"Big Brother, I like you, I love you. I'm willing to spend all of my time with you in the future. Let me love you, alright? I'm serious. " Na'er's expression was very serious, so serious that even Atlas Douluo Yun Ming was a little stunned.
Tang Wulin's heart had been filled with despair, but at this moment, ripples began to well up in his heart. If there were any women in his heart who were the most important to him, then it would be his mother, Na'er, and herself.
However, never would he have thought that she would say something like this to him during this Sea God Fate Match-making Convention.
"Na'er, you're my little sister!"
"No, I'm not. I'm just your Na 'er. We're not related by blood. I'm just your Na' er. I don't want to be your sister anymore. I only want to be your Na 'er," she stubbornly said.
Tang Wulin's body was trembling slightly.
"Time's up, Na'er. For the sake of fairness, I can't let you say anything else," Tang Yinmeng said in a resigned manner.
Tang Wulin had once sworn a vow to never let Na'er cry again, but never would he have thought that he would be the one making her cry.
Why are you so silly, Na'er?
However, for some reason, there was an indescribable feeling in the depths of his heart. It was just as Na'er had said; they weren't biological siblings, after all. Na'er was a little sister that he had picked up from the streets and taken care of with all his heart.
Na'er suddenly raised her head and looked at Tang Wulin with a scorching gaze. "If I hadn't left back then, there would've been no one else in your heart."
"Please make your choice, Junior Disciple Brother Wulin," Lan Muzi urged in a low voice.
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, and it was as if all of the power in his body had been drawn upon in that instant.
He asked himself, and the answer was very clear. He didn't want to hurt Na'er, but he didn't want to lie to her even more. Besides, everything was so complicated, and he didn't want to give up on this opportunity, even if it appeared to be very slim.
"I'm sorry, Na'er. I choose Girl Number 17! "Tang Wulin had virtually exhausted all of his power as he spoke.
…
The moment Tang Wulin said those words, the blood drained from Na'er's beautiful face. She subconsciously took a step back. Half of her foot was in the water, and her body swayed a little before she could regain control of her body.
Lan Muzi gulped before turning to Girl Number 17, and said, "According to the rules, you have to remove your veil now. Then listen to his confession for a minute. "
Number 17 paused for a moment before slowly raising her hands to take off the veil on her head.
It was a pale face, black hair, and black eyes. Compared to Dai Yun 'er and Na' er, she wasn't outstanding at all. In fact, she was completely overshadowed by the radiance of the two women beside her.
Her face was already filled with uncontrollable tears. She looked at him, her lips trembling slightly.
Tang Wulin smiled. Looking at the tears on her face, he smiled. She was not heartless to him. But when he saw those tears, he suddenly felt that everything was worth it.
"You should've chosen her." Gu Yue turned her head and looked in Na'er's direction.
Na'er didn't say anything.
Gu Yue then said something completely inexplicable. "I don't want to win."
A faint smile appeared on Na'er's pale face, and she puffed out her chest as she turned to Gu Yue with a haughty expression. "There are some things that are beyond your control."
Gu Yue closed her eyes, and tears began to flow from her eyes again. "But do you know how heavy a price he'll have to pay? Do you know how difficult it will be for us in the future? "
Na'er replied in a firm voice, "I don't care. I just hope that I can give myself to him completely. "
…
"It's your turn, Wulin. You have one minute."
Tang Wulin shook his head before turning to Gu Yue. "I don't need a minute; I only need to ask her one question."
"Gu Yue, I've only ever loved one woman in this world, and that's you. Do you love me? "
He had so many things he wanted to say to her, but now that he was faced with it, he could only say one thing. That was all he needed. What he needed was an answer, an answer that would make him give up everything, or an answer that would lead him to another world.
He raised his right hand and flipped his palm over. Dazzling golden scales spread from his wrist to his entire palm, and a pair of golden claws appeared. He clasped his fingers together and pointed them at the top of his head.
An indescribably dense blood energy fluctuation abruptly erupted from his body, and in the instant that this powerful bloodline aura appeared, all of the dragon-type Soul Masters present let out a muffled groan as their faces paled. Even Long Yue was no exception.
"Big Brother, don't!" Na'er screamed, but she didn't dare to move. She could clearly see the golden light emanating from Jinlong's claws. If Tang Wulin lowered his hand, he would be able to crush his head.
"I just need to know the answer. The answer in your heart, the answer that's real. Don't lie to me. I can tell from your eyes and your blood whether you're telling the truth or not. "
Gu Yue stared blankly at him, her tears no longer flowing.
Suddenly, she seemed to break down. She nodded her head vigorously, and the tears that she had just stopped flowed down. She couldn't help but squat down on the lotus leaf. She couldn't say anything. She just nodded, and nodded her head vigorously.
Tang Wulin smiled proudly. He lowered his right hand and took a step forward. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of her.
He pulled her up from the lotus leaf and pulled her into his arms.
… …
The Sea God's Lake in the early morning had a mysterious beauty. Mist filled the air, and blue waves rippled.
She had been standing by the lake for a long time. Her shoulders were soaked with dew, but she showed no intention of brushing them off.
Her silver hair rippled in the morning breeze. She gazed at the mist in the distance like a fairy.
Her large purple eyes reflected the lake water, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
Her other self silently walked over and stood beside her. Her black hair billowed in the wind, and her face was glowing. There was a faint blush on her face.
However, when her other self caught sight of her, the smile on her face disappeared.
They stood side by side, and both of them were staring at the clear lake water.
"You won!" Na'er said in a light and relaxed voice.
"You seem to really want me to win." Gu Yue's brows furrowed tightly.
Na'er chuckled. "That's right! I actually really wanted you to win, and I already knew that you would win. I know his personality too well. Do you believe me? I only exist as an interlude. I think he only wooed me so that he could find a suitable reason to leave. "
"He'll be sad if you leave," Gu Yue said.
Na'er shook her head in a self-deprecating manner. "I lost, so how could I not leave? However, I knew from the very beginning that I would lose. I had to lose. Otherwise, he really would die. Am I right? "
Gu Yue fell silent.
Na'er sighed. "Back then, when we made the bet, I resolutely chose to bet with you because I knew that you only wanted to find a pretext to kill him. However, you didn't want to reveal any flaws in your heart. I had no choice but to agree to your bet. If I hadn't, you would've killed him without any hesitation, even if there were any flaws in your heart. "
"Are you regretting it now?" Na'er asked.
Gu Yue was a little dazed. "Do I? I don't know. "She really didn't know whether she regretted it or not.
Na'er said, "If you didn't want this to happen, you wouldn't have established a method to integrate yourself into the human world. Reality has proven that your decision was correct. Only by understanding humans can we truly find a way to destroy them. However, we've discovered that humans aren't completely useless. At the very least, we don't possess the richness of human emotions. That's why I was born. When you were young, you had no choice but to seal yourself away in order to truly resemble a human. Only then could you truly integrate into human society. As a result, a part of your soul that belonged to a human was born.
"When you discovered that human emotions could no longer be controlled, it became impossible to forcibly remove me. That would've greatly harmed you. And all of this is related to my brother. It's because of the warmth and love my brother brought to me. It made me understand what human emotions are. "
"In desperation, you separated me from your body and formed an independent entity. However, no matter what, I'm still a part of you. In the end, we're still one. So, you made a bet with me. You bet whether my brother would fall in love with you, and whether he would abandon me for you. If you won, it would prove that human emotions are fake, and I would naturally merge back into you. If you lost, you said that if you lost, I would forever be an independent entity. Isn't that right? Unfortunately, I have your intelligence and human emotions. It only took me a few years to understand that it was impossible. I possess a full 30% of your strength. If I were to become independent in the end, then you wouldn't be you anymore. So, you couldn't abandon me. The only difference was that there wouldn't be a next time, and I would still be flawed. So, if you lost, you would've definitely killed my brother and forcefully merged back into me. Am I right? "
Gu Yue looked at Na'er. As she listened to her words, her face paled slightly.
"Gu Yue, do you know? I was willing to make a bet with you because you don't understand human emotions at all. You think that my relationship with my brother is what you think it is, but you're wrong. We're more like family. Perhaps I'm not completely like that to him, but at the very least, he's like that to me. But what he feels for you isn't like family, but love.
"Love and family are completely different. So, he never gave up on me, nor did he betray me. Even though he chose you, I lost. Therefore, I lost, but you didn't get the result you wanted. So, it's really hard to say who lost. "
Gu Yue looked deeply at her. "Do you really think that I don't know what you're planning?"
Na'er smiled. "Of course you know. How could someone as smart as you not see it? When you tried to distance yourself from my brother, it was because you felt that your own emotions were being affected. Unfortunately, love is a subtle process. By the time you realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. That's because he's already taken up residence in your heart. So, you've always been trying to break free from him, trying to suppress him. But the more time passes, the more he takes root in your heart.
"Gu Yue, have you realized that regardless of whether it's a soul beast or a divine beast, we're all too simple in nature? Once we come into contact with human emotions, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how vast your spiritual power is, you won't be able to stop the attacks of your emotions. They're formless and intangible, but they're real. "
Gu Yue said bitterly, "Do you think that he won't still be alive? Do you really think so? "
Na'er sighed. "At the very least, this will allow him to live longer. Once he's strong enough, I believe that no one will be able to kill him in the future as long as you can't do anything to him. Gu Yue, face your own emotions. Hatred will only blind you. "
Gu Yue suddenly flared up. "You're really acting like a human right now."
Na'er smiled. "I've always been a human! I've always thought that way. That's why I don't want to destroy the human race. I want to see peace and harmony. I love my brother, I love our parents, and I love the human world. I love human emotions. You've won, but you've also lost. But I really hope that you'll have a good ending in the future. No, I hope that all of you will have a good ending. "
Gu Yue's breathing quickened. "Do you really think I can't make up my mind to kill him?"
Na'er shook her head. "Of course you can't. You can't. Even without me, you still can't. Otherwise, why would you wait until now? Since when did someone as decisive as you become so hesitant? When you hesitated for the first time, perhaps you still had a chance. But after hesitating for the third time, you won't be able to do anything to him anymore. I'm well aware of this, and I'm sure you're also well aware of this. After you fuse with me, you'll be me, and I'll be you. You'll only be affected even more. You won't be able to make up your mind. Love him well. My brother is really, really outstanding. Even though we don't know where his King Jinlong bloodline came from, we have to admit that in the human world, he's the only one who's worthy of us. "Gu Yue's face fell.
Gu Yue's face was filled with dejection. "The biggest mistake I made was the bet I made with you. Or rather, I shouldn't have separated you from me. At least that way, I could have subtly influenced you back.
"You lost, and so did I. You're right. I can't do it. I can't kill him. So I can only leave him and let time and distance fade our love for each other. Perhaps only then will I be able to kill him by accident one day. Or perhaps he'll grow fast enough to kill me one day. You understand that the conflict between us is irreconcilable. This is a conflict between humans and soul beasts, and also a conflict between gods and divine beasts. Neither he nor I can resolve this conflict. "
Na 'er fell silent. Finally, she began to panic. "But if I leave, and you leave too, he'll be sad."
Gu Yue shuddered. "That's still better than me being by his side. My subordinates won't be able to control themselves and kill him. Right now, I'm still far from fully emerging from the seal. My core has already awakened, but you know how powerful my subordinates are. Some of them should have become divine beasts long ago. Even now, I can't completely suppress them. That's why I'm destined to leave. "
Na 'er bit her lower lip. "Perhaps you're right. Gu Yue, you've really changed. You've become more considerate of others, especially him. I understand now. You're leaving to give him more room to grow. You're hoping that one day, he'll become so strong that you won't be able to kill him. But you know that it's impossible. The Divine Realm no longer exists. He will never be able to reach your level. "
Gu Yue smiled. "You understand, but you don't. You don't know what kind of place he is in my heart. You also don't understand just how much of me belongs to the human race. You're right, I regret it. I regret giving the order to integrate into the human world. However, I still have to carry out my mission, but I don't want to hurt someone I don't want to hurt. So, I'll face this conflict alone. I don't know what to do, but I have to move forward. Come back, Na 'er. From today onward, I'm no longer Gu Yue. My name can finally be complete. But he doesn't know that my name is Gu Yuena! "
Specks of light flashed, and Gu Yue's body suddenly became transparent. An invisible barrier rose up from the hexagram beneath her feet, enveloping them within.
If someone were nearby, they would discover that there were no energy fluctuations seeping out from within the silvery-white world.
Na 'er's body had also become translucent. She walked toward Gu Yue step by step, tears streaming down her face.
"I'm a little reluctant to leave everything behind. I'm reluctant to leave the people around me, I'm reluctant to leave Teacher, and I'm reluctant to leave Big Brother!"
Gu Yue sighed. "But you should know that no matter how reluctant I am, you don't have an essence, so you're destined to come back. Otherwise, you'll disappear into thin air. You said that after you return, you'll be me, and I'll be you. I'll let go of everything. Seeing as the flaw has already become a crack, then let's accept this crack together. Perhaps everything will be different then. "
The silvery-white figures overlapped, and Na 'er and Gu Yue spread open their arms. The two figures began to slowly fuse together. Gu Yue's black hair disappeared, and her black eyes turned purple. Na 'er's childish nature disappeared, and she was slowly growing up.
When the two of them had become identical, and they had transformed into the Dragon Spear Goddess who was three years older than her, silver light suddenly flashed, and they disappeared from the Sea God's Lake.
… …
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were completely entranced upon seeing this. Even though the images before their eyes were fragmented, they were able to see the love between Jinlong Yue Tang Wulin and Silver Dragon Gu Yuena from 10,000 years ago. Even though they had all heard of these legends, it was still quite a special feeling to see these images being reenacted. Especially since this was the story of their parents!
In particular, when he saw his mother fuse into Gu Yuena for two people, one of whom was Nana, and the other was Gu Yue, Lan Xuanyu was already on the verge of bursting into tears.
He had already heard about how difficult it had been for his parents, but he didn't understand everything at the time. The only ones who truly understood were Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena.
He finally understood why his father had been so willing when his mother had asked him to pursue her again. His mother had done so much for his father in secret. For the sake of this love, she was even willing to give up her mission. Everything from 10,000 years ago was so clear, and it was sad, but also beautiful.
The images were still changing, and on this occasion, Lan Xuanyu's breathing began to accelerate. This was because he had discovered something. When this image appeared, both of his parents had already donned their suits of battle armor, and they were facing one another with their dragon spears pointed at one another!
