A terrifying pressure emanated from Yan Jiu, instantly pinning Luo Hou to the spot.
Luo Hou stared intently at Yan Jiu.
The curved horns were covered with blood-red runes, and the face beneath them was extremely similar to Yan Jiu in his human form, yet with subtle differences. The most striking difference was the heterochromatic eyes, which were filled with ruthlessness and bloodlust.
Luo Hou glanced at it only once, and blood tears streamed from his eyes beneath the mask. He dared not look directly at it again.
The king they had been searching for was finally before them, yet they had repeatedly defied him.
Rahu regretted his actions.
The Asura King was born in the abyss and is the source of evil. Yan Jiu's personality is so similar, why didn't he think of the Asura King?
Is it a cruel twist of fate?
Or is it retribution for his sins?
Rahu raised his right hand and slapped his forehead, his tone both infatuated and pleading.
Rahu uttered the king's whispered words of forgiveness, his small voice mingled with almost inaudible cries of pain, pulsating in the darkness, trapping all the churning emotions in the embrace of the night—it was the cry of Rahu's soul before it vanished.
Yan Jiu didn't even glance at Luo Hou's corpse; she carefully led Zhong Heng out.
The sky remained dark, as if the ending for today had already been foretold, destined to be unpleasant.
Yan Jiu despised her own incompetence; once again, she had failed to protect the person she wanted to protect.
When Lang Zongyi appeared, Yan Jiu sat next to Zhong Heng, like a child who had lost something he loved.
The feeling was like a small, weak pearl bird desperately flapping its wings in the dead of winter, trying to find a treetop to perch on and rest.
Lang Zongyi extended his hand.
This allows the pearl bird to rest.
Yan Jiu grasped Lang Zongyi's index fingertip: "Senior brother, I watched Master die in front of me once again."
She rarely showed her vulnerable side, and she couldn't understand why things could happen so coincidentally today.
Where did Rahu get her domain? It's amazing that she can specifically target humans, forcing Zhong Heng, who already had no will to live, to his death, and even leaving him without a soul.
It has no soul.
It means there is no afterlife.
Yan Jiu frowned: "Even Asuras have souls, so why doesn't Master? Is he like Senior Brother?"
From Wu Jiu's words, we know that she is also an Asura, but she never expected that after exhausting all her spiritual power, she would directly transform into the Asura appearance in her dream.
She knew that it wasn't her, but rather a fragment of her soul that had merged with Lang Zongyi's.
In her past life, her master had instructed her not to expend all her spiritual power. Did her master already know this moment was coming?
How would you know?
Just as Yan Jiu was filled with doubts.
Zhong Heng's figure transformed into a tiny, rice-grain-sized firefly glow, gradually dissipating.
Yan Jiu couldn't catch him at all.
Lang Zongyi stared at the aura emanating from the faint light, a feeling that was both familiar and poignant.
His expression was complicated, and he didn't know where to begin.
Yan Jiu noticed Lang Zongyi's change: "Senior brother, do you know what's going on?"
Lang Zongyi has no memory of being a disciple; he can remain calm as if he were just an audience member.
Among the dissipating aura of Zhong Heng was an aura that restrained Lang Zongyi. It was an aura that enveloped the entire underworld and prevented Lang Zongyi from leaving the underworld; it was the aura of the Heavenly Dao.
Yan Jiu murmured, "Master is also the Heavenly Dao..."
Lang Zongyi fell into deep thought.
Where does the character “也” come from?
It seems that Yan Jiu has experienced a lot during his absence.
Yan Jiu was unaware of Lang Zongyi's true feelings.
She recalled the divination she performed for Zhong Heng in Yan Qingxuan's live stream—a predestined relationship but no life together.
Why are we destined to be together but unable to stay together?
Since we are destined to be together, we cannot be without any connection, unless one of us is destined to perish and never cross paths again.
If Zhong Heng is part of the Heavenly Dao, then everything can be explained.
The system is the true nature of the Heavenly Dao, Wu Nian is the Heavenly Dao's open chess piece, and Zhong Heng is the hidden chess piece, all to guide them along the path of the Heavenly Dao.
When Yan Jiu dreamed of the Asura King, she saw that in every world she could not live past the age of three. At that time, she wondered why she could live past the age of three in this world. It turned out that it was not because she was lucky to live past the age of three, but because the way of heaven allowed her to live.
Think about it carefully.
In both Yan Jiu's past and present lives, there is one more person: Zhong Heng, who is also her teacher, friend, and father.
Zhong Heng changed everything.
No wonder she transmigrated to a parallel world; it's not surprising that the Heavenly Dao intervened.
Yan Jiu looked up at the sky: "What is His purpose?"
Yan Jiu's mood was complicated at this moment, like a vanilla latte with ice. Stirring it with a silver spoon made Yan Jiu's thinking ability very limited.
Even after learning that her master was the Heavenly Dao, Yan Jiu could not harbor any resentment towards him. Her master had already done everything in his power, yet in the end, he still did not have a good outcome.
Lang Zongyi thought for a moment and shook his head: "What we can know is that Heaven's Way has not gained the upper hand."
The Heavenly Dao brought Zhong Heng into existence so that Yan Jiu would abandon her desire to destroy the world.
He never expected that Zhong Heng would develop feelings and love, nor did he expect that Zhong Heng would be so open and honest with his disciple.
The Heavenly Dao granted Zhong Heng a century of solitude, yet it could not dispel the emotions within him. Compared to the naturally simple system and the infallible Wuxin, Zhong Heng bore all the emotions and desires of the Heavenly Dao, which is why he was uncontrollable.
After making up her mind, Yan Jiu felt relieved. She looked in the direction of the sky and said firmly, "If He can make Master appear once, He can also make Master appear a second time."
Heroes don't need sympathy, they only need admiration.
Lang Zongyi did not press for details: "Whatever you want to do, I will be with you."
Yan Jiu looked back at the people around her.
Listen to this.
These words are hard not to think about.
Is it alright for her to think about it a little more?
Yan Jiu patted Lang Zongyi on the shoulder, a smile playing on his lips: "This is what my senior brother said."
