Chapter 582: Siming
Shai Zi said, “Your head really isn't there! If you don’t believe me, try and touch your head!”Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m
Li Huowang couldn’t care less about Shai Zi's tempting words. He looked up at the sky and roared, “You want me to become your Twisted One, huh?! Fat chance! Since I'm the coveted one, then I can just find someone else! Why do I have to settle with you all?!”
“I am Li Huowang!” Li Huowang shouted, pointing fiercely at the sky. “I am destined to become the Siming! The future Li Huowang is destined to come and help me right now!”
Li Huowang immediately felt the rapid depletion of his primordial breath, and it was all because he was currently cultivating his future Siming self. Since Doulao was backing him up, why not take a bigger risk? He was risking his life, anyway.
Shai Zi looked bewildered. He had no idea what Li Huowang was up to.
“What nonsense are you spouting, Hong Zhong?! Have you gone crazy?”
Li Huowang could feel his memories as a Hong Zhong rapidly eroding his own memories, but it seemed that Doulao didn’t want to sit idly by.
Unfortunately, his wounds from the past manifested all over him, and his flesh split open. The extreme pain made Li Huowang stagger backward. He could feel his mental and physical self splitting apart. He felt like he was on the verge of death.
However, this torture was what stoked the flames of perseverance in Li Huowang's heart. He decided to persevere with his belief. His method had to be incredibly effective. Otherwise, why were they trying so hard to stop him?
After an unknown amount of time, he came to his senses, and he found himself in a vast white expanse. Feeling confused, Li Huowang looked around and saw the Chief walking up to him to help him up.
“Li Huowang, are you sure you want to go down this path? You've already gotten involved with the "effect" of the Siming, but it doesn't mean that you have to become one.”
It didn't matter to Li Huowang whether the Chief was real. He just replied, “Do I even have a choice? If I don’t go down this path, am I supposed to become Doulao and Ba-Hui’s puppet?”
“Anyway, do you know anything about my future self? Am I powerful? Which Siming will I command?”
“Bewilderment,” the Chief answered.
“Oh? Are you saying that I will be able to use the ‘Truth’ and ‘Lies’ like Doulao along with 'Bewilderment'?” Li Huowang asked curiously.
“Yes, but the bewilderment in your heart will become even deeper the stronger you become. Those two are mutually reinforcing, after all," the Chief explained. Then, he sounded serious as he said, “Let me ask you once more. Are you sure you want to go down this path?
"If you go down this path, everything you care about might become illusions. And what you once thought were mere illusions might become real.”
“Hehe, you speak as if I have a clear understanding of everything right now,” Li Huowang replied in a self-deprecating manner.
The Chief nodded lightly at that and took off his red robes, revealing a white robe underneath. It was Yi Donglai's white robe.
“Li Huowang? Li Huowang?” Yi Donglai asked, snapping his fingers in front of the young man while holding a ballpoint pen in his other hand.
The scenery peeled back before Li Huowang, and Yi Donglai transformed into the Chief wearing the red Daoist robes. Li Huowang found himself standing in the middle of a battlefield thick with the smell of blood.
After just a second, the Chief's towering figure shrank as he became Yi Donglai again. The scent in the air changed from the smell of blood into the smell of hospital disinfectant.
“Li Huowang, are you sure you haven't forgotten what you have to do?” Yi Donglai asked, bringing Li Huowang back to his senses.
Li Huowang looked around and saw a spiral iron slide in the ward. The iron slide was long, and it almost reached the ceiling. Li Huowang lifted the covers and walked slowly toward the spiral slide under Yi Donglai’s watchful gaze.
The spiral slide became the Dragon Vein in Li Huowang's eyes. Then just as Gao Zhijian was about to fly away, the Dragon Vein became a spiral slide once again. Li Huowang scratched his head and dragged his feeble body up the slide. He was so weak that such a simple task proved exceptionally difficult for him. There were even times when he lost his grip and slid back down.
When Sun Xiaoqin saw what was going on, she had the urge to charge at Li Huowan and help him up the spiral slide.
However, her husband held her back firmly, saying, “Doctor Yi is in the middle of giving hypnotherapy for our son! You can't go in and disrupt the session. Just believe in Doctor Yi's words!"
Li Huowang heard his father's words and glanced at his parents. His mother transformed into the soldiers, while his father became Bai Lingmiao, who stood bravely in the soldier's way.
Eventually, Li Huowang made it to the top of the slide, but he found nothing there. Moments later, he looked up and saw a round energy-saving light fixture hanging from the ceiling. Li Huowang half squatted on the slide, and then he reached out to unscrew the cover of the energy-saving light.
“This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I've become the Dragon Vein, and I will remain real wherever I am! You cannot control me!” Gao Zhijian roared, his voice carrying a strong protest and unwillingness.
Is this true? Or is this fake? Li Huowang thought.
His eyes revealed his confusion. He was having trouble distinguishing what was real.
Li Huowang finally removed the cover of the energy-saving light fixture, and he pulled out an eighteen-sided die. He placed the cover back on and looked down at the die in his hand.
A smile blossomed on his face.
Yi Donglai approached Li Huowang from the other side of the slide. He reached out and took the eighteen-sided die from Li Huowang’s hand, placing it into the pocket of his white coat.
“Let’s go down," Yi Donglai said.
He supported Li Huowang down the steps before bringing him back to the bed in the ward.
Yi Donglai enquired, “How do you feel about this treatment?”
Li Huowang turned and saw Gao Zhijian standing in the distance, scratching his head with a puzzled look.
Shaking his head in confusion, Li Huowang responded, “I can’t say for sure, but it seems like the issue has been resolved, at least for the time being.”
“Brother Li, did we manage to save the Great Qi?!” Zhuge Yuan asked loudly as his figure dissipated slowly.
“I guess my illness can be considered cured now.”
Zhuge Yuan revealed a look of relief before disappearing into thin air.
“How are you feeling?” Yi Donglai asked.
“I-I… I feel like both sides are starting to overlap,” Li Huowang said, looking down at his bony hands in confusion.
“Well, that is not strange at all," Yi Donglai remarked. "It means that my treatment method is effective. Anyway, remember to take your medicine on time; the medicine will allow you to rapidly recover to full health."
Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open. A group of doctors rushed in, and they stared in awe at Li Huowang.
Sun Xiaoqin pushed them aside and burst into tears of joy.
“My son, you’re cured! Goodness, your illness is finally cured!!”
