Gu Liyan stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, straightened her white clothes, turned to look at Wuxin, and said with some grievance, "Big brother, I was so scared that I cried just now, and you still told me that I can dance with death. Is that really okay?"
"I'm telling the truth. It's a rare and wonderful thing to be able to understand the true meaning of death!" Wuxin smiled, then looked at Gu Liyan with utmost seriousness and said, "Gu Liyan, congratulations, you can now go and sign the contract of life and death!"
"Huh?!" Gu Liyan looked at Wuxin with a surprised expression.
He did nothing, yet he was able to sign that life-and-death contract that had been delayed for so long? Isn't that too easy?
Without further explanation, Wu Xin waved his hand, and two glasses of water appeared in front of Gu Liyan.
"The Great Dao is formless, and life and death are predestined! One cannot have both fish and bear's paw in this world! But Gu Liyan, you can choose between the spring of life and the bath of death!" Wuxin said solemnly.
Gu Liyan looked at the clear spring of life, and then at the black, viscous liquid of death.
"If you choose life, you will save lives and restore humanity; if you choose death, you will control death and send people to the afterlife!" Wuxin squinted at Gu Liyan and said, "Please make your choice!"
Gu Liyan stared blankly at the two cups in front of her, feeling inexplicably torn between them.
Choosing to live allows him to resurrect the dead.
By choosing death, he can punish those whose sins are unforgivable.

"You can't have your cake and eat it too? I don't believe it! A life-and-death pact must be one of mutual survival to be considered a true life-and-death pact, right? Then I want to live now! And die now!"
Gu Liyan looked at Wuxin with a serious expression and spoke:
"In the face of life and death, everyone is equal, there is no distinction of high or low, noble or base, or class. I want to sign a true life-and-death contract to maintain the balance between life and death!"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Wuxin burst into laughter. With a wave of his hand, the wine in front of him transformed into a glass, the black and white glass filled with a clear purple liquid.
"Gu Liyan, congratulations—you made the right choice! Drink it, and from now on you will control your own life and death! You will step outside the cycle of reincarnation!"
