Chapter 3: White Radiance

  In the infinite void, there exist countless parallel universes, each of which is different from one another.

  However, now there is a white light that traverses the universe one by one, advancing continuously. It seems to have its own purpose, and every time it reaches a universe, it stops for a while, as if sensing something, but each time it seems to sense nothing, and then heads towards the next universe.

  In the universe where the Milky Way is located.

  That white light has traversed countless universes and arrived here.

  This time, it seemed to have sensed something and rushed straight towards the Milky Way.

  The speed of the white light has already exceeded any existing vocabulary, only knowing that it took less than a microsecond to arrive at Earth in the Milky Way from its descent into this universe.

  The white light that had plunged into the Earth's atmosphere slowed down and began to move around the Earth, as if it had determined its target, directly shooting towards Asia.

  ........

  The cold corpse of Yi Chi lay in that dark alley, perhaps people would find him after dawn, but for now he was destined to lie here first.

  In a daze, Yi Chi felt himself floating up, higher and higher. When he opened his eyes, he saw that his own corpse was lying on the cold ground.

  "It turns out that there really is a soul after death! I'm also considered a ghost now, right?" Yi Chi felt relieved now, anyway he's already dead, what else could happen to him? Moreover, the Tan family was also destroyed, although he didn't know why the Tan family was destroyed, but all of this wasn't what Yi Chi cared about, what he cared about was that the Tan family really was destroyed, he believed that Chi Hu wouldn't deceive him, who would deceive a dead person?

  "Well, looking at myself like this is really strange." Yi Chi floated above his own corpse, looking at his appearance, still with that weathered face, but the corners of his mouth were curled up in a smile, as if the last message had brought him comfort.

  "Haha, it wasn't a waste of death after all. At least I know that there's such a thing as a soul in this world!" Yi Chi smiled lightly. This life of his could be said to have been one of constant turmoil - the pressure of being a student, the struggles of starting a business after graduation... each and every one of them had left him feeling suffocated. But today, he was finally free.

  "Huh? What's that?" Yi Chi raised his head to look at the sky above, and he saw a white light flash by. Although it was very brief, he was certain that he had really seen it.

  "Could it be a shooting star?" Yi Chi speculated.

  "Ah! Here it comes again." This time, Yi Chi saw it clearly, to be precise, that white light beam flew directly towards him.

  "Don't come any closer, I'm already a ghost, do you want to kill me again?" Yi Chi looked at the white light rushing towards him and was also startled.

  "Whoosh"

  That white light did not hit his soul body as Yi Chi had guessed, but instead stopped in front of him.

  Suddenly.

  "Ah! Why is my corpse emitting this white light too?" Yi Chi exclaimed in surprise as he saw his own corpse also start to emit the white glow.

  "No, it's not my corpse! Ah, it's that dagger." Yi Chi took a closer look and found that it wasn't his own corpse emitting the glow, but rather the 500-yuan dagger he was holding in his right hand.

  "Could it be that I've struck gold?" Yi Chi wondered.

  He really didn't expect that the dagger he bought for 500 yuan would emit the same glow as this strange meteorite from outer space.

  "I've made a profit, I've made a profit! Who would have thought that I could still buy treasures? Alas, unfortunately, I'm already dead, and this treasure will probably go to the first person who discovers my corpse." Yi Chi was initially very excited, after all, he had only spent 500 yuan to buy a treasure, which was quite a stroke of luck. However, as soon as he thought about being dead, having treasures became meaningless, and his enthusiasm instantly waned.

  "Huh? It moved! The dagger is actually flying!" Yi Chi stared curiously at the floating dagger.

  Only to see that the dagger originally held by Yip's corpse was now floating towards the white light, slowly, the two merged together, and suddenly, the white light burst forth.

  "Wow! It's so dazzling! How can even a ghost be pained by the light?" Yi Chi covered his eyes, which were hurt by the light, and wondered.

  "It's an illusion, it must be an illusion. I should still be getting used to being a ghost, so my subconscious feelings are being pricked, yeah, that must be it." Yi Chi thought to himself, having just become a ghost not long ago.

  "When will this shine stop, it's so bright, but to be honest, it's quite beautiful. But how come nobody has discovered such a bright light? It's really strange, year after year, and especially many this year." Yi Chi became a soul after his death, as if he had let go of his heart, and started talking more, unlike before when he didn't have so many words.

  After a while, that dazzling light gradually weakened, and Yi Chi also timely put down the arm covering his eyes.

  "Eh, nothing's changed after all. I thought it would have transformed into something else." Yi Chi said disappointedly upon seeing that the white mang was still the same.

  As they spoke, the white mist suddenly began to move quickly, as if searching for something. It moved back and forth in front of the wild dog's and clumsy bear's corpses, seemingly dissatisfied, before finally stopping in front of Yi Chi's soul.

  "Eh, why does it feel like it's staring at me? Won't it annihilate me?" Yi Chi thought weakly, he was actually afraid that this white light would eliminate his soul body.

  It's strange to say, but Yi Chi still hasn't seen the souls of that stray dog and silly bear, nor does he know if they've left or haven't come out yet.

  Just as Yi Chi was thinking about whether the souls of the wild dogs and stupid bears had escaped, that white mang also didn't idle around, it began to revolve around Yi Chi's soul body.

  "Wah wah, don't! It hurts so much!" Yi Chi cried out loudly. As it turned out, with the rotation of that white light, Yi Chi's soul was slowly being torn apart bit by bit, and the torn-off soul was directly absorbed into the white light.

  "No way! Are you really going to annihilate me? That's too inhumane!" Yi Chi painfully tried to break out of the white light's encirclement, but his movements only accelerated the speed at which his soul was being torn apart.

  It won't be long before he is completely absorbed.

  The left charged and the right crashed, and the easy pool stopped completely.

  With a desperate look in his eyes, he took one last glance at this world, and then that last wisp of soul was also absorbed into the white light.

  "Farewell, my beloved hometown."

  Yi Chi's last bit of consciousness was quickly extinguished.

  "Drip, drip, drip... Analyzing life form..."

  "The living being is a soul energy body, urgently needs to find a substantial living body to enter."

  "In global analysis..."

  "This world is an original world, with no intermediate or advanced civilizations."

  "Filtering..."

  "The world is chosen, divine universe."

  "Detected host's nostalgia for this world, analyzing..."

  "Analysis complete, cosmic absorption imminent."

  "Drip... drip... drip... drip..., the universe devours."

  Only to see that the white light that absorbed Yī Chí's soul suddenly expanded infinitely, directly enveloping the entire universe.

  "Hmm."

  "Space-time absorption complete, transmission begins, target: Divine Realm Universe Plane."

  The white light that had expanded to infinity once again shrunk back to its original size, but the universe where Yi Chi was in had disappeared, probably just as the white light had said, it had been swallowed by it.

  A beam of unparalleled light shot out from the white glow, tearing apart the entire parallel universe and heading towards a certain supreme original universe.
