At that moment, Gu Qingyang, who was tortured by endless pain all the time, truly felt that he had gained a kind of strength.
That kind of power is a power that belongs to him.
That kind of power comes from the Lock of Heaven and from his own heart. This Heavenly Lock is Wei Jiuling, the completely reborn Chu Xiuwei.
It wasn't until the moment he accepted this power that Gu Qingyang understood what the other party had given up to help him.
"Girl, do you regret it?"
After a long silence, Gu Qingyang tried hard to restrain the instinctive urge to roar. It took him a long time to ask such a question.
On his body, the dark chains that tightly wrapped him flickered just a few times, blooming with bursts of bright light.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyang nodded.
Others may not understand what it means, but he does. Relying on the connection between the weapon and its owner, he knew that it meant "no regrets."
The reason why he asked this was because Wei Jiuling could have continued to hibernate. After her rebirth, she seemed to be a very special existence.
She is both Gu Qingyang's weapon and a living creature.
The former represents her identity and is the proof of her existence in this world.
In other words, no matter how others perceive her.
In Dao Dao's view, she will be an artifact that belongs to him, not a living being.
This is in line with the characteristics of the Heavenly Lock, so her strength is comparable to that of a sixteenth-level bone cultivator.
But while she is the lock of heaven, she is also indeed a living being, a real living being. She has a body and a soul, and has unlimited potential.
Her physical predecessor was a "perfect soul" created by many great masters. Had it not been for God's will, it would have been able to conquer the sixteen realms.
Her soul's predecessor is "Chu Xiuwei", which is nothing to say.
But back then, when she was still Chu Xiuwei, her soul had been integrated with part of the origin of the avenue, and she took those origins with her when she was reincarnated.
Although the origin of the avenue at that time had been restored to integrity on its own, she still possessed terrifying potential when she was reborn due to fate.
Both her physical body and soul were extraordinary. Coupled with the influence of cause and effect and her own choices, she was born as a special person.
Logically speaking, she is actually the one who should be reborn as a wild beast.
Because her physical predecessor was a wild beast, a perfect plant-like soul.
If nothing else, she should indeed be reborn as a vine, and then go through training, and finally become a strong one among plant-like wild beasts.
But her choice allowed her to shorten the process of this road, because she was determined to let the avenue recognize her as an "object".
In this way, she would not have the possibility of breaking through the seventeenth realm like other creatures.
For the rest of her life, she will only look like this and have the fighting power she does now.
Unless Gu Qingyang breaks through the seventeenth realm and finds some way after breaking through the seventeenth realm.
Otherwise, she would have to be like this for the rest of her life. And because Gu Qingyang is her master, she is still immortal.
That is to say——
From the moment she was reborn, from the moment she actually made her choice, she was destined to survive as she did now.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, she is a powerful creature with strength comparable to the Sixteenth Realm, a truly supreme power that no one can bully.
But only Gu Qingyang knew that what she gave up was a truly bright future, and what she chose was a long road that was as difficult as his.
And because of him, her fate was even more miserable.
Who knows, she will make sacrifices for him again at some point.
Although she doesn't have to choose that way, based on his understanding of her, she will basically choose that way when necessary.
"The road I have taken is an extremely cruel one, either destruction or rebirth. My enemies will not let me go, and neither will the way of heaven."
"There are countless so-called opportunities in front of me, and they can all be regarded as choices. But among them, only one choice is right."
"Except for the right choice, all other choices are incorrect. If I choose, I will end up falling short."
"Survive."
"die."
"The Avenue."
"Practice."
"The road ahead for me is filled with fog, the wind is biting, and the darkness is supposed to be my only traveler. It's much better than you, little girl."
"I once vowed to live a completely different life from my previous life, and to make up for all the regrets of the first life in my second life."
“Then start by making changes.”
…
Gu Qingyang was silent and spoke slowly and softly. The terrifying power of thunder was devouring his body all the time.
His flesh was always breaking and then growing again after breaking. The same goes for his life bones, but his life bones are obviously more capable of carrying it.
With the Taicang Kurong Sutra running wildly in his body, the gods and demons seemed to be reborn at the fastest speed.
Gu Qingyang was communicating with himself in the form of the voice of his heart, and he was also communicating with Wei Jiuling in the form of the voice of his heart.
Wei Jiuling is definitely a truly qualified listener. She already knew everything about Gu Qingyang when she experienced rebirth.
Gu Qingyang's past experiences, Gu Qingyang's deep inner longing and sorrow... In a sense, she has been completely confused by him.
If Gu Qingyang was compared to a glass of fatally toxic liquor, then she would be the one who would drink it without hesitation.
From experiencing death twice to truly experiencing rebirth, Gu Qingyang indeed gave her countless other choices during this process.
For example, choose reincarnation and start a simple and happy life.
For example, carrying out an unprecedented rebirth with the original power of the avenue, and then becoming an unknown strongman who continues to blaspheme.
…
Gu Qingyang really gave her many, many similar choices. But in the end, her choice was Gu Qingyang, not any other choice.
To be honest, it’s not that the other options are not good enough. It's just because she really doesn't want to choose other options, that's all.
She is a simple person.
She dedicated the first ten years of her life to her mother, and she would do everything that could make her mother happy.
After ten years and six years dedicated to her hatred, she was gathering strength every day, longing for her revenge to succeed in the quiet days.
Since then——
Her life was no longer peaceful, and she finally saw the perfect dream. Then her dream was ruthlessly torn apart by her enemies, making her see her weakness.
From that moment on, she really had the idea of becoming a strong person. But then she thought about it and felt that there was nothing worth cherishing in this world.
So she still chose death.
She thought that would be her relief. She felt that if she died, she could say goodbye to everything related to her.
But she seemed wrong.
Because others can still use her remnant soul to threaten Gu Qingyang, and they can still use this method to force Gu Qingyang to compromise.
When that happened, her mood changed again. She was filled with hatred, but the person she hated was herself.
She hated herself for being weak and always dragging Gu Qingyang down again and again. She hated herself for being weak and always hurting those around her.
In fact, she had a dream of becoming stronger from the beginning.
At first, she wanted to become a soul bone cultivator because she longed to see her mother again after her revenge was successful.
She wanted to tell her mother that she had the power to change her own life. Later, this dream she had had as a girl became a reality.
The cruelty of reality is like a sharp claw.
Invisibly, that sharp claw seemed to be able to tear everything into pieces, including her beautiful but unrealistic dream.
But Gu Qingyang gave her unlimited possibilities, even though she knew that she was not an important person to Gu Qingyang.
The redemption between her and him was only due to Gu Qingyang's kindness in the beginning.
But she really remembered that kindness for a lifetime.
She had never been so kind to her in her life, never. Everyone in the world looked at her coldly, except him.
When she was most helpless, it was he who told her that everything could start again. When she was at her most desperate, it was he who brought her light.
When she was most worthless, it was he who redeemed her and gave her a chance to be reborn after experiencing countless despairs.
She has changed.
She began to take the initiative to seize the opportunity, then made her choice among countless choices, and dedicated everything to her choice.
Of course she knew this was an extremely realistic world, but so what? Her spiritual path is destined to be different from others.
Just as she could feel Gu Qingyang's state of mind, the moment she reincarnated into the Heavenly Lock and merged with Gu Qingyang.
Gu Qingyang also felt her thoughts.
From that moment on, Gu Qingyang discovered that he was not alone. He is destined to be different in this life from his previous life.
In this life, he encountered a stronger enemy earlier. He also has a group of fellow travelers who only belong to him.
For example, Fan Linlang and others.
Another example is Wei Jiuling.
In this life, he had no intention of building his Bone Imperial City before he succeeded, but at this moment he discovered that he already had many followers.
Time, destiny... the true meaning of this is really only something that can be understood by the people in the game. Others cannot taste the feeling.
"Transformation!"
"Transformation!"
"Transformation!"
Gu Qingyang allowed the water of the Thunder Pond to baptize everything about him, constantly experiencing death and rebirth, destruction and rebirth.
He longs to become more powerful, and also longs to evolve his own Tao to the extreme, and then break through this extreme, thereby transforming.
However, the danger involved is unimaginable.
