The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things. Reincarnation is all governed by cause and effect, and everything is ultimately predetermined.
What Gu Liyan is now grasping is nothing more than life and death, good and evil, yet it is the ultimate cycle of reincarnation. Similarly, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the moon waxes and wanes, and human emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all part of the cycle of reincarnation.
"Now I finally understand why the Nine Springs Realm cares so much about the Seven Sufferings of Life, using them as a means to measure power and status," Gu Liyan thought to herself. "So the Lord of the Nine Springs Realm has seen through the laws of reincarnation..."
The Nine Springs Realm values names containing the character "mo," using names derived from the Seven Sufferings as symbols of identity. This is because the Seven Sufferings are closer to the laws of reincarnation and can make one a true master of the Nine Springs Realm.
Thinking of this, Gu Liyan turned her gaze out the window.
The bustling streets, the crowds, and the speeding vehicles—compared to the deserted alleys of a few days ago, everything has become lively and vibrant again.
Seeing this, Gu Liyan smiled slightly. Looking at everything before her, wasn't it like a cycle of reincarnation?
From heaven to hell, and then from hell back to heaven...
Gu Liyan felt that she had wasted her previous lives. While pursuing Hua Baixian, she had never thought about enjoying life. But thinking about it, it made sense; she simply didn't have time to enjoy life before.
With his eyes closed, Gu Liyan's mind was as calm as still water. "The cycle of reincarnation I have come to understand is now down to its final step..."
"Xiao Li, we've packed our things and we can be discharged now. Your father and your senior brother have already sent people to pick us up."
Just then, the ward door was pushed open. Gu Liyan looked up and saw that it was Hua Baixian, with Lin Momo, Yan Xiyue, Gu Li, Luo Zichen and others behind her.
Gu Liyan smiled slightly and said, "Let's go!"
Gu Yan and Gu Changyuan are going back to the island to research how to return to the Nine Springs Realm. They have now joined forces with the former Punisher of the Nine Springs Realm and are just one step away from going back.
However, at this moment, Gu Liyan, under the identity of Mo Li, refused to travel with them.
"Why won't you come with us?" Gu Yan's expression was rather unpleasant as he spoke into the car.
“Mo Chen gave the Mo Group to me, and Hua Yuxian gave the Hua Group to Xiao Bai. If the two of us leave, their hard work will be in vain,” Gu Liyan said, looking at the rising sun outside the window.
Gu Yan angrily retorted, "Do you even know what's more important?!"
"But you still don't have a way to return to the underworld, do you?" Gu Liyan looked at Gu Yan and said with a serious expression, "At the same time, you can't waste time, so please don't take up everyone's time!"
Seeing Gu Liyan's expression, Gu Yan fell silent for a moment, and the two of them sat in the car without saying a word.
After an unknown period of silence, Gu Yan suddenly spoke with a solemn expression, "Do you know that the way you just looked was exactly like Yan Ligu... I really suspect that one day you will become like him, stubborn, obstinate, and ruthless!"
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and said, "Actually, he is me and I am him, but I have my bottom line. I will not become like him."
Gu Yan took out a cigarette, lit it, and said with a bitter smile, "For me, the most beautiful thing in this world is this cigarette."
Gu Liyan looked up at Gu Yan without saying anything, but then heard him continue, "When your senior brother and I came out of the Nine Springs Realm, we exhausted our divine sense and soul power to seal this world off from the outside world, preventing the gates of the Nine Springs from connecting to this place..."
"And so are those sanctioners who are with us. In order not to reveal any information, they voluntarily accept the cycle of reincarnation created by the Reincarnation Compass, all to deceive the heavens and let you be born safely without being found by Yan Ligu."
Gu Liyan paused slightly, looking at Gu Yan and waiting for him to continue.
"We've staked everything on this life, your life! We've done so much with such a desperate gamble, hoping to return to the underworld and remove Yan Ligu, that traitor, from his position as the Realm Lord!"
Gu Yan took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "You know what? Actually, after they regained their memories and awakened, most of them contacted me and told me they wanted to withdraw from this conflict..."
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback and looked at Gu Yan with surprise.
“I remember an ordinary guy telling me that he didn’t want to go back to fight, even if it meant dying in this world. The reason was simple: his 10-year-old daughter wasn’t even an adult yet, and his 80-year-old mother had no one to care for her in her old age. He didn’t want to, and couldn’t, abandon them! He couldn’t sever this bond, even if it meant being called a sinner, a traitor…”
Gu Liyan's expression changed slightly.
“Since then, many people have come to me, saying almost the same thing, always with a thousand reasons to give up.” Gu Yan stubbed out his cigarette fiercely, raised his head, and coldly looked at Gu Liyan, saying, “Now you’re telling me you’re giving up too! Is your reason still because of Hua Baixian?!”
Gu Liyan shook his head, neither admitting nor denying, but looked at Gu Yan with a serious expression and asked, "Father, do you know how strong Yan Ligu is now?"
Gu Yan frowned, and before he could speak, Gu Liyan continued, "The life-and-death contract is on him, and Rui Xin's soul power is also on him. The fact that he was able to return to the underworld means that he now has the ability to pluck stars with his bare hands! Do you think we can restrain him with our strength?"
Gu Yan was slightly taken aback. He had thought about how strong Yan Ligu was before, but he believed that as long as everyone united, they could definitely resist him. However, after Gu Liyan said that today, he realized that the power they possessed was nothing more than a few tiny stars that could shine, far too insignificant compared to the real sun.
Silence fell over the car again. This time, Gu Liyan spoke first, "Rui Xin has already taught Ye the Law of Reincarnation, telling me that once I truly understand the meaning of reincarnation, I can stop him. If you really want to deal with Yan Ligu, then wait until I truly understand reincarnation."
