Chapter 2077 - 1649: The Demon Lord Awakens, No Return from Damnation!

Gu Changsheng heard this and shook his head blankly, "I don’t know, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Gu Changsheng, as you said, if you underwent the baptism of Divine Blood under the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, then your body should have Divine Blood flowing through it, and it wouldn’t be strange for the color of Holy Gold threads to appear. But those dark threads..." Baby Jin Bao’s eyes flickered with a hint of dread as he pondered, "You absorbed it from me! It’s demonic qi! It’s demonic qi! Do you know?"

"I..." Even though Baby Jin Bao’s gaze was terrifying, even Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but take a frightened step back, "Baby Jin Bao, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"The Holy Gold color belongs to a Deity! But the dark color belongs to the Demon Realm! Now, both of these colors appear on you, and they can blend together! Gu Changsheng, do you know what this means?" Baby Jin Bao took another step forward, looking at Gu Changsheng, speaking each word solemnly, "Divine Blood flows within you, yet you also possess the ability to control demonic qi, which is a power only the supreme ruler of the Nine Nether Demon Domain should have, and yet it appears on you..."

"I should have thought of it, I should have realized it when Zhou Mu’s demonic qi was being extracted by the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms. I was worried that perhaps this was a sign of the Demon Lord’s awakening. Now, the facts have proven my guess correct, the Demon Lord has truly awakened, and that person is you! A person with demonic qi who can freely control demonic qi!" Baby Jin Bao raised his little hand again and pointed sharply at Gu Changsheng, speaking in a deep voice.

Gu Changsheng was again forced to retreat by Baby Jin Bao’s heavy tone, until Zhou Mu stepped forward to block her, holding her protectively, Gu Changsheng shook her head, looking panicked and at a loss at Baby Jin Bao, "Jin Bao, what are you trying to say? What exactly do you want to say?"

"What I wanted to say, what I should have thought, you won’t be the only one in The Post-Ancient Era with the chance to become a God! Someone with the power of demon control but with Divine Blood will never become a true Deity! But then, what will you become? A fusion of god and demon? No! No..." At this point, Baby Jin Bao couldn’t help but shake his head, "Impossible! That’s impossible! Since the Ancestral God Pangu Qingtian opened the heavens, good and evil cannot coexist, it’s fate destined and inevitable. Otherwise, the Ancestral God Qingtian wouldn’t have perished along with the Demon Lord to eliminate its existence, returning to chaos! But how can you have both the powers of a Deity and a Demon Lord on you? Signs of becoming both a god and a demon? Gu Changsheng, how did you do it? How did you amalgamate two completely incompatible powers within yourself?"

"I..."

At this point, Gu Changsheng was utterly speechless.

Honestly, Gu Changsheng still couldn’t figure out that blasted Divine Blood, let alone magic power?

Gu Changsheng vaguely felt that her magic power was related to the demon fall she chose in Linyuan City under the Nine-Layer Godslaying Heavenly Punishment, but this magic power has always been within her body, never causing any trouble!

But, as Baby Jin Bao said, even Gu Changsheng felt something was amiss...

Unexpectedly, Gu Changsheng recalled, under the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, before she fell into a deep coma, she saw that full vision of Holy Gold color...

Gu Changsheng was not sure if all of this was related to her trip to the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms!

However, it seems everything changed after she climbed back up!

"Are you saying, I will become something that is neither god nor demon?" Gu Changsheng twitched at the corners of her mouth, looking at Baby Jin Bao, summarizing thus.

Earlier, she also saw on her hand the intertwining dark and Holy Gold threads...

That scene indeed seemed strange, but to Gu Changsheng, it only felt warm, not a single hint of harm or threat from those two forces...

Saying she will become something indeed seems strange, but the fact is, even if Gu Changsheng did not want to admit it, all of this just happened...

"I don’t know, Gu Changsheng, you are a mystery. Initially, I thought you would become a God, but surprisingly, you had demonic qi hidden within you, and you possess the ability to control demonic energy, Gu Changsheng, what you will become, I do not know. What I’m worried about is whether, because of these two opposing forces within you, you might lose control and walk down a path of no return..." Baby Jin Bao expressed the hidden worry in his heart, looking at Gu Changsheng...

Gu Changsheng nestled in Zhou Mu’s arms, quietly listening to Baby Jin Bao’s words, with her brows tightly furrowed, her face of bright beauty scrunched into a ball...

"Well, Jin Bao, could it be that you are worrying unnecessarily? Really, I don’t feel any discomfort at all. On the contrary, with these two forces in my body, I actually feel surprisingly comfortable. Not only that, but I don’t sense any threat from them..."

Faced with the terribly solemn Baby Jin Bao, Gu Changsheng thought for a while and spoke cautiously.

She truly felt no discomfort!

More accurately, when the demonic qi spreading from Baby Jin Bao was absorbed by her, Gu Changsheng even felt all her pores open up, feeling extremely comfortable...

"Gu Changsheng, good and evil can never reconcile! Good and evil oppose each other, an eternal truth that even the Ancestral God Pangu Qingtian couldn’t change! You’re just a person, a human, what can you change? Your body has undergone the baptism of Divine Blood, taking the first step toward becoming a God, but also, the power of the Demon Lord is slowly awakening..."

"Gu Changsheng, in becoming a God, you will be the unparalleled first in The Post-Ancient Era!"

"Gu Changsheng, in becoming a demon, you will be the greatest threat and hidden danger in The Post-Ancient Era—one careless thought could overturn the heavens and earth, toppling the Three Thousand Worlds!"

Baby Jin Bao solemnly expressed the concerns in his heart.

But, upon hearing these words, Gu Changsheng was filled with helplessness, spreading her hands powerlessly, her little face almost wrinkling completely, "What can I say, you see, it’s not something I can control. I seem to be passively accepting everything, tell me, what can I do? What else can I do?"

Heaven knows, she has no interest at all in becoming a god or a demon!

She just wants to be a person, a simple person with parents, husband, and children, expecting nothing more—no immortality, no being undying and unhurt—it’s not the result she desires, but isn’t it being forced upon her?

"I just want to be an ordinary person, experiencing the many facets of life in birth, aging, sickness, and death! Jin Bao, some things I neither know how they happened nor how to grasp them. If now I would become a threat to you as a demon, I would find a way to end my life! But isn’t a demon supposed to have no thoughts or heart? I do! I’m still me; I’m still Gu Changsheng! Whether I have demon control power or Divine Blood, I am Gu Changsheng, just as before, unchanged in any way!" Gu Changsheng looked at Baby Jin Bao, speaking with determined confidence.

If, as Baby Jin Bao said, she would become a demon and the biggest threat to the world, then for her lover, her children, her family, she really would end her life, ensuring the threat never manifests!

But, she is still herself!

She still has a heart; she hasn’t been consumed by demonic qi and lost herself!

So how should this be explained?

Gu Changsheng doesn’t know...

Baby Jin Bao doesn’t know either...

"I am just worried about you... After all, no one, neither person nor god, has ever fused the power of gods and demons into one being before..." Baby Jin Bao looked at Gu Changsheng, recalling how she was even willing to risk everything to accompany him to death...

This woman, though seemingly cold-blooded, is actually passionate and full of love for life...

How could such a woman possibly become a demon?

How could she possibly bear to harm other innocent people?

Baby Jin Bao shook his head, trying to shake off the faint worry lingering in his mind...

"Alright! Baby Jin Bao, don’t worry anymore! From now on, let’s strive to find a way to kill me, okay? If one day I truly lose control because of the power of gods and demons, then you can kill me! Make sure I don’t harm you!" Gu Changsheng freed herself from Zhou Mu’s embrace, walked to Baby Jin Bao’s side, raised her hand, and patted his shoulder gently, comforting, "Even in death, I won’t harm you or any innocent people! Right now, even the Chonghua Dagger cannot truly harm me, no matter how worried you are. You saw it yourself, even self-harm is of no use! We will slowly search for something that can end me, fulfilling my wish, how about that?"

Baby Jin Bao heard this, looked up at Gu Changsheng, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "I’m sorry, Gu Changsheng, you need to know, once you become a demon, everything in this world will be beyond salvation. If you don’t want everyone around you to completely disappear, you must always be vigilant, stay rational, and maintain your will, not allowing magic power to control you!"
