Chapter 4: There is light first, or hope

God said that there should be light first, so there will be light.

When Yang Ze opened his eyes, the warm light came into his eyes, and then he subconsciously thought of this famous saying from different time and space.

His vision gradually changed from blur to clear. Wherever Yang Ze saw the distant blue sea, the white clouds crossing the sky like tassels above his head. The clouds were so white that they made people feel refreshed. The sun was scattered on his body, and a warm feeling appeared. Yang Ze then found himself lying on a soft beach, as if in a velvet quilt.

The sea water line in front is scattered with many wooden deck fragments soaked up and down in the warm wind of the sea.

At this time, his muddy head woke up and recalled how the man was destroyed by fatigue under the storm that day, and finally grabbed the wooden board in the storm and fainted at the last moment.

Yang Ze didn't know how long he had been drifting on the land, but he was just ready to get up and noticed something strange. He looked around his body and was surprised to find that after Da Ye assassinated Shangguan Yan and the day and night exercises during the exile, his body finally made a breakthrough when the ship encountered a natural storm that day. His cultivation level had reached the seventh level of the artistic conception of the existence!

There is a famous saying in Qiudao Academy on Mount Buzhou, which is that it is the process of constantly breaking through one's limits.

In the confrontation with the powerful natural storm that day, humans can burst out their potential to the greatest extent and gain the ability to surpass themselves and surpass the way of heaven. It is obvious that although the storm of that day wiped Yang Ze down to an unknown island and disappeared from the ship, they gained the advancement of cultivation in disguise. If such a progress was placed in the stable Daye Kingdom, it might have to be pushed back for a long time.

However, Yang Ze's joy of progress did not last long, and was filled with rational and cruel reality. The scene of escaping Lei Donglai that day was clearly and deeply imprinted in his memory!

In order to cover their departure, Yu Xiaoxiao did not hesitate to regret the flagship Blackwater Shinto, which came from Red Mansion, and at the last moment, it was very likely that he would win them precious escape time with his own life.

And from then on, there will be no Red Mansion in the world.

The famous Red House boat boat was personally annihilated by Lei Donglai. Master Hanzang, another pillar of Daye in Nanshu Temple, was still alive and dead. Yang Ze could imagine that such a series of shocking news would be transmitted to King Daye, which would cause a blow and shake to Daye, who is now in constant turmoil.

Perhaps at this moment, the news can no longer be blocked, and Shindozhai will have no reputation on the Daye border, and more people will be affected by the islanders. But this is the reality. In the contradictions between the strong, the first ones to be hurt are always the unarmed people.

At the same time, Daye was not having a good time either.

What practitioners have in this world is an existence that transcends group force and influence. They can even be used as a strategic weapon between certain forces or countries. Therefore, practitioners with a sense of cultivation are precious resources for a country's human and military power. In this way, the two masters of Tianxuan Realm, Yu Xiaoxiao and Master Hanzang, were lost, and Da Ye paid an extremely painful price.

Yang Ze may not care about Da Ye's honor and disgrace, but Yu Xiaoxiao and Master Hanzo who escorted him all the way out of the Da Ye Sea Realm had already entered his life to some extent and were remembered by him. Yang Ze thought of the Pure Islanders on the border of Da Ye's sea who suffered a catastrophe because of him. For the first time, he had a devastating feeling that completely destroyed Shindozhai, which was known as the number one destination for practice in Kashima Country!

However, for Yang Ze at present, a place like Shindozhai is still a powerful and difficult-to-surpass powerful existence. Now he may not even have the qualification to climb to the other person's mountain gate.

The Kushan Continent is divided into four regions: the eastern land area, the northern land area, the southern land area, and the western land area.

The Daye Kingdom is a small country under the empire in the Eastern Land area. The Shindozhai from Leidong is ranked among the last-place among the top ten practice sects in the Eastern Land area. However, such existence makes Yang Ze feel embarrassed and helpless.

Not to mention the Xitu Palace, which is in the eastern land area, how could he return the dilemma Yuanshu that he had a grudge against him and secretly fueled the fire. Should he really go to eat Ji Ling'er's soft rice?

Yang Ze admitted that he was not opposed to being soft-hearted, but men always needed to be tough sometimes, such as now when they were struggling in adversity.

However, how long will it take for him to grow from the tiny and the smallest, and to step on the colorful auspicious clouds and storm towards the Temple Situo and appear in front of Ji Ling'er?

The first time he discovered that even though he had the memory fragments of the Grand Master, and even the souls of different time and space, in this huge world, he was still as small as dust. Looking at the vast sea and the islands and reefs that were unknown, Yang Ze found that it might even be extremely slim when he could return to Daye now.

This slimness is like a certain period of time and hope in my heart, slowly closing like a door on this isolated island full of sunshine.

"Unwilling to give up? Hehe... I'm extremely embarrassed by a group of small people?" A voice that seemed to come from outside the world but was close to me.

At this time, Yang Ze came back from his previous low morale and despair as if he had woken up from his dream. He was startled by the sudden sound and looked to the side.

He saw a strange and familiar old man standing beside him.

The beards and eyebrows are white, the frosty beard droops the chest, and the white robe is as spotless as the clouds in the sky, not like the existence of the human world.

The reason why the old man was strange was that Yang Ze met such an old man he had never seen before on this strange island, not to mention that from his voice, he had been standing behind him just now, but Yang Ze did not sense at all. This situation alone was enough to make him sweat.

The reason why he was familiar with him was that Yang Ze inexplicably did not feel the dangerous aura from the old man's face, but instead stretched between his eyebrows, which made him feel inexplicably friendly.

"What a pity. Although it's not rare to have a spiritual vein body, it's so embarrassing, which is extremely rare!"

"Who are you?" Although these words were very vulgar, Yang Ze, at this moment, had only the question blurted out the most impatient question.

"Who am I? This question is very good." The old man slowly stroked his beard and smiled. "It's like I asked myself in the water in the mirror. There were fragments of my memory in your spiritual memory. Could it be that your memories are really blurred and you can't even remember my appearance?"

Yang Ze suddenly woke up and exclaimed, "Are you..."

"Your name is Yang Ze, my distant name is also Yang Ze. You are me, and I am you too!" The old man murmured, "To be precise, I am your soul, you fifty-five years later. At the last moment when my holy enlightenment entered the realm of divine enlightenment that day, my time and space were twisted, and my soul was broken, and I was sealed back fifty-five years ago, attached to the depths of your soul. If you hadn't practiced so slowly, you had reached the seventh level of intention and enabled the soul to gain enough waking power... I would have woken up long ago. If I hadn't existed, where would you think the memory fragments in your body come from?"

Yang Ze looked at the "self" in front of him in a daze and found that the old "self" not only showed unreal white robe, but even had his feet not landed on the ground, but was floating in the air in front of him in an understatement.

"I'm sometimes 'awakening' these days and sometimes 'slept'. Every time I wake up, it's the day when you're making a breakthrough. Every time I count the time for you to break through. If you didn't enter too slowly, why wait until now to be liberated? When I check your deep memories, I just didn't expect that just a group of clowns would force you into such a predicament... It's really too embarrassing to me." The soul didn't consider Yang Ze's expression and thoughts at the moment, and scolded him in a scattered manner.

Yang Ze still didn't come back to his senses from such a turbulent situation. He didn't find his place in such an extremely absurd but extremely real scene.

At this time, he realized why he felt a sense of affinity deep in his soul when he saw this not-so-kind old man. It was not because he was the incarnation of God or a god, but because he... was the future self, the great master in his memory. Even his old face was vaguely filled with eyebrows and eyes similar to him.

Who am I, who is me? This is one of the most difficult and highest-end propositions in philosophy. Yang Ze did not intend to understand the current problem that cannot be explained by a scientific worldview.

So he could only accept all this with the most primitive physiological reactions and functions: the soul of the great master is actually hidden deep in the memory fragments of his body.

Even the spiritual vein physique that was unheard of by Ji Ling'er, the saint of Xitu Palace, was called "not rare". However, his outstanding cultivation qualifications in Daye Kingdom were all used as "too slow to enter"! As for the master of Shendaozhai, who ranked among the top ten practicing sects in the East Land of Kushan, who cannot be underestimated, Lei Donglai, who intercepted them, was also regarded as "jumping clown". If Lei Donglai, who was traversing the East China Sea, would probably have to be angry immediately...

Yang Ze felt that all the awesome people he had ever met now seemed to be inferior to this "alternative self".
