Whoosh--
Qin Ze left a straight trail on the boundless sea, his body crashing into the ground with a deafening Sonic Boom.
"Not bad, it seems you haven't slacked off in your training these past few years."
Brother Yuanzi appeared beside him, his hands behind his back, standing parallel to Qin Ze.
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows. "Of course, I used the time others spent sleeping to cultivate."
The Pretty God's remarks immediately provoked the wrath of her clones.
"You've practically become one with your little stinky thing, where's your face?"
"Don't be fooled by his seemingly innocent appearance, Brother Yuanzi!"
"Liars will have to swallow a thousand needles!"
Let him swallow it, let him swallow it!
"His physical strength is so great that swallowing a hundred million needles wouldn't have any effect on him."
" Qin Ze, I..."
The two of them continued to move forward side by side.
No matter how fast Qin Ze accelerated, Brother Yuanzi maintained the same speed.
Qin Ze is now faster than a supersonic fighter jet, but after flying for so long, he still hasn't seen a continental shelf. Could it be the Endless Sea?
But as they went further forward, the calm sea gradually became turbulent.
Waves tens of meters high crashed against Qin Ze one after another, but Qin Ze remained as steady as Mount Tai, maintaining a steady pace.
Brother Yuanzi suddenly said in a deep voice, "They're here."
Qin Ze was taken aback. What happened?
boom--
A powerful force suddenly pressed down on Qin Ze's shoulder, causing him to tremble slightly before he immediately straightened his back.
Luckily, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been pushed into the sea.
At the same time, countless noisy whispers rang in his ears, constantly stirring Qin Ze's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.
The further you go, the stronger the weight on your shoulders and the stronger the interference with your Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.
Qin Ze murmured to himself, "So this is what a true Breakthrough Otherworld is like..."
Brother Yuanzi was standing nearby, said, "Let's chat."
Qin Ze: "What are you talking about?"
Yao Yuan: "Anything is fine."
Qin Ze realized that Brother Yuanzi was trying to distract him so he wouldn't be so upset.
He thought for a moment and said, "Actually... I still can't fully understand why you would use your own offering as a sacrifice."
Even if the sky falls, there's always someone tall enough to hold it up.
To put it bluntly, Brother Yuanzi is only Level Eight Martial Artist. The ceiling of Human Race combat power is still the Grand Consul and the Saber King.
Brother Yuanzi has already done enough; he doesn't need to put himself in a life-or-death situation.
Yao Yuan pondered for a moment, then spread out his right hand and said, "Look what this is?"
Qin Ze looked at the three-foot-long sword in Brother Yuanzi's hand and replied, "A sword."
boom--
With a light slash, Yao Yuan unleashed a torrent of white sword energy, instantly cleaving a fissure hundreds of meters long across the sea surface, reaching all the way to the seabed.
Yao Yuan twirled his sword and asked, "Is it still just a sword now?"
Qin Ze pondered for a moment, "A sword of immense power."
Immediately, Yao Yuan handed the sword to Qin Ze: "You try it."
Qin Ze imitated Yuanzi's sword strike, but his understanding of swordsmanship was far Brother Yuanzi, and the power of his strike was only half that of Brother Yuanzi's.
Looking at the closing Abyss of the sea, Yao Yuan said, "The same sword will exert different powers in different hands."
"And for individuals, different beliefs will provide different sources of motivation."
"Whether one's social status is low or one's strength is great, these are not the reasons for a person's actions."
"The real source is here." Brother Yuanzi pointed to Qin Ze's chest. "No matter when or where, belief is the original driving force that supports a person to keep going."
Qin Ze seemed to understand but not quite. "So, boss, what is your belief?"
Yao Yuan gazed at the surging sea in the distance and said calmly, "Creating a peaceful and prosperous era for the Human Race is my primary belief."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze was deeply moved and remained unsettled for a long time.
Brother Yuanzi wanted to create a peaceful and prosperous world for the Human Race, which is why he, at the level Level Eight, plotted against a group of Level Nine, even at the cost of his own life.
Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "Companies, alien beasts, alien races... they all tried to bury Human Race in the earth, never to see the light of day again, but they never expected that we are a seed."
"Now, the seed has sprouted and grown into a towering tree."
Qin Ze exhaled a breath of stale air. "It's because you, Boss, kept watering this seed that it was able to take root and sprout."
Yao Yuan shook his head. "Not just me, but you, the other Hunter, and the Stars."
"It is thanks to everyone's irrigation and careful nurturing that the seeds have grown."
Yao Yuan suddenly stopped and turned to look into Qin Ze's eyes.
" Qin Ze, what is your primary belief?"
The constant weight on his shoulders, along with the chaotic whispers in his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, made Qin Ze's head spin.
"I have no idea."
"I don't want you to die. I don't want all your hard work to go to waste. Ever since I awoke from the World Tree, I've thought about everything before I do anything. If you were in my shoes, what would you do? I don't want you to lose face."
"Maybe... I really don't have any convictions, I just want you to live."
Yao Yuan shook his head. "You already have your first belief, you just haven't realized it yet."
Qin Ze looked completely bewildered. "Do I really have that thing?"
The clones on the Local Area Network were also whispering among themselves.
"Really? I didn't know that."
"Is greed a kind of belief?"
"If this counts, then it's truly shameful."
" Brother Yuanzi says it exists, then it definitely exists. I believe Brother Yuanzi."
Me too.
"..."
boom--
Dozens of water jets shot into the sky, completely surrounding Qin Ze and Yao Yuan.
Within each jet of water was a sea monster, its eyes fixed menacingly on the two.
Yao Yuan looked at the sea monster blocking his path and said softly, "Fly across this sea, and you will find the answer."
Qin Ze bumped his fists together. "Just a mere sea beast."
The Flying Circus Man have dealt with sea creatures quite a bit, but these things are far weaker than strange beasts.
With a single sword strike, Brother Yuanzi Parting Clouds, instantly turning more than a dozen sea beasts into clouds of blood mist.
Qin Ze unleashed the Thunder God's Punishment, and the thunderous lightning ripped through hordes of sea monsters.
But the sea monsters seemed endless; for every one killed, two more would appear, spreading rapidly across the sea like a plague.
More importantly, the sea monsters become stronger the further along they go.
Unlike the sea monsters encountered by the Flying Circus Man, these behemoths have been enhanced by Otherworld enhancements, and their average strength is significantly higher than that of the alien beasts.
Qin Ze's expression grew increasingly grave. "If this continues, we'll be trapped here and die."
The scene was like an endless tide of sea monsters had been activated; even if you fought until you were exhausted, the sea monsters would continue to swarm.
Yao Yuan swept his sword horizontally, the sword energy spreading outwards, cutting all the strange beasts in the way in half.
He turned to look at Qin Ze, smiled slightly, and said, "It seems I can only accompany you this far on this journey."
