What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

In hindsight, the arrival of pine syrup doesn't change anything.

No matter how sharp those claws were, they couldn't immediately break through the sky, reach Gu Yuqiu, envelop her, and block the beam of light.

Given the white cat's rank, taking the brunt of that beam of light must have been incredibly difficult, and it would have undoubtedly faced immense pressure, even though it was still far from death.

This almost completely eliminated the possibility of the white cat saving people.

In this regard, Su Yan and Shen Hong have always shared the same opinion: they don't particularly like cats.

In a very short time, she thought about it dozens of times, watching the slowly descending pillar of light, and realized that there was no turning back.

Just then, Gu Yuqiu suddenly took a step forward.

She casually held the long sword in her right hand, the broken blade occasionally colliding with the bridge surface, making a soft sound that reached everyone's ears.

Walking against the light tinged with the colors of dusk, her cascading silver hair began to dance, complementing her beautiful face.

For some reason, a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes, as if she had found some deep-seated memories in the scene before her.

As she moved forward, everything withered more and more.

The once bright and shining bridge is now dilapidated, with cracks all over its surface and dust filling the gaps. The streetlights have long been turned off.

In the blink of an eye, countless years have passed since this bridge was built.

Only the setting sun illuminates the path ahead.

The sound of falling rocks continued, and the roads on both sides of Gu Yuqiu gradually narrowed, as if walking on a lonely cliff with an abyss beside them.

However, her steps remained firm.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. She had only taken less than ten steps, and although less than five seconds had passed, it felt as if decades or centuries had passed around her.

Su Yan covered the wound on her abdomen with her left hand, maintaining a calm expression, but her vision had already become blurred, and she could no longer see anything clearly in front of her.

This avatar should have disappeared long ago. If she hadn't insisted on it and paid an excessive price, it would have vanished like smoke long ago.

As we moved forward peacefully, the colors of dusk grew richer and richer, and the whole world transformed into an oil painting.

The painting gradually developed a serene and beautiful quality.

The only two strange things were that the white cat's claws were still causing trouble, and the sky was becoming increasingly chaotic, with countless fine cracks appearing.

Secondly... Gu Yuqiu is still moving forward.

She walked through the power of time, ignoring the hundreds of changes that spring, summer, autumn, and winter had passed, and drew ever closer to that sword's edge.

Everything happening around her seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Crimson's expression gradually became serious, her eyes became extremely complicated, and even the hand holding the sword trembled slightly, just like her voice.

"It's you?"

She looked at Gu Yuqiu and asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes."

Gu Yuqiu looked nostalgic and sighed, "As dusk settles in this world, there are no old friends at twilight... I really didn't expect to see you again so soon."

After saying this, she raised her hand and swung her sword, piercing through the deep red heart.

"At dusk, are there no familiar faces..."

Crimson spoke softly, looking down at her body, at the long sword piercing her chest, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Fresh blood spurted from the wound, mixed with tiny specks of light, like stardust.

She admired it quietly for a while, then raised her head, looked at Gu Yuqiu and said, "I should have guessed it sooner."

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "Perhaps you already have feelings for me."

"Yes."

Crimson looked into her eyes and said with complicated emotions, "I must have had a premonition, which is why I was so determined to do all this, but unfortunately I failed."

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you're not far from killing me."

If what falls now is not that beam of light, but the original sun spear, she would die unless the white cat could break through and block her way immediately.

There are no other possibilities.

However, she believed that all of this was destined from the start, otherwise why would she have been willing to step into the Crimson's trap?

She knew things would turn out this way the moment she reached an agreement with Su Yan at the hotel—Crimson would inevitably kill her through the passage of time.

Because she uttered the word "concern".

From this perspective, it is only natural that things have developed to this point, and even if there are some changes in the process, the outcome will not change.

She wasn't very good at these kinds of schemes and tricks, but fortunately, she was good at judging people, and her judgment was fairly accurate.

"Yes."

Crimson couldn't help but sigh, her eyes filled with regret.

Then she said, "There's something else I don't quite understand."

As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed the long sword piercing her chest. The splattered blood began to burn, turning from stardust into a thin mist. The scene was beautiful, like a dream.

"You don't think this is right..."

Crimson asked earnestly, "Then you can kill me, right?"

For normal people and the vast majority of superhumans, having their heart pierced directly is undoubtedly a fatal injury.

The problem is that, no matter how you analyze it, Crimson is an absolute minority, a powerful figure qualified to fight against the Innocent Queen.

More importantly, the woman appearing before Gu Yuqiu at this moment is not real, but an extension of her own will.

That sword strike wouldn't be enough to kill her.

"I never intended to kill you."

Gu Yuqiu pushed the longsword forward again, then released her hand, gently stroking her deep red cheek, and said with a smile, "Don't think so much, it will make me sad."

With this movement, Crimson's body suddenly became extremely stiff, and then began to tremble.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally calmed down and said in a cold voice, "So you think this is the end of it?"

Gu Yuqiu's smile grew even gentler as she said, "Unless you insist on courting death."

Crimson remained silent.

When the sword pierced her body, and she recognized the true identity of the person in front of her, she had already considered the possibility of dying together with him.

Unfortunately, even after performing 14,060,505 simulations in a very short period of time, she still couldn't find the only possibility in the current situation.

Gu Yuqiu asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Before Crimson could speak, she continued, "Or would you like to try and see if you can kill me?"

She was still smiling when she said this, and she exuded an inspiring power.

Crimson remained silent.

The sword was still lodged in her chest, causing her constant pain and making her brow furrow.

But she didn't care about any of that. She stared intently into Gu Yuqiu's eyes, trying to figure out whether his words were a trap or just a pretense of profundity.

After a moment, she decided to stop thinking about it and prepare to take action, no matter what the consequences might be.

Just then, Gu Yuqiu suddenly lowered his voice and said something to her.

It was as if she were revealing some unspeakable secret.

"Too late, can't kill him now."

Along with these two words came the sound of thunder.

As time passed, the twilight world had long since frozen, everything had fallen into stillness, even the wind had stopped, so why was there thunder all of a sudden?

Because it wasn't a bolt of lightning, but rather a cute cat's paw.

But a booming sound still echoed in the twilight world.

If Lin Mushi could still see things clearly at this moment, she would probably think that the cat's paw was familiar and then realize that it was the same cat that kneaded her paw.

Unfortunately, she didn't.

So no one at the scene actually saw this.

Except for deep red.

She looked up at the falling lightning, and the bewilderment and pain in her eyes gradually faded, leaving only indifference.

Only at this moment did she realize that she had made the biggest mistake, losing the chance to kill Gu Yuqiu with her own hands.

Previously, she had used her own abilities to perform tens of millions of simulations in a very short period of time, finding almost all the possibilities. This is true.

But she subconsciously forgot one thing.

The person she feared and revered no longer bore the surname Huai; his given name had been changed to the inexplicable Gu Yuqiu.

The person she was deducing was still the same person from before, not the current Gu Yuqiu.

If even the most crucial prerequisites are wrong, how could she possibly arrive at the correct result?

Thinking of this, Crimson suddenly asked, "Was this also part of your calculations?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

That's the truth; she's never been a hypocrite and rarely lies about these kinds of things.

A second before the white lightning struck, countless messages were exchanged, completed in the midst of their eye contact.

“You can’t hide forever. Today I’ve discovered your true identity, and then others will keep discovering it until this secret is no longer a secret. I can already see that day coming.”

"Then?"

"Everyone in this world will come to kill you because of what you have done. I look forward to the day when you become an enemy of the whole world."

"The whole world is my enemy... Don't you think it's a bit incongruous to have such a passionate story like this happening to me?"

"It is indeed unsuitable. After all, it is rare to see someone as cold-blooded and ruthless as you. But you have no choice at all, because you cannot escape this world."
