Outside Of Time

1034 This Is Love

The captain smiled when he heard this and his gaze was sincere.

“Senior, that’s impossible. Back then, it was Her who begged to help me.”

His words were calm, his expression composed, and there was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes. It seemed as if he had immense trust in the entity behind the black wooden door, and they had shared many beautiful experiences together.

Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu exchanged looks. Even though they knew Erniu well, they were still a little skeptical when they saw the expressions of others.

Xu Qing didn’t hesitate at all. He retreated hundreds of feet away and arrived beside the heir and Princess Mingmei. He felt that he was safe here.

As for the captain’s invitation, Xu Qing directly ignored it.

He believed that he was a rational person and didn’t have much madness. Everything depended on whether the value was enough. This was different from the captain.

Hence, in terms of crazily courting death, Xu Qing felt that the captain was superior.

Seeing that Xu Qing had retreated, a hint of hidden bitterness appeared in the captain’s eyes.

“She is cursing you pretty badly.” Old Eighth looked at Chen Erniu and spoke again.

“She cursed you, saying that you are a heartless man. She wants to eat your flesh, drink your blood, suck your soul, and dig out your marrow.”

“Also, She is eagerly waiting for you.”

The captain’s expression changed a little. He was a little frightened but he instinctively suppressed it and coughed.

“How is that possible? We’re good friends.”

When Old Eighth saw that he wasn’t interrupted by his eldest brother and third sister this time, he became excited. He sneered and continued to attack.

“My authority lies in emotions and desires, so I can sense the High God Flame Moon inside the door through the aura of this place. The extreme hatred and endless madness towards you in Her thoughts, hmm, such intense fluctuations.”

Old Eighth carefully sensed it and revealed a look of admiration.

“Erniu, it’s not easy to make a god’s emotions fluctuate so much that it is almost close to the human nature.”

After Old Eighth finished speaking, he was annoyed when he saw that Erniu still wanted to argue. He hated it the most when others didn’t believe him, so he glared.

“If you don’t believe me, hurry up and walk to the door. See if the knocking will be more intense.”

The captain’s heart churned a little. However, when he thought of his boasting earlier, he braced himself and tried to take a few steps forward. However, the instant he took a few steps forward, the knocking on the black wooden door instantly became violent.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was even more hurried and violent than before. The black wooden door trembled intensely, as though it could collapse and explode from the inside at any moment.

At this moment, even Ning Yan and the others, who didn’t have the authority over emotions, could sense anger from this intense sound. They all took a deep breath and retreated by more than 100 feet.

Old Eighth sneered.

Seeing this, the captain let out a long sigh.

“Little Yueyue, do you still hate me?”

As soon as the captain spoke, the knocking on the black wooden door stopped and it became quiet.

The hidden meaning in the captain’s words caused Xu Qing’s eyes to narrow.

Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan were also shocked.

Nether Fairy frowned and looked at the black wooden door. She hoped to see Chen Erniu die, but the door remained calm.

The captain’s expression was desolate as he walked toward the black wooden door step by step. When he arrived in front of the wooden door, his eyes were filled with reminiscence as he sighed and spoke softly.

“Little Yueyue, wait a little longer. It’ll be over soon…”

“Actually, I lied to those friends of mine and Little Qing just now. Oh right, you don’t know who Little Qing is. He’s my junior brother in this life. When you come out later, I’ll introduce him to you.”

“Sigh, I told them that we were good friends.”

“But in reality… how can our relationship be described as good friends…”

The captain’s eyes were filled with emotions as his muttering echoed in the void. It followed the path formed by the green hair and was transmitted to the outside of the faith ring, landing in the ears of Xu Qing and the others.

Originally, they wouldn’t believe him. However, as Erniu spoke, the knockings actually stopped. It was as though She was really responding.

This scene caused Ning Yan, Wu Jianwu, and Li Youfei to instinctively believe him.

As for Nether Fairy, she frowned.

Xu Qing fell silent and looked at his eldest senior brother’s hands. When he observed them carefully, Erniu sighed and turned his head to look at everyone.

“Let me reintroduce you. The person beyond the door is my ex-wife.”

This sentence was like a clap of thunder.

Ning Yan cried out in horror. Wu Jianwu’s eyes widened to the extreme and his mind rumbled. Li Youfei was completely dumbfounded and Nether Fairy’s heart trembled.

“Ex-wife?”

“God?”

“What… what’s going on!”

Xu Qing was different from them. He stared at his eldest senior brother’s right hand and fell into deep thought.

As for the heir and the others, their reactions were a little different. Old Eighth was suspicious, Fifth Sister narrowed her eyes, Princess Mingmei fell silent, and the heir suddenly spoke.

“What’s that in your right hand?”

Seeing their performance, the captain was overjoyed. However, he maintained his emotions on the surface and sighed.

“I’ve embarrassed myself in front of everyone. Back then, when Little Yueyue wanted to become a god, her ideals didn’t match mine. In the end, we could only part ways. She would be the god in heaven and I would be a human on earth.”

“However, I still love her. Hence, I reincarnated time and time again, willing to become her anchor.”

“I became the anchor of her humanity so that she won’t get lost in divinity.”

The captain’s tone was sad as he spread out his right hand.

There was nothing inside.

The atmosphere fell silent. Ning Yan and the others were shocked by this story. However, it sounded a little familiar.

Xu Qing peeped at the captain. He had already guessed the origin of this plot.

Princess Mingmei looked at the black door and then at Erniu as she calmly spoke.

“If we hadn’t come, this would have been the script you planned for my father, right?”

Old Eighth couldn’t help but say.

“I recall that the High God Flame Moon was born as a god, and didn’t ascend to godhood after birth. Does She need an anchor?”

The captain blinked and was about to continue when the knocking sounds from the black wooden door erupted again. This time, it was countless times stronger than before and cracks appeared on the door.

In fact, many places even bulged under the rumbling, revealing the palm prints of seven fingers.

Amidst the knocking sounds, there were additional panting sounds that were filled with greed and desire. There were also faint roars echoing inside.

Xu Qing’s expression froze. The heir and the others also had solemn expressions. As for the captain, he was clearly extremely flustered but he tried his best to look calm.

He even tapped on the wooden door.

“Little Yueyue, it’s not time yet. I can’t open the door for you yet. Don’t be anxious. Why is your temper still the same as before?”

“I came this time to wake you up, to remind you not to keep sleeping, and then to remind you to activate the means you’ve prepared over the years one by one.”

“You have to complete everything we agreed upon within a year because, at most, within a year, I will let you see the sleeping Crimson Goddess.”

“This is the promise I made to you back then. I will definitely fulfill it.”

“Lastly, you have to give me another token that can allow you to ignore the pressure of the Crimson Goddess and directly descend in front of Her.”

With that, the captain lifted his hand and directly dug out his eye, ruthlessly pressing it against the wooden door. Very soon, the eyeball caved in and slowly disappeared to the back of the door.

“Put the token in my eye…”

Before the captain could finish speaking, the sound of chewing echoed…

Xu Qing fell silent. Ning Yan and the others also had strange expressions. The heir peeped at Erniu and Old Eighth couldn’t help but speak.

“She ate it.”

The captain coughed.

“This is love.”

As he spoke, his body swayed and a large number of eyes grew out. One after another, they flew out and fused into the door. The chewing sound continued until a hundred was eaten. The captain finally got furious.

“It’s enough already. At worst, I’ll look for another high god!”

The black wooden door was slammed fiercely from the inside, as though it was responding to the captain’s words. This sound was so loud that the path of green hair began to shatter. Even the ring of faith of all living beings in the outside world became blurry.

It was as though it couldn’t hold on anymore and began to dim.

It also affected the outside world, causing this dilapidated world to collapse even more.

Xu Qing’s gaze froze. He took a few steps forward and arrived in front of the ring, preparing to receive the captain.

Fortunately, after this venting attack, there was no other sound from the black wooden door. An eyeball of the captain also appeared from the wooden door and gawked fixedly at the captain.

One could glimpse a strand of gray hair inside the eyeball. It was like a nematode swimming inside.

It emitted a terrifying aura. Compared to this, the green hair was clearly inferior.

The captain narrowed his eyes, and a blue glint appeared in them. After he gently grabbed it, his body rapidly retreated.

However, the instant he retreated, a large number of palm prints that protruded from the black wooden door squirmed and formed a sinister face. It suddenly opened its mouth and charged toward the captain.

The captain was faster. His entire body flickered with blue light as he headed straight for the exit.

The path of green hair under his feet continued to collapse and the halo of power of faith grew dimmer. Seeing this, Xu Qing waved his hand, grabbed the air, and eventually caught the captain’s shoulder with a strong pull.

At the same time, the large mouth behind the captain also closed.

With a crunch, it bit the captain’s waist.

As blood gushed out, the path of green hair completely collapsed. As for the ring formed by the power of faith, it completely dissipated at this moment. After blocking everything, Xu Qing gazed at the captain who only had half of his body left.

“Eldest Senior Brother, do you feel better now?” Xu Qing sighed.

The captain laughed loudly.

“Exactly, doing something big is not just about doing it half-heartedly, that’s not considered a big deal at all.”

“I’ve embarrassed myself in front of everyone. This is a farewell ceremony between me and my ex-wife.”

The captain didn’t care that he had lost half of his body. After he voiced proudly, he waved his right hand and took out the eyeball he had retrieved. With a squeeze, the gray hair in the eyeball instantly crawled out, breaking through the void and heading straight for the outside world.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared above the sinkhole formed by the green sand desert. It expanded infinitely and finally spread throughout the entire desert before dissipating.

It turned into gray sand that scattered toward the sinkhole, quickly filling up the desert again.

During this process, the desert turned gray and gray wind howled…

Legend had it that there were four types of wind in the green sand desert.

Other than green, white, and black, there was another type as well.

Legend had it that it had only appeared when the green sand desert was born. Today, it appeared for the second time.
