Chapter 2002 - 1581: Divine Soul Injury—Rejected by Heaven?

Gu Changsheng heard this and thought to himself, it’s over!

As expected, what you fear comes true. When you’ve done something guilty, you inevitably start fearing ghosts knocking at your door!

Damn it, the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp was useless for her Divine Soul Injury, so Gu Changsheng had already given up; therefore, she could ignore the mention of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp. However, the dog from the House of Jiu Yu...

That was indeed Gu Changsheng’s doing!

What should be done?

Could it be that these few experts would suddenly plummet in status and be labeled dog thieves?

This feeling is definitely not pleasant!

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a bit of pain in his teeth, couldn’t help but lean towards her own evildoer, and whispered, "Damn it, you shouldn’t have destroyed the watchdog’s body..."

Her evildoer’s subordinate was too quick!

To prevent any traces from being discovered, they had outright destroyed the watchdog’s body in the blink of an eye!

If the dog’s body was still there, maybe the people from the House of Jiu Yu would assume the dog died suddenly, and wouldn’t suspect anything about stealing. But with the dog mysteriously disappearing, it could only mean a thief took it...

But Gu Changsheng really didn’t want to be a dog thief!

That’s not the outcome she wanted!

"The issue isn’t with the dog!" Quickly, Jin Luoyi gave a response.

Gu Changsheng felt relieved upon hearing this!

Thank goodness, the matter of killing the watchdog had not been exposed!

But then Gu Changsheng realized something off...

If it wasn’t the dog-stealing matter, then why did Jin Luoyi bring up the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp?

In her heart, Gu Changsheng suddenly had a bad premonition. This feeling intensified when she saw the determined and gloating expressions on Jin Luoyi and Elder Jin’s faces...

This made Gu Changsheng’s heart tighten...

"Where is the problem then? Could it be that the experts and the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp are somehow related?" Gu Changsheng had a bad feeling, while those around were puzzled, and someone immediately asked.

"You guessed right, this woman is indeed related to the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp! Everyone in Smelting City knows, the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp was forged by Jiu Yu for her late husband, possessing the ability to heal Divine Soul Injury. To speak nicely, it’s an injury; to speak bluntly, it’s about madmen and fools unless someone chooses to sink into madness or is harmed by external force... But how can someone harm a person’s Divine Soul in this world? The Divine Soul is intangible, who can harm it? So we often say, those with Divine Soul Injury are not accepted by the heavens! Haha..." Jin Luoyi explained at length, then pointed with his long hand, once more at Gu Changsheng, and said in a deep voice, "And she, this woman, I want to tell you, she has Divine Soul Injury on her. But she’s not mad or foolish, seems ordinary, yet once emotions fluctuate too much, the Divine Soul wanes, which is typical of external force harming the Divine Soul! Human external force naturally cannot harm the Divine Soul, so she is one who is not accepted by the heavens!"

Gu Changsheng heard this and immediately widened her eyes in shock, and couldn’t help but clench her hand under her sleeves.

Jin Luoyi was right, Jin Luoyi was all correct!

She suffered from Divine Soul Injury, harmed by external force, now with mood fluctuations forbidden, unable to control her strength, extremely prone to Divine Soul waning...

But how did Jin Luoyi know?

How could he know it so clearly?

Gu Changsheng’s gaze immediately drifted towards Elder Jin lying in the wheelchair, seeing the full look of amusement on his old face, Gu Changsheng shook her head.

It’s not him!

Not Elder Jin!

Elder Jin had crossed swords with her, couldn’t even resist her power, this person couldn’t possibly see through her!

Then, who could it be?

Jiu Yu?

Jiu Yu is reclusive and eccentric, naturally wouldn’t share her matters with outsiders, so it likely isn’t her...

Gu Changsheng’s gaze slowly moved behind Elder Jin, where three people stood, two women and one man, all wearing veiled hats, from their figures, they were young...

It’s these three, Gu Changsheng couldn’t see through them, and whenever they passed by her, Gu Changsheng always had an illusion of being pricked at her back...

Could it be them?

Who are they?

Why are they going against her?

To expose her Divine Soul Injury?

What benefit does this bring them?

Gu Changsheng couldn’t figure it out...

Could it be that these three people are sent by the Sand Sea Wolf Tribe?

Thinking about the message Landuoer brought before setting off to Divine Mount Qilian, saying that people from the Royal City would also come to Divine Mount Qilian, and then looking at these three people who seemed to be indifferent to everything yet always gave Gu Changsheng an awkward feeling, Gu Changsheng felt even more uncertain...

And just as Gu Changsheng was distracted, Jin Luoyi had already pointed at Gu Changsheng, and with a resolute expression, made a concluding remark, "That’s right, it’s this woman, it’s her, afflicted with a Divine Soul Injury, one who is rejected by the heavens!"

Jin Luoyi’s words instantly plunged the main hall of the Mercenary Alliance into an eerie silence.

Everyone looked at Gu Changsheng, their expressions filled with shock, which then turned into deeper dread...

Those who scramble through the mountains and tread the seas are the most devoted believers of deities!

The mountain people believe in the Mountain God, and the sea people believe in the Sea God...

"An external force inflicted Divine Soul Injury? Rejected by the heavens! Could it be that she has offended the Mountain God?"

"Godfather! To think she was injured by an external force on her Divine Soul, now I understand why she was so lethargic after knocking down Elder Jin with one kick yesterday!"

"Yeah, yeah, do you guys remember, she was carried away by that man in the end!"

"Divine Soul Injury, rejected by the heavens! She really has a Divine Soul Injury, really!"

"..."

Shocked voices erupted around, and the crowd looked at Gu Changsheng as if they had seen a snake or scorpion.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt a surge of anger, but she still took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart!

Dear me, I’m not angry, I can’t get angry!

With my Divine Soul Injury, it’s vital to avoid emotional ups and downs, let’s not get angry, not get angry...

Yet, despite forcibly calming herself, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but cast a steely gaze around her.

Damn it, what nonsense are they all spouting!

My Divine Soul Injury was inflicted before coming to Divine Mount Qilian, what does it have to do with your Mountain God?

Moreover, your so-called Mountain God is right in front of you now, and you still can’t help but fake this devout act, for whose benefit?

Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but turn her head and glare at Baby Jin Bao with gritted teeth.

Baby Jin Bao was so startled by Gu Changsheng’s glare that he shrunk further into Yuan Bao’s broad arms...

Wuwu...

What did he do to deserve this?

He was just resting in Yuan Bao’s arms for a little while, how did he become the target?

Saying Gu Changsheng offended the Mountain God and got the Divine Soul Injury, stop kidding around, he is the Mountain God of Divine Mount Qilian, and now he’s sticking to Gu Changsheng like a loyal follower!

Let alone causing her a Divine Soul Injury, Baby Jin Bao claims that as the Mountain God, he can’t even beat Gu Changsheng, for crying out loud!

Slander!

This is blatant slander, red-handed slander!

To impose more crimes, what is there to not find? He is truly wronged! He’s just a child, why is every fault pushed onto him? Can they still have normal fun?

No one could understand the grief and indignation in Jin Bao’s heart, but Gu Changsheng, seeing the agitated crowd around her, looked increasingly solemn...

Ancient people frustrated, believing firmly in supernatural strange powers, anything that couldn’t be explained was attributed to strange powers and instantly made sense, this is truly a good answer that solves all unknown problems!

However, Gu Changsheng did not like this kind of answer, especially when the answer was thrust upon her!

"Afflicted with a Divine Soul Injury, means rejected by the heavens?" Gu Changsheng stared at the culprit Jin Luoyi, a fierce arc slightly curling her lips, her face full of a cold smile.

"Yes... yes!" Jin Luoyi was so frightened by Gu Changsheng’s gaze that he instinctively shrunk, but upon recovering, he immediately responded in a deep voice.

"Then, if you or someone by your side also suffers from a Divine Soul Injury, what would you say to that?" Gu Changsheng asked, her smile growing even more intense.

Ha! Having a Divine Soul Injury, rejected by the heavens!

Gu Changsheng absolutely refuses to believe this nonsense!

"You! What are you saying?" Jin Luoyi’s eyes widened in terror, looking at Gu Changsheng incredulously, completely unable to comprehend what she was saying.

"I said, if you or someone by your side also suffers from the same Divine Soul Injury as I do, experiencing the feeling of being rejected by the heavens that you speak of, how would you feel about that?" Gu Changsheng’s face bloomed with a smile, like poppies on the banks of the Oblivion River, both alluring and eerie.

Jin Luoyi was dazzled by Gu Changsheng’s smile for a moment but immediately shook his head, resolutely declaring, "Impossible! Stop speaking nonsense here, a Divine Soul Injury means being rejected by the heavens, because ordinary people simply can’t inflict injuries on others’ Divine Souls, that’s a power only the deities of heaven and earth possess! You woman, just admit it, you definitely did some heinous crime to be rejected by the heavens, receiving such retribution!"

"Retribution? Haha..." Gu Changsheng laughed aloud upon hearing this, her laughter arrogant and unrestrained, filled with endless disdain. When the laughter ceased, she looked at Jin Luoyi with an imperious arc at the corner of her mouth, "I don’t believe in heaven, don’t revere deities, nor believe in cause and effect. Since you firmly believe in this, then..."
