Gong Yu's breath caught in his throat when he was asked the question.
I didn't know how to answer for a moment.
But he still seized on the word "abnormal" and eagerly asked, "What's abnormal? What did she do?"
“Jiang Jiang was sitting outside in the rain, and she seemed really off…” Lu Shiyan replied, then paused and asked, “So what exactly did you say to her?”
Given Jiang Li's personality, if she were just walking outside without an umbrella, she would definitely use a talisman to keep herself dry, even in a downpour.
But just now...
By touching Jiang Li's cold body, Lu Shiyan knew without even thinking...
She stood in the rain for a very long time...
Everything was fine this morning, and everything was fine when I parted from Fuying...
But after separating from Gong Yu, she went out to get soaked in the rain...
This must be because Gong Yu said something that upset her, which led her to do such a thing.
Getting caught in the rain outside?
Gong Yu's expression instantly turned serious.
He could be said to have watched Jiang Li grow up, and he knew her temperament and personality very well.
Given her personality, she would never do something so self-destructive.
If she did this because of her own conversation with herself...
That can only mean one thing...
The existence of the time domain is of paramount importance to Jiang Li.
then……
Gong Yu tentatively asked, "Um... do you know about time domains?"
Lu Shiyan's eyes flickered slightly, but he said calmly, "What? What does this have to do with Shiyu?"
"You also know about the existence of the Time Realm?" Gong Yu's voice rose a few decibels. "Then do you know where the Time Realm is?"
"What?" Lu Shiyan's expression changed again. He asked, "Why are you so eager to find Shi Yu?"
"I'm telling you, you have to promise not to tell Jiang Li," Gong Yu said seriously.
If he could find the Time Domain, he wouldn't mind telling Lu Shiyan about it.
Lu Shiyan hummed in agreement. "Go on."
"Time Domain is the creator of Hell, and now the situation in Hell is becoming increasingly unstable, with the possibility of its energy disappearing at any moment..." Gong Yu's tone was very heavy. "If it disappears, the consequences will be unbearable for us. However, if we can find Time Domain and let him resolve the situation in Hell himself, this matter can be resolved without any casualties..."
“I understand…” Lu Shiyan immediately knew why Jiang Li was acting strangely. His voice also lowered a bit as he said, “I’ll keep an eye on this. I’ll hang up now.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Shiyan sat to the side, lost in thought.
Recalling Gong Yu's words and imagining Jiang Li's unusual behavior, Lu Shiyan knew how strong this blow must be to his wife.
If Shiyu were a completely independent being, Jiang Jiang would be overjoyed to hear this news.
But the current situation is...
If we want the Time Domain to accomplish all of this, the price is...
He should die.
Shiyu is currently just a wisp of a soul. Although his energy is not weak, it is still far from enough for him to control an entire hell.
But what if he completely devoured his soul and took over his body...?
To become an independent person...
Then things will be different.
Lu Shiyan looked at his hands, then thought of the Time Domain within his body, and said in a calm tone, "You actually know everything I'm facing now, don't you?"
Lu Shiyan didn't expect Shi Yu to answer him. He continued, "Tell me, what would be the consequences if the barrier of hell disappeared?"
Then Lu Shiyan heard the answer from the Time Domain in his mind: "The number of vengeful ghosts in Hell is countless. If the energy of Hell disappears, then all the vengeful ghosts will escape, and the consequence will be... the underworld will be devastated, and the human world will become a purgatory..."
After a pause, Shi Yu continued, "If this goes on for a long time, all life will be assimilated by the vengeful ghosts, thus forming a ghost realm where the winner takes all and the loser is condemned."
Humans cannot continue to exist.
When all the people turn into vengeful ghosts, wouldn't this place become a complete ghost realm?
A ghost realm without rules, or rather, a realm where the strong are respected.
The constant fighting and killings are almost unbearable to watch.
"So, you can easily solve this problem, right?" Lu Shiyan asked in a low voice.
“Hell was created by me. With my original abilities, resolving this situation would have been a piece of cake, just a matter of snapping my fingers. But now… I can’t.” Shi Yu replied, but he didn’t say anything more, because even if he didn’t say it, Lu Shiyan would understand why he couldn’t do it now.
"Besides this, is there any other way?" Lu Shiyan thought for a moment and then asked.
“There is a way that only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause…” Shi Yu’s voice rang out again, “However, it requires sacrificing lives, and many lives at that. They have to use their own energy to strengthen the barrier’s energy. Even after it’s filled, it will only last for a period of time. As time goes by, the problem will still reappear… But now, the most important question is… Do you have that many powerful people to fill it?”
Lu Shiyan remained silent.
Even if there are so many powerful people, he couldn't just stand by and watch the other person die, just to prolong their life for a while.
This matter originally had nothing to do with him, but now...
He wanted to distance himself, but it was too late.
Not just him, everyone knows...
There is only one optimal option in this situation, and that is...
Use him to exchange for the peace of the whole world.
Thinking this, Lu Shiyan asked again, "How long until the barrier disappears?"
How much more time can he buy himself to spend with Jiang Jiang?
If he disappears, the Time Domain will still occupy his shell and exist as his identity.
To outsiders, Lu Shiyan has always existed.
As long as the time domain helps to play its role properly when necessary, then...
His disappearance will have no impact.
The only thing that will make me sad is...
Lu Shiyan closed his eyes, trying hard to control himself and stop thinking about those things.
Because once he thinks about it, he'll feel reluctant and unwilling to let go.
But now...
How could his reluctance or unwillingness to part with the object of his desire possibly solve the problem?
"With my abilities, if I go back and reinforce it, it can last for another two months," Shi Yu replied, then his tone became a little more flippant, "What? Have you made up your mind?"
"Forced by reality, what else can I do but accept it?" Lu Shiyan sneered, his tone full of helplessness. Finally, he said, "However, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with..."
Shi Yu seemed surprised by Lu Shiyan's words, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
“I know this request isn’t easy for you, but it’s the only condition that would make me give up.”
Tell me about it.
"I hope that after I leave, you can play the role of me well in public..." Lu Shiyan said slowly, "The Lu Group cannot do without me. You used my body, so you must be responsible for the group. As for my family, since I am too busy, you only need to go back during holidays. You know my personality and habits, so just play the role of me a little and they won't suspect anything..."
“Then…” Shi Yu suddenly smiled, and when Lu Shiyan hesitated, he slowly said, “What about in front of your wife?”
