Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 309: Golden Retriever, Pterosaur, Hulk, and pectoral muscles

Su Yun stood under the Heavenly Gate, gazing at the demonic deity. The demonic deity's eyes were deep and he was staring at Qingyu Town. Suddenly, his gaze shifted towards the Heavenly Gate and met Su Yun's eyes.

He seemed to see Su Yun and revealed a ferocious expression. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed a large chunk of the town.

Seeing this, Su Yun was about to rush into the Heavenly Gate and enter the town, but suddenly he stopped and calmly watched as the demonic deity devoured Qingyu Town.

"Qingyu Town is a memory of my childhood. The people in the town are not real, but rather the townspeople in my memory. This demonic deity is also in my memory and he cannot devour my childhood memories, otherwise he will have no place to stand." He silently thought as he watched the scene.

The demonic deity swallowed Qingyu Town completely, leaving only the young Su Yun from his childhood. He grabbed the child and looked fiercely towards the Heavenly Gate.

"I know you're out there."

The demonic deity extended its forked tongue and licked the young Su Yun, laughing sinisterly. "I sensed your presence. If you don't release me, I will devour your childhood memories. You will never remember this period of time again, hehehe..."

Su Yun remained silent.

Suddenly, the child in the demonic deity's hand started crying loudly. A burst of light exploded from the child's forehead, causing the demonic deity to show a look of fear. Its body twisted and contorted, as if being pulled into noodles by the light of the runes, falling continuously towards the young Su Yun's forehead!

"Save me—"

The demonic deity's claws frantically scratched around, as if trying to grab onto a lifeline. However, it couldn't grab anything and screamed in despair, "I don't want to repeat this scene day after day! Let me out—"

"Whoosh!"

It was pulled into the young Su Yun's forehead and disappeared.

The young Su Yun floated behind the Heavenly Gate, and the dream reappeared. Qingyu Town appeared again behind the Heavenly Gate, exactly the same as before. The gigantic head of the demonic deity rose slowly from behind Qingyu Town, its eyes deep and observing everything in the town.

He was trapped in the memories of his childhood, repeating in a loop.

Outside the Heavenly Gate, Su Yun calmly watched this scene. He wanted to retrieve his memories, but if he regained his childhood memories, it would mean releasing the suppressed gods and demons within them.

When his memories were restored, it would probably be a time of great chaos in the world!

"Let the memories of my childhood remain sealed."

He withdrew his gaze and heard the laughter of his childhood self in his ears. Following the laughter, he saw a road extending from the Heavenly Gate, stretching into the darkness.

It was a country road, with the young Su Yun running along it, catching butterflies and playing in the river, full of joy.

"The demonic deity in this memory is not the divine being I'm looking for."

Su Yun followed his childhood self, walking on the winding country road in the darkness. Beside the road were the mountains and forests of Tian Shi Yuan, but for the young Su Yun, it was a dark corner of his memory.

Su Yun walked on this road, only able to see the vague mountains and forests.

Holding the horn of the Winged Dragon, he followed himself for an unknown amount of time, finally arriving at another Qingyu Town.

There was a crack under the Heavenly Gate of this Qingyu Town, and Su Yun's heart skipped a beat. "Has the seal been broken? Could it be that a god or demon is about to escape?"

He hurriedly entered the Heavenly Gate, but suddenly stopped and focused his attention on the Qingyu Town behind the Heavenly Gate. He saw that the order of life in Qingyu Town was intact, and his childhood self was playing with the other children in the town, full of joy.

After a while, everything in Qingyu Town repeated again. Obviously, this memory didn't last long. However, when the memory repeated, the suppressed gods and demons did not appear!

"They really escaped!"

Su Yun passed through the Heavenly Gate and entered Qingyu Town. It felt like he had entered his own memory, giving him a dreamlike feeling.

At this moment, he heard a voice in his ear, "I want to go back, the others are waiting to come up and play! How could you hurt him!"

Su Yun quickly looked up and followed the sound, only to see that from his current angle, he could actually see the sky of Qingyu Town. And everything happening outside the sky could also be seen.

He was stunned to see another version of himself beating a middle-aged man!

Su Yun's expression was blank. After a while, he saw the "other him" with three legs transform into a Three-legged Golden Crow and fight against the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man's swordsmanship was truly extraordinary, even if Su Yun wasn't well-versed in swordsmanship, he could tell that the man's swordsmanship had reached the level of the Immortal Sword Slaying the Dragon!

Su Yun had never seen someone achieve such a level of swordsmanship before!

"Could he be Yu Daoyuan, the Divine Sword, the Imperial Tutor of the Great Qin Empire? But why is he fighting with the Golden Crow? When did the Golden Crow escape?"

...

Su Yun waited silently, only to see Yu Daoyuan escaping, the Golden Crow building its nest, and the Imperial Palace turning into a sea of molten lava. After a while, the voice of the Golden Crow came from outside the sky, "Yes, yes, I'm fine... Don't rush me, I'll leave right away..."

A golden rainbow descended from the sky and entered the Heavenly Gate, drilling in through the crack.

The golden rainbow transformed into the Three-legged Golden Crow and arrived in Qingyu Town.

The Golden Crow flapped its wings and treated Qingyu Town as its nest, sitting down. At this moment, the Golden Crow noticed that there was an extra person in Qingyu Town. It blinked its large eyes and looked at Su Yun.

Su Yun raised the horn of the Winged Dragon.

The Golden Crow glanced at the horn in his hand with disdain, then stuck its beak into its feathers and pretended to sleep."Golden Crow, is it fun outside?" Su Yun asked hesitantly.

The Golden Crow, left with no choice, stopped pretending to sleep. It stretched out a leg, flapped a wing, yawned lazily, and said, "Don't keep waving that Winged Dragon's horn around. You'll get beaten up. The gods and demons that the Winged Dragon has offended are more than you can imagine. If you try to invite them with his horn, not a single one will come."

Su Yun quickly put away the horn of the Winged Dragon and pleaded, "Brother, the Winged Dragon is injured and will surely be pursued by enemies. This is the perfect time for Brother Golden Crow to turn the tide..."

"Having that idiot killed would be a blessing! Stop disturbing my sleep."

The Golden Crow spread its wings, enveloping itself, and sent Su Yun out of the heavenly gate, "Your tricks won't work on me. Seek help elsewhere."

Su Yun stood bewildered outside the heavenly gate, then suddenly realized, "This is my memory! You live in my memory, it's not too much to ask you to do something, right? You've been living here for seven years, you should at least pay some rent!"

"I was suppressed and forced in here! Why should I pay rent?" The Golden Crow squawked, burying its head in its feathers to sleep.

Su Yun was helpless. At this moment, he heard the singing of his younger self. The child's clear voice, the scattered lyrics, the words that didn't make sense, but there was a unique sense of joy.

Following the singing, Su Yun found another path in the darkness. It was a shimmering water surface, like a narrow path, leading to an unknown destination.

Little Su Yun stood on his parents' raft, going out to sea under the moonlight with them. The ocean in his memory was not vast, under the moonlight, there was only a shimmering waterway.

His parents stood on the raft, collecting their catch, as the small raft gradually drifted away along the waterway.

Around the raft, giant monsters from the North Sea appeared on the surface. The four or five-year-old child blinked his dark eyes curiously at these giant monsters swimming in the sea and flying above the surface.

The small raft seemed extremely tiny under the bodies of the giant monsters.

Su Yun followed this waterway, following the raft, watching everything in his memory, feeling both novelty and unfamiliarity.

"I also had a happy childhood." He smiled.

The raft gently drifted into a heavenly gate on the calm sea surface and disappeared. Behind the gate was another Qingyu Town.

This was the memory of four or five-year-old Su Yun. As Su Yun approached, he saw a shocking crack in the space in the middle of the heavenly gate. Behind the crack was a huge cage, the cage was a transparent wall of runes.

Glutton sat inside, rubbing his sharp teeth against the wall.

"Kid."

Glutton stuck out his tongue, licking the rune wall, trying to show a friendly smile. His mouth almost filled his entire face, his eyes squeezed into two caterpillars.

"Kid, are you here to ask for my help? As long as you stick the horn of the big-chested one on this wall, I will go out and help you..."

He excitedly licked the wall, then rubbed his teeth against it, giggling, "I can see it, kid, the big-chested one is injured, only I, only I can help you deal with the demons of the West Land! Let me out, I'll eat them! Don't worry, I won't eat you, I'll just lick you..."

After touring the small town and seeing his childhood life, Su Yun left contentedly.

Behind him came Glutton's angry curses, "Kid, if you don't let me out, I'll eat you! I'll eat your whole family! I'll even dig up your ancestors from their graves and eat them... I was wrong, I won't dare anymore, you're the boss, let me out..."

In the darkness, a small path led out of the mountain. This was the road up the mountain. Ahead was a woman, very sturdy, carrying a basket on her back.

Su Yun saw his two or three-year-old self standing in the basket, babbling incoherently, following his mother up the mountain to dig wild vegetables.

He followed them, his heart filled with peace. Unconsciously, he arrived at the end of the mountain road. Another heavenly gate appeared, and with it, another Qingyu Town from his childhood memories.

A Kylin deity lay under the heavenly gate, one paw supporting its chin, smiling and blinking, "Yes, yes, it's the golden-feathered dragon, him, we're old friends, we get along very well! Yes, yes... tell me again about how you knocked him out of the sky and made a big hole."

Su Yun patiently repeated the story. When he got to the part where the Winged Dragon pulled out his horn and handed it to him, the Kylin deity laughed so hard it rolled over.

After Su Yun finished, the deity lay back down under the heavenly gate, still supporting its chin with one paw, its smile even wider, "Yes, yes, we're good friends. Yes, everything you said is correct... You just said he was seriously injured and stuffed into his own altar to be refined to death, tell me that story again."

It laughed so hard it pounded the ground, its eyes spraying tears like two little fountains, "These two stories, I could listen to them a hundred times and not get tired!"

Su Yun left the ungrateful Qingyu Town with a dark face, heading towards the next Qingyu Town.

"Winged Dragon? The muscle dragon with a head full of tendons? Of course, we're good buddies, of course, I won't save him if he's dying... I said I won't save him if he's dying, not that I won't save him if I see him dying! He must be dying because he's a jerk, of course, I won't save him..."

"Stupid big dragon, my good brother... He's about to die? Hahaha, heaven has eyes!"

"Winged Dragon? He's a senior, I've heard of him for a long time... Save him? No way! His divine quality is not good!"

"Save the stupid big one? Am I stupid? I was the one he beat up and suppressed... Kid, don't run, kid!""Brother Yun, do you still recognize me? It's me, Little Liu, we've talked before! I've even ridden on your back and helped you in fights! Brother Yun, don't leave!"

...

As Su Yun journeyed on, he encountered more and more seals in Qingyu Town, and saw more and more gods and demons. However, his heart became increasingly confused and heavy.

"Just how much has Winged Dragon offended people, how many gods and demons has he provoked?"

Su Yun sat under a heavenly gate, leaning against the door in a daze, "Just his nicknames alone, there are dozens of them without any repetition, old bastard, bird dragon, dumbass, big chest muscle, golden hair, muscle dragon, stupid big dragon... Are these the nicknames a good dragon god should have?"

His eyes were lifeless, his face haggard, "You say you have a big face, I think so too. But why does everyone burst into laughter whenever I mention that you're seriously injured and need protection..."

Su Yun gathered his spirits, stood up, and whispered, "I can't delay any longer, my physical body has been empty for two or three days. If I delay any longer, I'm afraid another spirit will be born! If Jade Frost Cloud tampers with my physical body, it would be disastrous... No matter what, I must find someone who can protect Winged Dragon today! If I can't find anyone..."

He pursed his lips, "I must return to my physical body, worst comes to worst, I'll return to Yuan Shuo, return to Tian Shi Yuan!"

He said fiercely, "In my lair, there are countless brothers, any demon god must lie down like a worm!"
