The reason why I suddenly became more talkative is still quite simple.
When a god is about to die, he speaks much.
Even though He was still incredibly powerful and arrogant at this time, He still couldn't have confidence when facing those stars that radiated blood-red light.
Because those lights... all came from her divine kingdom, the power displayed by countless beings who died at her hands and were sublimated after death.
"bring it on."
The Pope concluded by saying, "Let me see the end that I was originally going to reach."
The Lord of Sleep responded expressionlessly.
……
……
Amidst the crimson sky, humans and the ancient gods departed from the deep pit.
A moment later, a huge wave suddenly rose up on the sea, the aftershock of the two wills meeting.
Everyone watched the battle until they could no longer bear it and were vomiting blood, unwilling to miss a single moment of the scene.
Gu Yuqiu did not.
Her expression was casual, as if the outcome was already predetermined and there was no possibility of change. She took a pack of tissues from her trench coat and handed it to someone nearby.
Su Yan took the tissue and slowly wiped the blood from her face. Suddenly, she asked, "Why did you do all this?"
As she spoke, she waved her hand.
An invisible barrier appeared between the two, silencing the sounds and cutting off the perception of outsiders.
Gu Yuqiu said, "I want the Ancient Scroll of the Sleeping Lord, but what I want now is the throne of the Lord of the Sleeping Lord."
Su Yan said softly, "That's not what I'm asking. What do you want these for? I don't think it's worth abandoning what you have in the past and leaving your throne."
"It's very simple."
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment, took the tissue from her hand, wiped her face, and said, "The power held by the Lord of the Sleeping Realm is not some dream."
Su Yan seemed to be deep in thought.
Gu Yuqiu's movements were very gentle, just like her tone: "What He truly controls is complicated... You can think of it as a door and a key."
Su Yan said, "It means connection."
Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly and said, "There's a reason why I like you."
Su Yan stared into her eyes and asked seriously, "So, what exactly is your purpose in taking this door and the key?"
Gu Yuqiu asked, "Do you remember what I said to you yesterday?"
Su Yan hadn't forgotten, and said, "Leave with you, to where you came from?"
"Yes."
Gu Yuqiu looked up at the sky, which was dyed red, as if she saw the past, and said, "I want to return to where I came from."
"So you're willing to do all this."
Su Yan pushed her hand away, looked at the darkness surrounding Xin Chu, and seemed to hear countless sobs. She sighed and said, "Truly... cold-blooded."
Gu Yuqiu shook her head and said, "You're wrong."
Su Yan looked at her.
"This statement was correct before, but it is wrong now."
Gu Yuqiu's eyes were bright, reflecting the person in front of her, and she said earnestly, "I have thought about this world for you."
Two days ago, she erased all traces of herself and went to the interrogation room to do so.
Today, the deep red appeared, drawing away those gazes.
So when the Pope arrived in New Chu, he only sensed Lin Mushi and then went to the Special Affairs Bureau.
The journey was smooth and uneventful.
The only one who died, Zhong Chongshan, was someone she couldn't care less about.
You said you wanted peace and tranquility in the world and didn't want to see death, separation, or too many tragedies.
Then.
I've thought about it for you.
Chapter 138: Chapter 136 Long Time No See, Nostalgia
Su Yan said softly, "But the result is still destruction."
Gu Yuqiu gazed into the distance, remaining silent.
The sky seemed to crack open, and huge gaps appeared in the thick clouds, through which tiny flames fell, looking like a meteor shower from afar—a truly spectacular sight.
The meteors that fell into the sea did not cause much of a commotion before being extinguished by a tsunami tens of meters high.
The whole world seemed to be returning to a state before life even began.
This was merely the aftermath of that battle.
It's just the aftermath.
This leads to the destruction of all things.
People look at the sea, so far away, yet they remain worried.
Because the deafening roar was incessant.
Moreover, the sound of rolling waves could be faintly heard within it.
This is a sign that the vast, empty sea is about to arrive, causing Xin Chu to be completely reduced to a virtual realm and forced to leave the real world.
If this process is completed, then all ordinary people will die, followed by the superhumans, then those below the fourth rank, and so on up to the fifth rank.
That was the most extreme form of destruction.
New Chu, and its 17 million permanent residents, including cats, dogs, and all sorts of pets, including mosquitoes and cockroaches, are no exception as long as they are alive.
In some cults, this process is seen as a form of purification or sublimation, a necessary path to heaven.
But no matter how you describe it, it's all destruction, all death.
Both are tragedies that inevitably result in the deaths of countless people.
……
……
"Once something is decided at the beginning, it is indeed very difficult to change it at the end."
Gu Yuqiu withdrew her gaze and looked at Su Yan.
Many days ago, the scene of today had already appeared in her mind's eye, with only slight differences in the details.
That's why she intentionally lives a secluded life, deliberately keeping to herself and avoiding any involvement in any cause or effect, so as not to feel any reluctance.
She wouldn't care if things she didn't care about were destroyed, no matter how many were destroyed.
Why did she suddenly change her mind when everything was about to be settled at the end?
“Three days ago, you slapped me on the face. At that time, you told me that I still owed you a slap.”
Gu Yuqiu said self-deprecatingly, "I'm very afraid of pain. Afterwards, I was thinking about how to make you stop thinking about it."
Su Yan was taken aback by the absurd reason and asked, "And then?"
Gu Yuqiu said, "At that time, my thought was just to get by, so that when you question me, I can tell you that I have done my best."
Su Yan shook her head and said, "I will not accept such a statement."
"I do not care."
Gu Yuqiu calmly said, "You know very well that I only care about myself when I do things, and besides, I also think that you are already tired of your responsibilities."
Su Yan looked into her eyes and said, "But you eventually changed your mind and decided to do more, instead of just trying your best and getting by."
"Yes, I changed my mind."
Gu Yuqiu smiled and said gently, "Because the night before last, we drank together and talked a lot, even about the word 'leaving'."
Su Yan did not speak.
The two of them certainly wouldn't forget everything that night. Although there were many arguments and the atmosphere wasn't very pleasant, with very little genuine casual conversation, they still remembered it very clearly.
The conversation ended with Gu Yuqiu's regret...
Beyond his affection for Su Yan.
Finally, it was time for them to part ways.
"Of course I know that night was not goodbye forever. We can see each other again today and tomorrow."
Gu Yuqiu said softly, "But that's ultimately different, because of what's happening now."
Su Yan finished her sentence for her: "I can no longer be as calm and collected as I was that night, sitting by the window with you, chatting and drinking about everything."
No matter how much she liked Gu Yuqiu's bad temper, she couldn't possibly ignore all the disasters that had happened tonight.
This is something you can't fool yourself about.
Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement and said, "I found it hard to accept that kind of future, so I really changed my mind... and did more."
Su Yan looked into the distance, watching the world marching toward destruction.
The twilight-like light quietly fell on her face, reflecting the bloodstains and paleness.
She remained silent for a long time before saying, "Thank you."
Gu Yuqiu didn't look at her and said, "No need."
