The river, which had been surging and roaring, more terrifying than a tsunami, suddenly became calm.
In an instant.
Not even a single splash of water was stirred.
It was as if Xidu, who was in a state of frenzy a second ago, with his hair dancing wildly and slaughtering everything in sight, became a pure, shy little white flower with her head bowed the next second.
Such an abrupt change would probably make Huang Laoxie's wife's coffin lid unable to stay closed.
Mingxi didn't have a coffin lid for now, but the moment she noticed this scene, she almost couldn't hold back a jump in mid-air, nearly falling straight down. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Actually, it wasn't 'almost'.
When Black Water River turned into a dead silence, she and Golden Yuanbao completely lost the right to control their own bodies.
"Bang! Boom!"
Two sounds like exploding fish, one light and one heavy, rang out.
Mingxi and Golden Yuanbao didn't even have a chance to let out a 'breath' from their throats before they felt a large amount of liquid pouring into their ears, noses, and throats.
"Puff puff ha..."
Mingxi could swim, of course, but in Black Water River, she seemed to have lost that ability.
The water was all-pervasive and everywhere, wrapping around her body.
Making her unable to move.
Not just her, Golden Yuanbao's situation was similar.
Like a bird that had lost the sky, it sank helplessly in the water.
Mingxi wanted to control her body, but after much effort, she remained a landlubber.
She couldn't even move her fingers.
Moreover, she felt that her thinking ability had become dull and slow, as if her mind wasn't her own.
Even the connection with Jinyinlan and the others had become weak.
But all these feelings seemed to be her own illusion; she was still smart, witty, beautiful, and generous, and her bond with Jinyinlan was still as solid as a rock.
But Mingxi knew that her feelings were not wrong; rather, some power was trying to conceal and erase these feelings of hers.
Good heavens!
Although Chu Kuangsheng had warned them in advance that the Creation Fruit might be even more dangerous than they had predicted.
But this chain of dangers, one after another, was also something Mingxi had not anticipated.
Mingxi's forcibly dulled brain thought for a long time, and it seemed there were only two things she could do now.
Lie flat and wait for... life or death?
Or cheat by summoning the Time Realm, combining her and Guangguang's wisdom, to find a way to escape Black Water River.
Good children certainly can't cheat on the college entrance exam.
Mingxi was definitely a good child.
But a good child who is alive is a good child.
A dead one is a dead child.
What's wrong with cheating?
She already had a cheat; couldn't she cheat for her life?
Principles are nothing in the face of life!
So Mingxi unhesitatingly activated the Time Realm.
The moment the Time Realm Descent, the mysterious power of Black Water River disappeared, and she and Golden Yuanbao immediately shivered, their minds clear.
The person and the beast exchanged glances and immediately pushed open the Time Realm's door.
"Whew!"
Mingxi and Golden Yuanbao exhaled a long breath almost simultaneously.
That feeling of their bodies not being controlled by their own consciousness and their minds feeling like they had been replaced was truly not pleasant.
"Master."
Guangguang spoke, "The water in Black Water River is Forbidden Extinction Water."
"Sting of Death, Void of Thought is the Abyss."
"Forbidden Extinction Zone, Gods and Demons Return to the Map." frёeωebɳovel.com
Mingxi blinked, looking confused: "I don't understand."
Guangguang sighed; everything about its master was good, except she was a bit uneducated.
Alas!
"These four sentences refer to four dangerous places: Sting of Death, Void of Thought Abyss, Forbidden Extinction Zone, and Gods and Demons Map."
Mingxi was sure that she, with her °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° extensive knowledge, had never heard of these four dangerous places.
"To avoid wasting your reward duration, I'll explain the other three dangerous places when you encounter them in the future. I'll just tell you about this Forbidden Extinction Zone."
Mingxi nodded; the reward duration indeed should not be wasted.
"The so-called Forbidden Extinction Zone, in short, is an area where no 'delusion' exists, appearing because of Forbidden Extinction Water. Unless the Forbidden Extinction Water dries up, the Forbidden Extinction Zone will never disappear.
And delusion, absurd, arrogant, unrealistic, contemptuous of everything, willful, overly wild...
All are delusions.
Within the Forbidden Extinction Zone, any thought or action related to delusion will be rejected, forbidden, or erased."
That's so powerful!
Mingxi was utterly astonished.
She recalled her and Golden Yuanbao's performance after entering the white fog area.
So Golden Yuanbao being forcibly sent back to the Pet Space was because its act of flying into the white fog was a 'delusion'.
And her summoning Golden Yuanbao to try and leave after entering the black and white boundary was also a 'delusion'.
But did her act of climbing the mountain wall not count as 'delusion'?
It seems that only it knows the judgment criteria for this thing.
"It's quite abnormal; no wonder this place is like a life forbidden zone," Mingxi complained.
According to Guangguang's explanation, normal creatures entering the Forbidden Extinction Zone would not have a good outcome.
Because any living being with emotions and feelings will, more or less, produce delusory thoughts.
No delusion?
Mingxi, a common person full of complaints, just wanted to shout: "This concubine cannot do it!"
However, Mingxi finally understood why the single-eye camera had never had problems.
Because it was essentially a non-living entity, without thoughts, and all its actions were based on her.
So it wouldn't produce 'delusion'.
"Then how do we leave the Forbidden Extinction Zone?"
Guangguang: "Master, the situation is not too bad.
Forbidden Extinction Water is water yet not water; it cannot drown people.
The situation you are experiencing now should be prohibition, which means prohibiting all your actions and eradicating all your thoughts."
So that's how it is!
No wonder she felt like her head was being opened; even thoughts were to be eradicated?
How terrifying!
"Theoretically, even if you sink in Forbidden Extinction Water for a lifetime, you won't die.
You just won't be able to move."
What a 'just'.
It's not you whose brain is being dug out, is it?
She couldn't help but hold her head, "Oh no, am I still me now?"
Guangguang almost burst out laughing.
Its master was so cute.
"Don't worry, Master, the laws of the Time Realm are above all else. When you enter the Time Realm, the prohibition of the Forbidden Extinction Water will be erased, so you are definitely still you."
Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief: "But we can't possibly stay in the Time Realm forever; the reward duration is too costly."
Troubled as she was.
Solutions are thought up by people.
So, she still had to think seriously!
...Guangguang, will rejection, prohibition, and eradication not appear simultaneously?
"That's right. Since you are forbidden, you will absolutely not be eradicated, so in fact, Master, your luck is not bad."
Mingxi: "...Hehe."
However, after hearing Guangguang's words, she already had a preliminary plan, but she had to try it first.
No sooner said than done.
Try it first.
Mingxi took Golden Yuanbao and exited the Time Realm.
The moment the Time Realm disappeared, her body once again lost its autonomous control.
But in that fleeting moment when the Time Realm and reality switched, Mingxi clearly felt the freedom of her body!
Although it was only for a short breath.
It truly existed!
"Let's go for it! Let's do this!"
