What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

What people saw was that the still, sculpted sea began to crumble, and endless dark clouds surged overhead.

Even the sea, after being solidified and pulverized, began to drop in level, exceeding one meter in just a few seconds.

The Pope was covered in blood, but his eyes remained bright and his back never bent.

Before him, thousands of stars had shattered, leaving only a dozen or so, standing forlornly in front, forming the final line of defense.

Hundreds of the Sleeping Lords stood high in the sky and on the sea, preparing to launch their final attack.

This is the last image people saw.

Because... that tiny speck of light, as faint as dust, finally fell upon the world.

Night still falls.

Everything seemed unchanged.

The next second, hundreds of the Sleeping Lords, who had occupied almost the entire sky and sea, vanished together.

It was pitch black, and you couldn't see anything clearly, yet it gave off a sense of cleanliness.

It also resembles tranquility.

The Pope looked at the suddenly empty space ahead, coughed, and waved his hand to retrieve the remaining dozen or so stars.

He looked at the tall buildings in the distance, his gaze falling on Gu Yuqiu, whose face was pale. He realized that this was not an easy matter and felt relieved.

The world remained silent.

Everyone is waiting for the outcome: will the Lord of Sleep survive, or will the one who continues to prove his invincibility?

I don't know how much time passed, but then snow began to fall from the sky.

This is the first snowfall in Xinchu since the beginning of winter.

Thus, people knew that the Lord of Sleep was dead.

……

……

Falling along with the first snow was something pitch black.

Those are the remains of the Lord of Sleep.

A gem.

The Pope reached out, took the gem in his hand, and looked at Gu Yuqiu.

This time, his gaze was no longer concealed, but open and honest.

Many people are puzzled.

Until the Pope said those words.

"Long time no see, I miss you."

P.S.: Regarding the name, I initially thought of "Remembering," but later I felt that it wasn't quite right. I kept thinking about what would be better and more suitable, but in the end, I still used "Remembering."

Fortunately, this and her actions are indeed in line with her name.

Chapter 139: Chapter 137 After Her Death

"To miss" is a verb, and its meaning is very clear: to long for and care about.

After a great battle, it seemed that the predetermined fate had been changed. Pope Guanxue was filled with melancholy, and thus he uttered those words, which is not difficult to understand.

The question is, why did he look at Gu Yuqiu when he said that?

Many people were still puzzled and couldn't believe the meaning of those words. They looked at Gu Yuqiu, who was standing to the side and didn't stand out, and wondered if he was just a second-tier person.

Besides being incredibly beautiful, what's so special about it?

Lu Xiu was not one of those ordinary people who were simply forgotten.

He glanced at Gu Yuqiu, then thought of Shen Hong, and wondered if that was how things were.

Lin Mushi didn't look at anyone, her lips slightly upturned, revealing an extremely complicated smile.

Memories of the past, countless details, surfaced in her mind: that irrational confidence, that inexplicable arrogance, that disdain for everything, that serene and dignified air...

There's a reason for everything.

It had nothing to do with money or powerful connections; it only concerned herself.

How can someone as invincible as Gu Yuqiu, who single-handedly changed the world order and once seriously considered the destruction of human civilization, not be proud?

If it is humility, it is inevitably hypocritical.

Lin Mushi thought about these words, her expression unchanged, but her heart grew increasingly sad. She looked at Su Yan with her last hope.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "That person... is surnamed Huai, right?"

Su Yan glanced at her and said, "Mm."

Others might not understand Lin Mushi's feelings at this moment, but she did, because she had had the same experience.

Just like when she learned that Gu Yuqiu was going to exterminate humanity, she hoped that the news was false, or at least that the person who did it was someone else.

Now, Lin Mushi only thinks that Gu Yuqiu shouldn't be that person. Only if she isn't can they have the possibility of walking side by side instead of drifting further and further apart.

Unfortunately, both Su Yan's and Lin Mushi's hopes ultimately came to nothing.

Due to her position, Su Yan had to stand on the opposite side of Gu Yuqiu.

Limited by the gap, Lin Mushi could only look up at Gu Yuqiu's back.

Su Yan suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for her. After thinking for a moment, she reached out her right hand and patted her head without saying a word.

Lin Mushi paused, looking at her with some surprise, then forced a somewhat awkward polite smile and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Su Yan pointed at Gu Yuqiu and said seriously, "This is all her fault, it has nothing to do with you."

Gu Yuqiu heard everything clearly, without missing a single word of their conversation, yet it was as if she couldn't hear anything at all, her expression remaining unchanged.

She walked slowly to the edge of the now-ruined building, as if standing on the edge of a cliff, looking at the Pope on the distant sea, her expression indifferent.

She said calmly, "It has been a long time."

Who would have thought she was just faking her death?

……

……

The cold wind was biting, and the snowflakes were getting thicker.

The world was completely silent, and the two lines "It's been a long time" seemed exceptionally clear.

Everyone heard it, and countless gazes fell on Gu Yuqiu, beginning to consider that possibility.

In today's world, very few people are qualified to have such a dialogue with the Pope. Those seven all came to the scene in some way, and all remained silent.

So much so that people can't find any reason to convince themselves that Gu Yuqiu isn't that person.

There was no uproar.

The world remained as quiet as ever, as if it had died.

As the Pope watched this scene and felt the eerie stillness, he remarked, "I think that no matter how long you've been gone, it will always be like this when you return."

Gu Yuqiu looked down at him and said, "I only disappeared for a few months."

"During your time on earth, people feel like they are living through years. But after you leave, time will naturally become lighter and pass in the blink of an eye."

The Pope said, "I think many people will feel like they've been through a lifetime when they see you again today."

As he spoke, he glanced in a certain direction, as if asking someone.

A moment later, people heard five different "hmm" sounds.

However, what they all had in common was that they conveyed the same emotion—heartfelt agreement and immense regret that Gu Yuqiu had not died.

Those were the other five peak fifth-tier beings, near-god level experts, standing at the pinnacle of the human world, watching this battle from across the vast, empty sea tonight.

Is that so?

Gu Yuqiu sighed, "I overestimated your courage."

The Pope looked into her eyes and asked, "Do you think this is cowardice?"

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "It's not that bad, but seeing how you all don't want to see me again, I can't help but find it a little funny."

The Pope said, "Whether it's funny or not, those who are qualified to represent this world want you to leave."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Or maybe I really will die."

"Yes."

The Pope said, "Therefore I would like to make a deal with you."

Gu Yuqiu looked at him quietly.

The Pope disappeared from his spot and then reappeared on the building opposite the Special Affairs Bureau, standing at the same height as Gu Yuqiu, extending his right hand and opening his palm.

Miyun was still there, the sky and earth were pitch black, with only faint starlight.

The starlight fell, illuminating the black gem in his hand, which emitted a deep, mysterious glow.

A superhuman who had reached the third stage looked over instinctively and saw endless darkness surging in like a tide, enveloping his soul and beginning to devour it.

Just as the man was about to die, Su Yan coughed.

The strange phenomenon suddenly dissipated, and the extraordinary person regained consciousness. Feeling his extremely cold body, he realized that he had almost died, and hurriedly bowed to Su Yan to express his gratitude.

Interestingly, Lin Mushi was also looking at the gemstone, but she didn't have the same feeling.

"Negotiation, huh?"

Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly and said, "Then what do you want?"

"I want you."

The Pope's voice was calm, yet resolute, as if nothing and no one could change it.
