Chapter 1638: Chapter 1639: The Bird in the Cage
Infinite illusionary realm loop!
The first challenge is infinite death! The second challenge turns out to be infinite illusions!
Time and again, Ye Luo breaks through the illusions, one after another!
To put it simply, this time, any single mistake by Ye Luo could mean being lost forever in the illusions!
If the first challenge tests Ye Luo’s courage by evaluating him through repeated trials,
then the second challenge examines Ye Luo’s observational skills and the belief in his heart!
Because among the scenes before him, there are things that make Ye Luo extremely angry, and some illusions even tempt him to give in and want to sink into them!
However, Ye Luo persisted!
Attempting time and again, constantly breaking through!
No matter how perilous, Ye Luo still managed to withstand it!
...
"Passed again, how interesting!"
Suddenly, a voice abruptly sounded!
With the emergence of this voice, the scenery before Ye Luo changed once again!
This time, five boxes appeared in front of Ye Luo.
At the same time, there was also a shadow!
"You’re pretty good, quite entertaining, managing to pass the two checkpoints I set up! It’s a pity my challenges are not yet fully perfected, but this time, consider yourself lucky. Here, there are five boxes in front, and you can only choose one of them. Hmph, the grown-ups have rules that forbid me from forcibly keeping you main plane beings to play with me, so I give you a chance; one of these five boxes contains the key to leaving here!
Let’s see how lucky you are. If your luck is good, you can leave, and I won’t stop you from anything. But if your luck is bad, then obediently stay in this little house I’ve made and keep me company, alright!"
What!
Grown-up?
Toy?
What the heck, Ye Luo is now being looked at as a toy by a childlike entity among void beings!
Oh god!
What kind of thing is this?
At this moment, Ye Luo was deeply frustrated but also profoundly helpless!
Too powerful!
It’s really too strong!
This is what is called a void being!
Even just a child can manipulate Ye Lu however they wish!
Ye Luo’s only value in their eyes is as a toy?
At this moment, Ye Luo was reminiscing about his childhood!
Back then, he was very young and loved to play, but Dao Xuan was strict with him, urging him to cultivate every day!
Back then, Ye Luo was merely a child, and naturally, he desired to play.
But in the deep mountains, where were any playmates!
So Ye Luo secretly caught a little sparrow and put it in a cage he made himself!
Back then, didn’t Ye Luo say the same to the sparrow?
"If you can escape, I’ll let you go, otherwise, you’ll play with me..."
Indeed, Ye Luo did such things, but how could the sparrow possibly resist in front of Ye Luo? How could it have the ability to escape!
Even though Ye Luo was just a child then, and the cage he made was simple, the sparrow was utterly powerless to escape...
Three days later, the sparrow died. Ye Luo was quite disappointed at the time, but only slightly disappointed and forgot about the sparrow a few days later!
But today!
Ye Luo reminisced about that childhood scene!
Because now, he is experiencing a situation similar to that time!
Only this time, Ye Luo is the sparrow!
And the mischievous kid is an unimaginably powerful entity unknown to Ye Luo!
Perhaps that sparrow viewed Ye Luo the same way back then!
Considering Ye Luo as an incomprehensible existence!
Ye Luo was captured only because the void being’s child was bored!
At this moment, Ye Luo was filled with myriad feelings, only he could understand!
Ye Luo knew that compared to him, the void being’s child was already much better!
At least, he gave him the chance to choose; among the five boxes, one holds the key to escape!
Back then, Ye Luo didn’t give that sparrow any chance at all!
Evil, perhaps?
Maybe!
But they are inherently beings from two different planes!
In Ye Luo’s heart, he didn’t care about the sparrow, as it was too weak to deserve his attention!
Just as now, Ye Luo is so weak before the void being that it’s not worth noticing!
"I’ll choose this box!"
Ye Luo knew he had no power to resist, just like the sparrow had no power to resist him back then!
He can only choose, entrusting his fate to luck!
In fact, Ye Luo knew in his heart that the decision lay solely in the hands of that void being’s child!
Whether he picked the key was not about whether the box contained the key but whether the void being’s child wanted to let him go!
...
After a moment of silence, finally, the voice spoke again.
"Alright, little guy, you chose right, I’ll let you leave, but I really wanted to keep you as a toy. I heard your plane has many fun things, but sadly, I’m still too young, only ten thousand years old this year, not old enough to go out. My mother said when I’m a billion years old, I can play in your main plane, but I really want to hear about the main plane’s things...
Little guy, how about you stay and play with me, alright? I’ll give you lots and lots of tasty things, okay?"
Those words!
Back then, didn’t Ye Luo also tell the sparrow he’d give it lots and lots of tasty things? But the food Ye Luo gave was not liked by the sparrow!
Just like now!
In the space, a ripple appeared, and a massive object fell before Ye Luo!
Divine Dragon!
A genuine Dragon Clan corpse!
This entity casually threw to Ye Luo a Divine Dragon as food?
Ye Luo admitted that to cleanse with Dragon Blood, for him, would be indeed a great thing, strengthening his bloodline power, rapidly boosting his strength!
It’s an immense temptation!
But Ye Luo absolutely did not dare to approach!
Because back then, Ye Luo thought the sparrow agreed to his offer after feeding it a little worm. So he locked the sparrow until it died...
And at that time, young Ye Luo never doubted that his actions could be wrong!
So Ye Luo understood if he rashly accepted the Divine Dragon’s corpse now, he would be eternally trapped here!
Ten thousand years?
A ten thousand-year-old child?
Sounds quite terrifying, doesn’t it!
