Chapter 346 The So-Called Sea of Silence
Jiangnan frowned slightly, feeling that the name Sea of Silence sounded very familiar. He felt like he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Sea of Silence..."
Mu Tong assumed Jiangnan didn't know what the so-called Sea of Silence was, so he explained, "It's a place where abandoned souls are dumped. One can only enter, but not leave. Furthermore, it's guarded by the legendary ferocious beast Tianlun, so you must be careful."
"What a coincidence! Isn't this an old acquaintance? It's a shame I didn't make it to the underworld, but... I can accept it. At least he won't make things difficult for me."
Jiangnan smiled, reassured Mutong, and left.
As Jiangnan's head emerged from the spatial crack, he heard Tianlun's excited voice: "Girl! Are you here to help me untie the restraints?"
Jiangnan smiled sheepishly and asked, "Do you think I can beat Hua Su now?"
Tianlun's smile disappeared and he turned around and faced her with the back of his head.
"Are you angry?"
"Woooooo~"
"So you were crying secretly with your back turned?"
"I told you it wouldn't be that easy to surpass Hua Su! What can I do if you can't save me?"
"So you're worried I'll break my promise."
Jiangnan conjured up a lollipop and waved it in front of Tianlun, coaxing him, "Master Tianlun is a crybaby. If this gets out, won't people laugh at you?"
Tian Lun yelled, "How dare you!" Then he snatched the lollipop away and stuffed it into his mouth, defending himself by saying, "My age, if converted into your human years, would indeed be considered a child."
"How old are you when you become an adult?"
"Fifty million years old."
Jiang Nan raised his voice and repeated what he said: "Fifty million?!"
"Fifty million! I don't even know where my body is. I've only just reached adulthood. It's really scary."
Tianlun was obviously used to Jiangnan's reaction. After finishing the candy in his mouth, he reached out to her for more.
"I want more."
"Of course, but you should know that there is no free lunch in the world, right?"
"what do you want?"
Jiangnan looked at the round plate in Tianlun's arms.
Tianlun suddenly felt something was wrong and stepped back holding the disk in his arms.
"What are you doing? I'm warning you! No robbing!"
"I'm not robbing you, I'm just asking you for someone."
Tianlun immediately understood why she was there.
"You want the soul I took from me back then, right?"
Jiangnan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Give it to me now!"
"No."
"Why? I didn't abandon him. Logically, it must be your fault that he fell into the Sea of Silence. Give it to me now! Otherwise, I'm going to make a scene!"
"He volunteered."
"What? How is that possible? You must be kidding, right?"
"I have no reason to lie to you." Tian Lun asked, "As the Creator, have you ever listened carefully to His voice?"
Jiangnan paused and shook his head in self-blame.
"I said that the Sea of Silence holds the souls of the most heinous sinners. They will lose themselves over time and dissipate. But there are also some pitiful people... Oh, forget it. You can see for yourself."
Tianlun grabbed Jiangnan's wrist and let her hand touch the mirror.
"Hold your breath and concentrate, and feel it carefully."
Jiangnan closed his eyes, and the quiet surroundings suddenly became noisy.
She felt like she was standing in a crowd, with countless people wandering around aimlessly, muttering to themselves.
"Who am I?"
"Why am I here?"
"Where are we going? How long will it take? Where is my destination?"
"What did I forget? Something important."
Jiangnan's consciousness was crowded by the crowd and he had to follow them.
I didn't know how long I had been walking when I suddenly heard a sudden sound.
"It hurts! It's so painful! I wish I could just die quickly."
"It won't hurt if I die."
Jiangnan squeezed through the crowd, looking for the source of the voice.
Finally, in a corner, I found a young man in red.
He did not wander aimlessly like other souls, but just curled up quietly in the corner.
A creepy gray resentment lingered around him, and that resentment turned into roaring human heads, moving through his soul.
Jiangnan recognized the young man, squatted in front of him, and reached out his hand to comfort him.
The human heads transformed from resentment suddenly attacked Jiangnan.
Jiangnan was unable to dodge and used his arms to block the attack. He only felt something grabbing into his body but did not feel any pain from being bitten.
Tianlun sighed inwardly, "Not good!" and forced Jiangnan back to consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, Jiangnan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
"hiss…"
"It's painful, right? That child has to endure this pain every day since birth."
Jiangnan only now understood that if it were him, his desire to die would probably be even more serious than Yun Yi's.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"He deserved a better life. If I hadn't stumbled here and taken him away, perhaps everything would have been... my fault."
"Well, now's not the time for blind apologies. You remember when I said the Sea of Silence cleanses the soul?"
"You mean? The resentment in him can be cleared away?"
"Of course you can. Do you still want to take him away by force now?"
Jiangnan's head shook faster than a rattle.
"That's enough to know. The resentment in you isn't serious. It will dissipate in a quarter of an hour at most. If you have nothing else to do, go back. This shabby place is not suitable for living people."
Jiangnan nodded and asked before leaving, "How long will it take before you can come pick him up?"
Tianlun held up three fingers.
"Three months?"
Tianlun shook his head.
"Three years?"
He shook his head again.
"No way? Thirty years?"
"It's three hundred years."
"Three hundred years? By then, the flowers will be cold! I only have three months."
Tianlun looked at her without saying anything.
The two looked at each other for a long time before Tian Lun said, "Didn't Lu Ming teach you?"
Jiangnan blinked.
Tian Lun continued, "You can adjust the speed of time in a plane by dragging the plane's location in the river of time. However, this is limited to the planes you create."
"Hey? Is this still possible?"
"Sure enough, I didn't teach you at all."
Jiangnan smiled awkwardly, thanked him, and adjusted the flow rate of the plane, thinking of taking this opportunity to go back and see his master.
When I got back, the place was empty. Lu Ming and Xiao Cai were not at home.
"It's really unfortunate that I came back."
Jiangnan didn't think much about it and went back to continue his mission.
As she expected, she received a notification that the mission had failed as soon as she returned.
Jiangnan looked at Xiao Mi and asked knowingly, "What happened?"
Xiao Mi vividly recounted the lie he had prepared in advance.
Jiangnan just nodded in agreement and didn't say anything.
"That's all that happened."
"Finished?"
"Hmm~"
"Then you can go die."
Before Xiao Mi could react, he was wrapped in the power of heaven and floated to Jiangnan's palm.
Xiao Mi watched the fists clenching tighter and tighter, and quickly handed in her letter of allegiance.
"Master Tiandao, I can do many things. I can even do the laundry, cook, and bathe you! Please give me another chance!"
Seeing that Jiangnan didn't pay attention to what he said, he tried a hard approach if soft tactics didn't work.
"You can't kill me! Without me, you won't be able to turn back time, and your mission will be considered a failure now!"
The feeling of being squeezed on her body became more and more severe, and Xiao Mi cried and begged for mercy.
"I don't dare anymore! Please, Lord Tiandao, spare my life. I just got my freedom and I don't want to go back! No! No—"
Xiao Mi's unwilling roar disappeared, Jiangnan opened his hands, and colorful streams of light floated out from his palms, flew into the sky, and then disappeared.
"Xiao Mi is indeed a differentiation of world consciousness, but compared to Master, she is still too weak."
