"Why...you called me Xiaoliu?"
Facing Gu Xiaoxing's question, the smile on Gu Xiaochen's face gradually stopped. Still looking at the ancient sun below, he spoke slowly.
"Before the eternity of eternity, there was no desolate birth and death, no desolate floating dust, there was only a place called the ancient universe."
"Ancient Universe?"
Gu Xiaoxing was shocked because he had heard Qinggu's master, the stone bird, mention it.
Because this stone bird was crazy and not convinced at all by what he said, Gu Xiaoxing never took it seriously.
But now when he heard Gu Xiaochen say it again, he had to pay attention.
Gu Xiaochen was not surprised by Gu Xiaoxing's expression of surprise, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but continued: "In the ancient universe, there are six ancient times, namely Huanggu, Dangu, Zhengu, and Zhengu. , Chengu, Xinggu.".5
"It can be said that everything in Huang Fuchen originated from the ancient universe, and the six ancient realms dominated the ancient universe, so there are six ancient realms."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but feel excited. What Stone Bird said was actually true!
Moreover, as Houtu said, there is not only the fifth ancient realm!
"And...the sixth ancient realm?!"
Gu Xiaochen nodded and said: "Yes, and no, maybe there is outside of Huangfuchen, but no one has ever reached it in Huangfuchen!"
Gu Xiaoxing could not imagine that if according to Houtu's words, the fifth ancient realm could wipe out the entire True Spirit Clan with a single thought, then what would the sixth ancient realm be like?
Has anyone ever achieved it?
Inexplicably, Gu Xiaoxing thought of the man in red who had made a bizarre transaction with him in time.
Then he thought about the old village chief, the "lonely ghost" the old village chief mentioned in his dream, and everything the old village chief said.
Just listen to Gu Xiaochen continue: "Although the ancient universe is the origin, as time gathers and disperses, time changes, and the world continues to grow."
"Gradually, outside the ancient universe, there was the Wild God Realm, the Fuchen Realm, the Witch Spirit Prison, the Qiong Yao Fairyland and many other great universes, and thus,... Huang Fuchen was formed!"
Gu Xiaoxing felt sad in her heart, this world was really too big, and everything she saw was just a drop in the ocean.
No wonder Yudao Houtu, who was as strong as before, would compare himself to a frog in a well after learning some truths.
Seeming to see the dazzle in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes, Gu Xiaochen smiled again and said: "I am not saying this to make you feel insignificant. This is just something you should know. After listening, I want you to make a choice. .”
"What choice?"
"Let's talk after you hear it."
Gu Xiaochen suppressed his smile again and continued: "As the world grew bigger and bigger, disputes began to arise, and finally it spread to the ancient universe."
"The original six ancient ones have all reached the fifth ancient realm, but other universes also have fifth ancient realms, and their numbers are increasing."
"The source of this dispute is that someone wants to step into... the sixth ancient realm!"
"For this reason, they will do whatever it takes to make the dispute more and more uncontrollable. If it continues, the entire wasteland may be in ruins!"
"So, the six ancients have to come forward to stop this dispute!"
"And the way to stop this dispute is very simple, just step into the Sixth Ancient Realm!"
"At that time, the only person who was most likely to enter the Sixth Ancient Realm was Huangu among the six ancients. Huangu existed almost from the beginning of the ancient universe."
"It's just that it's not that easy to step into the sixth ancient realm. Even with the power of the other five ancients, he still failed."
"And the price of failure is even more painful. The six great ancients... all fell!"
"All fell?" Gu Xiaoxing looked shocked.
Gu Xiaochen nodded and said: "Not only have all the six great ancients fallen, but most of the entire ancient universe has been destroyed."
Speaking of this, Gu Xiaochen stared like Gu Xiaoxing and said: "From then on, desolate life and death appeared.
I don’t know why it appeared or how it appeared! "
"Tell me why I call you Xiaoliu, because..."
"In your body, there is a lonely soul of the Sixth Ancient, Star Ancient."
"And I was transformed into a ray of Chengu's lonely soul!"
To be honest, after hearing all this, Gu Xiaoxing was a little confused.
He was already depressed because of the departure of Fang Qingyun and Xiaozhuhuo, but now he heard Gu Xiaochen say so many shocking secrets in one breath, and he was inevitably a little at a loss for what to do.
Gu Xiaochen did not continue, but deliberately left some time for Gu Xiaoxing to digest.
It took a long time before Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath, then briefly talked about himself, and finally touched the red dot on his forehead and said, "Who is the old village chief, and what does this mark represent?"
"He is Shuangu, and he is also buried!"
Gu Xiaoxing was startled and said: "Shuangu? Burial?"
Gu Xiaochen nodded again, and then there was a gloomy look in his eyes, saying: "After the death of the six great ancients, someone tampered with their corpses, collected their remaining souls after their death, and even refined the ancients. It became a burial."
"Then with the intention of burial, I will send the remaining souls of the five great ancients into the wasteland of life and death, in order to cultivate a master of life and death!"
"The person who trained you should be the residual thoughts of Shuangu, which have not been completely refined, which led to a variable."
"And the skeletal hand you see is the body of Shuangu who was buried after being refined!"
"As for this mark..."
Gu Xiaochen also touched the red spot on his forehead and said, "I will protect you from the prying eyes of the funeral!"
Only then did Gu Xiaoxing suddenly realize, and the context in his heart gradually became clearer. He also subconsciously looked at the red dot between Gu Xiaochen's eyebrows.
The mark between Gu Xiaoxing's eyebrows was left by the old village chief due to some changes. Could it be that he was also affected by the changes.
"good."
As if Gu Xiaochen knew what Gu Xiaoxing was thinking, he smiled and said, "I killed Burying's thoughts and took this mark by force, so I am the variable!"
When Gu Xiaoxing heard this, she broke into a cold sweat. The smile on Gu Xiaochen's face looked very friendly, but also inexplicably scary.
However, under the impact of these shocking secrets, the depression in Gu Xiaoxing's heart finally faded a lot, and he continued to ask.
"Who could be the person who tampered with the six ancient corpses?"
Gu Xiaochen shook his head, "That's not clear. After all, the original Taikoo has fallen, and there are only a few lonely souls left wandering between existence and non-existence. It is impossible to know what happens next."
"Including why this person wants to cultivate the master of birth and death in the wilderness, the purpose, and the origin of the wilderness, it is completely different from the wasteland I am familiar with."
"We need to explore these ourselves."
When Gu Xiaochen said this, he looked at Gu Xiaoxing. His eyes became deep and he said, "So, you need to make a choice now."
Gu Xiaoxing's expression turned serious. In fact, he already had some guesses in his mind, but he still asked: "What choice?"
Gu Xiaochen said word by word: "Do you want to choose to be Xinggu, or continue to be your Gu Xiaoxing?"
"If you choose to be an ancient star, I will take you out of the cage, help you gradually recover your memory, and quickly reach the perfection of the third ancient realm. At the same time, you and I will work together to be more confident in getting out of the wilderness."
"If you choose to be Gu Xiaoxing..."
Gu Xiaochen paused for a moment before continuing: "This is your own path, and I won't interfere."
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing did not answer immediately. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Are you Chen Gu or Gu Xiaochen?"
Gu Xiaochen looked at Gu Xiaoxing, his eyes suddenly became infinitely deep, and then he smiled and said, "I am Chen Gu, and I am also Gu Xiaochen."
This answer made Gu Xiaoxing slightly startled, and then he looked away, looked at the ancient sun below, and then looked up at the sky.
"I... am Gu Xiaoxing!"
Gu Xiaoxing is determined in his heart. He has sacrificed so much just because he does not want to be taken away by Yu Dao.
She didn't want to give up, and she didn't want to be bound by a trace of Xinggu's remaining soul.
Therefore, he will only be Gu Xiaoxing!
As if he had expected it, Gu Xiaochen nodded slightly and said, "Since this is your choice, you must treat it as your original intention. If this path is not firm, it is not far away."
Gu Xiaoxing also nodded, this has always been his way.
No matter the past life or the next life, it is not him. Only this life belongs to him completely!
His name is Gu Xiaoxing!
Gu Xiaochen smiled, then gently waved his hand, and the small stone sword that had been hanging in the air flew to Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing was surprised when he saw it. He didn't need to feel it to know that this stone sword must be extraordinary. It was also the stone sword that pinned Yu Dao's will before, making it unable to continue to cause trouble.
But Gu Xiaochen's next words shocked Gu Xiaoxing.
"This is the heart sword sent by my master, the Mantra Sword Ancestor, to kill you."
"Ah!? Why?"
Gu Xiaoxing was a little confused.
Gu Xiaochen's master should be the ancestor of the True Word Sword Sect. Wasn't he killed by Gu Xiaochen for a long time?
Moreover, there was no enmity between him and me in the past, so why did he want to kill him?
Gu Xiaochen gave Gu Xiaoxing a playful look and said, "You and I are called Gu Xiaochen and Gu Xiaoxing, and both of us have learned the art of Mantra and Nine Swords. He can't do anything to me, so he can only I’ll put this debt on you.”
When Gu Xiaoxing heard this, she was even more speechless. What kind of fate is this!
"But it's okay, it's very well-behaved now."
Gu Xiaochen said, and reached out to touch the small stone sword.
Under the touch, the small stone sword immediately trembled. I don't know whether it was comfort or fear.
Out of curiosity, Gu Xiaoxing also reached out and carefully touched the stone sword.
With this contact, he immediately felt the boundless fear exuding from the stone sword.
God knows what it has been through?
"You only need to integrate the nine-character mantra into it, and it will become your mantra and nine swords." Gu Xiaochen said.
"Ah...! Isn't this... bad?!" Gu Xiaoxing was stunned.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Master, he worked tirelessly and prepared for eternity just to give you this sword. Just accept it. It won't be in vain for it to fly for decades."
Gu Xiaoxing felt ashamed. He had been flying for decades just to kill himself?
