Against the Gods

Hua Caili was stunned for a long time by Yun Che's "mature" teachings, as if she was trying hard to understand and digest his words.

But after the silence, what sounded was an exceptionally clear and sweet "puff" sound.

Yun Che unconsciously stretched out his hand and pressed the tip of his nose: "What I said...is there anything funny?"

"No, no." Hua Caili hurriedly covered her lips, but her smile did not disappear: "It's just that the way you looked just now, and the words you said, are just like my father."

Yun Che: "..."

"You are obviously so young." Hua Caili's eyes curled up: "I have firmly remembered what you said. But there is one sentence that I cannot agree with."

"Which sentence?"

"You say you are cold and heartless." There was an irrefutable seriousness in her smile: "Although my experience is very shallow and I probably haven't interacted with as many people as you, there is one thing I am sure of. You are definitely not cold and heartless. On the contrary, you are the best person I have ever met in this experience.”

Just as Yun Che was about to speak, he was hurriedly interrupted by Hua Caili: "Don't deny it in a hurry. The day we first met in Linyuan Realm, you and I didn't know each other, but you decisively rescued me; Princess Helian from Linyuan Realm is kind to you. You helped the entire Helian royal family gain the qualifications to enter Linshen Realm, and you also won their long-lost dignity."

"For me, you have saved me many times, but you always remember the kindness you owe me and wish you could pay it back tenfold. You also agreed to the excessive request of walking with me."

"So, not only are you not cold and heartless, you are actually the most affectionate person I have ever seen."

Yun Che opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted again by Hua Caili: "There is another irrefutable proof!"

"Your light profound power." She looked at Yun Che, her beautiful eyes gleaming with stars: "Although I have never seen light profound power before. But all mystical practitioners know that the reason why people with light profound power are so rare is that It’s because carrying the profound power of light requires a sacred and innocent body and a pure and kind mind.”

"And such a person...such a Mr. Yun can only be treated as the furthest thing from 'cold and ruthless' in this world."

The girl's eyes were too clear, which made him look away, and said with a smile: "The so-called characteristics of light profound power are just rumors. You only said that I value friendship, but do you still remember that at the Linshen Meeting? , I tortured my opponents arbitrarily, and my methods were cruel, without any mercy; just now, I killed three of them without even moving an eyebrow. "

"Or, you can guess how many people I have killed in my life..."

Yun Che's words did not make Hua Caili show the slightest confusion or shock. Instead, he slowly shook his head, and the smile between his eyebrows became more beautiful: "My father once said that a person's appearance and talent are predetermined by nature and cannot be changed. . However, putting aside these unchangeable things, being able to cherish love and hate evil, and be happy with gratitude and hatred is one of the best things in this life."

"Being gentle to the enemy is to kill yourself, being kind to the evil is to help evil..." She muttered softly, and then blinked: "In the past, I only thought these teachings from my father were very nagging and boring, but when I met Mr. Yun , my father’s words that should have been forgotten suddenly became very clear.”

Her father is one of the Seven Gods of the Six Kingdoms. To be able to match his words of praise is the highest level of recognition in the world.

"Okay, okay." Yun Che looked half helpless and half flattered: "Since Sister Qu said this, it must be right. I can claim to be a good person everywhere in the future."

"It is." After emphasizing, she did not forget to add: "I would also like to thank Mr. Yun for helping me find the answer, otherwise I would never have thought of it in many years."

Invisibly, there was a little less distance between the two, and a little more warmth.

"No wonder you want to take the initiative to expose the light profound power." Li Suo's voice sounded suddenly.

"Building trust and shortening the distance by proactively exposing huge secrets is the second most important thing. The most important thing is to awaken the other party's 'cognition'."

"That's right." Yun Che replied calmly: "I have lamented more than once that fixed cognition is the most terrifying thing in some aspects."

"You see," he said with pride: "Based on her understanding of the 'Light Mysterious Power', she has already determined that I am the purest and most benevolent person in her underlying cognition. Even I consider myself ruthless, even with my own eyes When she witnesses me torturing my opponents and killing people ruthlessly, she will find reasons for me to deny it...Oh, irrefutable evidence."

"...not without despicableness." Li Suo commented.

Yun Che smiled indifferently: "The moment I, Wuhai, met her, it was already the beginning of despicableness."

Li Suo: "However, you seem to have failed."

"Failed?" Yun Che's eyebrows moved: "How do you say it?"

Li Suo said slowly: "Your original intention was to make her have feelings for you as a man and a woman. But she just said something, and your posture is like her father. How can you have feelings for a man and a woman like this?"

"You don't understand this." Yun Che Shiran said: "Her shallow experience in the world can be seen at a glance. In this way, she has the most contact in her life, the most admired, respected, and the tallest man imaginable. There is no doubt that he is her father. She always mentioned the word 'father' inadvertently when talking to me."

"So, her casual words can be regarded as subconsciously bringing the image of his father and me closer. This is not a failure, but a transfer of closeness, trust and even a little admiration. It is the best state."

"...??" Li Suo couldn't understand and was speechless.

"Oh, I forgot." Yun Che suddenly realized: "You have no parents, so it's naturally difficult to understand."

"..." Li Suo stopped talking.

At this moment, an extremely abnormal wave of Yuanchen came from behind.

Yun Che turned around quickly, and Hua Caili also uttered a startled cry at the same time: "Look! Ah... Could it be..."

As far as the sight can be seen, the middle-aged man who was nailed to the ground by Yun Che's sword just now and whose aura was exhausted was surrounded by gray mist, and the surrounding Yuanchen was like being pulled by an invisible force, rushing towards his body.

However, this lifeless body was not swallowed by Yuanchen, but turned black little by little. Then, a violent cold and dark aura slowly rose.

Zhi!

The body under the gray mist moved, and the legs supported the body pierced by the giant sword, and slowly stood up.

He was surrounded by gray air, and the vaguely recognizable face was gray and white like a corpse. And a pair of eyes suddenly emitted two points of terrifying black light similar to Yuan beasts.

The profound power that should have been dormant forever with the death of the body, rose again in his body, but it was more violent than when he was alive.

"Yuan... Ghost!" Hua Caili groaned softly.

A profound beast that was completely eroded by Yuan Chen would turn into a Yuan beast.

And a person who was completely eroded by Yuan Chen would turn into a Yuan ghost.

However, a profound beast that was eroded would become a Yuan beast. And a person who was eroded would go from being severely injured to death, and then be destroyed into nothingness after death... Only one in ten thousand could turn into a Yuan ghost.

As for under what circumstances, a person would be eroded by Yuan Chen and become a Yuan ghost... Some speculated that it was because of a special physique, and was alienated by Yuan Chen before being devoured; some speculated that it was because of a special soul, and was assimilated with Yuan Chen. There were many different opinions, but there was still no conclusion.

A strange light suddenly appeared in Yun Che's eyes.

During the time he entered the fog sea, he encountered countless Yuan beasts and occasionally saw Yuan ghosts. But it was the first time that he witnessed a dead profound person being alienated into a Yuan ghost.

The newly born Abyss Ghost grabbed the hilt with both hands and pulled it out of its body, splashing out the red and black blood like the Abyss Beast.

A pair of terrifying Abyss eyes pierced Yun Che and Hua Caili.

Then, he let out a scream that was not human, and swung the giant sword to hit the two people.

Abyss Ghosts, like Abyss Beasts, have the purest desire for destruction.

But unlike Abyss Beasts, their bodies transformed by the Abyss still retain the instinct to control power and fight. In the foggy sea with endless Abyss Dust, their injuries will heal quickly, and their power will never run out. They are much more terrifying than Abyss Beasts and themselves in their lifetime.

The sword power and sword intention carried by the giant sword are no less than those in life, and are even more violent under the blessing of Abyss Dust.

Hua Caili snorted and was forced back several feet in an instant.

Yun Che went straight up, and the King of Hell opened his hand, grabbing the giant sword without retreating.

With a roar, the bones of Yuan Gui's hands were all broken, and the body wrapped in gray fog was also knocked over in the air. Yun Che swung his sword back and smashed Yuan Gui's body fiercely.

Boom boom boom boom boom --

Every time the power of the demigod fell, Yuan Gui's body would be twisted. When the seventh sword fell, Yuan Gui's body finally couldn't hold on any longer and broke into several pieces in the air.

Yun Che took a step forward, and the power of the Ice Phoenix suddenly covered Yuan Gui's broken body, quickly covering and sealing it, and then breaking it into ice dust all over the sky.

Around the ice dust, wisps of thick gray fog rose and scattered, and soon melted into the endless sea of ​​fog.

Yun Che slowly put down his palm, and his eyes always followed the wisps of scattered gray fog.

"You scared me." Hua Caili walked over quickly, but her face was full of surprise and excitement: "This is the first time I've seen someone turn into a deep ghost right in front of me."

"Me too." Yun Che nodded: "Is it also an unexpected gain?"

The roar of the deep beast came from afar, obviously disturbed by the huge movement just now.

"Let's leave here first."

The two restrained their breath and went in the direction where there was no roar.

When the figure was completely swallowed by the deep fog, Yun Che silently looked back and glanced at the direction where the deep ghost was previously.

"Why is your soul sea so violent?" Li Suo suddenly asked.

Even when he saw the Lin God in the Lin God Realm, his heart and soul had never been so violent.

"I seem to have discovered something incredible." Yun Che narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking: "But it will take time to verify."

…………

Ten days later, the outer edge of the fog sea

"...I still can't face the death of living beings as calmly as you do. Is this cowardly?"

"No. It's because you are too kind by nature, and because you have only seen the beauty of the world before, and you are not used to the misery that is more cruel than death."

"More cruel than death..." Hua Caili thought for a long time, and asked puzzledly: "What kind of misery can be more cruel than death?"

These days, she asked Yun Che too many questions unconsciously.

"Many, many." Yun Che looked ahead and answered in a calm voice:

"For example... the homeland that was reduced to ashes before my eyes..."

"The lost love forever..."

"The truth that is too late to regret..."

"The despair of having no choice..."

"The trust in the evil heart, the poisonous words and trauma to the sincere heart..."

"A lot...In comparison, death is just a moment of fear and pain, and sometimes even a kind of relief that people crave. "

Hua Caili unconsciously pressed her snow-white hand against her chest.

Those plain words made her feel sad and suffocated.

Her father, aunt, and the Zhetian Divine Kingdom flashed before her eyes unconsciously... She shook her head and said: "I have never thought about these before, and I don't dare to think about it now. Oh... just listening to what you said. It feels so scary.”

"Whoever encounters one of these is pitiful."

Yun Che smiled and said, "Don't worry. A beautiful person like you must be blessed by heaven. The relatives around you will definitely not let these worldly miseries contaminate you at all."

She turned her eyes and looked at Yun Che for a while, then asked seriously: "It's really strange. You are only half a century old, but why do you know and see so many things? It's just like those... Just like the predecessors who have traveled countless times.”

"Probably because my experience is quite special. And..."

His voice stopped and he hesitated for a long time before he finally seemed to make a decision: "Sister Qu, actually... I am not even half a century old."

"Eh?" Hua Caili's eyes widened in surprise: "But, at the Linshen Meeting, I saw with my own eyes that your bone age was measured to be a little over half a century."

Yun Che stopped in his tracks: "It's not that there's something wrong with the calculation of the Mysterious Monument. What it measures is the bone age of a person. And I..."

After a pause, blue light flashed across his body, and the shadow of a huge Canglong slowly appeared behind him... accompanied by the power of the Canggu Dragon that instantly sealed the entire space.

"Ah!" Hua Caili screamed in surprise and took a small step back. Her wide-open beautiful eyes reflected the dragon shadow overlapping with Yun Che's.

Yun Che smiled slightly, lowered his arms, and the dragon shadow and dragon power also dissipated: "I have the dragon marrow and dragon soul given by the master, so my bones and blood must be different from ordinary people. Mysterious tablet used to measure people's bone age Naturally, my exact age cannot be determined.”

"I said before that I was only ten years old when Master rescued me. More than a hundred years have passed since then. So my real age should be two years old."

Looking at Hua Caili, whose pink lips were half-opened and still astonished, he said with a guilty expression: "Dragon marrow and dragon soul are also secrets that Master has told not to be known to anyone, so they have hidden them from Sister Qu for so long. Sister Qu If you are angry, I will... let you be punished."

Compared with the surprise of Hua Colored Glass, the heart and soul of Hua Qingying in the distant sky was shaking like all the mountains collapsing.

With his experience in painting colored glass, he couldn't tell what was wrong with Yun Che's dragon soul. But what an experience it is to draw a clear shadow...

"Dragon God..." She muttered in a low voice, and then her voice was filled with unbelievable surprise:

"Ancestor...Dragon...on...?"
