Chapter 2094 A Love Across Time 37
Without hesitation, Si Jin immediately stood up and put on a thin ancient-style outer robe.
Tick-tock—tick-tock—
Water kept seeping from the hem of her clothes, dripping onto the ground with a soft sound.
The surrounding temperature remained unchanged, the hot spring in front of me remained unchanged, and the scenery outside the window remained unchanged.
But... even the change in the four walls made Si Jin's heart tighten, and she became paranoid, even the sound of dripping water seemed infinitely amplified in her ears, gradually evolving into a threat.
Cold sweat beaded on her forehead. Si Jin tried to calm her breathing and finally realized that it was an illusion. So, she began to walk cautiously around the hot spring.
He walked barefoot without making a sound, but the sight of another version of himself huddled in a corner not far away still chilled him to the bone.
Si Jin arrived at some unknown time, just like before, maintaining an extremely insecure posture, hugging his knees and leaning against the corner, shrinking himself into a small ball.
Look up, and you can immediately see into his eyes.
Why don't you want me?
His question was direct and without any hesitation, which made Si Jin's breath catch in her throat and her palms sweat.
This was the first time in a long time that he had seen such an environment again, and faced the timid and cowardly version of himself he once was.
His knuckles trembled slightly, and his lips turned white uncontrollably.
Little "Si Jin" stared at him for a while, but when she didn't get a reply, she simply lowered her head and chuckled to herself: "Even if you don't tell me, I know the reason."
Her slender, pale fingertips touched the wall, pointing to the two lines of words Si Jin had sworn an oath of blood to leave behind when he left the Heavenly Prison—
Shedding the old shackles, I finally know who I am.
"You want to start over, you want to break free from the old shackles, so you have to abandon me decisively, right? But what did I do wrong, Master?"
Si Jin asked with a smile, stood up, and approached his true form step by step: "Over the years, your divine power has never recovered to its peak, and you are even suppressed by your own little apprentice. You know these reasons and drawbacks, you know them better than anyone else, but you just don't want to face me."
"But what about me? What did I do wrong? How have I lived since you abandoned me?"
As he spoke, he grabbed Si Jin's hand and forcibly led her to the line of words, raising his hand and pointing to the chains above.
"I've been lonely for too long, and I even feel that this dark environment can bring me a sense of familiarity and security!" He almost shouted these words.
The sound made Si Jin's eardrums ache, but he was always the kind of person who wouldn't listen to reason. He just chuckled and looked up to ask, "So, you disrupted all of time and space, killed the original owner of this body, to get revenge on me?"
Upon hearing this, "Si Jin" smiled, and the grip on Si Jin's hand loosened slightly.
She slowly raised her finger and gently touched the deity's lips, her bright peach blossom eyes sparkling with a shimmering light: "Shh—, not everything can be said. You clearly never doubted me, stop lying to yourself."
"The one who truly killed the original owner was the original protagonist of this world, Yan Guichen."
Seeing the change in Si Jin's expression, "Si Jin" released her hand, leaned against the wall indifferently, raised her well-defined hand, and brazenly grasped a scarlet chain.
The chain rested against his cheek, making his already fair skin appear even paler: "How about it? Does this name sound familiar?"
He said, "Once upon a time, the one who was... oh no, the one who was me? No, that's not right either."
Si Jin pondered for a moment, then said, "The first Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Realm, whom we killed together, seems to be coming back to life."
Yes, the Heavenly Lord's name is Guichen.
