Fifth Shanhe stood there, watching this scene quietly. He was really hesitating whether to approach Gu Qingyang or not.
He knew Gu Qingyang's strength, and it was for this reason that he hesitated at this time.
He was worried that... Gu Qingyang would be like this because there was something wrong with Gu Qingyang's state of mind. He was afraid that Gu Qingyang would no longer be able to distinguish between friend and foe.
If this is the case, it would be better for him not to get close to Gu Qingyang.
But no matter how you look at it, Gu Qingyang behaved extremely calmly during the battle, and he didn't look like he had lost his mind.
But if Gu Qingyang wanted to kill him, the most he could do was make Gu Qingyang seriously injured. Eventually, he will die.
He was not afraid of pure death.
He was only afraid that he would die in the hands of his friends.
Even though they seemed to have clear boundaries along the way, in fact, he had long been moved by Gu Qingyang invisibly.
Even if Gu Qingyang didn't regard him as a friend, he already regarded Gu Qingyang as his friend. So he doesn't want that to happen.
If he lived his whole life and died like this in the end, he would only feel extremely aggrieved.
However, the Gu Qingyang in front of him made him feel extremely strange.
He felt that the Gu Qingyang in front of him and the original Gu Qingyang were not the same person at all.
Although the original Gu Qingyang acted more crazy, no matter how you look at it, the original Gu Qingyang was a kind and righteous person.
It can be said that Gu Qingyang has always been a real person in his eyes, a sincere person with flesh and blood and soul.
But now——
The most affectionate person in his eyes actually began to tear the enemy's body to pieces in the "most primitive way" and then devour it.
That technique looked really clean and neat, as if the same thing had been done countless times in the past.
He felt that the current Gu Qingyang was not a living "real person" at all, but a "wild beast" in human form.
That violent way of eating really opened his eyes and made him feel unfamiliar to Gu Qingyang like never before.
But right now.
Gu Qingyang's voice also suddenly sounded:
"Don't be surprised."
"In order to survive this snake lake, but also to become stronger. I did one thing and made a choice."
"You can understand it as, I choose to be who I used to be. I choose to be the scariest version of myself. This is the only way to survive."
"I know exactly what my path is."
"In your eyes, or in the eyes of others. My enemies may always be those who provoke me, or other creatures."
"But only myself and those who really know me know that my enemy should be the real master of this world."
"The way of heaven."
"Rumble--"
Sure enough, just when Gu Qingyang was chewing the flesh and blood, he revealed the truth and said those two taboo words.
Thunder boomed.
Just for a moment, Wu Shanhe, who heard the thunder, was stunned on the spot. Although Fifth Shanhe had understood something very early on.
But at this moment, Gu Qingyang said this, coupled with the sudden appearance of the sky, his state of mind was still greatly shocked.
It wasn't until this moment, when he heard Gu Qingyang's words, that he finally began to feel that he had really entered Gu Qingyang's world.
However, when the thunder roared, Gu Qingyang just devoured the flesh and blood. He's just doing what he wants to do.
"A long time ago, I discovered the truth. Because of this, I was charged with an unfounded crime by a certain guy."
"That guy bound me with an unprecedented crime, and wanted all living beings to kill me. It prepared a killing plan for me."
“It succeeded and it failed.”
"It was successful because I was already dead. It failed because I still exist now."
"I can't tell you what the truth I discovered is. If you want to know, then you can figure it out yourself."
"What I can tell you is that that guy has no way of killing me right now through what it calls normal means."
"So it just has to find another way."
"Hehehehehehahahahaha——"
"Boom!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa -"
Speaking of this, Gu Qingyang suddenly swallowed all the flesh and blood in his mouth, and then laughed wantonly. At the same time, lightning also appeared deep in the sky.
But Gu Qingyang's laughter was louder than the thunder. In just a few seconds, it spread far and wide.
Rain also fell from the sky at this moment.
The rain came in heavy torrents, and the two of them were soaked in water in just a moment. Gu Qingyang's body was even covered with blood.
Coupled with the injuries Gu Qingyang accumulated in the battle, Gu Qingyang looked really miserable at this moment.
But Fifth Mountain and River doesn’t think so.
It rained, but he didn't leave. He was just looking at Gu Qingyang quietly. At this moment, he already knew that Gu Qingyang was still awake.
Just for this reason, he had made up his mind not to leave. The world of Gu Qingyang is mysterious and full of unknowns.
His intuition was telling him that if he continued to listen to Gu Qingyang's words, he would definitely suffer many dangerous things.
Even losing your life for this kind of thing is possible.
But he still wasn't going to leave because he found that he just didn't want to leave.
To be more precise, it should be that he didn't want to leave any regrets in his own life.
From a very early age, he secretly told himself that one should not have too many regrets in life.
He... longs for excitement.
He wants to live a wonderful life and witness countless wonderful things. This is part of his spiritual path and a belief deep in his heart.
And now——
The excitement he longed for, an unprecedented excitement, was right in front of him. If he turned away, he might be safe.
Even if he works hard enough in a certain direction in the future, he can make his life smooth. This leads to a rather perfect life.
But that's not what he wants.
So he never turned around, he just looked and waited. He was looking at Gu Qingyang, and he wanted to see clearly the young man in front of him.
However...the rain this time was really too heavy. He couldn't see the young man's appearance clearly, and his vision was blurry.
But it should be easy to tell from the chewing sounds that would come from time to time that Gu Qingyang was still eating.
So he had to wait, wait for Gu Qingyang to speak again, wait for the master of that mysterious world to personally reveal the curtain of that mysterious world to him.
Finally, while the heavy rain was still falling, Gu Qingyang suddenly stopped eating, and then said in an extremely calm tone:
"I don't know what other people's paths are."
“All I know is that my path is destined to be crazy.”
"The so-called Tao gives rise to one, which gives birth to two, which gives birth to three, and which gives rise to all things. This is a mantra of the Great Dao that many bone cultivators have heard."
"When I have reached this level of cultivation, I can proudly say that I am the Tao. My Tao can be very simple, or it can evolve into all things."
"My oneness is nothingness."
"My two are gods and demons."
"My three are gods, demons, and mortals."
"After three, there will be no limit to the ten thousand ways."
"Originally, I really wanted to take the path of true love and true nature. They all say that the road and love are like fish and bear's paws and you cannot have both."
"I decided that as long as I was shameless enough, I could have it all. And I can indeed do it. I have such potential."
"But my opponent is too cruel."
"I know that if I continue like this, I will definitely be destroyed because of love. So it doesn't matter if I become a god or a devil."
"I have decided that before I am strong enough, I will seal away my emotions and my mortal nature."
"In this case, I will no longer be a mortal. I will follow the instinctive laws of evolution and survival of living creatures and grow crazily."
"So now I'm ruthless."
"Before the matter comes to an end, I will only have a moment to return to my mortal nature and have emotions for a short time when my life bones transform."
"The body of this big snake can indeed be considered a good thing. By eating it, I can get the essence of its flesh and blood, which will slightly transform the life bones."
"This is also the reason why I can say these words in a ruthless state. As long as the transformation of my life bones is completed, I will become a stranger again."
"So, I want to give you a chance to choose again. You can choose to leave, or you can choose to stay."
"But whether you leave or stay, I ask you not to have any true feelings anymore, because I will never be the same as before when I step into the ruthless path."
…
Having said this, Gu Qingyang said nothing more. He made his words very clear, and even revealed the secret of why Heaven could not kill him.
Of course, whether Wu Shanhe can know such a secret depends on Wu Shanhe's understanding. If the fifth mountain and river has enough understanding, they will know it.
If the understanding is not enough, it can only mean that the Fifth Mountain and River still has no connection with those secrets.
But Fifth Shanhe understood all what Gu Qingyang meant.
Gu Qingyang's general meaning is that now he has put down all emotions and turned into a monster without emotional fluctuations.
Unless the life bone transforms, the mortal nature of his life bone itself will not be revived.
Without the revival of mortal nature, Gu Qingyang is the ruthless practitioner.
In an absolutely ruthless state, what Gu Qingyang cared about most was cultivation and becoming stronger. How to grow at the fastest speed.
Logically speaking, the fact that Gu Qingyang has become like this means that Gu Qingyang will definitely improve his cultivation at an extremely terrifying speed.
As a companion, Fifth Shanhe really should leave.
Otherwise, if Gu Qingyang, who is no longer a reliable backup, does not help him when he is in crisis in the future, he will definitely die on the battlefield.
Fifth Shanhe hesitated.
He is not the kind of irrational person, he knows that leaving is the right thing. Only in this way can Gu Qingyang practice with an absolutely self-interested attitude.
But whether it was for personal feelings or for spiritual practice, he should not leave. For the former, he already has true feelings in his heart.
For the latter, he had sworn an oath.
Should he... really leave Gu Qingyang?
Thinking about it later, he looked not far away. In the heavy rain, Gu Qingyang was still like that, devouring flesh and blood.
