I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

Chapter 306 Abyss of Memories

Shen Xing frowned upon hearing this. He knew the strength and ambition of the First Demon Lord, and such a declaration was not groundless.

He pondered for a moment and said slowly:

"The actions of the Demon Lord are undoubtedly a great challenge to the existing order. However, can the 'fairness' he pursues really bring peace and harmony to the six realms? This is a question worth pondering."

Yitian also nodded. He put down the chess piece in his hand and his eyes became unusually firm.

"No matter what the Demon Lord's motives are, we cannot sit idly by. As the guardians of the six realms, we have the responsibility to maintain the balance and stability of this world. If the Demon Lord really wants to destroy everything and rebuild the six realms, then we must stand up and stop his crazy behavior."

The goddess of zither Lingyin sighed softly. She knew very well that this was a difficult battle, but she never backed down.

"I will use my music to awaken the kindness and courage in people's hearts, so that they can unite and fight against the threat of the Demon Lord. And you, as the God of Painting and the God of Chess, will also use your unique power to protect this world that we all love."

The three people's eyes met in the air, and there was no need for them to say anything, as they had already reached a tacit understanding.

They know that the upcoming battle will be an unprecedented challenge, but they also firmly believe that as long as they work together, nothing can stop their determination to protect this world.

Outside the illusion, Lord Xingzhi witnessed the conversation between Shen Xing, Yitian, and the goddess of zither Lingyin, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

He was surprised at Shen Xing's knowledge of the first generation of Demon Lord. This information was obviously beyond the common sense of ordinary gods. Just as he was confused, the voice of Ling Zun broke the silence with a hint of curiosity.

"Why was the first Demon Lord so evil that no one dared to mention his past?" There was a gleam of inquiry in Ling Zun's eyes, and he was obviously full of curiosity about this dusty history.

Xingzhi Divine Lord took a deep breath, as if recalling a heavy past. He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly, each word so heavy that it seemed to crush the air: "In fact, the first generation of Demon Lord... is the fallen Book God."

This sentence was like thunder, exploding between the two. Ling Zun stood up suddenly, his eyes full of fear and disbelief. He shouted: "Oh no, the illusion is probably controlled by the Demon Zun! Shen Xing and the others are in danger now!"

Xingzhi Divine Lord quickly regained his composure, as he was fully aware of the seriousness of the situation. He said decisively, "I will immediately return to the Heaven Realm to make arrangements, strengthen defenses, and prepare for possible battles. We must ensure the safety of Shen Xing and the others, and stop the Demon Lord's conspiracy."

As he spoke, Lord Xingzhi's figure flashed and turned into a stream of light that soared into the sky and rushed towards the heaven.

Ling Zun also realized the urgency of the situation, and he quickly summoned the powerful people in the spiritual world to assist Xingzhi Shenjun in making all necessary preparations.

"Everyone, the key now is to open the illusion safely." Ling Zun said earnestly...

On the way back to heaven, Lord Xingzhi felt mixed emotions.

"Shen Xing, you are the ancient god, Xinghui!" Lord Xingzhi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

Although dangers are lurking everywhere now, the awakening and resurrection of the ancient god Xinghui Yuanshen will be good news for the six realms.

He recalled the glory and fall of the God of Books, as well as the rise and wreaking havoc of the first Demon Lord.

Since Xinghui has the ability to defeat the God of Books, he can do it this time as well.

He knew that this battle was not only to protect the peace and tranquility of the six realms, but also to redeem the once lost heart - even if it had turned into the most terrible enemy.

However, all the contestants in the illusion were completely unaware of the impending crisis.

Shen Xing set foot on the secret path leading to the second level of illusion, and every step seemed particularly heavy and full of expectation.

As he went deeper, the surrounding scene began to change. The originally foggy world was gradually replaced by a deep and ancient atmosphere.

He seemed to have traveled through a tunnel of time and space and came to a completely new world.

In this world, the sky is a deep blue, but there is no sun or stars. There is only a faint crescent moon hanging in the sky, casting a soft and mysterious light.

Under his feet was a vast abyss, bottomless and seemingly able to swallow everything. This was the location of the key event of the second level of illusion - the Abyss of Memories.

Shen Xing stood on the edge of the abyss, staring into the abyss that seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He knew that this would not only test his courage and wisdom, but would also force him to face the memories and emotions deep in his heart.

"Abyss of Memories..." Shen Xing whispered, his voice echoing in the empty abyss with a barely perceptible tremor. He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and let his mind immerse in this mysterious abyss.

All of a sudden, scenes from the past came flooding back like a tide, with laughter, tears, success, and failure. These memories replayed in Shen Xing's mind like a movie, and he couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation. He saw the innocence of his childhood, and also saw the hardships and difficulties of growing up; he felt the warmth and greatness of family affection, and also realized the sincerity and preciousness of friendship.

However, mixed with these beautiful memories are some regrets and pains that he finds hard to let go.

Those missed opportunities, unfulfilled dreams, and the harm he brought to the people around him because of his own mistakes... these were like sharp blades, cutting Shen Xing's heart and making him feel pain.

But at this moment, Shen Xing suddenly realized that although these memories were painful, they were also an indispensable part of his growth. It was these experiences that made him stronger and more mature. He began to learn to accept his past, whether good or bad, as an important part of who he is now.

As this understanding deepened, Shen Xing felt an unprecedented power surge from the bottom of his heart. He opened his eyes, and his gaze became more determined and bright than ever before. He understood that he had found the key to the next level of illusion - that is to face and accept his past, and bravely face all challenges and difficulties.

So, Shen Xing took a decisive step and walked forward along the passage of the illusion.

"Did I pass this level?" Shen Xing thought, maybe Shen Li was right in front of him, and he had to pass the test quickly.

It would be a good thing if Shen Li won the first place.

However, if there is any danger, Shen Xing must stay by Shen Li's side.

His peace must be kept.
