"Phoenix, do you have a solution?" Upon hearing Long Yuan's words, Xu Ling'er communicated with Feng Yuan using her consciousness.
"It can't save him, and neither can I," the phoenix replied. Even if it had a way, it wouldn't dare save Gu Yu. If Gu Yu absorbed its power, it would die. The aftereffects of its phoenix rebirth were still lingering! Otherwise, how could it not even be able to handle a dragon?
Hearing Feng Yuan's words, Xu Ling'er looked at Gu Yu lying on the bed. She felt very sad, but she couldn't feel sorrow.
"Whether he lives or dies depends on himself," Longyuan said. It could sense that Gu Yu was not dead, but rather resembled a person in a vegetative state, as medically speaking.
"Given his condition, he probably needs to be taken to the hospital!" At that moment, a woman walked in carrying a bowl of porridge, and Long Yuan vanished instantly.
"Hospital?" Xu Ling'er was stunned. How could she not think of a hospital? But even Long Yuan and Feng Yuan couldn't do anything about it, so a hospital couldn't possibly cure Gu Yu either.
"Young lady, what happened to him?" the woman asked, looking at Gu Yu, whose body was covered in blood and gore.
To be honest, she was shocked when she first saw Gu Yu, and even now, seeing him like this, she is still a little scared. How can a person live like this?
She wouldn't have let them in if she hadn't felt sorry for them!
"He worked in the mine and was blown up," Xu Ling'er said. How could anyone believe that? Anyone could see from the wounds on Gu Yu's body that it was from an explosion.
"At a mine?" The woman hesitated for a moment. "There aren't any mines around here. How did you get here?"
“I…” It was obvious that Xu Ling’er was not lying.
"Never mind, he looks pitiful. He's so young, and he's already like this. Didn't the mine say they'd give him some compensation?" The woman placed the porridge by the bedside, intending to have Xu Ling'er feed Gu Yu some porridge, but given Gu Yu's condition, it was impossible for him to drink porridge.
“This…” Xu Ling’er didn’t know how to answer again.
"Sigh! Those heartless mine owners these days, even though the person is in such a state, they still won't pay compensation. They're utterly devoid of conscience!" the woman cursed. Judging from Xu Ling'er's expression, she thought the mine wasn't going to pay her!
“Young lady, I think you’re still young. Although some things may be hard to hear, I have to say them.” The woman looked at the beautiful Xu Ling’er. She was a little hesitant at first, but she still advised, “People are already in this state. It’s just a matter of time before it happens. Young lady, you’re still young. You should think about yourself.”
“Auntie, he won’t die,” Xu Ling’er said.
"Sigh!" The old woman sighed and walked out of the house.
"Gu Yu, wake up! Your father is waiting for you to save him!" Xu Ling'er said. She thought that a person in a vegetative state would wake up if stimulated. For Gu Yu, his father was the most important thing to him right now, and also the thing that could stimulate him the most.
Gu Yu remained motionless, as if he were dead.
At this moment, Gu Yu found himself in a blank space. No matter which way he went, he could not reach the end. He was very anxious because his father was waiting for him.
"What are you? Let me out of here!" Gu Yu shouted at his surroundings. He didn't know what had happened. He had been knocked unconscious the moment the alloy bullet exploded, and when he woke up, he found himself here.
And there's always been a question here: "Is it a blessing or a curse? Is it right or wrong?"
No matter how Gu Yu called him, he wouldn't answer.
"You fucking lunatic..." Gu Yu cursed, seeing that the other party still ignored him.
"Do you know what the world is like?" the voice suddenly asked.
"How should I know?" Gu Yu said irritably. "Never mind what kind of person he is, just let me out."
"The sky is round, the earth is square, and they are one egg," the voice continued.
"What are you saying?" Gu Yu couldn't listen at all at this moment. Everyone knows that the earth is round, how could it be square?
"Creation is for destruction, destruction is for rebirth, and rebirth is for creation, in an endless cycle, this is what is meant by inheritance," the voice rambled on.
"Big brother, what are you talking about?" Gu Yu was helpless. The voice wouldn't answer him at all; it just kept talking to itself.
"If I live, you won't appear; if I die, you live—this is my last resort." The voice continued to mutter to itself.
"Is it a blessing or a curse? Is it right or wrong?" the voice began again with its first question.
"Big brother, can you please talk to me?" Gu Yu said helplessly.
Is it a blessing or a curse? Is it right or wrong?
"What's meant to be will be," Gu Yu suddenly said.
"What's meant to be will be," the voice suddenly murmured. "Yes! What does it matter if it's a blessing or a curse? Since it's done, what does it matter if it's right or wrong?"
“That’s right. Now that it’s done, what does it matter whether it’s right or wrong? There’s no going back.” Gu Yu said when he saw that the voice had responded.
“You’re right,” the voice said. “Alas! I wish all that I did in the past was right.”
As the sound ended, Gu Yu found that the space in front of him was blank, turning into pitch black.
"I'll reduce your gains." After a voice finished speaking, the scene in front of him switched between black and white at different times, and the switching became faster and faster, which made Gu Yu close his eyes.
"Gods and demons, awaken!" The next second, Gu Yu felt countless things drilling into his body.
Xu Ling'er, who was staring at Gu Yu, suddenly stepped back. Gu Yu's body was enveloped in gray light, and the bloody mess quickly began to heal itself under the gray light.
"A god or demon?" The dragon source within Gu Yu's blood aperture suddenly exclaimed, "He actually awakened, hahaha..."
The next second, Gu Yu's eyes snapped open, and as his eyes opened, Xu Ling'er felt her body stiffen for a moment.
At this moment, in a place of light, an old man with white hair and beard, and an air of otherworldly wisdom, suddenly opened his eyes. "Is this your backup plan, or a new beginning?"
Beneath him, in the darkness below the ground, a middle-aged man also opened his eyes, his gaze equally incredulous. "How is this possible? How can there still be?"
An elderly man sweeping the floor stopped sweeping and looked into the distance. "He finally woke up."
An elderly woman selling tofu also looked into the distance, asking, "What's that?"
A middle-aged man, exuding a black aura, suddenly awoke.
A Buddha who was giving a sermon suddenly stopped.
The same thing happened in many places, and their reactions were basically the same: shock.
In a desolate desert in the southwest of China, what was originally just a small point of light suddenly transformed into a huge screen of light, gradually becoming a gateway.
"Haha... The Source Gate is finally open! Get the Source Heart and kill it!" something shouted from inside the Source Gate.
The next second, hundreds of nuclear missiles around the portal were launched instantly, sweeping towards the portal. A deafening roar and countless screams echoed from inside the portal.
"Follow me in and slaughter these damned Source Gate creatures." A golden suit of armor suddenly appeared in the void. He stared intently at the Source Gate, and behind him appeared thousands of cultivators. They all stood in the void, and it was clear that they were all at the Spine Realm, because primordial spirits had appeared behind them.
"Dragon Clan, heed my command! Follow me into the Source Gate World and show the Source Gate creatures our power!" A figure also appeared in the void, standing side by side with the golden armor.
Although they did not want the opening of the Source Gate to happen, they had made ample preparations for it.
"Kill!" the figures in the void shouted in unison.
The next second, the golden-armored warrior and the middle-aged man flew into the Source Gate first, followed closely by the other cultivators.
Inside the gate, the air was thick with the smoke of gunpowder, the remnants of nuclear bombs.
"What a vast world! It's probably not much different from Earth," the golden-armored warrior exclaimed upon entering the world through the Source Gate.
"This world is probably quite powerful," the middle-aged man said.
"Long Aotian, let's fight our way down from here and see who kills more," said the man in golden armor.
“Alright, let’s start the fight from here,” Long Aotian said, and the two of them quickly rushed out.
At this moment, in the center of the Source Gate World, a person was extremely angry. Just as the golden armor and Long Aotian rushed out, a huge hand that covered the sky instantly descended.
Under this massive hand, the golden armored warrior and Long Aotian were immediately startled, and the two hurriedly retreated.
However, the giant hand was very fast. Even two strong people were instantly defeated by the giant hand that covered the sky and fell to the ground. Just as the giant hand was about to press down, another giant hand appeared out of thin air and knocked the descending giant hand away.
"Divine Realm and Emperor Realm, you must not intervene." A voice came from the large hand that appeared later.
"You think you can just refuse to act? I've lost so many of my people, I'm going to slaughter all of you lowly beings!" The first large hand that appeared was furious. They had been waiting for the Source Gate to open so they could wreak havoc, so the guards at the Source Gate were all elites. Little did they know that as soon as the Source Gate opened, hundreds of strange objects appeared. Those objects were extremely powerful, instantly killing tens of millions of their elites and causing them heavy losses. How could they tolerate this?
The next second, the giant hand pressed down again, and an earth-shattering aura made the golden armor and Long Aotian, who had just been defeated and fallen to the ground, feel as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them.
"How dare you!" The giant hand that appeared later suddenly slammed into the giant hand. The two collided with earth-shattering force, and the entire Source Gate World trembled. The giant hand that appeared first shattered under the impact of the collision, and a muffled groan resounded throughout the Source Gate World.
"True Gods?" The voice was filled with terror. "How could there be true gods in the Source Land? Aren't they all dead? How is this possible?"
"If you do not follow the rules, I will not hesitate to slaughter your entire clan," said the large hand that appeared later.
"One cannot act at the Emperor Realm level." The figure at the center of the Source Gate World said helplessly. As soon as he finished speaking, the large hand that had appeared slowly disappeared.
"I can't believe such a powerful being exists among humanity!" the golden-armored warrior exclaimed after the giant hand disappeared. "Why didn't he make a move and wipe out these damned bastards?"
"Perhaps there's some reason behind it!" Long Aotian said. The Golden Armor was an Emperor, but Long Aotian was only a King. That giant hand just now almost took his life. Fortunately, there were super strong humans. Otherwise, if he and the Golden Armor had died today, the human world would have been invaded instantly, and it would have been extremely difficult to fight back.
"It's a pity that the Royal Realm can't participate in the war." The golden-armored warrior said with some disappointment, his idea of wreaking havoc on all sides probably wouldn't be realized.
“It’s also good for us that the Royal Realm doesn’t participate in the war,” Long Aotian said. “After all, your energy isn’t sufficient.”
"That's enough." The golden armor turned and left the Source Gate World. At this moment, there were dozens of people in the Source Gate World who were also somewhat unwilling. They looked exactly like humans, except that their skin was golden and their height was 1.5 times that of humans. After receiving the order that the Emperor Realm could not participate in the battle, they also left one after another.
The next second, human cultivators, led by Long Aotian, clashed with the creatures of the Source Gate.
"Gu Yu?" Xu Ling'er called out as she looked at Gu Yu, whose eyes were open and whose pupils were gray. Gu Yu frightened her at this moment, a fear that came from the bottom of her heart.
Buzzing...
Just then, the blood vessels in Gu Yu's body vibrated, and his pulse points suddenly opened one after another.
In just a short moment, four pulse points were opened, and his pupils gradually returned to their normal color.
"Ling'er, I'm fine." After saying that, Gu Yu stepped forward and touched Xu Ling'er's hair. "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"It's good that you're alright." Seeing Gu Yu touch her hair, Xu Ling'er's cheeks flushed, and she shyly avoided Gu Yu's gaze.
"Yes, this is it. They're in here. If we catch them, we can get the ten million reward." At this moment, the voice of a middle-aged woman came from outside the house.
"Are you sure those are the two people on TV who are wanted?" a man asked.
"I'm sure that although the man was a bloody mess, he still had some flesh on his face, and he looked about 80% similar to the wanted criminal photo on TV just now," the middle-aged woman said.
"What if I make a mistake?" the man asked hesitantly.
"Even if it's a mistake, the money can still be spent, which is ten million!" the middle-aged woman said.
She had just gone out to visit someone and happened to see footage of a wanted criminal on her neighbor's TV. The criminal looked about 80% like Gu Yu, whom she had rescued. Considering the injuries on Gu Yu's body, it was very likely that he was injured in an explosion during the police's arrest. After all, where did they get the mines here?
I just can't understand it. What's wrong with wanted criminals these days? They can still have wives, and wives who are incredibly beautiful. Young girls must be blind.
"That's true." The man gritted his teeth, kicked open the door, and strode inside.
Upon entering the house, he was stunned to see Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er in such an ambiguous state. Wasn't Gu Yu supposed to be injured and near death? He didn't seem dying at all; he was full of energy and even flirting! But this girl was just too beautiful!
"A...monster." The woman followed closely behind, and when she walked in and saw Gu Yu, she was stunned. Good heavens! Was this still the same person who was lying on the bed, half-dead and covered in blood? If she hadn't remembered Gu Yu's face, she would have doubted that the Gu Yu in front of her was the same person as before.
"Thank you for taking us in." Xu Ling'er thanked the woman who had entered, her face pale with fright.
“You…” The woman suddenly realized that Gu Yu had previously been seriously injured and only looked about 80% like the wanted criminals on TV, but now that he had recovered, he looked exactly like him.
"Ling'er, let's go!" Gu Yu said to Xu Ling'er. The next second, he grabbed Xu Ling'er's hand and was about to leave the room.
"Don't leave! I've already reported you to the law enforcement team, you wanted criminal!" The woman blocked her way, but the thought of ten million yuan instantly dispelled her fear.
"Yes, you can't leave." The man also realized what was happening and blocked the doorway.
"A wanted criminal?" Gu Yu frowned. He knew what was going on without even thinking.
The next second, he waved his hand, and a gas billowed out, causing the woman and man to faint on the ground.
He didn't blame the woman; after all, ten million would tempt anyone, and he would have done the same in his past life.
Grabbing Xu Ling'er, his body instantly rose into the air, heading towards Xu Family Fortress at an extremely fast speed; his father was still waiting for him to save his life.
Half an hour later, Gu Yu returned to Xujiabao and quickly entered Xu Xiqiang's room, where he saw Zhang Cuiping wiping her father's body.
"Mom, let me do it!" Gu Yu said. In his previous life, because he was in the ICU, Gu Yu couldn't get in at all, so he never served his father or did what a son should do. This was something he regretted for a long time.
Gu Yu channeled a stream of Origin Qi into Gu Zhongyi's body, and then carefully wiped Gu Zhongyi's body.
As he wiped his body, his pupils instantly turned gray. In his eyes, Gu Zhongyi's body had changed; he could see Gu Zhongyi's blood vessels, bones, and internal organs, etc.
Although we don't know what happened to him, he has gained a primordial spirit and the ability to detect things ahead of time.
Gu Zhongyi's condition is indeed very serious, even more serious than Xu Xiqiang described.
"Wait for me. In this lifetime, I will definitely save you, at any cost," Gu Yu murmured.
Gu Yu's pupils gradually returned to their normal color. Although he possessed a primordial spirit, it was not entirely under his control and could even cloud his mind, so he dared not use it.
He took out the jadeite rough from the source space and began to set up the formation.
Xu Xiqiang was astonished to see Gu Yu placing pieces of raw jade in different positions in the courtyard.
"Good heavens! This kid knows how to set up formations? That's incredible!"
About an hour later, Gu Yu had set up the Gathering Source Array and the Guiding Array. Then, with a wave of his hand, thousands of strands of source energy spread out, and Xu Xiqiang's entire courtyard became shrouded in mist, just like a fairyland.
"Origin Qi? Where did he get such a large amount of Origin Qi?" Xu Xiqiang, who was already shocked, was even more shocked when he saw this scene.
Entering the room, Gu Yu looked at Gu Zhongyi, who was being nourished by Origin Qi. Gu Yu then looked at Zhang Cuiping, and with a flick of his hand, a stream of Origin Qi entered Zhang Cuiping's body.
"Mom, don't worry, Dad won't die. I'll save him. Trust me. I'll be away for a while. Remember to take care of yourself." Gu Yu said to Zhang Cuiping. To be honest, whether in his past or present life, Gu Yu wasn't very good at comforting people.
