Chapter 756 Necessary Sacrifice
“I must find a way to break the situation.” Gu Xu secretly said in his heart.
In his mind, the picture of the future he glimpsed while traveling through time reappeared.
Although he in the future has died and turned into a cold corpse in a coffin,
but the wild world is safe and sound, and everything is peaceful.
All of this is in sharp contrast to the current tragic situation -
The sky is shattered, Xuandan Tianzun slaughters wantonly, the blood of all living beings in the wilderness flows into rivers, and mourners fill the land, just like purgatory.
"Perhaps, I found a way to repel Xuandan Tianzun and protect the wild world at the expense of myself."
Gu Xu stood in the damaged "Zhou" In the center of the "Tian Xing Dou Formation", there was a solemn expression on his face, and his eyes glanced around like lightning.
His gaze passed over several powerful True Lords who were fighting the enemy with all their strength, and past the pregnant Night Emperor.
He passed by Zhao Yan and Shangguan Jin who were trying their best to quell the riot in Luojing City, and passed by Xiao Wanjun who looked up at him in Changchun Garden with worry in his eyes.
Passing past Shi Xiaohan who was asleep in the side hall, past Gu Qingyan who was holding a teddy bear with a frightened expression, and past the panic-stricken people on the ground who had previously shouted "Long Live the Emperor" but were now running away in all directions. ……
"I absorbed the incense of the wilderness, but failed to protect their peace. They... must be very disappointed with me."
He recalled the time when he first traveled to the world of the wilderness, burdened with The gifts and curses of the "unfortunate genius".
To live for a long time is his only desire.
At that time, if he had to make a choice between the survival of the world and his own life and death, he would undoubtedly choose to save his own life at all costs.
Now, several years have passed, Gu Xu is no longer the clerk of the Exorcism Department of Yishui County who is chased day and night by the shadow of death.
He killed the Kongxuan Sanren, defeated the remnant soul of Ziwei, overthrew the Daqi Dynasty, and shook the Tiangong Floating Island.
It has completely changed this wild world.
In the process, he formed a deep and inseparable bond with the world.
He has his own wife and his own daughter. He is no longer a passerby in this world, but has truly taken root here, integrating into the land that entrusts his emotions and witnesses his glory. To coexist with the struggling heaven and earth, and with all things.
The wilderness has become his new home.
He once imagined a way to get the best of both worlds, hoping to protect himself and the wild world.
But now it seems that this is just a wishful thinking.
The eighth realm and the ninth realm seem to be only one step away, but in fact they are worlds apart, like a chasm that is difficult to cross.
Inadvertently, Gu Xu remembered that when he was just a weak monk in the first realm, he once said something to Zhou Jiaoyu of Yishui County: "Those who enjoy the benefits of the world will suffer the troubles of the world; those who live in the happiness of the world, "We share the world's worries."
At that time, he just said it casually, just to find an excuse to decline the other party's banquet.
Now it seems that what a person has said will eventually be fulfilled one day.
The corners of Gu Xu's mouth raised slightly, with a self-deprecating smile, but his eyes became more determined.
“Since fate has told me that sacrificing myself alone can save my family and people.”
"As the king of Great Xia, I usually enjoy the admiration and worship of all the people. Now that the wilderness world is threatened by foreign enemies, it is my duty to step forward and help them eliminate disasters." Although Xuandan Tianzun is powerful, he is not unshakable.
Although the Ninth Realm is an existence that stands on top of the world, Gu Xu knows that he can try to find a way to break the situation with the help of a higher and otherworldly power.
"Colorless Sky".
This mysterious word that contains infinite information appeared in Gu Xu's mind again.
He recalled that when he traced back along Jiang Zhaoyue's destiny, he had seen a chaotic and disorderly world - if the level of the ninth realm was still within the scope of Gu Xu's understanding, then this "colorless sky", Just thinking about it for a moment made him feel that his mental strength was quickly drained, and his mind seemed to be on the verge of breaking.
He originally thought that he would need to undergo a long period of practice before he could touch this mysterious and terrifying "colorless sky" again.
But now, in order to save the wilderness, he has no choice but to take risks.
His eyes turned indigo, like a deep and vast starry sky.
His consciousness separated from his body and drifted towards the distant and ethereal river of destiny. The long river is undulating, intertwined with countless fragments of time. He headed upstream without hesitation, passing through layers of fog, just to explore the truth and power hidden at the source.
All the surrounding scenery gradually lost its color, peeled off its appearance, and turned into a shadow. Even the deepest supporting bones were disintegrating bit by bit.
A kaleidoscope-like colorful illusion appeared before his eyes, and immediately turned into a rapidly rotating vortex, and finally dissolved into an indescribable turbidity and darkness.
He felt that his soul was like a lit candle, rapidly melting, rapidly shortening, and rapidly weakening.
At the same time, a massive amount of information poured into his mind like a torrent, making him dizzy and causing severe pain as if his head was about to explode.
But he still relied on his tenacious will to support himself and move forward hard in this chaotic and disorderly world.
After an unknown amount of time, the smoke gradually dissipated, and a simple low table vaguely appeared in front of his eyes. Paper and pens were placed quietly on the table, as if waiting for something.
At this time, Gu Xu was already too weak to support his body.
He took a staggering step, his legs softened, and he fell heavily to the ground.
My vision was gradually eroded by darkness, and my consciousness seemed to be torn apart by invisible hands and became fragmented. Fatigue completely overwhelmed him like a tide. He just wanted to close his eyes and let himself sink into a peaceful and eternal sleep.
"Wake up! Do you want to watch all the sentient beings in the wilderness become alchemy materials for Xuandan Tianzun?"
He suddenly raised his hand and gave himself a loud slap in the face.
The severe pain brought back some clarity, and with strong will, he abruptly pulled himself back from the drowsiness.
However, his legs had already lost their strength, and no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer stand up.
He gritted his teeth, clasped his hands firmly on the ground, and wriggled his body with difficulty, like a tenacious struggling caterpillar, crawling towards the table bit by bit.
He didn't know what that table symbolized.
He didn't know what that table symbolized, but his inner intuition echoed like thunder - there was his only hope to solve the dilemma.
He crawled for a long time, it seemed like hours had passed, and it seemed like many years had passed.
Finally, he moved to the edge of the table.
He raised his trembling hand and grabbed the pen and paper on the low table.
