Chapter 690: Chapter 195: Pure Land Farewell to the Departed (Long Chapter)
“Actually, I still have many concerns and much to say. Before my long sleep in the cetery, Little Nanfeng of the Gu family had just learned to speak… By now, he must have beco soone capable of standing on his own, right? I also promised Mr. Zhou Wei to play chess with him, but I wonder how his health has been these years?”
Gu Changzhi’s eyes showed a hint of regret.
He softly recited one familiar na after another.
Outside Qingzhong, there were still many old friends…
So much to say.
His attachnt to the world, how could these few letters say it all?
“Actually, becoming Lord Divine might not be a good thing.”
Gu Changzhi said sowhat desolately, “A Lord Divine cannot traverse life and death, nor share the common human experiences of aging and sickness. Now that I am leaving this world, my heart is full of regrets. I feel I can still fight, still invincible, but unfortunately… the great Dao is rciless.”
No one can contend with life and death.
Gu Changzhi was no exception.
“Sir…”
Gu Shen also sighed deeply.
The sadness that had sowhat dissipated in his heart began to well up again slowly.
He knew it was ti to part.
Under the suspenwood tree on the other side, Master Qianye and Chu Ling’s conversation had also ended; drifting leaves flew about as the suspenwood wavered, producing a clear sound like a bell from its long leaves.
Gu Changzhi patted Gu Shen on the shoulder and said softly, “There is no feast in the world that doesn’t end.”
Gu Shen took a deep breath.
Gu Changzhi walked under the suspenwood tree, took Qianye’s hand, and the two smiled at each other.
Chu Ling also walked to Gu Shen’s side, subconsciously clasping his arm.
Her eyes were slightly reddened.
She said hoarsely, “Being a human… isn’t as joyful as one imagines.”
Parting from life and death is inevitable.
Having tasted the sweetness of the world, one always wishes it would co later.
Gu Shen gently patted the back of her hand and said nothing.
Gu Changzhi and Qianye walked towards the horizon.
Pure Land is a miraculous world ford by spiritual power, situated between reality and illusion; looking far into the distance, it is boundless. The stronger the spiritual power, the deeper one can venture…
They walked towards a very distant place, without looking back.
That was the end of the world.
Even Gu Shen did not know where the end of this world was.
Above Gao Tian, a strand of Battle Fla floated among the clouds, following the blurred figure of Gu Changzhi toward the far end of the sky, pursuing, burning fiercely and poignantly as it trailed a very long tail in the lofty sky, thus scattering the last divine nectar.
The flas fell, but did not burn upon this land.
Instead, they transford into a gentle breeze, into a radiant light, lting away… Following that, the barren soil of Pure Land broke apart, sprouting green shoots.
Spring, sumr, autumn, winter.
The breathing thod of Four Seasons Wilderness was scattered over Pure Land by the Battle Fla, leaving behind a complete set of “operational rules.”
Gu Changzhi had burned up everything he had.
He had reached the furthest place beyond sight…
Suddenly, Gu Shen raised his palms and cupped them on both sides of his face, calling out loudly.
“Sir!”
“… Will we still et again?!”
This thread of heartfelt voice, gathered by spiritual power.
Broke through the clouds.
Broke through the drifting spring rains, the bleak autumn winds.
It is unknown how many miles it traveled, how many clouds it shattered.
And it is unknown whether it reached the ears of Gu Changzhi, who had vanished at the end of Pure Land.
Gu Shen waited a long ti but did not receive any echo.
He stood desolately under the suspenwood tree, his robe wetted by the drifting rain, the black robe of the Netherworld King turning into evaporating ink under the nourishnt of the spring rain, reviving everything, as this piece of Pure Land awaited renewal.
Yet the old friend had departed, leaving only a silhouette behind.
In fact, he also knew.
This question, would remain unanswered.
Just as Gu Shen was about to turn around.
The suspenwood emitted a clear bell sound.
As if it were an illusion.
A familiar deep laughter resounded by Gu Shen’s ears.
Comforting, steadying.
“Of course.”
This voice jolted him, causing him to look up incredulously towards the suspenwood; the long leaves danced and rang for reasons unknown, and then Gu Shen once again looked towards the direction where Gu Changzhi had disappeared.
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing this, Chu Ling asked with concern.
“Just now… didn’t you hear it?”
Gu Shen murmured.
Seeing Chu Ling’s perplexed expression.
“Maybe… I misheard.”
Gu Shen smiled, lowering his gaze, “I heard Mr. Gu Changzhi say, we’ll et again.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Ling also seed a bit dazed.
She remained silent for a long while, then chuckled softly, “Yes… where in the world cannot we et again?”
…
…
Outside the cetery, it was getting crowded again with Transcendents.
Everyone was waiting!
Waiting… for the appearance of Lord Divine.
After a grand Divine War, the walls of Qingzhong Cetery had been almost completely demolished, the chaotic essence pervading and entwining the area around the cetery outskirts, and the command post along with the Security Committee’s prepared Transcendents took control of this place imdiately. However, overco with emotion, so disregarded their injuries and waited outside the cetery, eager to witness Mr. Gu Changzhi’s divine radiance with their own eyes!
Changye had awaited this day for too long!
These twenty years… because of the dormancy of the Battle God Throne, they had suffered many grievances, endured many humiliations!
But today was different!
The Divine Throne of East Continent had awakened!
Inside the cetery, the golden pillar of light, along with that familiar aura of the Battle God Domain, was intensely palpable even from miles away!
