Chapter 100: The Thousand Faces of All Living Things (8)

"Uh..." Duan Jiangli hesitated, "Are you sure you want to listen to my opinion?"

He is actually a little hesitant now.

Duan Jiangli had never seen such a strange copy before.

Gu Qiufeng said: "It's okay, just making a decision. At least no one will die in this copy."

"That's right." Duan Jiangli said, "Since we're here, shall we continue?"

Gu Qiufeng smiled: "Okay, keep going forward."

They walked into the same corridor again.

After walking for a while, this time it was no longer the same doors and corridors.

However, the two did not feel much relief.

Duan Jiangli complained: "How come this thing has the tendency to change its mind?"

Two identical doors appeared in front of them.

"What should we do?" Duan Jiangli turned and asked Gu Qiufeng.

Gu Qiufeng said: "You open one door, and I open one door."

"Are we going to separate?" Duan Jiangli rejected it subconsciously. "That's not good. This copy is so strange. If we get into danger after being left alone, we won't be able to ask for help."

Gu Qiufeng said helplessly: "I didn't say we should go separately, I just opened both doors and decided which way we should go based on the situation."

Duan Jiangli was relieved to see that Gu Qiufeng had no intention of leaving, so he walked around to the other end and opened the door on the left.

Gu Qiufeng opened the door on the right, and saw that the road ahead was no longer a corridor, but a jungle-covered road. However, the door was blocked by thorns, and a wooden board was placed in the middle of the thorns.

He glanced and saw that Duan Jiangli was in the same situation, so he realized that the wooden board must be the key to choosing the road.

Gu Qiufeng turned to study the words on the wooden board.

There was a line of words written on the wooden board:

[You have committed the first of the ten sins. You are now being judged.

Greedy traveler, what is the thing you desire most in your heart? 】

Gu Qiufeng's mind moved.

The words on the wooden board began to change slowly.

As if getting the answer, the words on the wooden board changed into the second question.

Gu Qiufeng narrowed his eyes, revealing a somewhat dangerous look.

[A greedy traveler will gain nothing.

I would like to ask my friends and relatives, what should the traveler give up? 】

Gu Qiufeng stopped the thought in time.

This wooden sign seemed to be able to see into his innermost thoughts.

But Gu Qiufeng still didn't know what consequences would arise if he made a choice.

It would be fine if it directly affected himself, but what if by choosing one, he would really lose the other?

Gu Qiufeng raised his eyes and looked at Duan Jiangli.

Duan Jiangli looked unhappy, and it was obvious that he had encountered a difficult problem that he had to make a decision.

This question is obviously intended to force humans to give up any one of the things that they cannot bear to give up the most in their hearts.

But both of them are probably the most difficult for human beings to give up.

Gu Qiufeng wanted to speak, but he saw Duan Jiangli suddenly close his eyes and tremble all over. The thorns behind the door in front of him seemed to be injected with vitality, and suddenly squirmed and wrapped him up and pulled him into the door.

Gu Qiufeng subconsciously left and went to another door to look for Duan Jiangli.

However, his feet were entangled in thorns and he could not move at all.

It seemed like they were forcing him to make a choice.

A hint of hostility flashed across Gu Qiufeng's eyes.

He guessed that Duan Jiangli should be facing the same problem as himself.

Duan Jiangli's answer was also very clear.

He will definitely choose his relatives.

For the sake of his sister, Duan Jiangli is willing to risk his life and enter the game himself.

Even though he didn't know if his sister was still alive.

He lost his parents and almost lost his sister. Family ties are the most important thing that Duan Jiangli cannot give up.

But Gu Qiufeng is different.

His eyelashes trembled, and he finally revealed a mocking smile: "If you can touch Xie Xin, why do you still embarrass me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qiufeng was entangled by the thorns and was led into the road behind the door.

When the thorns that blocked his view disappeared and Gu Qiufeng opened his eyes, he found himself back in the same corridor as before.

Nothing unexpected happened.

It’s just that Duan Jiangli is missing, probably because he chose a different path.

Gu Qiufeng could only hope that he would not do anything stupid at the critical moment. Since what happened just now was just greed, one of the ten sins, there would definitely be nine more problems in the future.

Another door appeared ahead.

When Gu Qiufeng was about to go over with his hands in his pockets, the door was pushed open from the other side.

Gu Qiufeng subconsciously stopped, but was obviously stunned when he saw the person coming: "Xiao Yu?"

The thin young man was covering the wound on his arm. After noticing Gu Qiufeng's gaze, his peach blossom eyes glanced over vigilantly, but instantly turned into surprise when he saw Gu Qiufeng.

"Senior!" Yu Chiang almost couldn't help running towards Gu Qiufeng, but soon he stopped and looked at Gu Qiufeng with an embarrassed face, "Senior, do I need to prove myself first?"

Gu Qiufeng smiled and said, "No need, I can still tell the real from the fake."

"By the way, did you disappear because you entered the A-level dungeon?" Gu Qiufeng thought of the two extra floors and asked, "We were just entering the dungeon, right?"

Yu Chiang lowered his eyes and said softly, "I just entered the A-level dungeon not long ago, and I thought it would be helpful to help you. Something happened before, and I didn't have time to tell you."

For the time being, he didn't want to tell Gu Qiufeng about his interactions with Xie Xin.

Fortunately, Gu Qiufeng saw through his intention and took the initiative to change the subject: "Did you just come out of the dungeon?"

"Yes." Yu Chiang said, "Then I pushed the door open, but instead of seeing the elevator, I came to the senior."

Gu Qiufeng roughly understood that it should be related to the option he chose.

He said, "This copy is a bit strange. Your coming here must be related to me."

Gu Qiufeng briefly told Yu Chiang about his experience.

Yu Chiang suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Gu Qiufeng said: "I think after we clear this instance, maybe we will reach City A, but we don't know the intention of these options yet."

Because of Duan Jiangli's previous experience, Gu Qiufeng never considered letting Yu Chiang stay more than a hundred meters away from him this time.

But fortunately there is only one door now.

So without making any more choices, Gu Qiufeng directly opened the door that Yu Chiang had just opened when he came in.

"Things have changed behind the door." Yu Chiang said.

Gu Qiufeng saw a door that was exactly the same as the last one he made a choice.

There is also a wooden plank on the thorns.

"Desire..." Gu Qiufeng muttered to himself, "I don't even know what I desire."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch the wooden board, and it shattered.

"I usually get what I want immediately." Gu Qiufeng curled the corners of his lips, "A life with everything is simple and unpretentious."

He really didn't have any deep desires.

This test could obviously reveal many secrets in the human heart, but Gu Qiufeng had always been open-minded. When he was the Phoenix God, he dared to let the Fallen God judge his soul because Gu Qiufeng was certain that he did not have any particularly clear desires at all.

After the wooden board broke, the scene before his eyes shook slightly, like ripples, and turned into a new corridor.

Gu Qiufeng and Yu Chiang continued to move forward.

Yu Chiang couldn't help but ask, "Senior, is it true that there is only one way to pass through all ten doors?"

Gu Qiufeng shook his head and said, "I haven't found any other clues yet. What's wrong?"

"I just think it's a bit weird." Yu Chi'ang said, "Although it's not directed at you, I think these trials are not difficult for you, because you are different from humans."

"But for ordinary people, after going through ten levels, they have to passively give up the most important things at each level, giving up everything. They have no desires, no relatives or friends, no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. They can be anything except human. Humans must have some kind of weakness that gets them stuck in front of a certain door." Yu Chiang said, "But it is known that City A can indeed be passed, which means that there are humans who can pass some tests. This proves that there must be some way to escape these trials."

"You are right," Gu Qiufeng said, "These trials are probably just a trick."

Yu Chiang asked: "What should we do now?"

Gu Qiufeng said decisively: "Go back."

"What?" Yu Chi'ang thought he had misheard, and he said, "But senior, there is no door behind us, only a road with no end in sight."

Gu Qiufeng looked at him deeply and said, "Xiaoyu, if it is really as you said, then moving forward is the most correct answer."

"If someone really can enter City A without being judged, it means answering questions is not the only way." Gu Qiufeng said, "But there will always be only one door ahead, a road blocked by thorns, and the right to pass can only be obtained after giving up some important things and paying a price. In this case, it means that the real way to pass the level is not to move forward."

"This road only has two directions, either forward or backward."

"What if we go back and exit the dungeon?" This is what Yu Chi'ang was worried about. "The contents of the dungeon can change at any time. If we exit, it will be difficult to find the floor that leads to City A."

Gu Qiufeng said bluntly: "Being able to exit means that this copy is not a specific floor for clearing City A. We now have only two choices, one is to move forward and accept the torture of human nature, and the other is to go back."

Having said that, he paused, feeling a little worried about Duan Jiangli's current situation.

After the two of them separated, Gu Qiufeng had no way to contact Duan Jiangli. It was unknown whether he could react and find the real way to pass the level.

Gu Qiufeng pulled Yu Chiang, and the two turned around and walked back the way they came.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the scenery ahead changed and a door appeared.

Gu Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Great, I guessed it right."

God's End
