Gu Qingyang remembered that at the end of that battle, he indeed died. He never had any memories after that.

Flesh and blood turned to ashes——

Bones turned into charcoal——

The soul is broken into pieces——

…

This kind of pain was the pain he experienced bit by bit at the beginning. And after that, his consciousness only existed in a few residual souls.

In that state, in his own perception, he was in a white world, standing there for a long time.

In that case, time is a concept of nothingness to him.

The passage of time has lost all meaning to him.

He couldn't practice, couldn't breathe, and couldn't feel the feeling of being alive.

From that state, his only clear feeling was that his soul was dying bit by bit.

However, just when he thought he was going to perish completely, he clearly felt that his remaining soul was being pulled by a force.

"Qingying——"

When Gu Qingyang saw Gu Qingying in front of him again, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

But soon, an extremely fragmented memory flooded into his mind.

This made him shed a few tears without even realizing it.

Even though his soul is still extremely weak now, he can still clearly feel the smell of blood between his mouth.

He could even see that Gu Qingying was slowly turning into ashes in front of his eyes, and then rushed into his body with the help of the breeze.

"Brother, I am eighteen years old this year."

These were the last words Gu Qingying left to Gu Qingyang. Before Gu Qingyang could react, Gu Qingying had completely turned into ashes.

"Qingying——"

Gu Qingyang roared, but his voice was extremely weak at this moment, with a serious hoarse feeling.

And after the ashes completely dissipated, what was left to Gu Qingyang was a white skeleton. Those bones were as bright as jade, all crystal clear.

"No, no-"

Before Gu Qingyang could do anything, he was surprised to find that the bloody chains on his body were pulling him, allowing him to devour these bones.

Relying on those fragmented memories, Gu Qingyang could vaguely understand that what he was devouring at this moment was Gu Qingying's life bone.

Moreover, while he is devouring these life bones, the magic patterns on his body will also activate on their own, refining all these life bones.

Gu Qingyang could feel it.

That feeling that your body does not belong to you at all. This feeling, to put it bluntly, is the feeling of losing your freedom.

However, the person who deprived him of his freedom was Gu Qingying, his sister. But Gu Qingying did this to save him.

At this moment, Gu Qingyang felt a mixture of emotions in his heart. He could no longer describe his current mood.

He just felt that he was in great pain.

He was very sad and extremely helpless.

And gradually, the feeling of losing his mind emerged from his heart again, like a tide, slowly swallowing him up.

"Why?"

"Why?"

"Why?"

…

Later, there was only one question left in Gu Qingyang's mind. He was asking himself repeatedly, asking that question.

He wanted to find the answer.

But, the answer actually existed in his heart, deep in his heart. When he looked into the darkness in his heart.

He saw an extremely nihilistic shadow in the darkness. He could recognize that the shadow was himself.

"dark--"

"destiny--"

"unfair--"

"strength--"

…

Concepts turned into thoughts, slowly emerging in Gu Qingyang's heart.

As these thoughts evolved, Gu Qingyang also remembered a lot of past events.

He thought of those days in the Gu family.

He thought of the northern wastelands.

He thought of the ancient hanging coffin sect.

He thought of the Great Liang tribe.

…

In this life, the two of them seemed to have traveled a long way hand in hand. However, they seemed to have only walked a short distance.

But what really touched his heartstrings was what Gu Qingying said to him just now. That was her sentence. She was eighteen years old this year.

This reminded Gu Qingyang of his previous life.

At that time, he still couldn't bring her back from death. At that time, he was still the same as he is now.

I can only watch helplessly.

And now, live a new life.

His strength is obviously much stronger than before.

He had obviously brought Gu Qingying back from the gate of hell.

But it seemed that he could only watch Gu Qingying leave.

This made Gu Qingyang feel powerless.

He can no longer generate any power to drive his current body.

He can only feel that even if he is reborn now, he still seems to be a walking zombie.

Gu Qingyang felt that he had many, many things he wanted to say now.

But now, he can't even say a word, let alone a word.

His heart was already firmly occupied by sadness.

But just when he was immersed in this feeling.

However, he felt that there was a kind of power emerging from his body.

"This is--"

"Tai Cang Ku Rong Jing?"

"The True Demon Immortal Sutra?"

"Also, the Rainfall Reincarnation Technique."

…

When Gu Qingyang felt the strange phenomenon in his body, he was stunned.

He really didn't expect that Gu Qingying wanted to do more than just bring him back to life.

It wasn't until this moment that he could combine the fragmented memories and fully understand Gu Qingying's thoughts.

However, this also made him fall into the pain of a choice.

How should he be now?

His reason was telling him all the time that the most important thing he should do now was to take advantage of this opportunity to practice as soon as possible.

Only in this way can he not waste his sister's arrangements, live up to his sister's wishes, and maximize their strength.

But, he couldn't pass the test in his heart.

His sister died.

She died for him.

She used her bones to reshape his body for him so that his soul could have a new destination.

In the eyes of other demon cultivators, this kind of thing would be simply a great opportunity. It can definitely be called a God-given opportunity.
