Chapter 1162: Chapter 542: The Seventh Supre... Taihua! (2)
But because He is the Supre of the Third Force, those ancient syllables also contain the power to end everything, precisely the power that the Primal fears the most!
A great sigh echoed between heaven and earth.
The will of the Primal fell into eternal slumber.
Endless light subrged Qilin Venerable like a tide, His Ink Jade Mask broke inch by inch, and the steel-hard scales burned into charcoal, His entire body cracked and shattered.
Only that delicate face remained intact, the extinguished golden eyes reflecting a withered ancient tree, He staggered and turned around, collapsing to the ground expressionlessly.
It was like Taihua of the past, burning out His own life.
Also like the teacher not long ago, exhausting the last bit of ti.
Facing His own death.
The Qilin Wedge embedded deep in the earth’s core could no longer unleash the power of the Third Law, as its master had exhausted the last of His life and spirituality. The fog that perated earlier devoured the giant withered ancient tree, like a monster roaring as it consud His flesh and blood.
The Candle Light Divine Tree was powerless to stop it, His will already dead.
Amidst endless light and heat, the Vermilion Bird Venerate walked out unscathed, for the first ti a confused expression appeared in His eyes, unable to understand why things turned out this way.
Ti and space were reversed, Candle Dragon Venerable approached, walking on a field of blooming mandala flowers, those bewitching eyes reflected the face of a youth, as if this was His true self.
No anger, no majesty, and no world-destroying power.
He was silent and distant, clearly within reach, yet as far away as the horizon.
"Are you satisfied?"
She spoke softly, Her voice ethereal and wondrous.
Gu Jianlin responded with a hum, His furious and frantic will burned out, the anger having turned Him to ashes, everything that needed guarding had been guarded, nothing He couldn’t let go of.
Except for the Grandmaster and the teacher, there were only two people in the world He once wanted to protect but failed to, and they were Old Gu and Skylark of the past.
But it wasn’t because He was incompetent, it was because those two people simply didn’t exist.
"The will of the Primal has been destroyed by , the power of the Third Law will devour everything. Now there’s nothing left for you to fight over, everything can finally end." Gu Jianlin felt this dinsion collapsing, yet silently smiled, gently humming a tune.
Candle Dragon Venerable’s beautiful eyes rippled, She had once heard that song while wandering the mortal world, even attended a singer’s concert, and rembered that lody.
The song’s na was "Innocent Evil."
"Do you know what was the cruelest thing you did to ."
"It was when you ruthlessly turned
into an adult overnight."
"Reckless innocence instantly turned into scars along the journey."
"I miss my foolishness."
Amidst the faint humming, the embers of the Candle Light Divine Tree fell down, appearing like black snow in the eyes of the youth, darkness descending upon His vision, consciousness sinking.
"My beloved, you know too well how to ruin a person for life."
"You added bad guys into His clean, sterile thed park."
"Poor innocent heart suddenly realized being a bit selfish isn’t excessive."
"Better than self-immolation for you..."
This was a love song about growth, perhaps unsuitable for this setting, yet it inadvertently captured the entirety of the youth’s life, in the most ironic, cruel way.
The Vermilion Bird Venerate suddenly understood, why this child chose to follow him instead of His mother years ago, there’s no child in the world who doesn’t want their mother, no exceptions.
But Gu Jianlin chose to follow him.
At first, He just thought, He was more mature, not wanting to burden His mother.
But at this mont, He suddenly rembered.
On the night Gu Ci’an decided to divorce many years ago, he once hid alone in the study, holding a family photo, crying bitterly, extinguished cigarettes piling up like a small mountain.
He thought no one knew, but there was always a small figure watching him from outside the door.
It turned out the reason why that child followed him, was just to keep him from being too lonely.
Gu Jianlin had long known his father’s struggles, never once blad him, He just didn’t want when his father finally found ti, to discover that His forr wife and son were living a happy life, while only he remained alone, everyone knows that feeling is unbearable.
Later, Gu Jianlin beca so sensible, always topping His class, managing His life ticulously, the true reason wasn’t precocity, but to make His father happy.
He didn’t know what help He could offer, only striving to do everything to the best of His ability.
Everything Gu Jianlin did, was not to chase after His father’s footsteps.
The reason He investigated everything recklessly, besides protecting people around Him, was more importantly, only this way, could He feel the presence of His father again.
"You could have beco a god, standing at the summit of this universe, yet you chose this ending yourself. I can’t understand, is Gu Ci’an truly that important to you?"
The Vermilion Bird Venerate asked softly.
Gu Jianlin gazed into His eyes, and said softly: "Yes, although he was fake, at the mont he held
during that car accident, I felt he was real."
"But you are not my father."
He turned His head, raising His dim eyes to look at the peerlessly beautiful young maiden.
