Acheron sheathed her sword, and her hair returned to its previous dark color.
And the dangerous atmosphere also dissipated.
Acheron looked at Lin Shuang, who was lying on the sofa in a mess, and felt that the slightly pent-up emotions in her heart had dissipated completely.
So she reached out her hand and helped Lin Shuang into a lap pillow.
Lin Shuang leaned on her soft thigh flesh and glared at Acheron with an unpleasant look.
"No more surprise attacks next time..."
Although Lin Shuang could understand that this person was indeed controlling the intensity of her training.
Moreover, even the power of Permanence was squeezed out. Now Lin Shuang could clearly feel the power flowing in her body.
But!
This is not a reason for her to launch a surprise attack!
Especially when she took advantage of the surprise attack to do something to me.
This evil trend must be stopped!
Acheron lowered her head, and her bangs fell due to gravity, allowing Lin Shuang to see her bright eyes.
There was a smile in her curved eyes, but her mouth showed no intention of opening.
Not even a nod of the head.
"..."
Lin Shuang was so angry that she raised her hand and pinched Acheron's face.
She stretched Acheron's face with her fingers and forced the woman's head to nod twice.
She watched Acheron lower her head along with her, her eyes fixed on her, and then she pursed her lips and said:
"Just now, I seemed to see some of your memories, Acheron... I saw a lot."
Lin Shuang's tone gradually softened, and at the same time, the fingers pinching Acheron's cheeks gently loosened and turned into a gentle caress.
Hearing about it is different from experiencing it in person.
Lin Shuang knew that Acheron had experienced many hardships, but when she truly saw and felt Acheron's emotions...
Even though they were just some incoherent fragments, Lin Shuang still felt endless pain and powerlessness.
Acheron was silent for a moment, temporarily putting aside the question of why Lin Shuang could see her memories.
She then reached out and rubbed Lin Shuang's face, saying with a smile:
"...Really? It doesn't look good. Your expression has become ugly."
"How could that be, Acheron? How could your story not be interesting? Although I don't know why I saw it, if you agree, let me take a look next time."
Lin Shuang tilted her head slightly to let her head rest on Acheron's palm and continued with a smile:
"I'd love to get to know you better."
"..."
Acheron smiled slightly, enjoying Lin Shuang's soft face. After Lin Shuang calmed down a little, she asked:
"Do you feel the power of the Path in you?"
"Of course I feel it. It's the power of the Path of Permanence."
Seeing that Lin Shuang looked as if she didn't care, Acheron couldn't help but poke her forehead with her finger.
"Hey, what?"
"...The Path of Permanence is very mysterious. The Aeon disappeared inexplicably, and almost only the Vidyadhara walked on their fate. There is a lack of information about Permanence in the universe now."
"You spend every day with Nihility. Aren't you curious about why the power of Permanence manifests in you?"
Acheron explained her understanding of Permanence with a little concern.
A Pathwalker is one who has fulfilled their Path and is able to draw strength from said Path.
Everything else is fine.
But how would you fulfill the Path of Permanence?
Even the immortals on the immortal boat will face the complete loss of their self due to the Mara.
Only the Vidyadhara can reincarnate continuously. If nothing unexpected happens, theoretically they can really reincarnate all the way to the end of the universe.
Constantly dying and being reborn, a constant cycle of life and death.
In addition, the Vidyadhara are the descendants of immortal dragons and naturally have a kinship relationship with their Aeon.
Therefore, the Vidyadhara people can walk on the Path of Permanence and practice the Path of Permanence with their own lives.
That's the question.
You are an ordinary person who is neither from the Vidyadhara nor a long-life species, and you don't even have the ability of reincarnation.
How would you fulfill the Path of Permanence?
There is no Aeon on this path of life who can just look at you and pull you in.
Acheron was full of doubts and had no place to vent them.
Seeing Acheron's expression, Lin Shuang started to talk nonsense:
"Hmm... maybe it's because I've been in contact with Nihility more often, and I haven't been shrouded by its shadow, that I've unconsciously practiced Permanence? The end is also a new beginning, death is also a new life, and there is existence after Nihility. This is my understanding."
Although Lin Shuang omitted the process of eating the small pills given by the system.
But this power of Permanence did emerge only after being stimulated by the fate of Nihility. Before this, Lin Shuang had no feeling at all.
So there is actually nothing wrong with this explanation.
When Acheron heard this explanation, her eyebrows twitched twice.
She was speechless for a moment.
"…"
Why does she feel that what Lin Shuang said makes sense?
Acheron blinked, thought about it carefully, and felt that this logic seemed to make sense.
To approach Nihility is to constantly destroy oneself, while to escape from Nihility is like being reborn from death.
Because of the existence of the pair of rings, Lin Shuang really indulged in Nihility several times and then really escaped safely.
Is it equivalent to practicing the process of "living towards death"?
"What you said...seems to make some sense."
Shrouded by the shadow of Nihility, it is normally impossible to escape the fate of Nihility.
Acheron dared to let Lin Shuang come into direct contact with the void because she had the ring and knew that this level of Nihility would not have any effect on Lin Shuang.
This way of being immersed in Nihility without being swallowed by it...
Logically, it seems that there is really a possibility for people to embark on the Path of Permanence.
But normally it's impossible for anyone to do this.
Not everyone can be like Lin Shuang, who stays by her side every day, soaking in the power of Nihility from time to time, and not be affected at all.
When Lin Shuang heard Acheron's answer, her eyes widened.
Good man, how could you actually believe it?
Don't you have any doubt at all?
Just when Lin Shuang was shocked, Acheron suddenly spoke again:
"How about trying it again now? If it really works, the power from your Path can be stimulated to be stronger and can become stronger steadily."
"Now??"
Lin Shuang's pupils trembled, and she now had difficulty even standing up and walking.
Do you really think that confronting Nihility is a comfortable experience? Especially in Acheron's memory, the negative emotions kept tearing at her will.
Lin Shuang didn't mind going deeper into Acheron's past, but definitely not now.
"If you do this again, I'm afraid you'll make me pass out."
"I think you're recovering quickly..."
Acheron, a martial artist, couldn't she see that Lin Shuang's legs were still trembling when she just broke away, but in just a short while, her muscles had obviously recovered?
In other words, she still looks a little embarrassed, but if she really wants to do something. She can guarantee she can stand up and fight two games.
T/N: Also, now that I think about it, why do people hate yuri?
Women in anime and otaku culture obviously look way better than men. (This isn't being sexist or feminist) From an outsider's standpoint. Character designs for women look way better than the character designs for men.
Beautiful Character + Beautiful Character = Perfection.
