254: I will also be one of the actors in this show

In this mind-like world, Xi He's psychological age grew rapidly, because one day in the outside world was one year inside.

This was brought about by the power of the Planet Will within Xi He's body.

Xiao Fan's Planet Will allowed him to transform from a one-star Genius to the current God of All Talents.

Her Planet Will, on the other hand, gave her an opportunity for Rebirth and transformation.

Ying Zheng's world did not contain much content; the Planet Will could not show her everything, only some important things.

Three full years passed, and she finally finished experiencing Ying Zheng's world. Finally, she lay in the space, the false pride in her eyes having dissipated considerably.

She was now filled with more guilt.

It turned out she had hurt him so deeply, yet he always said nothing and offered no explanations.

Finally, she exhaled a turbid breath, stood up, and looked at the crystal that recorded Xiao Fan's life, her face a little tense.

The journey through Ying Zheng's life, though difficult, did not push her to the point of collapse, yet the color of Xiao Fan's crystal was much deeper than Ying Zheng's.

This indicated that the pain contained within it was incomparable to the previous journey.

As for Huang Quan and Jiang Shenyi on the other side, she would take her time. She truly wanted to empathize with them, but she also realized that if she were to touch her father's or the Great General's crystals now, she might truly collapse.

After Xi He's breathing calmed down, her palm gently caressed Xiao Fan's crystal.

The next second, her pupils suddenly constricted. Before the images even appeared, she already felt pain—no... it was an icy chill, a bone-chilling cold, like a desperate person abandoned by the world.

Then, she opened her eyes, and before her was an alley covered in shadows.

Outside the alley, the sun was bright, and people were chatting and laughing.

Inside the alley, a seven-year-old boy was completely covered in shadow. He was curled up in a corner, holding a talent test report in his hand.

It clearly stated a data: Talent: One-star.

At this moment, Xiao Fan's distance from this world was like the distance between the inside and outside of the alley.

One side was piled with garbage, dirty, and reeking.

The other side was bathed in sunlight.

Seven-year-old Xiao Fan lowered his head. He didn't cry; instead, he clenched his fists tightly, his face distorted.

He was furious to the extreme!

Because he couldn't understand why this was the result?

One-star Talent... Was I abandoned by the world?

Just like this garbage-strewn alley... unheeded, uncared for.

Xi He stood in Xiao Fan's mind, her face bewildered.

Was this Xiao Fan's childhood?

But Xi He did not expect that this was only the beginning of the pain.

The scene shifted.

Xiao Fan returned home dejectedly and opened the door.

There was no familiar smell of food in the house, no human sound, and a letter lay on the old dining table.

Xiao Fan stepped forward and tore open the letter. The general content of the letter was that his parents were leaving for other places and might not return for many years...

Upon seeing these words on paper, Xi He's face changed drastically, for she naturally knew what this meant.

But it seemed even the seven-year-old Xiao Fan knew.

After a moment of daze, he slumped onto the stool, his face blank, his body limp, the letter in his hand blown out the window by a gust of wind.

At this moment, Xi He clearly felt the extreme pain in Xiao Fan's heart, almost enough to tear her own heart apart, making her breathe with difficulty, even emitting choked sounds.

At this point, she remembered that at the same age of seven, she was joyfully sitting on Huang Quan's shoulders flying a kite, galloping across endless grasslands, her face full of smiles.

But then, something even more shocking happened.

Under a double blow, Xiao Fan still did not cry.

He slowly stood up and looked at the full-length mirror placed next to the living room. The mirror surface was smooth; it must have been freshly wiped during the day.

The mirror reflected Xiao Fan's face.

Although his face was young, his eyes were terrifyingly intense. The flames of anger almost solidified, and veins throbbed across his face. This was not at all the expression of a seven-year-old child!

Xiao Fan slowly walked to the mirror, stared at himself in the mirror, remained silent for a long while, then suddenly punched the mirror surface, roaring angrily: "Damn you!"

The center of the mirror shattered, and cracks spread outwards.

Xiao Fan's knuckles were cut by the sharp fragments, and blood dripped from his fist, but he did not pull back his hand. He stared intently at his shattered reflection in the mirror, forcibly enduring all the pain, as if only by doing so could he feel a little better.

At this moment, Xi He, in the mind-like world, suddenly seemed to have her soul drawn out. She slumped to the ground, her face utterly distraught.

Because she finally understood where the gap between herself and Xiao Fan lay.

This gap was almost impossible to bridge, just as the Planet Will had said, it was something innate, born in the bones.

There is only one kind of heroism in this world: when one learns the truth of the world and experiences all its pain, yet still possesses the courage to throw a punch.

No matter how many hardships follow, one must bare their fangs at this foolish world!

And what about her, Xi He?

Just being hung up and cursed a few times, as if the sky had fallen, as if she had died?

Compared to him, what was that pride?

Just a kind of ignorant arrogance...

Suddenly, the eighteen-year-old Xiao Fan appeared in her mind.

Back then in Leitian City, his talent was only at the Saint level!

But he, with the most shocking posture, forcefully defeated her and won the Legacy!

Then, in the Super God Class battle, he emerged with the most resolute posture, punching with anger towards this world.

He had already won!

Because disaster no longer fell upon him!

No, it should be said that his speed of advancement was always one step ahead of disaster!

Despairing fate did not break him; instead, it became the driving force for his frantic progress.

Xi He also suddenly understood why Xiao Fan always seemed like a madman, fighting with his life if he couldn't win, determined to win no matter the cost!

Because his opponent was never just a single person; it was also the fate that had once almost crushed everything he had.

So he would rather die than lose again!

Thinking of this.

Xi He suddenly laughed, laughing until she knelt in the mind-like world, trembling uncontrollably, even tears flowing out.

Never had she felt so ridiculous.

Xi He?

Sun God?

A peerless Genius bearing the Planet Will?

These titles she once prided herself on now made her feel utterly laughable.

The title of Yuan Emperor was forcefully snatched by Xiao Fan from the hands of fate.

And me?

I am nothing at all...

At this moment, the scene flickered again.

Xiao Fan began to move forward.

Xi He also experienced with Xiao Fan all the efforts he had put in from childhood to adulthood.

Watching him bury himself in his study, researching Dao day and night.

Watching him frantically exercise his body every day.

Watching him being mocked by his peers.

Watching him go up the mountain to kill enemies for the first time. He was only twelve years old then, wearing a black robe, and other adventurers thought he was a dwarf.

The nervousness of his first conversation with an adventurer.

The first time he lied, and after being accidentally exposed, he was surrounded by people under a tree and beaten severely.

But the second time, the third time, he became skilled.

Watching him get severely injured for the first time trying to save someone, almost dying, and the person he saved never even thanked him.

So later, he committed all kinds of evil, burning, killing, and plundering.

But even so, he would still continue to save those adventurers trapped in desperate situations.

Those dirtiness and sins were his means of survival in this world.

But beneath these ugly true faces, hidden was a pure heart of a strong person.

In this process, Xi He and Xiao Fan endured hardships together, pondered the meaning of power together, researched how to kill enemies most cleanly and efficiently, and also learned how to curse together.

Even, writing their own last words with Xiao Fan.

Because he didn't know when he would die, but he hoped...

"Looking back, Xiao Fan's life must be a grand and brilliant performance... Never mind, the demand seems a bit high, but at least it should be a dazzling and splendid fireworks display, right?"

Xi He wrote the words with Xiao Fan, murmuring in her heart, "I will also be one of the actors in this performance."
