Chapter 107: Transcending outside the chessboard, taking all things into view

~7 min read 1,291 words

"Boom!"

With the last slash collision, the moment the blades met, the air waves exploded, and the ground cracked under their feet. Between Ye Xuan and Aizen, the sword light was like electricity, every slash carrying a sharp whistling sound.

However, unlike before, this time, Aizen's rhythm rarely appeared stagnant. On the contrary, every sword of Ye Xuan accurately slashed at his weak points, and even faintly suppressed his offensive.

Between the crossing of sword lights, Aizen's brows furrowed imperceptibly. Ye Xuan's progress was faster than he had anticipated.

"Zheng—!"

With the last sound of the sword, the two put away their swords. Aizen stared at Ye Xuan, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect your sword Dao to improve so rapidly."

"Even for me, I might not be your opponent now."

Aizen was indeed a bit surprised. Although he had anticipated that Ye Xuan might not need much time to surpass him, he didn't expect it to be so fast.

During the last exchange, Ye Xuan's sword technique was strong but still under his control. Now, just a month later, Ye Xuan's sword intent was already so thick, and even faintly suppressed him.

"And compared to the sharpness of the Wangquan Wan Wan Jianyi last time, this time there are many more things in your sword intent."

Although the world systems are different, in a strict sense, there is no such mysterious thing as sword intent in the Death world. It is mainly based on sword moves and sword momentum, still belonging to the battle of spiritual pressure.

But he could still feel some special artistic conception from Ye Xuan's sword during the exchange of sword techniques.

Wind, water, wood, mountain, thunder... it was a feeling that couldn't be described. It was clearly just a sword, but heaven, earth, and all things seemed to appear before his eyes.

If he wasn't sure that Ye Xuan wouldn't do this, he would have thought he was hypnotized by Kyoka Suigetsu.

In just one month, he had made such great progress in sword Dao; what exactly happened to Ye Xuan?

And compared to the improvement in sword technique, what he cared about more was the subtle change in Ye Xuan, a transformation in the level of temperament.

If he had shown a posture of being beyond the world after stepping into a brand new realm before, one could see the difference from ordinary people at a glance; then now, the figure standing in front of him gave people a strange sense of alienation.

It was not the arrogance deliberately done, nor the coldness of pretending to be deep, just like a different color suddenly appearing in an ink painting, naturally attracting everyone's attention.

Indifference to all things as nothing? No, it was more like he had already stood at a higher dimension, looking at this world like an observer.

This posture was somewhat similar to himself who had planned everything and stood above all chess pieces as a chess player, transcending outside the chessboard and taking all things into view.

But it was also different.

If he had regarded himself as a god and looked down on all living beings back then, then Ye Xuan at this moment was more like... integrated into some more magnificent existence.

"I want to know what made you have such a big change."

Aizen didn't hesitate and asked directly.

The reason for asking so directly was also because he knew that as a hand-made figure, even if he knew these things, it wouldn't have any impact on Ye Xuan.

"Just by borrowing the power of the Rat Talisman, from the perspective of Heavenly Dao, I saw more things."

"If one day in the future, you possess the status of the Spirit King, you will understand this change."

Ye Xuan said lightly.

Although the Spirit King in Death and the Emperor in the Emperor Armor are essentially different, it is not wrong for the Spirit King to possess a perspective close to Heavenly Dao in Death.

As the source of power in the Death world, the Spirit King had already seen the end of things from the beginning.

If Aizen could reach the level of the Spirit King in the future, he would naturally know what the "perspective of Heavenly Dao" he mentioned meant.

And Aizen also noticed that Ye Xuan didn't hesitate at all when he said this. This frankness was not out of trust, or confidence in himself, but simply because he didn't care.

The facts were indeed so.

Although Ye Xuan and Sacred Kaisha had different philosophies, Ye Xuan did not refute the point Sacred Kaisha made.

"In the limited life of mortals, there are few things worth remembering. In their short lives, they will selectively forget many aspects of their hypocrisy, lies, and betrayal, and only remember the glorious and brilliant side."

"But gods are different."

"For the main god who possesses a long lifespan and acts as the manifestation of civilization's will, every word they say and every choice they make is the embodiment of civilization's will."

"So gods will not lie, nor do they disdain to lie."

"When you possess the thinking of a god one day, you will also be like this."

Ye Xuan naturally didn't have the "thinking of a god." He hadn't been arrogant enough to carry out the will of civilization with his own will.

And Sacred Kaisha, he didn't think the other party had achieved "will not lie, nor disdain to lie."

At least in terms of the void, she and He Xi didn't study less; they just didn't admit the void, only admitting "secondary biology."

If Morgana knew earlier, she would have scolded her two more "bitches."

But for this passage of Sacred Kaisha, Ye Xuan didn't think it was wrong, just that the requirement for power was high enough.

In the Godlike world, there are not many third-generation gods in the known universe. The Angel civilization, which possesses two fourth-generation god-body sacred bodies, no less than three third-generation god-bodies, and several to dozens of second-generation gods, can look down on almost all civilizations in the known universe.

Even Carl of Death, before Sacred Kaisha went offline, had to hide himself.

She naturally has the qualification to say such things.

But in this world, if she descended into this world earlier in the future, maybe she could; but if the time was late, and a stronger existence descended, or even if the powerhouses on the Blue Star had already given birth to powerhouses who surpassed the Angel civilization, then she might have to consider it.

Of course, with Ye Xuan's current level on the Blue Star, he really doesn't need to care about anything.

Aizen listened quietly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

So that's it. This frankness is not trust, but because he has already transcended the level of needing to care. Just like humans won't lie to ants, Ye Xuan doesn't care at all that he knows this information.

No wonder he would feel so similar, but.

"The feeling of loneliness is not good, Ye Xuan-kun."

Precisely because he had experienced it, Aizen would say so.

The highest-level person is alone, not because he likes loneliness, but because there are no peers around him.

Because there are no peers, no one can truly communicate with him.

He is like this, and in his view, Ye Xuan is also like this.

It's just that Ye Xuan is luckier than him. In this world of dimensional invasion, no matter how high his height is, higher people will appear in the future.

His loneliness will only be a moment, not forever.

And he...
