The void blurred, like a mirror, many images appeared in front of them.
On the vast Desolate Continent, blood splattered everywhere as ancient forests and tribes faded away.
Rays of divine light flashed across the sky, coming from cultivators clad in Barbarian God Sect robes.
They flew over on their flying swords, hovering high in the sky. Their eyes were cold and ruthless as they charged towards the Barbarian Tribe below.
Sword qi crisscrossed, metallic clanging noises resounded as they slashed down.
In an instant, large groups of Barbarian Tribe soldiers screamed in agony as blood spurted into the sky and heads rolled. They were no match for these powerful cultivators.
Flames spread rapidly, illuminating the mountain range in a fiery red hue.
Soon, this place was in ruins, with broken walls and wails echoing everywhere, akin to purgatory in the mortal world.
"Xiao Hong, Uncle Lan, Aunt Man …"
A 'Man gritted her teeth tightly as strands of blood appeared in her eyes. She didn't dare believe that this was the future she was about to experience.
The mirror was filled with familiar figures.
Some were her childhood friends, some were her kind uncles and aunts in the tribe, and some were the Barbarian Tribe soldiers she couldn't name...
But now, all of them were screaming as they were mercilessly massacred by the Barbarian God Sect cultivators. Not even children were spared.
This was a tragedy. The Barbarian God Sect cultivators were high up in the sky, riding the wind and flying swords, yet the Barbarian Tribe soldiers were like ants, slaughtering them without mercy, leaving no survivors.
Fire burned, destroying everything. Thick smoke billowed, covering a radius of several thousand li.
"Why is the Barbarian God Sect massacring my Barbarian Tribe's people?!"
An old Barbarian Tribe soldier screamed, his face stained with tears and blood.
However, the cultivators in the sky merely glanced at him coldly. A sword light flashed past, blood spurted into the sky, and heads rolled to the ground.
The old Barbarian Tribe soldier died tragically. Even at the moment of his death, his eyes were wide open, filled with despair and anger.
"If you want to blame someone, blame your tribe's princess."
"She poisoned one of my Barbarian God Sect's Elders. With such hatred, if we don't massacre the Barbarian Tribe, how can we live up to our Barbarian God Sect's reputation?"
A cultivator spoke coldly, casually walking past. Sword lights crisscrossed, even the strongest Barbarian Tribe soldier was not his match.
In just half a day, the huge Barbarian Tribe turned into nothingness and was erased from the world.
"This … this can't be real …"
"This can't be happening in four years …"
Looking at the scene in the mirror, Wilde's voice was a bit hoarse and his eyes were bloodshot. He desperately shook his head, unwilling to believe it.
"You can choose not to believe me."
"You can wait for four years to verify everything."
Gu Changge's tone was still as calm as ever. He did not feel any emotional fluctuations from witnessing the pain and misery of others.
To him, the destruction and reshaping of the myriad worlds were like the ebb and flow of a tide.
He wouldn't even care about the death of countless living beings, let alone one of them.
He chose Ah Man because she was suitable.
If she wasn't suitable, Gu Changge wouldn't have come here and said so much to her. He even showed her the future.
What kind of pain A Man would experience, what kind of future she would have, had nothing to do with him.
"Four years …"
A Man's voice was trembling. His eyes were red and his hair was loose, covering his face.
The mirror in the void did not disappear with the destruction of the Barbarian Tribe.
Among them, A Man saw a familiar figure. He was wearing a beast skin robe, had a burly back, and carried a stone axe. He walked alone in the vast desert.
He was looking for something. Along the way, he passed by ruins one after another, searching for the Barbarian God who had disappeared.
"Father …"
A Man's voice was trembling as she reached out, wanting to touch the figure.
However, her hand only passed through the mirror. It was like fishing for the moon in the water, only causing a faint ripple.
Although she had also realized that the father who had raised her was not her biological father, she was still very much in love with him.
But to her, this was her biological father.
"No …"
The next moment, blood light soared into the sky again in the image. The burly figure with the stone axe on his back fell down, his face full of shock, disbelief, and deep despair.
"Grandfather … how is this possible …"
Looking at the hunched figure who killed her adoptive father, A Man's eyes widened again and turned red. She could not believe, did not dare to imagine, and was unwilling to accept this.
This was the most respected elder in the tribe who had taught her all kinds of knowledge since she was young.
Why would he appear there and kill her adoptive father?
To her, her adoptive father and grandfather were the closest family in the world.
"This can't be real …"
"This can't be real … grandfather is not this kind of person …"
At this moment, A Man seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant. She collapsed to the ground, her eyes were lifeless as she let out helpless sobs.
Although she usually appeared calm and composed, exceeding her peers of the same age.
But in the end, she was only a 15 or 16 year old girl.
Suddenly knowing that this was the cruel future she would have to experience, how could she accept it immediately?
"Do you still want to see? There are many more things waiting for you. "
"Those who are born with a demon heart are destined to be surrounded by misfortune, their friends and family will be killed, and they will be alone."
"What does this count as?"
Gu Changge's gaze did not change much, a faint smile on his face. He did not pity A Man because of her helplessness.
"I don't want to see this …"
A Man shook her head desperately, her voice trembling with fear.
At this moment, in her eyes, Gu Changge was more terrifying than anything else. If this was really the future she was destined to experience …
Then why did he know all this? How could he say all this so casually?
Wasn't revealing the future the same as revealing heaven's secrets?
Why didn't he suffer any backlash or heaven's punishment?
Too many fears occupied her mind and thoughts.
At this moment, she no longer had the coldness and cruelty she had when facing Song Qinger. Instead, she looked like a helpless little girl.
"Running away blindly is not the right choice."
"Four years later, will you be strong enough to contend against the entire Barbarian God Sect? Will you be able to protect the tribe behind you?
"Or will you choose to sacrifice yourself as a cauldron, allowing yourself to be plucked by your Master? But if that's the case, who will save your father?
"Even if you can contend against the entire Barbarian God Sect four years later, don't forget, there is a bigger conspiracy behind this world, a more terrifying enemy waiting for you.
"Why did your Grandfather want to kill your foster father …"
"This is really interesting."
Gu Changge's tone was unhurried, as if he was a bystander, witnessing everything that happened to someone else.
"Don't say anymore …"
"Don't say anymore …"
"You …"
When these words fell into A Man's ears, they seemed to carry a terrifying demonic aura. She couldn't help but think of these things, her eyes filled with fear.
She didn't know what to do.
If this was really the future she had to experience, she really didn't know what to do.
There was no way, no way to deal with it.
It was as if this was the path she was destined to walk, a fate she had already decided, and could not be changed.
But she only wanted to live a carefree life in the barbarian tribe, to restore the tribe to its former glory, to make this world's cultivators not dare to bully the barbarian tribe.
But why did such a simple wish become such an extravagant matter?
"You … since you know all this, then you can definitely help me, right?"
At this time, A Man suddenly remembered what Gu Changge said at the beginning, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.
She turned her head to look at Gu Changge.
Like a drowning person suddenly grasping at a life-saving straw.
"Yes, I can help you. After all, I just said that I am your benefactor."
Hearing this, Gu Changge smiled faintly and walked toward her. He squatted down and took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve, wiping the tear stains on her face.
A Man stared blankly at him as he walked closer. She could smell a pleasant scent.
This aura was very natural, making people think of distant mountains, clear rivers, white clouds, and gentle winds.
Her somewhat fearful and uneasy emotions gradually calmed down.
"What an exquisite and beautiful little girl …"
Gu Changge wiped the tear stains on her face and looked at her delicate features, as well as her firm and unshakable eyes.
He could not help but gently shake his head, thinking of Chan Hongyi.
At the foot of the mountain, when he first met Chan Hongyi as the Demon Master, she also had a timid but firm appearance.
But at that time, Chan Hongyi did not have such a tragic background and future as A Man.
"I … what should I call you?"
A Man was still not used to Gu Changge's change in attitude. Just now, he looked cold and indifferent as if he was looking down on all living things.
00
But now, he gently wiped away her tear stains.
Her temperament was not simple. Just now, when she was shocked by the scenes of the future she would experience, she was afraid and lost her usual calm.
Now that this fear had slightly dissipated, she gradually calmed down.
In this world, there would not be good for no reason, and there would not be such a thing as a free lunch falling from the sky.
So Gu Changge in front of her definitely had his reasons for doing this.
"Call me what?"
Gu Changge laughed and then asked her, "Then, what do you think you should call me?"
Man suddenly fell silent. She didn't know how to answer this question. Although Gu Changge looked very young, like a legendary immortal, she didn't know how to answer.
But for an existence as powerful as him who could peer into the future, it was very difficult to judge his age from appearance.
"Senior?"
A Man asked tentatively.
Gu Changge chuckled. "Senior is fine, as long as you don't call me Master. I'm already tired of hearing this title."
A Man nodded in confusion, not knowing that Gu Changge was just teasing her.
Of course, she did not dig to the bottom of Gu Changge's intentions.
"You are very smart and calm, but this is also one of the things I admire. A truly smart person understands the pros and cons of the situation. "
Gu Changge let her get up from the ground, and with a wave of his sleeve, the world immediately returned to its original state.
The wind blew, and there was the sound of insects and birds in the distance.
"Just now, did you stop time?"
A Man was astounded by this unfathomable and unfathomable method.
She didn't know if the legendary Barbarian God could do this.
But those Barbarian God Sect Elders would never be able to do such a thing.
"Time stopped?"
Gu Changge chuckled, but he did not answer her question. Instead, he explained his plan.
"Next, I will awaken your true talent and strength, turning you into a true devil."
"Have you thought it through?"
"Once you walk on this path, there will be no turning back."
"True devil?"
A Man was stunned. From these four simple words, she suddenly felt endless killing intent soaring to the heavens.
Gu Changge did not force her.
He knew that she would choose, she had no other choice.
Of course, she could refuse, but Gu Changge would use another method to make her accept.
"True devil, what is that?"
A Man asked in a low voice, not understanding what this meant.
"True devil is just a name given by the common people. In my eyes, there is no distinction between devil and immortal." Gu Changge said.
"I've thought it through, as long as it can change my fate, change my future."
"I'm willing to do anything."
A Man did not hesitate for long, her eyes filled with determination as she spoke.
"Senior, please help me."
"Very good."
"In the future, you will not regret the choice you made today."
Gu Changge smiled faintly. With a wave of his hand, boundless black light fell, condensing into a pitch-black rune of the Great Dao.
There seemed to be thousands of mysteries swirling within the rune, interweaving with each other. Then, the rune began to bloom, floating up and down in the air, turning into a seed that directly shot towards A Man's forehead.
"Seed?"
Wilde didn't resist. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and watched as the seed charged at her.
With a whoosh, the seed entered the space between her eyebrows and disappeared in an instant.
A Man only saw a blurry bottle appear in front of her, floating in her mind with a terrifying aura that could crush everything.
A black light rushed out from the bottle and landed on her limbs and bones. It then surged towards her skin, flesh, lungs, bones, and finally took root in the location of her heart.
"It hurts …"
A Man's face immediately paled, her small face filled with pain, her brows tightly knitted together.
She only felt that her heart had stopped beating at this moment, and then it was torn apart.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, she could even clearly hear the sound of her own heart beating.
It began to spurt out black light, directly covering and destroying the meridians she had formed before.
"My power …"
A Man's eyes widened, feeling that her power was quickly fading away. All the cultivation she had bitterly cultivated all these years had gone down the drain in an instant.
Gu Changge just watched from the side, his eyes unmoved.
