In anger, he killed Zong Gu, who had been cultivated for a long time with one sword. Emperor Ju still regretted it afterwards.
On the one hand, Chao Wuling, who was considered her own, was quite hit. Although she had never said anything to her, she was depressed for several months;
On the other hand, she quickly realized that it would be difficult for her to find a more suitable successor than him.
And afterwards, if he had not told him the truth in this intense way, or if he had put in more patience and time at that time, he might not have accepted it.
But things have come to this point, and regret is useless and it is too late.
After Soya's death, she no longer had the interest in staying in the children's welfare home. She simply ended her dormant for more than ten years and returned to Kyoto.
Half a year passed, and the adopted daughter seemed to have gradually come out, and her pain was still tormenting her day after day.
She realized that she had to continue looking for a successor.
However, after Zong Gu, this matter was subjectively more difficult - she looked down on those who were not as good as him.
Not everyone can meet the conditions of the successor of the Lord of Huangquan.
First and most importantly, one must be a powerful spiritual enlightener;
Secondly, to truly end the chaos caused by her escape from the underworld, the successor must have sufficient abilities;
Finally, the successor who becomes a god with a human body must have a strong sense of responsibility and be able to endure the loneliness of the dead and silent lunar spring and cannot escape like her. Otherwise, she will still be the one who continues to bear the consequences of the chaos in the yellow spring.
Apart from watching Zong Gu grow up with her own eyes, she didn't think anyone could meet these conditions at the same time.
And before such a Zonggu became more mature, she was killed by her own hands.
In search of fruitlessness, Emperor Orange returned to the state of despair and resentment of the past, and even wanted to start his own world trip in a century in advance.
After two years in Kyoto in such a daze, one day, Sonoya, who thought he had died, came to him.
The god's eyes could see through everything - the one who came to the door was actually his Huiguang Spirit.
In the subsequent conversation, she even learned that he had completely forgotten everything that happened in the Huangquan Hall that day. He had only concealed his identity and complained about not going to Huangquan to save him.
Apart from surprise, she didn't know what other words to describe her mood.
While telling him about the past, she quickly came up with a new plan:
She wanted to let him deeply feel the chaos in the world brought about by the Lordless Yellow Spring, and let him find it himself, kill the Eight Thunder Gods, and obtain the Eight Thunder Gods power needed to become a god.
——The person who is more suitable to become the successor of Huangquan’s dominance than the former Zonggu, is the only person who has become more mature in all aspects after wandering in Huangquan for two years.
"... Fang Ming not only became Hui Guangling, but also escaped from the underworld. It really surprised me for a long time."
In the Huangquan Hall, the Orange Emperor walked out from behind the throne and put one hand on his shoulder.
"I was relieved too. When I saw Yoshimi at Kyoto, I even thought, could it be my husband who was far away from Gaotianyuan who saw me so pitiful that he let Yoshimi return to me in this way
It's all."
“…”
All the memories of the body and spirit were integrated into one, Zong Gu's heart was complicated and he ignored her for the time being.
He looked at Chao Wuling, who was crying and silently, lowered his head again and looked at the sword inserted into his heart.
When you wake up at the death, anyone wants to know how they die.
"Tiancongyun Sword." said the Orange Emperor.
“…”
It turned out to be the same as a way to die when he and Yue Du.
And it was killed by the same person.
"Sorry, Fangming." Emperor Ju held the hilt of the sword, as if he was going to pull it out, "Does it hurt?"
After not dying for a long time, Zong Gu finally looked at her and said, "When the Huiguang Spirit returns to the original body, it is also the time for the original body to usher in real death. Why haven't I died yet?"
Emperor Ju smiled, let go of the Tiancongyun Sword, and turned to stroke his face.
"Of course it's because I don't want Fang Ming to die."
"Does the teacher want me to be the master of the underworld?"
"Of course. In my heart, no one is more suitable to sit in this position than Fang Ming."
She looked at him, "Do Fangming still not want to?"
"From the beginning to the end, the teacher never considered my thoughts. The last time it was like this, and this time, I used this form to force me..."
Zong Gu held the sword inserted in his chest, "If I still say I don't want to, how will the teacher kill me this time?"
Emperor Ju did not think it was offensive, but smiled slightly.
"Fangming is still angry with me."
"I have no reason to be tolerant to this level."
Holding the sword blade tightly, Zong Gu tried to pull it out, and the Tiancongyun sword remained motionless.
"Even if it's just to survive, Fang Ming is unwilling to accept it?" Emperor Ju looked at him and asked.
“…”
Zong Gu didn't say anything.
He was unwilling to accept it, but he was unwilling to die just like this, and his life had just begun.
"If Fang Ming died like this, Ling would probably not be able to get out of the shadow of this matter for the next thousand or ten thousand years." Emperor Ju stroked the adopted daughter's head, "Ling will be immersed in the rest of her life.
In the pain of losing Fangming.”
Looking at Chao Wuling beside him, Zong Gu raised his palm and held it with her.
"sorry."
She looked at him, tears flowing from her calm face.
"I've been hiding it from you all the time."
There were so many thoughts and thousands of words, and there was no way to start at this time. Zong Gu shook his head.
He looked at Emperor Ju: "I have only the only choices left to accept the new Master of the Yellow Springs, or to die completely."
"No."
Emperor Ju put one hand on his shoulder and half holding Chao Wuling with the other, as if introducing his two most beloved children to others.
"I don't allow Fang Ming to die. There is actually only one choice."
Zong Gu remained silent.
His refusal to become a god is not just because of the momentary indignation caused by her deceiving.
Succession to become the Lord of the Yellow Springs also means that he has to shoulder all the responsibilities of the gods - for hundreds of millions of years, he will always be guarded in this dead and desolate land of that world and will not leave.
All his efforts so far are to completely get rid of the fate of being captured and returned to the underworld.
It's really ironic...
Born as a human being, he just wants to stay in the world.
Zong Gu was silent, and Emperor Ju stretched out a finger and pressed it against his eyebrows.
"Does Fangming think this place is too deserted and lonely, and prefer the prosperous world?"
Zong Gu was shocked, she was reading what he was thinking.
"It doesn't matter. When Fang Ming succeeds to become the master of Huangquan, you can transform it as much as you want. I can't think it's a problem to recreate the prosperity of the world in Huangquan."
He turned his head, but could not get rid of her fingertips.
"Will you feel lonely? It doesn't matter, Ling will stay here to accompany Fangming. It's not that I forced her. From the beginning, Ling was planning to do so."
Emperor Ju looked at him, "And, it's not just a bell."
With a backhand, a figure staggered out of the darkness and fell under the platform.
"Kyoko!"
Zong Gu was shocked and suddenly remembered that he was in a daze just now, and seemed to see her running towards him from a distance.
"Fangming..."
Kyoko struggled to stand up, and Emperor Yu looked back and she fell again.
"Stay with them."
She pointed to the side, and Kyoko was involuntarily pulled over and sat with the two sleeping on the ground.
"Yoshikawa classmate... Kirino classmate..."
Hongzi and Akane?
The three of them sat in a place he couldn't see. Zong Gu struggled to get up, but was nailed to the throne by the Tiancongyun Sword and could not move.
"Yin Xie is so beautiful!"
"I'm listening, Fangming."
"Let them go."
Emperor Ju looked at him: "So, Fangming is willing to agree?"
“…”
Zong Gu didn't say anything and took a deep breath.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not threatening Fangming with the safety of these children."
Emperor Orange walked back and forth in front of the throne of God, "I have carefully considered all the concerns when Fang Ming became a god in this year."
"I know Fangming is worried about these three children, so I will give them eternal life now."
After saying that, she pulled Kyoko, Hongko and Akane Kirino to the throne with one move.
“…”
Sonoya immediately realized her plan and glared, "Wait! Teacher!"
It's already late.
Emperor Ju raised his hand and clicked each of the three of them at the eyebrows.
The three of them fell down at the same time, and their rebirth was gone.
Immediately afterwards, the spirit bodies appeared one by one, and were "pushed" back into their bodies one by one.
"Only the Lord of Huangquan can have such power when he returns from the dead. When Fang Ming becomes a god, he can do this."
Emperor Ju turned around, "Now, they are like bells, and they will never grow old and die."
“…”
"Does Fangming want them to stay here with you, or do you want them to return to the world? I can agree."
Zong Gu trembled all over and looked at her coldly.
Emperor Ju walked forward again and pointed it on his forehead.
"Ah, Fangming wants to kill me."
He gritted his teeth: "You killed them."
"I've let them 'resurrection' again. Let their bodies be kept in the youthful and beautiful time forever. I think these children are happy."
Zong Gu didn't want to say much to her, and Emperor Ju didn't need him to speak to know what he was thinking.
"Fangming still wants to kill me, but he also resents himself to be powerless and just an ordinary person...ah."
She smiled as if she sighed.
"Since that's the case, why don't you just accept it? As long as you become the Lord of the Yellow Springs, Fang Ming can get the power to kill me."
Zong Gu closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Fangming is thinking, this is still my trap to lure you into a god."
Emperor Orange continued to read his thoughts.
"As long as Fang Ming becomes a god successfully, I will run away immediately? To be honest, I don't have such a plan. Death may not be a relief... But Fang Ming won't believe it, right?"
"Why isn't God's explanation? I have thought so too. Unfortunately, as the God of Creation, I can't kill myself."
"Why is Fangming necessary? Because Fangming is the most suitable plastic talent that the teacher has seen in thousands of years - I said that no one can compare to Fangming."
"But Fang Ming doesn't want to? Haha... Fang Ming should have understood a long time ago that not everything in this world can be as you wish."
"Then I should accept this too? No, people can accept their fate, and I am God, the God of Creation. They threw me into the underworld, and I insisted on destroying all this, making the underworld disorder and causing chaos!"
Realizing that his emotions were a little out of control, Emperor Ju quickly adjusted and stopped spy on what he was thinking.
She put down her hand and Zong Gu opened his eyes, looking much calmer than before.
"Can the teacher rise to the sky after I replace the teacher and become the master of Huangquan?"
Emperor Ju was a little stunned, "Fangming always says unexpected words. Why does Fangming feel this way?"
"Because everything the teacher did was like a little girl who wanted to get attention was losing her temper. Although she was doing something wrong, for the gods of Gao Tianyuan, it was probably not to be unforgivable... Otherwise, the teacher would be fine
Destroy the Japan you created by yourself."
Zong Gu looked at her, "The teacher did many evil things, but he always left room for anything, as if he was waiting for Gao Tianyuan to accept him again."
His smile quickly calmed down. Emperor Ju looked at him expressionlessly for a while, and suddenly sneered: "I did not see the wrong person."
Zong Gu pursed his lower lip.
"It's a pity that Gao Tianyuan has been completely closed and it's impossible to open it anymore. The last sentence they left to me was told by Fang Ming in person."
"What?"
"'The destiny of heaven is determined, the sword cannot move. I will never die if I receive the blade…' The prophecy left to Fang Ming by Zhi Lei's child's mouth is confirmed by Fang Ming himself."
Emperor Ju looked at him, "The last sentence that Fang Ming couldn't remember, I can tell you now: 'If you receive the blade, you will be in the underworld'."
He looked down at the sword inserted in his chest, "I think it's 'peace of life'."
Emperor Orange laughed.
Sonoya's expressionless face was unmoved, and Kyoko, who had been resurrected from the dead, woke up because of this.
"Fangming!…I…”
She was suddenly shocked, called him first, and then immediately noticed her own changes.
She felt her spirit.
“…”
There is only one possibility that the soul in her body can turn into a spiritual body - she is already dead.
But she did not die completely.
Just like Chaowuling.
Kyoko raised her gaze, and Soya on the throne looked at her silently, her eyes full of despair and guilt.
"Fangming..."
"Kyoko, shouldn't you be in the square now and prepare for the ritual of the priest of the gods?" said the Oritsu.
Kyoko now understands that this young woman she had met early on is Yoon Xie, the beauty of the Lord of the Yellow Springs.
This kind of uncertain change in life and death is probably because of her.
"That beautiful Lord Yin Xie..."
"Of course, if Yoshiaki doesn't accept it, Kyoko's ceremony will not start."
Emperor Jue came over and pulled her to Sonoya, "Kyoko, you should understand what you should do now."
“…”
Of course Kyoko understood.
What she wanted to do was to persuade Zong Gu to take the initiative to accept the ceremony of Qi Tian ascend to the gods and become the new Lord of the Yellow Springs.
The world will be reshaped from this, and the spiritual chaos in the world will end. This is their common ideal.
——As a price, he would guard the Yellow Spring here and would never be able to return to the world where he returned to peace under his own protection.
Both of them were silent, staring at each other without saying a word.
Emperor Ju stood aside and spoke at this time.
"Isn't it the lifelong wish of Yoshiaki and Kyoko to return to their original state and avoid the chaos of the world?
Of course, all the chaos began because of me. But Fangming should also understand that I cannot return to this place. You are the only one who can end it.
Become a god and save the world from me.
No one can replace Fang Ming. Only when you can make the decision can you achieve everything you want."
She paused for a moment, walked to the side of Soya, and looked at Kyoko in front of her with him.
"And, in Yoshimi's subconscious, isn't it Kyoko who always feels that he is most sorry for?
“…”
Kyoko raised her gaze.
"Fang Ming can never give her unique love. Now, does Fumiko still want Kyoko's greatest ideal in her life to fail?"
“…”
Zong Gu leaned on the throne in a daze, and suddenly, his whole body seemed to collapse.
After a long silence, he looked up at Kyoko.
She was looking at him, too.
"If Fangming chooses to become a god, I will stay here and stay with you forever. If Fangming chooses to refuse, I will die with you."
Zong Gu laughed for a moment, but seemed to be crying, and then shook his head.
"Feel sorry."
Kyoko opened her mouth, wondering which choice he made.
"I agreed."
Zong Gu turned his head and looked at Emperor Ju, "The condition is to send them all out of the underworld. This dead land is enough as long as I am alone."
"Fangming!"
Kyoko screamed in shock, fell to the ground towards Mizure, looking at the blood flowing all the way under the throne.
That was his blood.
“…”
He agreed.
Emperor Ju closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
After years of long-standing wishes finally came true, she found that she was not as ecstatic as she thought: "I promise Fangming."
Zong Gu put his hands on the throne, "Then let's start."
Puchi!
Emperor Ju pulls out the sword from his chest and “hold it with his right hand.”
Zong Gu touched the wound above his heart, and had blood stained with his hands, before taking the Tiancongyun Sword.
The mirror of the true scriptures and the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu stored in the body were also taken out, with the mirror on the left hand and the jade hanging on the chest.
"Three magical tools..."
"The three divine weapons are the keys to the change of gods. In conjunction with the ritual of the Qitian Divine Arrival in the square outside, it can attract Gao Tianyuan's divine fire." said Emperor Ju.
"So that's it. The teacher can let them start."
“It has begun.”
The ritual of the Kagura came faintly outside the hall, and a beam of light suddenly descended from the top of the dark hall, covering him.
Chao Wuling, who fell to the side, also had light coming out of her body.
"Don't care." said Emperor Ju, "I thought of letting Linglai become the successor a long time ago, so I tempered her spiritual body into a god... but I still can't bear to give up."
At this time, Zong Gu could no longer hear her words.
"ah--"
She didn't tell him that the deity would suffer from the burning of fire.
The tempering process lasted for more than ten minutes. When this process ended, Zong Gu, who was already seriously injured, had become dying between coma and awakening many times.
"It's going well." said Emperor Ju.
"Well..." Zong Gu was trapped in the throne of the gods and couldn't even raise his head.
"The next step is the last step-"
As the emperor said, his body was suspended, and he opened his mouth to spit out a condensed ball of light, and the eight divine powers in Zong Gu's body also poured out at the same time, constantly rotating around her, gradually integrating with the ball of light.
"Fangming just sat there..."
When she spit out the ball of light, she became extremely weak and sat in the corner of the platform.
"Fangming must take the initiative to absorb that divine power and let it temper your mortal body into a divine body. Under the witness of the eight million gods in Gaotianyuan, the moment when the divine body is tempered, that is, when Fangming takes over me and becomes the master of the Huangquan, the moment when the divine body is tempered, it is time for Fangming to replace me and become the master of the Huangquan.
.”
Zong Gu responded weakly, he could not move, and could only wait quietly for the floating divine power to approach him.
Floating over.
“…”
Chao Wuling also got up.
She took off the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu on his chest, hung it on her neck, and then took away the mirror of the true scriptures and the Tiancongyun Sword from his hand. She lowered her head and put the last kiss of her life on his lips.
"sorry."
"...No." Zong Gu instantly understood her plan, "Ring, no! Ring!"
"bell!"
Emperor Orange's eyes were bloodshot, "Let go!"
The next moment, the mass of divine power quickly expanded in front of Chao Wuling, swallowing her up.
