Located in the "Mirror Abyss Realm" on the second level of the Well of the Oath, the cold wind seemed to blow from the invisible depths, carrying fine whispers and damp chills. The moment the three people passed through a mirror door and entered the Mirror Abyss Realm, everything around them changed.
No longer dim stone walls and runes, but a huge dome space floating in the air.
There is no ground here, and there is a translucent light surface underfoot, like a lake reflecting the shadows of the three people. But the shadows are not completely consistent. Su Yue's shadow is slightly deflected, and a vague red halo appears behind her, like the remnants of a bloody moon.
"This place doesn't seem to exist in reality." Lather looked at the void under his feet cautiously.
"This is the Mirror Abyss Realm." Ethan frowned and said, "It is the most mysterious layer of the mind folding field in the Oath Realm. According to ancient books, those who can enter this layer will be forced to face their deepest 'true self'."
"And if the 'true self' is not aware of itself, it will be replaced."
Su Yue closed her eyes and stood still: "We have no way out, keep moving forward."
The three of them walked slowly into the mirror passage, and the light and images around them kept changing, as if trying to "read" their memories and emotions. Suddenly, the mirror under Su Yue's feet rippled, and a familiar scene emerged:
On the top of Blood Moon Mountain, a girl in white clothes lay on the mottled altar, surrounded by the seals of the main oath hall, chanting ancient spells.
That was her memory of being implanted with the "core of life fire".
"Is this the fear in your heart?" Ethan asked in a low voice.
"No." Su Yue opened her eyes and said calmly, "It's the starting point I remember."
"I'm not afraid of it."
With her whisper, the mirror image shattered, and a deep passage extended forward. Just as the three were about to step forward, the space suddenly shook, and a "light laugh" came from the void in front.
"You are too eager to deny your fear, Su Yue."
A figure slowly walked from the front, wearing a red cloak and a gray-silver mask on his head. The mask was engraved with the broken symbol of the six seals of the Lord's Oath Hall.
"Are you that person?" Su Yue clenched the Life Fire Power Core, her eyes cold.
But he gently took off the mask, revealing a face that Su Yue was extremely familiar with
It was Su Yue himself.
"This is not an illusion." Lasse said in a deep voice, "The Mirror Abyss Realm shows the mind image itself. It is not fictitious or fabricated, it only 'reflects'."
The red-cloaked woman chuckled: "Do you think you can refuse the awakening of the 'Lord of the Deep Oath'? Your will has already split into two at the moment we shared it."
"I am you."
"But not the you of now, but the you after awakening."
Ethan was shocked, and Lasse also said in a concentrated voice: "This is the horror of the Mirror Abyss Heart Realm. It is not to let you face fear, but to face your possible future self."
Su Yue's expression did not change: "Since you are 'me', then you know that I will not bow to you."
The red-cloaked woman smiled lightly and said nothing, but raised her hand, and a ruined battlefield appeared in the void. The sky was full of blood rain, the old gods whispered, and the oath realm collapsed.
In the ruins, Su Yue stepped on the remaining core of the life fire, wearing blood wings, and the complete nine-ring deep oath mark appeared behind him, judging the gods expressionlessly.
"You will eventually choose destruction." The woman in the red cloak whispered, "Because you can't trust anyone. You will watch the oath world become a ruin, and then control it, replacing all rules with "My Oath."
"You are not a savior, you are a terminator."
Su Yue looked at the scene, and the desire to fight ignited in her eyes.
"What I will become is up to me."
She suddenly attacked, and the life fire power core exploded in her palm, slashing directly at the "self in the mirror" in front of her. The woman in the red cloak did not dodge, but showed a relieved smile:
"Very good."
In an instant, the two life fires collided, and the space broke.
Boom!
Su Yue stepped back a few steps, Lasse supported her in time, and Ethan quickly set up a barrier to isolate the impact.
"She's not dead." Su Yue panted, "That's just a possibility in my future... She will come back."
"She is testing me."
Lasse frowned: "What does she want you to understand?"
"Let me either become the real her or be swallowed by her."
Su Yue's eyes were firm: "But she overlooked one thing: I am not alone."
She looked around Lasse and Ethan: "I am not alone in crossing the Fire of Life and the Blood Oath. I will take you and walk this road together."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings of the Mirror Abyss Realm began to collapse. The space reflected slices of the past and the future like a broken crystal, and finally converged into a staircase extending downward, and the "Stairs of Weird Thoughts" leading to the third step was finally opened.
But just as the three were about to step onto the stairs, a very weak but high-frequency "spiritual wave" penetrated the space.
Su Yue turned her head suddenly and looked at the end of the void.
"Wait"
She recognized that voice.
It was the voice of her dead sister, Su Yu.
"Sister, do you still remember the oath?"
Su Yue was stunned, her body trembling slightly.
At that moment, the last scene of Jingyuan emerged
The oath of childhood, the moonlit courtyard of the old house, two girls holding hands and lying under the tree, looking at the same blood moon.
"No matter how far you go, I will find you."
"Because you are my only sister."
The mirror shadow dissipated, Su Yue slowly closed her eyes, and her palm stroked the core of the life fire:
"I remember."
"I will find you."
She opened her eyes and stepped into the "Stage of Weird Thoughts".
In the other side of the world, in a secret room hidden by the main oath hall, a silver-haired girl slowly opened her eyes.
Her pupils were one red and one gold.
"Sister, you are finally here."
