Chapter 432 Xiao Wu Temporarily Sealed; Gu Yue's Mysterious Invitation
Chapter 432 Xiao Wu Temporarily Sealed; Gu Yue's Mysterious Invitation
Cola Novels, your portable library, contains more than ten thousand volumes.
However, these absurd thoughts only lingered in the Goddess's mind before she quickly suppressed them.
She bowed her head slightly again, maintaining a respectful posture, and asked, "Then, Lord Yuhao, please allow me to make my move now."
First, we need to completely stabilize Xiao Wu's collapsing soul; at least that will alleviate the pressure on the God of Love.
When the God was in the Primordial God Realm, he was extremely skilled in the secret techniques of the Divine Soul.
Even those god-kings dared not expose their weaknesses in their souls when facing her, lest she exploit them.
Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement. The Goddess no longer hesitated, and seven divine wheels radiating strange light emerged one after another from behind her.
Amidst the shimmering light, the pure white aura emanating from her body instantly transformed into a dark red color carrying an endless sense of depravity.
A soft, melodious sound began to echo from the void, accompanied by a strange, lingering fragrance that could stir up the most primal desires deep within one's heart.
The dark red halo, like countless stars, peeled away and then merged into Xiao Wu's body without any hindrance.
Soon, Xiao Wu's entire body turned into an eerie dark red color.
With a burst of light, a huge red crystal emitting a ghostly glow materialized out of thin air, completely sealing Xiao Wu inside.
Under the protection of this seal, Xiao Wu's life force, which was constantly being lost, was finally brought to a halt.
The dark red on the god's face faded, returning to its original holy state, and he softly reported to the guide:
"Lord Yuhao, I have successfully completed my mission. However, this seal can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. To truly resolve Xiaowu's inner conflict, we will probably need to devise a more comprehensive plan."
Afterwards, I will discuss the follow-up treatment plan with Cupid and try my best to wake Xiaowu from this coma as soon as possible.
"It's alright, you've done very well."
Huo Yuhao raised his hand and rubbed his temples, letting out a breath of pent-up stagnation.
With the addition of the God of Sin, who is skilled in the way of the soul, Xiao Wu's soul can be stabilized better, which allows him to put his mind at ease for the time being.
Meanwhile, in the prison on the other side, the originally dark and damp cell environment was transformed into a bright, sunny, and lush forest under Cao Dezhi's control.
Titan stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.
The smiling girl he remembered was now kneeling before a scene of devastation, weeping uncontrollably and desperately calling out her own name.
Titan never imagined that the truth of what happened back then would be so cruel.
With a thud, his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale as he murmured incoherently:
"Xiaoling, my Xiaoling, why did things turn out like this... If only I had trusted you more back then, would everything have been different...?"
Niu Tian, standing to the side, couldn't help but cover his face and sigh.
He never imagined that his younger brother's love story, which he had never confided in him, would end in such a heartbreaking tragedy.
Even the reason for all this is still Titan's unchangeable impatience.
They were already deeply in love and had done *that* with the girl.
However, when she wanted to reveal her identity as a soul beast in human form, she still didn't dare to say it to his face.
Instead, they left a short message and agreed to meet again in ten days.
The next day, the girl only left the forest temporarily, wanting to go back to her hometown to visit.
Titan, who had been secretly observing everything from the shadows, naturally assumed that the other party could not accept his original soul beast identity.
In his extreme despair, he destroyed their love nest, turning it into ruins, and then left in anger.
But the truth is, on the sixth day, the girl returned home full of joy.
However, all that awaited her was this cold, dilapidated ruin.
This misunderstanding caused them to miss their chance at a relationship.
Thinking of this, Niu Tian turned to look at Cao Dezhi and couldn't help but ask to confirm, "Mr. Cao, is what happened behind that scene really true?"
After all, Titan's memory of this past event only extends to the moment when Xiong Xiaoling left the forest and he destroyed the wooden house.
What happened next was a scene forcibly manifested by Cao Dezhi using the power of the God of Love.
He naturally couldn't completely distinguish between what was true and what was false.
If possible, Niu Tian sincerely hoped that all of this was just a lie.
At least this way, my second brother won't be so heartbroken and blame himself.
Faced with Niu Tian's questioning, Cao Dezhi responded with a cold snort:
"You may doubt my personal abilities, but you absolutely cannot doubt Qiankun Wenqing Valley's professionalism in exploring the origins of emotions."
It is no exaggeration to say that after the formation of the Valley of Love and Destiny, all the love stories, big and small, that have occurred in this Douluo plane have been recorded.
Given the right catalyst, past events can be brought to light.
At this point, Cao Dezhi gave a meaningful smile and added:
"If I remember correctly, you two sacrificed yourselves to become Tang San's spirit rings and spirit bones. So, you probably didn't get to witness Xiao Wu's resurrection, right?"
If you wish, I can use the power here to recreate that scene for you.
Upon hearing this, Niu Tian shook his head vigorously, waving his hands repeatedly in refusal, and said awkwardly, "No, no need for that. I appreciate Mr. Cao's kindness."
If he could truly hear Tang San call out with deep emotion, "Resurrect, my love," and thus revive Sister Xiao Wu.
He might as well just go deaf right now; that would be much more satisfying.
Before Cao Dezhi could say anything more, he suddenly became serious. After receiving a secret telepathic message from Ning Rongrong, he clapped his hands.
The realistic forest scene around them vanished like ripples on water, reverting to the prison's appearance. (The author then added, "I've fallen in love with reading, starting with Cola Novels.") He then said solemnly, "Lord Cupid invites you both to the main hall for a discussion. Please follow me."
Compared to Titan, who was still immersed in the painful truth of the past and unable to recover for a long time, with a dejected look on his face, Niu Tian's expression clearly darkened upon hearing this.
Although most of his attention had been focused on Titan's past love stories, he also learned the truth about what had just happened from his second brother.
Even Niu Tian never expected that the esteemed ruler of the soul beasts would now be so closely involved with Huo Yuhao.
Considering the sudden disappearance of all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest a long time ago, this was undoubtedly caused by Huo Yuhao's secret intervention.
For this reason, they have been unable to contact Di Tian for some time, which has delayed the implementation of the previously agreed-upon Ten Thousand Beasts Platform plan.
It is quite obvious that the ruler of the soul beasts has already sided with Huo Yuhao.
The Myriad Beast Platform, which they had originally intended to use to prove their worth to the Lord of Soul Beasts, was now completely useless.
The two brothers are likely to meet a perilous end on this trip.
After Niu Tian and Titan, each with their own thoughts, followed Cao Dezhi into the main hall, Niu Tian looked around but did not see Xiao Wu or Tang Wutong.
Even beside Huo Yuhao, there was another deity, who exuded strange divine power fluctuations and seemed to be a god.
This made Niu Tian feel even more uneasy, and he couldn't help but suspect that the mastermind behind all this was the God of Destruction, who had always been at odds with Tang San.
Thinking of this, Niu Tian took a deep breath, suppressed his unease, stepped forward and said loudly, "Huo Yuhao, as the saying goes, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Now that things have come to this, it's useless to say anything since I've fallen into your hands."
I do not regret what I did in the past, so you may kill me or torture me as you please, I, Niu Tian, will not even flinch.
I only ask that you consider our past relationship and not make things difficult for Sister Xiaowu and that girl Wutong.
In Niu Tian's view, since things have developed to this point, the two of them have become prisoners at the mercy of others.
Faced with such absolute military suppression, any schemes and strategies are meaningless. It's better to just end it quickly than to suffer the humiliation.
But after Niu Tian finished speaking so defiantly, under his incredulous gaze, Titan beside him knelt down directly before Huo Yuhao as if a mountain of gold had been pushed over and a jade pillar had been overturned.
His voice was hoarse and carried a humble plea as he said:
"Huo Yuhao, I know I've done many things that have wronged you, and I don't ask for your forgiveness. But I hope to see Yuanen Yehui one last time, and then return to the Yuanen family to verify the truth of some things."
Please, for Sister Xiaowu's sake, grant me this request. I'd be willing to do anything to fulfill this wish, even be your slave.
"Second brother, why are you doing this...?"
Niu Tian suddenly realized something was wrong. Just now, Cao Dezhi had pulled them aside to talk about the past, and even deliberately used the power of Qiankun Wenqing Valley to recreate the so-called truth of the past for Titan.
But how could all of this escape the watchful eye of Cupid?
This could very well be a tactic executed on Huo Yuhao's orders, specifically designed to break down Titan's psychological defenses.
Huo Yuhao naturally already knew from Ning Rongrong the reason for Titan's unusual behavior.
Even he never expected that such a cruel twist of fate would happen to Titan.
Before he could even decide how to begin speaking, Ning Rongrong, who had been observing the situation closely, preemptively responded with sharp words:
"Heh, you two are really dreaming. If it weren't for Xiao Wu, frankly, you wouldn't even have a chance to see me alive."
Now that things have come to this, who are they trying to fool with this self-inflicted suffering?
Ning Rongrong's first words were a direct verbal threat.
Niu Tian and Titan are, after all, Xiao Wu's nominal younger brothers, and there is also that other relationship between Xiao Wu and Huo Yuhao.
Furthermore, when Cao Dezhi used his authority to recreate past scenes, she naturally learned that this Titan was actually Yuan En Ye Hui's ancestor.
Amidst this complex web of relationships, Ning Rongrong, who was eager to further enhance Huo Yuhao's favorability and possessed a keen and perceptive mind, naturally couldn't allow her master to speak up and become the villain at this crucial moment.
Feeling the oppressive divine power emanating from Ning Rongrong, both Niu Tian and Titan trembled uncontrollably.
Titan gritted his teeth, raised his head, and said resolutely, "As long as I can go to the Yuanen family and find out the truth of what happened back then."
After that, no matter what happened back then, I was willing to sacrifice myself to become Yuanen Yehui's soul ring and soul bone, in order to make up for my mistakes.
I also beg you to show mercy and spare my elder brother's life; I will bear all the blame.
"Second brother..."
Niu Tian was completely speechless.
As brothers who had spent countless years together, he had already understood all the unspoken thoughts in Titan's resolute eyes.
Clearly, after experiencing that illusion and witnessing another possibility of what happened back then, Titan had already resolved to die, regardless of whether the events were true or not, and was no longer willing to live in this world.
In this situation, using oneself as a last resort to exchange for Niu Tian's chance to survive might be the best way Titan can think of to resolve this deadlock.
……
As night deepened, a bright moon quietly climbed onto the treetops, casting its cool, clear light.
Walking along the quiet corridors of the pavilions and waterside terraces, Huo Yuhao, who was preparing to accept Gu Yue's mysterious invitation, sighed softly.
Thanks to Ning Rongrong's efforts, the matter between Niu Tian and Titan has been temporarily put to rest, with preliminary arrangements made.
Yuan Enhui was not overly excited about suddenly having an ancestor who was a soul beast, and that this ancestor even planned to sacrifice himself to become her soul ring and soul bone.
On the contrary, when it came to the matter of returning to the Yuanen family, she showed obvious timidity and hesitation, and it was unclear what she was trying to avoid.
The other girls, whose cultivation had not yet reached the level of a Title Douluo, had previously been able to use various excuses to pester Leng Yulai until they saw the outcome of the matter.
But now, even Lan Fuzi, who had always stayed out of it, was dragged in by them to experience the arduous life of the divine examination, and to fill the vacancy caused by the lack of people.
As for Tang Wutong, after seeing with her own eyes that Xiao Wu was in a sealed state and her vital signs were stable and there was no major problem, Zhu Zhuqing pulled her back to the room without saying a word. It is unknown what the two of them were going to talk about in private.
After a long day, all these scattered matters finally came to an end. Huo Yuhao didn't even have a chance to catch his breath before he had to pull himself together to deal with Gu Yue's sudden and mysterious invitation.
