed the Milky Way, and arrived at Earth.
Boom—
A pillar of light from a distant land burst onto Earth, entered Tianjiang, and finally disappeared above a wasteland.
Countless people on Earth gazed at the sky, dumbfounded by the beam of light extending to an unknown distance, covering all things in the sky, even the sun. Explore stories at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net
Meanwhile, in the world blanketed by whiteness, a woman had appeared before Fang Ren.
The woman, clad in a white robe that covered a hundred meters around her, had her transparent silk shawl fluttering on her shoulders, a jade pendant and gold bell at her waist, with long red ribbons tied around her wrists, holding a jade plate in her hand, her forehead marked with cinnabar, her hair styled into a high immortal bun, and skin as smooth as cream...
as if a True Immortal had descended to the mortal realm.
She emitted an aura of sanctity that discouraged people from the heart to approach. Fang Ren couldn't help but feel, whether influenced by other factors or not, that mere appearance couldn't account for such unparalleled beauty.
Her jade pins rattled against the kingfisher feathers, her white flesh and cloud-like hair seemed to melt like snow.
Fang Ren couldn't help recalling the boudoir thoughts he shared with Hui Qing.
Well, Fang Ren had always thought his wife's beauty was peerlessly extraordinary, never expecting to meet a woman who seemed to have truly modded his perception of beauty with a cheat code.
But Fang Ren was certain that the woman's beauty was not merely due to her face; it was likely related to the aura she possessed, which caused such an effect.
"I have met the conditions for the chosen one. I ask again, would you like to go to the Hongyu Chasm immediately?" the woman asked again, her voice as cold as a machine.
Fang Ren stepped back a few paces, remaining vigilant.
All he wanted right now was to be reborn and rush back home to tell Hui Qing that he wasn't dead, and then spend a happy life with her and their daughter after the war. He had no time to waste on meaningless chatter with this woman.
"First, tell me where this is," Fang Ren said.
"Inside one of the many spaces at the end of the celestial tree," the woman answered.
"I don't understand any of this. I just want to know how I can leave," he said.
"Simply renounce your eligibility for the battle for the chosen."
"Fine, I renounce it," Fang Ren said decisively.
"..."
For the first time, a hint of expression appeared on the woman's face; she frowned slightly, her gaze incessantly assessing Fang Ren.
"I ask again, chosen one, do you..."
"I renounce it, no matter how many times you ask," Fang Ren said.
"Do you realize what you are giving up? It is an opportunity to become the True Immortal, the master of space, a chance countless beings wouldn't obtain even after innumerable cycles of reincarnation."
"We've got people on Earth who peddle pyramid schemes saying the same thing. Just let me go," Fang Ren said.
Feeling perhaps she wasn't clear enough, the woman elaborated, "If you attain the position of the True Immortal, you could leap beyond the Ten Thousand Realms."
"Earth is enough for me to handle. Let me go back," Fang Ren said, growing impatient.
The expression on the woman's face turned displeased, "Do you know how many tens of thousands of years I have waited for you?"
Fang Ren was baffled; what was wrong with this woman? Raving about space masters and celestial trees, and claiming she had waited for him for tens of thousands of years, as if one could live a thousand years would already be a miracle, let alone tens of thousands?
In those pyramid schemes, they would always spout nonsense like, "Young man, your thinking astounds me, at a glance I could tell you're the genius I've been waiting for in my lifetime!"
"You go back first. I'll wait for you on Earth for another few tens of thousands of years, that will do," Fang Ren said frowning.
He really felt like cursing, but since he wasn't clear on the woman's strength and capabilities, what if making her angry prevented him from returning?
How could he face Hui Qing shamelessly?
The woman's face grew cold, and with a flick of the red string in her hand, she turned to leave. However, after waiting for tens of thousands of years, she couldn't swallow the indignity of rejection.
"Why is my messenger such a worthless being!" the woman cursed under her breath.
