Chapter 595 The Other Side in the Long River of Time
For the strong, you need to be in awe of time, even if you think you are immortal.

In the vast world, the definition of immortality is very simple, that is, the endless lifespan of eternal life.

But in fact, many existences who have gone through untold hardships and reached this standard often choose to hide themselves and stop entering the world, because they are tired of time.

Time is ruthless, it can make things that you thought were interesting before slowly become less interesting.

Some people say that life is enjoyment, but all enjoyment becomes the same. After making you feel numb, you will still feel enjoyment. Is it really a kind of enjoyment?

No, it was painful torment, so many strong men did not fall under the enemy's sword, but fell under the infection of time.

"The seventh level, the test of xinxing, the time is long."

There was a gray area around him, and he couldn't see where he was, nor what place it was.

Wu Ming only knows that he has three years to cross the river of time and reach the other side, otherwise he will be considered a failure.

Of course, the flow rate of time here is different. Three years is the external time, but here it is 300 million years.

Is 300 million years long, not long, Wu Ming's main body retreats once, and it has reached hundreds of millions of years in the sea of ​​time.

But here is different, the 300 million years here are not for you to retreat, but for you to step out of the long river of time.

In the state of retreat, one enlightenment is tens of thousands of years, and the passage of time cannot be felt.

It's different here, the passage of time is in your heart, you can feel every minute, every second of time change, enjoy 300 million years of loneliness and torture, or say I give up.

"The loneliness of time!"

Wu Ming was on the road, walking in the gray world, and began the test of the seventh level.

In the first year, he walked very fast, singing songs all the way to relieve his boredom, and he still had the mind to appreciate the surroundings in his spare time.

In the tenth year, his walking slowed down. He had thought about everything he could think of, but he still felt bored.

For 1 year, the feeling of boredom continued, and the long road was slow, and there was no hope at all.

In the 1000th year, Wu Ming felt that he was going crazy. For the first time, he felt that he was so lonely, so empty, as if he was the only one in the world, very lonely.

1 million years
"Is it worth it? I don't plan to pay homage to Marquis Lanshan, but just for a secret treasure. Is it worth enjoying this kind of loneliness?" In the long river of time, Wu Ming's eyes were dull, and he muttered messily in his mouth.

This question is very difficult, Wu Ming asked himself for 1000 years, I give up three words, always lingering on the lips.

But it was difficult for him to open his mouth, because the top [-] people in Linglong Pagoda were all passers-by above level seven, and Wu Ming didn't think he couldn't do things that others could do.

It is easy for me to give up three words, but it is too difficult to let go of my pride.

Wu Ming always felt that he was not a proud person, but when things came to an end, he found out that he was wrong, very wrong.

10 years.
"I am the reincarnation of a strong man. How can I not do what a stellar warrior can do? I want to move forward, I can't stop, I won't admit defeat"

10 years of loneliness, 10 years of ups and downs.

Wu Ming is like a lunatic, stepping three times, walking in the long river of time, the only thing he insists on is faith.

Over time, he learned to relieve boredom with himself, compiled a chess game from his brain, and played with himself.

Or, recalling his past, he has plenty of time to think and judge from God's perspective, which is a good way to pass the time.

100 years.
From the joy at the beginning, to the madness in the middle, and to the calmness later, it took Wu Ming a full 100 million years.

The long memory made him a little numb, like a walking dead, just walking forward mechanically.

At this time, the original loneliness is no longer loneliness, but a kind of companionship.

Wandering in loneliness, ups and downs in loneliness, may be a kind of enjoyment.

Wu Ming learned to enjoy loneliness, the emptiness in his heart, and everything he could feel.

He felt that he was so powerful at this moment, and there was nothing in this world that moved him anymore.

200 million years
Food has a shelf life, love has a shelf life, and enjoying solitude is the same, right?

Two million years ago, loneliness was originally his intimate partner, but now it is more like a torture, just like the family is no longer warm and daunting after a good marriage has deteriorated.

It's a change of mind, going from awe at first, to enjoyment, to final dread.

Wu Ming began to ask himself again, is such a test really worth it, does he really need this secret treasure.

Perhaps, there is nothing wrong with admitting defeat. Whoever has never lost in this life will lie down wherever they fall, which is actually quite good.

250 million years
"Take another ten thousand steps and admit defeat."

After 30 steps, Wu Ming, like a goldfish with only [-] seconds of memory, made up his mind again: "Take another [-] steps and admit defeat."

Yes, this is a kind of deception, Wu Ming has learned how to deceive himself.

It's easy to lie to others, and it's also easy to lie to yourself. A cycle of [-] steps will force him to forget the past and take another [-] steps.

Over time, [-] steps is more like a slogan, a kind of motivation, which makes him go on again and again.

At this time, Wu Ming had already forgotten the time and everything in the past.

He is just a walking robot, and the only thing that exists in the program is another [-] steps.

"This is." I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know how long it has passed, Wu Ming suddenly realized that he saw the other side of his dream.

The other shore was not far away, he called loudly, and rushed forward with all his strength, but he got nothing.

One vigorous effort, then weakened, and exhausted three times, this is what the art of war says.

Wu Ming ran forward crazily, but when he found that no matter how he ran, the other shore in front of him was still out of reach, his tense heart finally collapsed.

Kneeling in the long river of time, Wu Ming burst into tears, he was not afraid of despair, what he was afraid of was nothing but bubbles wrapped in hope.

When you are full of expectations, thinking that what you have grasped is hope, and when you open it, you find that there is still despair inside, that feeling is really unacceptable.

"Give up, give up, you can't carry more."

"Don't give up, don't give up, the other shore is right in front of you, if you give up, what's the persistence before?"

Two voices appeared in his mind, they were constantly arguing, one said to give up, the other said to persist, Wu Ming had a splitting headache from the quarrel.

Wu Ming held his head tightly, he didn't know who he should listen to, he just held his head numbly and asked, "Who are you?"

"I insist. You should listen to me. People say that persistence is the most important character." A voice replied.

"I'm giving up. You should listen to me. People say that giving up properly is the choice of a smart person." This was the answer from another voice.

"Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me."

Persistence and renunciation compete head-to-head, both sides insist on their own words, and no one will let the other.

Wu Ming didn't know who to listen to, so he could only move on, and replied: "When you decide whether to win or lose, I will listen to the winner. You can go to debate."

Hearing such words, persist and give up, and said in one voice: "You won, we listen to you."

"I won, listen to me?" Wu Ming asked subconsciously, "Who am I?"

"Haha, you are so stupid. Of course you have your heart. Only your heart can win us."

Perseverance and giving up laugh, they are two kinds of character in the heart, only the heart can accommodate, only the heart can surrender.

There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures, how should you live, how can you subdue your heart.

The Buddha said: You should live like this, and your heart should surrender like this.
