Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 687: The Boundary between Life and Death
Regarding death, Xu Yuan may not be the person who thinks the most, but he is probably the person in this world who understands death. After all, coming back to life from the dead is like reincarnation, which is an absolute technical job.

After that resurrection, whenever it was late at night and he was alone, Xu Yuan would unconsciously think about what the hell this fucking thing called life was.

As one of the absolute ruling classes in this world, Xu Yuan has actually read a lot of internal references on life research.

Research related to past lives cannot be carried out due to modern moral constraints, but feudal dynasties did not have so many human rights and animal rights.

Ten thousand years ago, in addition to the disaster of leaving nine out of ten houses empty, the White Walkers also brought with them the crazy flesh-editing technology, which allowed researchers to create a one-to-one copy of a living person.

In order to master the authority of the gods, practitioners never give up their efforts.

But the result was doomed to failure.

They did not create new humans, but only created a group of mindless flesh and blood puppets.

Even if you create a person according to the template of the experimental subject, with no difference in appearance or inside, from bones to flesh, from meridians to brain, you will only get a puppet without thoughts.

After seeing these things more often, Xu Yuan would feel fortunate.

These failed studies, on the contrary, prove that he is still himself now, rather than being copied after his death, another existence with Xu Yuan's thinking pattern.

Therefore, Xu Yuan is convinced that there must be an anchor point between life and death, which is the so-called soul.

Xu Yuan did not believe the rumor about the weight of the soul in his previous life, because the medicine of his previous life had proved that human thinking is made up of the collision of neurons in the brain, and humans are basically a honeycomb consciousness composed of a group of cells.

And in this life, Xu Yuan still doesn't know.

Although the definition of the soul is similar to that of the spirit, they are completely different things. It is just a carrier, a carrier that is no different from the physical body.

The only thing in this world that can be called a soul is basically the soul mark, but the soul mark is still shrouded in an unknown fog.

So,
Watching the gray fog surging around him gradually forming a vortex with him as the center, Xu Yuan had no idea what would happen next.
Anyone who has experienced death should know that before death, you will not see mythical figures such as the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters, nor will there be a revolving lantern to summarize your life. What you will have are only endless negative emotions that envelop your entire soul and make your life worse than death.

But fortunately,

This state will only last for a moment, and after you are completely dead, you will no longer feel anything.

Unfortunately,
After the eye of the gray fog was formed, Xu Yuan has been in a state worse than death.

If I had to use a word to describe this state,
Xu Yuan thinks it can be called,
The boundary between life and death.

One side of the line represents life, the other side represents death.

No one in this world should be able to stay in this state forever. The process of death is irreversible. Once standing on this dividing line, life can no longer retreat and can only fall towards the darkness called death.

Complex and overlapping sounds came whistling in, one after another. Whenever Xu Yuan wanted to hear clearly what these sounds were saying, they would suddenly fade away, like sand flowing through his palm.

Xu Yuan felt like his head was going to explode.

He was being alienated rapidly and adapting to this situation rapidly.

And in this process,
Standing on the dividing line between life and death, Xu Yuan was filled with pain and gradually realized many things.

He understood Mu Nuo's existence, understood why it was eager to devour him, and understood why it had no sense of death.

All living things in the world go from birth to death, but it goes from death to life.

From the moment he was born, Mu Nuo has been standing on this dividing line, trying hard to cross it and move from death to rebirth.

But this process is doomed to fail.

Even if Mu Nuo wanted to devour all the living creatures in the world, it would not be possible for it to cross this natural chasm.

This is the chasm that separates life and death.

Xu Yuan had once felt that the same origin did not come from the Ghost Willow Yin Source that he had once merged with, but something at a higher level.

His existence itself.

That which goes from life to death, and from death to life itself.

Once Mu Nuo swallows him, he will be able to cross the dividing line between life and death.

Amid the noisy whispers, Xu Yuan inexplicably thought of Tianyuan's prophecy of disaster, and then he wanted to laugh.

If it weren't for that assassination, he wouldn't have had the chance to come back to life, and Mu Nuo wouldn't have been able to complete his own conditions.

He shot himself in the foot.

But I don’t know what changes will happen to his existence if Mu Nuo really devours him and crosses the boundary between life and death.

Xu Yuan thought that the health bar should be bright. I really don't know what Mu Nuo is thinking. There are people in this world who would try every means to weaken themselves.

It is difficult to go from death to life, but easy to go from life to death.

Just a little help from outsiders.

If you don't have your health bar, the group of bosses outside can't kill you. If you dare to show your health bar, no matter how thick it is, they can pierce it.

However, when Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and saw the golden light emanating from his body, he suddenly understood the little devil's motives.

The boundary between life and death represents despair for any existence.

The reason he could keep his thoughts focused despite the maddening whispers in his ears was because Yan Tian's spirit was protecting his original intention.

Although as the time in the gray fog prolonged, the protective power of Yantian's soul was beginning to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye, it still existed.

It seems that Xu Yuan is not the first person in this world to transcend life and death.

At least,

The person who created the Yantian Jue had also entered this boundary between life and death.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan was suddenly stunned.

His previous thoughts allowed him to capture some things, and bits of information in his mind began to be connected.

and many more,

Jiantian Tower.
Catastrophe
Mu Nuona is driven by instinct to cross the boundary between life and death and devour all living things.
If he had died on that rainy autumn night, Mu Nuo would have been a template for disaster.

Tian Ye would not come out of the Qionghua Secret Realm. Without the support of Gui Liu Yin Yuan, the birth of Mu Nuo would be pushed back by several years or even dozens of years.

When it came to the world, it could not obtain the conditions to complete itself, and was driven by instinct to devour all living things, creating a dead zone for living beings. At that time, the human race had probably become extremely weak due to the civil war.
But if Mu Nuo is really the disaster itself,
So, are human factors too important in the birth of this disaster?
The woman who gave Wan human consciousness.

The process of Mu Xingyi's birth as the son of the Insect Saint.

The love at first sight between Wan and Mu Xingyi.

as well as,

The combination of the two gave birth to the unknown flash that suddenly appeared in Mu Nuo's memory that night.

Disasters should be caused by nature, but Mu Nuo's birth seems to be man-made.
Thinking about this,

Xu Yuan felt as if he had caught something, but at this moment, the golden light surrounding him dissipated, Yan Tian's soul was shattered by the whispers of death, the whispers in his ears gradually became louder, and the surging negative emotions surged.

In an instant,

The malice on the dividing line of death enveloped Xu Yuan like a tide.

He began to sink towards death and fell into purgatory.

During this process,

For a moment, Xu Yuan wanted to talk to Mu Nuo.

Talk about your findings and the possible causal relationships.

But after Xu Yuan saw the resentment in Mu Nuo's eyes, he gave up this idea.

This kid has no more concerns and is not someone who can communicate at all.

Some helpless.

Xu Yuan really hates this feeling of being arranged.

As the one who caused the death of his parents,

Whatever the reason,

It's a life-and-death struggle between him and Mu Nuo.

The two of them are now standing on the dividing line between life and death. Xu Yuan has no intention of taking a step to the other side for the time being. He still wants to figure out what he just realized, so he can only let this little ghost die.

But before that,
He had to let it live before he could let it die.

Feeling the noisy madness of the boundary between life and death, and recalling the eternal peace on the other side, Xu Yuan's torso condensed in the soul scar began to frantically absorb the cursed gray fog that accompanied Mu Nuo's birth.
