What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

So they could only turn to influencing the world around them, but this was undoubtedly an area they were not good at, and they had to pay a greater price.

This is also why Theresa has ended up in her current situation.

Even though she defeated Lin Mushi with extreme ease, even though Su Yan still made things convenient for her, even though she grasped that ethereal giant sword and stepped into the realm of the gods, witnessing a brand new landscape...

But she still didn't let Qiu go far.

Those things that are meant to exist will always exist, constantly putting pressure on her mental world, which then leads to injury and finally manifests as bloodshed in reality.

This is the real reason why the giant sword could not fall.

Gu Yuqiu had been waiting, and only after confirming that Theresa had reached her limit a moment ago did he put down his sword and come to the girl's side.

Because the battle was over, the grand and magnificent event ended without a trace.

She wiped the blood off the believer.

He uttered those four words.

"You did your best."

……

……

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

The lightning bolts that rolled in the dark clouds vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

The streetlights hadn't yet come on, leaving the overpass completely dark. Amidst the noisy wind and rain, the only bright thing was the gaze of the three people in the room.

Theresa blinked, her deep blue eyes revealing weariness, and said, "Is this the end?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at her without saying a word.

"I'm still a little unwilling."

Theresa felt the warmth of the fingertips on her cheek, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I should be able to do it. I shouldn't have thought about reaching the fifth rank."

Su Yan suddenly said, "If you give up and choose not to take that step forward, that will disappoint her."

"As the saying goes, the most precious thing a person has is life. Everyone only has one chance to come into this world. If you leave regrets before you die, you will inevitably feel great remorse when you look back on your life."

She said softly, "The moment you grasp the sword, you see the path to the divine kingdom. Taking that step is only natural, because it is the instinct of life, the human desire for a higher level."

At this point, she suddenly glanced at Gu Yuqiu, a mocking look in her eyes.

"Of course, it is ultimately your own choice. If your will is strong enough, or if your faith in her is genuine, then you can do it."

Finally, she looked at Theresa and smiled, saying, "Unfortunately, your faith is nothing but a facade, an anchor point for your own progress on the path to godhood. That's all; it's all fake."

Theresa was stunned.

Gu Yuqiu remained silent.

What even Su Yan could see, how could it escape her eyes? It's just that for some reason, she admired such people and things, and therefore ignored it.

"You're about to die."

Su Yan's smile faded, and she said sincerely, "Why deceive yourself any longer?"

As soon as the words fell, the ethereal giant sword finally vanished, silently transforming into countless gusts of wind that carried rain in all directions, like a dream.

Theresa stared into her eyes, her voice trembling slightly, and asked, "Why are you saying these things to me? I remember you as a good person, don't I?"

Since you are a good person, why can't you let me die with the joy of martyrdom when I'm about to die?

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "Is this my fault?"

"Of course I am a good person, but I am still a human being, not a real god, so of course I have my own temper."

Su Yan looked at Gu Yuqiu and said something expressionless.

Everyone knows that this was said to Theresa.

"I did so much to help you win, but you let me down and ended up achieving nothing. So why should I still be good to you? Just because I'm a good person?"

"Fine, even if I really am a good person, you should think about what you've done in the past, the ruthless killing of innocent people. Do you still think you deserve my kindness?"

"I suppose not. Since that's the case, then don't think you can die so easily, thinking you're really a martyr or a saint."

While speaking, her expression remained unchanged, and her tone was even more flat, not much different from reading aloud.

However, everyone could hear the mockery in his words, a mockery that was etched into their very soul.

"Oh."

Su Yan looked at Gu Yuqiu and said with a smile, "How come you, who are usually so cold and ruthless, have suddenly become so kind today? Saving people and comforting people, it's really inexplicable."

Gu Yuqiu did not answer, but calmly said, "I am not a talkative person."

After saying this, she glanced at Theresa one last time, said nothing more, and placed her fingertips on Theresa's brow for a moment.

Theresa suddenly felt a chill. She looked down at her body and saw darkness spreading outwards.

The darkness resembled seawater, carrying an extremely cold feeling, yet deep within her she inexplicably felt a sense of urgency, as if she were about to return home.

Then she felt an overwhelming weariness.

It felt like she hadn't had a real rest for thousands of days. Suddenly, at some point, the accumulated fatigue overwhelmed her, making her instinctively want to close her eyes.

She finally realized what was going on, looked up at Gu Yuqiu, and asked, "Is this where your divine kingdom is?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

The sound, falling into her ears, was like the tolling of a bell.

The sound of bells is a signal to return home.

She smiled, sighed contentedly, took one last look at the sky, and then drifted into an eternal dream.

Then, the darkness engulfed her body and quietly dissipated, as if it had never existed.

The wind and rain gradually subsided.

The dark clouds began to disperse, and sunlight filtered through the tiny cracks, faintly illuminating the two people on the overpass.

Beside the two, the destruction caused by the battle still existed in reality. The section of the bridge that had been melted by the Sunlight Spear had now become two huge waterfalls, possessing a strange beauty.

I am very disappointed.

Su Yan looked at the shattered ring and said, "From that day on, I thought I would never lose control of my emotions because of you again, but I was wrong."

Yes, if she hadn't been in such a terrible emotional state at that moment, she would never have said those words that were so cruel to Theresa.

If today's task fails, then it fails.

Actually, she didn't really care much... She did care, but what she couldn't accept even more was that Lin Mushi had survived in this way.

For her, this was the deepest and cruelest betrayal, and she could find no reason to forgive it.

Gu Yuqiu calmly said, "Because Lin Mushi is my person."

Su Yan asked, "So?"

"If you want to kill her, you should at least ask for my opinion."

Gu Yuqiu looked into Su Yan's eyes and said seriously, "I didn't say anything, how could you do this? Therefore, I have a reason to disagree."

If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have explained so much, but Su Yan is different.

Su Yan said indifferently, "I don't accept it."

Gu Yuqiu said, "There's another reason."

"I hope you can convince me."

Su Yan met her gaze and said, word by word, "Otherwise, I will kill her."

Gu Yuqiu knew that he was serious when he said that.

If she doesn't give a reasonable explanation, Lin Mushi will surely die today, because Su Yan will do whatever it takes to achieve this.

Even she couldn't stop it.

Therefore, she really gave an irrefutable reason.

"You made a mistake in what you said earlier."

Gu Yuqiu looked at Su Yan and said with a smile, "I'm sorry."

Su Yan fell silent.

A long period of silence.

She turned around, looked at the dark rain clouds in the distance, and gazed at the faint ray of light in the sky, saying, "So?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at her profile, his eyes filled with emotion, and said, "You always say that I am too self-centered, that even if I know I am wrong, I am unwilling to admit it, and that I have never said sorry in my life. These three words are actually very simple."

Su Yan said the same three words again.

"so what?"

“I’ve been thinking about this carefully these past few days and I’ve realized that my personality is indeed a bit terrible. Although I thought that these flaws were exactly what you liked about me, I should still try to change them a little, even if I can’t necessarily change them completely.”

"It must have been Lin Mushi who made you discover this."

"It's not her, it's you, because I've known you for too long."

Let's stop here, amidst the sound of wind and rain.

For some reason, the sky suddenly cleared up, as if a weather maiden was standing on a tall building, with her hands clasped together, bowing her head in a devout manner to pray for the sunshine.

The wind was no longer so cold, and a sense of comfort arose, which was extremely rare in the cold winter.

Su Yan ignored all of that and looked at Gu Yuqiu, asking, "So, who do you want to apologize to?"

"you."

Gu Yuqiu said, "It will be her another day."

Su Yan curled her lips slightly and said mockingly, "If you weren't here today, she would be dead. This should be her apologizing to you."

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "But in the end, this all started because of me. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been involved, wouldn't have met you, and wouldn't have been in any danger."

Su Yan asked, "Is this your reason?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement, decisively and without hesitation.
