The Milky Way flowed in reverse, and the concept of time was lost. Li Qingshan couldn't even tell whether it was a second or a day. However, the joy that came from Gu Yanying's heart never changed, making him admire her … craziness …
"This woman is just pretending to be a normal person. I've lived two lives, and I was almost fooled by her."
His spiritual power continued to dissipate, first weakening, then weakening, and finally almost exhausted.
Death approached step by step. However, in this endless galaxy, it seemed to have become some kind of empty concept, causing one to be unable to feel actual fear. Instead, there was an even deeper emptiness that filled one's heart bit by bit.
Perhaps Gu Yanying's guess was right, but when the Roc feather searched for the next place of inheritance, it probably wouldn't consider the life and death of the two little insects attached to the feather.
"To be able to die in such a magnificent scenery, my life won't be in vain, but I still can't accept it!"
"Qingshan, don't worry, this is a test."
Gu Yanying transmitted her thoughts, and the joy contained in her thoughts increased.
"Is that so?"
Li Qingshan noticed that although she had also become very weak, her condition was a little better than his. The difference in strength between them wasn't particularly big, but it wasn't small either. She should have been even weaker, unless there was some other opportunity.
And this opportunity was probably the Roc feather.
"I can feel it, it likes me!"
Gu Yanying didn't hide the pride in her heart, as if there was some kind of compatibility between their temperaments. She felt that the Roc feather approved of her, and a trace of connection was established between them. Although she hadn't yet obtained the inheritance. She believed that as long as she had enough time, she would definitely be able to go further.
"I hope it's not 'I like you to death'." Li Qingshan made a cold joke.
"Haha, I, Gu Yanying, have a heart in the Nine Heavens, and I will definitely soar. How can I die in this place!" Gu Yanying was in high spirits, full of incomparable confidence.
Li Qingshan rolled his eyes, but felt a sense of deja vu.
Bang! The starry river that filled the sky scattered, as if it had collided with something extremely hard. Then, it was instantly pierced through. The Kun Peng transformed from the feather disappeared. A whole world came crashing down on him!
Li Qingshan was overjoyed. Just as he was about to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and activate his innate ability, he suddenly felt the whole world closing in on him. Invisible shackles extended into his divine soul. He was firmly imprisoned.
Suddenly, he remembered the Laws of the worlds. "Not good!"
Boom!
With an earth-shattering noise, everything fell into complete darkness.
After an unknown period of time, Li Qingshan slowly woke up. Between the towering cliffs, the stars were shining brightly. He finally calmed down. He wanted to stand up, but he felt intense pain all over his body, and he couldn't move. He didn't know how many bones were broken, and even his meridians and body were severely damaged.
In his arms was a warm body. Gu Yanying laid motionlessly on his chest. However, compared to his sorry state, she seemed to be in a much better state. Other than her slightly messy hair, her body was almost spotless. She was so quiet as if she had fallen into a deep sleep. What was even more infuriating was that there was a hint of a smile on her lips. It was obvious that the Kun Peng feather had protected her.
Li Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief. Even such a slight movement caused his internal organs to tremble. He simply laid there quietly, waiting for his injuries to recover.
However, he immediately realized that his injuries weren't healing very quickly. He couldn't use any of his innate abilities, let alone other methods. Even the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was rejecting him. There was clearly nothing around him, but he could clearly feel a deep and enormous hostility. That was the hostility of the entire world!
Just as he was about to focus his thoughts and understand his current situation, a pain that was thousands of times more intense than the pain on his body came from Gu Yanying. He wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of pain. It was the Hot Wind Hell.
As expected, the pain of hell followed him like a shadow. Once he left the void, the hot wind began to surge again.
Gu Yanying frowned. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She opened her bright eyes and smiled. "Morning!"
"Can I trouble you to get up from my body?" Li Qingshan asked.
"What, are you hurt?" Gu Yanying didn't have any intention of obeying.
"Obviously."
"Very good." Gu Yanying smiled brightly. "I will take care of you because I am unharmed!" He jumped up, but the soil under his feet suddenly collapsed. He missed a step and fell to the ground again. His head happened to hit a rock with a bang.
"Hahahaha!" Li Qingshan didn't care about the pain on his body and laughed loudly. He had never seen her in such a sorry state before.
"I understand now!" Gu Yanying sat up. Her previously spotless face was now covered in dirt.
"Understand what?"
"This is a small world!"
"Tsk, I already knew that."
"Then do you know why I fell?" Gu Yanying said as blood trickled down from her head.
"Pfft, it's because our power is suppressed by this world! However, our luck isn't bad. This world is small enough. Not only is our power insufficient, our willpower is also very weak. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that we used up all of our power in the void. Otherwise, we would be struck by lightning and die. Hmm, you better bandage your head. Dying from excessive blood loss is too laughable. "
"You're right, but it's not luck. From now on, we don't have any more luck to talk about!"
Gu Yanying tried to tear off a piece of her sleeve. However, this transcendent magical robe of hers was too tough. Even if the power of all her magic was suppressed, the material of the robe wasn't something she could move at her current level. She thought of something and pinched the Roc feather. She cut a long white cloth on her sleeve and wiped the blood off her face. Then, she wrapped it around her head.
"You look like your father died," Li Qingshan commented.
"If my father was in this world, I'm afraid he would have been killed by me. If he was a mortal, I would have killed him. If he was a mortal, I know my power has been sealed. Just Now, although I'm a little carried away, I'm still looking at where I'm standing. However, the place I stepped on just had to be an empty hole. When I tried to adjust my body, there was a rock buried under the soil. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? It's practically a flawless trap. "
"In other words, although this world doesn't have the ability to directly kill us, it wants to do so very much, so we'll be very unlucky?" Li Qingshan seemed to understand something. He roused. "Now, I have a title for you — the Unlucky Ghost of Hell!"
Gu Yanying fell silent. "I'm a little cold."
"Look, your Scorching Wind Hell is still working, but at the same time, you're so unlucky …"
"Please don't say anymore. I'll catch a cold." Gu Yanying covered his mouth with her hand. "You don't seem too happy."
"Do you think I should be happy? You've won the bet, and it's a very big one at that. However, I feel more and more like I shouldn't have come! "Li Qingshan gazed at the stars with his pitch-black eyes. He actually seemed rather melancholic.
"You should be happy, but because you already have something to worry about, you're unhappy." Gu Yanying touched his forehead. Her face blocked his line of sight.
Li Qingshan was in thought. He had once abandoned Crouching Ox village without the slightest hesitation, swearing that he would never return. To the current him, was the nine provinces more worthy of nostalgia than Crouching Ox village?
He had once made up his mind to go to places he had never been to, to see sights he had never seen before, and to conquer the most powerful enemies. This place was not as lofty as the Nine Heavens, but was it not a brand-new world? The enemies he faced were even the "heavens".
Even though he was heavily injured, his fighting spirit should have been high, and he should have embarked on new adventures in high spirits, not reminisce about the nine provinces.
"I know I can't replace Little Ann's position in your heart, nor do I plan on replacing him. However, I will do everything I can to help you, all the way until the day you reunite. I've sworn an oath!"
"You sly woman. Do you think I can't tell?!"
There seemed to be nothing wrong with this oath. As a matter of fact, it really was "poison" to her. This was not as simple as rolling around in bed. It was a change of path, an agreement of alliance, and a path of cultivation.
However, to him, this was equivalent to giving up on searching for Little Ann. How was it possible for her to replace Little Ann's position?
"Heh, so you've found out! However, you should be able to understand me. If there are too many worries, I won't be able to advance bravely! "
Gu Yanying pulled Li Qingshan's arms and carried him on her back. She carefully and strenuously crawled out of the pit.
Li Qingshan was momentarily speechless. Although he really wanted to say something hot-blooded like "it's precisely because I have worries that I can advance bravely", he knew very well that his perseverance was not because of a certain person.
Brother Ox naturally understood this, and so did Little Ann. That was why in the Clam King of Mirage Sea's dream, even if he had forgotten everything, he still continued to walk.
Otherwise, wouldn't his relationship with Han Qiongzhi, his friendship with the Banyan Tree King, and his father-son relationship with Li Fengyuan also be a kind of worry?
She sighed. "A heartless person like you is truly detestable."
"Ha, the same goes for you. Sigh, it's really too heavy. Carrying a person is like carrying a mountain! "
Gu Yanying's forehead was covered in sweat and she panted heavily. She glanced back meaningfully.
"Even Scorching Wind Hell can't be used?" Li Qingshan asked.
"Yes, only the punishment has been retained." Gu Yanying climbed out of the pit with great difficulty and gently placed him on the ground. Her hands were covered in blood as she frowned and said, "We must think of a way to heal your wounds, or it'll probably continue to worsen. We're too unpopular in this world!"
Before she had even finished speaking, a dull rumble echoed through the valley. Cracks rapidly spread across the cliffs on both sides.
"Uh …"
This could be said to be the effect of the collision Just Now had caused, but they could clearly sense the existence of heaven's will and deep malice.
Boom!
The entire cliff collapsed, turning into a torrent of rock and earth that surged into the valley.
"It looks like I've still lost the gamble!"
Gu Yanying smiled bitterly. In their current state, being buried by a million tons of rock and earth would only lead to death.
"Aren't we going to run?" Li Qingshan looked at a nearby col.
"Forget it. I didn't ask to be born in the same year and month, but I ask to die in the same year and month."
Gu Yanying shook her head helplessly and sat down next to him. She looked at the incoming dust, but she showed no regret.
