Chapter 251 - Wish Fulfilled, Obsession Finally Scatters
Having rushed over, Zhao Mengyou saw Gu Han and Chu Kuang ignite their soul power one after the other.
She went pale, murmuring to herself, “Crazy! They’re both crazy!”
“Burning soul power—” Di Kan watched and shook his head repeatedly. However, his eyes went wide as soon as he saw Gu Han. “Is he really risking his life?”
Under normal circumstances, burning soul power left only a one-in-ten-thousand chance of survival. With enough luck, one could even reach the Divine Connection realm’s Supreme Stage and gain the coveted thousand-zhang divine sense. However, using power above the Saint realm within the Profound Pill Pavilion? That was asking for death!
***
Chu Kuang knew how crazy he was, but he never imagined Gu Han would be even crazier.
The moment he saw the Nine-Chi Coiled Dragon Seal, he instinctively tried to retreat. “Gu Han!”
However, it was too late. A soft squish echoed as a sword pierced into him. Countless tiny strands of sword qi roamed incessantly, constantly destroying his qi.
At the same time, even though Gu Han hadn’t activated the dragon seal, the faint mist sensed the Saint realm power and gathered around them.
Chu Kuang was in despair. “Then let’s die together!”
He also took out that three-chi-long Saint Weapon dagger, accelerating the converging mist.
Gu Han stared fixedly at him. “I told you, if I want to kill you, no one can stop me.”
Without hesitation, he activated his seal. A ten-plus-zhang red colossal dragon appeared above them, about to tear into Chu Kuang.
Chu Kuang gritted his teeth. “Go to hell!”
The dagger in his hand flew out, meeting the colossal dragon. A power far beyond his current level erupted, supremely overbearing and peerless. It immediately tangled with the dragon.
The layer of hazy mist enveloped them. Silently and soundlessly, the dragon and the supreme dagger were annihilated, disappearing without a trace. Even the Saint Weapons were powerless before time power.
Of course, Gu Han and Chu Kuang were also affected. They aged instantly. In just a short moment, the two youths’ hair went white. Their backs were hunched, and indistinguishable from those mortal elders on the verge of death. They were already half-buried in the ground.
In the distance, Murong Yan and Shen Xuan could no longer care about attacking Yuan Gang. They rushed over recklessly.
“Brother Gu!”
Di Kan shook his head as if he had already witnessed their end. “What a pity. One with eight bell rings and another with nine bell rings. Originally proud talents, yet they’ve ended up like this.”
Zhao Mengyou stared at Gu Han with complex emotions. “Pity? If he hadn’t been so hell-bent on avenging that meaningless hatred, how could he have ended up like this?”
Di Kan glanced at her. “Sure enough, women are just cold-blooded!”

Within the light mist, Chu Kuang asked Gu Han like a madman, “Was it worth it?! Was it worth it?! Was it worth it!?”
Sensing his own changes, Gu Han nodded. “Killing you is worth it!”
If he died, he should be able to break free. With him here, and with Zuo Yang and Yu Miao, Ah Sha would definitely be fine. She would just be sad for a while.
Sorry, Ah Sha, but some things really are more important than life.
In that instant, multiple thoughts flashed through his mind. Seemingly thinking of something else, he turned his head with difficulty and looked at Dan Chen. The humanoid figure was dissolving, already blurry and indistinct.
“Oh, right. I won!”
He had a premonition that with Mo Huaiyuan’s disappearance, the time power had likely undergone a mutation. This obsession would probably scatter just like that, never appearing before the world again. Then, this was his last chance.
“Having waited so many years, you all should also get a good rest.”
After hearing these words, Dan Chen stopped dissolving and started trembling. The same went for the other humanoid figures within the plaza. Although Gu Han’s voice wasn’t loud, it seemed they had heard it completely clearly.
In that instant, dozens of humanoid figures gathered toward Gu Han. As the power of time flowed, their forms grew less transparent, faint traces of their past appearances emerging.
Young, middle-aged, and old alike, all were dressed in alchemist robes. Though Gu Han had never seen their faces, he knew they were the alchemists who had left behind their obsessions within the Profound Pill Camp. Those poor souls who had waited for countless years!
He smiled. “I won. You don’t have to wait any longer.”
Those humanoid figures seemed to understand him. They were silent for a moment before a hint of joy and relief appeared on their faces. All of them bowed in unison.
Zhao Mengyou’ eyes widened. “W-what’s going on?”
Upon seeing the style of the uniform robes, Di Kan was in disbelief. “Alchemists! So they were all once alchemists inside here!”
After the humanoid figures bowed, Dan Chen smiled silently. He flickered and vanished into the layer of light mist above.
Gu Han was dazed for a moment. He felt very familiar, yet also very unfamiliar with this young man. He was the youngest, and most talented alchemist in the Profound Pill Camp, Dan Chen. It wasn’t just him. Without hesitation, the other alchemists immediately cast themselves into the light mist.
In that instant, the strand of time power falling upon them was neutralized. Ordinary obsessions wouldn’t have been able to do such a thing. However, Dan Chen and the others had seemingly mutated, making the impossible possible.
Perhaps they instinctively felt that Gu Han had done so much for them. Even after a million years had passed, and they had transformed into something else, they still remembered this kindness. Thus, they blocked the erosion of time power for Gu Han as their final act before disappearing.
Gu Han was slightly dazed. He couldn’t communicate with these humanoid figures, nor did he know if they had mistaken him for someone else like Mo Huaiyuan.
However, judging from Dan Chen’s sincere smile, the group of alchemists seemed to believe his words without a doubt. Even if they dispersed, they had no regrets. Maybe for them, this was already the best outcome.
After a moment of silence, he also solemnly bowed to the group. Safe travels, all the way!
Zhao Mengyou was completely bewildered. “What’s going on? Why?!”
Di Kan regretfully stared at the increasingly unstable scenery around them. “Never mind that! I’m afraid that this place is about to disappear!”
As the obsessions of the group of alchemists dispersed, the Profound Pill Camp seemed to have finally fulfilled its mission. Whether it was the distant palaces or the scenery within the plaza, everything grew faintly transparent, and one could even vaguely glimpse the outside.
