Chapter 2072: Seeing Him?

Xie Han and Cen Yuye were together, and they spent their entire lives very happily.

In his later years, Cen Yuye once took Gu Shengyin to a western island.

"The people here believe in their divinities, thinking their omnipotent God can fulfill all their wishes."

By that time, he was already old and grey, his face lined with wrinkles, yet the gaze he cast on his wife was as tender and loving as it had been for decades.

"I’ve never believed in these things throughout my life, but in my old age, I’ve changed my mind."

He held his elderly wife’s hand and solemnly bowed down to the giant statue.

"I hope, in the next life, I can find you again, and we can be husband and wife."

By this time, Gu Shengyin had become a kindly-eyed old lady.

She squeezed her old partner’s hand, smiling joyfully: "We will. I will come look for you too."

Fate will not keep them apart.

...

When she opened her eyes again, Gu Shengyin’s gaze was calm.

She glanced at the system.

The system instantly understood her intention.

"The host can continue to try."

Gu Shengyin felt the power within her, a sense of unprecedented confidence.

She could sense that she was just a step away from reaching that realm.

Extending her right hand, she sliced through the void beside her, and a pitch-black fissure instantly appeared before Gu Shengyin.

She stepped in without hesitation.

It was still the same scene she had seen before, the pressure from the time and space rift resting upon Gu Shengyin, yet she paid it no mind, walking forward step by step.

There was no predetermined route here, she could only rely on herself to forge ahead slowly.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Gu Shengyin had no idea how far she had walked, as if it was only a short time, yet seemed like a thousand years had passed.

She could only feel the pressure on her growing stronger and stronger.

It had reached the point where she could barely endure it.

Just one step back and this overwhelming feeling of pressure, ready to explode, would disappear.

But this was far from the limit.

Her steps became very slow, but her gaze grew increasingly firm.

Suddenly, her steps halted.

In her steadfast gaze, there seemed to be a glimmer of light.

This is it!

A powerful intuition told her, this was the place where the endpoint lay.

She took a deep breath, resisting the immense pressure coming from the endless fissure, and abruptly extended her hand, slicing forward!

A gigantic rift opened before her eyes.

It was as if countless blinding white lights appeared before Gu Shengyin.

Amidst those lights, she saw a figure in green.

He seemed very far away, seemingly unreachable, yet also very close, Gu Shengyin could even make out the cloud patterns faintly embroidered on his green robe.

In just an instant, her tears began to fall.

She knew, it was him.

Her feet could not move another inch forward; she could only pray that he could sense her watching and turn around to look at her.

Perhaps the thought was too intense, for he seemed to sense something, his figure moved slightly, and then he slowly turned his head towards this side...

Yet before Gu Shengyin could see his face, the space behind her, as if sensing some immense, terrifying existence, suddenly began to collapse inch by inch.

"Host, come back quickly!" The system’s voice, seemingly carrying a hint of urgency, suddenly appeared in her mind.

An irresistible force pulled Gu Shengyin, and in the next instant, took her back to that Pure White Space.
