A hint of astonishment flashed through the depths of Gu Qingyang's eyes. He froze on the spot and allowed the thunder to engulf him again and give him another baptism.
During this process, he did not forget to protect the soul light in his hand to prevent it from being shattered by thunder.
"Chu Xiuwei, you're not dead—"
Soon, Gu Qingyang began to recall what happened not long ago while muttering to himself.
At that time, Shijia put Chu Xiuwei's remnant soul in front of him to threaten him.
The result Shijia wants is for him to completely stop, give up the path he chose, and move towards the so-called light.
He remembered that he resolutely chose the ruthless path, and he bit the soul pearl into pieces in front of Shi Jia and Wu Shanhe.
Then, he performed another feat of "refining" his soul in front of those two people. The scene at that time was absolutely real.
How real can it be?
Anyway, it was so true that even he himself thought that he had destroyed Chu Xiuwei's remaining soul, and that this miserable woman had been completely destroyed.
But it was only now, when he saw the soul of this miserable woman again, that he suddenly remembered that his mood at that time was greatly fluctuated.
Even though he was prepared in advance, his mortal nature seemed to wake up for a moment, and thus his Zhiqingdao personality woke up for a moment.
Just a moment, just a moment.
For Shijia and Wu Shanhe, that brief moment was just a moment, a moment that was too late to do anything.
But for Gu Qingyang at that time, one moment was enough for him to accomplish many things.
For example, let him make a change for himself.
Yes, his other personality replaced the remnant soul of Chu Xiuwei in front of his main personality at that time.
But now, as he has deduced his own Tao to the extreme, the mortal nature deep in his life bones has revived again, and it has fully recovered.
In this way, his two personalities, ruthless and affectionate, have completed a complete fusion invisibly.
Suddenly, many memories began to flow towards Gu Qingyang like a tide.
Gu Qingyang was stunned for a moment, firstly because he did not expect that Chu Xiuwei was still alive.
Second, it's because he has to digest the memory impact of two personalities on him.
Otherwise, in today's urgent situation, it would not be a good thing if he lost control.
"So this is ah--"
After sorting out the cause and effect, Gu Qingyang couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. He had some regrets.
It was clearly him who promised Chu Xiuwei that he could give Chu Xiuwei a new life and let her live a normal life.
Maybe it's because of the tricks of fate, or maybe it's because of the deliberate arrangement of heaven.
In the end, Chu Xiuwei not only failed to live as he thought, but was hurt again. By the time he found out, it was already too late.
Later, he went through all kinds of hardships and finally had a chance to protect her soul, and he was about to send her into reincarnation.
But she wanted to die...
From that moment on, he felt deeply remorseful and guilty for this incident. Because he knew that these were the consequences of his breaking his promise.
So he finally satisfied Chu Xiuwei.
Even though... the request she made was so unreasonable and so extreme. He still agreed to her and sent her on her way.
At first, all he wanted was redemption.
But as time goes by, he seems to be drifting away from his original intention! Not only did he fail to save her, he actually killed her.
After that incident, Chu Xiuwei, a woman with whom he had not had much interaction, became a lingering pain in his heart.
Only now did he understand that all that was actually caused by his hesitation.
Regarding Chu Xiuwei, no matter whether he chose the ruthless way to deal with it at the beginning or the most affectionate way to deal with it.
As long as he followed the path he chose, nothing would happen later.
From a ruthless point of view, he would definitely not save Chu Xiuwei, and Chu Xiuwei would naturally not be able to affect his state of mind because of his promise.
Of course, this presupposes that he is ruthless enough.
From the perspective of Zhiqingdao, he would definitely save Chu Xiuwei, and it should be the best way to save Chu Xiuwei.
With his ability, at that time, he could give her a better inheritance of magical powers and send her away... There were many things he could have done, but he just didn't do them.
Her existence is simply the greatest interpretation of his sin of tenderness.
It was because of that so-called "tenderness" that he wanted to save her, and because of the indifference hidden in that tenderness, he destroyed her.
…
"Can I send you to reincarnation?"
"Just think of it as me begging you. Stop begging for death. I've already killed you once and I don't want to kill you a second time."
"I also hope that you can live a good life like a rose, and live as a rose in your own world."
Looking at the flashing light in his hand, Gu Qingyang's eyes turned red from unknown time.
But this time, when Gu Qingyang spoke again, his voice lacked the majesty that a generation of emperors should have. His tone was calm and gentle.
Even Gu Qingyang himself didn't notice that he looked very much like him at this moment.
Back then, on the Zhongzhou prairie, he had begged Gu Qingying to live well alone.
His thought at the time was that he was gone and he just wanted his sister to be alive and well. The idea is that simple.
Now after another comparison, he has exactly the same attitude towards Chu Xiuwei. They are completely the same.
"Buzz——"
However, the light spot in Chu Xiuwei's soul was always flickering, as if to express her protest against Gu Qingyang's words.
A series of humming sounds sounded, becoming more and more urgent as time went by. It kept ringing until the end.
Gu Qingyang was silent.
His mood is very complicated now, with joy and pain in his emotions. He was happy that she finally stopped asking for death.
What pained him was that she actually asked him to sacrifice her to the Heavenly Lock. She was going to challenge that Weapon Spirit's position!
He knew very well that there was nothing good about becoming that so-called weapon spirit. If things don't go well, don't we still have to live under the control of heaven?
He didn't want to see such a thing.
But Chu Xiuwei seemed to have made up her mind to leave. In just a moment, she controlled her soul light to fly up automatically and smeared on the lock of the sky.
"You girl, you-"
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingyang was shocked and even screamed out in surprise. But that faint soul light has completely disappeared.
He could no longer completely separate Tianzhisuo and Chu Xiuwei. At this moment, he could only do his best to help Chu Xiuwei succeed.
As a result, the problem that Gu Qingyang wanted to solve the most was solved under such a scene.
However, it seems that this duel has not officially begun until this moment.
Gu Qingyang himself knew that everything had just begun, just the beginning. His transformation is only proceeding in accordance with the situation.
However, soon, as his consciousness slowly immersed into his inner world, he saw the figure of the woman.
That was Chu Xiuwei, and she was standing at the end of his inner world at this moment. When he looked at her, she was standing with her hands behind her hands, turning her head sideways and smiling at him.
"You said you would never let me go again."
