"Is it really good to be a deity?" Gu asked the question once again while standing beside Mu Yu.
"Of course! What's wrong with that? I can be by your side every day," Mu Yu replied with a sweet smile, revealing a small tiger tooth that made her look quite fierce.
But Gu felt otherwise. What did it matter to a powerful immortal what a weak mortal thought? Immortals, who possessed immense strength, would never care about the musings of someone so insignificant. They struggled to exist in that world, hiding the ugliness of their power behind a glamorous facade and a mysterious veil. Were they not practitioners who sought power at any cost? Those who stood in their way were considered enemies. But had they ever thought about whether that person might be their own parents or siblings? What if it were their master? Could they truly defy the principles of heaven and morality for the sake of power? Was that what the so-called path entailed?
Mu Yu looked at Gu in surprise, completely unaware of why Gu was so upset. "Isn't being a deity good? If you don't want to do those things, you don't have to. No one is forcing me to act against my conscience."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing much, just remembering some things." Gu stepped closer to Mu Yu and gently embraced her, wishing he could stay like this forever.
"Then let's stay like this forever."
A gasp escaped Gu's lips as he felt overwhelmed.
A piercing scream echoed through the realm of Demon Spirits, causing some weaker ones to faint on the ground. The Azure Bull let out a muffled grunt, while the Spirit Cat collapsed on its back. The senior sister felt as if her head had been pierced by needles, bewildered by what had just happened.
In the pitch-black world of mortals, a pure red Yoyo stood on the gray-red Gu Shenpang, gazing at the brown-glowing Demon Spirits. Unlike other Demon Spirits that had physical forms, these seemed more like ghosts, capable of residing in the spiritual worlds of other beings.
Their claws resembled human palms but were elongated and direct. Their heads bore indistinct facial features that appeared hazy at first glance—like seeing someone dearly missed. But in an instant, they transformed into terrifying demons, their brown spiritual forms resembling floating pieces of debris in Tian Zai's sand pile, occasionally scattering and disappearing into the dark void.
In the world of souls, when Gu woke up from his dream, he found himself involuntarily transported to that realm, where he encountered the strange Demon Spirit.
I am strong, not at all like a human. A human with my level of cultivation could never possess such immense Soul Power or Divine Sense.
The bizarre Demon Spirit did not open its mouth, yet Gu could hear its words. It was clear that the Demon Spirit had no intention of letting Gu Chulei go.
Was it a request?
Gu held no affection for someone who intruded upon his dream. If I don't deny it and if Yoyo and I are truly connected in heart, Gu feared he might actually die in his sleep.
I spoke of mistakes; although I might not deny his wrongs now, back then, I had won.
Did I not have to pay some price? Gu Xiao approached the strange Demon Spirit. Perhaps I was already at the end of my strength.
Was I afraid he would drag me down with him?
What would helping him mean? Wouldn't it just lead to mutual destruction?
I said.
Help him find those people and ensure they leave safely.
As I spoke, several faces emerged in the dark space: Feng Xiao, Xiazhi, Qin Wenjun, Wen Tian, Chong Lou, Zhang Qian, Shi Li, Zheng Bin, Chu Hantian. Each face appeared clearly before me, every one of them etched in my memory. It was evident how deeply Gu Cuo remembered his senior brothers and sisters.
Light burst into Gu's eyes as the sunlight filtered through Chunxuan, casting a warm glow on his face. He shielded his eyes with his leg and slowly opened them, realizing he was still in the room. Was everything that had just happened a dream? Gu truly wished that such a dream could last a little longer, ideally for a lifetime.
Soon, countless Demon Spirits emerged from the Heavenly Ladder, rushing off in various directions within the Flowing Cloud Realm. Gu Zhi felt relieved; he no longer needed to climb any higher. The matters he wished to resolve had been taken care of, and with the help of the Demon Spirits, he should no longer have to worry about being troubled by them or his companions.
