No matter how many hardships I have to endure, what I ultimately want to protect is not a pure land, nor the peace of the world, but you!
Gu Liyan painfully raised his head, a tear falling onto Hua Baixian's forehead—
Immediately, a bright green light shone on the Flower Palace, piercing through the originally dark sky above the Heavenly Palace and instantly fading the darkness by three-tenths!
Immediately afterwards, new life sprang up from the entire land of the Heavenly Palace, covering it and exuding an inexhaustible life force—
"The birth of the Flower Goddess transmits the endless life force to the entire Heavenly Palace, driving away the restless dark aura. The Flower Goddess descends in times of crisis; this is an auspicious sign!" Tianyi's turbid eyes looked at the scene in the Flower Palace, marveling at it.
Turning her head, she looked at Gu Liyan, whose face was pale, and asked with some curiosity, "How did you figure out that little flower fairy was the Flower Goddess?"
"How could someone capable of gradually purifying the evil flower be a mortal?" Gu Liyan raised his hand, the beautiful, cold heart on his fingers now possessing a warm gentleness. "Perhaps... Hua Baixian was originally a god!"
That's right, she is his goddess!
In the Tianji Pavilion, an old man and a young man sat facing each other.
“Although you helped my Celestial Clan find the true Flower Goddess, the Celestial Clan is about to face a great calamity. As one of the Four Domains' Supreme Emperors, I have an obligation to prepare for this calamity and collect divine artifacts to resist foreign enemies! Therefore, I—want to obtain the divine artifacts on your body!” Tian Yi looked at Gu Liyan, brooking no argument.
Gu Liyan looked at Tianyi and calmly asked, "After Jiuchen is given to you... can I leave?"
Tianyi looked at Gu Liyan and shook his head regretfully. "I'm sorry, I can guarantee your life, but as a member of a different race, according to the rules, even if you don't die, you will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison forever!"
Gu Liyan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I understand."
Tianyi sighed. At this moment, he felt annoyed and even a little reluctant. After thinking for a moment, he took out a fine wine that he had stored for a long time. "Kid, have a drink?"
Gu Liyan smiled as he looked at the fine wine Tian Yi handed him, "Thank you!"
A cup of turbid wine, two cups of clear tea—once sorrow settles in, the number of cups of wine and tea has long since faded.
Tian Yi was already completely drunk and unconscious. Gu Liyan's eyes were blurry with drunkenness, but he was still sober. He looked at Tian Yi with a smile and said, "So this is all the Heavenly Clan's Emperor can drink!"
After finishing the last sip of wine, Gu Liyan swayed as he stood up, casually drew a sharp sword from beside him, and went outside the main hall.
Looking at the cold blade, Gu Liyan felt a chill run down his spine. "It's over... This time it's really over..."
Whether it was Thousand Absolute Mountain, Ancient Long Abyss, or even Hua Baixian, whom he wanted to protect and accompany, none of it would ever be related to him again.
Removing his long robe, raising the sword in his hand, and pointing it at his abdomen, Gu Liyan smiled and said, "The debts of gratitude from that world are severed, and the debts of gratitude from this world have been repaid. From now on, all past events are irrelevant to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the longsword plunged down fiercely, and in an instant, the blinding blood stained the unstained white robes crimson—
After an unknown amount of time, Tianyi regained consciousness. Seeing the empty hall and the scattered wine cups, he exclaimed in shock, "That fox demon dared to get me drunk and run away! What a scoundrel!"
After saying that, he slammed his hand on the table and stood up. He reached out and was surprised to find that the Heavenly Sword that had been placed to the side was gone!
"That fox demon is incredibly audacious, daring to steal my divine artifact!" Saying this, she walked outside. "If it falls into my hands again, I will definitely—"
Before he could finish speaking, Tianyi froze on the spot. Blood stained the ground, and the white-robed youth was covered in blood, his life hanging in the balance.
"This, this... how..." Tianyi felt a chill run through his body and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Suddenly, a crimson light flashed out from the side, and the nine-petaled red lotus floated in mid-air, radiating a powerful divine might.
"This is..." Tianyi stared at the object in astonishment. "This is the Nine Dust Divine Artifact that this kid was talking about? But why would he..."
Suddenly, Tianyi realized something and trembled involuntarily. "Could it be that this Nine Dust is a divine artifact that injured him, rather than a divine artifact that protects him within his body?!"
Indeed, the Nine Dust, as a hidden weapon, is not immune to all poisons; rather, once it enters the body, it causes constant burning pain.
Gu Liyan's actions were all for the purpose of helping Hua Baixian become the Flower Goddess. He concealed the truth from Tianyi, then got Tianyi drunk, cut off his own flesh to remove it, and used all his essence and blood to wash away the soul mark left by Gu Changyuan, turning it into an ownerless object, which he then gave to Tianyi to repay the two for their kindness to him.
"Boy, how can I accept such a heavy thing!" Tianyi sighed as he carefully held Jiuchen in his hands, his hands trembling.
—Three parts love, seven parts sin, yet I will never regret it, even unto death!
