Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 446 Cradle
Qin Yu stood under the black trees in Sanshudui, reaching out and stroking the dark and rough tree trunks. The words "touching the scene and making love" became more and more vivid at this moment.

Qin Yu felt as if a clear spring was flowing into his mind. The spring water was rushing and surging, washing away bit by bit some of the mud and dust that had been entrenched for nearly twenty years, revealing his true appearance.

At that time, it was also here, and with curiosity and a little fear, he slowly placed his palm on the tree that seemed to have turned into a desert, and the tree trunk immediately responded with a needle-like pain, which made him exclaim, The retreat also made the senior guide who was watching the fun not far away burst into laughter.

People who have lived in the pure and desolate Rong City all year round seem to have too thin skin and tender flesh in this wasteland.

Nearly a thousand years ago, these three piles of trees had witnessed a tragic and glorious battle to determine the wilderness. Hundreds of thousands of warriors who fought against the wilderness were born and died, and their bodies were wrapped in horse leather. And the bones of millions of wild beasts are buried under the black rock formations.

These three twisted black trees are the tombstones of those millions of wild beasts. Although Sanshudui has been regularly purified by the patrols of the Nanxiang Desolation Army for thousands of years, and is no longer poisonous, but if you touch the black tree with your flesh and blood, you will still clearly feel the edge in it.

Nearly twenty years later, the stinging feeling is still the same... But now, no one is grabbing his sleeves, angrily pulling him away from the tree and scolding him.

"Are you out of your mind?! How dare you touch that dirty thing with your hands? What if you are contaminated with toxins? Have you ever considered the people around you? Why are you always so inconsistent in what you do? I really No matter how many times I tell you, you still don’t change anything..."

His wife's incessant chatter seemed to be more painful than the trunk of the black tree twenty years ago, so much so that he subconsciously said it back, and the two almost had a big quarrel in front of everyone.

then……

Thinking of Xiao Ran, Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As the dust of memory was broken, countless vivid fragments emerged.

Because... Xiao Ran actually experienced several ups and downs in life after she divorced him.

With the cool feeling in his mind, Qin Yu recalled every detail of that time more and more clearly.

Qin Yu was extremely grateful to Gu Shishi for that incident, but Gu Shishi, who was deeply in love at the time, was still not satisfied and made another suggestion.

Just when the couple was getting a little carried away, senior guide Ping Haoran stepped forward in time to smooth things over. This person seems to act informally and carelessly, but in fact he is very aware of other people's emotions. When he saw a conflict between his client and his wife, he immediately stepped in and faced the cold looks of the two people at the same time. He made some jokes and made them happy. Turn anger into joy.

However, such days did not last long. When he had become completely numb to life, and even lost the motivation to resent Xiao Ran, and only regarded the little girl who grew up like a pearl as the sustenance of his life... The desolate poison gave Xiao Ran's good luck ended here.

But more than two years ago, as his fate was reversed, some of the karma and evil that had accumulated for more than ten years suddenly came to the other side.

As for the child in Xiao Ran's belly, there was actually a tacit understanding before that he wanted to take it down. But no one expected that after the wasteland returned to Rong City, Xiao Ran gave birth to a child that was the fruit of the couple's relationship, and the couple's happy reunions and separations became a dream.

In the first few years, she was full of energy and not only took away Qin Yu's life savings with ruthless means, but also quickly met a more successful person than Qin Yu and lived the life of a wealthy wife that she had dreamed of when she was young. Even the daughter she gave birth to was treated as his own by the other party.

Later, Xiao Ran was persuaded by him and boldly touched the black tree, but his performance was much braver and calmer than his husband.

But Qin Yu also knew very well why Han Guming had such whims.

The successful man eventually changed his mind and became more and more indifferent to her. Then his career suffered a severe setback and he could hardly maintain his basic life. Everything she once relied on for glory was gone from her like water, making her feel like she had been tortured by cramps and skin peeling.

Xiao Ran was deprived of everything by the successful person she personally selected back then, using the same method she used to rob Qin Yu...not only was she impoverished, but she was even heavily in debt. It was her parents who sold everything so that she would not live on the streets or be hacked to death by creditors in the streets. And that little girl who was like a pearl was almost expelled from Meng College.

In fact, the relationship between him and Xiao Ran was already on the verge of falling apart... They did have a time of deep affection, but that beautiful time seemed to fleetingly pass by.

After that, it was a small and painful run-in caused by personality differences.

But when he suddenly lost his job and his family was in financial distress, the conflicts between the poor and humble couple could no longer be suppressed. This trip to Nanxiang and the wasteland was not for the purpose of saving their relationship at all... I just hoped that the two of them could get together and part ways, and at least not become enemies when they parted.

Qin Yu didn't have any courage to try to recognize her. Before being detoxified by Wang Luo, there is no need to elaborate on his downfall. He and Xiao Ran's mother and daughter did not live in the same world at all. What's more, according to his original intention, he wanted to take away the child... What qualifications did he have to get close to her?

At that time, it was Gu Shishi who secretly helped her child to maintain her studies, and even introduced her to a famous teacher, who personally tutored her in foundation building and taught her the best secret techniques... But when the child's family was broken up and she almost fell to the bottom, Keeping all the brilliance on her body.

No matter how much he resented Xiao Ran, he could not hurt or even touch the other person. And his daughter, that smart, beautiful, kind-hearted child who became more and more lovable the more she looked at her, had no idea that she had another father.

All of this made Qin Yu heartbroken.

Therefore, what Han Guming said about remarriage is simply fanciful.

Since Qin Yu's fortune has turned around, don't waste the opportunity by traveling at night in brocade clothes. Instead, he wanted to show all the good things he had in front of Xiao Ran, and then pay back all the pain and suffering of these more than ten years. It is said that if you are successful in life, you must have all the fun, and what could be more fun than showing off your success in front of your enemies?

Of course, Qin Yu did not accept this suggestion - in front of a woman who is devoted to him, the best way is to never talk to another woman, let alone his ex-wife. Moreover, with Qin Yu's character, he really cannot accept revenge that is too simple and crude.

But now, Han Guming's proposal is feasible.

Although Qin Yu is not rich and powerful today, his status as a sect leader outside Lingshan and Gu Shishi's two years of support have made him wealthy enough to make him look up to the successful person that Xiao Ran once admired so much. And for Xiao Ran now, Qin Yu is an out-and-out heavenly being.

And this man in heaven has now broken up with Gu Shishi. Regardless of whether there is any evil in it, the relationship has been clearly severed. And Qin Yu no longer hopes to renew his relationship with the other party. Therefore, this obstacle from Gu Shishi no longer exists.

As for the obstacles at the character level, they are essentially just a layer of tissue paper soaked in water... Qin Yu asked himself, had he really never thought about revenge? The answer is: Of course he had thought about it. During the most painful fifteen years, he had imagined many times that he would one day become successful and turn around, which made Xiao Hou regret it and break his heart. But the pain that was too long made these daydreams shattered and dusted.

But now, those absurd and unruly dreams have awakened along with his memory. Therefore, just as he can't stop himself from recalling Xiao Ran's sweet smile under the tree twenty years ago, he can't stop himself from fantasizing about what will happen twenty years later. Xiao Ran, when facing Qin Yu now, will show a distorted and painful expression.

Of course, these private and dark aspects of human nature only linger on the edge of Qin Yu's consciousness for a long time. For Qin Yu, the key to remarrying Xiao Ran does not lie with Xiao Ran at all.

And between him and Xiao Ran's daughter.

Now renamed Xiao Yunzhu, she is a slim and beautiful girl with a bright future. She is dependent on her mother and will never leave her.

No matter how many shortcomings Xiao Ran had, he could still be said to be devoted to his daughter. Even when everything was taken away from her and she was heavily in debt, she still tried her best to support her daughter in the expensive Meng College. So no matter how depressed she was, no matter how much she deserved to be ridiculed by others, her daughter Xiao Yunzhu never disliked her.

Qin Yu no longer cares about Xiao Ran, but he really cares about Xiao Yunzhu. If he wants to go to the daughter he misses so much and enjoy the family relationship between father and daughter, the best way is to remarry Xiao Ran.

Therefore, Han Guming's unquestionable order to remarry was really extremely calculated and shrewd. Even though he refused to agree with his mouth, he was willing to do so in his heart. At this moment, there was a pain in his hand, and the pain seemed to go straight to his heart along his arm, but the pain in his heart contained indescribable excitement and joy.

As long as he can successfully complete the task assigned by Master Wang Luo this time and follow his memory to find the key place that can help the Immortal Alliance reverse the decline of the front line, he can win back his daughter. It took Qin Yu a long time to suppress the random thoughts that seemed to be running rampant, and began to concentrate on finding the vital secret in his memory.

What did he and Xiao Ran go through behind Sanshudui before they were missing for two whole days?

Countless fragments condensed into a river at this moment, and the scene from twenty years ago was clearly reflected on the water.

On the same day, after the team disbanded and had free time, Qin Yu and Xiao Ran visited several nearby attractions. However, Ping Haoran led a team of rich brothers deep into the Western Regions to explore the difficult deserted buildings. Qin Yu and Xiao Ran didn't have enough reserves of magic pills, and they didn't want to take unnecessary risks, so they simply stayed in Sanshudui, hoping to wait for Ping Haoran and the others to return in half a day before returning to Nanxiang together.

Then...then, he and Xiao Ran had an inexplicable conversation.

It was originally just an ordinary walk after dinner. Qin Yu wanted to talk about some happy topics and add some good memories to the trip, but somehow, the topic turned into a very real field.

After that, there were complaints about each other's careers, during which Xiao Ran also mentioned the children.

"How can I give birth to a child with confidence like you?! I don't want my child to have a useless father like you!"

Xiao Ran's mouth was always harsh, but these words still made Qin Yu furious. He subconsciously punched the black tree next to him with his backhand. The rough bark even cut his hand, and then...

Then, he was inexplicably transported to a ghostly land!
When the image of that dark area finally emerged in the river of memories, Qin Yu couldn't help but raise his head.

But everything in front of him has become the same as in his memory.

Above the head is an almost suffocating pitch black. It is not any night or a tangible dome, but the condensation of endless invisible resentment.

In mid-air, purple, azure blue, and dark gray fires were lit. Sometimes the fire flickered for a long time, like a lighthouse in the fog, and sometimes it flickered like a shooting star. And these mottled lights barely illuminated a small half of the Netherland.

There is a piece of hardened land under the feet, with countless cracks covering it like spider webs, and there are fishy flames surging in the cracks, like the eyes of a pair of strange beasts.

Here, it looks like the dark earth recorded in general textbooks.

However, even the general sense of hell and evil soil is far less than the ubiquitous despair here.

What kind of land is this...

In shock, Qin Yu forced himself to calm down and analyzed the current situation with his remaining rationality.

Just in the blink of an eye, he somehow activated some formation on the black tree, and was teleported here from under the noses of Huang Long and Han Guming... Then, as expected, all the communication magic weapons on his body were lost in an instant. effectiveness.

No, maybe the Ascension Record can still be used, but before his trip, Wang Luo had clearly told him that the Ascension Record was strictly prohibited until he achieved victory in Nanxiang.

Only when he is sure he has found the key can he activate a specific talisman.

So, do you want to activate the talisman now?

Qin Yu continued to take deep breaths, adjusting the flow of energy and blood in his body to make himself calmer... Then, after a quick weigh, he resolutely injected true energy into the talisman.

That's it now.

Although he still knew almost nothing about this quiet realm, he was not even sure that this was the place Wang Luo was looking for.

But with Qin Yu's meager skills, it was impossible to collect any useful information. Therefore, instead of dying unexpectedly and missing the opportunity later, it would be better to call Wang Luo earlier.

However, when he calmly made the decision, he found that the injection of true energy into the talisman did not have any effect.

This specially made talisman, which could theoretically resonate instantly even from thousands of miles east of the Underworld Sea, could not contact Wang Luo!
In an instant, Qin Yu's cold sweat soaked through the clothes on his back, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand straight.

"Huh...huh..."

The heavy breathing lasted for a long time before gradually calming down again.

Qin Yu beat his legs, forced himself to stand up, and walked forward along the path in his memory.

Twenty years ago, he and Xiao Ran were suddenly teleported here, and fell into despair and panic. The two of them first waited for rescue on the spot, but there was no response for a whole day. Instead, their bodies were eroded by the gloomy environment and were on the verge of collapse.

After that, the two had no choice but to try to move around, and then...

"Remember, it's this direction..."

Qin Yu clenched his teeth, spotted a swaying will-o'-the-wisp above his head that had an outline vaguely similar to that in his memory, and stepped forward.

He murmured to himself in his heart. "Yunzhu, wait for me..."

The next moment, the world was spinning.

In half a step, he came from the hopeless cracked earth to a bamboo room.

A bamboo room located in a melancholy and despairing world, but extremely warm and cozy.

The decoration of the Bamboo Room is not luxurious, but the style is particularly meticulous. The walls are layered with silks, satins and blankets with bright patterns. Every corner is filled with cute dolls and a dazzling variety of children's toys.

Then, in the middle of the bamboo room, a cradle was swaying gently, as if waving to him.
