"Rui...Xin...what are you doing!" Gu Liyan suddenly exerted force and pushed Lin Ruixin away.
Lin Ruixin smiled as she looked at the panting Gu Liyan, her excitement barely concealed. "Gu Liyan! I finally understand why I felt a sense of déjà vu when I first saw you! Now, I remember everything! Our relationship! And our identities!"
Gu Liyan looked at Lin Ruixin with a puzzled expression.
Immediately, Lin Ruixin's lips curled up, and she said:
"Do you know why you can't form a demon core? Because you are my physical body! How can you form a demon core if your soul is incomplete?!"
Gu Liyan's eyes widened. "You, what did you say?"
"Gu Liyan, you are the physical body of my White Emperor, the seed I have been planning for millions of years!"
"Wh-what?" Gu Liyan stared in astonishment at Lin Ruixin's smiling face.
How is this possible?!
He was born in Thousand Absolute Mountain and his true form is just a white fox. How could he possibly be the White Emperor's physical body...?
"How is that impossible!" Lin Ruixin suddenly spoke up. "Don't you think about it? Gu Yan and Gu Li, who among them has ever told you anything about your biological parents?"
Gu Liyan shuddered. Yes, when he was a child, Gu Li only told him that he was a white fox that Gu Yan had picked up...
Suddenly, Gu Liyan remembered what Gu Yan had said when he lost control and tried to kill him: he had said he was the White Emperor—
So, I really am...
"That's right! Gu Liyan, you are my physical body! I couldn't return from the Ancient Wilderness Battlefield, so I could only use the key to send my body back and combine it with a dying remnant soul to create you as you are today! From beginning to end, you are nothing more than the most ordinary remnant soul in the Ancient Wilderness World!"
"And I, the White Emperor, am a soul that has merged with the power of all the souls who died in battle in the ancient wilderness! Today, I have come here to reclaim my physical body!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan's body suddenly went limp and he collapsed to the ground, weakly raising his head to look at Lin Ruixin. "No, it's impossible... Ruixin, you... why..."
Lin Ruixin licked her lips and smiled slightly, her eyes turning cold. "Big brother, I'm so sorry, your soul has been cursed and you simply don't have the ability to support this body anymore. Since you no longer have the ability to nourish my body, you might as well leave it to me to do it myself—"
Upon hearing Lin Ruixin's words, Gu Liyan felt an unusual chill run through his body, and then collapsed weakly...
Seeing this, Lin Ruixin smiled and walked towards Gu Liyan, saying, "Gu Liyan, from now on, let me take your place!"
Gu Liyan looked up at Lin Ruixin, trying to get up, but he couldn't move even a finger...
No!
He cannot die
Gu Yixian
And their children...
Seemingly sensing Gu Liyan's last lingering attachment, Lin Ruixin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt Gu Yixian!"
Upon hearing Lin Ruixin's words, Gu Liyan seemed to be hypnotized, his eyes darkening...
Lin Ruixin smiled gently at Gu Liyan, closed her eyes, and transformed into a stream of light that entered Gu Liyan's brow.
Then, Gu Liyan slowly stood up, opened his eyes, and those eyes, which should have been purple, flashed with a sinister green light—
"Next... it's time to visit some old friends!"
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky...
——
As Gu Yan sat cross-legged in meditation, he suddenly heard a clap of thunder outside the window. He opened his eyes abruptly and saw that all the energies of the world were intertwined and inseparable, showing a tendency to turn into darkness.
Before he could make a move, he heard footsteps and turned around to see a figure in the doorway. Gu Yan coldly asked, "Who is it?"
Outside the door, the masked man, who was about to knock, was startled by Gu Yan's words and stood respectfully outside, saying, "Reporting to Master, I am Ye..."
Gu Yan narrowed his eyes and interrupted him directly, coldly snorting, "Hmph, how many times have I told you, I will not accept you as my disciple unless you kill my disciple!"
Ye immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak. Seeing that he was obedient and sensible, Gu Yan snorted coldly again and scolded, "If you have something to say, come in! If not, get out of here!"
Hearing Gu Yan's words, Ye dared to step through the door.
Knowing Gu Yan's increasingly impatient nature, he didn't mince words and went straight to the point, "Reporting to the Grand Strategist, Lei Li went to find Gu Liyan earlier and met a girl named Lin Ruixin. By tracing the trajectory of her soul, I discovered that she is actually..."
Before Ye could finish speaking, Gu Yan interrupted her, "No need to say anything, I already know!"
"Then, should we prepare some methods to deal with her..." Ye pursed her lips and asked with a worried look.
Gu Yan squinted, suddenly sensing that the atmosphere around him had become strange. He immediately shook his head, raised his hand, and said coldly, "No need to prepare anything, he's already here!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Ye Wei was slightly taken aback. Before he could react, a white shadow floated down beside him!
Upon recognizing the face of the person beside him, Ye immediately became alert. "Gu Liyan?! You fox demon, you..."
Before Ye could even make a move, Gu Liyan's chilling green eyes swept over him. In that instant, Ye felt as if his soul had been locked in place, and his entire body felt icy cold. The feeling was as terrifying as having the Grim Reaper's scythe pressed against his throat.
Gu Yan suddenly stood up and arrived in front of Ye in the blink of an eye. He gently raised his hand and waved it, and the pressure that had been pressing on Ye's soul vanished instantly!
Seeing Gu Liyan's calm and composed demeanor, Gu Yan was immediately enraged and coldly said, "You come here and immediately try to intimidate me? You really don't know how to hold your temper! Gu Liyan!"
