Even someone as strong as Qi Xia had lost all options in this space.
He couldn’t see light in any direction. He didn’t even know which direction he was now looking toward.
He extended his hand but couldn’t see his own fingers. He shouted aloud but heard no echo.
An unprecedented sense of loneliness and despair began to simultaneously surface in the hearts of both Qi Xia and observer Heavenly-Dragon.
Since he didn’t know how long he would have to float in this bizarre space, the only thing Qi Xia could do was maintain his rationality.
After discovering that no matter which direction he moved it was all pitch black, he began constantly recalling his own miserable life in his mind to keep himself awake.
But no matter how many times he recalled that life, it was all despair and failure.
Heavenly-Dragon began to be gradually affected by the despair in Qi Xia’s heart, but he could only stand from Qi Xia’s perspective experiencing all of this, yet never had any way to intervene.
In this pitch-black nothingness, the Qi Xia before his eyes hadn’t gone mad yet, but Heavenly-Dragon felt he was about to go mad.
This was a kind of completely empty madness.
Perhaps for anyone, time at this moment was passing minute by minute, second by second, but for Qi Xia in this space…
The only thing passing was his thoughts.
Apart from his actively thinking mind, everything else seemed to be still.
Endless darkness and an unclear path ahead were enough to break any person with a strong heart.
Whether it was Qi Xia or Heavenly-Dragon.
Beyond Heavenly-Dragon’s expectations, no one in the entire space gave him any response.
“White-Sheep…?” Heavenly-Dragon called out tentatively again, but the entire space remained quiet.
Heavenly-Dragon thought this boded ill. If “Eternity” continued like this, regardless of whether Qi Xia would go mad, he himself would definitely lose his rationality.
But what exactly was this “dream” about?
He had died, but he himself didn’t know it?
Thinking of this, Heavenly-Dragon felt his thoughts becoming somewhat chaotic. He seemed unable to distinguish between the interweaving of various dreams and reality.
Which experience was actually real…?
He could only hurriedly try every method to sever “Enter Dream,” but only now discovered that his “Faith” seemed as insignificant as an ant before this entire world.
This world possessed “Faith” as magnificent as the universe. It firmly locked him in place, with no way to escape.
“White-Sheep… are you toying with me… experiencing ‘Eternity’ in this place where there’s nothing, how am I supposed to glimpse the method of becoming a ‘God’?”
But no matter how Heavenly-Dragon cursed and shouted, he still couldn’t get even the slightest sound in response.
In the boundless nothingness, only Qi Xia’s intermittent train of thought was transmitted to him, making him feel as if he too had experienced a complete lifetime.
After Qi Xia had repeatedly recalled his own life many times over, he began recalling life in the “Land of Finality” within the nothingness.
To keep himself from going mad, he made his thoughts as active as possible, but his eyes gradually lost focus in the prolonged nothingness, and his expression also became increasingly wooden.
Using finite thoughts to break through infinitely static time…?
Qi Xia knew that to maintain consciousness, he had to find something to do.
After many more days passed, even observer Heavenly-Dragon’s consciousness began to scatter.
That damned White-Sheep still hadn’t acknowledged him, letting him follow the master of this dream wandering through the entire “Eternity.”
He somewhat regretted entering this story through “Enter Dream.”
This “Enter Dream” was unlike any other. He was like a remnant soul standing beside the dream’s master. They were experiencing all of this together, time passing minute by minute, second by second, without even the qualification to fast-forward.
Just as Heavenly-Dragon was in a daze, Qi Xia before him seemed to think of something and suddenly widened his eyes.
His pupils began to gradually gain light, and expression also appeared on his face.
He extracted a detail from his experiences in the “Land of Finality.”
He remembered something Heavenly-Dragon had said—
The “Train” is ready.
The “Train” had three stations, but aside from “Taoyuan,” the remaining two stations were both complete nothingness.
His train of thought began to explosively leap from this moment. Countless thoughts began flashing through his mind, and these flashing thoughts were also transmitted to Heavenly-Dragon’s mind.
Heavenly-Dragon was shocked speechless by this scene. Nothing had happened, yet the speed at which Qi Xia’s thoughts were flashing at this moment made it impossible for Heavenly-Dragon to keep up at all.
Before understanding what the previous thought meant, the next thought would flash by.
“Wait…” Now it was Heavenly-Dragon’s turn to be shocked. “This is the ‘next station’?”
He floated beside Qi Xia, looking at that boundless, endless nothingness. Could this be the “new world” he had been longing for?
After the “Train” was damaged, Qi Xia, as the only living person, had fallen into this “new world”?
“Complete nothingness…” Qi Xia murmured. “That’s right… complete nothingness… I’ve got it… I understand now…”
Due to the abundance of thoughts, at this moment even Heavenly-Dragon didn’t know what Qi Xia was trying to do.
He saw him extend his hand, seeming to want to touch something, but there was nothing in that hand.
“Not enough ‘Faith’…” Qi Xia murmured. “Can’t use anything here… I still need time…”
No matter what, Heavenly-Dragon hadn’t expected that Qi Xia’s statement “need time” would be spoken so lightly and casually.
Because after this statement, he began to empty his mind, completely not controlling his rationality, and began drifting aimlessly in this space.
Time began to pass. Since there was nothing here to reference, even Heavenly-Dragon didn’t know how long had passed.
Perhaps several months, perhaps a year or two.
Qi Xia never spoke another word, nor did “White-Sheep’s” voice ring out in the space. Only Heavenly-Dragon was left alone shouting in this place.
His physical body wasn’t in this “Eternity,” causing his mind to be exceptionally clear. He didn’t even have a way to nap or fall asleep. He clearly, minute by minute, second by second, spent extremely long years.
This was slow torture he had never imagined.
Only now did he finally feel how insignificant a so-called “God” was before this eternal time.
Just a year or two of time was enough to make a person who called himself a “God” shout in despair in this place.
Finally, at some time point without any warning, just like last time, Qi Xia suddenly had movement.
He abruptly raised his hand, then his fingers moved slightly, as if making some motion.
Seeing this scene, Heavenly-Dragon was overjoyed. Although he didn’t know how long he had waited, Qi Xia seemed to be preparing to start acting.
If he hadn’t raised his hand, Heavenly-Dragon would have almost thought he was facing a corpse.
But after a few seconds, Qi Xia’s fingers stopped moving, and nothing happened in the entire space.
Qi Xia sighed, slowly lowered his hand, lowered his head, and once again entered silence.
“Don’t…” Heavenly-Dragon said somewhat desperately. “Don’t do this… what do you want to do? Try again!”
But no matter how much Heavenly-Dragon shouted, Qi Xia only quietly kept his head lowered. His eyes were slightly open, looking forward, as if dead.
Endless despair and darkness once again surrounded Heavenly-Dragon. This was the most unacceptable situation.
If Qi Xia had never moved at all, Heavenly-Dragon could have endured this endless darkness, but he had just moved that one time.
When would the next movement be? What exactly was he trying to do?
Thus in this breakdown-inducing wait, every year or two Qi Xia would suddenly raise his hand, move it in the air a few times, then lower his head again.
At first, Heavenly-Dragon still waited for Qi Xia’s movements with anticipation, but every time was like this. Heavenly-Dragon only felt he had been toyed with once again.
