Chapter 950: A Place That Might Not Exist

Within the Sui Ruins world, Xu Qing and Chen Erniu looked at the crack in the firmament, their thoughts constantly churning.

This experience in the Outer Sea could be described as bizarre for Xu Qing, whether it was the strange existences he encountered or the human old man just now.

Everything made his heart churn.

Especially the old man's words before leaving, which made Xu Qing's worldview roar on a large scale.

"Thirty-six Star Rings... Primitive Sea..."

Xu Qing's heart fluctuated. After he obtained the physical body shaped by Upper Desolation flesh and blood, he had vague inductions in the dark, and he had a vague impression of the thirty-six Star Rings.

But this was the first time he had heard of the Primitive Sea.

"Although the possibility of falsehood cannot be ruled out, it is highly likely to be true..."

Xu Qing pondered.

Beside him, Chen Erniu suddenly slapped his thigh, his expression serious.

"Little Ah Qing, I finally understand!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing looked over immediately. He wanted to hear the Captain's thoughts. After all, that human old man who claimed to be from the Immortal Capital of the Fifth Star Ring was too earth-shattering, whether in terms of his own cultivation or the words he spoke.

To describe it as inconceivable would not be an exaggeration at all.

Chen Erniu's expression was solemn as he looked at Xu Qing.

"Earlier on the sea, every time I said it was safe, we would encounter a big monster... Now looking at it, it was that old man who did it!"

"He did it on purpose!"

Chen Erniu felt a bit regretful, looking as if he had almost truly believed in his own ability to make things happen with words earlier.

Clearly, his thoughts were different from Xu Qing's, and he didn't go into the explosive information contained in the old man's final words.

Xu Qing was thoughtful upon hearing this. He was already used to the Captain's way of thinking, which was different from ordinary people.

"That Senior said earlier that the Fifth Star Ring is dominated by humans and is a world of immortals... but his words cannot be fully believed."

Xu Qing muttered in his heart, looking up at the crack in the firmament.

As for Chen Erniu, whether he truly didn't know this information or his heart was too big, his gaze currently fell on the place where the old gentleman had shaken his straw sandals.

He leaped over and searched in the mud.

Soon, he actually found four withered rice straws.

Picking them up like a treasure, Chen Erniu's eyes glowed with ecstasy. He bit one hard by his mouth, then frowned, discovering he couldn't bite through it at all.

Just as he was about to continue, he noticed Xu Qing's pondering expression, so he blinked.

"Don't think about it, Little Ah Qing."

"Just like me."

Chen Erniu muttered.

This last sentence, for Xu Qing, was like heavenly thunder, roaring in his heart and making his breathing rapid.

Compared to this, everything else, in Xu Qing's view, wasn't that important.

There were many guesses.

He had always been ignorant of the Captain's true identity, but the various bizarre things that had happened to the Captain over the years made Xu Qing naturally...

"Captain, you..."

Xu Qing looked at Chen Erniu.

Chen Erniu fell silent. After a long while, confusion rarely appeared in his eyes.

"Little Junior Brother, some call me a divine evil, some call me a freak... What I am, Master doesn't know, and I don't know either."

"I have actually been searching."

"And my memory, with the passage of time, with each resurrection, every time I recall some past, I forget some present."

"Actually... I have forgotten some things and habits of this life, which is why I remember you in a certain moment."

"I'm afraid that perhaps one day, Little Junior Brother, I won't recognize you, won't recognize Master... until my next life, I..."

Chen Erniu's voice grew lighter and lighter.

Xu Qing's

heart rose with an indescribable feeling. He couldn't distinguish what this feeling was, only feeling that it was very bitter and astringent.

And Chen Erniu, noticing Xu Qing's expression, had a flash of pride in his eyes that disappeared instantly. His heart was arrogant, secretly thinking, 'Little Ah Qing, oh Little Ah Qing, no matter how cunning you are, the Captain is still your Captain. Wanting to fool you is easy-peasy.'

"Then next, I need a perfect ending."

Thinking of this, Chen Erniu coughed lightly.

"Let's not talk about these sad things. Little Junior Brother, you don't need to be too sad. Remember to share more good things with me in the future."

"Like divine flesh, like authority, like divine power... Of course, dirty things like spirit stones are naturally the more the better. It's not that I, the Captain, am greedy; it's that the more things you give me, the more it can deepen my memory."

Xu Qing nodded, took out a spirit stone from his storage bag, and handed it to Chen Erniu.

Chen Erniu took a quick look, received it, and put it away, speaking with dissatisfaction.

"Only one?"

Xu Qing's expression was bitter upon hearing this.

"Captain, you used to like eating spirit stones the most, only eating one each time. You... have you forgotten this habit?"

Chen Erniu was stunned and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's expression was sincere.

Chen Erniu hesitated, took out the spirit stone, looked at Xu Qing, then hardened his heart, bit it in his mouth, crunched a few times, and swallowed it.

Just as he was about to speak, Xu Qing took out an iron sword, cast a spell to make it covered in rust, and handed it over.

"Ah?"

Chen Erniu was suspicious.

"Every time you finish eating a spirit stone, you say it lacks flavor, then eat an iron-rusted sword..."

Xu Qing spoke.

Chen Erniu fell silent. After a long while, he laughed.

"That, Little Junior Brother, I was just joking with you. How could I have amnesia? Absolutely nothing of the sort."

Xu Qing's gaze was clear, looking at Chen Erniu, and he spoke softly.

"Captain, I don't know how much of what you said earlier is true and how much is false, but I can feel that you care very much about those four words... so I want to tell you."

"I will work hard to ensure that nothing unpleasant happens to you and everyone I care about."

"If I can't do it, then... we will bear it together."

Xu Qing's voice fell into Chen Erniu's ears, echoed in his heart, and rose with turmoil.

He looked at Xu Qing, an impulse rising in his heart to disregard everything and tell him everything.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Captain, you have secrets, I have them, and Master has them too. When you think it's appropriate, tell me then."

Chen Erniu fell silent. After a long while, he laughed and nodded forcefully.

"Good!"

"Almost there..."

Outside the Wanggu world, in the starry sky, one holy land after another set off star storms, rolling with terrifying auras, approaching Wanggu.

Behind these many holy lands, there existed an eight-armed statue. Above the statue's head, everything was distorted.

Inside, vaguely, it seemed a person was sitting cross-legged.

"My hometown, my disciple, and... the Primitive Sea."
