Then, Tianyu brought Gu Liyan and the other person down steadily into the abyss.
Not far away, the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor lay on the ground, struggling to get up. Seeing Tianyu and the others, he didn't care about anything else and roared angrily, "What exactly do you want?"
Tianyu smiled but before he could speak, Gu Yan and the others behind the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor noticed that they had arrived.
“Nine Netherworld Emperor! And Mo Bai, Xiao Li…wait, why is there another Xiao Li? Why does she look a little different? Am I seeing things?” Gu Li asked, looking at Gu Liyan and her group with a puzzled expression.
Hearing Gu Li's question, Gu Liyan subconsciously looked at Tianyu with a puzzled expression.
“I’ve never let anyone else see my face; they’ll just imagine what I look like,” Tianyu said with a smile.
Gu Liyan was still puzzled: What does "imagining" mean?
Hua Qingwu looked at Tianyu beside Gu Liyan in surprise, and stammered, "Clan...Clan Chief!"
Gu Yan was stunned, looking at Tian Yu with a surprised expression, "He's the patriarch of the Heavenly Clan?!"
Hua Qingwu nodded, "Mmm! How was it? Was he fierce?" Having imagined a menacing figure, Hua Qingwu looked terrified.
Gu Yan had just been wondering if her and Hua Qingwu's child might be Gu Liyan, born a little fox? So, the Tianyu before her was a little fox who looked about five years old. "Not fierce at all, quite cute!"
puff……
Even Tianyu himself was amused, and Jiuyou Tiandi was speechless, not to mention the bewildered Gu Liyan and Mo Bai.
"What kind of looks are you all giving me? He looks exactly like Xiao Li! Except his hair is a bit whiter, and his eyes... uh?" Gu Li stared at Tian Yu, his eyes widening suddenly. He thought to himself, "What's going on? How can this person look exactly like Xiao Li and Mo Bai?!"
Upon hearing what Gu Li said, Tian Yu frowned. Before he could speak, the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor arrived in front of Gu Li with lightning speed.
Gu Li was thinking about what the Heavenly Realm looked like when he was caught off guard and captured by the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor, much to everyone's surprise.
"Stop! Release my martial uncle!" Gu Liyan said urgently.
"Don't do anything reckless!" Gu Yan shouted anxiously.
The Nine Netherworld Emperor sneered, "This guy's life is in my hands. If you don't want anything to happen to him, let me go immediately!"
Gu Liyan looked at Tianyu with a questioning gaze.
Tianyu smiled and said to Gu Liyan, "Don't look at me, it's time for you to make your own choice!"
Gu Liyan was stunned. "Me? Choose?"
Tianyu nodded, looking at Gu Yan and the others before him, and said, "There is life and there is death, and in the end, someone must sacrifice themselves. Several lifetimes ago, you also made a choice: your best friend Mo Chen, your father Gu Yan, your mother Hua Qingwu, and your martial uncle Gu Li..."
"Why are you wasting so much breath talking to him? I've always escaped! What's the point of choosing him?" The Nine Netherworld Emperor laughed loudly. "Accept your fate! Heavenly Domain! Gu Liyan! Neither of you can subdue me!"
Tianyu looked at Gu Liyan and whispered, "Choose, who should be sacrificed this time?"
Gu Liyan looked at Tianyu, frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Is it really necessary to sacrifice someone?"
Tianyu nodded. "To seal him, we need a human sacrifice."
"Can anyone be chosen?" Gu Liyan asked seriously.
Tianyu stared blankly at Gu Liyan, his gaze resolute, and then nodded seriously.
Gu Liyan looked at Gu Yan, who was frowning, at Hua Qingwu, who looked anxious, and at Mo Chen, who was silent, and let out a long sigh. "Alright, I already have the answer!"
Tianyu pursed his lips and said, "I know your answer."
Gu Liyan smiled. "Will you blame me?"
Tianyu smiled and said, "I've never had this choice before, and I couldn't predict the outcome, so... I don't blame you."
"Can this be considered as helping you and him settle your grudges?" Gu Liyan said with a smile, looking at the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor.
The Nine Netherworld Emperor frowned upon seeing Gu Liyan's gaze and said, "What are you looking at? You can't even protect yourself. Let me tell you, don't overestimate yourself..."
Gu Liyan smiled faintly, "I do not have the power to protect the one I love, or even to save the world, but I understand that if one person's sacrifice can bring about the best outcome, then it is all worthwhile!"
"What did you say?" The Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor looked at Gu Liyan with a puzzled expression.
Gu Liyan turned around and looked at Tianyu, saying, "I'm ready."
Tianyu nodded, raised his hand, and plunged it fiercely into Gu Liyan's heart. Blood gushed out instantly, and everyone stared at Gu Liyan in astonishment.
"Xiao Li!" Gu Yan was the first to react, rushing over with red eyes.
Mo Chen and Hua Qingwu, who were standing to the side, did the same, rushing towards Gu Liyan one after another, while Gu Li was completely forgotten.
However, in the instant that even the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor was shocked, Gu Li, enraged, pointed at the Heavenly Domain and cursed, "Fuck your grandpa!"
Gu Li pushed away the Nine Netherworld Emperor and said, "You wait until I teach that guy a lesson and come back!"
The Nine Netherworld Emperor stared blankly as everyone gathered around Gu Liyan.
Gu Yan held Gu Liyan in his arms, his eyes welling up with tears. "Little Li! Are you alright? Are you okay? Father will heal your wounds, you wait..."
Gu Liyan twitched the corner of his mouth, blood mercilessly trickling down his lip. "This was my own choice, Father. Don't waste your efforts..."
As Gu Yan watched Gu Liyan's life gradually fade away, tears streamed down her face, and she choked up, unable to speak.
Mo Chen's eyes were red-rimmed, and he looked at Gu Liyan with a face full of remorse. "Why? Why did you do this... I told you I would protect you, why..."
