Chapter 100 Chapter 100 Hating him is okay
Meng Yuci knew very well that the Tianxuan Secret Realm was a dead end.
The only person who can devour and prevent the remnant of the gods from taking over the bodies of monks is Ji Chu; but if she really does so, she will have to die with the gods.
Heaven put this situation on Ji Chu, taking advantage of her kindness and justice, and forcing her to die voluntarily.
But why?
Why did he have to watch her die in front of him for two lifetimes?
To save the world of cultivation?
He sneered in his heart.
What's the point of saving the world of cultivation without Ji Chu?
He has already experienced the pain of losing Ji Chu once. When people's hearts are filled with evil, what difference does it make whether he saves him or not?
What's more, Ji Chu's life needs to be saved.
He doesn't want to save.
He has never been a selfless person. He also has selfish desires, and there are people he absolutely cannot give up on.
In the past, Ji Chu could do whatever he wanted.
She wanted to steal the divine bones, kill the Venerable Wuzhu, and use her special abilities to avenge her past life, and he could help her.
But now, it’s not possible.
From the moment he saw his past life self, he had already made a choice in his heart.
He wants to protect Ji Chu.
No one's life is more precious than Ji Chu's, not even his own.
He must protect Ji Chu!
Disaster clouds gathered above his head.
His eyes fell on the water in front of him. When Ji Chu jumped in to save people, he did not stop him because he knew that another "him" would stop Ji Chu.
From the very beginning, the appearance of "him" in his previous life was to force him to die for Ji Chu.
"He" hated his own powerlessness, and thus became more and more paranoid and extreme. He would rather sacrifice his own life in exchange for Ji Chu's life.
But he did not stop it, because he could understand the despair and resentment of his previous life.
Why was it Ji Chu who died in the previous life instead of him?
Why did Heaven plot all these things, but Ji Chu had to die?
In his previous life, he was just one step slow at the beginning, and from then on he could no longer go against his destiny.
Unable to protect Ji Chu, unable to stop Ji Chu, even in the end, unable to save Ji Chu, could only watch her die...
How could he bear to see these scenes happen again?
He originally wanted to help her get everything she wanted, wanted to help her defeat the Last God and save everyone, but now he can only stop her himself.
But to Ji Chu, doing so would mean that he was breaking his promise and deceiving her.
Maybe she would hate him...
She finally began to hate him.
Meng Yuci thought.
Even if you hate him, it doesn't matter.
As long as she lives.
He will help her solve all her troubles, and no one will threaten or hurt her anymore. She can practice the sword art she wants and become the person she wants to be.
She doesn't have any deep feelings for herself, and sooner or later she will let go of everything and pursue the life she wants.
But the thought of a life without him, and perhaps even with someone else accompanying her, touching her, hugging her, and kissing her, made him feel an uncontrollable surge of violence in his heart, urging him to take her away without a care in the world, and never care about anything here again...
…
Meng Yuci finally withdrew his gaze.
He had tried it in his previous life, but relying solely on the Golden Immortal Thunder Tribulation was not enough to destroy this secret realm.
——He has to become a demon.
The heavenly thunder that kills and turns one into a demon, plus the thunder tribulation that makes one transcend to the Golden Immortal in a demonic body, is enough to cause the wrath of Heaven. The thunder tribulation at that time should be enough.
Ice gathered on the ground, casting shadows beneath it.
The black shadow was not as chaotic and difficult to distinguish as ordinary demonic energy. Instead, it was calm and indifferent, and a pair of eyes exactly like his were filled with a cold understanding.
"Have you thought it through?"
The black shadow—Meng Yuci from the previous life—spoke:
"You've suppressed your spiritual power well in this life, so you have a chance of avoiding this calamity. Once you're possessed by the devil, even if you manage to survive, there's no turning back."
"He" wasn't trying to dissuade him.
"He" is him. In this world, he understands himself best and understands the importance of Ji Chu to himself best.
This question is not meant to dissuade, but to confirm.
Confirm that the past and present lives, the hearts of the two lives, remain the same as always.
Meng Yuci's expression remained unchanged, and he answered with actions.
The Shaowei sword was unsheathed, the blade gleaming coldly, and suddenly smashed into the ice surface.
For the first time, he had no resistance or fear towards becoming a demon.
Just as Ji Chu said, whether it is a demon or an immortal, it is just a title. It will not affect what he wants to do at all, nor will it shake his heart.
The evil spirit attached itself to his body. This inner demon from his previous life was so familiar to him. Every thought and every breath was written with Ji Chu's name and engraved with Ji Chu's eyebrows.
The memories of past and present lives are mixed together.
One moment it was Ji Chu from her previous life, she was hurt, hiding in the dark and grieving, the moment she saw him her eyes became wary and distant;
A moment later, Ji Chu of this life appeared, his eyes bright as he danced with a sword with great energy, showing him that he had learned a new sword technique...
The red marks spread to the corners of his eyes, making his already cold and indifferent eyebrows and eyes look a little weird and unpredictable.
The calamity clouds had already dyed half of the sky black, and were still gathering.
The entire secret realm was completely blocked by this huge calamity cloud. Everywhere one looked was dark and gloomy, with no sunlight.
However, the calamity cloud did not stop expanding, but continued to grow thicker. Thunder and lightning were like a silver dragon tumbling endlessly in the cloud, howling and roaring, full of murderous intent, as if the Heaven was furious and was brewing a punishment that would destroy the heavens and the earth.
Just by taking a look at the lightning that was rolling in the calamity cloud, Xu Ying already felt like she had a toothache.
The last time she saw a thunder tribulation was when she and Ji Chu reached the Zhen realm together. At that time, she already felt it was terrifying enough.
The thunderbolts drawn by the three Zhenjing cultivators were enough to split the Fuyu Xianzong's mountain into rubble. If it weren't for the Yingyuan Pill's blessing and the kind-hearted people who helped protect them, the three of them would have been reduced to charcoal.
She couldn't help but ask Jiang Chengxu:
"Is the Golden Immortal Thunder Tribulation so terrifying? Is it really possible for a human to withstand it?"
"It's more than just the Golden Immortal Thunder Tribulation."
Jiang Chengxu looked at the calamity clouds in the sky, his expression more solemn than ever before:
"There is also the Demon-Slaying Thunder Tribulation."
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Ying thought optimistically:
"Did the Heavenly Dao know about the Last God's mischief and come to exorcise it?"
Jiang Chengxu looked at her with a strange expression:
"If Heaven had known the gods were like this, they would have eliminated the demon long ago. Why would they wait until today?"
Xu Ying's expression became even more confused:
"What does this mean?"
She was impatient:
"It's already this late and you're still playing the riddle man. Why do you keep saying only half of what you're saying?"
Chen Wu's mouth was covered and he couldn't speak. He looked puzzled when he heard this.
"Not the Last God..."
A weak voice came from the side.
Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu looked in the direction of the voice. Chen Wu was unable to move and also moved his eyes away.
Zhongli Bai was seen holding a square compass with trembling hands. The needle on the compass was spinning wildly, as if it was going to take him into the sky in the next moment.
He murmured again with horror in his eyes:
"Not the Last God... Not the Last God..."
Xu Ying has a bad temper and can't stand others talking halfway. She tolerated Jiang Chengxu, but Zhongli Bai was always weird and unreliable when he was in the City of the Dead. Now he seems to be possessed by a ghost and can only say this one sentence.
Unable to bear it any longer, she punched the ball of light that enveloped Zhongli Bai, knocking him over in the water.
"What on earth is this?!"
Zhongli Bai rolled over under the worried gazes of Chen Wu and Jiang Chengxu, then turned back to his original position.
He felt dizzy and retched silently for a few times before saying:
"It's Senior Brother Meng, he's going to be possessed by a demon!"
"This thunderbolt is meant to strike Senior Brother Meng!"
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"
He looked crazy, like a scholar in the mortal world who had studied hard for decades and suddenly passed the imperial examination overnight. If he had not been trapped in the ball of light, Xu Ying and the others had no doubt that he would go out into the streets barefoot and go crazy.
Even Xu Ying didn't dare to hit him again in this state.
So the three people from Fu Yu Xian Zong watched Zhong Li Bai go crazy in silence, one moment saying something like "this is how the last god was solved in the previous life", the next moment saying something like "if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let Ji Chu get involved".
Xu Ying glanced at Jiang Chengxu:
"You watch over them. I'll go downstairs to find Ji Chu first..."
Before Jiang Chengxu could answer, Zhong Libai, who had been immersed in his own world, suddenly shuddered and shouted:
"no!"
Xu Ying was startled by him, and then angrily scolded:
"You dare to stop me?! Ji Chu fell down to save you!"
"So we can't let her come back."
Zhongli Bai raised his head, looked at the beating "heart" above his head, and murmured:
"We can't let her die for us..."
*
Ji Chu took a deep breath and told himself to stay calm.
"Brother, you can't do this. It's not the final step yet. We can still find another way."
Now that Ji Chu had discovered him, Meng Yuci no longer concealed the demonic aura within him.
His black eyes were deep, his black hair was like a waterfall, and the ice cast a layer of cold blue light. The light was rotating, casting an unpredictable shadow on his cold and pale face.
The slightly upturned corners of his eyes were tinged with red, adding a touch of weirdness and strangeness to his appearance.
Ji Chu hasn't thought about his senior brother from his previous life for a long time.
What she said before was not an excuse, but because in her eyes, her relationship with her senior brother in her previous life was indeed average, and even developed in a deteriorating direction.
So she never thought that her senior brother would like her.
She never even thought that her senior brother would be possessed by the devil and develop obsessions and inner demons... because of her?
So the senior brothers she met in her dreams twice before were both her senior brothers from her previous life?
Does senior brother know about this?
He should know, otherwise he wouldn't look angry but unable to explain...
Until now, Ji Chu still felt that this was absurd, bizarre and unbelievable. After all, it was already outrageous enough that she could be reborn. The fact that her senior brother in her previous life actually teamed up with her senior brother in this life to deceive her was simply unbelievable and unheard of.
Are they crazy?
wrong.
Is he crazy, brother?
"I'm crazy."
The senior brother's cold fingertips touched her cheek lightly, not the soothing touch of the past, but a trembling approach:
"Ji Chu, I regret it."
The cold and silent voice concealed uncontrollable pain:
"I regret not being able to come out of seclusion in time to save you that day. I regret not being able to express my feelings to you every time I see you. What I regret most is that I couldn't keep you at the foot of the mountain that day..."
Ji Chu frowned:
"Brother, what are you talking about? Let me go first——"
The hand on the side of her face suddenly wrapped around her neck, pulling her upper body closer to him.
His eyes were fixed on her face. Through those eyes like cold ponds, Ji Chu saw clearly for the first time the madness and despair surging at the bottom of the silent pond.
The pain and longing that he had suppressed for two lifetimes were finally revealed to her.
She felt bewildered and helpless.
The evil energy surrounding her tied her tightly to the bed, making her unable to move, but her upper body was pressed down by her senior brother, moving closer to him.
She could feel his fingertips pressing and stroking the feather flowers on the back of her neck.
This action was exactly the same as that of her senior brother in this life, but this senior brother in front of her insisted on asking her:
"Ji Chu, how can you treat me as a thing of the past and throw me away just like that?"
