Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 386 Nuwa

Countless white rays of light converged from behind to in front of him, then stretched out into the distance. The surroundings were shimmering with light, and occasionally some images appeared, some familiar and some unfamiliar, but they quickly disappeared.

Qin Xiaochuan stared at the strange scene before him, unsure of where he was. The soft warmth in his hand constantly reminded him that he was not dreaming. He held Guo Shiyi's hand tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.

So far, he has not found anything dangerous about this Holy Spirit's Judgment.

Suddenly, flames ignited ahead, followed by two, three, and more and more. In a short while, they were engulfed in a sea of ​​fire, with flames flickering in front of them, trying to lick their cheeks. Qin Xiaochuan stopped in his tracks, momentarily at a loss.

"It must be illusion," Guo Shiyi said. "The so-called test must be a trial of the heart through illusion."

Qin Xiaochuan agreed with her, and of course, he could only agree with her because they were completely surrounded by flames and had nowhere to go.

"When a person can always be pure and tranquil, the world will return to its original state." Qin Xiaochuan silently recited this sentence in his heart. He activated his Heart Seal skill, and his mind became clear. Under these circumstances, no illusion could deceive his eyes. But to his surprise, the flames did not disappear. Instead, they were slowly approaching him.

The white light suddenly became clearer in the flames, seemingly guiding them in the direction they were heading, but that direction led to a sea of ​​fire.

The sea of ​​fire pushed the two of them a step closer. Qin Xiaochuan seemed to smell the burning of his hair, and he subconsciously took a step back, but Guo Shiyi grabbed his hand.

Qin Xiaochuan stared at Guo Shiyi in surprise. The girl was looking at him calmly with a faint smile on her face.

"No one can control everything. You have to believe in fate's arrangements. You should have felt it too, its guidance," she said softly, her gentle tone conveying boundless strength.

Qin Xiaochuan suddenly calmed down, and the white light became clearer. He became more and more convinced that it was the guide of fate. No matter what dangers lay ahead, he should never let Guo Shiyi stand in front of him.

He decisively took a step forward and stood in front of Guo Shiyi, and the flames instantly engulfed him.

The pain spread throughout his entire body. This was not an illusion; it was real, agonizing pain. The suffocating heat and the burning sensation that seeped into his bones made him somewhat irritable. It was as if a primal violent desire deep within him had been stirred up, making him want to vent it and destroy everything in front of him. Fortunately, he maintained a clear mind and did not go astray.

It was indeed a difficult journey. Qin Xiaochuan didn't know what he was feeling as he went through it. When he stepped out of the flames, he vowed never to go through such a test again, because it was not only a test of the body, but also a torment of the mind. He felt that he simply could not bear such torment unless he had no choice but to endure it. Reality told him that people's endurance is far stronger than they imagined.

Fortunately, when they examined the body, no damage was found; it was as if it had just been an illusion, except that the pain was real.

They entered a hot spring, the warm water soaking into every inch of their skin, every cell seemingly breathing freely. It was an unparalleled joy, especially after just experiencing the burning of flames. The comfort was just right, making one want to stay there forever. At this moment, Qin Xiaochuan felt that the torment in the flames was worthwhile. If he had a choice, he would make this the end of his journey and not want to take another step forward. He didn't care what interesting things might happen ahead.

The white light became clearer in his eyes again, seemingly urging him to move forward. He turned to look at Guo Shiyi beside him. She had already closed her eyes, completely immersed in the comfort she was in, and seemed to have forgotten where she was.

Fortunately, some missions were still motivating him. Qin Xiaochuan knew he couldn't stay in this place. He took a deep breath and finally made up his mind to pull Guo Shiyi forward. When he pulled Guo Shiyi, she gave him a reproachful look.

Qin Xiaochuan could only give a helpless bitter smile, but he dared not stop for a moment. This journey was far more difficult than being in the flames, because he was fighting against another villain in his heart almost every moment.

"Stop here. It's so comfortable here. Who knows what we'll encounter if we go any further?"

"You've come this far, it's time to settle down. Being too willful will ruin everything you have now."

"Why make things so complicated? Isn't it nice to be comfortable here? Life is what it is, so why make things difficult for yourself?"

Qin Xiaochuan's breathing was heavy. He had to find his true thoughts among the countless voices, what he wanted to do, what kind of person he wanted to become, and where his destination was. Only by figuring these things out could he ignore the other voices. Only by keeping his eyes on that ultimate goal could he move forward without hesitation. He dared not stop. He was afraid that if he stopped even once, he would not have the courage to pick up his feet again.

When he stepped out of the hot spring, he was finally able to catch his breath. However, he felt that the real test had only just begun. Before him lay a black, poisonous fog. He didn't know what kind of transformative journey lay ahead. If the rest of the journey consisted of this endless, boundless fog, would he regret his choice to stay in the hot spring? He didn't know, and his steps faltered again.

The white light shone again, and this time he not only saw the white line, but also seemed to see a more distant place through the poisonous fog, a place of various colors, some he had already experienced, and some he had never seen before. The flames would reignite, the hot springs would be revisited, and the journey would be endless.

But Qin Xiaochuan suddenly made up his mind, and his gaze became incredibly firm. He took Guo Shiyi's hand and said to her, "Shiyi, I need you. No matter what happens ahead, will you walk with me?" His voice was so sincere, and his need was so clear.

Guo Shiyi stared at him blankly, a strange sense of satisfaction welling up inside her. "Okay," she said, then smiled radiantly, a smile that was deeply etched in Qin Xiaochuan's eyes, unforgettable for eternity.

"I believe in God's guidance," Qin Xiaochuan said calmly, as if he had just woken up from a dream. "I also accept the arrangements of fate with equanimity. Life is endless, and perhaps there is no end. Only the journey of the present moment is eternal, so there is no need to worry about the outcome in advance. Live in the present moment, and whether it is joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, it is an indispensable part of a rich and colorful life." As he spoke, he calmly walked into the black poisonous fog.

Qin Xiaochuan didn't know how long he walked before he reached the end of the white light. All the illusions disappeared, and they were in a space without boundaries on all sides. Everything around them was white. A figure appeared before him, with a human head and a snake body, long hair flowing down her shoulders, holding a staff in her hand. She was surrounded by auspicious five-colored light, solemn and noble, making people feel a sense of piety.

"You've finally arrived, chosen ones," the figure said, without any emotion.

"Are you the goddess Nuwa?" Qin Xiaochuan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but ask.
