In this world, there were so many people who wanted to kill him that he couldn't even remember their names. All he knew was that it was his enemy.
It’s still this world. There are too few people who truly like him and love him, so few that every such person deserves to be remembered by him.
A long time ago, when he helped Chu Xiuwei, he just thought that he had done a good thing.
At that time, he didn't expect anything in return.
From that moment on, he began to feel that if one day he could see Chu Xiuwei receive the new life he expected, that would be the best reward.
But he really didn't expect that his help to Chu Xiuwei would be destroyed by the Chu family. Since then, the girl's already miserable life has become even more miserable.
When he responded to Chu Xiuwei's request... he followed the other party's desire to seek relief and destroyed the other party's soul with his own hands.
From that moment on, there was a scar in his heart.
The meaning of that scar might be pure hatred... He hated himself for not being strong enough and hating himself for not being able to reverse the situation.
Or perhaps, he hates that the world he lives in is too cold and ruthless, and the misfortunes of the poor are so many, which is really depressing...
He originally thought that he would kill Chu Xiuwei with his own hands and destroy the other person's soul with his own hands... If he did it to this extent, they would never meet again.
Facts have proved that what he thought was simple.
Until later...before he passed through his eighth realm of killing, Shijia came, imprisoned him with a group of people, and brought her remnant soul.
From that moment on, there were some mysterious changes in his state of mind. But under the circumstances, he himself couldn't notice it.
Moreover, when he was faced with the two choices of "giving Chu Xiuwei a chance of life" and "owning his own path," he chose the latter.
Looking at it from the devil's perspective, it was indeed the right choice for him to make that choice at that time, because a devil shouldn't have too many weaknesses.
For demons, if there are too many weaknesses, they will actually harm others and themselves.
But such behavior was wrong in the eyes of the incarnation of mortal nature in his heart. It really went against the great path of mortal nature that he had comprehended.
Perhaps it was also for this reason that his own character set up a trap for himself, allowing him to successfully save her without knowing it.
Since then, it has been out of control.
Because of the changes in the Eighth Level Killing Tribulation, Chu Xiuwei's remnant soul dedicated everything she had to him. She was willing to become a weapon spirit, and she was even more willing to die at the hands of heaven.
The more interactions he has with her, the more he owes her. This is also the reason why he later said thank you after meeting Wei Jiuling.
Although the person he saw was not the real Gu Qingying, Wei Jiuling did not appear in that way to harm him.
And what he said at that time was indeed his true words, and he really wanted to say thank you.
Since the meeting just now, his mood has changed subtly again.
Although he cannot foresee the results that this change may bring to him, he believes that...if everything goes well, he will be in a better mood.
Such a result was enough to make him extremely satisfied.
For this reason, he also realized that maybe he unknowingly regarded Chu Xiuwei... no, it should be Wei Jiuling, and he regarded her as a family member.
As a man who has truly stood on top of the world, he has a thorough understanding of human nature, including the human heart.
He knows very well——
What people in this world lack most of the time is a sincerity. Chu Xiuwei's life was difficult, but she was also a simple person.
Even though they only met a few times in the beginning, through the first night of companionship, he could already feel the simplicity of her personality.
He knew very well that she was a girl who longed for warmth.
In fact... the biggest problem in Chu Xiuwei's heart at first was not the hatred, but her own heart longing for warmth.
The reason why she desires revenge is because she has determined that it was the source of this hatred that killed her mother and made her mother unwilling to live anymore.
At that time, she felt that if she died in vain, she would be sorry for her mother.
If possible, even if it is many years later, she should still want to get a chance to say a word to her mother again.
That is--
"Mom, can you love me again?"
Most of the suffering she suffered came from her beastly father.
Compared to others, all the warmth in her life comes from her mother.
She lost her mother when she was ten years old, but fortunately he appeared six years later. He brought some light to her night-like life.
It's him.
It's him!
It was he who told her that she didn't have to live so hard for hatred, she could try to change herself and welcome a new life.
For millions of people in the world, the feeling of being illuminated may be different.
But for her at that time, the feeling of being illuminated must have been warm.
Gu Qingyang was convinced that even if Chu Xiuwei had become Wei Jiuling, the current Wei Jiuling would still remember the original scene.
The night ended and the dawn broke... At that time, because of his appearance, her gloomy life finally came to an end.
At that time, the world ushered in its own dawn.
And she, who has always been walking silently in the desert of life, has ushered in the dawn and enjoyed the feeling of being illuminated.
such a pity--
How great would it be if the marriage didn't happen? Gu Qingyang believed that with this girl's abilities, she would be able to live a very good life.
Unfortunately--
Everything has changed now, and even Chu Xiuwei is no longer in this world. Now, only Wei Jiuling is left in the world.
With the surname Wei, after nine calamities, she finally became a unique creature in the world, and was finally able to fulfill her ultimate ideal of life in another way.
For such a girl, it would be unreasonable if he no longer cared about her.
Of course...he himself knew that this girl still had some admiration for him.
Otherwise, when they first met again, even if he recognized the wrong person, she would not feed him her blood in such an ambiguous way.
However... the situation at that time was indeed quite complicated. Even if he thought about it carefully, he would still feel that everything was a mistake.
But after all, he still has no love for this girl on a male-female level. He can love her and protect her.
Because he can treat her as a sister.
But he just couldn't love her. As a person with a great state of mind, he knew very well that his liking for Wei Jiuling could not be regarded as love.
But even so, his love for Wei Jiuling was enough to support him in choosing her at this time.
nowadays--
His souls and those of all the creatures on that battlefield should have been pulled into a special space.
Regarding this special space, he understood it as the result of the evolution of Tiandao's killing move.
He didn't think that the waterfall-like skylight that day would be useless.
And the facts have proved that his idea is obviously right.
This is indeed the evolution result of Tiandao's killing move. Its function is to create a space where the soul can only be pulled and sucked in.
In this way, only the soul exists in this space. If you want to kill a person by destroying the soul, it will be easy.
A soul without the protection of a body is like an insect that has lost its exoskeleton. It is extremely weak and cannot have any great power at all.
Gu Qingyang knew that he was a real exception, but now, it was no longer the time for him to act arbitrarily.
In the past, he may indeed have been able to bear the cost of failure.
But now, he definitely does not have this ability.
Because the two guys, Supreme Sky and Zi Zi Tian, could make countless mistakes and fail, but he really couldn't lose even once.
For him... losing means absolute death. If you lose, there will be no possibility of continuing to practice.
The Supreme Heaven and the Free Heaven have been looking for ways to destroy him. Now, they have created this space soul realm through the evolution of the laws of the great road.
That means that in this space soul realm, there may indeed be ways and means to destroy emperor-level souls, and there may even be mature back-up methods.
What the High Heavens are best at is scheming people, using various methods, using various means... As long as it works out, it's right.
"call--"
Exhaling gently, Gu Qingyang used his own soul to release his perception and began to search for Wei Jiuling in the vast sea of souls.
With his attainments in the Space Dao and the Soul Dao, it is not difficult to completely break the soul realm formed by the soul light of the sky waterfall.
The really difficult thing is to find Wei Jiuling and confirm that nothing will happen to Wei Jiuling.
Although this kind of thing seems to be possible or not, but... if it can be done, it means that he has made a choice based on his heart.
If he doesn't do it, it proves that he is still the same as when he was in Xihuang. No matter what the reason is, he is the one who harmed others after all.
That was the last thing he could accept.
This girl is stubborn and simple in temperament. She was treated like this just because she encountered too many hardships and wanted to seek some warmth.
How is this unfair? This is simply an extremely huge sin. If Wei Jiuling is really killed because of this, he will feel uneasy.
However--
While he was still here frantically looking for someone, the soul auras of other creatures in this space soul realm became extremely solid.
Gradually, they were able to reveal their physical bodies just like Gu Qingyang. Such changes really shocked Gu Qingyang himself.
It was hard for him to believe that Heaven had the means to increase the power of these souls.
Such a change really gave him an ominous premonition deep in his heart.
But now, it is useless to say anything more. As long as those souls don't take the initiative to attack him, he doesn't want to get entangled with these souls.
His intuition told him that Wei Jiuling must be very unsafe. Even if she is safe now, she will definitely encounter something unexpected soon...
Because Heaven is controlling everything behind the scenes.
Even if he and some other creatures don't want to admit it, so what, as far as Tiandao is concerned, they are still pawns on the chessboard.
Even for Gu Qingyang, the truth is the same. He just has the qualifications to break away from the chessboard, not the strength.
At least for now, his strength is not enough.
"Um?"
"This is--"
However, just when Gu Qingyang made up his mind to find Wei Jiuling, he made an unexpected discovery while searching for the person.
"This place is truly wonderful. It was created naturally because of God's will, and it was also suitable for some inevitable reasons."
"Therefore...in this space, there seems to be many unrivaled true meanings of the two great avenues of space and soul."
"If it weren't for the situation, I would really want to stop and just quietly understand, study and appreciate it."
"Actually, it's enough to see such a scene in this life. And I still want to get the maximum benefit from it."
"Come to think of it... I'm really greedy."
"Where is this little girl Kewei Jiuling? She doesn't have as vicious a mind as those guys."
"Sigh... So what if she inherits some knowledge from me? She can't be invincible after all. She grows very fast, but it really takes time."
…
Gu Qingyang murmured to himself, meditating while walking around the world again. He constantly uses his senses to try and search.
However, no matter how he searched, he could not find the person he was looking for in this vast sea of souls. He couldn't find even a similar soul aura.
Such a result made Gu Qingyang feel heartbroken.
But Gu Qingyang knew that he couldn't give up yet.
Everything is caused by God's will, everything is caused by God's will. At this time, the most important thing for him to do is to do his best to defeat the methods of heaven.
In this way, the major issue related to the source of all the things was solved, and he could naturally find the person he wanted to find.
"Is this the only way to go?"
After a long, long time, Gu Qingyang couldn't help but feel helpless. He was really helpless, because there seemed to be only one way in front of him.
That is... to enter the state of enlightenment now, and do his best to decipher the structural principles of this space, so as to defeat the methods of heaven.
If he can accomplish this, then he will not only be able to break free from the constraints of this space, but he will also be able to control this space.
In this way, it is not impossible to replace Tiandao and become the new master of this space, nor is it just a dream.
"In that case, let's do it."
Gu Qingyang sighed silently in his heart, and then he sat silently, letting his soul body close his eyes, converge his perception and enter meditation.
In many cases, having a body is actually like having a double-edged sword. The soul will certainly enjoy peace because of the protection of the body.
But there is a curse on him.
The curse of karma was enough to suffocate him and put him on the verge of death. Therefore, his body is also a prison for him.
But now, his soul has been forcibly pulled into this space, even if it is freed from the shackles of the body in another sense.
Without restraints, power can be wielded like an arm.
Therefore, he had just sat down, and his perception was instantly strengthened by the blessing of Tai Cang Ku Rong Sutra, allowing him to see a lot of things.
"All living beings——"
"Enemies——"
"Why do I see some souls in this space that do not belong to this battlefield? Is there another hidden story behind this matter?"
"Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Is this a deliberate arrangement by the Supreme Heaven and others, or is it an unintentional act on their part?"
"Where is Wei Jiuling? Is it safe?"
"Damn it! I feel like this again. Why can't I feel like I can't keep anyone important? I hate it, I hate it. I hate it!"
"No! No, no one can take away my important people from me. Everyone who is really good to me is my treasure."
"The nights in the wild world are always cold and long. Weak people like us, people like us who long for warmth, should embrace each other."
"Ah——"
"I won't let go."
…
In the real world, Gu Qingyang, who fell to the ground, was still lying in Wei Jiuling's arms. Because everyone fell into a coma, including Wei Jiuling.
So now no one will give him new life. While his soul is also experiencing crisis, his body is also slowly dying.
Even though there was still a refining contract of Heaven's Lock between him and Wei Jiuling, Wei Jiuling, who was unconscious, could not provide him with much hope.
As a result, he was really in danger.
And deep in the Waterfall Soul Realm that day, Gu Qingyang was also suffering endless pain.
He must maintain absolute sanity because he still has to crack this method.
However, all kinds of worries can also make him feel irritable and make him suffer even more.
This kind of thing is really not something that ordinary people can bear easily. Ordinary people will definitely collapse when they encounter this kind of thing.
But he didn't.
No matter how much he collapsed, he always persisted! He always believed that he could turn things around at some point.
However... with his enlightenment, his ever-increasing attainments in the Soul Dao allowed him to gain contact with a certain place in another way.
"Netherworld."
When Gu Qingyang realized which place he had contacted, he was stunned. Because he really didn't expect that he still had this ability.
"Ten years -"
"It's been a hundred years——"
"Thousands of years-"
…
Just when Gu Qingyang was still in a daze, he heard a strange voice from Mingtu. It was a woman's voice.
Judging from the voice, the woman must be no longer young, and her voice is indeed full of a sense of vicissitudes of life.
The sound attracted him.
He was determined to have a look, so he tentatively sent out a ray of his soul to the underworld. And the next moment, another voice sounded——
"Brother Qingyang!"
The voice was full of surprise, and it made Gu Qingyang feel extremely familiar. Gu Qingyang thought carefully, wasn't this Fan Linlang's voice?
…
