Mo Chen slumped to the ground, oblivious to the coldness of the floor, staring blankly into space.
"It's over, it's all over, it's completely over. I was thinking that as Gu Liyan's companion, I would still be qualified to participate in the Godhood Competition, but who would have thought... It's over. Before I even made it onto the Yellow Springs List, I didn't expect... sigh, it's all over—" Mo Chen smiled bitterly, looking as if he was about to cry!
At this moment, Mo Chen was completely unaware that Gu Liyan on the bed had regained her heartbeat and breathing, and slowly opened her eyes...
Gu Liyan frowned slightly, slowly sat up, and looked at Mo Chen sitting on the ground with his back to her. She wondered, "The Godhood Competition? What is that? I've never heard anyone else mention it?"
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen, who looked like he was about to cry, and couldn't help but smile. He said, "Ahem, if you lose your fighting spirit, you might not even have a chance!"
"Ha, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. Do you think Gu Liyan can be resurrected? I'm already..." Before Mo Chen could finish speaking, his pupils contracted. Wasn't that Gu Liyan's voice behind him?!
Mo Chen suddenly sat up and turned to look at Gu Liyan, who was smiling at him.
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen with a smile, "Who did you just say died? I don't see any bodies here."
"I, I..." Mo Chen was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately exclaimed, "Holy crap—it's a zombie!"
Gu Liyan was both amused and exasperated. "I'm not dead at all! What do you mean by 'came back to life'?"
Mo Chen looked at Gu Liyan with astonishment. "Not dead? Impossible! I just checked..."
"That's because I practiced the Soul Splitting Technique that my father gave me; my soul is no longer in my physical body," Gu Liyan said with a shrug.
"What? You, you've really started learning?" Mo Chen looked surprised. "I remember Yan Ligu saying before that it would require strict conditions?"
"He told you?" After saying this, Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Yan Ligu was himself, yet he himself knew nothing about himself...
Mo Chen rolled his eyes and pointed at the houses surrounded by ice crystals, saying, "But you learned the Soul Splitting Technique, so how did the surroundings become like this?"
Gu Liyan then realized that a thick layer of frost had formed around him.
"This... I don't know either!" Gu Liyan smiled awkwardly.
Mo Chen looked at Gu Liyan with suspicion, "You didn't happen to cultivate the Mystic Ice Body to its full potential while learning the Soul Splitting Technique, did you?"
Gu Liyan chuckled, "What? How could that be? The Xuanbing Body is a cultivation of the physical body. My soul is gone, how could I possibly cultivate?"
Although he said that, he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted: "I didn't expect that cultivating the Profound Ice Body in the Sea of Souls would have such great results!"
Looking at Mo Chen's suspicious expression, Gu Liyan thought to herself, "I can't let him know, otherwise he'll definitely keep asking me about the cultivation method of this Soul Splitting Technique. I can't let him risk learning it!"
Gu Liyan made up her mind to keep the truth from Mo Chen.
"Well, it's getting quite cold in here. Let's go outside and talk," Gu Liyan suggested.
Mo Chen suddenly remembered Gu Linlin's matter and hurriedly said, "Oh! By the way, I need to tell you that Gu Linlin is here. Also, there's something even more troublesome!"
Gu Liyan frowned. "Gu Linlin is a real problem for me right now. How am I supposed to tell her about Yiyi's problem... It's such a hassle..."
Gu Liyan shook his head and walked out the door first, without asking about the other troublesome matter. Mo Chen saw that he frowned when he heard the name Gu Linlin, so he didn't continue.
Even so, Mo Chen was still somewhat worried about Gu Liyan's health. "Have your injuries fully recovered? Including the damage to your soul?"
"Yes, and his cultivation has improved significantly." Gu Liyan nodded and said.
Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I was really scared just now. I thought something had really happened to you."
"Once Yiyi's matter is resolved, you'd better explain the Godhood Competition to me properly," Gu Liyan said, glancing at Mo Chen.
Mo Chen choked, looking embarrassed. "You...you heard everything?"
"Nonsense! Someone's almost crying, how could I not hear it?" Gu Liyan couldn't help but chuckle mischievously.
"Hmph." Mo Chen rolled his eyes and glared at Gu Liyan. "You better not tell anyone! Otherwise, I'll expose all your private life!"
Gu Liyan shrugged, looking indifferent. "Anyway, nobody likes to pry into my privacy, so say whatever you want!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Mo Chen narrowed his eyes, a cunning expression on his face, and turned to look at a beautiful figure not far away. He chuckled and said, "That's hard to say!"
As Mo Chen looked over, Gu Liyan's face immediately darkened, and he whispered to Mo Chen, "You'd better not mention too much about me to Gu Linlin."
"What's wrong with mentioning her? She doesn't like you anyway!" Mo Chen chuckled.
Gu Liyan still remembered the first time Gu Linlin looked at him, and the things Gu Linlin had deliberately done to him before. He became somewhat displeased. "I've been deliberately keeping my distance from her. Gu Linlin is not simple-minded."
Mo Chen glanced at Gu Liyan and said, "Don't worry, you know people can change. Life is getting better and better, so maybe people will become better too!"
Gu Liyan's brows relaxed, and she subconsciously agreed with Mo Chen's words.
"Gu Liyan!" Gu Linlin saw the two figures coming out of the room and walked up to them with a smile. "Gu Liyan, are you alright? We were all worried about you because of the cold air coming from your room."
