What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

"I was indeed waiting for you to arrive at that time."

Gu Yuqiu suddenly said, "I was thinking of taking care of everything at once, so that it would be a permanent solution."

When Lu Xiu asked Su Yan about the changes in the new Chu Xu realm, how could she not have heard Shen Muchan's answer before he interrupted?

The reason for her silence was precisely what she said at that moment.

"Then you can give up."

Qiu Ye Chun Hai proudly raised his head, straightened his back, and looked down at Gu Yu Qiu, saying each word clearly: "Accept the fact that you cannot kill me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Muchan subconsciously looked over.

Even Su Yan was no exception.

No matter how you interpret it, this is a provocation.

"and then?"

Gu Yuqiu wasn't angry. She looked at her quietly, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"In my original plan, I didn't want to meet you now; I wanted to meet you a little later."

Akiha Harumi said slowly, "The unfortunate thing is that this idea has now been shattered because of my curiosity. So let's make things clear today."

She paused, then added, "You can think of this conversation as our first negotiation."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement and said, "Continue."

"I only have one request."

Akiha Harumi stared into her eyes and said coldly, "Give up your idea of ​​leaving. Let everything be as it was before."

Gu Yuqiu found it quite boring, because this was not an unexpected remark.

She asked, "What if I disagree?"

"Then there is only one possible outcome."

Akiha Shunkai's tone was very calm.

This sounds inexplicable; it only mentions the top but not the bottom, leaving many directions to consider. However, all three understood her meaning: there was only one.

Clear to the extreme

If Gu Yuqiu insists on going her own way and sticks to her own will.

Then the war would begin immediately.

Until she is defeated, or Gu and Qiu die, ending with the absolute destruction of one of them.

This could very well lead to the destruction of humanity, or even the shattering of the entire planet and the end of all life on it.

"why?"

Looking at the girl's profile, Shen Muchan couldn't help but ask.

No one had ever told her what was going on behind the scenes. She only knew that the sea had been turbulent recently and that something big was about to happen, but she never connected it to Gu Yuqiu's departure.

In her view, it should be that by virtue of the authority of the Lord of Sleep, one can travel through interstellar space to other star clusters and return to one's own civilization.

What threat could that pose?

Does Gu Yuqiu have to become a guide, leading countless outsiders to this planet and starting a war that affects all of humanity?

That's a story from a novel, not a story from this world, and certainly not something Gu Yuqiu would do. (Note)

Akiha Harumi saw through her thoughts and sighed, "But the homeland she's going to isn't in this universe; it's in another world."

Shen Muchan was stunned.

Su Yan already knew this fact, and her expression remained unchanged.

Even if it's you...

Akiha Harumi looked at Gu Yuqiu and said, "I don't think you can be sure what changes the encounter between the two worlds will bring to them."

Gu Yuqiu finally found it somewhat interesting, smiled, and said, "Yes."

Su Yan seemed not to hear and closed her eyes.

Aren't you afraid?

Akiha Harumi asked, "What we see before us is all unknown. What if your return brings destruction to your original world?"

This is a very direct and crucial question.

When facing the unknown, we should always prepare for the worst.

But this is often something done out of necessity.

When there are still options, why face the unknown instead of eliminating the possibility?

Akiha Harumi thought this way, and that's what he did.

From a realistic perspective, she is the only one in the world qualified to do so.

—Su Yan and Lin Mushi are not included.

Upon hearing this, Shen Muchan looked at Gu Yuqiu. Even Songtang stopped pretending to be dead. Only Su Yan was still resting with her eyes closed, as if she knew nothing.

Everyone was waiting for that answer.

The sunlight suddenly dimmed.

I wonder if any clouds have drifted by.

Suddenly a breeze arose, bringing with it that clear, spring-like sound.

"You're wrong about one thing."

Gu Yuqiu's voice was calm: "Those unknowns are your unknowns, not mine."

Akiha Harumi remained silent for a long time before saying, "That's true. Thank you for reminding me, which makes it even more important for me to stop you from leaving."

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Even if I'm willing to explain to you, you're still unwilling to change your decision?"

Hearing this, Shen Muchan and Songtang were both a little surprised. They thought to themselves, "Given your style and personality, shouldn't you respond arrogantly to such words and then defeat the other party with absolute strength to resolve the problem?"

Why did you actually start negotiating?

This is so unlike you!

“Because they are difficult to kill,” Su Yan said softly.

She wasn't actually resting with her eyes closed; she was thinking about how to kill her opponent in the cleanest and most efficient way, leaving no trace of trouble.

Unfortunately, she exhausted all her knowledge and only found one possible existence, which was beyond her capabilities.

That might be Gu Yuqiu, or more accurately, that deity from the past.

"You can't kill me."

Akiba Harumi said, "If I couldn't be sure of this, why would I have come to see you? This is the basis of all negotiations."

After saying this, she thought for a moment and glanced outside the hall.

next moment.

The extraordinary beings outside the hall, who were as silent as statues, suddenly dimmed their eyes, but then brightened them again in an instant, their lips moving as they repeated the same sentence.

The voice surged like a wave, entering from outside the hall and echoing throughout the empty space: "You can't kill me... that's the basis for all negotiations."

For some reason, this sound, which was clearly made by a human, seemed inexplicably sacred.

It was like a religious choir singing praises to the gods, or like some humans breaking free of certain shackles—solemn and profound.

But all of this meant nothing to the people present.

Shen Muchan found it a bit noisy, so she waved her sleeve, freezing time in the hall, cutting off all echoes, and plunging it into absolute silence.

Songtang arched its back, its fur becoming fluffy, its azure eyes reflecting the girl in front of it, as if it might strike with its claws at any moment.

Su Yan did nothing about it, only saying one sentence.

It surpasses a thousand words and countless blades.

"But you still can't kill us."

Autumn Leaves and Spring Sea fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, she rubbed her temples wearily and said, "This is precisely why we negotiate instead of launching a direct war."

She turned to look at Gu Yuqiu and then asked, "You can state your conditions. What would it take to make you give up your idea and stay in this world?"

Gu Yuqiu retorted, "Are you so sure I won't go back on my word after agreeing to your request?"

The old gods are still asleep, and the new gods have not yet returned.

No one is as good as them.

In that case, no one can be their witness to ensure that the agreement cannot be reversed.

You're right.

Looking into her eyes, Akiha Harumi calmly said, "Therefore, I will take away your ability to leave, the authority of the Lord of Sleep, and the key that connects to the unknown world."

Gu Yuqiu asked calmly, "Then what can I get?"

"What you want."

Akiha Harumi liked this answer very much, feeling that it meant things were negotiable, and patiently said, "Whatever it is, I am willing to get it for you, because you deserve it."

After she finished speaking, she personally poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.

This is undoubtedly a sign of sincerity.

Gu Yuqiu took the tea, took a sip as usual, and said, "It tastes good."

She prefers wine to tea, but she's not completely ignorant about it; she can easily distinguish between good and bad wine.

Akiha Harumi was somewhat surprised, not expecting the negotiation to be so easy. A look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by satisfaction.

Neither feeling relaxed nor feeling lost matters.

The important thing is that things are going smoothly enough that she even has the opportunity to get Gu Yuqiu's help, unify those still chaotic wills, and achieve absolute self-realization...

Just then, she heard a sentence.
