44: Gu Yan's Biggest Secret

Above the Nine Heavens of the Xuan Realm, in the silent Universe Void Realm.

A figure slowly walked forward.

In the distance, a golden speck of light, moving as fast as light, tirelessly fled towards the end of the Universe.

But alas, no matter how the golden speck of light fled, the figure behind it maintained a fixed distance, as if walking a dog.

"Interesting."

"Truly interesting. An extreme dao emperor weapon formed from a world's Origin is truly powerful."

"Getting you is much harder than imagined."

Chu Feng smiled faintly as he 'walked' the golden speck of light, not rushing to capture it.

The current turmoil in the Xuan Realm clearly had a huge impact on the golden speck of light.

He clearly sensed that the power of this golden speck of light was rapidly decaying at a visible speed, and it wouldn't be long before its aura and true form—the Eternal Gate—were completely exposed.

Buzz!

Buzz!

…

Just then, the golden speck of light, transformed from the Eternal Gate, emitted a sound with a peculiar rhythm.

"Chu Feng!! You lied to me!!"

Soon, an exasperated roar came from within the golden speck of light.

"Oh?"

"What did I lie to you about, little leek?"

Chu Feng smiled and asked casually.

Although the voice was somewhat harsh and sharp.

It was obvious without much thought that the aggrieved party who emitted this voice was Gu Yan, who had been swallowed by the Eternal Gate.

Gu Yan was in an extremely special state at this moment. After hearing Chu Feng's voice, he fled another ten thousand miles before answering sullenly, "This Gate was never yours!"

Chu Feng frowned and waved his hand, interrupting him, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is my Gate."

"I know the Gate's name is Eternal Gate. Do you know that?"

"You don't know. You only know to call it the Mysterious Gate."

System: "…"

Holy crap!!

Gu Yan was furious!

He was extremely frustrated. Only at this moment did he know the truth.

Because he knew the truth, Gu Yan's mentality completely collapsed!

How could there be such a shameless person in this world!

If he weren't in a special Chaos state with the Eternal Gate right now, he wouldn't have known the truth!

Sensing Chu Feng's matter-of-fact expression, Gu Yan retorted fiercely, "I am the Reincarnation of the Eternal Gate's artifact spirit! How dare you try to deceive me!?"

He understood everything!

Just now, he experienced a life-and-death crisis.

Chu Feng's strength was too great!

So great that the Eternal Gate couldn't protect him through conventional means.

The only way was to completely integrate him. From now on, he was the Eternal Gate, and the Eternal Gate was him!

It was precisely because of this that Gu Yan awakened his past life's memories.

It turned out he was the Reincarnation of the Eternal Gate's artifact spirit!

He had attempted to use this world and the residual power of the Eternal Gate to forge a new Dao, to prove the Dao through the artifact!

However, now everything was ruined!

Everything was ruined by this sudden enemy!

Gu Yan's mentality was even more collapsed than before!

Now that he had merged with the Eternal Gate, not only was this life completely ruined, but even the Eternal Gate's main body would be polluted.

To restore the Eternal Gate to its previous state would require thousands, even tens of thousands of years of nurturing, which was simply impossible.

Hearing Gu Yan's self-revelation, Chu Feng was also surprised: "What? You are the artifact spirit of the Eternal Gate?"

This was truly an unexpected yet reasonable development.

As expected of a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, his path was truly wild.

He seemed to have thought of something and frowned: "Doesn't that mean you are also mine?"

Gu Yan was stunned.

What the hell… are you saying???

Before he could retort, Chu Feng shook his head again: "No, absolutely not. I don't have a hobby of collecting men."

"Besides, how can a scumbag like you be the artifact spirit of the Eternal Gate?"

"Now that you mention it, the logic seems to hold. A mere extreme dao emperor weapon, what does it need an artifact spirit for? I'd better erase you."

As his words fell, Chu Feng directly waved his large hand and seized the golden speck of light in his grasp.

"I * ( ) &…!!!"

From within the golden speck of light came Gu Yan's 'elegant' Xuan Realm language.

He never would have imagined that after he revealed his identity, the other party would immediately capture him.

Nima!

How is that possible!

I was formed from the Origin of the Xuan Realm, and after merging with my true form, even if the other party is a Saint King, it's impossible to capture me.

What exactly is going on with this Chu Feng!?

Gu Yan's mentality truly collapsed completely.

He originally thought he had lost everything, but relying on the power of the Origin, he could at least escape and find a secluded place to recuperate. But now, it seemed he had thought too much!

The other party captured him with ease, as if he really was just a leek, to be harvested however they pleased.

"Heh heh, don't rush."

Chu Feng chuckled, scolding, "I haven't even blamed you for disrupting my wedding yet."

"Besides, if you're caught by me, you can only blame your little childhood friend."

Didn't you invite me, you bastard???

And you dare to blame me for disrupting it??

Gu Yan was furious!

Also, little childhood friend?

What does that mean?

Gu Yan froze. He immediately realized that the little childhood friend was Bai Xin'er.

What does this have to do with that little girl, Bai Xin'er?

Although there had been some unpleasant arguments with Bai Xin'er back in the Wasteland Small World, Gu Yan had never blamed Bai Xin'er.

That girl was always straightforward, and it was normal for her to occasionally do foolish things.

But Bai Xin'er had him in her heart, Gu Yan knew that clearly.

To have reached this point, Bai Xin'er was his last White Moonlight.

But now, hearing the meaning in this devil Chu Feng's words, could it be… his White Moonlight also had problems??

Chu Feng felt the golden speck of light in his hand, emitting scorching light. The temperature was enough to incinerate an ocean, yet in his palm, it only gave off a tiny hint of warmth.

Within the light, a faint outline was already visible.

Square angles and an ancient, desolate aura were gradually appearing.

This meant that a huge change had occurred in the Xuan Realm, its Origin was beginning to be damaged, and it would soon be unable to conceal the true form of the Eternal Gate.

With a deep smile, he refined this supreme treasure while whispering to Gu Yan like a demon, "Are you surprised?"

"I'm not a god, so how could I know what you're going to do for no reason?"

"Every cause has its effect, everything leaves traces, right?"

Gu Yan: "…What exactly do you want to say?"

Chu Feng smiled faintly, holding the golden speck of light, and turned back towards the direction of the Xuan Realm's great land. With a single stride, he traversed an infinite distance and returned to the Xuan Realm.

The surrounding scenery changed: mountains, seas, lakes, giant trees, abysses…

Scenes unfolded beneath his feet.

"Quick! Stop these guys!"

"The Demon Subduing Magic Array is broken! It's over, we're all finished."

"Ah ah ah ah! Saint Tianyu has fallen, how could this be?!"

…

Shouts, roars, howls…

Rising and falling, echoing throughout the entire Xuan Realm.

At this moment, the Xuan Realm was in Chaos. Everywhere, the surging Qi of Xuan Realm powerhouses was erupting.

However, the entire Xuan Realm seemed to be enveloped in a shadow. People were constantly being severely injured, and people were constantly falling.

"Three Demon Subduing Magic Arrays have been destroyed."

"Gu Yan, do you see? This prosperous era is as you wished."

"It shouldn't be long before the passages beneath the Demon Subduing Magic Arrays are connected."

"It's truly a time of trouble. Gu Yan, who do you think is behind all this?"

Chu Feng squinted his eyes and said softly, enticing Gu Yan.
