Chapter 2591: Chapter 1176: God Gu Qingxiang

Today the weather was fine and the sun was shining, birds chirping away.

If not for the outbreak of contamination, it would’ve been a perfect day to go on an outing and have a barbecue picnic!

Gu Qingxiang was wearing a cotton maxi dress, the hem so long it covered the little black leather shoes on her feet, and on top she had a thin wool sweater.

Then look at the big black-rimmed glasses covering almost half her cheek, and the fat braided pigtail on her head—who would think this was a God strong enough to wipe out all of Jiuzhou?

Gu Qingxiang was so annoyed. Can’t I just stay put at Haijing Polytechnic and be a student counselor in peace?

After work every day, she could study cooking a bit, and if Lin Baici came over, she could show off a dish or two.

Life like this might be plain, but after a fallen nation and exterminated clan, after drifting for so long, this was exactly what Gu Qingxiang wanted.

Can’t you people just behave for once?

Gu Qingxiang really had the urge to kill every last one of them!

"Have you forgotten who you are?"

The God roared, "You are our Great Guardian!"

Honestly, begging Gu Qingxiang for mercy in front of a native lowly commoner was pretty humiliating, but the God hadn’t expected this native to be so absurdly strong.

What the hell was that vanguard squad even doing?

Didn’t do their intel, what signal were they sending?

But now that it had already descended, it could only grit its teeth and keep fighting, turning this place into its own homeland.

"I’m the Great Guardian’s daughter!"

Gu Qingxiang corrected.

If she herself were the Great Guardian, then without any persuasion from her people, for the sake of that sense of duty, even if she didn’t want to, she would keep fighting to the bitter end!

"Gu Qingxiang, you made the right choice. Your people are already too few; they can’t take any more of this!"

Xia Hongmian persuaded, "Hiding quietly and blending into the Human World is the right choice you should make!"

After Xia Hongmian finished, she looked at the God again. "As for you, you chose the wrong place to descend!"

"I don’t know what people in other countries would do, but we People from Jiuzhou will never be conquered!"

"Since you chose this path, you’ll have to pay the price!"

Xia Hongmian’s gaze turned sharp, her whole person like a drawn blade.

She didn’t want to fight Gu Qingxiang, because this was a God she could communicate with, and one without desires. But if it really came down to a fight, she wasn’t afraid either.

"We’ve already paid enough!"

The God bellowed. Being lectured like this by a native lowly commoner made it furious, but it didn’t make a move, because it knew it couldn’t win.

Now it all depended on Gu Qingxiang. Whichever side she stood on, the scales of victory would tip that way!

Gu Qingxiang raised her head, looked at Xia Hongmian, then at the God.

The look in this guy’s eyes was full of brutality, conquest, rage...

If she helped it, then once it won, it would definitely keep going, and a war with humanity would be inevitable. Sooner or later the conflict would engulf the whole world, and there would be no peaceful haven left anywhere.

With Lin Baici’s personality, he would definitely stand up and fight until the war ended—or until the moment he died.

The little life she wanted would absolutely be gone!

If she chose Xia Hongmian, then she would be letting her people down.

But her father the Great Guardian, her mother, and several older brothers had already given everything for that country.

Her mother had said, I don’t want to see you die too. Live, live a safe, peaceful life.

If it had been a year ago, Xia Hongmian would’ve chosen to help her people without a second thought.

Because the way life was now, it was utterly joyless anyway.

Death,

might actually be a kind of release!

But now...

Gu Qingxiang thought of Lin Baici’s face.

She thought of the two of them having dinner together, thought of how after dinner one of them would sit on the couch scrolling on their phone while the other tidied up the house...

Last time he even came with her to feed the cats!

That calico cat was huge and fat!

Lin Baici said it was definitely the local cat king!

The corners of Gu Qingxiang’s mouth couldn’t help but curve up, revealing a small smile.

She could finally make squirrel fish well enough to be presentable.

Next time he came over, she’d make it for him to try.

Gu Qingxiang closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them again to look at the God, she spat out two words.

"I’m sorry."

The God’s pupils shrank suddenly, because those two words meant Gu Qingxiang had made her choice—and it wasn’t on its side.

"Why?"

The God couldn’t help but question, "You’re the Great Guardian, you’re powerful. As long as you make a move, even though our people are few, we can still conquer this world!"

"Because I don’t want to see war ever again."

Gu Qingxiang’s voice was calm. "Human potential is far greater than you expect. We can’t win."

"If I had descended in Europa, maybe I could agree with you, but this is Jiuzhou!"

"You know something?"

"I’ve only ever seen People from Jiuzhou die, never seen them kneel."

After Gu Qingxiang finished speaking, she ignored the God and looked at Xia Hongmian. "After it dies, hand over the spoils of war to Lin Baici."

"..."

Always so composed, Xia Hongmian’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

She knew Gu Qingxiang liked Lin Baici, but she hadn’t expected it to be to this extent!

Lin Baici,

are you some kind of humanoid succubus?

Gu Qingxiang didn’t hear Xia Hongmian’s reply, but she didn’t press either, just turned around and left.

What?

Xia Hongmian doesn’t give it to Lin Baici?

Then Gu Qingxiang would come take it herself, and by then, it wouldn’t just be this one bit of spoils.

Seeing Gu Qingxiang walk away without the slightest hesitation, the God fell into utter despair.

Because it knew it was going to die!

"If that’s how it is, then I’ll destroy this city and have it buried with me!"

The God roared, and with a boom, golden Flames erupted across its body.
