Chapter 2063 - 1635: Farewell Forever, My Daughter!

In the haze, Gu Changsheng could only see before her the boundless Holy Golden light, transforming into star-like specks that continually covered the sky above, where lay crisscrossing chains. These chains bore an infinite destructive power...

For some reason, in that instant, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt as though her heart had been hollowed out, experiencing heart-wrenching pain!

This pain was different from the physical pain. It originated from within, leaving Gu Changsheng without the ability to resist...

"No..."

Unconsciously, Gu Changsheng struggled to extend her hand towards the gradually fading Holy Golden light, shouting hoarsely...

No...

No to what?

Gu Changsheng did not know!

She only knew she did not want to witness the scene before her eyes, a rejection from her very soul, a pain from her very heart that made her refuse to see this scene...

It was as if something important, something more vital to her than life, was disappearing right before her...

Never to return...

"Goodbye, my daughter..."

A barely audible whisper came from the air, and the next moment, the Holy Golden light disappeared. Under the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, only the crisscrossing chains remained, and those chains, too, seemed to lose their aim at the same time, starting to swirl and disperse in the air...

The boundless power of destruction also slowly faded, disappearing...

Gu Changsheng did not know that this sight would be a final farewell, nor did she understand what she was losing at this moment. She only knew that both her body and heart were in immense pain, unbearable pain, without rhyme or reason...

The pain that suffocated her, the pain that made her feel as though she were dying...

The last ounce of Gu Changsheng’s reason lingered on the disappearing Holy Golden specks before her. The pain from her heart and the body-wide pain akin to being bitten once more pushed her into a coma...

And as Gu Changsheng fell into a coma, the Crystal Mausoleum, fragmented into dust by the Chaos Shackles, slowly gathered dotted light specks, carrying the fragmented scenes that had unfolded beneath the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms...

Those scenes invisible to Gu Changsheng, the last appearance of Ta You while Gu Changsheng was in a coma, and the Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness, stretching across countless timespaces, which she could not witness while awake—all transformed into fragments of memory, gathering with the crystal dust, ultimately...

Condensed into a mottled Crystal Ball, resembling the memory forcibly extracted by Ta You from within Gu Changsheng inside the Star Innate Tower, the Crystal Ball containing today’s memories gradually took shape, ultimately concealed within the ruins of the Crystal Mausoleum...

And Gu Changsheng, confused in her coma due to boundless pain, was oblivious, only feeling as though she were about to be swallowed by the great waves, floating and sinking in an endless ocean, each wash of the waves bringing her endless pain, a heart-gnawing pain, repeatedly destroying Gu Changsheng’s will as if dragging her into an endless abyss...

Time slipped away, moment by moment...

And at that very moment, Zhou Mu and his group, now at the edge of the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, were scared stiff by what they saw...

They did not know how they reached the other shore of the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms; it all seemed to happen in an instant. All they knew was that one moment, there was the boundless, unfathomable Broken Cliff in front of them, and the next moment, they were standing firmly on solid ground!

Looking back again, the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms had already transformed into a bottomless abyss, beneath which black clouds churned, mountain winds howled, as if aiming to shatter everything...

"Changsheng..."

Zhou Mu gazed in a trance at the completely transformed, no longer serene and unruffled Broken Cliff, with a gut feeling that something had happened. Almost immediately, he rushed back towards the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms with astonishing speed...

But just as Zhou Mu rushed forward, an invisible wall appeared before him, bouncing him back...

"Changsheng! Changsheng!"

Unrelenting, Zhou Mu crashed again, but no matter how much strength he used, the invisible wall blocking him from the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms remained unmoved; he could not pass even an inch...

"Zhou Mu, don’t be impulsive!" Shi Wujue reached out, pulling the nearly frantic Zhou Mu, his face, normally awe-inspiring to the world, now full of worry and urgency as he looked toward the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, now transformed into a bottomless abyss...

"How could it be like this? How could it be like this? What exactly happened? Where is my wife? Could she be beneath this abyss? What is below? Will my wife come back? Will she come back?" Yuan Bao’s face was already tearful, anxiously pounding against the invisible barrier, yet unable to move any further...

"Why is it like this? Why is it like this? What on earth happened? What exactly happened?" Even Baby Jin Bao was stunned by the scene before him. Born in this Divine Mount Qilian, living for hundreds of years on this Qilian, he had never seen even a ripple in the seemingly unchanged Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms...

But now, everything was different!

The Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms swallowed Gu Changsheng and directly sent them across to the other shore. Not only that, the Trick technique on the Broken Cliff, bearing people across, inexplicably vanished in a moment...

The Trick technique disappeared, yet no one could reach the bottom of the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms anymore...

This Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms seems to have been isolated from the world just like that!

Why is this?

What really happened after Gu Changsheng, that woman, fell down? What caused the entire Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms to change?

Moreover, Baby Jin Bao even keenly sensed that at just that moment, he felt the brilliance of the sun dimming, felt the boundless, destructive pressure coming from behind...

What exactly happened?

What did Gu Changsheng encounter beneath the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms?

Is she still alive?

Can she still come out alive from beneath the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms?

At this moment, Baby Jin Bao was suddenly not so certain...

Stumbling back a step, Baby Jin Bao sat on the ground with a thump, murmuring in a lost and disconsolate tone, "Gu Changsheng, you will surely be alright; you are the only person in this Post-Ancient Era who might become a god—how could anything happen to you? You will surely come out safe and sound, right? This Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms has been safe for thousands of years, always without danger..."

Yet, it was precisely when Gu Changsheng stepped onto this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms that everything became different...

Is it because she is Gu Changsheng? Or is it because the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms was waiting for Gu Changsheng all along?

Baby Jin Bao didn’t know, but as a spirit, the power of perception he possessed made him feel that everything seems to have been predestined in the dark...

But what is truly predestined?

Looking at the two almost mad men in front of him, Baby Jin Bao didn’t know what to say...

He is not human; he doesn’t understand human emotions and pain, but he can see that Gu Changsheng is very important to these two men...

More important than their lives...

"Is this fate? Gu Changsheng, wherever you go, all hidden secrets will open because of you—the only woman in the Post-Ancient Era who might become a god—the path you must walk is perhaps destined to be unlike ordinary people..." Raising his head and gazing at the sun hanging high in the sky, Baby Jin Bao murmured softly...

Because only an extraordinary path can create extraordinary people...

Otherwise, how could she become the only god in the Post-Ancient Era?

At this moment, Baby Jin Bao didn’t know, perhaps originally Gu Changsheng had the potential to become a god...

But everything deviated from its original trajectory after the remnants of Ta You’s will completely perished...

In this world, there is no longer anything beyond humanity controlling Gu Changsheng’s life...

Her life, from now on, belongs only to herself, and will be carried out according to the path she envisions...

Ta You defied the arrangements planned during the Ancient Wilderness era and did not want Gu Changsheng to become a god, nor wanted her to become another him in this world...

With sacrificial words coming true, Gu Changsheng, in this life and forever, is destined never to become a god...

This is the curse of the gods—the highest curse set by the Divine Venerable using their own existence—capable of surpassing the rules of heaven and earth, unchangeable...

Undying and unhurt, not becoming god...

Abandoned by heaven, not belonging to all heavens...

This is the final curse laid down before Ta You and Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness’s will completely vanished from the world...

Yet at this moment, experiencing the baptism of Divine Blood, if Gu Changsheng cannot become god, what can she become?

The curse of undying, unhurt, and not becoming god is bound to come true, but where will Gu Changsheng’s life trajectory lead?

That is not the key; the key is that undying and unhurt does not mean not being in pain...

At this time, Gu Changsheng is in agony, homeless and drifting, unable to find The Other Shore or a way to redeem herself...

Gu Changsheng never knew that living could be so painful, and it’s the first time experiencing the feeling Shi Wujue had, of even being unable to die, because she too cannot die; there are still too many things she hasn’t done, she cannot die...
