Chapter 216 God's Descent 07

What does it feel like to meet your former lover across time and space?

Jiang Yuelu had watched a movie before, where the hero and heroine finally met after a long time. She looked at her former lover, whose blurry face gradually revived from her memory. There was a line in her dialogue that left a deep impression on Jiang Yuelu:

It was like falling in love with him all over again.

Now it's very much like this story.

Xia Yi turned his head to look at him, "Are you tired?"

Jiang Yuelu: "That's not the case."

Xia Yi turned around and looked at the field where the flames of war were raging.

You don't need to look to know that the wizards and demons are fighting fiercely.

The battle on the Ghost Festival had never been so close to Jiang Yuelu. He had only heard of that event through the retelling of Tong Mian, Kong Zhuning and others.

But now it was tragically projected in front of Jiang Yuelu, like a very realistic, extremely realistic real-life experience game. And he clearly understood that he was not playing anyone, he was Jiang Yuelu, an eyewitness to this past event.

Several years ago, he walked in this wilderness with Xia Yi.

At that time, the burning flames followed behind him and bloomed one after another in the fields, like a bunch of sad and gorgeous flowers.

He could hear roars and cries from afar, but he was already numb.

The last family member of Jiang Yuelu had died, and Jiang Rihu's soul went to the Jiang family cemetery. They were reunited after a hundred years, so it was not a complete tragedy.

The connection of family affection has been severed, and in this time and space he doesn't have to care about the life and death of human beings.

Don't care about yourself even more.

The only thing he cared about was the god in front of him who was soon approaching death.

He will die and then be reborn, his soul will be filled with resentment from the ghosts. The boundless resentment will create a new Xia Yi. This night he will both die and be reborn.

He wanted to speak, but a powerful force suddenly bound his soul, as if he was trapped in this body. He could not utter a single extra word or make a single move.

However, he could still look at Xia Yi.

Xia Yi observed him, "Are you tired?"

He wanted to shake his head, but his neck seemed to have its own consciousness and nodded. A familiar voice came out of his mouth, "My brother... is he really dead?"

Jiang Yuelu was horrified.

But he immediately realized that this was probably himself back then.

This is the Ghost Festival they experienced back then, a one-to-one restoration.

Kong Zhuning sent him to the Zhongyuan Night Battle. The power he provided allowed him to move freely in the beginning, but when he dealt with the beast just now, his movements became a little stiff.

When Kong Zhuning's power was completely lost, he was sealed inside his body, unable to perform impromptu performances or influence anything around him.

Jiang Yuelu knew that Kong Zhuning must have planned everything out.

He must be aware that his power is limited, and this is definitely the situation he wants to see.

Rather than him making unnecessary moves, Kong Zhuning hoped that he could just watch all this unfold...

Jiang Yuelu calmed down, feeling the emotions from the past in her body.

That is a very real concern.

Back then, he and Jiang Rihu were brothers who spent every day together. It was not like he had been away for many years. For Jiang Yuelu at this moment, he was still playing with Xia Yi in the attic in the morning, and the ghost war of the Mid-Autumn Festival broke out in the evening, mixed with the massacre of the Jiang family by the wizards...

He didn't know anything at the time, so he was panicked and confused.

Following Xia Yi on the journey and worrying about his brother's life and death, he was already exhausted both physically and mentally.

That’s why he admitted that he was tired and asked his brother Jiang Rihu with concern…

Jiang Yuelu understood this feeling very well. It was very similar to his worries about Yan Fei and others. From this familiarity, he felt for the first time that they were actually the same person.

All the emotions in the body merge and intertwine, the part belonging to the past and the part belonging to the future blend together, as naturally as water dissolving in water.

Watching the past "Xia Yi" comforting "Jiang Yuelu", he also increasingly understood what changes time had brought to them.

In the past, Jiang Yuelu was a panicky seventeen-year-old.

In the past, Xia Yi was also an ignorant god who was just born.

Could they successfully escape from the chaos of a hundred years ago? He and Xia Yi might be able to do it many years later, but they definitely couldn't.

Jiang Yuelu watched them being entangled by the pursuing ghosts. At this time, the tribe god Xia Yi was not as cruel as he would be later. He was still very inexperienced when it came to killing, so it was Jiang Yuelu who skillfully used magic and witchcraft to deal with these pursuers.

When Jiang Yuelu was exhausted, Xia Yi would grit his teeth and stand up for her.

The ghost's cold blood splashed under his eyes. He wiped it off bit by bit with his fingertips to prevent the blood from touching his sleeves - the clothes were prepared for him by Jiang Yuelu and he didn't want to get them dirty.

At this time, Xia Yi was well-behaved and obedient.

Even though he didn't really want to kill, he still did it for Jiang Yuelu.

He became more and more skilled at it later, and his knife skills were extremely efficient.

The two of them held on for a while and moved forward for a distance. The area behind them became eerily quiet. Invisible dangers were lurking in the dark forest, and they did not dare to relax at all.

The crows in the forest screamed in unison, and a pair of scarlet pupils appeared in the forest.

Jiang Yuelu felt her body being strangled by fear in an instant.

This was the most ferocious ghost they had seen on their escape. Although they seemed to be fighting all the way, they were actually not involved in the battle. The two young men had not yet witnessed the true cruelty of the battlefield.

But now, they saw it.

This ghost that followed here by smelling the scent, unlike the previous ones that only knew how to bite and tear brute force, still retained human consciousness. The combination of human scheming and ghost ferocity made it extremely knowledgeable about hunting, and it waited until Jiang Yuelu and the others were exhausted before appearing.

Along the way, it was tearing the corpses of its own kind from behind - all of them were ghosts killed by Jiang Yuelu and Xia Yi.

Those are so disgusting.

It is far from comparable to the feast in front of us.

The smell of these two people... is not like that of a simple human. It can smell that one of them is a human, but the other is not... Although it is not a human, it is more fragrant and delicious than a human...

The evil ghost's saliva continued to flow down, it had been suppressing its desire to the extreme, and at the moment of the dam breaking, it pounced on the two. Xia Yi subconsciously blocked in front, but Jiang Yuelu also made the same move. The two people acted at the same time and accidentally bumped into each other. After a short pause, the stench was already overwhelming.

Danger--!

Even Jiang Yuelu clenched her fists for these little ones.

“Ouch…”

The evil ghost suddenly collapsed and screamed. Jiang Yuelu looked in amazement as the giant beast suddenly appeared and bit off the evil ghost's neck, then started to chew on the ground with its mouth smacking.

In less than a moment, the evil ghost became someone else's meal.

In this chaotic night, the law of the jungle is everywhere.

The mosquitoes and ants in the jungle cast a glance and knew that the fight had already ended. They waited quietly on the side, waiting for the giant beast to finish its meal, and then it would be their turn to eat.

"Xia Yi, this isn't... this isn't the one we just let go..." Jiang Yuelu thought she was seeing things and turned to Xia Yi for confirmation.

Xia Yi also recognized it. This was released from his hands, there was no way he didn't recognize it.

"Why did it come here?" Jiang Yuelu murmured.

The giant beast had been imprisoned for many years. After escaping, why didn't it get away from this place immediately?

The beast ate voraciously, but stopped halfway through. It lay down in front of Xia Yi and him and rolled over, making a noise like an earthquake. The beast's old face turned red and it turned aside embarrassedly, revealing its relatively clean belly shyly.

Jiang Yuelu was shocked, "Are you asking us to touch this?"

Xia Yi hesitated, "It seems so."

Jiang Yuelu then touched the fur on its belly. The beast became even happier after being touched and whimpered softly. The pair of scarlet eyes made Jiang Yuelu feel very kind.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll just call you Xiaohong!"

"Since it came to help us, it means we are destined to be together. Shall we take it with us and escape?"

Of course there was nothing wrong with it. With the wild beasts, they didn't have to walk. They could sit on the tall backs of the giant beasts and experience the feeling of traveling thousands of miles a day.

Smelling the faint fishy scent in the fur and watching the night retreating like lightning, he had an illusion that he was walking together until the end of time, not to mention that his beloved was still by his side.

Jiang Yuelu looked at Xia Yi and said without paying attention, "You must remember me in the future."

Xia Yi frowned, "I won't separate from you."

Jiang Yuelu: "Of course I know you won't abandon me, but... I'm just saying this. Maybe my brother and I broke up, and my parents also broke up with me a long time ago. I always feel that everyone in this world will be separated from each other, maybe we will too?"

Xia Yi looked at him hugging his knees, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Jiang Yuelu glanced at him and said, "Just treat it as something I just said casually. However, if that day really comes, you must live well."

Xia Yi's expression changed, "You——"

"Do you think I'm going to die?" Jiang Yuelu smiled and shook her head, "No, I won't. I will do my best to live until the day I see you again."

I just didn't expect that day to come so soon.

After seven days of trekking, the wizard group that was attacking the Jiang family finally caught up with them.

Seven days have passed, and the war between ghosts and witches has entered its exhausting late stage. They can finally devote their attention to dealing with the remnants of the Jiang family who escaped.

Jiang Yuelu had never thought that they would take him more seriously than exterminating the ghosts, and would rather exterminate him first and then protect the academy. But on second thought, he could understand.

Who asked Xia Yi to run away with him?

I'm afraid that in the eyes of the wizards, I'm not just a remnant, but a heretic who seduces the gods to escape and cause chaos, and I must eradicate them immediately.

They may not be the cruelest to ghosts, but they will be cruel to their own kind.

Isn't that what people are like?

He and Xia Yi sat on the grinning Xiaohong, and the wizards were staring at them covetously.

He glanced from a distance but didn't see Wu Yeming.

Jiang Yuelu, who was trapped inside his body and unable to move, also felt his past vision. However, as soon as the thought "Wu Yeming doesn't seem to be here" came to his mind, he felt dizzy, as if he was suddenly hit by a club. His eyes went dark and he was dragged into the endless black water...

This feeling of losing strength and being unable to move is very similar to the first time you were imprisoned.

When Jiang Yuelu was about to drown in the chaotic time and space, she suddenly heard a strange voice, "Hmm? The power planted by Kong Zhuning is gone? Never mind... It's really a bad fate, let me lend you a helping hand..."

"Who are you……"

He was in a daze and had no idea where he was, nor could he see who the black shadow was.

"Don't ask anymore, go back quickly."

"If you don't go now, you won't be able to see each other again..."

"What……"

Someone suddenly pressed his forehead into the water. He woke up again, wet and looked up, suddenly meeting a pair of heart-wrenching red eyes. It was Xia Yi, it was Xia Yi!

what happened?

Why is he in so much pain?

A hundred years ago, Xia Yi had always been as indifferent as a god. He had never had such a thrilling expression!

"Jiang Yuelu, don't let go..." A voice coming from above his head came through gritting his teeth.

Only then did he realize his situation. The wind blowing from the sky was icy cold. He slowly turned around to look and saw an abyss with no bottom. Layers of thin clouds and mist were blowing behind him, like wild silk spit out by countless spiders, hooking souls and taking their lives.

Falling into such a bottomless abyss would undoubtedly result in instant death.

Before Jiang Yuelu could look away, she saw the corpse of a giant beast hanging heavily on the cliff not far away, its red eyes staring fixedly in the direction of its owner.

His soul ached.

Xiaohong is dead...

The beast that carried them for seven days was killed by the wizards.

Who will be next, him or Xia Yi?

"Don't think about abandoning me." Xia Yi pulled his hand tightly, with large clots of blood flowing from his lips. "They brought ghosts and wanted to devour me. There is also an abyss behind me now. If you die, I can't live either, so you must not... abandon me. I don't want to..."

I don't want to be alone anymore.

"I have been lying in the attic for hundreds of years. No one has found me, no one loves me, and no one is like you... Jiang Yuelu, you gave me a name, you can't abandon me..."

Big drops of tears fell on his face. This was the first heavy rain that His Majesty the God had sent for their Jiang family.

"What is this...?" Xia Yi had never cried before, he felt confused and heartbroken.

"It's tears."

Jiang Yuelu looked at his Majesty the God with emotion.

Once upon a time, his body echoed in emptiness, he understood nothing, was forgotten in the attic and had never been anywhere.

It was he who gave life to the wood and gave it flesh and blood that could feel pain.

He whispered to Xia Yi: "Do you remember what I told you? People have seven emotions and six desires, and people have hearts, so they know what is pain and what is happiness. Now you are very sad, so you are crying..."

Xia Yi said: "...tears, are they the same as the ones on your face now?"

He was now hanging on the edge of a cliff, his chest pressed against the heavy rocks.

Dongdong, Dongdong...

Dongdong, Dongdong...

It seemed as if a brand new heart had grown there, beating like thunder.

When he was born as a god, no one ever congratulated him. Now that he has grown a heart and is born as a human, he no longer has to remain silent and passively listen to the wishes of others.

Instead, he had his own thoughts, and he wanted Jiang Yuelu to hear them alone.

The former God, today's Xia Yi, said: "I wish to be with Jiang Yuelu forever for thousands of years."
