Chapter 1908 - 1495: Obsession Becomes Sorrow, No Regret Forges the Demon!

This is the first time, even Gu Changsheng’s heart couldn’t help but sprout a feeling of despair!

They have experienced everything of the No Return Path, so naturally, they know that everything related to the Ancient Wilderness is beyond their imagination!

That memory lost in the river of time is simply a forbidden existence! Touch it and die!

"What nonsense! Be careful!" Zhou Mu heard this, immediately turned his head, looked at the little woman in his arms, frowned and whispered reprimandingly. However, halfway through his sentence, his face changed dramatically!

A wave surged towards their faces, crashing head-on!

The overwhelming pressure, although they weren’t personally experiencing all of this, the moisture carried in the waves still suffocated them!

Zhou Mu instinctively moved, shielding Gu Changsheng in his arms, turning his back towards the immense wave carrying boundless power!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"..."

The sound of impacts, the sound of falling, the sound of the waves...

Resonated deafeningly in the Sixth Layer of the Star Innate Tower!

At that moment, Gu Changsheng felt as if she wasn’t in the Star Innate Tower, but in the midst of the Ancient Era, in the divine catastrophe caused by the war of the Gods!

The overwhelming waves seemed to want to sweep away all living things, purging everything, with the boundless might suffocating, stifling, constantly enveloped by the threat of death!

"Pft!"

"Pft!"

"..."

No one knows who, under the intense power of the waves and in the constant impacts, first spat out a mouthful of blood!

This sound seemed to instantly ignite a fierce fire around Gu Changsheng!

The sound of blood spitting was continuous, a faint scent of blood mixed with the salty smell of the waves from the Ancient memories, filling all the spaces around Gu Changsheng!

"Uh..."

In a trance, Gu Changsheng only felt a muffled groan above her head, panicked she looked up, and saw the evildoer’s lips slowly bleeding!

"Evildoer!"

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng panicked instantly, grabbed Zhou Mu’s clothes, and exclaimed.

Earlier, when that unavoidable wave surged, Zhou Mu had protected her behind him!

While she was unharmed, Zhou Mu’s back was fully exposed to the impact of the wave!

"Pft!"

Just after Gu Changsheng exclaimed, another sound of blood spitting occurred beside her!

Gu Changsheng turned around in a panic, only to see Shi Wujue stagger, almost falling, his face originally pale from illness now incredibly terrible!

"Shi Wujue!"

In Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes, all sense of reason was lost!

They have no Inner Strength!

If they had Inner Strength, perhaps they could still find a chance of survival in the face of this divine catastrophe wave!

However, the first layer of the Star Innate Tower, the place where armor and weapons are stripped, has left them with nothing, the only thing slightly better than ordinary people is the physique honed during times of famine!

But, even the strongest physique cannot withstand this baptism from the world-destroying catastrophe in Ancient memories!

At this moment, Gu Changsheng felt unprecedented panic and helplessness!

This vast Sixth Layer of the Star Innate Tower seemed to have trapped them in a cage disaster, facing a real deluge of fierceness, they had no means, and no way to escape!

"Ta You! Do you want us to back down? Or do you want us to die an unnatural death! Ta You! Come out!"

Memories of the Ancient times, a forbidden existence, invincible!

At this moment, all Gu Changsheng could do was question the owner of the Star Innate Tower, the one who designed everything within it!

Looking up at the tower top, Gu Changsheng’s face was full of blazing anger. He shouted fiercely, "Ta You, say something! I know you can see everything in the Star Innate Tower, speak up! Tell me, do you want us to die here? What good does it do you if we die here?"

The scene before his eyes was still surging with waves.

The quiet tower top, stars twinkling, seemingly like countless pairs of eyes, flickering with dim light!

For some reason, after Gu Changsheng shouted these words, the raging waves seemed to freeze, mysteriously halting their attack, suspended in the air before them!

Silence!

An eerie silence spread silently within the Sixth Layer of the Star Innate Tower!

Just when everyone thought Ta You wouldn’t respond, a faint sigh, as if from the horizon, carrying boundless loneliness and compassion, resonated at the tower top...

"Ta You! Tell me, do you really want to kill us? The ancient memories have vanished in the river of history, what are you trying to achieve by using them to block our way?" Gu Changsheng knew that this familiar yet strange voice was Ta You’s. Immediately supporting Zhou Mu, stepping forward, looking up with a stern voice, "If you want to kill us, come at us openly and let’s fight with all our might, each meeting their fate! What’s the skill in using such means, borrowing powers not belonging to you? You deceitful bastard!"

Don’t blame Gu Changsheng for speaking harshly, at this moment she couldn’t worry about Ta You’s identity, disregarding the slight fear in her heart of Ta You!

Her evildoer was injured!

She and her evildoer had been together for so long, rarely had he been injured, but now, in this Star Innate Tower, under Ta You’s scheming layout, he was hurt!

Not only her evildoer, but even Shi Wujue, even Yuan Bao...

Everyone around her, familiar or unknown, couldn’t escape unscathed under the sweep of these ancient memories!

Only her!

Under the protection of her evildoer, she remained largely intact!

But only for now!

If things continue like this, Gu Changsheng knows they absolutely have no chance of leaving the Sixth Layer of the Star Innate Tower alive!

Shi Wujue had said, the ancient memories, time cannot be traced back, mortals cannot perceive, seeing them means death!

To die in such inexplicable circumstances, Gu Changsheng refuses to accept!

"I do not intend to kill you, I’m only showing you how terrifying and unpredictable the things you pursue are! How tragic the truth is, how mournful!"

Ta You’s voice, from atop the Star Innate Tower, quietly echoed, bearing endless antiquity, seeming to plunge into reminiscence, indescribably frail!

"How are the things I pursue terrifying? How are they unpredictable? Only by knowing the truth can one die without regrets! I merely want to find the Goddess’s relic, to fulfill a long-held wish!" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately spoke in a deep voice, her bright face showing unwavering determination in the mottled lighting of the Star Innate Tower, "And all Shi Wujue seeks is a truth. Ta You, you’re born extraordinary, Northern Mongolian reveres you as Divine Residence, but do you have obsessions? Anything you’d complete even in death?"

"Obsession..." Ta You at the tower top, hearing this, gazed at the Bright Moon, suddenly somewhat dazed, a boyish small face not seen for decades showed a hint of confusion, finally, the corner of his mouth slightly curved, a self-mocking smile, his voice continued to be old as always, bleakly continuing, "Obsession Becomes Sorrow, unwittingly creating demons, only we fools bother ourselves..."

In the Sixth Layer of the Star Innate Tower, for some reason, hearing this, Gu Changsheng instinctively wanted to laugh!

We!

Ta You actually used "we"!

The owner of that seemingly weathered voice actually told her he too is a fool, he too is bothered!

This is the biggest joke Gu Changsheng has heard in her life!

But this is not important. At this moment, Gu Changsheng has no time to care about these things, before her, the scene of ancient memories still frozen, waves still menacing, seemingly about to pour down in the next instant, taking all their lives away!

Gu Changsheng seems to clearly see, in those frozen waves, the ancient people’s visage before death, so unwilling and terrified...

"Ta You, we only want to go to the Divine Demise Land, to search for the Goddess’s relics. We don’t wish to explore these memories, nor have the ability to do so. If you don’t wish to take our lives, then tell me, what’s your intention in doing this?" Gu Changsheng’s face was full of seriousness!

Twice!

They’ve already twice encountered fragments of ancient memories in Northern Mongolian territory!

This forbidden presence, appearing twice on their northern expedition, although Gu Changsheng privately hopes it’s just a coincidence, but inwardly she knows, in the world, where is there pure coincidence?

All coincidence is inevitable!

"Gu Changsheng, your journey to the Far North, and what the Shi Clan descendants seek, align similarly! What I want to tell you is, in this world, I can take the lives of everyone, but you’re the only one I want to kill for release, yet can’t bring myself to do it! Do you think you know what you’re seeking in the Far North? Do you know what will happen when the Divine Demise Land opens, when the Goddess Palace is unveiled? Gu Changsheng, obsession ultimately becomes sorrow, I cannot kill you, I can only risk everything to let you glimpse a corner of it, as for whether you’ll stop here, that’s beyond my power to change. Gu Changsheng, after you’ve seen it all, if you still insist on going to the Far North to explore the Goddess’s relics, then the prelude of this memory, all that happened, will be unavoidable, inescapable!"

Ta You’s voice, once more rang out, compassionate and desolate, "Gu Changsheng, my words end here, obsession becomes sorrow, misunderstanding creates demons, this is my advice to you! If you’re willing to give up the northern expedition, I can immediately send you out of the tower!"

"Don’t even think about it!" Hearing Ta You’s words, Gu Changsheng was indeed shaken in her heart.

However, asking her to give up the northern expedition is nothing short of a fool’s dream!

In the inn outside the Star Innate Tower, her birth parents still lie in the cold coffin, how could she possibly give up?
