Gradually, the previously chaotic, pitch-black curtain slowly revealed various colors, much like the opening act of a movie.

As various lights appeared, they quickly intertwined to create a scene of a narrow but orderly room.

When the cramped room was fully revealed, the scene of Fang Sheng covered in cold sweat and clutching his abdomen was also revealed.

This time, the beginning of his gray memories is no longer his past life, but the moment he awakens in this life.

That is, when I was first diagnosed with cancer.

Moreover, this time he wasn't experiencing it firsthand, but was instead relegated to the position of an observer.

After a brief silence, Fang Sheng turned his gaze to the "self" in front of him.

The man in front of me, Fang Sheng, clutched his abdomen for a long time before he could suppress the pain caused by late-stage liver cancer.

As the pain subsided, the cold sweat on his face gradually disappeared.

"Holy crap, why does it hurt so much?"

However, even as the pain gradually subsided, he was still rolling around on that small bed in agony.

However, although he shared the pain while watching this scene, the agony that had once made Fang Sheng's face contort seemed insignificant to him now.

As Fang Sheng showed no reaction to the excruciating pain he had once endured, the scene shifted dramatically, like ripples spreading across water, directly to the hospital.

"Hello? Patient? Patient, are you listening?"

As Fang Sheng regained consciousness, he immediately saw a doctor in a white coat calling out to [himself] in the scene.

"what happened?"

The doctor coughed.

"Um, patient, do you have any family members?"

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Fang Sheng in the video frowned and shook his head. "I have no family left. Just tell me if you have any problems."

Looking at the boy in front of him, the doctor sighed.

"Hey young man, how old are you this year?"

"I'll be turning nineteen in a month."

"Only eighteen..." The doctor sighed, seemingly lamenting Fang Sheng's youth. "Since you have no relatives, I have no choice but to tell you directly. You should be prepared."

Fang Sheng in the scene was startled, but he remained expressionless as he watched this scene.

Fang Sheng remained silent for a moment, his tone no longer agitated, but rather calm.

"Doctor, please tell me directly, I can handle it."

The doctor nodded and handed over a diagnosis certificate.

"Child, your liver cancer has reached an advanced stage."

Fang Sheng stood there, stunned.

Fang Sheng remained expressionless.

As mentioned before, the pain he had suffered in the past was no longer a pain to him.

As his expression remained blank, the scene shifted, suddenly zooming in on the 039 Night Watchmen recruit training camp in Cangnan City.

It was a night just like any other.

The only difference was that a man who hadn't been able to fall asleep stood in front of a dormitory window.

He didn't speak, and no one talked to him, so those watching this scene could only sense his loneliness, and couldn't discern any other emotion.

Chapter 683 Why did he always have a blank expression?

Seeing Fang Sheng standing by the window gazing at the bright moon, many people in the Great Xia Dynasty looked puzzled.

After all, they didn't know what happened back then, while Shen Qingzhu and Lin Qiye, who knew exactly what happened, both fell silent.

From this point onward, the scenes Fang Sheng experienced began to change rapidly, with each scene lasting less than five minutes.

Shen Qingzhu finalizes a collaboration under the moonlight in the park… She escapes with a severed finger during the Earth Dragon incident… She refines a celestial Gu in the Cangnan battle with the body of a mortal… She breaks ties with Lin Qiye during the Huaihai campaign… Shen Qingzhu delivers wine to Lin Qiye during the Japan campaign… She travels through various divine kingdoms, striving to become stronger at all costs… She kills an old friend with her sword in the West Kunlun Secret Realm…

Everything was constantly changing in the world like a dream, and it was at this moment that the Night Watchers and the people of Great Xia realized that everything the former Commander-in-Chief of Great Xia, now the most wanted criminal in Great Xia, had experienced was actually so dreamlike.

First, he was diagnosed with cancer, then he discovered that he was actually dead, and then he miraculously revived himself.

Although it sounds inspiring, a little reflection reveals the bitterness within.

After experiencing all of this, he then faced the loss of old friends...

"President Fang... was the Demon Lord's experience really that bumpy?"

Su Zhe couldn't help but speak up.

Su Yuan sighed, "If the Night Watch hadn't abandoned him back then... would Great Xia really have had another Commander-in-Chief...?"

A moment of silence fell over everyone.

Unlike them, Lin Qiye was staring intently at Fang Sheng, who stood expressionless to the side in the screen.

Why does he always have a blank expression?

As the scene shifted, Fang Sheng, remaining conscious throughout, easily overcame this ordeal.

After he passed through the Gray Memory, his realm officially broke through the Eight Revolutions and Three Tribulations.

From this point on, his main cultivation path, the Human Dao, accumulated to around 300,000 Dao traces, while the other Dao traces added up to more than 200,000 in total.

However, as his power increased, Fang Sheng also understood why Fang Si had not broken through to the ninth level.

With a slight raise of his hand, a faint, yet palpable, suppression of the world instantly appeared.

"It seems that what he said is true; the realm of the Quasi-Immortal Venerable is indeed the limit of this world."

After a moment of silence, Fang Sheng suddenly waved his hand, and all the Immortal Gu he had previously refined—the Immortal Gu of My Will, the Immortal Gu of Others, the Immortal Gu of All Beings, the Immortal Gu that Sees Me, the Immortal Gu that Sees Others, and the Immortal Gu that Sees All Beings—flew up.

As numerous immortal Gu flew up, the sixth-rank wisdom Gu slowly flew closer under his control.

Looking at all the Gu worms in front of him, Fang Sheng's eyes became increasingly calm.

Now he understands very clearly that to defeat Fang Si, his cultivation level of the Eighth Revolution and Third Tribulation is not enough, and even with the addition of these Gu worms, it is still not enough.

Even if he uses all his preparations, it may not be enough.

Therefore, he could only try to refine the Gu worm he had been planning, according to his own wishes.

That is, self-inflicted poison.

In fact, Fang Sheng had already guessed that Fang Si wanted to refine a self-generated Gu.

Fang Si had been reincarnated for hundreds of millions of years and had long since fallen into madness. The only thing that could make him calm down and plan for so many years was the extremely restrained and disorderly Gu that affected him.

Of course, what he was planning was definitely the Nine-Turn Self-Poison, since only by reaching the Nine-Turn stage could the Self-Poison possibly resist Azathoth's corruption.

Only in this way can we explain why he needed to use Fang Sheng, who was at the eighth level of cultivation, as material for refining Gu.

However, Fang Sheng, though using himself as the material for the Gu, is certainly not trying to refine a Nine-Turn Self-Gu.

Moreover, he simply couldn't refine it.

Nine-turn Gu worms are not so easy to refine.

By using himself as the material for the Gu, and with the added blessing of his mastery of the Humanity Supreme Grandmaster realm, Fang Sheng actually managed to refine an eighth-level Self-Gu.

However, once the Gu worm was refined, his physical body, which had undergone eight transformations and three tribulations, was ruined.

At this moment, as Fang Sheng was reduced to only a soul state, a hole was suddenly torn open in his cave.

Then, Fang Si walked in.

Seeing that only his soul remained, Fang Si smiled with relief.

"You have quite the nerve, actually daring to use yourself as a Gu poison material."

Unfortunately, it seems you'll be doing all the work for me from now on.

Hearing Fang Si's words, Fang Sheng smiled, and then, guided by his soul, he directly activated the cracked Eight-Turn Spring and Autumn Cicada.

"Whether it will succeed or fail, it's still hard to say."

After all, you've given me this second chance.

As Fang Sheng activated the Spring and Autumn Cicada, a strange light instantly enveloped his entire body.

At that moment, his remaining soul instantly turned into a pile of fragments that exploded out of thin air, and at that moment, time and space were frozen.

As time reverses, because Fang Si used Kronos, who possessed the [Time Thug] trait, as the main material when refining the Spring and Autumn Zen, as Fang Sheng expected, he could bring a type of Gu worm he had refined back to the previous timeline without any impact.

From then on, Fang Sheng directly transported his self-created Gu back to the time before he created the Gu.

As time returned to normal, Fang Sheng was instantly transported back to the moment he had just broken through the third tribulation.

At the same time, he also brought back the Self-Poison.

Meanwhile, on the other side, not only was Fang Si rushing this way, but Chaos was also driving a huge number of demonic beasts and countless main gods of the K-type, along with the Key of the Gate, to attack Great Xia.

Of course, while it's called the key to the door, it's really just the key to the fish brand door.

In order to stabilize Chaos, An Qingyu did not run away with Jiang Er directly, but instead disguised himself as the Key to the Gate and worked with Chaos for a period of time.

That's why the two of them came together today.

……

Shangjing City.

The Night Watch headquarters conference room.

The Night Watch headquarters conference room was no longer filled with only six high-ranking officers as before. Instead, it was filled with all the active Night Watch's top combatants, such as Chen Ge, Shao Pingge, Xia Simeng, Jinian, Yuan Gang, Wu Quan, Shen Qingzhu, and others.

After everyone had taken their seats, Lin Qiye, who was sitting in the main seat, slowly stood up, placed his hands on the conference table, and spoke to everyone in a deep voice.

"Gentlemen, the final battle has begun."

……

Within Fang Sheng's grotto.

After acquiring the Self-Poison Gu, Fang Sheng refined it in an instant. Then, he left the cave and waited quietly in the outside world.

Although the surroundings were still calm, even if Lin Qiye and the others weren't there, they could guess who he was waiting for.

Chapter 684 Seeing the Heart's Face.

As Fang Sheng began to wait, the space on the horizon cracked along with the promise.

After the space tore open, Fang Si slowly stepped out.

Fang Si smiled as he looked at Fang Sheng, who was expressionless in front of him.

"Looks like you've been waiting for me for quite a while?"

This time, Fang Sheng did not remain silent as usual, but nodded slightly to Fang Si.

"After all, it's the final battle, so it deserves some attention."

As Fang Sheng finished speaking, the gentle breeze that had been blowing in the air began to ripple, as if composing a battle song for the decisive battle between the two.

Hearing Fang Sheng's words, Fang Si surprisingly did not mock Fang Sheng as before, but sighed with some melancholy.

"I have been planning this for hundreds of millions of years to take this step."

You know what? I never had any hope that you could take this step. The only reason I helped you like this was because I'd run out of options... I... I don't have another chance to try.

Hearing Fang Si's sigh, Fang Sheng glanced at him.

"If you are truly so pessimistic, then it would be more convenient to dedicate yourself to providing a solid foundation for my path to enlightenment."

"Hahahaha." Upon hearing Fang Sheng's words, Fang Si immediately laughed. "You're quite pragmatic, but whether you have the ability to make me give up myself to help you refine Gu worms depends on your own capabilities."

If you are strong, I will naturally bow down to you; but if you are not strong, you should still bow down and beg for mercy.

"Come on, let me see just how powerful your self-created Gu, refined from the Spring and Autumn Cicada, truly is."

Fang Sheng did not reply to Fang Si, but instead waved his hand to awaken the numerous immortal Gu.

As numerous Gu worms within his cavern rose into the air, his aura began to change drastically.
