On the field.
The ashen white smoke that filled the sky seemed to be disappearing bit by bit.
It was no longer burning like a raging fire, nor was it sweeping like a stormy sea. Instead, it was becoming more and more illusory, more and more ethereal.
Moreover.
It looked like the ashen white smoke was not disappearing, but gathering.
That's right!
It was gathering.
The ashen white smoke that filled the sky seemed to be gathering in the center, forming a slowly rotating whirlpool, as if it was nurturing something.
At the same time.
The originally cratered space within the Li Palace gradually began to heal, the cracks and holes growing smaller and smaller, becoming less and less obvious. Especially as the gray-white mist slowly gathered, the shattered space of the Li Palace began to heal faster and faster.
When the ashen white smoke that filled the sky no longer covered the space and gathered into a whirlpool, the Li Palace's space was more or less restored to normal. As far as the eye could see, there were no more cracks, no holes, not even a single one. It was as if the space had never been broken, not even a single trace was left behind.
After an unknown period of time.
The space was finally restored.
It still looked like the ever-changing space that contained endless mysteries.
The ashen white smoke that filled the sky also disappeared.
Only the ashen white whirlpool that was slowly rotating was left.
The whirlpool became more and more illusory, more and more ethereal.
Faintly, there seemed to be a figure in the ashen white whirlpool, a distorted and blurry figure.
As the ashen white whirlpool became more and more ethereal, the distorted and blurry figure became clearer and clearer.
It was a man.
It was an ordinary-looking man dressed in white.
The man stood in the air with his head lowered and his eyes closed.
Like a reflection in the water, faintly discernible.
His long hair that was as black as ink danced with the ashen white whirlpool.
A white robe that was whiter than snow also fluttered along with the ashen white whirlpool.
Seeing this man.
The old beggar hiding in Black Water Mountain was so excited that his face turned red. He shouted, "It's that brat! Look! It's that brat Emperor You! Sister Black Water! No! Lady Black Water, it seems like you guessed right. That brat Emperor You's consciousness really hasn't been devoured! This brat is still alive! Still alive! Hahaha! This old man knew that this brat's luck was great, he definitely wouldn't be devoured! Hahahaha! "
The old beggar was extremely excited. His fists were tightly clenched, his body couldn't help but tremble, his eyes turning red!
The expression on Lady Black Water's Lady Black Water's cold face changed again and again. Even though she tried to hide it, her eyes couldn't hide the excitement in her heart.
... Emperor You Emperor's body appearing, it doesn't mean that his consciousness hasn't been devoured.. by.......... by......... if... by.......................... by............ by..................... is. s....... by....................... by by.
.....
The old beggar, who was so excited, suddenly became silent.
Previously, he had fallen into the abyss of despair.
. Lady Black Water's conjecture pulled him out of the abyss of despair....................
................. Lady Black Water's words made him fall into the abyss of despair again.................................
................. It was so much more painful than being suppressed in the Ultimate. The old beggar...............
. In fact.
Speaking of..
. Lady Black Water didn't mean to hurt the old beggar.
Instead of saying that her words extinguished the old beggar's rekindled hope again and again, the old beggar's heart was full of hope.
Or rather, she extinguished the hope in her heart again and again.
Because she knew that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and the greater the disappointment, the greater the despair.
She didn't want to despair!
So.
Even if she guessed reasonably that Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness might not have been devoured, she didn't dare to have too much hope.
Even though she had seen Gu Qingfeng's physical body reappear with her own eyes, she still warned herself over and over again not to have any hope!
She didn't want endless despair to wait for her after the hope.
She might be able to wait, and she could afford to lose.
But she didn't want to wait, and she didn't want to lose!
"Lady Black Water, you'd better pray that Emperor You's self-awareness hasn't been devoured. Otherwise, I won't forgive you for teasing me so many times!"
The old beggar had enough. His heart couldn't stand the torment of wandering between hope and despair. He felt that he was about to collapse...
In the field.
The gray vortex was faintly discernible, like a wisp of smoke. And Gu Qingfeng's figure was getting clearer and clearer.
Not far away.
There was another person who had been watching, and he was watching in the open. He never left.
This person was wearing a shabby monk's robe, a shabby monk's hat, and shabby monk's shoes. There was also a shabby fan hanging from his waist.
Who else could it be but Mad Monk Daxing?
When he witnessed Gu Qingfeng crazily slaughtering the Great Dao masters who were hiding in the void, and when he saw Gu Qingfeng's figure disappear bit by bit into the grayish-white smoke that filled the sky, it was no exaggeration to say that Monk Daxing was more despairing than anyone else!
However, after the despair, he gradually accepted the cruel reality and calmed down.
When he calmed down, his despair was rekindled with hope.
Like Lady Black Water and the old beggar, he thought of someone.
Nameless Ancient.
Lady Black Water suspected that Nameless Ancient had been carefully plotting in the dark. His goal was to wait for Gu Qingfeng to become the Original Sin, then kill him and completely wipe out the original sin.
Mad Monk Daxing was even more suspicious than Lady Black Water.
Lady Black Water knew that Nameless Ancient would not watch Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness be devoured by an existence outside the Great Dao. Mad Monk Daxing knew better than her.
Lady Black Water speculated that Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness might not have been devoured. After Mad Monk Daxing calmed down, he gradually had this feeling.
However.
Lady Black Water did not dare to be 100% sure. Mad Monk Daxing also did not dare to be 100% sure.
Lady Black Water was waiting.
So was Mad Monk Daxing.
In the void.
The faintly discernible grayish-white vortex finally disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Gu Qingfeng's figure once again appeared in everyone's sight.
Just like that, he stood in the void.
His head was lowered.
His eyes were closed.
His fluttering black hair also calmed down. His fluttering white robe also stopped.
Silence!
There was a deathly silence.
At this moment.
No one knew whether Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness had been devoured by an existence outside the Great Dao.
Mad Monk Daxing did not know. Lady Black Water did not know. The old beggar did not know. Cang Yan did not know. Even Nameless Ancient did not know. All the Great Dao masters in the world did not know.
Everyone was waiting.
Waiting for an answer.
Whether it was those who protected the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, those who plotted against the True Lord of Original Sin, or those who placed their hopes on Gu Qingfeng, they were all waiting.
Especially when the gray vortex disappeared and Gu Qingfeng's figure appeared clearly. Everyone's hearts were in their throats at this moment.
Mad Monk Daxing was even more so.
As time passed, Gu Qingfeng still did not move in the void. His head was still lowered and his eyes were closed.
The old beggar, who was hiding on Black Water Mountain, stared at Gu Qingfeng in the air.
His mind, his spirit, his nerves, and everything else was in a state of extreme tension.
The old beggar had only experienced this kind of extreme tension twice in his life. The first time was when he was waiting for the Daoless Era to begin. This was the second time.
He felt more nervous and tormented than when he was waiting for the Daoless Era to begin.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from Gu Qingfeng.
The old beggar felt like he was going crazy.
He wanted to use his Divine Sense to investigate, but he did not dare.
He was not afraid that after Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness was devoured by an existence outside the Great Dao, he would anger the existence outside the Great Dao and bring trouble to himself.
The old beggar was not afraid of angering an existence outside the Great Dao, nor was he afraid of bringing trouble to himself.
He was afraid that he could not bear the cruel reality of Gu Qingfeng being devoured.
Previously, he had been tortured by Lady Black Water several times, causing him to hover between despair and hope. No matter how strong the old beggar's mental endurance was, he could not bear such torment.
But waiting like this was not a solution. It was too tormenting and painful!
Finally!
The old beggar made up his mind, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and decided to go all out!
He took a few deep breaths in a row, but still could not restrain the trembling of his heart.
He shook his head fiercely, and then raised his head to drink a jar of wine.
The old beggar clenched his fists, stretched out his head, and used his Divine Sense to carefully investigate.
Close!
Closer and closer.
The old beggar closed his eyes nervously, and his body could not help trembling.
However.
When he finally summoned up the courage to use his Divine Sense to investigate Gu Qingfeng, he was dumbfounded.
Because he found that his Divine Sense could not detect the existence of Gu Qingfeng at all.
Suddenly opening his eyes, the old beggar slapped himself fiercely, and secretly scolded himself for being so stupid. How could he forget this thing when he was so nervous!
The old beggar was not surprised that his Divine Sense could not detect the existence of Gu Qingfeng. Not only was he not surprised, but he also felt that he was too stupid.
Because before this, he had also been unable to detect Gu Qingfeng's existence with his Divine Sense.
Since his Divine Sense could not detect the existence of Gu Qingfeng, what should he do?
Should he go and see for himself?
As soon as this idea emerged, the old beggar did not even think about it, and directly rejected it.
Originally, he had been tortured by Lady Black Water to the point of collapse. Just now, he finally made up his mind to use his Divine Sense to investigate, but the result was that he did not find anything.
Using his Divine Sense to investigate had exhausted his last bit of endurance. The old beggar did not dare to go and investigate himself.
