Chapter 131: Who is the poor wretch?

And as if in response to the god’s anger, the waves that had been churning up the sky began to separate at this moment. In one of them, which looked like the purest pool, the ice-blue water began to struggle, and then surged toward the god in waves.

I saw clearly that it was the surging power of the soul, the purest power of the soul. From the moment they separated, I saw clearly their essence.

Wu Liyu once said that this god is a collector, but I said that it is not. The more powerful part of him is to bear!

It felt like his soul was like an endless pit that could absorb too much power, and if we ordinary cultivators were to absorb so much power, we would explode.

The god’s anger made the scene he created incredibly powerful. I thought I would instinctively feel some fear, but instead I felt a strange pride and a completely calm mood welling up inside me. I looked at the god and said something I knew I couldn’t understand: “Don’t you feel that you should listen to me? Do you admit it? You’re just a coward hiding in this space, relying on a single Tianwen Stone. Do you have a heart for the Dao? Or do you have amazing accomplishments and profound understanding in the art of magic? You don’t have any of these? What makes you qualified to call yourself a god? Even in this world, there are too many cultivators who can look down on you, including Wu Tian, who is helping you from the outside. Do you think you can control him to do things for you? That’s ridiculous.”

What is the turtle hiding in this space? What is the stone of the heavenly pattern? Why can Wu Tian look down on this god?

The words I spoke made me feel as if I were in a fog, unable to understand, as if I knew many secrets, but did not know the essence of the secret.

But my words made the god look at me with a look of unwillingness, anger, and even panic.

Why was he looking at me like that? I subconsciously took a step back, and behind me I heard my master breathing heavily, losing the long rhythm of the past and sounding a bit hurried.

Obviously, Master was also at a critical juncture in the rescue of the light… I could not help him, nor could I disturb him.

So I suddenly stopped, but I don’t know why I was calm in the face of God’s anger, but I had a slight sense of panic in the face of God’s inexplicable gaze.

“Hahaha…” Perhaps he was too deeply provoked, and the god laughed inexplicably. After laughing, his expression became calm, but what was terrifying was his eyes. They were not cold, but I couldn’t describe what kind of eyes they were. If I had to describe them, he was looking at me like a dead person.

The strange feeling of being looked at like this really irritated me, and a wave of anger welled up from the bottom of my heart. In any case, he was now imprisoned, or I could do something else, like easily killing him, then imprisoning his soul in another way, and then thinking about how to obliterate his soul…

I must admit that I was at a loss at this moment, and I even forgot that under the power of the stars, I could not get close to it unless my soul could withstand the suppression of the power of the stars. Although the power of the stars was directed at God alone, within a certain space, approaching God (as if touching God’s body) would have to withstand the suppression of the power of the stars that spilled out.

However, I was still looking around, then my eyes fell on a certain point, and I found a sharp-looking magic weapon, and then I ran over there in a hurry.

“Hahaha… what are you afraid of?” God’s laughter sounded behind me. He seemed to see through my purpose and mercilessly questioned and mocked me, making my back cold. I ran over and held the magic weapon, feeling slightly relieved. I ran towards God again with anger and unease in the deepest part of my soul.

“Chengyi.” A voice called out behind me. I turned around a little impatiently, but I didn’t know when it was, and Lingqing, who had been sitting in one place, staring at the master, stood up.

Even if I were angry with everyone, I could not be rude to my elders, so I suppressed my anger, looked at Grandma Lingqing with a pale face, and forced a smile, saying, “Grandma Lingqing, it’s okay, he’s finished, he’s almost finished.”

The “he” I was referring to was naturally the god, but when I said it, I didn’t know if I was comforting Lingqing Grandmother or myself.

While I was talking, Granny Lingqing walked towards me, her hand gently resting on the handle of my weapon. She said softly, “Under the power of the stars, only the primordial power of the heavens can pass through. Just like the power of the soul, the power of the five elements, etc., can a sharp weapon like yours get close to him?”

“Clang!” The magic weapon in my hand fell to the ground. I felt like I had lost my peace of mind. I suddenly looked at Grandma Lingqing in a daze. I had no idea why I was like this. If it was because the god looked at me with the same gaze that he looked at the dead, and that made me angry, then that was simply not possible!

Because along the way, there have been countless people who wanted me dead. When have I ever been so afraid? I actually know very well that what I fear is the complicated look in the eyes of the gods when I say things that I myself cannot understand. What does he know? And what he knows touches the deepest part of my heart.

Grandma Ling Qing looked at me with a little more pity in her eyes. She placed her hand on my face and said softly, “Your master and I were soulmates, and our love was true, but we were not able to have a child. But it is also not true to say that we did not have a child. You are our child. Your master said that the greatest calamity in your life is yourself. But he also said something else. Do you know what it was?”

“What?” My voice was a little shaky.

“No matter what, you still have him, you still have me… we will never give up on you.” Grandma Lingqing’s voice was gentle. I didn’t understand the deeper meaning of her words, but I could understand the surface meaning of her words, which was that they would never give up on me, the existence of Chen Chengyi.

This thought is very strange. What does it mean by the existence of Chen Chengyi? I am more and more confused about myself, but I am also more and more aggrieved. I can’t help but say, “Then why did you leave without hesitation back then?”

In the face of my questioning, Ling Qing’s expression remained calm. Her fingers brushed my cheek and rested on my shoulder. She continued to speak gently, “You don’t understand your master. What he did had no results! But let him explain everything to you. Remember what I said. You should be at ease.”

“What should I be at ease about?” I couldn’t help but feel confused.

“At least now you can rest assured and wait for him to complete the step-gong. Aren’t you and your master supposed to fight this so-called god together?” Grandma Lingqing smiled. I subconsciously turned around to look at my master, but all I saw was a back. Under such tremendous pressure, he was still upright, and I felt inexplicably at ease.

I should be at ease… I suddenly thought so, and my originally inexplicable and flustered state of mind gradually began to calm down.

“I know.” This time I really smiled at Ling Qing’s grandmother and then turned and walked towards the god.

On the side of the god, the soul power separated from the river of fate still rushed towards him like the waves of the wildest storm, but his face always had an expression of looking at a dead person, as if he was looking at me with great satisfaction.

He laughed like a madman, and slowly raised his arm, although it was difficult to raise it even a little, but it still slowly rose higher and higher.

I walked in front of my master, with my back to him and my face to the god. I sat cross-legged, and in fact, after the completion of the step-gong, I could control the star power, but in general, there was no need to do so, because this kind of control was actually weaker than the star power itself. I just had a hunch that I should do it.

“What’s the point? Haha… what’s the point? Even if you temporarily imprison me now, what can you do to me? Can you use half of your magic to destroy me? No… you can’t! Even if you can, you don’t know, do you? I can’t be destroyed here. If you don’t believe me, go ask your master. Hahaha…” As I sat down, the god didn’t panic at all, but instead laughed even more arrogantly.

I didn’t understand why he was so happy. I just wanted to be silent, wait for my master peacefully, and keep my mind unaffected. But I didn’t want to. I opened my eyes and looked at him with a cold gaze that I could feel myself. Then I said, “You coward, why don’t you break your shell and be done with it?”

What kind of words are these? My heart was filled with panic again, and my spirit was once again angry, but he looked at me and smiled.

He suddenly looked at me very seriously and said, “For all these years, I have not been happy because I have not been myself. But do you know what the good thing is?”

I didn’t know what he meant, but I looked at him subconsciously, and I felt like I wanted to hear what he was going to say next.

At this moment, the blue light of the separated soul power shone on God’s face, making him look particularly ferocious. However, he continued to say to me with a crazy smile, “It’s good that I can still control an absolute part of myself, unlike you, who will soon be a poor worm who is not himself… a poor worm who will always be completely gone, leaving no trace.”

As he spoke, God suddenly raised his hand and let out a mad cry. The soul power he had just gathered was enough to make the palm of his raised hand form a huge shadow… What was he going to do?

I was unable to think, because the words of the god had completely disturbed my mind and I felt my whole body grow cold.
