Chapter 475 Experimental Object
Later, Gu Xu remembered that when he was climbing the "Soul-Desolating Cliff", he was introduced to the Yama Hall by the white-haired boy and saw the "Books of Life and Death" displayed in the cabinet.
There are Chen Jisheng's, sometimes Xiaohan's, Shangguan Jin's, Lu Shiyao's...but not Gu Xu's own.
Although he could not see the contents of the book at the time, he was able to see the fate of these people through the "judgment" written on the cover.
Of course, there are many deviations between the fate written in the book and their actual fate.
According to the white-haired boy, Gu Xu is a "variable" outside of fate - other people are chess pieces on the chessboard and need to obey the rules and the will of the chess players; Gu Xu is like an apple jumping on the chessboard , can run rampant at will.
Because of the existence of Gu Xu, the fate of many people around him has changed.
For example, Chen Jisheng did not die in the disaster in Qingzhou Prefecture as described in the "Book of Life and Death".
Could it be that Emperor Ziwei took away his cause and effect because he wanted to become a "variable" like him who had no shackles and was not bound by fate?
"Yes," after sensing Gu Xu's thoughts, Emperor Ziwei replied lightly, "the 'shackles' you saw in the illusion do not really exist, but are a concept Projection, a symbol of destiny
"The 'Book of Life and Death' is one of the specific manifestations of shackles.
"Tai Shang Haotian uses the 'Book of Life and Death' to control the fate of all living beings in the wilderness and avoid uncontrollable uneasy factors in the prison. "
"But you said before that when a practitioner reaches the sixth realm, he will be able to transcend the 'book of life and death' and get out of his established destiny. "Gu Xu said with some confusion.
Emperor Ziwei chuckled and said: "Do you think that by breaking away from the 'Book of Life and Death', you can escape the fate of being controlled and enslaved? Do you think Taishang Haotian would let us go so easily?
“Leaving the ‘Book of Life and Death’ is just because the power of the ‘Book of Life and Death’ is not enough to control the life trajectory of practitioners in the sixth realm and above. But this also means that we will be completely exposed to Taishang Hao Under the surveillance of the heavenly minions, our power exceeding the upper limit or excessive behavior may be regarded as a sign of "loss of control" and be obliterated by the upper world."
Gu Xu was silent for a while, took a deep breath and said: "No wonder you chose to take action when I was promoted to the sixth realm.
"You could have avoided this by hiding in my body in the form of a remnant soul. Be entered into the 'book of life and death'. After that, if you seize my body and replace me with the causal fate of someone from another world, you can get rid of the shackles and avoid the surveillance of the upper world.
“What a good plan!”
Emperor Zi Wei gave him a thumbs up.
"It is indeed the only successful case among my hundreds of experimental products," he smiled and said in an appreciative tone, "I was able to figure out the key so quickly."
Hundreds of experiments!
Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
“You got hundreds of souls from another world?”
“Yes, Wenchang and I tried to stuff hundreds of souls from other worlds into the bodies of people in the wilderness. ," Emperor Ziwei wrote lightly, "Everyone else died due to incompatibility between soul and body, or conflict of fates, etc., but you are the only one who survived.
"Although you are too weak. , there are a lot of them in the body, but we can only make do with them. ”
These hundreds of souls from another world may be just a pale number in the eyes of Emperor Ziwei.
But as one of the "experimental subjects", Gu Xu can still recall the confusion and panic, the fear of the unknown, and the longing for his parents, relatives and friends in the days when he just traveled to a different world. care. He could also imagine how sad his relatives would be after his "sudden death" on earth.
Now Emperor Ziwei told him that there were hundreds of souls like him who were inexplicably taken to other worlds, and all of them were dead except him!
It was difficult for Gu Xu to remain calm. And at this moment when his heart was ups and downs, Emperor Ziwei seized the opportunity and attacked him again.
The so-called "making a deal" and "symbiotic and win-win" are actually Emperor Ziwei's tactics to delay time - he doesn't want to negotiate with Gu Xu at all. He just wanted to completely replace Gu Xu.
At the same time, he also dared to conclude that the "secret" information he threw out would definitely grab Gu Xu's attention, affect his state of mind, and make Gu Xu have no time to notice him. Small gestures.
I saw a thumb-sized little man suddenly appear at the gate of Fengdu City.
This villain has a very similar appearance to Gu Xu and has long frost-white hair.
It is the spirit of the astrolabe!
But at this moment, the figure of the little man grew rapidly, becoming less and less like Gu Xu - or in other words, becoming more and more like Emperor Ziwei.
In the end, his figure completely overlapped with that of Emperor Ziwei.
The aura of Emperor Ziwei suddenly surged.
The soul power he had just consumed due to repeated use of the "time" authority was restored at this moment.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Gu Xu.
Two stars suddenly fell from the dark sky, dragging their long flame tails and hitting Gu Xu's head with overwhelming force.
The spell he used was undoubtedly the "Star Formation".
This complex and profound spell, capable of both offense and defense, has shown amazing power in Gu Xu's hands more than once, helping him defeat powerful enemies.
But as the founder of the "Star Formation", Emperor Ziwei, this spell will only become more powerful and terrifying in his hands.
The two stars he summoned, one is "Heavenly Mansion" and the other is "Earthly Tribulation".
The former's five elements belong to earth, and they turn air into order. Its majestic atmosphere has the power to suppress all things in the world, and instantly imprisoned Gu Xu's actions; the latter's five elements belong to fire, and it is the evil star in the sky, the god of robbery and killing, and its power is fierce and fierce. , vowing to completely crush Gu Xu’s soul.
Gu Xu frowned and looked solemn.
He has realized that the little white-haired man on the astrolabe is not a weapon spirit at all, but a fragment of the soul of Emperor Ziwei.
During the time when Donghai returned to the ruins, it seemed that the spirit of the weapon was bickering with him and adding knowledge to him. In fact, it was Emperor Ziwei who was subtly guiding his actions.
Because of this, their speaking styles are so similar. They both like to ridicule Gu Xu's strength and tease Gu Xu's feelings.
It’s not because of some “weapon spirit master”!
Later, perhaps because Emperor Ziwei felt that it was inconvenient to use split souls, he simply chattered in Gu Xu’s head all day long, personally instilling in him the words “You and I are one” and “You and I are one” over and over again. The concept of "reincarnation and rebirth" made Gu Xu increasingly identify with the identity of "Zi Wei's reincarnation".
In this way, he could easily integrate the two names "Zi Wei" and "Gu Xu" together with the cause and effect behind them.
And now, Emperor Ziwei has chosen to recall the split soul.
The split soul, together with the power previously stored in the astrolabe, all poured into his body, causing the balance of victory to tilt suddenly to his side.
