Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan felt a wave of fear. "Luckily, I didn't accept his gift and didn't take that potion."
"I must say you're quite lucky. Regardless of his potion of forgetfulness, my potion is different from external enhancements that can temporarily awaken one's true nature. It's very potent and can probably restore a person to their peak strength from their previous life," Xuan Tiandao said with a smug smile.
"Really?" Gu Liyan asked in surprise.
“Uh…theoretically speaking, that’s how it is!” Xuan Tiandao said hesitantly, “Because the number of test subjects is limited, there are almost no test subjects that can be trusted enough, and so far this drug is only in the trial stage, and there are no perfect experimental results yet.”
"Then what are you going to do with it? Make us guinea pigs?!" Lin Momo couldn't help but complain.
“Yes, Gu Yan asked me to give you the truth, and also asked me to ask you if you dare to take the risk and try it?” Xuan Tiandao looked at Gu Liyan and suddenly smiled.
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback, looking at the purple potion with some hesitation in his eyes.
Seeing Gu Liyan's hesitant expression, Xuan Tiandao said, "Gu Liyan, I know what you're thinking right now. You just want a peaceful life. I won't force you to use Original Sin. Before I came, Gu Yan didn't force you to make a choice either. However..."
Xuan Tiandao spoke with a solemn expression, "However, I think you should understand that if you die in this life without the ability to protect yourself, your soul will only be devoured and replaced by Yan Ligu in the Yellow Springs. At that time, he will have no nemesis, and no one in this world will be able to stop him!"
Gu Liyan opened his mouth as if to say something, but Xuan Tiandao continued, "At that time, he will definitely sever the cycle of reincarnation, and all souls will gather in the Nine Springs Realm. At that time, they will all be at his mercy! Not only you and me, but also the woman you love will become his!"
Gu Liyan trembled. He finally realized the seriousness of the situation. Clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, he picked up the reagents from the safe and said, "Then what are we waiting for? I..."
"No!" As soon as Gu Liyan finished speaking, Hua Baixian suddenly burst through the door.
"Xiao Bai!" Gu Liyan looked at Hua Baixian in surprise as she entered. It turned out that she had heard everything he said while hiding outside the door.
Hua Baixian snatched the potion from Gu Liyan's hand, took out the remaining potions, and hugged them tightly to her chest, saying, "No! Xiao Li, you can't agree to use it! Have you forgotten? We've already gone through so many hardships. We finally have a chance to settle down and live an ordinary life in this lifetime. Why should we risk going to the Nine Springs Realm? This time, I will never agree!"
Hua Baixian looked at Xuan Tiandao and said, "This time, we just want a peaceful life, and no one can stop us!"
"Xiao Bai..." Upon hearing Hua Baixian's words, Gu Liyan was at a loss for words.
That's right. He's tired of war, dislikes the coldness of human relationships and the fickleness of the world. Now he just wants to retire with Hua Baixian and live an ordinary life, free from worldly strife!
Upon seeing this, Xuan Tiandao's expression immediately changed, and he coldly snorted, "Hmph, they say that a gentle embrace is a hero's grave! You're not helping Gu Liyan, you're harming him! Let me ask you, if everyone in this world only enjoys life, then when war comes, who will stand up to resist? Who will protect their home and country?"
Hua Baixian shook her head, completely ignoring Xuan Tiandao's words, and instead looked at Gu Liyan, choking back tears, and said, "Little Li, promise me you won't get involved in this, okay?"
Gu Liyan frowned deeply. To be honest, he had been thinking about injecting the medicine to help Xuan Tiandao. He also understood the threat Yan Ligu posed to him. If Yan Ligu was another part of his soul, then Yan Ligu would surely like what he liked. Didn't that mean Yan Ligu also liked Hua Baixian?
After all, a soul that has developed independent consciousness can no longer be called itself.
Yan Ligu is Yan Ligu, and Gu Liyan is Gu Liyan. Yan Ligu cannot tolerate Gu Liyan's existence now, and so can Gu Liyan!
But……
Faced with Hua Baixian, Gu Liyan was completely at a loss for what to choose. He wanted to spend his entire life with her until old age, and he longed for a life of peace and quiet, just the two of them, even if the world ended, even if there was no more reincarnation, even if…
Gu Liyan took a deep breath, having made his decision. He stepped forward and faced Hua Baixian, saying, "Xiao Bai, Yan Ligu wants everything. If I don't stand up and stop him now, everything will develop into the world he desires..."
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Hua Baixian couldn't stop her tears from flowing. "No, no, Yan Ligu wouldn't hurt us! He sacrificed himself to protect us! He wouldn't hurt us!"
"Hmph, he won't harm you, but do you think he'll tolerate his original body existing in this world? He'll definitely want to get rid of Gu Liyan as soon as possible!" Xuan Tiandao coldly rebuked, "Hua Baixian, Gu Liyan sacrificed so much for you, can you bear to watch him be devoured by his own split soul and become someone else?"
Lin Momo nodded righteously, "Yes, and besides, you wouldn't accept Yan Ligu's current actions, would you? It's not an exaggeration to call him a great demon now!"
Hua Baixian looked at Lin Momo and Xuan Tiandao, and finally turned her gaze to Gu Liyan. She hesitated, she wavered...
But what about Gu Liyan? He looked at her with a smile, his eyes filled with tenderness for her alone. He didn't say anything accusatory, but instead came to Hua Baixian and said to her with a smile, "Xiao Bai, you misunderstood. Actually, what I wanted to say is that no matter what the outcome of Yan Ligu is, it doesn't matter to me!"
