Chapter 127: The Millennium Covenant God Lu Wudao: I am them, they...
Above the nine heavens, there is a boundless pure land; beneath the mysterious earth, there is an endless darkness.
In the Divine Realm, within the Imperial Capital's Yaotai, Tianquan Star Lord was passing by Lingxiao Palace when he spotted a white figure swiftly passing by. He couldn't help but stop and stare at it several times before asking Taibai Star Lord beside him, "Who is that immortal? Why is he so anxious in front of the Jade Emperor's Palace?"
Taibai Xingjun stroked his beard and replied, "That is the Supreme God Luwu."
"Lu Wu? Could he be the man who participated in the chaotic battle two thousand years ago? He was punished after the battle and remained unknown for a thousand years. He's a rare sight today."
"Hehehe." Taibai Xingjun laughed meaningfully. "The beloved I've waited for a thousand years is finally back. Shouldn't I be anxious to take care of her?"
"...Sweetheart?"
Above the Nine Heavens Cloud Palace, in the Kunlun Imperial Garden, two immortal maidens were playing with Wen Yushu. Seeing a tall, sturdy figure approaching on the clouds, they immediately stopped their chatter, nodded, and said solemnly, "Immortal Lord Luwu."
I saw that Immortal Lord Luwu was wearing nine-scale armor and had a head full of snow-white hair. He was extremely handsome, majestic and strong, especially his pair of golden phoenix eyes. When he looked into people's eyes, he was breathtaking.
"Well, you don't have to worry about me. Just continue to guard here."
He took a quick look, left only this sentence, and then flew away in a hurry into the depths of the garden.
"I don't know what's blowing today, but Immortal Lord Luwu is so good-tempered." The colorful fairy tilted her head, watching the receding figure. "If it were any other time, she would have reprimanded us for neglecting our duties."
The Fairy in White Clothes also said repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad. But where is he going? The area ahead is the forbidden area of the Imperial Garden..."
"Hey, Fairy Sister, please don't talk nonsense. There is clearly an immortal tree over there—"
Wen Yushu had subconsciously tried to refute her, but at this point he fell silent. His emerald eyes blinked, and suddenly his whole body trembled. He muttered to himself, "Yeah, why did he go there? Could it be... he's back?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a strong wind suddenly blew. The two fairies immediately raised their arms to block it, only to see Wen Yushu immediately transform into a green light and follow Lu Wu.
"Immortal Lord Luwu!"
Wen Yushu called out urgently, but Lu Wu's pace did not slow down at all. In a few breaths, he had reached the depths of the imperial garden. He removed the isolation barrier that had existed for a thousand years and stepped into it with his long legs.
Wen Yushu thought to himself that it was bad, and immediately increased his speed, so that he could slip in before the barrier closed.
The scene before my eyes is still the same dilapidated scene it was a thousand years ago, with withered grass and trees, and a bleak wind. Only an ancient tree still stands in the garden.
Its roots are tangled and its height is like a canopy, which can be said to be a tree supporting the sky, but its branches and leaves are withered, as if it has fallen into eternal sleep.
"Ganmu..."
Wen Yushu couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw his old friend in such a state, but he saw that Lu Wu was actually standing in front of the tree, reaching out and gently stroking its roots, muttering something, and his whole body was full of divine power.
"Hey, you—"
Wen Yushu questioned, but saw that Lu Wu turned a deaf ear to him and became more focused. The divine power in his body circulated faster and faster, and a bright light suddenly appeared, forcing him to cover his eyes.
Then, the air began to change.
A clear, pleasant, yet doubtful voice suddenly sounded, echoing in this imperial garden.
"Where am I...?"
***
When Gu Congxing regained his vision, he felt that he was still dreaming.
The scenery before him was filled with auspicious clouds, jade steps, white walls, and a gathering of spiritual plants, a place of boundless mystery. Even the most spiritually abundant treasure land in Hexu Continent would be a far cry from this place.
What seemed most unreal to him was the man in front of him.
It was clear that he was a stranger, but every part of him made Gu Congxing feel inexplicably familiar. Even the pair of eyes staring at him made his heart tremble.
It was not just surprise and familiarity, but also some indescribable sourness and pain that even Gu Congxing himself found difficult to distinguish.
"Who are you?"
As he asked this question, inexplicable thoughts surged in his mind.
He had clearly seen this person somewhere before...
"My name is Lu Wu."
He spoke immediately, his voice majestic and pleasant, with a slight tremor, like the echo of jade colliding.
"Ganmu, you are finally back."
Gu Congxing listened to his words and suddenly knew where this familiar feeling came from!
——This voice is exactly the same as the voice I heard in the underworld after my self-destruction!
"You, you were...at that time..."
Gu Congxing was shocked and stood up immediately, but Lu Wu remained motionless, staring at him deeply. His fingertips moved slightly, but were clenched again.
He seemed to have a thousand words to say, but when he got to his lips, he could only fall into silence. Gu Congxing also had many questions to ask, but he looked around and frowned slightly:
"Where are the others? Master, Senior Brother, Junior Brother, Si Junjian... Why can't I see them?"
Lu Wu's eyes moved slightly, and he opened his mouth to answer, but at this moment a cry of surprise suddenly rang out.
"A-Amamu--!! You actually came back!"
Gu Congxing immediately turned around to look, only to see the person coming in with a jade hairpin and a green shirt, with lush green branches and leaves wrapped around her in the breeze, but her face was pretty and lovely, with tears in her green eyes.
As he spoke, he rushed to Gu Congxing, opened his mouth and opened his arms to hug him before he even stood still. Gu Congxing immediately stepped back a few steps and saw him standing there in a daze, as if he was extremely surprised and full of grievances.
"Ganmu! Have you ever been to the lower realm and you don't recognize me?! I'm Wenyu, we grew up together in the Divine Garden!"
Gu Congxing was completely at a loss as she looked at his tearful expression. She could only subconsciously retort, "What Wenyu, what Shenyuan? Did you find the wrong person? Besides, my name is Gu Congxing, and your name is Ganmu--"
Wait, Ganmu?
Isn't this the name that suddenly popped up in my mind when I wanted to hide my identity?
Ganmu, Ganmu...
It was like a rhizome being pulled out of the soil, and with a little force, the tangled meridians were pulled out, carrying with them countless sounds and images.
Ganmu... This is not someone else's name, it is indeed my own name!
And this name is not his real name.
His real name, his true identity——
A silent wave of rage had already surged in Gu Congxing's heart. He turned stiffly as if struck hard, and looked up at the towering ancient tree.
Immortal tree.
Born in the ruins of Kunlun, grew in the imperial garden, a sacred tree that took a hundred years to take shape and a thousand years to be shaped!
He almost lost his balance, but still stretched out his hand towards the tree as if being pulled by an invisible giant.
“Crash—”
At the moment of contact, golden light surged above the roots of the tree, and new buds sprouted from the dead branches, bringing the dead back to life!
Thousands of years of memories unfolded like a scroll, eager to rush back into his sea of consciousness. Gu Congxing suddenly opened his eyes wide, only to feel a splitting headache. He screamed and fell backwards!
"From the stars!"
"Ganmu!"
The voices of Lu Wu and Wen Yu rang out at the same time, and the next moment Gu Congxing fell into a broad embrace. His hands touched the cold armor, which brought him back to his senses slightly.
"You..." Gu Congxing held his forehead and looked back, unexpectedly colliding into those golden eyes, "You just called me Congxing."
"Who are you?" He propped himself up, raised his head and approached Lu Wu, his eyes gleaming with golden light. "Who am I?"
Lu Wu lowered his head and looked at him, his throat heaving, his slender five fingers trembling in the air, and finally he gently placed them on his shoulder.
"You are the immortal tree, Ganmu. Your name in the underworld is Gu Congxing of the Gu clan."
His voice was originally low and carried a natural majesty, but now he spoke more slowly, it was firm and gentle, and even had a hint of tenderness.
"And I..."
When he talked about himself, he was more hesitant, his eyes moved slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed across them.
"I am the god Lu Wu. When I was in the lower realm... I was Chen Mu, and also Zhong Ming. I was Lan Jue, and also Si Jun Jian."
Gu Congxing's pupils suddenly shrank, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"You, what do you mean—"
"I am them and they are me."
Lu Wu repeated it again, and the last trace of hesitation between his brows disappeared. His golden eyes reflected Gu Congxing's face, which was a little pale due to excessive shock.
"Ganmu... From the stars..."
He called softly, lowered his head to him, and their foreheads touched.
A soothing warmth came from the place where their skin touched, and Gu Congxing felt as if he had fallen into the arms of his master again, being embraced by him and receiving spiritual power.
But what Lu Wu sent was not spiritual power, but divine power.
Divine power is a bridge, carrying endless sounds and paintings——
"Since regaining your memory will cause you pain, I will go through it hand in hand with you."
"I've seen thousands of mountains and rivers, tasted love, hate, infatuation and anger, but in fact, you have never forgotten..."
"—Just as I have never left your side..."
…………
…
"Ganmu! Ganmu!"
Gu Congxing looked up suddenly when he heard the voice and saw a light green figure in front of him.
"Wenyu...?"
Strange, was I asleep? Why is my head so groggy and my consciousness not clear?
He rubbed his eyes and stood up. Wen Yu leaned over again and looked at him carefully.
"Ganmu, what's wrong with you? You just condensed your immortal body not long ago. Are you sick?"
Gu Congxing blinked, feeling that something was still amiss, but unable to pinpoint the cause. He simply replied perfunctorily, "Can gods get sick? Then what's the point of us congealing this shell?"
"Hey—you're so bold! Luckily that old-fashioned Lu Wu isn't here, or he'd definitely give you a lecture!"
Luwu?
Just hearing this name, unknown ripples began to appear in his heart, and his thoughts were drawn away.
The god Luwu...is in charge of the imperial garden and is also responsible for guarding the nine realms.
He muttered in his heart, and cast his gaze behind Wen Yu——
The Ruins of Kunlun, the Imperial Garden Nursery. This place teems with life, a gathering of heroes, and an endless expanse of greenery. Besides incarnations of divine trees like him and Wen Yu, there are also numerous immortal flowers and exotic species, some of whom have yet to master the art of form concentration, their feathered garments still stained with lingering petals.
Although he and Wen Yu looked like teenagers, they were actually the oldest in the imperial garden, over a thousand years old.
Gu Congxing walked to the side of the spirit pool and looked at the blurry reflection in the water.
It is naturally elegant and graceful, bright and clear, just like a jade carving.
He just felt that this face was familiar in every way, but it was a little more childish and delicate, and seemed to be less aggressive and sharp.
He was lost in thought when he heard a commotion coming from the Langyuan Immortal Flower Garden. Wen Yu then leaned over to his side and whispered, "Ganmu! Lu Wu is back... and he's injured!"
Gu Congxing frowned unconsciously: "He was injured?"
"Yes! He was fierce to begin with, and now he's even scarier!" Wen Yu leaned over to his ear, his breath falling on his neck. "I heard he was ordered to fight the divine beast drum, but he didn't win!"
"Look, he looks even scarier now that he's covered in blood... Hey! Why is he looking over here?!"
Wen Yu froze in an instant, his eyes shifting as he suddenly said, "I understand! He must have known that your fruit has miraculous healing properties, and he wants to steal your fruit!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Congxing suddenly looked up and saw the tall white shadow stained with blood.
The god Lu Wu had a cold face and a heavy gaze. After staring at him for a moment, he actually waved his spear and walked towards them.
"Oh no! Ganmu, hurry up and leave——"
Wen Yu cursed inwardly and stood in front of Gu Congxing, but unexpectedly, Lu Wu was already in front of them in the blink of an eye.
He was nine feet tall, clad in silver armor, and even though he was injured, he was still imposing.
He lowered his head slightly, and his tall and strong body cast a shadow, covering Wen Yu and Gu Congxing.
Gu Congxing swallowed silently, cold sweat pouring down his body, and Wen Yu's body in his sight began to tremble slightly.
What should I do? Should I offer him the Immortality Fruit?
He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he heard a low voice.
"The Qiongyan Spiritual Pond may appear peaceful, but it is actually fraught with danger."
Gu Congxing:?
Wen Yu:?
There was still blood on Lu Wu's forehead, but his expression was still meticulous, just like when he was disciplining spiritual plants on a daily basis.
"It's dangerous here, we can't stay here any longer."
As he said this, he picked up the two incarnations of the sacred trees, one in each hand.
Gu Congxing: “……?”
