Chapter 955 – Heavenly Father’s Method
Hearing these words, Cao Yuan’s emotions gradually stabilized, he took a deep breath and loosened his palms on the table.
Zuo Qing helplessly closed his eyes and continued, ”The relationship between you guys and An Qingyu is clear to everyone …… It is also because of this that I proposed to the Great Summer Gods that the [Night Curtain] squad avoid suspicion in this matter.
After all, if you guys really do something that causes the handling of An Qingyu to fail, and the [Key of the Gate] returns, then not only Daxia, but the entire Earth will be devastated …… At that time, the [Night Curtain] will become the sinner of the entire world.
But you guys, you were supposed to be heroes, weren’t you?”
Lin Qiye’s heart trembled slightly when he met Zuo Qing’s gaze.
The eyes of Zuo Qing as he looked at them held a multitude of complex emotions, anticipation, relief, helplessness, and guilt……. This kind of gaze, Lin Qiye had seen it in the eyes of Ye Fan once upon a time as well.
The difference is that back then, Ye Fan only saw a part of [Night Curtain]’s rise, while Zuo Qing watched them go from nothing, step by step, to today.
No one knows better than Zuo Qing, how much contribution [Night Curtain] has made for Da Xia, and how many miracles he has created …… He is like the father of [Night Curtain], witnessing their growth, and because of this, he is not willing to see this team, ultimately ushering in the worst possible ending.
”So, don’t go to the Heavenly Court, don’t do something stupid …… This is an order.” Zuo Qing’s tone was firm and incomparable.
He took out a thick document from a drawer and placed it in front of Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan, his voice a little milder, and
”With An Qingyu leaving the team, the [Night’s Watch] squad will only have the two of you for the time being, but it shouldn’t take long for Caran to recover and return, and by then you’ll be three, and the [Night’s Watch] won’t be forced to disband because of the number of people being too small.
This is the roster of all the active Nightwatchmen, you guys can take a look at it first, and select some of the elites from it to join you, to make up for the lack of numbers.”
Lin Qiye silently looked at the roster of the Night’s Watch in front of him and didn’t extend his hand.
After an unknown amount of time, he took a deep breath and slowly pushed the roster back in front of Zuo Qing.
”I’m sorry, Commander Zuo …… I don’t have any plans to expand with new members yet.”
As the words fell, Lin Qiye said no more and directly turned around and walked towards the door of the Commander-in-Chief’s office, Cao Yuan didn’t even glance at the roster and calmly followed closely behind.
Bang–!
As those two crimson figures went far away, the door to the office closed with a muffled thud.
Inside the empty room, Zuo Qing helplessly closed his eyes, leaned his body against the back of the chair, and let out a long sigh ……
Heavenly Court.
”Is the Gate of Truth …… ……”
After An Qingyu listened to Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Father’s answer, bitterness surfaced in her eyes, “So, as long as I live, it will speed up the recovery of the Gate of Truth, and ultimately turn into the [Key of the Gate]?”
Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father nodded in silence.
”But there’s one thing that I’m still not quite sure about.” An Qingyu paused for a moment, “If the Gate of Truth is revived because of me, will it be me who becomes the [Key to the Gate], or will the [Key to the Gate] borrow my body to be reborn?”
”Neither.” Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father shook his head, “[Key of the Door] is the embodiment of truth, He is a part of the truth and the keeper of the Door of Truth……. Saying it this way you may not quite understand, do you know about the Artifact Spirit?”
”It’s that kind of spirit that the artifacts harbor?”
”That’s right, the [Key of the Gate] is, in a sense, the artifact spirit of the Gate of Truth, so He Himself doesn’t die, because Truth never wears out, and the only way to destroy Him is to destroy the Gate of Truth itself, thus allowing the artifact spirit of the [Key of the Gate] to fall into a dormant sleep that is infinitely close to death, and the Ancestral Deities of the year, did just that.
Your existence, on the other hand, is allowing the Gate of Truth to continuously repair itself, and the moment it is completely restored, the [Key of the Gate] will naturally wake up …… Strictly speaking, you are different individuals, but your destinies are closely linked, just like a divine artifact and an artifact spirit.
Put it this way, can you understand?”
An Qingyu nodded, “I understand.”
”Then …… what are you planning to do?” Jiang Er’s lips pursed slightly.
Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father looked at An Qingyu in a complicated manner, and after a long period of silence, he slowly opened his mouth, “The simplest and most direct method is to kill you, so that your divine soul will be destroyed, and in this way the Gate of Truth will have no possibility of revival ……”
Hearing these words, Jiang’er’s gaze froze and his face suddenly paled.
An Qingyu only nodded calmly, “This is indeed the most stable and cost-effective, as long as you kill me, you can stop the revival of a grammatical Three Pillar God.”
His expression did not change in the slightest, as if what he was talking about was not his own death, but a rigorous scientific argument.
”But, I don’t want to do that.” Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father said slowly, “The key to stopping the recovery of the Gate of Truth is to make it stop deconstructing the world, you are like the eyes of the Gate of Truth, as long as you are allowed to completely strip this world, it naturally won’t be able to continue its recovery.”
”Strip this world …… How should this be done?”
”Seal you.”
Around Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father’s body, a faint halo of light emerged, interweaving into countless complicated dao patterns, displaying them in front of An Qingyu’s body, “Gathering the power of all the gods of our Great Xia, I will lay down ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine seals on you, sealing off every inch of your skin and your soul, and then sinking you into the Heavenly Court’s Spirit Abyss, you can be completely cut off from this world… …
In this way, both your life can be preserved and the revival of the [Key of the Gate] can be stopped.”
An Qingyu froze for a long time and laughed helplessly, “Sounds like some sort of punishment …… This is to make me suffer eternal loneliness?”
”No, the seal will seal your thoughts and senses, you won’t feel any passage of time, no matter how long you are sunk into the Spirit Abyss, it will just be a doze for you, you won’t feel any emotions including loneliness.”
Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father paused, “An Qingyu, don’t worry, as long as Poor Tao is still alive, he will definitely keep searching for a way to completely exterminate the [Key to the Gate]. There will always be a day when you will see the light of day …… but this time may take a long time, perhaps a hundred years, a thousand years, or even …… ten thousand years.”
An Qingyu gazed at Ling Bao Tianzun for a moment and smiled slightly, “I believe in you, no matter if you are Baili Chubby or Ling Bao Tianzun, I believe in you …… But, I still have one more question.”
An Qingyu stretched out her hand and pointed at Jiang’er beside her.
”If I am sealed, then her, what should I do?”
