    I stared at the flickering eyes of Long Die, watching the two bonfires in the dark night sometimes swell and sometimes dim, imagining his despair when he split me apart.

    The high-spirited and arrogant Longdie spent his whole life wandering the northern border, but in the end he wasted his time and accomplished nothing. He could only pin his hopes on another me who would start over.

    "But life doesn't need to start over." I said calmly, "Longdie, why can't you persevere on your own? Are you afraid of constantly facing failure? You are tired, desperate, your hands are empty, and the only thing left is to wait for others to come.  Give you hope.¡±

    "Longdie, you are also a Weisheng who died holding the pillar." I shook my head firmly, "You see, we are different."

    "Different?" Long Die gave out a sharp sneer, "Of course I'm not like you. You can get the inheritance of Mei just by buying something! Just jump into the sea and meet a master like A Luo! You have the Sea Dragon King, Tuoba  Feng, Kongkongxuan, Chi?????? But what do I have? What can I use to win?"

    His face twitched and he yelled at the top of his lungs: "The more you struggle and the more you persist, the more desperate you become!"

    The surroundings fell into deathly silence. Long Die's chest rose and fell, breathing heavily. After a long time, he said numbly: "What's the point of arguing about this now? You and I are buried deep underground, alone and helpless, and we have to slowly  Waiting to die. Lin Fei, you are no longer needed in the North. Your destiny is over." He seemed to have lost all his strength and never spoke a word again. He was like an empty shell, slowly walking in the suffocating darkness.  Dry slowly.

    I was silent for a while, looking around. No matter how much time I had left, I could only wait here to die slowly.

    I stretched out my hand to support the ground. There was nothing underneath me, but it was still substantial.  I arched my back, tried my best to stand up, staggered forward a few steps, and fell down again.

    Although strangulation saved me, the soul that was forcibly drawn out was too weak and could not even move freely.  I simply lay down on the ground, using my hands and feet, and crawled forward with great effort.

    An inch, a foot, a foot?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  In the deep and endless space, I crawled alone and hard.  There is darkness ahead and darkness behind. This reminds me of the scene when I was a child, crawling on the Lion Bridge in Luoyang to beg.

    " Such humiliating actions, looking back now, it turns out that they also have the dignity of life.

    Crawling forward, I kept crawling. I propped up my elbows, raised my knees, and moved my weak body toward the invisible front.

    One month, one year, many years passed in a daze, and I kept crawling forward, repeating this simple and boring action.  Suddenly, I heard Longdie's dry voice, as if covered with thick dust: "What on earth are you doing?"

    Looking back at the sound, the dragon and butterfly were still behind me. It turned out that I had not crawled very far.

    This result is indeed disappointing. Everything I did seemed to be in vain. I began to understand Long Die's loss back then.

    "It is impossible for any spell or skill to be without flaws. I have thought about it. The essence of sleep power should be the protective power produced by temporarily cutting off the physical body and the mind and putting the self into dormancy. Although a little spiritual intelligence exists, it is trapped.  Locked in the core of the spiritual world, unable to escape, can only wait for others to awaken. Awakening is actually to use external forces to open up the closed spiritual core." I heard my own voice, which seemed so small in this vast space.

    "so what?"

    "What do you think?"

    "You want to break out of the spiritual core by yourself?" Longdie was stunned and let out a hoarse and sad laugh, "It's impossible. Without external force, you and I will never be able to truly wake up."

    "So I said, we are different." I buried my head and continued to crawl forward.  The front is as far away as another world, nothing can be seen, no light, no color, no mountains or rivers, and no reference distance.

    ¡°I couldn¡¯t even hear myself crawling.

    Time passes slowly, maybe not very long, but here, the years are too long to be measured, so long that even day and night are submerged.  Every moment, I was crawling forward, monotonously and rigidly.

    Occasionally looking back, the distance between Longdie and me is still not far away.

    "Idiot, the progress is too slow!" I vaguely returned to the belly of the dragon whale. Because of my unfavorable cultivation, I received a heavy violent blow from the master.

    "Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!"

    "It doesn't matter, I will have plenty of time to further my studies in the future."

    "Hundreds of secrets, each with its own magic, finally allowed me to master it.  Unknowingly, a smile appeared on my face. At this moment, I finally understood what that gray-haired old woman meant to me.

    Climbing forward, I told myself that no matter how long it takes, I hope it won¡¯t take time.

    ???????????????????????????????????After a long time, my body seemed to have accumulated heavy dust, exuding a desolate atmosphere, but I was still crawling forward, and the distance between me and Dragon Butterfly seemed to be a little farther.

    "You can't get out." Longdie looked at me with a complicated expression, the flames in his eyes beating weakly.

    "I won't be trapped here." It was me who answered, and it seemed that Ning Zhen said this.  In the dark abyss of resentment, I saw her bright and gentle eyes, telling me: "You will never give up."

    I laughed softly, and there was light in front of me like eternal night.  Countless people are pursuing the Tao, don¡¯t they just want to see the light behind the darkness?

    I tried my best to crawl forward, like swimming against the current of a deep and fast river.  I have no boat, no oars, no abandonment and despair.

    On the faint river bank, I saw Haiji, Jiu Danmei, Nangong Ping, Ahu, Wuyan, Ye Liubing, Chudu?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  Figures floated in like mist, and then drifted away hazily. I experienced them again, experienced my own joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, and once again walked on the path of lust.

    Sometimes I laugh, sometimes cry, sometimes marvel, and sometimes sigh. They make me feel no longer lonely. It is these figures that interweave Lin Fei's life with me.  If I deny them, I would deny myself and life itself.

    No matter which one is missing, my life will not be complete.

    But they are not my strength to move forward.

    Because fate gathers and fate separates, and because all of them may eventually disappear, in this never-ending black river, the only one who can keep moving forward is himself.

    After a long time, my body seemed to be getting rusty and becoming heavier and heavier.  I tried my best to crawl, but I couldn't climb anymore, so I moved my body bit by bit. I just wanted to move forward.

    "Why?" I faintly heard the dragon butterfly behind me asking. He was like a decaying tomb, sighing emptyly.

    "Long Die, do you know what is the biggest difference between you and me?"

    "From the moment I used my sleep power, I never expected anyone else to wake me up!"

    "In this life, I never wait for others to wake me up!"

    ¡°I will wake myself up!¡±

    "This is the Tao!"

    Longdie looked at me blankly, as if frozen.  For a long time, he looked up to the sky and burst into deafening laughter.

    The laughter shook the entire mental space.

    "Lin Fei, you can't climb out alone." He smiled, and his empty eyes lit up like flames again.

    "But it's not just you!" He flew his wings, and dazzling light burst out from his whole body, and the light splashed inch by inch.

    Dragon Die¡¯s body was also shattered inch by inch, and the fragments were like bright meteors, rushing towards me one after another, merging into my weak soul.

    "Take me and live." Tears shone in his smile. Perhaps what Longdie split into back then was not a soul, but the last remaining persistence in his life.

    The light in the sky gradually extinguished, leaving only a vague shadow of the dragon and butterfly.  "I failed again." He opened and closed his lips as if to say.

    I stared at his floating figure and shook my head: "You said, you are me, and I am you."

    "I am us." I turned around, exhausted all the hopes of Longdie and me, exhausted all the attachments from my previous life and this life, and struggled to crawl forward.

    In front of the darkness, a hazy white light flashed.

    I rushed towards the white light.

    ??Longdie, have you seen it?

    That is the other side.
