A voice suddenly appeared in the depths of Gu Qingyang's mind. Gu Qingyang recognized it as the voice of the old man in front of him.
However, the other party was not speaking to him with his spiritual consciousness. Instead, he burned his own soul and uttered this last whisper with the power of his soul.
Therefore... Gu Qingyang listened extremely seriously.
After saying the last sentence, some memory fragments appeared as the voice disappeared, breaking into the depths of Gu Qingyang's mind.
Obviously, the experience of the mysterious old man Shui Dongliu cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Therefore, he could only try his best to send away the memory fragments.
In this case, combined with what he just said, the matter can be made clear.
Gu Qingyang just listened and digested the memory fragments after listening to all the words.
After a long period of time, he vaguely understood the whole story.
It turns out... Shui Dongliu is the only supreme elder of the Donghai family, and the Shui family is only a third-rank force.
At least that's how it is in Shui Dongliu's memory.
Shui Dongliu himself didn't know what the Shui family looked like now and what level of power it had become.
The Shui family is divided into two lines, one is the direct line and the other is the collateral line. The little girl Coral next to him is the last descendant of his direct line.
Many years ago, news came from the Shui family that the current situation within the family had changed drastically, and that someone from the side line wanted to eliminate the entire direct line.
Because they were well prepared in advance, those people from the sidelines were actually successful.
It's just that... Shui Dongliu was able to escape the disaster because he was taking Coral and Coral's parents out.
After learning such news, Shui Dongliu was naturally furious. Prepare to go back immediately to quell the rebellion of the side tribesmen.
But at that time, people from the side sect had united many big forces to work together, so even if he went back, it would probably not help.
Therefore, Shuidongliu was prepared to cultivate corals at the very beginning.
Coral's talent must be good, and he was looking forward to the day when Coral would awaken his life bone.
It didn't take long for the major forces to start hunting them down.
The first to die were Coral's parents, followed by him. As for Coral... because she hasn't awakened her life bone, no one cares about her.
When the rebellion broke out in the Shui family, the news of the birth of Coral had not yet spread back. Therefore, the Shuijia people did not know the existence of coral.
After that, the pursuit of whoever went to the east continued one after another.
It wasn't until later, when those people were sure that Shui Dongliu was dead, that they were willing to really stop.
This incident became Shui Dongliu's obsession. The family was turned upside down overnight... Of course Shui Dongliu wanted to take the little girl Coral for revenge.
It's a pity that Shui Dongliu is not that powerful. So even though he was dead, Shui Dongliu was still struggling to hold on.
"Well--"
When Gu Qingyang came back to his senses, he saw that Shui Dongliu's body had completely turned into ashes and disappeared. The only thing left now is Shui Dongliu's soul.
Perhaps due to the use of secret techniques such as the soul, Shui Dongliu's soul has become infinitely weak.
Gu Qingyang could tell with just one glance that his soul was slowly dissipating.
He does have many soul methods that he can use. Not to mention completely saving lives, it is still okay to reluctantly let Shui Dongliu's soul exist for a while.
However, when he looked at Shui Dongliu, he could only see desire from the depths of his eyes. It is the desire for liberation.
"wrong--"
Gu Qingyang raised his hand to use the soul method. His first reaction was to save Shui Dongliu. But he soon realized something was wrong.
Because Shuidongliu itself is a pure waterway bone cultivator. Apart from waterway, Shuidongliu does not know any other means of cultivation.
Therefore, where did his Soul Dao methods come from? How could Shui Dongliu know methods related to Soul Dao?
This is the biggest doubt.
While Gu Qingyang was thinking, he silently deduced his soul path method to bind Shui Dongliu's soul.
He didn't mind having one more cause and effect, but he did mind that this cause and effect was all doubtful. He didn't have much time to answer questions.
Therefore, he can only use the most useful method.
The ultimate move in the soul path - searching for souls.
Looking at the soul in his hand that was longing for relief, Gu Qingyang launched this cruel and inhumane method on it after thinking for a moment.
He knew this was bad, but in order to obtain more accurate information, he could only do this. The current situation is just as he imagined.
He had no time to worry about anything anymore.
It might not be long before the people sent by the various Daoist authorities to kill him will catch up with him. Until then, all he can do is fight.
He is a person who values commitment and is also a serious person. He can help Shui Dongliu deliver the coral to Shui's home.
But he wanted to ensure that there was no problem with the Shui family.
Therefore, he had to get to know the so-called Shui family first, but what surprised him was that despite his efforts, he still didn't get any news.
Shui Dongliu is the supreme elder of the Shui family, but he doesn't know much about the so-called Shui family? This made Gu Qingyang's eyes look strange.
But the strangeness in his eyes quickly disappeared.
Gu Qingyang sensed a memory, that was Shui Dongliu's memory. It's about things related to the first few wars.
It turns out that the secret method of the soul path in Shui Dongliu was left by his enemies, and the purpose was to eat away at Shui Dongliu's soul step by step.
Shui Dongliu did not rely on that method to preserve his soul at all, but was always fighting a life-and-death struggle with that method.
In these years, whenever Shui Dongliu failed once, he would immediately face the consequences of his soul being shattered.
"The enemy's tactics?"
“What is true is also false when it is false.”
“When the truth is false, the false is also true.”
"snort."
"What is the truth?"
"What is the truth?"
"Who can see clearly?"
…
Thinking about it, Gu Qingyang had two guesses about the matter in front of him not long ago.
His first guess was that everything Shui Dongliu said was true. As for memory, it is lost because of the destruction of the soul.
His second guess was that everything he saw was fake and was a trap set up by the Supreme Heaven and its supporters.
Even though everything he saw was real.
But he has always been a sober man.
Just because he has kindness in his heart doesn't mean that he will be like some kind-hearted guys who easily trust others.
Anyway, that's how he treats Shui Dongliu. No matter what the other person says, he will only choose to believe his own heart.
What he saw, what he heard...
All of this may be false. However, he was willing to take Coral to the East China Sea, as it happened to be on the way.
"call--"
White flames emerged and instantly enveloped Shui Dongliu's broken soul. Soon, the flame turned from white to blood red.
Under such burning fire, Shui Dongliu's soul quickly disappeared. Gu Qingyang used his method to send Shui Dongliu to the underworld.
After completing these things, Gu Qingyang directly focused on the coral.
He looked at the little guy who suddenly broke into his field of vision with great interest.
He was thinking about what kind of mentality he should use to face her next.
To say that he cared about this little guy was not accurate. Because he really doesn't care much about this little thing.
He didn't have much feelings for her. To him, she was more like a place for his emotions, like a substitute.
Compared to sending her to the Shui family, he actually had a better solution.
That is to kill the coral immediately and let the coral's soul enter reincarnation.
In this way, it is natural to start a new life again, and it can be regarded as completely getting rid of this period of cause and effect full of blood and tears.
But Gu Qingyang can't guarantee that after reincarnation, Coral will not live as miserable as now. Human destiny is fickle.
"I'll give you two choices."
"The first choice is to start a new life. I can make you become another person or even another creature."
“That way you can get rid of everything you have now and have something else as part of your new life.”
"The second option is to accept the fate assigned to you by your grandfather, go to a place you don't like, and be someone you don't want to be."
…
After a moment of silence, Gu Qingyang finally spoke.
He perfectly outlined the reality in an extremely calm tone. In just a few words, the young girl understood everything.
Gu Qingyang had been staring at this little girl while he was talking. He was looking forward to it and wanted to see what kind of choice the other party would make.
He knows very well what this world is like.
Actually... there were some words that he still didn't say clearly when he spoke.
That's the thing about reincarnation. Reentering reincarnation seems to be a kind of relief.
But in fact... no one can guarantee that it won't be the beginning of another nightmare.
No one can guarantee what he will become after going through reincarnation. After reincarnation, he may indeed be able to soar into the sky.
But there is a high probability that he will fall into hell again and continue to live in darkness. But this is the truth of reincarnation, the result of the nature of the world.
This is not something that people can change casually.
If you want to solve this problem, you have to see whether the world will change. Unless his ideals come true and the world becomes like his ideals.
"I...choose the second option."
"Although I don't know what that choice means, since it is what grandpa means, then I am willing to believe him."
After a while, Coral mustered up the courage to look at Gu Qingyang and gave her answer in a rather firm tone.
Hearing this, Gu Qingyang laughed.
While laughing, Gu Qingyang put his hand on her head and stroked the top of her head. Instead of killing her, he placed a defensive restraint on her.
At the same time, figures appeared one after another. A closer look revealed that there must be around eighty or ninety people appearing this time.
