Killer
Within Ye Zichen's sea of consciousness.
"Does this count as a success?"
Ye Zichen glanced at Gu Zichen, then pointed at Yang Jian, whose back was glowing with starlight.
"Not really." Gu Zichen said coldly. "He's lucky to be able to attract stars a second time. However, when people are on the verge of death, they tend to regret their past regrets. It's very likely that he guessed that it was an opportunity for him, but he didn't take it, so he was very distressed … But I didn't expect this star to be so stubborn and give him another chance. "
"That's great."
When he heard that, Ye Zichen took a deep breath. When he saw Yang Jian explode into a bloody mist, his heart leapt to his throat.
Fortunately, this star appeared at the most crucial moment.
Gu Zichen snorted disdainfully at Ye Zichen.
"Don't think too highly of everything. Some stars need to be tested before they can be inherited. Yang Jian's star is one such example."
Gu Zichen didn't know why he was saying such discouraging things. Perhaps it was because Ye Zichen had lectured him earlier, and he was still upset.
"Stars still need to be tested?"
Ye Zichen ignored his deliberate actions. Instead, his heart was filled with confusion.
Fatty Yin, Liu 'er, and the others had also inherited the stars. Su Yan and the others also had Fated Stars, but none of them had ever taken the test of the stars.
Gu Zichen glanced at him and knew he was confused.
Even though she was unhappy with him, she still explained it to him carefully.
"Do you think it's over after the Emperor Star's Auxiliary Stars descend? The Emperor Star's Four Great Auxiliary Stars don't need to be tested. That's because they have extreme confidence in their own choices. They know very well that this is the person they want to descend to. The person whose Fated Star blocked the tribulation for the Emperor Star didn't need to choose. Since the other Auxiliary Stars were not important, they would follow the Emperor Star's landing point and determine who it was. However, there is one type of Auxiliary Star that is very special. It requires a choice! "
Ye Zichen listened attentively without interrupting. This was new to him, and as the Emperor Star, he needed to understand this.
It was just that he couldn't take notes in his sea of consciousness. Otherwise, he might have made some important points.
"This type of Auxiliary Star is still responsible for assisting the Emperor Star in ascending, but they won't always be by the Emperor Star's side. They will only appear when the Emperor Star needs them. Most of them were hidden in the galaxy, living under the protection of the stars. They were very inconspicuous, but they all contained extraordinary power. Due to their uniqueness, they also need to choose a suitable successor. "
"This is Yang Jian's star?" Ye Zichen arched his brows.
"That's right." Gu Zichen nodded.
"Then do you know what his star is?" asked Ye Zichen.
Gu Zichen paused for a moment, then his gaze filled with nostalgia.
"If the trajectory is correct, his falling star should be … Nameless Killing Star!"
Star of Death.
Ye Zichen could sense Gu Zichen's sharpness from his name alone. Although he was happy for Yang Jian, he could vaguely sense that Gu Zichen's emotions were deep.
"Eh, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
Gu Zichen smiled calmly and wiped the corners of his eyes. This kind of shoddy acting was far too exaggerated. Only a blind person would miss the redness in his eyes.
"Going back to what I just said, the Star of Death is the strongest of the Emperor Star's Auxiliary Stars. Even the Emperor Star's Four Great Auxiliary Stars can't compare."
With that, he pressed his lips into a smile.
"You must be wondering why the Star of Death isn't the Emperor Star's Fifth Auxiliary Star despite being so strong, right? In truth, the God Realm has quite a few stories about the Star of Death. The Star of Death is indeed extraordinarily powerful, but he's not good at socializing. He enjoys the darkness and is used to living in it. "
"When the Primordial Lord of Heaven and Earth was born, the Star of Death had accomplished so much in the military that not even the Four Great Auxiliary Stars combined could compare. The Lord of Heaven and Earth conferred upon him the title of God of Death, giving him the glory of being second only to one and above all. However, he didn't show up for his coronation. When the Lord of Heaven and Earth ascended to the throne, he caused far too much killing. The Four Seas, Six Paths, and Eight Wastelands refused to accept this, so the God of Death sent a transmission to the Lord of Heaven and Earth, telling him to push all the killing onto him. "
"For the sake of all living beings, the Lord of Heaven and Earth endured the pain of doing so. The God of Death also bore the spittle of all living beings on his back, and bore the weight of endless killing. After witnessing the Lord of Heaven and Earth ascend to the throne, he disappeared. Only when heaven and earth's life came to an end and transformed into the Violet Micro did he appear, transforming into the Star of Death and hiding among the countless stars. However, he transformed into a star and protected the Violet Micro. In ancient texts, he was hailed as the most loyal god since time immemorial. "
This information ….
It was simply too shocking for Ye Zichen, especially when he heard Gu Zichen describe the Star of Death's life. His heart ached.
He'd won countless glories, but in the end, he'd fallen into desolation.
He'd shouldered endless curses, but all for the sake of preserving the world's peace.
What shocked Ye Zichen the most was that even after heaven and earth's life came to an end and transformed into the Violet Micro, the God of Death scattered his fate and transformed into the Star of Death, but he still protected the Emperor Star ….
Could anyone really do this?
"The Star of Death really is the most loyal god since time immemorial."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He'd truly been won over by the Star of Death's loyalty.
"Where did you learn this story? I've read through all the ancient texts, but there's no record of the Nirvana Stars at all."
"Of course there are no records of the end of an era. The only reason I know is because of this …."
Gu Zichen pointed at his head. Suddenly, a star chart appeared between his brows.
"Do you understand now? I know all of this because I'm the one who illuminated the Emperor Star. I inherited all of the Master of Heaven and Earth's memories. In my world, I'm also the chosen one. It's just that in the end, I failed. "
With that, he glanced bitterly at Yang Jian, who'd already fallen silent. He sighed.
"To tell the truth, even in the end, I still don't understand. Why did the Star of Death choose Yang Jian to be its successor? His personality isn't suited to inherit the Star of Death. If he hadn't inherited the Star of Death, he might not have …. Yang Jian's a pretty good brother of mine. Although he's one-track minded, he really gets along with me. "
Gu Zichen's eyes inexplicably reddened once more. Ye Zichen noticed Gu Zichen's desolation. When he saw Gu Zichen's reddened eyes, his heart suddenly trembled.
Gu Zichen had said earlier that he came from a parallel universe. He could predict everything that was about to happen to him, but that was only if he'd experienced it all before.
Then why was he ….
"What exactly happened to Yang Jian?"
When he saw Ye Zichen so nervous, Gu Zichen's lips curled into a smile, then he looked at him solemnly.
"Are you sure you want to know?"
"Yes."
Ye Zichen said confidently, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it.
