sleepwalking

Chapter 297 What is the purpose of living?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xu asked, "What are you?"

The soul of Sotu Edith spoke, "I am a star beast. A strange beast conceived in the fruit of the world tree. Life is as long as a universe. Feeds on the stars. The planets are my bread, and the stars are mine Jam, shooting stars are my condiment..."

"Even, my life is longer than a universe. As long as I leave this universe and travel to other universes before the universe dies, I can continue to survive..."

"When this universe died, I was sleeping, and I didn't have time to travel to other universes, so I was trapped here."

Zhang Xu then asked, "You said you feed on planets. But, judging from your size, you can't swallow a planet at all."

The soul of Sotu Eddis spoke, "My current size is one billionth of what it was before. In order to preserve my body and soul, I reduced my size."

Zhang Xu nodded, "I will try my best to get the fruit of the world tree, about ten years. Can you hold it?"

The soul of Sotu Edith said, "Yes, I can last about another 3000 years."

Zhang Xu said, "That's good. I'm leaving. Take care of yourself. I'll come to you when I get the fruit of the World Tree."

"System, go back to the original world." Zhang Xu contacted the system.

Feeling in a trance for a while, Zhang Xu opened his eyes and lay on the bed by himself.

"Ding dong, the host collected three white dwarfs and two planets in the cosmic grave, plus [-] experience points."

"Ding dong, three white dwarfs and two planets can be exchanged for the system, worth [-] points. Do you want to exchange?"

"exchange."

"Ding dong, the host exchanged to the system for three white dwarfs and two planets, plus [-] points and [-] experience points."

Zhang Xu looked at the attributes.

Host: Zhang Xu (human race)

Power: 2058
Speed: 2057
Mental Power: 8511
Level: Level 1750554 (10000000/8249646) is still short of [-] experience points before it can be upgraded.

Points: 147449
Zhang Xu frowned.The tasks assigned by the system are becoming more and more outrageous and difficult to complete.

I really don't know what will happen if this continues.

In the past, Zhang Xu always looked forward to traveling to another world.

But now, I feel a little apprehensive, a little scared.

Zhang Xu was thinking, when the system spoke in Zhang Xu's soul, "That senior Qi Qingyang just failed to complete this task, and his soul was imprisoned in the cosmic tomb. Without his soul, his body and body are so good, attracting evil spirits." into his body, and went mad."

Zhang Xu frowned, "Then how could he leave his last words in the end?"

The system was silent for a while, "That's a wisp of his soul left in his body. The task was not completed, and he didn't find it when he was finally imprisoned."

Zhang Xu remained silent.

The system continued, "Many things are beyond the control of my system. I am also controlled by some higher beings. For example, mission punishment and confinement of his soul in the cosmic tomb are all done by those beings."

Zhang Xu smiled, "What is the higher existence for?"

The system said, "I can't tell. I just want to tell you that my fate and your fate are intertwined. You work hard to collect things and complete tasks, and I work hard to assist you."

Zhang Xu was silent.The system didn't speak anymore.

Zhang Xu got up, finished washing, and stayed in the room when he heard his grandfather Zhang Yuanli and Zhang Xiaoshan also get up.

There are more human voices in the yard, and the silence is not so dead.

After staying in the cosmic tomb for a long time, Zhang Xu found that he really had a little distaste for the dead night and early morning.

Then, through the window, Zhang Xu saw his grandfather Zhang Yuanli happily smoking a pipe and chatting with Zhang Xiaoshan and the others.

Zhang Xiaoshan and others were also in a very good mood.

"Grandpa, grandpa" shouted, making grandpa Zhang Yuanli's smile even wider.

Zhang Xiaohong made breakfast, and everyone ate breakfast together.Zhang Xu and his grandfather Zhang Yuanli and Zhang Xiaoshan sat under the tree in the yard and talked.

Zhang Yuanli took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Xiao Xu, the Chinese New Year will be here in half a month. The day after tomorrow we will go to the market to purchase some things for the Chinese New Year."

"Okay, grandpa."

"I also want to buy new clothes for Xiaoshan and the others. By the way, I will also buy new clothes for you."

Zhang Xu smiled, "Grandpa, I want to buy you new clothes too."

Zhang Yuanli was obviously very happy after hearing Zhang Xu's words, but he waved his hands, "Grandpa is getting old, why are you still wearing new clothes?"

Zhang Xiaoshan said, "Grandpa, you are not old at all. You are in good spirits, about the same as a 20-year-old young man."

Zhang Xiaoshui also spoke, "Grandpa, you are really in good spirits. Don't say you are old in the future."

After making an appointment to go to the set the day after tomorrow, and talking some gossip, Zhang Xu was ready to go out.

I had agreed with Zhuo Wanting that I was going to see her today, so naturally I couldn't break the appointment.

After bidding farewell to grandfather Zhang Yuanli, Zhang Xiaoshan and the others, he patted Yoyo's head, and Zhang Xu walked out of the yard.

At the entrance of the village, I got into the car and went straight to the gate of the academy.

Although driving, Zhang Xu was still thinking about what the system said.

What higher existence, what exactly is it.

Even places like the cosmic grave can be controlled, is it the way of heaven?

Zhang Xu always felt that the Dao of Heaven might not be able to compare with this higher existence.

Looking at the noisy crowd and the endless stream of cars, Zhang Xu was suddenly in a daze.

Looking at it this way, the joy of these people, the struggles of these people, the emotions of these people and everything else are all in vain.

People are so insignificant.

Not to mention compared with a planet or a universe, even compared with other people who are also human beings, many people are very small.

What is the purpose of such a small, humble living being?
And myself, although I have acquired a special ability, and my current strength is considered good, but compared to many things, it is still so small.

For example, even if the starry sky behemoth conceived in the fruit of the world tree is so powerful, such a high-level creature will have helplessness and life-threatening situations.

What can I count as myself?
Zhang Xu was driving the car, his mind was blank.

I even had the idea of ​​driving into the wall on the side of the road and leaving in such a vigorous way.

Immediately, Zhang Xu shook his head.

Don't say that I am very capable now, but I don't have much ability. I live in a humble way like ordinary people. As long as my grandfather is still there, I can't choose this path.

Zhang Xu suppressed the aggrieved feeling in his heart, and drove to Zhuo Wanting's house.

This feeling seems to be filled with indignation, uneasiness, apprehension, and resentment...

It was so complicated that Zhang Xu didn't even understand it.

Arriving at the gate of Zhuo Wanting's house, Zhang Xu parked the car outside the community, and Zhang Xu walked downstairs to Zhuo Wanting's house.

Before going outside the door of the building, she saw Zhuo Wanting.

The little girl smiled at Zhang Xu.

Immediately, Zhang Xu's heart warmed up, a hundred flowers bloomed, and hell instantly became heaven.

　Five more today...
