What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Immediately afterwards, people awoke from their momentary confusion and began to evacuate.

The whole process was unusually calm, but this had nothing to do with quality; it was purely due to the deep-seated fear left over from the constant warfare in Yingzhou several years ago.

Gu Yuqiu walked slowly towards the crossroads and stood in the very center.

As the ordinary people left, her view became unobstructed, and those who remained stood out all the more.

In this open space, the announcements from loudspeakers, informing people to evacuate, became especially clear, while people on the screens were speaking in sign language.

At this moment, the only people still in Gu Yuqiu's sight can be her enemies.

"I'm really disappointed now. You changed your name, and now even your personality has changed?"

A voice filled with emotion rang out from someone's mouth.

At the same time, everyone who had their eyes on Gu Yuqiu was repeating the same sentence.

She had witnessed something like this not long ago.

That was a scene from when she was negotiating with Akiba Harumi at the Hakusui Shrine.

"You want to..."

Gu Yuqiu quietly watched the crowd gather, then suddenly laughed and asked, "Are you trying to drive me crazy by repeating the same sentence over and over again?"

The crowd that had been closing in like a tide stopped in its tracks. A man stepped forward and said to her, "If you can be killed like this, then of course I can too."

Gu Yuqiu ignored it.

But cats reason.

A flash of white light, like lightning, appeared, illuminating the empty world and bringing forth a snowflake.

The person who spoke was instantly split in two, falling to the left and right with the center of their forehead as the dividing line, their internal organs spilling onto the road.

Fresh blood flowed slowly.

Songtang perched on Gu Yuqiu's shoulder, looking down at the crowd with a cold yet mad gaze.

"It's meaningless."

Another person stepped forward and said indifferently, "As long as there are superhumans in this world, I will not be truly killed, no matter how many times it happens."

"idiot!"

Songtang's voice echoed in all directions: "I'm watching from here. Who can kill her? With the trash you've found? Back then, she and I killed countless people. What's the point of you!"

Those who observed the scene through various means agreed with the meaning of the statement after hearing this voice.

If that's the case, then it's impossible that this is a situation that wasn't considered.

The question is, who has the right to stop a cat standing on the fifth step from protecting her?

The crowd slowly parted.

A headless corpse emerged from it and stood in the sunlight.

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow, as if she had seen something very interesting.

"You can do it."

A mocking voice emerged from the crowd, reaching everyone's ears: "I can do the same, except I manipulate death."

Gu Yuqiu shook his head and said, "I have never done anything as boring and degrading as playing with corpses."

The voice, unperturbed, continued, "I'm merely giving him a chance to take revenge himself."

Yes, this headless corpse is that of the monk Jiehai.

He is even more powerful now than he was in life.

Is that all?

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "Go and bring Xinglu over now, then drag the other four along, and get about twenty more fifth-tier warriors. That way you can kill me."

This is the truth.

The final battle on Christmas Eve proved that she was still invincible and could not be defeated, let alone killed.

Just as everyone was pondering this question, a strange feeling arose.

The next moment, all sound vanished.

The sound of waves rises.

This is not just the arrival of another twilight world, but a far more terrifying situation.

—Imagination.

The sound of waves from the vast, empty sea gradually grew like thunder.

Along with the thunder came a few words.

"Yes, you are still invincible."

"But the price of your invincibility is the continuous disappearance of the Ancient Scrolls of Slumber, which will cause you to lose all hope of leaving."

"Choose one."

"To live in this world, or to be drowned by one's own dreams."

Chapter 169: Chapter Seventeen - A Land Without People

"Choose one?"

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "In my memory, things like this really are quite distant."

In the battle of Xin Chu, the Pope had little time left, so he took the initiative to make the choice for her, causing Lin Mushi to die.

As she searched deeper into her memories, she found similar situations dating back to when she had just arrived in this world, which made her feel somewhat emotional.

—In those situations, many forces demanded that she pledge allegiance, give up her freedom, or die.

However, what people cared about was not these things, but the calmness in her tone.

If the virtual realm were willing to accept the commotion from the outside world, there would surely be an uproar right now.

Even the sea's own will fell silent.

Soon, Gu Yuqiu's voice rang out again.

"Thinking about it this way, you did give me a choice, so I should say something to you..."

She looked at the crowd in front of her and said with a half-smile, "Thank you."

The world was silent.

After an unknown amount of time, the thunderous voice finally responded, resonating in everyone's hearts.

"So, have you figured out what to do?"

After the crowd, a huge figure slowly appeared, standing between heaven and earth.

The figure seemed to deliberately obscure its gender, its face shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see clearly.

A sense of holiness and grandeur spread through the hearts of all who witnessed this figure, causing them to involuntarily bow their heads in awe.

Yes, this is the will hidden within Akiha Harumi's body.

In a sense, it is the origin of all extraordinary power, the truth of all myths, and a totem of worship that has continued from ancient times to the present.

Such a great being must have something extraordinary about it.

The light flowing from the enormous figure, like a stream of water, seemed to conceal countless extraordinary mysteries, with immeasurable knowledge in every fragment.

Even an ordinary person who has no chance of having extraordinary power can cross that threshold and become a high-ranking extraordinary being simply by seeing these flowing lights.

From this perspective, its existence is the embodiment of a miracle.

Gu Yuqiu looked at it quietly without saying a word.

"Don't try to delay things. It's not in line with your status or level, and it's pointless."

"I'm just thinking about one thing."

“I won’t pay attention to others, but you are different. Please speak.”

What is your name?

As soon as he finished speaking, the thunderous sound of the waves suddenly disappeared.

This is a question that surprised everyone.

But it is very meaningful.

Names and surnames are the most basic recognition of one existence by another. At this moment, Gu and Qiu are not just strangers meeting, but are discussing the future of humanity.

So, this is something that can't be avoided.

You can call me...

It said slowly, "The beginning."

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly, shook her head, and said, "This name is really awful."

Hearing this evaluation, people were speechless, wondering what was wrong with it. Wasn't this the most apt description?

By now, any sufficiently powerful superhuman would have deduced what kind of being this enormous figure was, and would naturally feel reverence for it.

If the illusory transformation hadn't continued, someone would have already spoken up to correct her assessment.

But most people felt they could understand Gu Yuqiu. No matter who was in this situation, it would be difficult to remain calm, and it was perfectly normal to vent their emotions through words.

Yuan Chu slowly lowered his head, his expression utterly indifferent, showing no sign of being moved by those words, and asked, "Where is the difference, and where is the problem?"

Gu Yuqiu said gently, "Of course it's because you're not worthy of the name."

She looked at the giant, at the light that flowed out like water, and then said, "If you are real, then you don't need to appear in this manner, emphasizing that you are sacred."

When she said this, her tone was exceptionally calm, as if it were a matter of course, which was very convincing.

If anyone in the world said that, they would face the most thorough questioning.

Gu and Qiu are ultimately different.

She had been to the end of the long staircase leading to the gods and seen those views.
