Feng Ying's
118 - World Gatekeeper

"Well.. If I'm really Ying, your friend.. Then what are you gonna do? Killed me?" Feng Ying still put on her smile.

Wang Chen took a breath and looked at Feng Ying intently, "If that is really you.. If only.. You'll kill the people I love, then I'll choose to protect my family."

Feng Ying tilted her head with a smile still plastered on her face, "Is that what it means.. You're gonna kill me, if I'm gonna kill everyone you love?"

"No!" firmly Wang Chen. "I'll.. Save you from the darkness, to protect you and my family!"

Wang Chen's words were so firm, as if no one could refute his words.

Feng Ying smiled. He suddenly faded, "Alright.. If that's what you choose." He disappeared after saying that.

Wang Chen looked around. There was no presence of Feng Ying at all at this moment. The place around him also now turned into a vast meadow with a beautiful starry night sky. The corpse and puddle of blood had instantly disappeared replaced with the gentleness of the wind that hit his body. The hand of Wang Chen who had originally stayed one, had now suddenly reappeared and it successfully made Wang Chen startled back.

"You passed the test of determination I made for you."

Wang Chen turned around when he heard the voice of someone very foreign. He saw a young man in red clothes looking at him with a smile. "W-who are you?"

"I? Hm.. I am the guardian spirit of this dimensional gate. I give a test of fortitude to everyone who enters the portal and I will allow them to enter if they can pass this test. You're one of them." Said the young man.

"Test of determination? Mean.. Was it an illusion? And this place is also an illusion? So where am I really?" confused Wang Chen.

"Usually I bring people to a place of illusion. But you are different. This place is not an illusion that I created, but it is a dimension that I created specifically to test you. While the person you were with was, it was an illusion. But it's not entirely an illusion."

"Not fully illusory? Meanin?" wang Chen was confused by the words of the young man in front of him.

"My ability is not only able to create powerful illusionary moves. But it can also create small dimensions and see one's future. So I know what will happen in the future. Even so, I can't say it clearly to anyone. You saw for yourself, how it looked. You must know him." Obviously the young man, he smiled.

"Y-Yin.. M-deally.. What's wrong with her?"

"The person who choked your mother's neck earlier was her, the person you mentioned by name. It was his appearance when he was 25 years old and it was at that age that he would make a mess in the world."

Wang Chen was surprised to hear the young man's words. She said angrily, "There's no way Ying will do it! Don't try to trick me again! Because I won't be fooled by you!"

The young man shook his head and felt that Wang Chen was too stupid. "Didn't you see his eyes? Red eye iris.. Zhang Family.. He will be the cause of the chaos of the world. Don't you know about the prophecy? The light present would create disaster when it was lost. 'Red lightning will come in the dark and destroy the world one day.' Do you remember now? The red lightning was interpreted as the Zhang family's eyes!"

Wang Chen was silent hearing that remark. He also did realize just now that Feng Ying's eyes were those of the Zhang family.

"..If you keep letting him live, then the world will be really messed up and you'll be the one to blame for all this. Because you kept him alive, even though he knew 'he' was the one in the prophecy." The young man said seriously.

"So you mean.. I have to kill him?" Said Wang Chen expressionlessly.

Wang Chen smiled obliquely, "You think I'll kill him, after I've already known his identity and the future that you said it was?"

The youth who was the world gate spirit fell silent. He looked at Wang Chen's handsome face seriously.

"Heh, didn't you say that you were testing the firmness of my heart? Now then, have you forgotten what I said? Those words are the firmness of my heart to protect her and also protect my family!"

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"I'll.. Save you from the darkness, to protect you and my family!"

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"..So why would I kill him? You also know that I have made up my own resolve and my own heart. I definitely.. Can do it." Wang Chen continued with a serious expression.

The dimensional gatekeeper spirit smiled obliquely, "Heh.. It turns out you really decided it. Looks like you know too.. If he was Zhang's family after seeing the illusion I did. So you said you'd 'save him out of the dark'."

Wang Chen smiled faintly, "You're right.. Therefore, I will be the 'light' said in the prophecy. But.. I will not leave him as the prophecy says. I will be the light that shines on him and saves him from the darkness."

The gatekeeper of the dimension was flat-expressed, "You know.. What the hell are you saying? You're not kidding, are you?"

"I'm serious!" Wang Chen gave a solemn expression, "Then from that, I will strive to become even stronger, in order to be able to stand beside Ying and be with her! And because of that, I won't leave her."

The world gatekeeper closed his eyes for a moment. It was free to tell Wang Chen about any problems or chaos that would occur in the future. Because the young man seemed unconcerned about his words to kill Feng Ying. "The stone of the phoenix gem was in such a deep and dark lake. Even if you've taken him out, you can't break it. Because the phoenix gemstone is a stone that is so hard, hard to break and hard for you to change its shape. Unless you burn it and warm it with phoenix fire, then the phoenix gemstone will break and give off its power."

The world gatekeeper turned his back to Wang Chen. "You should know what's going on with the future.. And you should remember your purpose of 'coming back'."

Wang Chen frowned in surprise. What does it mean by the word 'come back'?

"Whatchu mean? And what does the phoenix gemstone mean?" Ask Wang Chen.

"I can't tell you more about the future. Therefore, I just left that word for you. You have to understand what I mean. Now that you pass the test I gave you, you can enter the gates of the world."

Wang Chen was silent looking at the guard's back. He said, "What about Ying and Wang Feng? Will I see them again?"

"The tiger of the moon will part with you and you will not be able to meet him at the gate of the world. But for your friend, he'll be with you." The world gatekeeper chuckled softly, "He is so empty, even I cannot test his heart. He truly deserves to be called the Destruction of the world."

Wang Chen tilted his head in astonishment at what the world gatekeeper said. When he was about to speak, there was a dazzling light under his feet and made Wang Chan forced to close his eyes because of the glare. "Maybe next time we can meet again you'll be inside the gates of the world after this. Be careful, 'cause that place is very dangerous." Said the world gatekeeper without staring at Wang Chen.

Wang Chen nodded when he heard that remark. He slowly disappeared into the light.
