Chapter 1786 People and ghosts have different paths

More than a hundred years ago.

Out of curiosity and fun, the daring Gu Qingcheng disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the ghost world. During her stay, she met a noble female ghost in a ghost town.

The female ghost was stunned when she saw Gu Qingcheng, and immediately fell in love with her extraordinary beauty. Even though she knew that she was a human, she did not mind. Instead, she opened her long-lonely heart to her.

At that time, Gu Qingcheng also wanted to take advantage of the other party's identity to steal a treasure from the ghost world in the Imperial City, so he pretended to be nice to the female ghost to gain her trust.

Afterwards, she pretended to be in love with the other party and asked the female ghost to steal things from the imperial palace.

The female ghost was so bewitched by her that she ran to the imperial palace treasury to steal, but was caught by the guards.

After knowing this, Nüba personally interrogated the person and only then did she learn the truth from her stepmother.

In a rage, Nüba immediately sent her men to hunt down Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng fled several times but was finally caught by Nüba.

A fierce battle immediately broke out between the man and the ghost.

However, Gu Qingcheng was outnumbered and her strength was only at the Spirit Transformation Realm at that time. She was no match for Nüba. After being defeated, she thought she was going to be executed.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Nüba's stepmother, the widow and concubine of Emperor Huangquan, came to plead for mercy.

Nüba was very angry about Gu Qingcheng sneaking into the ghost world, stealing treasures and insulting her late father, and she refused her stepmother's plea without thinking.

But in order to save Gu Qingcheng, the stepmother chose to commit suicide on the spot, just asking the other party to show mercy.

Out of sympathy, or perhaps because she remembered how much her stepmother had taken care of her in the past, Nüba finally agreed to her stepmother's last wish.

Gu Qingcheng never imagined that this female ghost would give up her life to save her.

Feeling extremely guilty, she rushed forward and told the ghost the truth.

The female ghost did not blame her. Instead, before she died, she said that if there was an afterlife, she would be reborn as a man and they would continue to be husband and wife!

Gu Qingcheng was so moved that she burst into tears.

Seeing that the female ghost was about to die, she left her remaining soul behind. After escaping from the ghost world, she immediately asked her father for help in order to revive the female ghost's soul.

But his father did not agree at all, and Gu Qingcheng was also a stubborn person, so he immediately left the sect again and chose to find a solution on his own.

Because the remnant soul was extremely weak and could die at any time, Gu Qingcheng used her own spiritual energy to nourish it continuously. In order to preserve this remnant soul, she traveled all over the world, searching for all kinds of natural treasures that could nourish the soul.

During this period, he also realized that his own strength was not enough, so he made up his mind to continue practicing in this process.

In the end, it only took her a hundred years and she went through countless tribulations before she successfully broke through to the realm of metamorphosis. At the same time, she also relied on her own strength to completely solidify the remnant soul.

Originally, she wanted to carry this remnant soul with her for the rest of her life, but one day, when she was returning to the sect, she happened to meet a pregnant woman who had just died tragically.

A pregnant woman died, and the baby in her belly was about to die, so she left her remaining soul in the fetus. Her original intention was to save the fetus and allow the remaining soul of the female ghost to be reborn in the fetus, thus killing two birds with one stone.

But she didn't know that humans and ghosts have different paths. This action was equivalent to starting the countdown to death for both the fetus and the female ghost's soul at the same time.

The naive Gu Qingcheng was still kept in the dark. After taking the fetus out, she brought it back to the sect and raised it as her own child.

Out of guilt, she doted on the child extremely, treating him like her own son and taking care of him in every way.

Just like that, a little devil from a super sect was born.

After Gu Zihan started to remember things, Gu Qingcheng actually felt that something was wrong, because Gu Zihan seemed to have completely forgotten his past life identity and had no memory at all.

Logically, since the other party is reborn through borrowing another's body, he should carry the memory of his original soul.

After all, the soul of a thousand-year-old female ghost can easily squeeze out and occupy the soul of a newborn baby.

But the strange thing is that Gu Zihan doesn’t remember anything about the ghost world, and is no different from an ordinary baby.

Gu Qingcheng comforted herself that perhaps the ghost girl's soul was still sleeping and just hadn't awakened yet.

In fact, the truth is, because of the backlash from the heaven, the female ghost's soul was killed after entering the fetus.

Because the fetus absorbed the residual power of the female ghost's soul, it was born with extraordinary talents and extremely strong soul power, making it an excellent talent for practicing magic.

But at the same time, his life has actually entered the countdown, and he may die at any time, let alone live to grow up, because the older he gets, the probability of backlash of his soul will increase exponentially.

It's like a rejection reaction. Once this reaction occurs, Gu Zihan's original soul will immediately die.

After listening to Nüba's explanation, Lin Ji Chen remained silent. When he recalled the appearance of the little boy Gu Zihan in his mind, he felt heartbroken.

"You want to steal my wife, right? What are you capable of? Do you dare to fight me? I can tell you're just a gigolo."

"I don't need you to take me there. My mother gave me a magical flying weapon. Do I still need you?"

"I told you it was ugly, he did it on purpose to embarrass me!"

"Wuwuwu... It's so scary here, where are you, Senior Sister... Wuwuwu..."

"Brother Lin, can you please not take my sister away? She is my future wife."

"If you agree, I can introduce my mother to you."

...

When he first met Gu Zihan, because he didn't want his wife and senior sister to be taken away, this guy went against Lin Jichen in every way and looked down on Lin Jichen.

But after the experience on the ice field, he found that Lin Ji Chen was a very nice person and took good care of him, so he didn't hate him so much anymore.

He even had a bold idea to introduce his mother to Lin Jichen and make him his stepfather.

On the one hand, it can make up for the fatherly love he lacked since childhood, and on the other hand, it can divert Lin Jichen's attention so that he will no longer compete with him for his senior sister wife. It's like killing two birds with one stone!

Unfortunately, this plan was never implemented, and instead, my senior sister completely fell.

Later, Gu Zihan was accidentally brought to Blue Star by the turbulence of the void. When he saw Niu Naitang, he instantly fell in love with her, forgot about his senior sister and wife, and lived with Lin Jichen and others, forming a deep friendship with them.

Lin Ji Chen has always treated him like his own brother.

Now that he heard that Gu Zihan would not live to adulthood, he, as his brother, really couldn't accept it.

If Gu Qingcheng knew this news, it would probably be a bolt from the blue for her.

"Is there no other way?" Lin Ji Chen couldn't help but look at Nuba.

Nüba shook her head helplessly and said, "This is the law of heaven. It cannot be saved by any soul magic. I have no way to do it. Even if my father were alive, he would have no way to do it. This is a foregone conclusion. There is one possibility..."

"Can you please stop panting when you speak? Speak quickly."

Lin Ji Chen was anxious, maybe there was hope!

Saving Gu Zihan is equivalent to saving his own brother, so he will do his best to save him no matter what.

Nüba hesitated for a moment, seeming a little reluctant, and finally agreed to tell the truth under his questioning.

"Unless you can..."
