Chapter 327.1: Let Us Both Die Together
With all that has happened in the Mind Free Peak, it seemed like things had come to an end at that moment.
All this time, everything that was visible to the eye seemed to have been just a beautiful dream. With the crumbling of the final mental layer that held up everything, all of it would come to fade into nothingness.
The structures that stood towering over those wide snowy lands then began to crumble inch by inch.
In a matter of a few breaths, the magnificently majestic and surreal palace no longer stood. Right before their eyes, was a wide and boundless land seemingly completely wrecked by a long and brutal war, where not an inch of grass grew, with many deep cracks etched in the ground, looking like the deep weather beaten wrinkles on the face of a wizened old man almost at the end of his days.
A sight so desolate and dismal it was frightening.
“What..... just happened?”
It took quite a good while before everyone was able to recover from that terrifying and shocking sight before their eyes.
Lian Shi carried the woman who seemed to have fallen unconscious in his arms as he stood up slowly. His voice was clear and indifferent as he opened his mouth to say: “This is what the Mind Free Peak looks like originally, but no one in the world outside knows about it.”
His gaze then turned towards the woman in his arms, and a sliver of sympathy and regret came into his eyes.
“Back before the gods and demon races started their war against each other, she was just a young and carefree little princess. The world in her heart was filled with kindness and goodwill, without any conflict and dispute. Hence, she used every bit of cultivation she managed to acquire throughout her entire life to create such an immense and beautiful illusory realm over these lands.”
After those words came out from Lian Shi’s mouth, everyone could not help but become highly astounded.
It seemed like they could not bring themselves to come to believe that everything here in the Mind Free Peak, a realm of divinity that was highly revered to be a place of immortal beauty by everyone in the world, was actually all just a fabricated illusion, created from a person’s living memory who refused to let go of her past.
In the end, it was just a facade, like the moon reflected in water, a dream will afterall still be a dream, and the day would come where one would wake up from it.
The corners of Lian Shi’s lips lifted in a smile, though it seemed to look a little bitter and carried a self mocking tinge. “All her life, ever since she came to meet that man, she had been chasing his footsteps throughout. It is only now, that I think she has really woken up from all her delusions.....”
Speaking up till that point, Lian Shi then turned slowly towards everyone and said: “I’m afraid that everyone must be disappointed for the trip all of you made to come here this time. There isn’t any secret hidden treasure here as rumoured, but just a sad and grievous past from a million years ago. And from now onwards, the Mind Free Peak will no longer exist in the world anymore.”
