Hearing him say that, Gu Liyan felt relieved. "Could it be that you've been with me all along...?"

“That’s right!” Before Gu Liyan could ask, Wu Bian replied, “I belong to your heart, I understand your will, I know all your feelings.”

Gu Liyan remained silent, somewhat at a loss in the face of another version of himself who understood him so well. He even worried that this person might replace him and possess his body.

Wu Xin looked at Gu Liyan and smiled slightly, "I know your worries, but now that you see me, the one who should be worried is not me, but your—life-or-death ordeal!"

"A life-or-death ordeal?" Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback.

“That’s right! Everyone faces a life-or-death tribulation, and you are no exception. Moreover, I can tell you that your life-or-death tribulation is the life-or-death pact within your body.” Wuxin’s lips curled slightly upward. “If you cannot learn how to use life and death, and integrate life and death, will life and death torment you?”

Gu Liyan subconsciously swallowed.

"In fact, the seawater of this sea of ​​the mind is just like the life force in your body. Now the sea of ​​the mind is dry because your body and mind have been injured, allowing the death force to take over."

Wuxin pointed to the dried-up seawater and spoke.

"Then, what will happen? Will I die?" Gu Liyan became a little nervous.

"I won't die!" Wuxin knew Gu Liyan's worries and smiled as she spoke.

"That's good!" Gu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, life is worse than death, and life and death are common occurrences!" Wuxin squinted at Gu Liyan and said, "You may be immersed in the pain of life and death and be unable to wake up."

"Huh?!" Gu Liyan looked at Wuxin in shock. "Me? I'm affected by the life-and-death pact here too? How is that possible!"

Wu raised his head and said with a smile, "Look, the aura of death is coming!"

Gu Liyan looked up in confusion and saw a black vortex rushing towards him.

"What, what is that?!"

“A death vortex!” Wuxin said solemnly, “It contains all the pain before death in this world, which is beyond the endurance of ordinary people.”

"What?!" Gu Liyan's expression changed instantly, because the "vortex of death" was even closer!
