Chapter 1195: Chapter 555: Farewell Forever_3
With each word He spoke, His body continued to crumble.
Yet He was indifferent.
Because when Gu Jianlin awoke, He had already lost.
Noble as a God, even if countless eons of plans were ultimately reduced to ruin, and eternal life was set to wither away, He showed no emotion.
He seemed to accept everything calmly.
Snap.
A crisp snap of the fingers.
The two corpses in the altar were burned by the Sun’s flames, turning to ashes.
Gu Jianlin erased their last traces from the world.
The Vermilion Bird Venerate showed a look of regret, lying on the ground, gasping as he looked up at the azure sky and laughed, "Is this my punishment?"
Gu Jianlin shook his head.
"I thought when I saw them, I’d feel jealous or angry."
He said softly, "But in reality, I didn’t."
The Vermilion Bird Venerate chuckled silently, "Yes, you were like this as a child, never the kind of kid people liked, nor did you ever seek affection."
Gu Jianlin never showed envy or jealousy.
He never resented his divorced parents.
He was an understanding child who didn’t trouble others.
Even without love, he lived well on his own.
"I won’t let you have your way, so they’re destined not to resurrect."
Gu Jianlin said expressionlessly, "In fact, I have no issue with your wife and child, but remember this... the ones who killed them were you, not me, not mom, nor Uncle Mu, nor Tang Zijing, nor Aunt Han Jing or Uncle Fu Qingxuan."
"Not the Grandmaster, not the Grandmaster’s wife, certainly not Gold or silver..."
He spoke many names: "Not the teacher, nor Gu Ci’an."
The Vermilion Bird Venerate saw him crouch down, with the tip of his right index finger on his forehead.
"You raised me, you know my temperament."
Gu Jianlin said softly, "I’m competitive."
The Vermilion Bird Venerate’s face cracked piece by piece as he laughed, "Indeed, you do nothing or you do it to win once you’ve decided."
"You shouldn’t have provoked me; when we played chess as children, you never beat me."
Gu Jianlin acknowledged, "And the reason I must defeat you is to seek justice for those people. While you’re the greatest life in the world, you neglect respect for life. You’ve forgotten who you were initially."
The Vermilion Bird Venerate closed his eyes and said blandly: "Is that so?"
"One last question."
"Ask."
"Did you foresee such a conclusion before deciding on rebirth?"
"No."
"Oh."
Gu Jianlin’s right hand trembled slightly, without showing disappointment.
"I’ll use Primordial strength to kill you endlessly through time."
He said softly, "Farewell."
The Vermilion Bird Venerate closed his eyes: "Farewell."
Gu Jianlin’s hand gently passed through His forehead.
Calm and serene winds.
The sunlight no longer scorched, warm and gentle.
The snow and wind became tame, resting on the withering lotus.
Gu Jianlin’s hair fluttered in the wind, his clothes flapping.
The God who closed his eyes seemed weathered for millennia, finally dispersing into the wind.
The earth echoed with the sorrowful cries of the birds.
The fire finally extinguished.
Gu Jianlin closed his eyes.
An endless storm surged, screeching horns on the blazing highway, facing beast-like trucks and spinning cars in the rain.
In the life-and-death crisis, the father broke free of his seatbelt, wanting to embrace his son.
But this time, the son reached out and pushed him away.
"Goodbye."
He said calmly, "I walk my own path."
With a loud boom, accompanied by the Vermilion Bird Venerate’s vanishing into ashes. The Ghostly Glowing Lotus was swallowed by endless Sun God Fire, reviving vengeful screams amid rolling smoke.
Like a God cursing the world.
On October 30, 2032, the Earth and Ancient God Realm’s millions-year war history ended, God and humanity reconciled, destiny’s cage shattered at last.
Grievance and love, like snow melting in sunlight.
Finally landed somewhere in the world.
