Chapter 286 Backtracking
This trick was used when he defeated Shang Liyu, who had transformed into a deity, in Jincheng City, and successfully helped Anti defeat the True Spirit Fire Lord in terms of firepower.

But the controllability is actually not very high. Initially, the power of the Ash Flame was used as the thrust to condense the darkness of the abyss into a ball and forcibly hit it out.

After Anti became familiar with the Ash Flame Attachment, he no longer had to use the power of the Abyss to output. At that time, it was just to better restrain the Fire Wanderer.

And now, after gaining the ability to wander in the abyss, Anti just discovered an interesting place.

Originally, when he played the Abyss Dark Bomb, he would feel very uncomfortable if the awakened abyss was forcibly compressed, which deepened the uncontrollability.

But now that he can wander into the abyss, the abyss will react a beat slower to him.

It's similar to when Anti was compressing the explosive bomb, as long as his hand speed was fast...

The abyss will be attracted by Anti's actions with a look of curiosity. They will not react immediately when they are restricted, and then they will be shrunk into a ball unexpectedly, and then they will be hit by a home run. The unhappiness they feel after reacting will all turn into fuel for the bomb explosion.

It's perfect.

Fresh abyss matter is generally not that smart. According to Anti's unfounded calculations, the same group of abyss will learn its lesson and stop playing with him after being beaten out by him at least three times.

The fragmented consciousnesses in the abyss do not have particularly strong interactivity. If this batch of abyss babies stops playing, the next batch of curious abyss babies will naturally come and be hit like balls by Anti.

Very good abyss, makes the Antioch hammer spin.

Under Anti's fierce bombardment, the surrounding abysses could not be effectively gathered, and all turned into mud on the ground like a pool of stagnant water.

Kesais did not continue to watch the show. After he recovered, he directly mobilized his strength and pointed the dagger towards the sky.

She called forth a mighty rain that spread across the city-state, bringing an end to the battle and cleansing the remaining remnants of the Abyss.

They patrolled the city-state carefully to make sure that no fish in the abyss had escaped.

Fortunately, a few survivors were found, among them a mother and a girl who were hiding in a high tower of a building. They were lucky enough not to be contaminated by the abyss.

Kesais stared at the mother and daughter for a long time, then stepped forward to heal their wounds.

The abyss here has been suppressed. As long as there is no long-term drought in the future and there is running water flowing through the seal nearby, the seal can be maintained.

Those who survived can start over here.

……

"It feels like a dream." When saying goodbye, Xuses suddenly spoke with a hazy look in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Anti asked with his head tilted.

Kesais shook his head gently. "Nothing, just some inexplicable emotions... There are still many abysses that need to be cut off, but just now I had the illusion that my mission has come to an end. It's a bit ridiculous."

Anti was silent, while Xie Jinghong said, "It's really ridiculous. You still have a long way to go in your mission."

Kesais couldn't help but laugh.

This was the first time everyone saw Kesais smile. Before that, she always had a stern face and never smiled.

Iris glanced at the white mist pouring out not far behind him and said, "It's time to go."

"Well, it's nice to meet you. It's time to say goodbye." Anti said.

Kesais nodded slightly, and looked at Xie Jinghong on Anti's shoulder: "Come on, your mission is also very long."

Xie Jinghong gently waved his claws in response.

Kesais turned and left, disappearing into the forest in a few flashes.

Anti and the others also turned around and walked towards the thick fog ahead.

"How is it? Are you confident that you can win?" An Ti suddenly asked Xie Jinghong.

Lin Jinghong was desperate and had to give up. Even though he survived the immediate mental breakdown with Lindsay's support and his own will, his self-esteem did not improve, but instead further declined.

He just left the risk to others, to Anti, for the sake of his brother's survival. This was not wise, nor perfect, but rather very ugly.

Now that he knew that Anti was trying hard to save him, he naturally didn't want to let down this kindness, nor did he want to die, but... given his temperament, being directly decomposed by the abyss would be a better ending.

At least dying in glory won't cause trouble to others.

Just as Kesais said, survivors always ask themselves: Why did I survive?

So in the dream, Lin Jinghong followed An Ti and went with the flow. If he could survive, he would survive. If he couldn’t, it didn’t matter. He didn’t have such a strong desire to struggle to survive.

Anti saw it, but did not take the initiative to explain it. He was not good at this kind of thing. And Anti would definitely save Lin Jinghong, so it didn't matter what Lin Jinghong thought of Anti.

No matter how many nice words you say, they will seem pale and powerless. Firm actions are much more effective.

Whether the knot in your heart can be untied is something you can only consider if you are alive. When you die, there will be nothing.

However, if he had a little more hard work, his work might have been easier.

Fortunately, the seniors with quiet eyes have given new vitality to this crab, which was so self-deprecating and autistic that it was stuck in its shell, through their words and actions.

"What are you talking about? I have always been very confident. Even if I don't have confidence in myself, would I not have confidence in you?" Xie Jinghong said, gently pulling Anti's earlobe with his pincers.

Ignoring Crab Jinghong's stubbornness, Anti flicked his finger at the crab that was pulling his ear, almost flicking it off his shoulder. Elise smiled slightly, but it soon disappeared. The two and the crab disappeared in the thick fog.

……

This dream lasted for a long time.

Whether it is the still eyes, Lindsay, or the abyss in Lindsay, they are all the existence of a long period of time, so it is not surprising that the dream mixed with these things is so long.

Time continues to go backwards, like water flowing backwards.

Anti and his companions met one owner of Jingshui Eyes after another in their dreams. Some of them left traces in history and were recorded in the materials that Anti had seen.

Others remain unknown, supporting and fighting against the abyss alone.

They have very different personalities, some are as gentle as Doton, while others are even colder than Bixus. When they see Antio displaying the power of the abyss, they will accidentally have some misunderstandings.

Even though not everything in between was pleasant, when the abyss appeared, they all had to do the same thing.

We met again and again, fought side by side again and again, and parted again and again.

This was the longest dream Anti had ever entered. Even though he and Iris moved quickly enough, the abyss still resisted stubbornly.

So he simply stopped being so anxious and just treated it as a continued vacation and went out for an outing, making up for the interrupted trip in his dreams.

It may sound a bit pitiful, but Anti still enjoys it.

They also saw different eras of the past in the Dream World along the way.

Wandering in troubled times, late, middle, early, people struggling in troubled times.

The era of the twin miracles, the collapse, the heyday, the construction period, the people who worked hard for the new human era.

In the era of the war between humans and beasts, in a corner of the war, somewhere in the unknown history, in order to fight against the abyss, humans and beasts once again united as a front.

Not every owner of still eyes has a happy ending.

Just like Kesais in the official history, most of the owners of the Eyes of Still Water died on the road to conquering the abyss. In the process of continuous contact with the abyss, even they were inevitably contaminated by the abyss.

At first, he was able to hold on by relying on his eyes, but as time went by, the erosion deepened, his body could not bear the burden, his mind gradually became confused, and he turned into Lindsay in the end.

An Ti and Lin Jinghong have seen off many people with Jingshui Eyes who have entered this period.

There were even a few dreams where the abyss they had to fight against was the same abyss attached to those predecessors.

Initially, it was basically An Ti who cut the Gordian knot, but after a dream, Lin Jinghong said that he would be responsible for dealing the final blow to his predecessors.

Anti had no objection.

In this dream, they went back in time and witnessed a road against the abyss paved by a group of great people spanning a long history with their sweat, blood, life, ideals... and their eyes.

To this day, the abyss is still like an uncertain legend in the dream world, unknown to the public and far less feared than the wandering gods.

Just because of the care of these predecessors.

However, as time went on, Anti felt that it was about time.

As time goes on, Lindsay's era is getting closer.

No matter how long it is, no matter how real it is, it is just a dream.

Everything is like a passing cloud, and is gradually coming to the end of this long journey.

Anti and his party passed through the thick fog again.

What appeared in front was no longer land, but a vast ocean.

They stood on the calm sea without sinking, and the sea breeze blew on their faces, but did not create any waves on the sea.

The sky was a beautiful night sky, with stars shining and a full moon hanging high. Anti felt the gaze from those stars. Those stars that stared at Jingshui's eyes had also been watching for a long time.

Anti lowered his head and looked straight ahead.

There, a pair of bare feet stepped on the sea, and a woman in a dark blue dress stood quietly with her back to them.

They approached slowly, and the other party turned slowly.

The eyes that bloom with infinite purple are the most sparkling and beautiful among all the still water eyes, precisely because that is their source.

Familiar people, unfamiliar looks, stunningly beautiful, this beautiful ocean and night sky became her embellishment.

Looking at Anti and the others, she smiled sweetly.

[“The First Water Miracle”, Lindsay: One of the miracle heroes who gained the power of water for mankind in the Pillar God Era. Half of her life was dedicated to mankind, and the other half was dedicated to the ocean. She spent her entire life for the sake of countless lives, and her eyes were never tainted.]

The red lips parted slightly, and Lindsay's original clear and soft voice uttered:
“I didn’t expect that at the last moment, I could still have such a beautiful dream?”
