Chapter 47: The Price of Soul Separation
"puff--"
The moment the Xingyin Boat completely shattered, a mouthful of black blood mixed with internal organ fragments could no longer be suppressed and spurted out of Zheng Qiuyu's mouth.
It's over.
With the burning fire on her back, her legs softened and she fell heavily to her knees at the entrance of the Abyss of Silent Souls. The bone-chilling coldness instantly spread from her knees to her whole body.
Ahead lay a storm of resentment that devoured even light. Billions of dead souls roared silently within it, and the sheer malevolence threatened to freeze her soul instantly. Let alone entering, just standing there made her feel as if her soul was being scraped inch by inch, the pain driving her insane.
The breathing of the man on his back was as weak as a candle in the wind, and it could go out at any time.
Dead end.
Zheng Qiuyu's vision began to go dark, his head was buzzing, and only one thought remained.
【Bringing him here was a complete mistake.】
She laughed at herself, tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, a wisp of resentment floated over tentatively, like a poisonous snake choosing its prey. It nimbly circled around a lifeless black stone at her feet, and then stabbed her ankle with incredible precision and chilling murderous intent!
Zheng Qiuyu subconsciously retracted her legs, and the severe pain that penetrated her soul instantly made her half sober.
etc……
Resentment, bypassing the stone?
An extremely absurd thought, like a black lightning, split her confused mind.
This thing... only attacks living things? Only devours "outsiders"?
So…what if I’m not an “outsider”?
What if I and this damn place have the same origin?
Zheng Qiuyu's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his heart was beating so wildly that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his throat.
cheat!
Isn't lying what she's best at?
She has deceived the burning fire and all the gods and Buddhas in the sky. This time, she wants to deceive this cursed world as well!
At this moment, my main strategy is to enter the game in reverse and commit extreme insurance fraud!
Crazy.
This idea is absolutely crazy.
But this is the only way!
Zheng Qiuyu carefully placed the burning fire against a black stone, then sat down cross-legged, his scarlet eyes flashing with resolute madness.
She closed her eyes, and her mind sank into her already shattered sea of consciousness, unleashing the forbidden power on herself.
【Word Spirit: Deceiving Heaven】
This time, the person she ordered was herself.
"My soul... stripped away!"
Boom!!!
The moment the order was given, Zheng Qiuyu's body suddenly arched like a cooked shrimp, and a shrill scream that was not like a human voice tore out from the deepest part of her throat!
It's not painful.
This goes beyond pain.
It was as if ten thousand invisible, cold hands reached into her brain, her heart, her limbs and bones at the same time, grabbed her very existence called "Zheng Qiuyu", and then... pulled it outward!
Half of myself is being forcibly expelled by the other half of myself!
She could clearly "see" that her memories were being peeled away. Those bits and pieces about Blue Star, about traveling through the book, and about encountering the burning fire were being torn in half!
“Ughh ...
What flowed out of the seven orifices was no longer blood, but black mist carrying the breath of the soul.
Her consciousness was wailing, tumbling, begging to stop.
But she gritted her teeth tightly, and when her teeth broke, she continued to grind the flesh with the broken teeth, allowing the severe pain to wash away her sanity into pieces. She only maintained the last bit of clarity and issued the cruelest orders.
come out!
Come out here!
Finally, after a muffled sound at the soul level, the half-illusory, glowing soul was pulled out of her body bloodily and hovered in front of her.
Empty.
Her body and soul instantly became empty and void, as if she had become a leaky pocket.
But it’s not over yet!
Zheng Qiuyu stretched out his trembling, almost transparent hand and grabbed the half of his soul.
Then, in front of it, I laughed.
Smiling is uglier than crying.
"I'm sorry, other me."
The next second, she exerted force with both hands.
Crush it!
Reshape!
She twisted half of her soul, along with all its memories, emotions, and will, into the most primitive soul power points! Then, using the power of "deceiving the heavens", she forcibly twisted and woven these points of light, disguising them as a mark containing the ultimate resentment and curse.
It was a bloody, weird "blood mark" that seemed to be formed by all the evil in the world!
The moment the mark is formed.
Buzz——
The storm of resentment that had roared for eons throughout the Silent Soul Abyss suddenly... came to a halt.
Dead silence.
Then, the black resentment, like a child who has found its mother, slowly and cautiously flowed towards her with a hint of curiosity and closeness, even touching her gently in a flattering manner, as if welcoming its long-lost counterparts back home.
The hoax...came true.
"puff!"
Zheng Qiuyu could no longer hold on, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he completely collapsed to the ground.
She was as pale as paper, the hollow feeling of her soul being torn apart leaving her so weak she didn't even want to move a finger. But she still struggled, crawling towards Shao Huo bit by bit like a maggot, and using all her strength, she once again carried him on her back, which was so thin that it was just a skeleton.
step.
step.
She carried him on her back and stepped into this forbidden land of death where even gods and demons dared not set foot.
At the bottom of the abyss, there is dead silence.
A huge, pitch-black heart, still beating slightly, was suspended in mid-air.
Mantra heart.
Every time it beat, the entire space trembled. The moment Zheng Qiuyu stepped in, the heart suddenly shook!
It sensed it! It sensed the familiar and hateful aura of the unconscious man on Zheng Qiuyu's back!
That was... its best friend in life!
It is also... its mortal enemy!
Violent resentment erupted instantly, activating the surrounding ancient stone tablets, causing the words on them to light up.
[To resolve this grudge, one must offer the soul of his beloved...]
Zhu Xin's "gaze", or rather, all of its malice, instantly shifted from Zhuo Huo to Zheng Qiu Yu!
It sensed it!
I sensed the deepest part of this woman's soul, the newly budding, fresh and hot, irresistible feelings for that man!
She is the "beloved".
She is the sacrifice!
boom!
The god-level resentment transformed into a raging black wave, engulfing the two of them! Zheng Qiuyu didn't even have the strength to resist and could only close his eyes in despair.
However, just when the resentment was about to touch her.
bite!
An extremely crisp golden sound!
In the sleeping Zhuo Huo, the cracked love chain mark between his eyebrows suddenly burst out with millions of feet of golden light!
A mighty power of the God of War, transcending all laws of this world and so overbearing it could crush the stars, erupted with a bang! Within the dormant body of the Burning Fire, fragments of the Godhead belonging to the God of War Xi were fully activated by the godly power of the Curse Heart!
That divine might was like an invisible giant hand of God, holding down the furious curse heart and suppressing it so that it could not move!
In the golden light, a fragment of memory that did not belong to her forced its way into Zheng Qiuyu's broken sea of consciousness.
[One hundred thousand years ago. In the name of "balance," Heaven intended to eliminate the Burning Flame, the source of chaos.]
(So, he has been hunted...)
[A female war god, Xi, wearing silver armor and holding a magic spear, personally sent him into the abyss in order to save him.]
(Xi... is it me?)
Then, she extracted all of her soul, leaving not a single bit behind, and forged it into a love chain that spanned time and space, locking it around him.
(So... I locked him up myself...)
That's not a curse!
Those are not shackles!
That was using one's own soul as a coordinate, positioning him in the endless void and reincarnation! Protecting him! Attracting a faint hope of life for him!
The truth was like a galaxy bursting its banks, instantly breaking down Zheng Qiuyu's strong defenses of two lifetimes.
She understood.
I understand everything.
The unconscious protection of the burning flame, the unreasonable dependence, and his inexplicable and uncontrollable heartbeat... the source, it turns out, is here.
Her tears finally burst out.
She looked at Zhuxin, who was temporarily unable to move due to divine power, and then looked down at Shaohuo, who was still sleeping in her arms. With tears in her eyes, she leaned over and gently kissed his cold lips.
This was the first time she kissed a man in her two lifetimes.
It’s also the last time.
She raised her head, tears on her face, but she smiled, a smile that was filled with relief and determination.
"Zhao Huo, this time, I'm not lying to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Qiuyu took the initiative to release the remaining half of his soul.
Her soul, along with the resolute will of "Xi" in the fragmented memory, rushed towards the suppressed curse heart like a moth to a flame!
There is no confrontation, only complete integration.
She used the last of her will to transform the endless resentment in the heart of the curse into a gentle, guiding force.
A "Reincarnation Guide" that is warm and emits soft light slowly takes shape at the original location of the mantra.
Zheng Qiuyu used up the last bit of his strength, raised his hand which had begun to become transparent, and gently inserted the "Reincarnation Guide" into the burning body.
Send him into reincarnation.
"Survive..."
Her voice was as light as the wind.
"I will find you."
The words fell.
Zheng Qiuyu's body turned into spots of light all over the sky and completely dissipated in the dead silent abyss.
Only a single warm tear was left, sliding silently down and dripping onto the burning cold cheek.
