Chapter 399 The Way of the Heavenly Emperor - The Divine Gate and Heavenly Barrier (33)

"Invading and influencing the main body through shadow..."

Is this some kind of curse?

He gazed at the constantly twisting and changing shadow beneath the feet of the Hook Star corpse.

Xi Luo could clearly see that the Shadow Fiend Dharma Image originating from Li Boyang was deconstructing and replicating the [Ape Mask] until it became exactly the same as Huo Ji's Shadow Fiend Dharma Image.

"It's not a curse, and there's no need for it."

Li Boyang calmly snapped his fingers, and the Shadow Demon Dharma Image wearing the [Ape Mask] obediently squatted down.

"That curse possesses the supernatural power of the Guhuoniao to avoid misfortune and bring good fortune, and it is extremely adaptable to things like 'curses'."

"So instead of wasting time cursing him, it's better to find out what happened to Hook Star."

It was as if this was confirming Li Boyang's words.

The shadowy avatar opposite suddenly twisted and changed again, eventually transforming back into the shadow of Hook Star.

However, unlike before, with the return of the shadow.

The "Hook Star" actually opened its eyes again, as if it had come back to life.

"what have you done?"

This time, it wasn't Xi Luo who asked the question, but Qing Niao, who was equally shocked.

Even now, Gou Xing's body is lifeless, as if he were a puppet being manipulated.

Only those eyes, seemingly reflecting the heavens and stars, gave off an exceptionally terrifying feeling.

"Didn't I say that?"

"To learn about what happened to this daughter of the Heavenly Emperor."

Li Boyang snapped his fingers again and said this.

The next moment, countless scenes were reflected in the pupils of that "hook star".

“A healthy corpse and a complete brain can reveal far more information than you can imagine.”

"Not to mention, I also seized her shadow that was controlled by the Curse..."

"Perhaps what we can see is not only the past of the Heavenly Emperor's daughter, but also some things that happened to Huo Ji and even Huai Huo Dragon Girl."

Having no doubt about Li Boyang's abilities, Xi Luo blinked her eyes with considerable curiosity.

"So how should we find out now? Should we use your telepathy?"

"Or have you created some new supernatural power?"

Xi Luo stared intently at Li Boyang's every move, seemingly trying to uncover something fishy.

However, Li Boyang simply waved his sleeve calmly, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed.

It's like time has reversed...

Or perhaps it was just a simple illusion...

In a short while, the previously dilapidated Hook Star Palace was restored to its original state.

Then came the White Jade City, which had become ruins, and finally even the entire Heavenly Emperor's Capital returned to its most glorious period.

The once quiet capital of the Heavenly Emperor began to become lively and noisy.

The sounds of the heavens and earth mingled with the clamor of the gods, leaving Xi Luo and Qing Niao dumbfounded.

"Welcome to Hookstar's 'Memory Palace'."

"Next, we will experience her life from the perspective of this daughter of the Heavenly Emperor."

"No, to be more precise, we are now entering the perspective of the Curse, the life of the Hook Star as seen by the Curse."

As Li Boyang spoke calmly, the surrounding scenery changed once again.

The Hook Star Palace began to disappear, and in its place appeared a graceful and kind-faced woman gently stroking her belly.

Inside that woman's belly, a newborn god was being conceived, and it already possessed the consciousness to explore the outside world.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

More than ten thousand years ago, Lingxi, the most dazzling star goddess in the sky, admired Haojun immensely. So even at the risk of her life, she was willing to bear a child for Haojun.

This child is Gou Xing, a goddess who possesses the power of both the sun and the stars.

The year Gou Xing was born, Hao Jun restrained his divine power for the first time.

Let the eternal night hang high in the sky, and let the Milky Way pierce through the firmament.

That was a year of polar night, and also a blessing from Haojun to his youngest daughter.

Born under the eternal night and having consumed the herb of immortality, almost no one can kill Hook Star under the night sky.

Until Haojun angrily destroyed the Tongtian Jianmu tree, and then ordered the ten suns to scorch the earth.

That was the first time that Gou Xing, who had been pampered since childhood, had seen his father, the god, so angry.

Especially the death threat hidden beneath this anger.

For the first time in his life, Lingouxing became aware of the fear that death brought.

Hook Star was afraid of death; she did not want to die under the wrath of her father.

So she secretly fled the capital of the Heavenly Emperor and went to the mortal realm to find a way to make herself never die.

As Hao Jun's most beloved daughter, Gou Xing was never just a pretty face, but a goddess with enough ambition and ability.

Whether you say they arrive at the same goal through different paths, or that they coincidentally agree, it doesn't matter.

When Haojun was teaching his daughter, he once mentioned the concept of "divine gate and heavenly barrier".

That is, a god wants to become a great god.

One must knock on the gates of the gods and cross the heavenly barriers to achieve unparalleled status for all time.

The Divine Gate is the starting point, and the Heavenly Gate is the end point.

Only by being the first to knock on the door that transcends the gods can one be qualified to pursue the path of the Great God.

Because the whole theory is too complicated, and it is only a summary of Hao Jun's own experience.

Therefore, Gou Xing only remembered that there were two levels of the Divine Gate, each corresponding to a different Great Heavenly God Path.

One is the body gate; once it is opened, the physical body will not perish.

The other is the Soul Gate; once opened, the soul becomes immortal.

Hao Jun said that he followed the path of the Body Gate, while the Lord of the Underworld followed the path of the Soul Gate.

This is similar to the concept of essence, qi, and spirit proposed by Li Boyang.

Having consumed the Immortal Grass year-round, Gou Xing easily entered the Body Gate realm, possessing an immortal body that even the gods envied.

But Hook Star knew better than any god that his talent lay elsewhere.

The Immortal Grass only helped Hook Star step into the threshold of the Body Gate, but there was still a long way to go before reaching the Heavenly Gate, let alone crossing it.

Compared to his ten exceptionally talented older brothers.

Gou Xing felt that he might never be able to cross the threshold of the body in his lifetime.

In that case, Gouxing had no choice but to find another way to achieve immortality of the soul.

It was under these circumstances that Hook Star in the lower realm encountered the original Guhuoniao.

The transformation of Hook Star into Guhuoniao was never forced.

In order to obtain the supernatural powers of the Guhuoniao, she voluntarily asked the other party to turn her into a split soul.

As for how Hook Star maintains its original intention?
Hook Star's method is actually quite simple—it's to kill the original Ubume.

By devouring the soul of the Ubume and making it a part of oneself, one can become the only Ubume in the world.

Since that's the case, what's the point of talking about one's true nature? Isn't it all up to oneself?

It can only be said that Gou Xing's idea at the time was simplistic, crude, and naive, fundamentally blurring the concept of "original intention".
