Chapter 200: Late Hope, Shattered Dream, Ling'Er's Memory! All the Truth, Just a Big Dream._2
But back then, Ling'Er was merely an ordinary person who had never cultivated!
Moreover, when I passed by Ling'Er's village, the village head was eager to have Ling'Er join the immortal sect, indicating he was also an ordinary being who had been deceived.
So why...
As the village head's granddaughter, could Ling'Er be different?
Gifted with intelligence? That doesn't explain it!
As Lu Sheng continued to observe Ling'Er, her subsequent behavior further convinced him that Ling'Er probably had an inseparable connection with this phantom world.
"Sigh!"
Lu Sheng let out a long sigh, finally snapping out of his thoughts and looking at everything before him.
What he saw was an energy web that looked like a spider web, wrapping the Three Thousand Worlds tightly together. This web seemed to flicker in and out of existence, extremely phantom-like, as if it didn't exist in reality.
It gave Lu Sheng the feeling... that he was in a dream.
"A dream?"
Lu Sheng muttered softly as he looked at the phantom scene before him.
His gaze swept over the phantom web repeatedly, his expression gradually becoming complex.
At this moment, that phantom web enveloped the entire Three Thousand Worlds, and within that phantom web, there were numerous figures trapped within.
Among them were not only figures from the Human Federation but also from other Cosmic Alien Races.
But at this moment, all these individuals were glued to this phantom web with their eyes closed, seemingly in a deep sleep.
It wasn't just them; even Lu Sheng himself was cornered in one part of this phantom web.
Seeing this, Lu Sheng couldn't help frowning. He desperately took out the Jade Scroll from his bosom, which had already begun to flicker with a complete red light.
The scarlet brilliance at this moment seemed extremely piercing.
Without any time to make a choice, Lu Sheng decisively crushed the Jade Scroll.
The next moment...
A strong suction erupted from the Jade Scroll, as if an invisible gigantic hand had grasped Lu Sheng's body at that moment, forcefully pulling him out of the phantom web, dragging him out of this world.
However, just as Lu Sheng was about to leave this world, he suddenly heard a gentle female voice slowly echoing in his ear.
"Senior brother, thank you for helping me reach the Dao!"
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Sheng's heart trembled instantly.
Only because this voice was incredibly similar to Ling'Er's voice in the phantom world. However, Ling'Er's voice in the phantom world was somewhat playful and adorable.
Now, this voice gave Lu Sheng a sense of maturity and steadiness.
Unable to help himself, Lu Sheng turned his head and, just as he was about to leave this world, he saw a young girl's figure smiling and waving at him through the faint outlines of the phantom web that enveloped the Three Thousand Worlds.
"Senior brother, I have left a small gift for you. And in return for your kindness, I will spare the Human Federation!"
As the voice fell, Lu Sheng was already forcibly pulled out of the Three Thousand Worlds by the Teleportation Power of the Jade Scroll, completely cutting off his vision.
Shortly, Lu Sheng's figure appeared in a part of the Cosmic Void outside the Three Thousand Worlds.
Standing in the Cosmic Void, Lu Sheng gasped for breath.
Although the voice just now did not harbor any malicious intent towards Lu Sheng, he still felt an oppressive force from his life level.
That was... the suppression of a low-level life form by a high-level life form.
Even if it was just a voice.
"Ling'Er... could it be..."
Lu Sheng's face revealed a look of shock. He seemed to realize something and slowly raised his arm, seeing a purple mark on the back of his hand.
It was a purple spider web mark, like a spider web, etched on the back of Lu Sheng's hand.
"Is this the gift Ling'Er mentioned?"
Lu Sheng looked at the purple spider web mark on the back of his hand and couldn't help reaching out and touching the mark.
As soon as he touched the web, purple brilliance suddenly shone, enveloping Lu Sheng's whole body in that light.
Immediately, Lu Sheng felt like scenes were flickering before his eyes.
In the scenes, Ling'Er's figure appeared, but this time, there was no Lu Sheng, nor anyone else around her.
Beside Ling'Er... there was no one.
"Could this be... Ling'Er's true experience from a thousand years ago?"
As he watched the scenes before him, Lu Sheng felt like a spectator in a movie theater, watching that...
True experience without him.
...
Ling'Er stood at the gate of Pure and Muddy Gate, looking fearfully at the Nascent Soul Old Monster. The Nascent Soul Old Monster's insect-like head looked extremely ferocious, and his gaze at Ling'Er was like that of a delicious meal.
"I am the founder of Pure and Muddy Gate, Qingzhuo Immortal."
"Would you like to be my disciple?"
The Nascent Soul Old Monster stared intently at Ling'Er. Although he was asking for her opinion, there was no room for negotiation in his words.
"I... I want to go home!"
Ling'Er stood alone at the gate, tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, meekly speaking.
