Li Andy swallowed, his body suddenly tensing.
A strange scene suddenly appeared before his eyes:
A group of unclad people, wearing rooster-comb collars and strange colorful body paint, danced an eerie dance around a bonfire, stepping on bones.
As the crowd chanted and the dance progressed, everything around them began to change in bizarre ways.
Women's bellies rapidly swelled; large fruits grew from the center of flower pistils; snakes and insects began to shed their skin… All life iterated with incredible speed.
The crowd danced more wildly, their chants growing denser.
The tail flames of the bonfire rose higher and higher…
Everyone's consciousness, following it, flew from the earth, drifting into deep space…
As if responding to the call of that distant universe…
"An…dy…"
"…An…dy…"
"Andy!!"
Li Andy's pupils constricted sharply, and he woke with a start, his back drenched in cold sweat.
The scene before his eyes vanished abruptly.
He looked at the statue again, but the feeling of being watched was gone.
Sophia looked nervous, grabbing his collar and shaking him:
"Andy, wake up! You… are you awake?"
His younger sister Youxi, however, frowned slightly, looking at him worriedly.
"You two… didn't see anything just now?" Li Andy opened his mouth.
They both shook their heads.
"Brother, what did you see?" Youxi asked.
Li Andy glanced warily at the statue and described everything he had just seen.
Youxi pondered for a few seconds and said:
"Brother, your spirituality might be higher than mine. But I don't know why it doesn't show itself."
Li Andy was stunned for a moment:
"Why do you say that?"
Yuquan Youxi considered for a moment and explained:
"What Brother just saw should be an echo. Those are 'footprints' left by some… existences when they touch the world. The stronger a person's inspiration, the clearer the 'footprints' they will see. I just heard some static."
Li Andy frowned; he knew this setting.
In the game, Youxi had a spirit-sight-like ability. By touching certain items, she could see or hear some blurry fragmented scenes and words.
This ability helped her solve many mysteries.
But what he had just seen was as high-definition as a 2K movie.
So much so that he didn't immediately associate it with "echoes."
One must know that the clearer one sees, the easier it is to see things one shouldn't, and the easier it is to go mad.
Yuquan Youxi looked at the solemn Li Andy, reached out and held his hand, her small hand gently squeezing his palm silently.
"I'm fine…"
Li Andy took a deep breath,
"Let's go. I probably know what's going to happen next."
…
The war continued.
As time passed, it intensified.
With Zorro's addition, the gun formations advanced rapidly.
Yorson, after hearing his fourth sister's message, wailed uncontrollably in the dungeon, finally breaking his own gun barrel.
The spear leader died in a hail of bullets, and the second warrior, having just succeeded, had his spearhead broken again.
His second brother, Spear, led a small team to sneak into the enemy's position, attempting to negotiate, but was ordered by the Baron to be shot on the spot.
The mountain people's side retreated steadily.
As a result, the forces searching for Li Andy and the other two were withdrawn.
The Skull Scepter Elder continuously accelerated the birthing process, causing cracks to appear in the skull at the top of the scepter.
An endless stream of newborns was sent to the battlefield.
This was a war concerning the survival of their race.
The leaves of the deep forest had, at some point, been dyed dark red, and in a daze, Li Andy and the other two, watching the battle, saw blood splattering across a group of fleshless creations.
Gradually, the mountain people were forced back to the deep pit altar.
Flintlock Baron Flander laughed wildly, declaring his victory, and under the angry rebuke of the Skull Scepter, gave the order for total annihilation.
Before the bullets could fall, the Skull Scepter, along with the remaining women and children, broke itself.
A strange force spread from the center. Baron Flander bore the brunt, various limbs wriggling and proliferating on his body, and disgusting tumors blocked his gun barrel.
Screams echoed continuously through the forest.
Meilin walked through it unaffected, causing the firearms to scatter into stardust and merge into her body before they could transform into monsters.
"What are you doing?" Zorro asked.
He also felt an itch on his body at this time, but under the restraint of a certain thread, no abnormality occurred.
"Recycling."
Meilin replied,
"Don't worry, when the sun rises, everything will return to normal again, everything… will start over."
"Since I became aware of the difference, I have looped in this land over ten thousand times."
"Now, it will be quiet here for a while."
"Can you let your master come out and chat?"
Clearly, this domain was also a Reincarnation Domain .
But Meilin was a reincarnator who retained her memories.
