Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 282 Yellow Robe, Kevin and Black Shadow

The sky was still clear.

But in fact, no matter how long you stay here, the sky remains so bright. Generally, there are only two possibilities for this condition to occur.

Either this is the law of the world bubble itself, or someone is forcibly using some means to keep the world bubble bright at all times.

Su sat cross-legged under the big tree with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating, thinking, or... talking.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Su noticed some unusual movements in this world bubble. The next second, Jiang Ming appeared in front of him and sat down face to face with him.

"Su, it's been a long time since we last met. It's been two months, right? I was just giving it a try, but I didn't expect you to still be in this bubble. What's going on? Didn't you give the Sumeru mustard seed to Bianca? Why is this bubble still here?"

"Jiang Ming..."

Su silently murmured the name of the young man in front of her, sighed in her heart, and seemed to have some feelings, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and explained.

"It is the help of the [Ultimate] true meaning. With its power, I can reserve a small piece of space for myself. However, it is not very big. Look, it is only ten acres now."

"The true meaning of [Ultimate]? Is this true meaning still there?"

Jiang Ming was a little surprised. When Su Gang was about to answer, he suddenly paused, but quickly shook his head.

"It... oh, it's gone. After helping you, it healed my internal injuries and helped me preserve and stabilize this small bubble of the world. Then it dissipated for some unknown reason. Maybe some substance in its body was exhausted... If you are here to look for it, then I'm sorry."

"Is that so... But I didn't come here specifically to find it. I came here to find you."

"Looking for me? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Jiang Ming leaned forward slightly, as if afraid of being heard by others, and asked softly.

"More than 1500 years ago, Kevin was sealed by you, right? Now I want to know his exact location, or rather, I hope to be able to reach him, but... I still need your help for this."

Su was obviously a little surprised, but soon calmed down: "... Just in case, I'll ask in advance, Jiang Ming, why do you suddenly want to meet Kevin? I'm afraid he doesn't want to see anyone now."

"To be honest..."

Since the other party did not refuse at the beginning, it meant that there was still possibility of negotiation. Jiang Ming told him about Xier.

"This Miss Xi'er is a friend of my companion. To be honest, I also have a [Extreme] truth in my body. It told me that Kevin had met Xi'er before. This means that as long as I meet Kevin, I can use the rules of the Wisdom Universe to deduce Xi'er's location and bring her back to her original world from the Quantum Sea. The only prerequisite is that I need to know Kevin's location first before I can make any further plans."

Jiang Ming once again repeated his current problem. If Su was still unwilling to help him, then he could only start with the Anti-Entropy Eye of the Abyss.

"I see...I'm willing to help you with this."

"That's great. I thank you on behalf of my friend."

"Well, but you have to be careful. Although Kevin's strength may decline, you still have to be careful in a place like the Quantum Tree. It's best not to fight. After all, if you are not careful, the space will be disrupted and the person you want to find may be teleported to another world bubble."

"As for Kevin's location, do you see the lake behind you? If you enter from there, you will leave this bubble and go straight to where he is. Even if you don't find him, as long as you release a little breath, with Kevin's personality, he will come over on his own initiative, right? That's all I can say."

"That's good. I'll take my leave now. I'll come and pick you up after I defeat Honkai."

Su smiled after a long time. "Haha, of course, I believe you."

After Jiang Ming nodded to him solemnly, he jumped directly into the lake in front of him.

"..."

[Hmm, it looks like he left.]

A voice that was completely not Su's sounded. At the same time, a dark shadow appeared beside Su - it was the true meaning of [Ultimate] mentioned before.

[Alas, it's a pity that wills can't communicate directly, otherwise I might be able to get his updates at all times.]

The Ultimate True Meaning looked at Su and explained, "Don't worry about me. The reason I'm here is because of the order of the Ultimate Body. The Ultimate Body observed the future, so it sent me here. In addition to giving me some inheritance, I also have to do some small things. I may have to stay for a long time. I'm sorry to have you stay here."

Su Cai couldn't go out for any other reason, but the ultimate truth forced him to stay here. However, Su had already let it go.

"It's okay, I don't care."

[Well, then follow me and wait for the current body to bring back our future.]

................

"Well, it looks like I should be here."

When Jiang Ming jumped into the lake, he felt an endless sense of weightlessness in his body, but when the weightlessness gradually disappeared, he felt that he had reached his destination.

Suddenly, the scene in his eyes and the surrounding environment changed abruptly, from the original complex and chaotic scene with strange blue blocks and bubbles all around, to a prison-like structure and layout, but to be more precise, a base.

Silent environment, cold air...

If someone else was here, they would probably appear panicked and nervous, and would be afraid of the unfamiliar environment. However, Jiang Ming's eyes lit up, because this was exactly the base of the Fire Moth in the game Honkai Impact 3rd that he remembered.

This is also the place where Seele met the former civilization figure - Sakura.

"Heh, it seems that because of me, it was supposed to be Xi'er who experienced the pre-civilization bubble created by Kevin, but now it's my turn to experience it...?"

"Okay, then let me see if the story of the previous civilization is exactly the same as what I remember from the game. And... Kevin, what exactly do you want to do..."

Jiang Ming murmured secretly in his heart, then strode forward.

Soon, he met a man, or to be more precise, a man in a yellow robe. He walked forward leisurely, seemingly not fast, but one would lose him if one was not careful.

After Jiang Ming followed him, he tried to touch him with his body, but found that his hand passed through the body of the man in yellow robe, and the man in yellow robe continued to walk forward as if he didn't notice. This gave him some idea.

"It seems that this world bubble is not experienced by me personally, but it just allows me to observe and understand the past events of the previous civilization from the perspective of an outsider..."

"But who is this man in yellow robe? As far as I remember, there is definitely no such person in the game's plot about the pre-civilization."

However, just when Jiang Ming wanted to catch up, the man in yellow robe suddenly turned around. Although he could not see his face, Jiang Ming could feel his eyes staring at him, which made Jiang Ming immediately alert.

"You came."

The man in yellow robe spoke faintly. His voice was very vague, like chaos, and a little heavy. He muttered to himself.

"It seems that the means I left behind worked."

"Who are you? Isn't this the bubble world created by Kevin?"

Jiang Ming had a stern expression on his face, and had begun to secretly activate the rules of the universe. He restrained his aura to the extreme, so that if there was any danger later, he would be able to kill them here and escape.

"Haha, you don't have to be so nervous. Believe it or not, if I wanted to do it, why would I wait until now? As for my identity... don't you know it very well?"

The man in yellow robe spoke in a leisurely tone.

Jiang Ming felt a little enlightened and asked tentatively.

"Could it be that you... are also the [Ultimate] true meaning?"

The yellow-robed man chuckled after hearing this: "Haha, yes, I am the true meaning left by my original body. You don't have to be surprised by this. With my achievements and battle records back then, this is nothing."

"But since I really mean it, then naturally I have to tell you something and give you something, so please listen carefully."

"There is nothing wrong with your current approach and methods. You must continue to act according to your inner thoughts and increase your efforts. Don't delay your cultivation any longer."

"Also, I'll give you a little advice. Whether you want to improve the swordsmanship universe rules or the lightning universe rules, you can put these two aside for now and focus more on the wisdom universe rules and the refining universe rules. These two will bring you infinite benefits in the future."

"Just talking to you may not bring you any effect, so please accept my true intention."

The man in yellow robe raised his right hand, and a silver ball of light the size of a tennis ball condensed on the palm of his hand and randomly floated in front of Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed the silver ball of light in front of him. He absorbed it instantly, and the realm of the rules of the universe was immediately elevated. After Jiang Ming comprehended it, he slowly opened his eyes. Even though he had some expectations in his heart, there was still a flash of surprise in his eyes.

It was because he found that the realm of his swordsmanship universe rules and lightning universe rules had reached the initial stage of minor success! The other universe rules also improved by a small realm.

After doing all this, the figure of the man in yellow robe became somewhat illusory, his voice became even more vague, and his tone seemed somewhat helpless.

"Alas...after all, I am the true meaning left behind by the rules of the universe of Zhidao. Zhidao emphasizes thoughts, intentions, and emotions. When some thoughts gather together, they will form 'intentions'. While waiting for you, I need to ensure that I stay here well, but this will undoubtedly consume thoughts and cause part of the true meaning to dissipate. After ten thousand years, the remaining true meaning can only help you improve so much."

Because the voice was unclear, Jiang Ming only heard that the other party could only help him so much and did not hear other words. However, he was not frustrated at all.

"It doesn't matter. If I can only rely on the [Ultimate] inheritance for everything, then what's the point of having me?"

The man in yellow robe nodded: "Well, you came here to find a man named Kevin, right? You guessed right, this is the bubble of the world he created. If it weren't for me, you would have only two choices if you were trapped here - 1. Look over slowly, 2. Break it with brute force."

"Your location has just been discovered by him. My will is about to dissipate. It's time for you to get out."

"correct."

The man in yellow robe seemed to have remembered something at last and smiled casually, but the two voices were directly in his mind.

"Remember to find a good time to find the [Ultimate] truth in your body and ask about the civilization before you arrived."

Then, without waiting for Jiang Ming to answer, the man in yellow robe did something unknown, and the scene and environment in front of him changed again and turned into the original quantum sea.

But there was a white-haired young man in front of him, and because of his appearance, the surrounding space suddenly became colder.

"Kevin..."

The moment the other party appeared, Jiang Ming immediately came to his senses and began to activate the rules of the Zhidao universe to calculate Xier's position.

In an instant, a large number of thoughts filled his mind. The thoughts kept colliding and differentiating, helping him to make calculations. He also had some ideas about Kevin's sudden appearance here.

Since the mission only prohibited training and fighting, and his Zhidao Universe Rules did not use any offensive means but were more of an auxiliary calculation method, there was no violation.

But this is not enough. Jiang Ming also needs to stabilize Kevin in front of him and not let the other party stop him or even attack him. The previous forced fight was requested by the girls themselves, but Kevin would not ask Jiang Ming to fight him.

Fortunately, although Kevin had a blank expression on his face, he did not seem to have any intention of attacking, so there was a possibility of negotiation.

"You came."

Kevin spoke lightly, his tone calm.

Jiang Ming was a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and nodded: "Well, it's been a long time since we last met, Kevin. Su has sealed you here for 1500 years, right? Although this is your own will, how about it? Do you have any thoughts in your mind?"

Of course Jiang Ming didn't know Kevin yet, and he said this just to calm him down. The implication of his words just now was to ask him whether he wanted to go out.

Of course, even if Kevin answered that he wanted to go out, Jiang Ming would not really take him out because the time was not ripe yet.

But to his surprise, Kevin slowly shook his head: "According to the agreement, I have to stay here for a while."

"Is it......"

Jiang Ming answered casually. Since Kevin's strength was quite powerful, even if there was some decline, his foundation would not change. Even though Jiang Ming's wisdom of the universe rules had been improved by the true meaning of the yellow-robed man, it was only in the middle stage of entry now. It would take some time to succeed in the calculation.

But a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head and he began to ask.

"Kevin, during your time in the Quantum Sea, have you ever met a little girl?"

Kevin thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, there is a little girl, about 14 years old, but this girl is very special. She has the stigmata, but she cannot use the full power of the stigmata. It is probably because she has not yet reached an agreement with the will of the stigmata in her body. She is also very timid and cautious. If her position remains unchanged, she should be in the southeast direction of you. There is a small world bubble there. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be inside it."

After getting so many results, Jiang Ming's calculation of Xier's location became easy. He slowly restrained his methods and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he said the last words to Kevin.

"Since the agreement still exists, I will leave now. I wish you good luck."

Jiang Ming's whole body became illusory, and he gradually disappeared in front of Kevin. After the latter pondered for a while, he suddenly said to himself: "He has left."

[Haha, of course I know]

A heavy voice sounded, and a dark shadow appeared beside Kevin, and it nodded to Kevin.

[Very good, we are one step closer to the main body plan. Probably... another three years will be enough.]

"..."

[What? Do you feel that you are too powerless? Do you have to rely on others for everything? Kevin, if you ask me, no matter how bad the beginning is, it is best if there are no twists and turns. No matter how dull the middle is, it is best if there are no problems. No matter how unsatisfactory the end is, it is best if you achieve what you want.]

[So you don't have to put on a serious face all the time. She doesn't want that, does she?] The shadow comforted her casually.

"...You are not him."

[Of course I am not him. Didn't I say that from the beginning? Or do you not trust [Extreme]'s methods? ]

"...You think he noticed?"

[The entity is so smart, it should be easy for it]

"..."

Kevin stopped talking and looked quietly in the direction where Jiang Ming left, his thoughts returning to the past.
