Chapter 456: Saving the World
Chapter 456: Saving the World
"Of course, although they are all one person, when interacting, I feel like they are two completely different individuals."
Gu An replied earnestly, as this was indeed his genuine thought.
However, each Ji Xiaoyu shared the same soul, but due to the loss of memories and the creation of new experiences, different emotions were born, and he couldn't split Ji Xiaoyu's soul into two.
The Cycle Dao Emperor reincarnated through his own soul, not through soul division or incarnation.
Gu An spoke of his current feelings, and they were indeed his true sentiments.
Once Ji Xiaoyu's memories completely merged, she wouldn't be so conflicted. But this period of interaction would occupy a place in Gu An's memories, one that even Ji Xiaoyu's true self couldn't replace.
For anyone standing in the world, their own feelings are undoubtedly the most important. Even for the same person, the feelings they evoke in different periods can vary, and many even yearn for their past selves.
Hearing Gu An's words, Ji Xiaoyu's face lit up with a smile. "If that's the case, then I have no regrets in this life."
As Gu An was about to respond, Ji Xiaoyu fixed her gaze on him, her lips curving upward, and asked, "Have you ever thought that I might have been myself from the very beginning?"
Gu An raised an eyebrow, but before he could answer, Ji Xiaoyu turned and headed back inside.
The Lunar Solar Emperor's face lit up with excitement, and he looked at her with trembling anticipation.
"Lunar Solar Emperor, go and confront the Heaven Demon Clan. Wait for me to recover my cultivation."
Ji Xiaoyu spoke without turning back, and the Lunar Solar Emperor was overjoyed. He immediately bowed and saluted before disappearing from the spot.
Gu An watched Ji Xiaoyu's departing figure, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He suddenly recalled the words Ji Xiaoyu had spoken to him in the Seven Star Spirit Realm, using the power of the Heavenly Origin Talisman.
"I never expected to underestimate you, Sword Venerable. I look forward to meeting you again in the future."
Could it be that Ji Xiaoyu chose to continue her reincarnation in the Ji family and used the name Ji Xiaoyu in order to meet him?
Upon careful consideration, it was indeed possible. Ji Xiaoyu was aware of all her cause and effect, and it couldn't have been a coincidence that the Dao Support Sword Venerable appeared when she was in peril.
The strength Gu An had displayed in Ji Xiaoyu's eyes should have been capable of annihilating the Seven Star Spirit Realm at any moment. Yet, he only intervened when she was in danger, which seemed suspicious.
Gu An thought about this life's Ji Xiaoyu's attitude towards him, and he couldn't tell if it was a masterful performance or genuine affection.
Without further thought, he turned and walked towards the stairs.
Meteors streaked across the sky, and strong winds blew in from the distance, one after another. The entire Third Medicine Valley was in an uproar, and a tense and terrifying atmosphere permeated the world.
The Taicang Continent remained unaffected for the time being, but the overseas world had already descended into chaos. The Demon King Sect swept across the entire world, and teleportation barriers appeared in various places, allowing an endless stream of Demon Kings to descend directly into the world. They slaughtered any living beings they encountered, be they human or demon.
From beyond the heavens, the Heavenly Spirit Great World appeared as a magnificent painting, but it was marred by the continuous appearance of ink dots. These ink dots continued to spread.
The Primordial Abyss Demon God had already arrived near the Heavenly Spirit Great World, and ahead of him stood seven Freedom Immortals: the Yang Xian Emperor, the Holy Minister, the Ancient Immortal Emperor, the Holy Ancestor, and three Freedom Immortals who had returned from beyond the heavens.
Even though they shared the same great realm, the seven Freedom Immortals still felt immense pressure.
The oppressive aura of the Primordial Abyss Demon God was incredibly strong, making them feel as if they were facing an even higher realm.
"Primordial Abyss Demon God, it's truly a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. To die by his hand would not be a wasted life of cultivation."
The Holy Ancestor sighed, stroking his beard with a long laugh, unafraid.
However, not all Freedom Immortals could be as carefree as him. Many Freedom Immortals had solemn expressions, each summoning their own supreme treasures of the Immortal Dao, their auras grand and awe-inspiring.
Behind them, the Holy Court and Immortal Dynasty's cultivators were locked in battle with the Demon King Clan, fighting fiercely. After countless years of conflict, they had now united to face the external threat.
Some fled, but more chose to fight to the death, guarding the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
...
Two days later.
At noon, the sky remained dark, with rolling black clouds.
Absolute Luo Sword Lord sat under a tree, gazing beyond the heavens, deep in thought.
Xu Jie, dressed in blue, approached. He came before Absolute Luo Sword Lord and respectfully bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance over the years. I'm preparing to join the sect's expedition, and I don't know if I'll ever return. I haven't yet repaid your guidance, so I can only offer my respects first."
Absolute Luo Sword Lord replied, "Go. In times of great chaos, it's a golden opportunity for true geniuses. With the world in turmoil, as long as you survive, you'll have the chance to seize cultivation opportunities."
Xu Jie smiled and thanked him again. He was sincere, and after expressing his gratitude, he turned and left.
Absolute Luo Sword Lord didn't care about his life or death. He only spoke those words for Gu An's sake.
Xu Jie was just one example. Although the Taicang Continent was far from the chaos, they didn't consider it a good thing. Led by the Taixuan Sect, the righteous sects quickly reached an agreement: to venture out to sea and vanquish demons, contributing to the protection of the world.
When Lu Baitian issued the call to arms, the entire sect became exhilarated, proud to be disciples of the Taixuan Sect.
Who among the righteous cultivators wouldn't want to save the world?
Facing such a calamity, the Taixuan Sect's bold initiative was enough to inspire nine out of ten disciples, even igniting a desire to fight to the death for the cause.
The Third Medicine Valley wasn't summoned because its primary purpose was cultivating medicinal herbs. However, Gu An also gave his disciples the choice to join the expedition if they wished. They could go, but they had to consider it carefully. He wouldn't intervene unless the enemy reached the Taicang Continent.
After Gu An's announcement, over five hundred disciples wanted to join the Taixuan Sect's expedition, while many more were still observing, and only a few had no intention of going.
On this day, Gu An left the Third Medicine Valley alone. The Blood Prison Great Sage wanted to follow, but he was refused.
Gu An went to the Secluded Paradise and brought out the three Heavenly Demon Children. Then, he took a step and crossed over to the distant sea, arriving at an island far from the Taicang Continent.
Standing on the island, the three Heavenly Demon Children could see demonic energy surging from all directions, as if they were in the Demon Realm.
After nearly a millennium of isolation, everything seemed novel to them.
"Half an hour later, the tribulation will begin. You can explore the island," Gu An said, his gaze fixed on the distant heavens.
The Primordial Abyss Demon God hadn't made a move yet. The Tyrant of the Demon King Clan acted alone, suppressing the seven Freedom Immortals with overwhelming strength.
The Tyrant did this intentionally, and Gu An could sense the rising morale on the Demon King Clan's side. In contrast, the Holy Court and Immortal Dynasty, after two days of bloody battles, had lost their fighting spirit and were now fighting instinctively.
Gu An noticed the weakening of the Heavenly Dao Light Layer beyond the heavens, which piqued his interest.
Would the Annihilation Domain's fortune devour the Heavenly Dao's fortune?
Could the Great World conflict be a battle between the Annihilation Domain and the Heavenly Dao?
His gaze traversed the boundless battlefield, reaching the distant Universe Black City. He was curious about what the Annihilation Emperor intended to do.
