Although Gu Liyan couldn't see, he could still determine Yang Qi's exact location. He clasped his hands in a fist salute towards that direction and said, "This gentleman must have been selected. I wonder if he has achieved the second-highest rank?"
Yang Qi was taken aback by Gu Liyan's question and stammered, "Well, there's no ranking for this selection, so how do we determine who the runner-up is?"
"Oh? Then who is the first name?" Gu Liyan asked with a smile.
Xiao Lü's eyes lit up, and she understood what Gu Liyan meant. She immediately said, "The first place goes to Physician Li Jin from the Weilong Kingdom's family of physicians."
Gu Liyan smiled and nodded, "I suppose Dr. Li Jin is researching medical skills, while this fellow is all about money and is not Dr. Li."
"you--"
Before Yang Qi could speak, Gu Liyan asked again:
"Little Green Girl, who are the second and third people?"
“They are brothers from the Mo family, Mo Han and Mo Chen. I don’t know their specific backgrounds,” Xiao Lü said truthfully.
Upon hearing the names of Mo Han and Mo Chen, Li Hao excitedly exclaimed, "That's great, Brother Gu! Your senior brothers have been successfully selected!"
Gu Liyan smiled and nodded, "It was just a simple competition, so it's normal for them to be selected."
Gu Liyan's words sent a chill down everyone's spine, and some even slammed their fists on the table in protest:
"What do you mean by a simple competition? If it's simple, why aren't you on the list!"
"Hmph, you can't tell the grapes from the grapes if you can't have them. You don't have the ability to get an invitation, yet you still have the nerve to make sarcastic remarks. The world is going to the dogs!"
Seeing everyone unanimously facing "outside," Yang Qi couldn't help but sneer, "This brother is disabled in all four limbs and is blind. Don't force him, everyone. After all, a blind man can't fight on the battlefield!"
Gu Liyan didn't refute or react to Yang Qi's words. Li Hao, however, was the first to lose his temper, standing in front of Gu Liyan and pointing at Yang Qi, shouting:
"Even though my brother Gu can't see, he can still fight on the battlefield!"
"Hahaha, how can a blind man go into battle and kill the enemy?"
"That's hilarious! I believe a blind man going to the battlefield, but don't forget he's also a cripple!"
Yang Qi and the others mocked and ridiculed him, and burst into laughter.
"You...you..." Li Hao trembled with anger.
Gu Liyan sighed, "Are you finished?"
Yang Qi sneered, about to utter a sarcastic remark, when Gu Liyan snapped, "Then shut up!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone, including Xiao Lü, felt a chill run down their spines, their laughter stopped abruptly, and they all stood frozen in place.
Gu Liyan said loudly, "The world laughs at me, and I laugh at the world. Some have eyes, some don't; some have hearts, some don't."
Gu Liyan slowly stood up, raised his hand, and carefully removed the gauze from his eyes. Everyone watched his movements in surprise as he slowly opened his eyes...
Boom—
Suddenly everything went gloomy, and thunder rumbled outside the window as if the end of the world was coming. The sky was truly astonishing.
At this moment, Mo Han and Mo Chen stood under the city gate, looking up at the sky, half dark and half light, as if the world had been cut in two.
Boom
The thunder rumbled, and Mo Han was slightly startled, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh no, Gu Liyan!"
...
For some reason, Li Hao felt as if he were in an ice cellar, frozen in place, unable to move an inch. Looking around at the others, they were all in the same state.
The only difference is that Gu Liyan, who used to sit in a wheelchair, is no longer disabled or blind. His legs are firmly planted on this land, and his eyes can see through to the ends of the world, as bright as the sun in the sky!
“A sage will emerge, the world will be unified, you are not in the game, yet the game is decided because of you…” Gu Liyan murmured to himself.
At this moment, the life and death energy within Gu Liyan's body was continuously nourishing him. If one could see the wound on his chest, one would find that the wound, which was originally deep enough to expose the bone, had healed completely. The toxins in his body were also absorbed by the death energy and transformed into life energy to nourish his physique.
The rumbling sound in the sky grew louder and louder, as if it were getting closer and closer.
Gu Liyan laughed heartily, "If Heaven and Earth cannot tolerate you, then let you shatter this heaven!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyan's figure flashed and stood in mid-air, looking up at the sky that seemed to be divided into two worlds.
With the Chaos Domain in hand, Gu Liyan was about to unleash it when a purple light suddenly shot towards him. Gu Liyan reacted quickly, countering with a palm strike. The purple light retreated dozens of steps, revealing its form.
"Gu Liyan!" Mo Han was furious after being pushed back by Gu Liyan, and immediately shouted, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback when he saw the man's appearance. "Senior brother..."
A gentle breeze caressed his face as Mo Chen rode the wind to see the two of them facing off, but dared not step forward.
"Why did you stop me, Senior Brother?" Gu Liyan asked coldly.
“This small world cannot withstand your tribulation, you must give up this advancement!” Mo Han said with a frown.
Gu Liyan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Senior brother, are you afraid that I won't be able to control the Life and Death Contract? Or are you afraid that my successful advancement will affect your status?"
Mo Han's eyelids twitched. Looking into Gu Liyan's crimson eyes, he shouted, "Gu Liyan! You've gone mad with qi!"
Gu Liyan scoffed, "Become a demon? So what if I become a demon instead of a Buddha?"
"Are you crazy?!" Mo Han exclaimed angrily, "Have you forgotten how the Demon Clan bullied my Thousand Absolute Mountain?!"
"Isn't this the plan you and your father devised to rebuild after the fall of the dynasty?" Gu Liyan asked coldly.
"You..." Mo Han was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Gu Liyan looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky, a faint purple glint in his eyes. "So be it. Whether I advance or not, I can't refine a demon core, I can't take that step, and it's meaningless!"
