"Brother Gu Lu." Nangong Cheng's voice sank. Looking at Zhonggu Lu whose aura was growing weaker and weaker, he clenched his fists tightly.
Zhu Yao's heart rose as well. Though Zhonggu Lu had avoided the center of the Cob Cannon and was not hit directly, with such a huge impact from the explosion of five Cob Cannons at the same time, it was already a miracle that Zhonggu Lu was still alive.
However, his inner core had already been shattered, his primordial spirit had already dispersed, and even his soul was faintly showing signs of leaving his body. His injuries were extremely severe, and even if everyone exhausted their celestial core power, they wouldn't be able to save him, let alone in a situation where they couldn't use celestial power.
"Yue Ying …" Zhu Yao looked at the expressionless Yue Ying at the side. After a closer look, the corner of his brows had indeed sunk a little. "Do you have any ideas?" Right now, she could only rely on him.
Yue Ying raised his head and glanced at her. He then looked at Zhonggu Lu who was gasping for breath with only his upper body remaining. A moment later, he solemnly said. "There's only one way."
"What?" Nangong Cheng immediately turned to look at him, and his eyes instantly lit up. He reached out to grab his hand excitedly. "Daoist Friend Yue, you have a way to save him, really?"
Yue Ying frowned, and immediately dodged it. After glaring at him for a moment, he then continued to look at Zhu Yao and said. "The Flower Deity's body is weak. Now that his Primordial Spirit has dispersed, and his Inner Core has been destroyed, his soul will leave his body in less than fifteen minutes. Unless … "
"Unless what?" Zhu Yao asked.
A trace of hesitation flashed across his face, and his expression became somewhat apprehensive. A moment later, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Unless, he follows me and becomes a demon."
"Bedevilment!" Everyone was stunned. Even Nangong Cheng had a look of surprise on his face. He said almost reflexively, "No! He's an immortal … How can he … "
"Then I can't help him either." Yue Ying immediately stood up, and returned to stand behind Zhu Yao, looking as though he did not care about this at all.
Nangong Cheng glanced at the dying Zhonggu Lu on the ground, his fists clenched even tighter. That's right. If he was demonized, Zhonggu Lu could indeed immediately recover under the assistance of devillic energy. But the Devil Race had always been cruel and murderous. A synonym for evil. The nature of the demon race was to commit all kinds of crimes. They were the public enemies of the Three Realms, be it demons or humans. He did not have the slightest favorable impression of the demon race. Although no one had seen it before, it was an innate sense of disgust that seemed to be imprinted in their blood.
Although | Yue Yin was of the Devil Race, they had indeed seen the Devil Qi that he released. However, he had been helping them along the way, so from the bottom of his heart, he did not see him as an unscrupulous evil demon. But now, he heard that his good friend was about to become a demon. Only then did he truly realize the difference between them. Bedevilment! That meant that Zhonggu Lu would stand against him. Not to mention, devilish energy had always been the darkest thing in the world. He did not dare to imagine if Zhonggu Lu would still be his original self after becoming a Devil.
"There's not much time left." Yue Ying reminded. Zhonggu Lu's aura on the ground had weakened by quite a bit.
Nangong Cheng clenched his fists so tightly that his palms began to bleed. His heart was in a mess. "Maybe … Maybe he can be like Mei Xue …"
His eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Yes, that's right! He could become a god. Just like Macy just now. She could pass through the Light of Guidance even though she was only left with her soul, so Brother Gu Lu would definitely be able to as well. I will bring him over right now. "As he said that, he immediately crouched down and carried Zhonggu Lu up.
"Wait a minute!" Zhu Yao took a step to the side and blocked his way.
"Dongfang girly!" Nangong Cheng grew anxious and solemnly said. "If there's anything, we can talk about it after Brother Gu Lu becomes a God."
"If I were you, I wouldn't do that? It's best if we don't approach this Light of Guidance. "Zhu Yao raised her head and looked at the light." Becoming a God … might not necessarily be a good thing. "
"What do you mean?" Not just Nangong Cheng, everyone else looked towards Zhu Yao. Wasn't their goal in coming here to become a God?
"Yu Yao …" Yu Yan took a step forward and looked towards his own disciple. He looked at his disciple. "Did you discover something?"
Zhu Yao was silent for a moment, before solemnly saying. "I feel … that we might not be able to enter the Realm of Gods from here. Or should I say, I suspect … that this world … really has a Realm of Gods? "
Nangong Cheng was stunned. "Dongfang girly, what did you say? Isn't this the Light of Guidance of the Realm of Gods? "
"This is indeed the Light of Guidance, but who can be sure that it can guide Deities into the Realm of Gods?"
"…"
"I wish to ask all of you a question." Zhu Yao pointed to her surroundings. "Just what kind of place is the Realm of Gods? What are Gods like? Has anyone seen them before? Deities live as long as the heavens and earth. Which of them did not live for hundreds of thousands of years before they could enter the tower? But after so many years … Why has no one ever seen the so-called Gods? And everything regarding the God Race is merely a legend. "
"This is the law of the Heavenly Dao." Nangong Cheng guessed. "Just like how the people of the Divine Realm cannot casually descend to the Lower Realm. Most probably, the people of the Realm of Gods cannot come to the Divine Realm either, right? "
"Even so, the Lightning Divine Tower has existed for so many years, and this Light of Guidance has always been here, and has never been closed. Is there really not a single God who is curious enough to come down and take a look? "
"How can the law of the Heavenly Dao be broken so easily?" Nangong Cheng said.
"You're saying that Gods cannot be placed above the Heavenly Dao? Or are they still restricted by it? "
"I … I guess so."
"Alright, since that's the case." Zhu Yao seriously looked at the crowd. "Then why are we still ascending to God?"
"…"
"We're Deities. We possess eternal life and unparalleled mystic powers. Other than the Heavenly Dao, is there anything that Deities cannot do? If the people of the God Realm are merely living beings under the Heavenly Dao, then what's the difference between the Divine Realm and the God Realm? "Zhu Yao continued to analyze." Actually, I've never understood. If becoming a Deity is for longevity, then what's the purpose of becoming a God? Why do all Deities take pride in entering the Lightning Divine Tower? Why do all Deities wish to become Gods? What's the meaning of becoming a God? Have you ever thought about it? "
In an instant, the three of them were stunned. Including Yu Yan at the side, he had a blank look as well.
"Nangong Huang, tell me, why do we have to enter the tower?"
"Back then, it was for …" Halfway through his words, he once again blanked, and his entire body was suddenly drenched in cold sweat. Because he suddenly realized that there was really no reason for him to become a God. It was as if becoming a God was an instinct. The higher his cultivation level, the more he would naturally want to become a God. Not just him, everyone in the Divine Realm was the same. No one had ever thought about the reason behind it. Why was it like this?
If becoming a Deity was for longevity, then what was the purpose of becoming a God? Could it be that it was purely for the sake of increasing one's cultivation level? However, ever since they entered the tower, their cultivation levels did not increase by much. Especially when they reached the final floor, they could not even use any of their divine energy, let alone cultivate. It was said that the people of the God Realm had grasped the laws of the Heavenly Dao, and were able to manipulate the mysteries of the heavens. However, even after such a long time, no one had ever seen a true God. If they were truly able to grasp the laws of the Heavenly Dao, why weren't there any in the Lower Realm?
Thinking about it carefully, the three of them could not help but begin to break out in cold sweat.
Zhu Yao was a little shocked as well. Previously, she merely had a faint guess, but the deeper she thought about it, the more terrifying she felt. The so-called Lightning Divine Tower, the so-called ascension to the God Realm, seemed to be a huge scam. All the Deities seemed to have been set up from the very beginning. As long as their cultivation level reached a certain level, they would enter the tower.
However, thinking about it, there were countless checkpoints and difficulties along the way, and a single misstep would cost them their lives. Everyone knew that they would be able to become Gods once they cleared the checkpoints, but as for the benefits of becoming a God, no one knew. Deities possessed endless lifespans in the first place, so what if they could not become Gods? The God Race did not seem to care about the Divine Realm either, so why did everyone have nothing better to do and come here to seek death?
There seemed to be an invisible hand pushing everyone from the back, a hand called the "Heavenly Dao".
For some reason, after hearing Zhu Yao's words, the desire to become a God in the depths of Nangong Cheng's heart was suddenly extinguished. However …
"What about Zhonglu?"
"Nangong Huang …" Zhu Yao solemnly said. "No matter if it's becoming a Devil or a God, I will not object to it. However, you have to think this through. No one knows what the God Realm is like, but the Devil race … "She turned to look at Yue Ying." At the very least, you've seen it for yourself. "
Nangong Cheng lowered his head to look at his good friend in his embrace. Zhonglu's aura was already indiscernible. Gritting his teeth, he raised his head to look at the snow-white Light of Guidance, and softly cursed. "Dongfang girly, I know you're doing this for our own good. However, my goal here is to become a God. No matter what lies ahead, we all wish to give it a try. " He took a deep breath. "Since the Heavenly Dao is as such, I do not wish to resist."
The hell! Zhu Yao wanted to curse out! How was this any different from choosing a dog?
"You saw Mei Xue's appearance earlier as well?" Zhu Yao took a step forward. "She clearly doesn't look like she's going to become a God. Just what use does this Light of Guidance have, and what consequences it will bring, no one knows. In fact, it's not even clear if she'll truly reach the God Realm. Are you really going to take this risk? "
"Dongfang girly …" Nangong Cheng turned to look at her. His usual comical look was completely gone, and he had turned incomparably stern and serious. However, a hint of guilt was hidden in his eyes. "If I'm alone, I will definitely believe you without any hesitation, and I will also believe Daoist Yue Ying. Even if I become a Devil, it's nothing. However, brother Zhonglu … I know his personality the best. He's a Flower Deity born from the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth. His heart is pure, but not tough enough. If he becomes a Devil, he definitely won't be able to maintain his rationality like Yue Ying. He might not even be able to recognize me, and he might do something irreversible. Rather than that … I might as well follow the Heavenly Dao. "
"…" Zhu Yao sank into silence. Indeed, becoming a Devil was equivalent to stimulating all the evil thoughts in the depths of one's heart, and infinitely magnifying them. Yue Ying was born as a God, which was why he was able to suppress his nature as a Devil, and was willing to change. However, just because he was able to do it, it did not mean that Zhonglu could do it as well.
Nangong Cheng did not explain any further. He immediately carried Zhonglu and walked towards the Light of Guidance.
