Someone had once told Qi Xia:
For the outside world, time in the “Land of Ends” was relatively static.
Looking at it now, this was indeed the case.
Even if it wasn’t relatively static, time here passed much more slowly than outside.
After all, when Qi Xia stepped into this place, he still saw powder remaining in the sky, having drifted for a long time.
He had clearly stayed in another place for such a long time, yet everything here seemed to have only just settled.
Smelling the scent here, looking at this unfamiliar environment, stepping on real earth—even Qi Xia couldn’t describe what he felt in his heart.
Was it nostalgia…?
Or was it hatred?
After “eternity,” Heavenly-Dragon also returned with weary eyes to the “Peach Blossom Spring” he ruled.
But he felt no happiness at all.
Once he set foot on this land, it proved that his and Qinglong’s rule was officially beginning to move toward failure.
Yet even Heavenly-Dragon hadn’t expected at this moment that coming here was merely part of “eternity.”
This incredibly long journey had not yet reached its end.
Qi Xia checked the “door” of “Blissful Bank.” He discovered that when he reentered this door, he wouldn’t return to the city of flesh and blood, but would emerge from the wardrobe in Golden Monkey’s room.
Naturally, Golden Monkey’s room also had an exit, except outside that exit was a void—the “corridor” had been shattered.
At this moment, Heavenly-Dragon also realized that what he had “Separated” on the “Train” was merely the corridor. In his dying moments, he thought that by completely destroying the corridor, all the rooms would drift in nothingness.
This caused countless rooms to have no corridor connecting them, each drifting separately in unrelated空間.
But facing these rooms scattered across the sky… what could Qi Xia do now?
Heavenly-Dragon once again underestimated Qi Xia’s perseverance.
Since he had Golden Monkey’s room, Qi Xia already had an idea. Although it would take a very long time, at this moment there was no other method more reliable than this one.
He began using Golden Monkey’s room as the origin point, summoning the doors of various rooms in the infinite starry sky.
He had once spent seven years on the “Train.” Although he couldn’t say he knew everything about this place inside and out, he could still remember the general distribution of personnel.
Starting from Golden Monkey’s room, each time he summoned a “door,” he would use flesh and blood to establish a connection between the two “doors,” then use the new “door” as the origin point to summon other “doors” anew.
Within this space, as long as he wanted to enter a certain “Zodiac’s” room, that “Zodiac’s” room’s “door” would drift toward him.
He was like a master of space in the universe, integrating the scattered space with his mortal body.
After experiencing another unimaginably long time, Qi Xia had almost connected all the rooms on the “Train” in a crooked, twisted manner with ropes of flesh and blood, including the room at the front of the train and all the “Heavenly-level” rooms.
Viewed from a distance, all the rooms were connected by branches of flesh and blood linking countless faintly glowing “doors,” growing in the pitch-black space into a bizarre yet magnificent writhing giant tree.
This time he would lead everyone to escape, and moreover, this time he couldn’t escape to a false world forged from flesh and blood, but to a new world where everyone could live normally.
Returning to “Blissful Bank,” Qi Xia began contemplating the next step of the plan.
For this phase of the plan to proceed in an orderly manner, there had to be several prerequisites, and these prerequisites couldn’t be accomplished by himself alone.
At this moment, Qi Xia’s “conviction” had reached nearly its peak over thousands of years. He attempted to create genuine humans who had once lived in his memory.
The first person he created was “Ingenious Object,” Zhang Lijuan.
The second person he created was “Soul Migration,” Zhang Chenze.
Upon seeing these two people again, Qi Xia showed a smile that spanned “eternity” for the first time.
He had never imagined there would be a day when he would meet them in this manner. Merely seeing familiar faces made him feel an unprecedented sense of relief.
And the two people before him had never imagined that “God” created them in order to kill them.
The two always felt that Qi Xia had only parted from them yesterday, yet Qi Xia used several days to tell them about the current situation.
Their performance was no different from any previous time.
Zhang Chenze understood the advantages and disadvantages of the entire matter in a short time, while Zhang Lijuan, though only half-understanding what she heard, was also willing to provide help.
Qi Xia needed Zhang Lijuan to construct the entire corridor, replacing the existing flesh and blood. Since the rooms had already been laid out, this step wasn’t difficult for Zhang Lijuan.
She had also run through the corridor before and was familiar with those wooden structures.
The group sourced materials locally from the “Land of Ends” and built a wooden corridor so realistic it could pass for real. After completing all this, he scattered all the flesh and blood supporting the corridor, letting it drift into the void.
The “Train” was officially restored.
“Zhang Lijuan, I owe you a favor,” Qi Xia said. “If there really is a day when we can escape, even if it comes to the final moment, I will definitely let you go.”
Zhang Lijuan didn’t know if she understood, but merely nodded woodenly.
Finally, Qi Xia created a third person.
A new version of himself.
The two looked at each other with tacit understanding, confirming the plan with almost a single glance.
“If the ‘Rebels’ board the ‘Train,’ you will become a ‘Participant,'” Qi Xia said.
“If the ‘Rebels’ board the ‘Train,’ I will become a ‘Participant,'” Qi Xia repeated.
“Even if you have no thoughts, no consciousness, you will still become a ‘Participant’ on that day,” Qi Xia said again.
“Even if I have no thoughts, no consciousness, I will still become a ‘Participant’ on that day,” Qi Xia repeated once more.
“You will only become a ‘Participant’ on the day of the decisive battle.”
“I will only become a ‘Participant’ on the day of the decisive battle.”
After these three oath-like statements were finished, Zhang Lijuan and Zhang Chenze looked at each other somewhat bewildered. They stared at the two Qi Xias, not knowing what these two Qi Xias were plotting.
“Finally… you need to change the positions of the ‘doors’ according to my wishes at the final moment,” Qi Xia said again. “They are the flesh and blood on your body. You will make theæ•‘ at the last moment.”
“Alright…” Qi Xia nodded, engraving all the words in his heart.
Next, Qi Xia handed Zhang Chenze a knife, pointed at the created Qi Xia and said: “Kill him.”
“Huh?”
Zhang Chenze was somewhat at a loss from this sudden turn of events.
“Kill him, and use ‘Soul Migration’ to transfer him to the entire corridor,” Qi Xia said. “I also owe you a favor. I will repay you at the final moment.”
The two really didn’t understand what Qi Xia meant, and Zhang Chenze was very resistant to killing someone with her own hands.
But facing such a bizarre situation at this moment, her rationality took the upper hand, and she ultimately chose to agree.
She touched the floor of the entire “Train” with her left hand, and thrust the knife into Qi Xia’s neck with her right hand.
Under the effect of “Soul Migration,” the entire “Train” became a special “Participant” waiting to be awakened.
Seeing this, Heavenly-Dragon’s back nearly became soaked.
Wait… if the “Rebels” boarded the “Train,” then the “Train” itself was a “Participant”?
What kind of bizarre suggestion was this?
He remembered that in his dream, he had “Separated” all the “Participants,” but on that day the “corridor” was also a “Participant”… According to this situation… could it be that at that time, he had unconsciously “Separated” the entire “Train” corridor?
“Baiyang… you…” Heavenly-Dragon didn’t know what to say. He felt that breaking this plan wasn’t as simple as killing everyone.
Even if they defeated all the “Rebels” on the “Train,” the “Train” would still fall apart on the final day.
Finally, after obtaining the consent of the two, Qi Xia personally killed Zhang Chenze and Zhang Lijuan using “a better future” as a trade, and carefully buried them by the roadside.
This desperate space had always been like this. To truly lead everyone to escape the entire space, his hands would inevitably be stained with blood.
Even if everything truly returned to seven years ago, he would restart the slaughter and deception, and all of this was to ultimately lead everyone to a brand new world.
Enormous evil karma led to ultimate good—the cause of extreme evil attempted to cultivate the fruit of the orthodox path.
If there truly was a “God” in this world, even “God” probably wouldn’t support his actions.
So he could only rely on himself.
In this land of despair, he would lead all his family to escape.
