She endured the entire conversation without uttering a curse, and said coldly, "I don't think I would like someone like that. Can you tolerate my insults?"
Gu Yuqiu's tone was indifferent: "I was talking about hypotheticals."
"If only..."
Lin Mushi took a deep breath, thought it over seriously, looked up to meet her gaze, and calmly asked, "Is the person I like really guilty?"
Gu Yuqiu said, "She once thought about destroying humanity, and she really had the ability to do so, and she did it, but she gave up in the end."
When she said this, her tone was no longer casual; it was unusually serious.
Lin Mushi turned and looked towards the end of the bar.
There was a floor-to-ceiling window, and the night rain had not yet stopped, with countless thin streams running down the windows.
The neon lights that came from afar have faded in color, but the feeling they evoked has intensified.
The lingering trickle of water on the window reflects a thousand images of her.
She looked at a thousand versions of herself, at the deepest, identical look of confusion in her eyes, but still couldn't find the answer.
"If I really like it..."
She closed her eyes, no longer looking at herself, and whispered, "Then I'll pretend I didn't hear anything, act as if nothing happened, and know nothing."
Gu Yuqiu watched her retreating figure and said, "Is this meant to protect that person?"
Lin Mushi hummed in agreement.
She continued, "But this is just my current thought. People change, and I can't stay the same forever."
Gu Yuqiu said, "People are selfish too."
Lin Mushi thought this was obvious, but she was happy to continue the conversation and said, "If people were not selfish, wouldn't they become saints?"
Gu Yuqiu chuckled and said, "But what we want is to become gods, not saints."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of rain suddenly became clear.
Lin Mushi thought something had happened and turned around to look.
Looking back, the girl on the high stool had already disappeared.
Gu Yuqiu left.
Lin Mushi looked blankly at the quiet place for a long time.
For some reason, she felt a deep sense of loss and stood there for a very long time.
It wasn't until her colleagues, who hadn't received a response, finally arrived and broke down the door that she snapped out of her daze and looked out the window at the increasingly intense wind and rain.
The rain shows no sign of stopping.
Her heart was constantly in turmoil.
……
……
If you close your eyes, it will be dark; if you close your ears, there will be no thunder.
The path pointed to by the Scroll of Sleeping is to replace everything with one's own mind; nothing in the universe can escape it, and life, death, illusion, and destruction all depend on a single thought.
Gu Yuqiu was not interested in this.
Because this is just wishful thinking.
If such power truly existed, why would the Lord of the Sleeping God have died, lingered on as an ancient god, and ultimately been killed by her and the Pope millions of years later?
More importantly, what she wanted was the way back, not this life-or-death situation.
Otherwise, why would she have wasted so much time to get to where she is today?
Her expression gradually calmed down, and she ignored all the images.
Even though the eaves that had sheltered her from the rain came into her view again, Lin Mushi walked in the rain with an umbrella, her eyes full of exhaustion, already overwhelmed.
Even as the flames of war reignited and chaos ensued, keeping Su Yan busy running around, she became exhausted and trapped in the situation, suffering serious injuries and nearly dying.
Even though the Old God's gaze emerged from the darkness and fell upon Crimson, coveting and wanting to possess her.
Later, all the images disappeared.
Time is best at destroying what you read.
Gu Yuqiu stood in the void, with only one thing in front of her.
It was a black hole.
At its edge, there was an extremely brilliant golden light.
Such a bright torrent of light, yet none of it could cross that boundary, so that the colors became distinctly separate, creating a unique beauty.
This is, of course, a black hole.
Even gods cannot defeat something that can devour even time itself; they can only remain silent and learn to ignore it.
Gu Yuqiu was very familiar with it.
Not long ago, she traveled the entire universe as a soul, using death as a rope to search high and low, witnessing the rise and fall and extinction of countless races.
She once destroyed a planet just to verify some not-so-interesting speculations, thus satisfying her own curiosity.
She also visited the sleeping Old Gods, negotiated with them, and obtained a satisfactory result.
She has also witnessed countless planets reach the end of their lives, burning out and never shining again.
However, when she finally arrived at this giant black hole, she stood quietly for a long time, but she couldn't take another step forward. She simply turned around and left in silence.
Now she has come here again, but she is still one step away from becoming a god.
Winter is over...
Gu Yuqiu looked at the unseen place, a genuine smile appearing on her face, and murmured to herself, "Can spring be far behind?"
After saying that, she took that step forward.
In a single step, they traversed countless miles and entered the black hole.
Compared to a black hole, she is like an ant, too small to be seen.
In the blink of an eye, everything had vanished.
The universe remains silent, yet song and dance continue endlessly.
Whoever becomes a god will remain eternally so, until that end arrives.
……
……
Gu Yuqiu opened her eyes.
The thick fog lingered, obscuring all scenery, making darkness and light invisible.
High above, the vast, empty sea still flows, seemingly unchanged, yet it evokes a sense of exhilaration.
It's like celebrating the birth of something great.
Gu Yuqiu didn't even glance at it.
She finds it hard to be interested in things she's already seen.
Yes, she has become a god once again.
The moment she chose to step into the black hole and travel to a place she had never been before was the moment she ascended to the throne of God.
This time seemed much less interesting than the last.
Gu Yuqiu sensed her current state, her gaze falling on that perfect body, and thought of a rather uninteresting question.
How should I present myself to people?
Suddenly a gust of wind came and dispersed the fog.
The surrounding scenery was completely unobstructed and incredibly clear.
A mirror appeared out of thin air, and Gu Yuqiu frowned slightly as she looked at herself in it.
The reason she frowned was, of course, because she realized that she really wasn't pretty.
Although this beauty is judged by the standard of the complete body, it is not objective enough.
She hesitated for a long time, but finally reached out and grabbed some water from the air. She simply washed her face to make herself feel refreshed, and then gave up.
She raised her hand, drawing the body into the void under her control, and then snapped her fingers.
A crisp sound.
The wind rises, the clouds surge, and the fog dissipates.
When the fog dissipates, if time were to reverse, countless collapsed high-rise buildings would stand again, just as they were before their destruction.
The vast, empty sea trembled violently, as if unwilling to leave, but after a moment the tide receded, leaving behind a clear sky, just like after a heavy snowfall.
When the fog wall collapsed like an avalanche, revealing everything to the people, Gu Yuqiu had already found a seat.
It was a café on a street corner, with a huge parasol, and she was sitting on the edge, with a steaming cup of coffee in front of her.
The coffee shop behind was completely empty.
Before long, the commotion caused by the disappearance of the illusory realm finally turned into a wave of sound and reached her ears.
She didn't find it noisy at all. She squinted her eyes contentedly, leaned back, and rocked back and forth in the chair.
"You still act so inexplicably. When will you be willing to discuss things with others instead of making decisions on your own?"
A chilling voice reached her ears.
Gu Yuqiu rocked back and forth in her chair, saying lazily, "Next time."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan, contrary to her usual behavior, did not get angry and remained inexplicably calm.
Strangely, the important figures standing around them became uneasy, watching the two of them nervously, wondering if they would be killed to silence them for witnessing such a thing.
This idea may seem illogical, but it is actually quite true.
It is common knowledge that Gu Yuqiu is extremely arrogant and does not tolerate disobedience.
