Mo Chen sighed helplessly upon hearing Gu Liyan's words.
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Qingge felt inexplicably uneasy. She stepped forward, took Gu Liyan's hand, and looked at him reluctantly, "Xiao Li, you..."
What he just said, could it be that he wants to return to that so-called "Nine Springs" place? Doesn't that mean the two of them will be separated?
Gu Liyan pulled Qingge close and comforted her, "It's alright, Qingqing, we... we'll be fine."
Although I said that, I couldn't help but worry in my heart.
The enormous phantom in the sky was obscured, but one could surprisingly sense that its gaze was fixed on the location of Gu Liyan and the other two.
This gave Gu Liyan a chill, and he instinctively shielded Qingge behind him, also blocking her aura.
Mo Chen also stepped forward and stood beside Gu Liyan, both of them with worried expressions on their faces. Qing Ge noticed Gu Liyan's concern for her, but said nothing and obediently stood behind him.
Just then, the phantom in the sky spoke to Gu Liyan and Mo Chen, "You two have already brought blessings to this world. This world will not allow you to stay any longer. Why don't you return to the netherworld?"
Hearing this thunderous rebuke, Gu Liyan trembled violently. Before she could react, her legs buckled and she collapsed to her knees. Mo Chen beside her also knelt heavily on the ground, unable to move.
Qingge, standing to the side, stared in astonishment at Gu Liyan and Mo Chen, and hurriedly stepped forward, asking, "Xiao Li? What's wrong?"
Gu Liyan's face darkened, and he turned to Qingge with a cold expression, shouting, "Don't come any closer!"
Qingge turned pale with fright and stood there looking at Gu Liyan with a wronged expression, "Little Li..."
The phantom in the sky raised its hand and pointed, and a golden light fell on Qingge. Qingge shuddered and felt a slight chill.
"So it is because of this woman that you have lingered in this world, unable to sever this bond?" The figure in the void squinted and looked coldly at Gu Liyan.
"It wasn't her, it has nothing to do with her!" Gu Liyan said urgently.
"Hmph! Do you really think I'm a fool!"
The phantom shouted loudly, and Gu Liyan immediately felt an immense force pressing down on him, causing him to collapse to the ground, unable to move.
"Xiao Li!" Qingge came to Gu Liyan and tried to help him up, but found that it was as if an invisible hand was pressing down on Gu Liyan, making it impossible for him to move at all!
"Qingqing...don't worry about me..." Gu Liyan said with difficulty, his face flushed.
Seeing Gu Liyan like this, Qingge's eyes reddened slightly, "Little Li..."
"Hmph, overestimating yourself! You and this woman are destined to be apart, why are you still so persistent?" the illusory figure said coldly.
Gu Liyan gritted her teeth and said, "You, you don't understand at all—what is love!"
"Love? Ha, you're the one who doesn't understand!" the phantom sneered. "Since you say you stayed because of love, then today I'll give you a choice..."
Gu Liyan was taken aback, and looked up at him in confusion. "What choice?"
"Since you say you love this woman, then are you willing to slaughter everyone in the world for her sake?" The voice in the void chuckled playfully.
Gu Liyan's expression changed. "You, you..."
"Make your choice! Slaughter everyone in this world, or abandon this woman and return to the afterlife!"
Gu Liyan was startled and looked at Qingge, "I..."
Hearing the illusory figure's words, Qingge became furious and embarrassed. "Without small love, there is no great love in this world. Why did you force Xiaoli to make such a choice? Do you think you can manipulate other people's fates just because you're high and mighty?"
"Hahaha, you're right! Only those in high positions can decide a person's fate. As for you and him, you can only let fate dictate your lives!" the illusory figure laughed loudly.
"You demon! You're a demon!" Qingge shouted angrily.
Seeing Gu Liyan's conflicted expression, Qingge felt a pang of sympathy and took his hand, "Little Li..."
Gu Liyan was pale and didn't know what to do.
"Hmph, when it comes to truly choosing between greater love and personal love, you still haven't truly realized what love really is!" The phantom stared at Gu Liyan and sneered, raising its hand to release the gravity on Gu Liyan's body. "Haven't you realized your responsibility yet?"
Gu Liyan lowered his head and slowly stood up. "I..."
Seeing that Gu Liyan was still hesitant, the illusory figure snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I'll tell you directly, if you choose to be with this woman, I will immediately wipe out this world along with you!"
Qingge froze, her lips parted slightly, but she had no reason to refute it. She turned to look at Gu Liyan, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. "Xiao Li, we..."
As Qingge called out to Gu Liyan, Gu Liyan also spoke, "Qingqing..."
Qingge wiped away her tears and said, "It's okay, you should go back. We'll have a chance to meet again."
Hearing Qingge's words, Gu Liyan's eyes reddened. "Qingqing, I..."
If he really leaves, he might never see you, Qingge, again in his lifetime!
Qingge reached out and covered Gu Liyan's mouth, preventing him from saying, "It's okay, I'll wait for you to come back, in this life, the next life, and the life after that... I'll wait for you!"
Tears streamed down Qingge's face. Gu Liyan choked back sobs and didn't speak, but held Qingge in his arms. "Yes, in this life, the next life, and the life after that... you must wait for me!"
Mo Chen felt as if all gravity had vanished from his body. He got up from the ground and sighed helplessly as he looked at the two of them.
"Hmph, so long-winded!" The phantom in the sky waved its hand, and Gu Liyan and Mo Chen instantly disappeared from their original spot.
Seeing Gu Liyan disappear before her eyes, Qingge cried out anxiously, "Xiao Li!"
