What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

……

"Perhaps I really cannot imagine your strength, but I can be sure of your weakness at this moment, and another important fact."

Yuan Chu looked down at Gu Yuqiu, his tone calm and indifferent: "It seems there is no force in this world that would not want to see you die."

The virtual realm was completely silent, so the sound was not masked by the ten-kilometer distance and actually reached the outside world.

These words were indeed meant for Gu Yuqiu, but they were not only meant for her, but also for everyone in the world.

This is not a warning, but merely advice.

"Sometimes, I really don't understand why I keep hearing this kind of nonsense?"

Looking at the enormous phantom, Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "Don't you guys think this is boring? It's pointless except for lowering your own standards."

Yuan Chu was silent for a moment, then said, "As long as it can stop you, then it's meaningful."

Gu Yuqiu's gaze shifted to the divine light flowing from the phantoms, and he said with a slight sneer, "It seems you quite like my assessment of you."

That assessment is undeserved.

No matter how much you pretend to be sacred and aloof, or act ethereal and unrealistic, in reality you're still incredibly vulgar.

No matter how remarkable something may be in essence, once it is imbued with a sense of self, it inevitably descends into mediocrity.

Originally, there was no speech.

The enormous phantom that represented its will slowly extended a hand.

As this action occurred, the deep mist shrouding the phantom was no longer calm; like hot oil meeting water, it suddenly boiled and surged.

A deafening roar!

A sudden gust of wind arrived.

Skyscrapers and pylons, concrete and steel bars exploded directly, turning into countless fragments that flew in all directions.

This is just the aftermath.

Amidst all this chaos, a gaze pierced through the dust and landed on Gu Yuqiu.

At the same time, that hand slowly clenched into a fist.

Gu Yuqiu was not in the palm of the hand, and was still tens of meters away from the huge phantom, but she was still affected, and her body trembled slightly.

The scene at this moment was quite magical.

Centered on her, within ten meters, countless modern buildings were crumbling, as if attacked by a nuclear bomb, heading towards destruction.

Within ten meters, however, all was calm and still. She was like a rock in a storm, or a ray of sunshine, standing alone in the world.

But these things cannot last.

While many onlookers were astonished and puzzled as to why Gu Yuqiu was so powerful, those who were truly powerful had already noticed a phenomenon.

That rock is breaking apart.

The sunlight was weak.

The circle, ten meters in diameter, kept shrinking, becoming particularly conspicuous against the backdrop of the swirling dust.

I don't know how much time passed, but the roaring sound finally subsided.

As the dust settled, the once clean streets were no longer as tidy as they had been.

The only exception is near Gu and Qiu.

However, when the roar ended, the circle centered on her was less than three meters wide.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth and coughed softly. Looking at the mountain of construction debris in front of her and the distant, hazy figure, she seemed to understand something.

Before she could strike first and turn these misunderstandings into a fight, the huge phantom's clenched fist suddenly moved.

At the same time, the sound of waves could be heard again.

That's a reaction from the virtual realm.

……

……

In the twilight world.

When Su Yan finished speaking those two words, her clenched fist fell forward, striking her opponent across a great distance without any apparent reason, and the battle ended there.

Akiha Harumi's body had long since reached its limit; it was no longer a perfectly formed, natural shell. As the fist landed in the void, his will emerged.

Shen Muchan stopped watching, dragging her heavily injured body, and embraced the girl who was about to fall into the sea, looking up at the sky.

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, a shadowy figure silently appeared between heaven and earth, bathed in orange-red light, exuding an aura of decay, as if it might die at any moment.

This was the same will that had occupied Akiha Harumi's body just moments before, and judging from its current frail form, it had undoubtedly reached its limit.

What puzzled Su Yan was that, apart from being weak, this phantom showed no signs of chaos and was exceptionally pure.

This was not what she had imagined.

Or rather, this is completely different from the description she heard from Gu Yuqiu.

The phantom noticed her gaze, understood why she had shown mercy and not killed him immediately, and said with emotion, "So that's what you were thinking."

Shen Muchan was slightly taken aback, wondering what this meant.

"You should understand now."

The phantom looked at Su Yan and said, "That's right, I am the Primordial One, but I cannot represent the entire Primordial One; I am only a part of it."

Su Yan was quiet for a moment, then suddenly said, "Then you become people who can be killed."

Yes, the original essence is that void ocean. As long as extraordinary power exists in this world, it cannot be killed, but this is not absolute.

If she can destroy the wills born from the sea and make the sea lose its self, then she will have killed the primordial.

This was something that should never have happened.

To destroy someone's will, the destroyer's will must be strong enough, or several levels stronger than the will of the one being destroyed.

Before leaving the divine throne, Gu Yuqiu was able to do so with the blessing of the divine kingdom, but she was no longer in the divine kingdom.

Apart from that, no one else approached.

Even someone as strong as Su Yan couldn't do that.

But things are different now, because the original did something to itself.

"This is the only option."

The phantom calmly said, "If I hadn't taken action to separate myself, allowing each will to become independent and no longer mixed together, it would have been impossible to achieve what I have now."

In its mind, the other side of itself should not be far from success; only the final step remains.

All these sacrifices are worthwhile.

Su Yan looked at it and thought of a very worthwhile question to ask, saying, "Why were you the one who stopped me?"

No matter what the plan is, facing her original self, she is destined to be the one sacrificed; there is no other way.

"because……"

The phantom sighed and said, "When it came to choosing who to face you, I failed to cheat and unfortunately lost to another version of myself, so I can only be sacrificed by myself."

Su Yan understood.

Without further doubt, she raised her hand, aimed it at the phantom's throat, grasped it from a distance, and then tightened it.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the illusory figure became even more ethereal, like a wisp of smoke that was about to disappear into the sunlight and dissipate with the wind.

This seemingly short process actually lasted for a very long time.

The phantom seemed about to vanish at any moment, yet it remained, transforming into something like a ghost.

This is the most direct confrontation of wills, and the victor will take everything from the other, whether it be memories or anything else—including all the plans for today.

Shen Muchan's face grew increasingly pale as she looked at Su Yan and said, "I can't hold on much longer."

Having spent so long unfolding the twilight world, she was already overwhelmed and exhausted to the extreme, and could collapse at any moment.

You must hold on.

Su Yan said expressionlessly, "As long as you don't fall, there will always be time."

Shen Muchan bit her lower lip, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Then hurry up."

After saying this, she closed her eyes, her pale face suddenly turning an unnatural rosy hue, and her body trembled almost imperceptibly.

Su Yan did not turn around, but continued to stare at the illusory figure, and simply hummed in response.

Shen Muchan was already fighting desperately at this point.

Controlling the flow of time is undoubtedly extremely taxing on her, and she had just gone through a life-or-death battle, leaving her severely injured.

Forcibly maintaining the existence of the twilight world at this moment, slowing down time to the point of near-freezing, in order to allow Su Yan to catch up with the other side of the real world, is extremely harmful to oneself.

More importantly... she couldn't understand why she was risking her life for Gu Yuqiu.

Unlike Su Yan, her relationship with Gu Yuqiu was not based on any mutual benefit.

She had suffered many humiliations in the past, all of which came from Gu Yuqiu, and these were things she would remember for the rest of her life.

There were many, many more reasons. In a very short time, she thought of countless reasons that made perfect sense to turn around and leave, but she never actually left.

What is this for?

Shen Muchan couldn't understand it, and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Blood slowly seeped from the corner of her lips. She kept her eyes closed, calmly enduring the pain that emanated from her soul, and then a possibility came to mind.

If all of this is wrong because she turned from hatred to love... isn't that a disgusting explanation only found in romance novels?

She opened her eyes, looked at Su Yan's profile, and said seriously, "After all this mess is over, I have a question to discuss with you."

Su Yan hummed in agreement, thinking that she should be considerate of her feelings at this moment, and asked somewhat stiffly, "What is it?"

Shen Muchan said, "Let's talk about my feelings."
