Eighteen years ago, Sword Immortal Taiyi set off from the "Narwhal Cape", which is the most eastern part of the Western Continent, and flew eastward, trying to fly over the vast ocean known as the "Endless Sea" and head to the distant Eastern Continent.

Before leaving, Panda and others went to the beach to see her off. At that time, Liu Daoqing, who valued her most highly, once asked her how long it would take to arrive. She said lightly: "If it is fast, it will take a few months, if it is slow, it will take a year and a half. No matter how slow it is, it is estimated that three to five years will be enough."

However, this time, she has been gone for eighteen years.

For the first year or two, everyone thought that she should be able to find Dongtu easily. But when she fell into the depths of the endless sea like a labyrinth, and even the system map couldn't help, as the days passed, everyone's confidence in her gradually decreased.

Later, even more than once, someone persuaded her to give up and simply commit suicide and go back to the city.

Anyway, the fleet of the East will come sooner or later, so why bother walking alone on the vast ocean?

But too easy to give up.

"I have spent so many years. If I give up now, wouldn't my previous achievements be forfeited!" she said, "No matter what, I will persevere to the end. Dongtu is just ahead, whether it is ten years, twenty years or Longer, I keep flying down, and sooner or later I will arrive!"

No one can imagine her stubbornness.

Wang Tuhao has analyzed that she thinks that her sunk cost is too high to accept failure - it is like some wrong decision in business or politics. At first glance, it seems to be mentally retarded. To completely deny the previous investment and persistence, the cost is so great that it is often difficult for those powerful figures to accept.

"The bigger the event is, the more tolerant it is to go in the wrong direction. If you start wrong at the beginning, you can often only make one mistake in the end. Because even the boss who takes the lead can't stand the loss of 'total denial'." In the end, Wang Tuhao concluded, "Taiyi is like this now. If she comes back now, she will not only deny her original plan, but also deny the hard work of these years. She can't pay the price."

Is it too easy to pay the price? no one knows. Maybe someone asked her about it privately, but how did she answer... At least Panda didn't see it in the chat channel, and didn't hear anyone mention it in private.

As far as he knows, in recent years, Taiyi has less and less contact with everyone. Even, except that everyone took the initiative to contact her, she hadn't contacted everyone for a long time.

This made everyone worried about her. The transmigrator has an immortal body, but an immortal body does not mean an unshakable will like steel. Long periods of loneliness are scary enough to drive people mad. And the pressure of failure is more like the sword chosen on the top of the head, making people restless.

Panda didn't understand why Taiyi was still insisting, but he was sure that Taiyi's current situation must be very bad.

He once tried to help Taiyi, the way is to go to heaven, and then from heaven to the world, directly to Taiyi's vicinity-even if he can't persuade her to change her mind, bring some condolences, chat with her face to face for a while, and fly with her. Two or three days, it's still alright.

However, Taiyi's position seems to be very special, not to mention Heaven's regular search method, and even Raphael, the chief inspector of Heaven's inspection, could not find her position.

If you can't locate it, you can't go there, and the panda's plan can only fail.

But now, Taiyi actually took the initiative to contact Sanyu, and two news came!

Although these two news are good and bad, Taiyi's willingness to contact you again is good news in itself!

The chat channel was full of joy, and everyone repeated the panda's remarks just now that "it is good news in itself".

After some celebrations, Sanyu, who had been silent just now, began to speak.

"See what everyone means, I'll tell you the good news first." He said, "It's too easy to reach the East."

"It's great!" Liu Daoqing said excitedly, "What's going on in Dongtu now? Could it be that the war is still going on? This really looks like bad news..."

"It shouldn't be, we have already passed through the seventieth year. According to the time in the game, even if it is the seventh year now, the turbulent times of the Later Tang Dynasty should have ended in Dongtu, and the Ming Dynasty should have begun..." Feng Huang, who was also from the Eastern Land, said, "If it's still fighting... Could something go wrong?"

Everyone was talking, but Sanyu was silent again.

After a while, everyone realized that they had digressed again and asked Sanyu to tell the bad news.

The three remained silent.

"What's wrong?" Panda asked. "What is the bad news that makes you hesitate?"

At this moment, in the chat channel, an ID that had disappeared for many years appeared.

[Jianxian Taiyi: Let me announce it myself. The bad news is that Dongtu is over, it's all over, there is no Dongtu left. 】

There was silence in the chat channel.

A few seconds later, Liu Daoqing, who rushed back to the hall of the guild castle, grabbed Taiyi with a tired face and asked loudly, "What did you say?! What is 'no Eastland'? Please explain it to me clearly!"

Because he committed suicide and returned to the city, Tai Yi was still weak and exhausted. Being grabbed by his shoulders and shaking it around, he was like a big rag doll, with no resistance.

Fortunately, others in the hall stopped Liu Daoqing and rescued Tai Yi.

Because Laisha said in the chat channel, "Liu Daoqing and Taiyi fought in the hall", so except for those in the small world who couldn't see the chat channel, almost all the others hurried back to the castle. Usually the empty hall is full of people, and it even seems a little crowded.

With so many people gathered together, it is of course impossible not to say anything. Everyone was talking and messing around, and the whole hall was suddenly noisy, just like a vegetable market in the morning.

"Stop making trouble! Let's get down to business!" Panda rushed to the front and roared to silence everyone.

Then, in the silence, he looked at Tai Yi.

"What's going on? Can you tell us more about it?"

Tai Yi sighed, a helpless wry smile appeared on his tired face.

"As I said just now, the Eastern Land is finished, completely finished. I flew across the endless ocean, and what I saw was not the Eastern Land, but a frozen, broken void. In the void, there are also some broken land fragments floating, but no mountains or water can be seen, let alone flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects, fish... and even people. These fragments floating in the void are all one piece. Gray and lifeless."

She paused and closed her eyes: "I wanted to get close to the frozen void, and was stopped by an invisible force. A will told me everything that happened in the East. I will take this experience from memory. Extract it from it, wait for tomorrow, and see for yourself."

With that, she turned around and walked staggeringly towards the dormitory upstairs.

"I'm very tired, now let me go to rest first."
