Chapter 198: The Showdown and Nanmen Jue's Response.
A sun crashed down, and the main god was instantly obliterated without uttering a sound.
That's the sun!
Even in a different world, the sun is still the sun. It descended from its orbit and, under Nanmen Jue's reckless manipulation, arrived instantly. The entire sky was instantly filled with a rapidly burning fireball, turning the world into a blazing day. Everything on the ground rose up, skyscrapers were cut in half, oceans swirled and rose, and the earth's veins fractured. The entire planet was instantly heated to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius. If Nanmen Jue hadn't already evacuated everyone beforehand, all the living people would have vaporized in that instant.
Even with the protection of the light, Nanmenjue's skin was already burning red, exuding the smell of roasted meat, but she seemed oblivious. Her eyes could no longer see clearly, and the extension of energy transformed into the tentacles of her perception. She threw the sun toward the Supreme God, her face beaming with an excited smile.
"Go to hell!" she laughed.
In the cycle of reincarnation, Mo Gui and Zhou Yiming are arguing.
Zhou Yiming didn't know when Nanmen Jue would return, so he could only have people take turns keeping watch in the hall. He usually didn't show up himself; he would just glance at the person from upstairs when he knew they were coming back, and didn't do anything else.
Today he knew that Nanmen Jue and the others had gone inside, and he also knew that Mo Gui and Ying Yao had been following her. Now that he saw that only Mo Gui and Ying Yao had returned, but Nanmen Jue was nowhere to be seen, he became anxious.
He wanted to ask him properly, but not only was Mo Gui gone, even Ying Yao looked completely lost, which made Zhou Yiming lose his composure.
"What exactly happened? Can't the three of you just put your mouths together and explain yourselves clearly?!" Zhou Yiming rarely acted so rudely.
The three people he was referring to were Mo Gui, Ying Yao, and Mo Heng, who was holding Mo Gui by the waist to keep him from going crazy.
Although Zhou Yiming did not know Mo Heng, he could tell from the fact that he and Mo Gui were so close that they had a very close relationship.
"Brother, let me go! I want to go back!" Mo Gui completely ignored Zhou Yiming.
"Where can you go back to! We're already out!" Mo Heng was elbowed a few times and was in so much pain he felt like he was going to vomit blood.
Seeing that these two people were truly useless, Zhou Yiming helplessly turned to look at Ying Yao.
"What exactly happened... Did 'He' reappear?" Zhou Yiming wasn't entirely stupid. Given the strength of these few people, it was easy to imagine something that could make them look so disheveled.
The chaotic import and export situation attracted many onlookers, even Terra was drawn over. Deng Erhuai, Ji Chengying, Wei Chongru, and Lu Yunxiao entered the cycle of reincarnation and did not appear.
Ying Yao's pale face and lifeless eyes startled Terra and the others; none of them had ever seen Ying Yao so distraught.
Before anyone could ask further questions, another person fell down.
It has a strong smoky smell.
In an instant, everyone fell silent.
Nanmen Jue landed smoothly. Seeing so many people gathered there, she first glanced around, and only after confirming that the reincarnators from the previous world were still there did she say, "..."
She didn't make a sound.
Nanmen Jue paused for a moment, then reached out to touch his throat. The sensation was weakened, and he felt as if he were touching a blurry mass of flesh and blood.
Her skin and throat were completely burned, so she couldn't make a sound.
No wonder everyone looked terrified, as if she were some incomprehensible monster.
Nanmen Jue casually took out a healing tool and applied it to his throat. "What are you all doing gathered around here?"
A hush fell over the room. It wasn't that the people had nothing to say, but rather that they had too much to say and didn't know what to say that would fit the current situation.
Nanmenjue's skin cracked into pieces, and tiny flames surged beneath her cracked skin, like shattered porcelain and flowing lava.
Someone moved. Ying Yao walked over, wanting to reach out, but he didn't dare to touch her. "Why aren't you repairing it? Go back into the pillar of light and deduct my points."
Nanmen Jue was the calmest one. She thought for a moment before saying, "Oh, I forgot."
She didn't forget to repair herself; rather, she had used up all her points, leaving her with nothing. Naturally, she had no points left to repair herself. However, she hadn't suffered any injuries in the worlds before encountering the main god, and she had genuinely forgotten that she had accumulated some points.
Nanmen Jue didn't just endure the hardship; she simply turned back into the pillar of light and repaired her body.
A group of people waited anxiously outside for her, and when they saw her come out and regain her handsome appearance, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Jue..." Mo Gui rushed forward impatiently.
"Hmm?" Nanmen Jue said.
Mo Gui's words caught in his throat, "Are you... alright?"
"Didn't you see it all?" Nanmen Jue shrugged. "I'm perfectly fine, but the incarnation of the main god is gone again."
"Oh..." Mo Gui didn't feel much joy at all. He looked at Nanmen Jue with fear in his eyes, but he didn't know what he was afraid of.
Nanmen Jue didn't sense his subtle emotions. She patted his shoulder, turned to look at Ying Yao, and said, "Come with me."
Ying Yao immediately followed her, and the two hurriedly left through the crowd.
Nanmen Jue went back to 404 first, separated Yu Wanyan from his mind, and put her into a mini doll.
The baby can't move its body, it can only move its mouth.
"Nanmen Jue, what do you mean? You think I'm noisy?"
When Nanmen Jue was fighting desperately, Yu Wanyan screamed a lot, begging her to risk her life to save him, not to send her to her death.
Nanmen Jue said, "Isn't that a pretty good sign of self-awareness?"
Yu Wanyan was speechless with anger.
But what could she do? She was just a little baby.
After instructing Zhang Zhi to keep an eye on the little child, Nanmen Jue dragged Ying Yao back to the real world.
Generally, when reincarnators return to the real world, they return to the original location where they entered. However, if someone is guiding them, they will return together to the location where the guide entered.
Then Nanmen Jue brought Ying Yao to her home.
The house was still the same as before she left, cold and deserted. Because no one had lived there for a long time, the air was covered with a layer of dust, and people with respiratory problems would sneeze uncontrollably as soon as they came in.
Nanmen Jue and Ying Yao didn't sneeze, but they stirred up a cloud of dust.
Ying Yao silently looked at Nanmen Jue, watching her take a few steps forward and stop at the dining table in the living room.
"Don't you want to say anything?" Nanmen Jue said.
“You tell me, I’ll listen to you,” Ying Yao said.
Nanmen Jue rested one hand on the table and chuckled softly, "It seems like you've always been this kind of person since you met me."
What role?
“You analyze the pros and cons for me, offer me help, like Doraemon by Nobita’s side, you almost never take the initiative to do anything, it’s as if your existence is just to help me,” Nanmen Jue said.
“Then you think too highly of me. Every action I take has its own purpose,” Ying Yao said.
Nanmen Jue asked, "What do you ask for?"
Before Ying Yao could answer, she added, "Me?"
This even carried a provocative tone. Ying Yao didn't reply for a moment, but Nanmen Jue's keen hearing detected that his breathing had become slightly heavier.
“Xiao Jue, I’m not a saint.” Ying Yao’s voice became hoarse, carrying a suppressed aggressiveness that he had never shown to Nanmen Jue before. “Even if I like you, I can accept that you don’t like me, don’t respond to me, ignore me, but I will not accept you using that to humiliate me.”
Nanmen Jue turned around and carefully traced Ying Yao's eyebrows and eyes. He seemed to be really angry, with a chilling aura about him.
“That’s more like you,” she said.
Ying Yao was taken aback.
“You shouldn’t have been such a humble being. You are strong and proud. It’s just that you are a good person. First, you did it for Nanmen Yu, and then for me. In all things, meeting us two sisters was your biggest misfortune,” Nanmen Jue said with a smile.
Ying Yao was unsure of her thoughts, so he remained silent.
That hint of anger quickly disappeared. Of course, he knew that Nanmen Jue was not the kind of person who would use other people's feelings, let alone use them to humiliate others. But when people are moved by emotions, how can they always remain rational?
"...Actually, I don't really know myself anymore." After a long while, Ying Yao said softly, "I seem to have become very fragile. I can fall asleep at the slightest glance from you, and I can feel anxious and insecure because of a vague word from you. When I thought you were a man, I was prepared to never be known by you for the rest of my life, because I couldn't bear even a look of disgust from you... Just imagining you looking at me like that makes me go crazy, not to mention that you might try to keep me away from you."
Nanmen Jue became the silent one, looking at Ying Yao and listening intently.
This listening greatly encouraged Ying Yao, and he continued to pour out things that he had never intended for Nanmen Jue to know.
“I never expected a response from you.” Ying Yao was a gentle person, and even this kind of confiding was done quietly. “I know you two sisters better than you think. You grew up in an environment lacking love, and instead of craving love, you became resistant to emotions. I am not a saint, nor am I selfless. I know clearly that the most suitable way to stay by your side is as a trustworthy friend. You don’t want a lover, nor do you want an elder. The only person who can be your elder is Nanmen Yu.”
“Well said,” Nanmen Jue said softly. “I’ve always thought you were good at judging people, but you’ve always been by my side, deliberately suppressing your own brilliance so that others don’t understand you as well.”
“You say I avoid emotions, but aren’t you the same?” Nanmen Jue said calmly. “Of course I know you’re not a perfect person, not a selfless and devoted person. Just like how you don’t even let others know your name in order to avoid creating connections, and even if they know your name, you don’t let them call you anything. You’re the one who isolates everyone from yourself.”
Ying Yao's expression was hard to describe; it was a mixture of joy and fear. "Have you thought about these things?"
"Yes, I've thought about it. I've thought about so many things while I wasn't responding to you." Nanmen Jue revealed a sly smile. "It's really not easy to force you to reveal your true feelings."
Ying Yao's expression went blank: "What?"
"Just kidding." Nanmen Jue looked away awkwardly and muttered, "I didn't even know what I was doing back then... I'm really sorry for being so blunt with you."
What else could Ying Yao say? He could never truly be angry with Nanmen Jue.
He tried to raise the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something to ease the tension, but Nanmen Jue turned his gaze back.
He had never seen Nanmen Jue look like that before. The starlight outside the window was dazzling, and the snow reflected into the room, making her eyes sparkle and shimmer, like fragile stars.
"You said... that I should think more about you." She seemed as thin as snow, but her words were as sharp as ice. "It's a heavy burden to bear my hopes. I'm selfish. If you're only willing to let me see these things, it's not enough."
