Chapter 248 The Movie King (19)
Lu Lingjun felt his confidence had been hit, and sadly reached out to hold Gu Yanjing's hand.
Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, then broke free.
No, what if you're really so devastated that you can't recover? What if the Phoenix Clan comes looking for you?
Gu Yanjing thought that this was the only wave tonight, but he didn't expect that there would be another wave tonight, and that they would be natives of this plane.
They can't fight back, and they like to dawdle and complain, which is really annoying.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Suzaku. We met before." The man in the lightest outfit was wearing a black trench coat, which matched the attire of the man in front of him.
"Hmm, I don't remember. What was it called?" Gu Yan glanced at the dishes with regret. They were still warm, and although the soup had spilled, they were still edible in the spirit of not wasting food.
However, if it's delayed any longer, the taste won't be as good.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanjing's brows furrowed with impatience.
Zhang Zhiqi was very humble and didn't feel there was anything wrong with not being remembered.
He knows big shots.
"I am Zhang Zhiqi, Your Majesty. I told Your Majesty last time that many people in our world know that they will be replaced by transmigrators. We have formed an alliance, the Anti-Chosen Ones Alliance."
"A makeshift operation? Hmm, not a bad name." Gu Yanjing's gaze remained fixed on the takeout box in Lu Lingjun's hand; he wanted to eat it, he was craving it.
Zhang Zhiqi forced a smile, feeling that his achievements in his twenties were nothing but garbage in the eyes of someone who was born at the top.
But he couldn't say anything; he could only beg this person, because they were weak.
Being powerless is the most painful thing in the world.
"Even a makeshift team has its uses, doesn't it? Your Majesty is aware of the anomalies in this plane, isn't he? We know the secrets of this plane, doesn't Your Majesty want to know?"
Zhang Zhiqi gradually tempted Gu Yanjing, hoping to bring her into his alliance.
"Not interested. Let's not talk business anymore. I'm going back to get some late-night snacks." Gu Yanjing straightened his sleeves, showing no interest.
He was happy to see such alliances formed by mutual consent, but he didn't like to get involved.
They're full of nonsense, a bunch of idiots who think they can defy fate and change their destiny, but they're still getting crushed by the heavens.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a serious matter?" To defy fate, to live for oneself, to refuse to be controlled by a predetermined destiny—this is a momentous matter.
They've waited so long for this, finally finding a big shot, how could they just let him get away so easily?
"That's it?" Is that really a big deal?
"Does His Majesty not value the lives of a thousand people?" Zhang Zhiqi stepped forward in disbelief.
"Would you care about the life or death of a thousand ants?" Gu Yanjing slowly walked to Lu Lingjun's side.
Lu Lingjun took Gu Yanjing's hand: "Don't worry, it's still warm." He had been using his reversed ice-attribute divine power to keep warm.
"It's rare to see someone so sensible." Gu Yanjing gently rubbed Lu Lingjun's hand; this was the first time in so many years that she had taken the initiative to touch Lu Lingjun.
It was all for three bowls of food.
Lu Lingjun didn't know whether to feel heartbroken or happy.
Damn it, all his efforts in bed can't compare to heating up three plates of food. What am I going to do? I'm so angry.
"Let's go back." They had just had a fight, and if he continued to exhaust himself like this, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to spend the night with his beloved.
"Hmm." Gu Yanjing casually withdrew his hand.
Two people flying together is difficult; if their speeds are different, they are more likely to crash into a wall.
Behind him, Zhang Zhiqi and his group tried to step forward to stop Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing was their only hope after all their scheming; they couldn't just give up like this.
However, a sharp ice spike suddenly appeared on the ground, blocking their path.
"If you want to live, don't follow us. Your plans have absolutely nothing to do with us." Lu Lingjun transformed into a giant phoenix, his eyes blazing with ghostly fire, and he certainly didn't look like a kind soul.
Threatened, everyone dared not speak or step forward, and could only watch helplessly as Lu Lingjun carried Gu Yanjing away.
After Lu Lingjun left, the icicles on the ground silently melted into water and slowly evaporated, leaving no trace.
This battle resulted in the death of a deity, causing significant upheaval, but in the end, it was as if nothing had happened.
The next day, photos taken by netizens who stayed up late at night appeared on the trending topics. The photos showed the battle of the previous night, with a huge phantom of the Vermilion Bird and an ice-blue phoenix illuminating half of the sky.
Some people quickly guessed that it was Gu Yanjing and Lu Lingjun.
After all, the real-life counterparts of these two seem to match up.
However, at this time, Gu Yanjing was not in this plane at all; he had taken Lu Lingjun to the Heavenly Realm.
He's going to get his Vermilion Bird Palace back. Luckily, the Vermilion Bird Palace is a palace-type magical artifact that he can take with him at any time.
Ye Anjing was injured last night and didn't have time to deal with them. Even though they took the Vermilion Bird Palace away and wreaked havoc on the Heavenly Realm again, Ye Anjing still didn't have time to come out and deal with them.
On the contrary, it was because Gu Yanjing returned to the Heavenly Realm repeatedly and recklessly that he, a person who had been expelled from the Heavenly Realm, returned to the Heavenly Realm as if he were returning home.
Even yesterday, they executed the new Southern Emperor, Zhe Yang.
Such arrogance makes one wonder if it's because the Heavenly Emperor Gu didn't actually perish and is supporting His Majesty the Vermilion Bird behind the scenes, which is why Gu Yanjing has the audacity to directly confront Ye Anjing.
Gu Yan was shocked: I don't need any backing. I am the big boss who can dominate the world.
After Gu Yanjing took over the Vermilion Bird Palace, he didn't forget to make a trip to the Demon Realm. Wu Yu had also interfered in his brother's affairs, and then Wu Yu was killed by Gu Junsi.
It has to be said that his older brother has a good eye; he casually picked a fox demon, and it turned out to be a big shot. In comparison, his older brother seems like the weakling.
The Demon Lord, whom even a weakling could kill easily, was killed by his elder brother after more than ten attempts.
Even when he went in person, he couldn't kill him.
this......
He went to Gu Junsi to retrieve the things that Gu Yanci had left in the Heavenly Realm.
Everything Gu Yanci left in the Heavenly Realm was taken to the Demon Realm by Gu Junsi, including the box containing his memories.
"Wait for me outside, I can go in by myself." Gu Yanjing shook off Lu Lingjun's hand and stuffed the leftover hawthorn ball into Lu Lingjun's hand.
It's so sour it makes my teeth ache, I don't want to eat it.
Lu Lingjun obediently stood outside the Demon Realm, eating hawthorn balls one after another, waiting for Gu Yanjing to come back and pick him up.
However, he did not expect that Gu Yanjing would take a long time to return.
Even Gu Junsi went to the human realm to find Gu Yanci several times, but Gu Yanjing still hasn't returned.
Although Lu Lingjun was getting impatient, he remained waiting in the same spot.
The seven people in the Xiangsi Tower had long since made him accustomed to waiting, accustomed to the days of Gu Yanjing.
However, looking at his empty palms, and sensing Gu Yanjing's location through the Ice Soul Bead worn around her neck, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
People say that a wife, children, and a warm bed are essential.
I may never have children in this lifetime, but I have a wife and a warm bed, so why can't I have more?
Meanwhile, in the human realm, Gu Congxin had been living a very happy life these past few days. With his two fathers, Gu Yanjing and Lu Lingjun, above him, he was rich and powerful, and could get anything he wanted. He was living a carefree life.
However, just after he finished dealing with company matters and returned to his car after get off work, he suddenly saw a person dart out in front of him. The person was wearing a black trench coat with a large hood, which obscured the face, making it impossible to see who it was.
"Damn it, are you crazy? That's not how you stage an accident. I was driving so fast, if you got hit and killed, no one would even take care of you."
Gu Congxin felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She got out of the car angrily, and when she saw that person, she wanted to kick him a couple of times.
But the man didn't back down or fall to the ground; he didn't seem like someone trying to scam someone.
"Mr. Gu, you've finally come back after all this time." Zhang Zhiqi stood in front of Gu Congxin, lifted the hood covering his face, and smiled at the dazed Gu Congxin.
When Gu Congxin saw this person, he felt that he looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but for some reason, he just couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"Who are you?" Gu Congxin pressed his hand to his heart. No, there was something he had overlooked. His mind was in turmoil, but he just couldn't remember.
“I am Zhang Zhiqi. Before Mr. Gu left, he specifically instructed me to come to you now. It’s normal that you don’t remember. Every system has its memories erased after it is taken away.”
Zhang Zhiqi smiled and waved his phone: "I have a video that Mr. Gu recorded before he left on my phone. Would Mr. Gu like to see it?"
Gu Congxin stared at the phone in Zhang Zhiqi's hand, knowing that it contained his videos. He was the system, and he could check what was on that phone at any time, but he didn't dare to.
"How did you know I was a system?" Gu Congxin calmed himself down.
Having followed Gu Yanjing through several worlds, he still has some sense. He must know that Zhang Zhiqi's willingness to help him is definitely because he wants to gain some benefit from him. However, besides money, it seems that his relationship with Gu Yanjing is the only thing that's worth making a fuss about.
"Of course, Mr. Gu told me this himself. Mr. Gu was once a prominent figure in this world, but in the end, at a fixed time, he was swept away by the main god, all his memories were deleted, and he was turned into a system. Isn't Mr. Gu angry?"
Seeing that Gu Congxin remained silent, Zhang Zhiqi slowly took out another diary.
The diary was covered with a very delicate little lock, the key of which was held by Zhang Zhiqi and Gu Congxin.
Gu Congxin, who once lived up to his reputation, was a great man who strived to make Tianxin Entertainment a powerful and successful enterprise.
However, ever since he learned of his future fate, he has become self-destructive and started to enjoy life and everything.
We should make the most of these few remaining days and enjoy ourselves to the fullest.
"Mr. Gu, this is the diary you wrote when you were a child. The key is currently hanging on your keychain, the smallest one. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this diary first."
Zhang Zhiqi handed over the diary in his hand.
Gu Congxin remained unmoved, saying, "Before you ask for anything, shouldn't you introduce yourselves?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiqi smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, I am of the same status as you. We are both people chosen by the main god and abandoned by the Heavenly Dao. When the Heavenly Dao and the main god resolved the conflict, they chose this plane. The Heavenly Dao abandoned this plane and gave it to the main god."
Zhang Zhiqi paused, a cold smile appearing on his lips, looking quite disdainful.
"And the main god, the main god uses this plane as a place to cultivate the system. The main god will select the male or female protagonist here from time to time and send them away, and then replace them with people from other planes. However, many more people will have their memories erased, become systems, and be stripped of this plane. Mr. Gu, do you remember? Three years ago, you were also stripped of this plane."
Gu Congxin listened quietly to Zhang Zhiqi's words, and for some reason, suddenly clutched her head.
My head hurts so much. It feels like something that was sealed away is slowly surging out and filling up my head in an instant.
Half an hour later, Gu Congxin got up from the ground covered in sweat, his face pale, but he was much more alert than before when he was in a daze.
No wonder he always wanted to come to this plane when choosing his mission, and no wonder he often felt that he was more than just an electronic system.
It turns out that he was originally a human.
The Supreme God separated his soul from his body, infused it with new memories, and turned it into a system. Ultimately, this system followed many hosts to steal the energy needed by the Supreme God's reserves.
Indeed, to the Heavenly Dao and the planes, the main god is like a parasite, not only surviving by absorbing fortune and energy, but also attempting to interfere with the normal trajectory of the Heavenly Dao.
That's why Gu Yuan was willing to risk his life to kill Shisanqiu.
Although they eventually reached a reconciliation, even at the cost of their own lives, this does not change the fact that Shisanqiu existed.
"You've come to find me." Gu Congxin got up from the ground, still a little unsteady, but his expression was calm and unfathomable, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Hmm, does Mr. Gu still need the diary and videos?" Zhang Zhiqi looked at Gu Congxin with some uncertainty.
When Gu Congxin left three days ago, he told him to bring the video and diary and come find him when he returned, and also to find him when Gu Yanjing was not around.
They can see their own future, and they can also use the memories of these dimensions to get whatever they want.
"Give it to me, thank you for these three." Gu Congxin took the phone and diary from Zhang Zhiqi and thanked him lightly.
"Mr. Gu is right to say that. However, I hope that Mr. Gu will fulfill his promise from three years ago. We people must eventually break free from this predetermined fate." Zhang Zhiqi smiled happily, his aura of a big shot gone, and he looked like a harmless little scumbag.
