Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly and said, "The other six people, including Su Yan, will believe in my death, but the Pope will definitely be the exception."

Hearing this, Shen Muchan was even more puzzled and asked, "Is your faked death not perfect?"

Gu Yuqiu shook his head and said, "My death is real because I am certain of my own death. Even if you see me now and know that I am who I am, if you deduce it again based on this fact, the answer you will still be that I am dead."

When she stepped onto the sixth level and fully entered the realm of the gods, her soul traveled to an incomparably distant place, where she saw the origin of life and the end of death. When she returned, she found that her original body, after countless battles, was on the verge of its limit and could no longer bear her will.

So, an idea naturally came to her.

—Based on the fact that the destruction of the previous body led to its own death, the present body is recreated, and life and death are now intertwined.

This is one of the reasons why she appears to have regressed to the second order.

Shen Muchan was silent for a while, then said, "Only when you completely lose your former power will this change, and only then will the fog surrounding you dissipate?"

"Probably." Gu Yuqiu casually told a lie.

She then continued, "However, the Pope does not disbelieve because of this."

Shen Muchan remained silent.

The white cat glanced at her, thinking, "You really are an idiot. Is there something hard to understand in this?"

It's simply that the Pope doesn't believe in his own God, yet his power is connected to God, lacking absolute autonomy—that's all.

The next moment, Shen Muchan realized what the white cat was thinking, and her eyes widened. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Is this the reason he made that choice just now?"

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "Yes, that is the reason why he chose to betray his god before entering Xin Chu."

Shen Muchan said, "The Pope's power certainly comes from himself, not from the gift of that old god, but there is already a god at the end of his path, which means he is destined not to go any further."

"and then?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at her, her tone light and cheerful, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"When the Pope confirmed this fact, many thoughts inevitably arose in his mind. Whenever the Old God increasingly desired to awaken and return from the endless darkness, these thoughts would become a thing..."

Shen Muchan said in a slightly deep voice, "Suspicion."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Doubt is often the beginning of misfortune."

Shen Muchan said in a low voice, "The Pope's faith is wavering because he knows very well that if that old god really is to return and choose a body in the human world, then it will be him."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Every human who reaches the peak of the fifth rank is someone who has unwavering self-confidence. Therefore, the loss of self-awareness is something that is destined to be unacceptable."

"So the Pope began preparations, and for this he contacted me a few years ago and had a conversation."

She continued, "However, the content of that conversation has no direct relation to Xin Chu's matter; the two are unrelated. After all... I rejected him at the time."

Shen Muchan stared into her eyes and said, "But you strengthened the Pope's resolve to abandon his faith."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

In fact, there were some things she didn't say clearly.

For example, after that meeting, the Pope went into the church and sat facing the statue of God, and has been sitting there ever since, in order to slow down the erosion of the old gods.

In other words, the Pope had been secretly fighting against that Old God for a long time, until today he chose to completely abandon him.

All of this stems from Gu and Qiu.

Why was she still surprised today after realizing the Pope's choice?

……

……

Shen Muchan didn't ask, because she was unaware of this and thought everything was under control.

The white cat raised its head and looked at Gu Yuqiu curiously, wondering what your original plan was.

Gu Yuqiu suddenly said, "The Pope is a very gentle person."

Are you kidding me?

Shen Muchan found these words utterly absurd, thinking to herself, how could a cult leader possibly be worthy of those two words?

Gu Yuqiu said, "I was referring to the Pope's style of doing things."

Shen Muchan still refused to accept it, shaking her head and saying, "Although I don't understand why you're changing the subject, I still think what you said is outrageous."

"This is not changing the subject, but explaining the premise."

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "Handling things gently could be described as indecisive. That's why I didn't expect him to be so decisive today."

Shen Muchan said with a hint of sarcasm, "After learning the truth, it still took several years to solidify your resolve to abandon your faith. How can that be considered decisive?"

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said self-deprecatingly, "So let's go back to the beginning. The Pope was prepared to include the entire New Chu in the dream and then destroy it, simply because he believed I was alive and wanted to force me to appear. Can this be considered decisive?"

Shen Muchan's gaze pierced through the endless night, landing on the distant high-rise of the Special Affairs Bureau. She remained silent for a long time.

Exhaust everything.

At any cost.

Just to see one person.

Even if he has to bear countless blood feuds, and suffer countless hunts for the rest of his life, never seeing the light of day, until the moment he becomes a god.

This was certainly decisive, even reckless and unreasonable.

"If we can talk about it, then let's return to our original topic."

Shen Muchan looked at Gu Yuqiu and asked seriously, "If you wait any longer, you will die. Why do you continue to wait and remain unmoved?"

Gu Yuqiu turned around, her gaze returning to the direction of the Special Affairs Bureau, and said with a light laugh, "What am I waiting for? You'll find out as you watch."

"You..."

Shen Muchan gave her a cold look and said, "If you get killed, I promise to sweep your grave every day."

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly, feigning surprise as she asked, "So you like me that much?"

Shen Muchan remained silent.

Gu Yuqiu found it somewhat amusing. Meeting the girl's cold gaze, he reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "I was once a god, and the old gods are also gods. It's normal for us to have communicated with each other, isn't it?"

The rooftop was completely quiet.

Even the sound of the cold wind was so jarring.

Shen Muchan remained silent for a long time, neither pushing Gu Yuqiu's hand away nor asking any meaningless questions.

For example, were you plotting against the Pope all along?

She only said one sentence at the end: "Will this stop New Chu from being destroyed by the Pope?"

"perhaps……"

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "It still depends on the other people."

……

……

That seemingly empty sea had now begun to churn with countless giant waves.

Throughout the entire planet, all extraordinary beings sensed the changes in Xin Chu, and even ordinary people who had not yet stepped onto the path to godhood felt a shadow fall over their hearts.

In mythology, God once sent down fire from the heavens to destroy a city.

Myths are now gradually becoming reality and will soon become history.

As Lu Xiu pondered these things, his resolve became completely firm, and he no longer hesitated.

The blood, crackling with lightning, gushed out at an even faster rate, making his face even paler.

Above the night sky, layers of dense clouds flashed with white light, signaling the imminent arrival of thunder.

The Pope, observing all this, said, "It's still meaningless."

After saying this, he pinched the bloodline in front of him with his index finger and thumb, and unimaginable power was directly applied to the Void Slash.

The bloodline began to tremble.

A mournful cry followed.

Just then, a voice came from somewhere.

The voice was cold, like the wind of a harsh winter, and fierce, like the sun of a sweltering summer.

More like the west wind.

"You dare to imitate her?"

Yes, the person who used to say that nothing mattered the most was Gu Yuqiu.

No one is qualified to be compared to her.

As Su Yan thought this, her gaze passed through countless tall buildings and landed on the Pope.

The cold wind blew her long skirt.

It rustled.

Like war drums.

Chapter 135: Chapter 133 The Ancient Scroll of Slumber

Across countless tall buildings and the darkness of night, their eyes met.

The cold wind blows, seemingly without end.

After she finished speaking, the Pope did not get angry, but just looked at her quietly, his expression becoming much more serious.

Even though he claims he can take on two opponents at once and is not afraid of any enemy, he still cannot be careless when he actually faces such a familiar opponent.

The innocent empress is different from Lu Xiu.

Even if the latter's title is "Star Descender," which implies power and depth, it is highly likely that he will come to the location where the two are now.

But those are all in the future. In the present, Lu Xiu is utterly vulnerable in his presence.

Therefore, he is willing to say a few words about it.

"I've been waiting for you for so long..."
