#2852 - It should not be the heroes of the times who bear this burden.

“Husband, what is the realm of my second incarnation now?”

After a moment of silent tenderness, Gong Jiuqing suddenly asked softly in Jun Wuxie’s arms.

“I’m sorry, Jiuqing, since I came to the Mixed Origin Great World, I haven’t looked for your second incarnation yet.

I don’t even know if your second incarnation is still in the Mixed Origin Great World…”

Gong Jiuqing raised her head from his arms, her watery beautiful eyes staring at him closely, and then suddenly offered her red lips, kissing him on the mouth.

“You are not allowed to say sorry to me, we don’t need to say these three words between us!

You have just arrived in the Mixed Origin Great World and have not yet established yourself. You need to establish yourself first and have a relatively good environment.

As for my second incarnation, it doesn’t matter if we look for it later.

If husband says sorry again in the future, I will be sad.”

“Okay, I won’t say it anymore, I won’t say it again in the future.”

Jun Wuxie’s fingers caressed her crystal-clear and smooth chin, and after thinking for a while, he said: “Jiuqing, do you have any resistance to merging with your second incarnation?”

“No.”

“Really not?”

Jun Wuxie looked at her watery eyes, those eyes were extremely beautiful, as if there were two pools of autumn water rippling, spreading little by little into his heart.

“Really not, I don’t have any psychological obstacles.

That is my body.

Even if it is born from another womb, it is still formed by a drop of my essence blood, which is no different from the rebirth of a drop of essence blood after the physical body is shattered during battle, only the process is more tortuous.

I just simply want to serve my husband for a period of time with a body that does not carry any memories of the second incarnation.

In this way, my husband and I will only know each other from the Immortal Ancient times.”

“When did you and Lian Yue start to like me?”

Jun Wuxie wanted to understand the psychological process of their emotional changes towards him.

“That era was special, and we especially cherished friendship.

When we first met you in the chaotic spacetime, we regarded you as a friend.

Later, in the Border Wastelands, watching familiar people fall one after another, we would often think of the past and think of you.

Perhaps because of that drop of your blood, we always thought of you more often and were a little curious about you.

At that time, we were all curious about what role that drop of your blood would play in our bodies.

The more we thought of you, the more affection we naturally accumulated.

But at that time, we only thought it was pure friendship, maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t.

Later, you crossed time and space to the Border Wastelands, shattering the Dark Emperor with your fist, showing your invincible heroic posture.

The moment you looked back at me, our eyes met, and I fell…

I think Lian Yue is the same.”

“There is no shortage of love at first sight in the world. Although we are not, we can be considered love at second sight.”

“That’s not true. It’s just that I fell in love with you at second sight, but you clearly knew that I was your woman, so you looked at me with that affectionate and distressed look.

If your eyes weren’t so distressed and affectionate at that time, I might not have fallen so deeply, so that even in the state of a remnant soul, I would often recall the scene at that time, unable to extricate myself…”

“Hahaha!”

Jun Wuxie couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this.

Jiuqing was right. He was the one who forcibly descended to the end of the Immortal Ancient Era from the future, crossing the long river of time and space.

At that time, Jiuqing was already his woman, so he naturally felt sorry for her when he saw her struggling so hard in the Border Wastelands.

“By the way, let me share some information with my husband.”

Gong Jiuqing pressed her forehead against his, and a large amount of information poured into his sea of consciousness through divine thoughts.

“Information about the creatures of the Great Desolation is exactly what I need right now.”

Jun Wuxie digested the information, which was about the introduction of various creatures of the Great Desolation. Some were more detailed, while others were more concise, with only the most basic information.

“Now, the powerhouses of the Ghost Witch Clan have arrived in the Unknown Region. If my husband wants to use the creatures of the Great Desolation to deal with them, this information may be useful.

It’s just that some of the information is a bit too concise.

The Great Desolation Era was relatively short, and everything about that era has been annihilated, without any written records left.

The people of the Immortal Ancient Era can only conduct research based on the excavated remains of the creatures of the Great Desolation, thereby inferring some information.

Some of the information may differ from the facts.”

“There may be deviations, but they are not far off.

Among those who study the creatures of the Great Desolation, there are no shortage of Emperor Realm powerhouses.

With their vision and knowledge, there will basically be no deviations, or only very small ones.

Now, the powerhouses of the Ghost Witch Clan in the Hongmeng Realm have all come.

If the powerhouses of the Hongmeng Realm want to deal with me, I have to make them shed a few layers of skin.”

“Speaking of the Ghost Witch Clan, they already appeared in the Immortal Ancient Era.

It’s just that they were more secretive at that time and didn’t reveal such great ambitions. They only made the world think that the techniques and methods they practiced were more bizarre and sinister.

Since their energy was focused on the Dark Creatures, they didn’t pay much attention to them.”

“There may be a background behind the Ghost Witch Creatures. I don’t think it’s that simple.”

“I think so too.” Gong Jiuqing pondered slightly and said: “These days, I have repeatedly thought about this issue.

How dare the Ghost Witch Creatures have such ambitions?

The Dark Creatures are aiming at our Heavens, and the Ghost Witch Creatures seem to have the same purpose, but relatively speaking, they are not as blatant as the Dark Creatures. What they are plotting is more secretive.

With the same goal, they are destined to collide with the Dark Creatures in the end.

They must at least have the confidence to do so, otherwise wouldn’t they be burying their own world for nothing?

I just don’t know what kind of existence the backer behind the Ghost Witch Creatures is…”

“Perhaps the backer of the Ghost Witch Creatures can be traced back to the existence that once created the Dark Progenitor.”

Gong Jiuqing was startled, “Husband, are you saying that the Ghost Witch Clan may be the source of the Strange Epidemic that you once mentioned?”

“It’s possible, I’m just guessing right now.

If the people of the Ghost Witch Clan hadn’t come to the Unknown Region this time, perhaps I wouldn’t have associated them with the source of the Strange Epidemic so quickly.

I obtained a fragmented map in the Land of Forgotten, and spent a lot of effort to deduce the location of the Unknown Region.

The owner of that map was once infected by the Abyssal Strange Epidemic.

And the source of the map is very likely to be the Ghost Witch Clan.

There is a possibility that the person who drew the map back then sneaked into the underground world controlled by the Ghost Witch Creatures, accidentally discovered the map, and was therefore infected with the Abyssal Strange Epidemic.”

“But the Dark Creatures are already extremely powerful. Why would the source of the Strange Epidemic still want the Ghost Witch Clan to join in?”

“Although the Dark Progenitors originated from the source of the Strange Epidemic, they are not truly willing to submit to the source of the Strange Epidemic.

Obviously, the source of the Strange Epidemic had already seen through this.

But they still need to use the Dark Progenitors, so they pretended not to know.

At the same time, they also need to guard against the Dark Progenitors, so the Ghost Witch Clan took the stage.

Of course, these are all my guesses. What the truth is, we still need to obtain more information for comprehensive analysis before we can draw a final conclusion.”

“Alas, the situation in the Heavens is becoming more and more complicated.

This era faces greater difficulties than other eras.

Husband, when you mention darkness, you are not as solemn as when you mention the Abyssal Strange Epidemic.

What kind of existence is the source of that Abyssal Strange Epidemic?”

“An existence that you cannot understand or imagine.” Jun Wuxie shook his head gently, “Even I, at my peak, had never glimpsed the tip of the iceberg in that realm.

How strong they are, I cannot imagine either. Without reaching that realm, there is nothing to say.”

Hearing such an answer, Gong Jiuqing couldn’t help but tighten the hand holding Jun Wuxie’s palm.

“Don’t be afraid of the future. All roads are made by walking, even if it is a desperate situation, as long as we don’t give up our efforts, it is possible to create a great path.

Confidence, perseverance, unyielding, and hard work are the qualities we always need to maintain.”

“With my husband here, I am not afraid of anything.”

…

Half a day later, Jun Wuxie and Nan Zhi left the Eight Nine Profound Palace.

They walked out of the cave and came to the cliff.

Nan Zhi looked at the mountains and rivers here, feeling the aura of the Great Desolation.

Is this the environment of the Great Desolation Era?

This kind of atmosphere gives people the feeling of traveling through time and space, going against the long river of years to that distant era.

Nan Zhi was a little dazed for a while.

She couldn’t help but think of her former era.

It’s just that, alas, time is ruthless, annihilating and changing many people or things.

The scenery evoked her emotions.

She suddenly felt a little sentimental in her heart.

“Sister Nan Zhi, let’s talk.”

Jun Wuxie saw the change in her emotions.

During the half day with Jiuqing, Jiuqing had mentioned Nan Zhi’s affairs to him.

In fact, Jun Wuxie had long known that Nan Zhi had something hidden deep in her heart, otherwise she would not have refused to return to the outside world.

She said she wanted to see the outside world, but she never really went out.

Originally, this knot in her heart had been untied a lot.

Unexpectedly, Nan Zhi still had other knots in her heart.

“What does little brother want to talk about with big sister?”

Nan Zhi smiled sweetly, pulled Jun Wuxie to the tree next to the cliff, and sat down on the huge tree roots.

She smiled and looked at Jun Wuxie, casually flicking her smooth black hair, “Little brother, feel free to say anything you want to say, big sister will tell you everything she knows.”

“Let’s talk about Sister Nan Zhi’s knot in her heart.”

“What knot could big sister have?”

She did not admit it.

Jun Wuxie didn’t speak, just turned his head and looked into her eyes.

Nan Zhi met his gaze, but gradually shifted her gaze.

Little brother’s gaze was too sharp, as if it could penetrate her heart.

Even she, a peak powerhouse of the Origin Realm, couldn't withstand it and felt a sense of guilt, unable to meet his gaze.

“Sister Nan Zhi, your life has been filled with hardships, your destiny fraught with difficulties, and you've endured too much pain and hatred.

You shouldn't place the responsibility for those past events on yourself.”

Nan Zhi turned her head away, looking into the distance, her face slightly raised, tears welling up in her eyes.

She desperately held back the tears from falling.

“But the truth is that the clan's destruction happened because I wasn't there…

My father told me to stay within the clan, but I didn't listen and insisted on going to the borderlands for the second time, ultimately leading to that tragedy.

Every time I think of the rivers of blood within the clan and the tragic deaths of my people, I seem to hear them crying, crying and asking me why I didn't stay to protect them…

I am guilty, I am a sinner, I am sorry to the clan, sorry to the ancestors of the clan, sorry to everyone…”

Nan Zhi's emotions were on the verge of collapse at this moment, and she sobbed on Jun Wuxie's shoulder, her tears soaking his clothes.

“Brother, do you know how sad I am, how much my heart aches!

I gave up protecting my own clan, went to the borderlands, and chose to protect the living beings of the world!

In the end, among the people I risked my life to protect, some took advantage of my absence to invade my Nan Ju clan and slaughter the entire clan!”

Nan Zhi wailed on his shoulder.

So many years, such a long time.

From the time she fled, in order to leave a royal bloodline for the Nan Ju clan, she had been hiding, and later she was running around for Chong'er's illness.

At that time, she didn't even have time to be sad, only gritting her teeth and enduring.

Today is the first time she has released the emotions that have been building up in her heart.

“Sister Nan Zhi, cry, it will feel better if you cry it out.”

Jun Wuxie put his arm around her shoulder, comforting her.

At this moment, he also felt very uncomfortable.

Listening to Nan Zhi's words, he could feel her sadness and anger.

This kind of thing is unacceptable to anyone.

It wasn't until Nan Zhi stopped crying so intensely and her emotions stabilized a little that he said, “Everything is not your fault, it is the fault of those beastly tumors.

Every era has its own environment, and perhaps its own limitations.

Under the background of that era, the failure to remove the tumors before the end-of-world torrent led to such a tragedy.”

“But if I had stayed back then…”

“No, what's done is done, Sister Nan Zhi, don't always try to assume a result to build your own spiritual prison.

Everything in the past is gone forever.

If Sister Nan Zhi imprisons her own mind because of this, trapping herself in a dead end, it is meaningless in reality.

Besides, your choice back then was not wrong.

In that special era, under the special background of the impending collapse of the heavens, every living being of the Hunyuan clans had their own responsibilities and missions.

Therefore, the responsibility for the destruction of the clan should not be borne by the heroes of the era who risked their lives to fight against the dark creatures, but should be borne by the murderers who did that thing.

The fault lies with that group of beasts, not you.

Sister Nan Zhi, what you have to do is to get rid of these psychological burdens that you shouldn't be bearing, and avenge the dead clan members.

Even after countless ages, I believe that some of those people are still alive in this era.

Find them and let them die painfully in repentance, that is an explanation to your dead clansmen.”

Jun Wuxie was very worried that if she couldn't get out of this, her Dao heart would be stained, and the spiritual shackles he added would inevitably greatly affect her cultivation.

“What brother said makes a lot of sense, no matter how painful I am, no matter how much I blame myself, I can't change what has already happened…”

Nan Zhi seemed to have figured out a lot.

She moved her head from Jun Wuxie's shoulder and wiped away the tears from her face.
