Chapter 2075 - 1647: Power of Demon Control, Transformation of the Brow Mark

But Gu Changsheng was different!

She really could control that hidden strand of Demonic Qi inside her body!

And for her, it came as easily as lifting a hand, it had always been simple!

On this point, even Zhou Mu had to admit that he truly wasn’t as good as Gu Changsheng!

"Jin Bao, I’ll save you! Don’t be afraid! Even if you fall into the Abyss of the Demonic Realm, I’ll drag you back out! In front of me, no one, nothing, can take you away!" Gu Changsheng stared firmly at the back of Baby Jin Bao’s head, her tone resolute, while the Inner Strength in her hands carried an endless suction force, constantly pouring into Baby Jin Bao’s back. "However you went in, you come back out the same way! Behave yourself and stay inside my body!"

At this very moment, Gu Changsheng understood that the reason Baby Jin Bao was going to Demon Fall was absolutely because of her!

It was because he had bitten her just now!

And the Demonic Qi on Baby Jin Bao’s body was even coming from her!

That Demonic Qi which had always hidden in her own body, which had never posed the slightest threat to her—sometimes even helping her—was now going to cost Baby Jin Bao his life!

If so, then she would take it back!

That Demonic Qi originally belonged to her; she could not let it go and harm Baby Jin Bao!

Baby Jin Bao was already stunned by Gu Changsheng’s words!

Control Demonic Qi?

What did that even mean?

This arrogant woman Gu Changsheng—did she even know what she was saying?

In this world, aside from the Demon Lord who had once perished together with the Creator Ancestor God, there had never been anyone else who could reach the level of controlling Demonic Qi!

Rumor had it that in the Nine Nether Demon Domain there were countless Demon Heads, yet never had anyone dared overstep the existence of the Demon Lord. Aside from the Demon Lord, no one—no demon—had ever reached the degree of controlling Demonic Qi! Never!

Formless Inner Strength streamed out from Gu Changsheng’s palms, ceaselessly pouring toward Baby Jin Bao’s back, enveloping his whole body within it!

The misty Inner Strength, almost tangible, with a dim luster, flowed around Baby Jin Bao’s entire body, and finally settled upon the skin that had already been invaded by black Demonic Qi...

"Get back here!"

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng let out a low roar, and the Inner Strength in her palms exploded once again.

She was going to save Baby Jin Bao, even if absorbing this Demonic Qi back into herself meant that she would fall into Demon Fall again!

She, Gu Changsheng, had gone through so many life-and-death trials that even she couldn’t count them all. She wasn’t afraid; she believed that if she could awaken once from the abyss of Demon Fall, then she could do it a second time!

But Baby Jin Bao was different!

He was still just a child; he didn’t have such a powerful will!

And with Gu Changsheng’s low shout, the spreading black Demonic Qi on Baby Jin Bao’s body began to quickly retreat, sliding along his neck, constantly shifting toward the back of Baby Jin Bao...

And on Baby Jin Bao’s back, Gu Changsheng’s hands were pressed right there!

"Changsheng!" Zhou Mu, seeing this, couldn’t help calling out in worry.

"Gu Changsheng!" Shi Wujue’s heart twisted into a tight knot along with it.

"Miss! Miss, don’t!" Yuan Bao’s eyes were brimming with tears, his whole body trembling with anxiety.

If his Miss were to fall into Demon Fall once again, what should they do?

Back then, when his Miss had fallen into Demon Fall, Yue Xilou had searched far and wide for the Cold Iron Shackles, binding her and his own master inside layer after layer. What about now?

If his Miss couldn’t endure it this time, what then?

Yuan Bao was truly frantic!

Strands of Demonic Qi followed along Baby Jin Bao’s back, continuously drilling into Gu Changsheng’s hands, as if something there was irresistibly attracting them...

And with the invasion of that Demonic Qi, Gu Changsheng only felt a warm current flowing ceaselessly into her through her palms—infinitely familiar, and infinitely warm...

"Changsheng..."

Zhou Mu and the others stared at Gu Changsheng without so much as a blink, afraid that something might happen to her!

They were also afraid that under the assault of Demonic Qi, she would fall into Demon Fall once more...

Yet the thing they feared did not happen!

By the time the Demonic Qi on Baby Jin Bao’s face had completely vanished, by the time his lips, which had first turned black, had returned to their usual rosy pink, Gu Changsheng—sitting cross-legged behind him, maintaining a posture of channeling Inner Strength—did not show the slightest abnormality in her body...

Until the very last thread of Demonic Qi drilled from Baby Jin Bao’s back into Gu Changsheng’s hands, Baby Jin Bao’s body pitched forward and slipped from Gu Changsheng’s palms...

"Gu Changsheng! Gu Changsheng, how are you? Are you okay?" Almost at the very instant he fell forward, Baby Jin Bao couldn’t wait to turn around and crawl toward Gu Changsheng, raising his hands to clutch anxiously at her hands, which still held the posture of channeling Inner Strength...

The pain in his body was gone!

The complexion that had been ravaged by Demonic Qi had returned to normal, without leaving the slightest aftereffect, as if Demonic Qi had never invaded his body at all. He had recovered astonishingly well!

But what worried Baby Jin Bao was Gu Changsheng—what worried him was what would happen to Gu Changsheng!

Will she fall into demonhood again because of the Demonic Qi invading her once more?

Baby Jin Bao was worried, and Zhou Mu, Shi Wujue and the others were just as worried. They all stared nervously at Gu Changsheng, not even daring to breathe!

"Hoo..."

Finally, in that eerie silence, Gu Changsheng let out a long breath of relief, twisted her neck, moved the muscles on her face a bit, and murmured with a look of sheer contentment, "Comfortable!"

This was exactly that feeling!

Just like the feeling she had the last time she woke up beneath the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, like she had just soaked in a hot spring—every pore of her whole body was radiating comfort and ease!

"Gu Changsheng?" Baby Jin Bao was dumbfounded. On that little face that had only just returned to a normal color, disbelief filled his expression as he looked at Gu Changsheng, and his gaze involuntarily shifted to Gu Changsheng’s hands...

On Gu Changsheng’s hands, those strands and wisps of tangled black threads were still there...

But...

Aside from those black threads, there were also wisps of Holy Golden threads intertwined with them, dancing together...

That’s right!

Baby Jin Bao’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at everything he was seeing, unable to believe it!

"Gu Changsheng? You... you..." Baby Jin Bao cupped Gu Changsheng’s hands, staring at the black and Holy Golden threads dancing and entwining on them, as if he had seen a Ghost!

No!

Even if he’d seen a Ghost, Baby Jin Bao wouldn’t be this shocked!

This scene was simply too bizarre to comprehend!

If those black threads were Demonic Qi, then what were these Holy Golden threads?

Holy Golden was a color unique to a Deity!

Aside from a Deity, no one could possess this color on their body!

It’s like in the mortal world, every Emperor weaves golden Imperial Robes for himself, wanting to flaunt himself as the embodiment of a Deity. But fake is ultimately fake; they can never become a true Deity!

Yet on Gu Changsheng’s body, there were actually traces of Holy Golden!

If previously, that speck of Holy Golden at Gu Changsheng’s brow was only there because of Insect God Manman, then what were these Holy Golden threads now, wandering about her injuries?

Baby Jin Bao couldn’t help but look up, his gaze full of shock and doubt as he stared at Gu Changsheng’s face...

He hadn’t felt any particular urgency about looking before, but the moment he did, Baby Jin Bao abruptly let go of Gu Changsheng’s hands. His body staggered, and he tumbled back...

"Jin Bao! What’s wrong with you? Could it be that your body still isn’t feeling well?"

Gu Changsheng had just opened her eyes and saw Baby Jin Bao stumbling right in front of her. She couldn’t help but ask worriedly.

"Gu Changsheng? Gu Changsheng, your brow... your brow..."

Lying flat on his back, Baby Jin Bao anxiously raised his hand, pointing at Gu Changsheng’s face...

Zhou Mu and the others, hearing Baby Jin Bao’s words, finally shifted their attention to Gu Changsheng’s brow...

Ever since climbing up from beneath the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, Gu Changsheng’s face had been covered in dust. She’d planned to wash her face, but got interrupted because her Shadow had disappeared. So at this very moment, the colors on Gu Changsheng’s face were truly dazzling—calling her a "flower cat" wouldn’t be an exaggeration!

But none of that was the main point!

The main point was Gu Changsheng’s brow!

That speck of Holy Golden mark was gone!

In its place was...

A dark gray weave of sun-and-moon light and shadow...

That murky, indistinct color made everyone’s hearts clench involuntarily...

Baby Jin Bao didn’t know if it was his imagination, but faintly, he actually saw from within that Sun and Moon Mark, a derived vision of a sea of stars, and of the Three Thousand Great Worlds unfolding...

That sight made Baby Jin Bao hurriedly avert his gaze, not daring to look directly any longer!

He was afraid that if he kept staring, he wouldn’t be able to help himself from falling into those strange scenes derived from the Three Thousand Great Worlds...

"What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with my brow?" Gu Changsheng asked, unable to help raising her hand to touch her brow...

She didn’t feel the slightest anomaly!

There had always been a touch of Holy Golden at her brow, blazing like fire—Gu Changsheng had always known that. What’s more, because of that Holy Golden speck between Gu Changsheng’s brows, countless Flower Adornment designs in the alleys and streets had copied her style. Over time, Gu Changsheng had already grown utterly used to it...

It was just that, being suddenly reminded of her brow by Baby Jin Bao, Gu Changsheng herself was utterly confused, completely at a loss...

And at the very instant Gu Changsheng raised her hand, the Sun and Moon Mark at her brow was gradually growing dim, thinning out, and slowly disappearing. On her hands, those wandering black and Holy Golden threads completed their final fusion and once again sank beneath her skin, returning to how they’d always been, as if nothing had ever changed...

"Madam... Madam... the mark at your brow... the mark... has changed!"
