A series of anxious voices penetrated Gu Changsheng’s ears.

Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes, teary and hollow, slowly lowered and closed beneath the frantic cries of the crowd...

His hand, slowly moving away from the coffin, tightly embraced his sobbing son in his arms. When Gu Changsheng opened his eyes again, there was no trace of tears in his phoenix eyes...

Sitting before the coffin, Gu Changsheng held his son, glanced around, and then a resolute determination flashed in his eyes, and he spoke in a deep voice, "The day Zhou Mu awakens will be the day we head north!"

As he spoke, Gu Changsheng reached out a hand again, gently placing it upon the coffin, with a hint of tears in his eyes, but his lips slowly curled into a smile, continuing, "I want to catch my parents, find that sliver of vitality in this bizarre world! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will never give up!"

Saying this, Gu Changsheng stood up slowly, holding the little meat bun.

Seeing Gu Changsheng approach, Borjigin Nian and others instinctively stepped aside to make way...

Gu Changsheng, embraced the still sobbing little meat bun, walked through the path made by the crowd!

Watching Gu Changsheng’s retreating figure, the crowd exchanged glances...

"Well, Little Monk Bu Jie merely uttered those words casually, and yet, Gu Changsheng seems to have taken them seriously..." Borjigin Nian said worriedly, unable to conceal his concern.

Everyone knew that during Gu Changsheng’s moment of Demon Fall, Little Monk Bu Jie had said something.

Despite not hearing those words firsthand, they had heard them through the little meat bun’s retelling.

But those words, in their hearts, were nothing more than Bu Jie’s casual remarks to stir Gu Changsheng’s will to survive.

In reality, from beginning to end, they never believed there truly existed something in this world capable of bringing the dead back to life!

God?

They had seen one, and that was the Manman Bug, the god most unlike a god!

However, the Southern Border Witch Gu Clan was inherently a mysterious tribe, possessing things like the Manman Bug, which were not humans, was unsurprising. But even the Manman Bug had no way to bring the dead back to life, right?

If the Manman Bug had no solution, could other gods?

Whether or not other gods exist in this world, the very notion of resurrection seemed unbelievably absurd to them!

Because of Gu Changsheng’s obsession, he was trapped within, blinded by the situation, while outsiders like them saw clearly how difficult it was to revive someone who had died!

Of course, Eunuch Yuan Bao’s incident was an exception; many protected Yuan Bao with all their might back then!

Now, even those who had protected Yuan Bao had one less, how could they make the two lying in the coffin see the light of day again?

Should they really pin their hopes on that mythical Divine Demise Land in the Far North Land of Northern Mongolian?

This ethereal pursuit, this aimless chase, in the end, none of them knew how it would turn out!

"Even if what Bu Jie said was just casual talk, we have no choice but to treat it as true! We can only place our hopes on those so-called Tears of the Goddess! Otherwise, I don’t dare imagine what Gu Changsheng, in his desperation, might do!" The Medical Immortal Old Man glanced at Borjigin Nian with resignation in his old eyes.

Indeed!

Now, even if they didn’t believe, they had no choice but to believe!

Believe in what Little Monk Bu Jie said, believe it’s all true!

Just like Gu Changsheng’s choice, waking up and not seeking confirmation from Little Monk Bu Jie, but directly coming here...

Confirmation?

What is there to confirm?

Truth or falsehood, as long as there’s a glimmer of hope in the heart, isn’t it better than despair?

Gu Changsheng is like this, and as those around him, they too have no choice!

They can only choose to believe, believe in what Little Monk Bu Jie said, believe there is still a sliver of room for redemption!

"May the Longevity Heaven grant Gu Changsheng’s wish, granting him a family reunion!" Borjigin Nian clasped her hands together in silent prayer.

As a nomadic person, Borjigin Nian doesn’t worship gods or buddhas, she only believes in her Longevity Heaven, the deity that blesses her grassland people... with favorable weather...

Upon hearing Borjigin Nian’s low prayers, everyone couldn’t help but bow their heads, each letting out a long sigh...

The future remains unknown, and they can only hold onto their hopes and join Gu Changsheng on the northward journey! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Be it life or death, they’ve been with Gu Changsheng through those life-and-death trials in the ring, what’s to fear?

Time, in the silence of the crowd, flows gently.

Gu Changsheng woke up and immediately freed Zhou Mu from the Thousand-Year Cold Iron Shackles. She firmly believed that since she had awakened, her family’s evildoer would also break free from the abyss of Demon Fall for her!

For the two days after waking up, Gu Changsheng remained very silent. Except for staying by the side of the comatose Zhou Mu, she hardly moved, and as for Little Monk Bu Jie, she kept a polite distance from him...

It seemed like she was deliberately avoiding him; Gu Changsheng ignored anything related to Little Monk Bu Jie, neither listening nor asking!

She was afraid...

Afraid that she wouldn’t be able to resist asking if there truly was a Supreme Treasure in the Divine Demise Land that could bring her parents back to life!

Even more afraid of getting a negative answer!

This fear made Gu Changsheng not dare to see Little Monk Bu Jie, or to seek the truth...

Does it really matter if it’s true or not?

As long as Gu Changsheng believes, in this world that is entirely different from the time and space she was once in, there are always things beyond the realm of scientific explanation, aren’t there?

Since there’s transcendence, there can be possibilities!

Anything is possible!

Gu Changsheng firmly believes this, and her belief will never waver!

Placing the coffin containing her parents in the room closest to her, Gu Changsheng took over from her father and began her guardianship...

In the past, her father guarded her mother’s coffin.

Today, Gu Changsheng guards her parents’ coffin.

The slightly silent Gu Changsheng, within these two days, went several times to the backyard of the City Lord’s Mansion to check on Shi Wujue’s condition, but was always turned away by the guards of the inner courtyard!

They had already treated her group as honored guests, yet they completely sealed off the backyard, not allowing anyone to step even half a foot in!

Unable to see Shi Wujue, Gu Changsheng was always restless.

This matter is unrelated to love.

Even if they’re just ordinary friends, Gu Changsheng’s concern for someone who once lent her a helping hand is understandable!

Just like that, another two days passed, and just as everyone thought Gu Changsheng would continue to guard both the unconscious Zhou Mu and the coffin indefinitely, the arrival of a group changed the heavy atmosphere completely...

Not a group, to be more accurate, a single person!

Gu Changsheng had no idea how many people were guarding outside the City Lord’s Mansion, so when she saw the person led to her by Diao Chan, her usually expressionless face finally showed a hint of expression...

Staring at the very dark and stout person at the forefront, Gu Changsheng’s small face showed a hint of surprise...

This...

This dark, round person, why do they look so familiar?

"Waaah... Lady! Lady Changsheng! Oh, Lord of the Southern Emperor! Yuan Bao missed you terribly! Yuan Bao crossed mountains and rivers to see you, the journey long and arduous..." Crying with snot and tears, the filthy, unrecognizable eunuch jumped forward, clinging to Gu Changsheng’s leg, wailing miserably.

Gu Changsheng, caught off guard, was hugged tightly by Yuan Bao.

Her originally clean red dress was instantly stained with a patch of black grime...

This visitor!

This isn’t any stranger but Zhou Mu’s personal Great Eunuch, the chubby Eunuch Yuan Bao!

Looking at Yuan Bao, crying with snot and tears by her feet, and the endless stream of nonsensical words from his mouth, Gu Changsheng’s lips twitched involuntarily and couldn’t help but turn her head towards Diao Chan, who led this troublemaker in...

Diao Chan, feeling somewhat puzzled by her master’s gaze, raised a hand to touch her nose and awkwardly said, "Well, when I was checking from the city wall, I saw them messing around at the City Lord’s Mansion gate. I thought his figure looked familiar, so I went down..."

At this, Diao Chan paused, gave her master a meaningful look, pointed at Yuan Bao sprawled on the ground with a twitchy face, and continued, "Well, Master, you know, ordinary people just can’t grow to be like our Yuan Bao..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but let a slight smile spread across her lips!

Isn’t it true? Normal people trying to grow as plump and chubby as Yuan Bao indeed face a certain degree of difficulty!

"Waaah... Huh? Diao Chan, what do you mean by that? Can you hear yourself? Don’t think I’m scared of you just because you’re good at martial arts, I’m not shy of a fight!" Yuan Bao, crying merrily, stopped immediately upon hearing Diao Chan’s comment, raised his head, and began to scold her.

"Mm, mm, mm! You’re not shy of a fight, I know that!" Hearing this, Diao Chan nodded quickly and said seriously, "But only eating vegetables wouldn’t make you like this!"
