I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

For Gu Xiu, the ability to experience a lifetime in a single glance was already second nature. Although he still didn't know why this had happened to him, he understood something after the previous experience.

In a glance, eternity passes.

He was an observer, an invincible observer.

No matter whose secrets he is looking at, no matter who he is facing, the other party will never be able to discover him and will be completely unaware of his existence.

This much is certain.

But this time, things went wrong.

This self has discovered itself, and is even having a conversation with itself!

Facing those evil eyes that belonged to him but would never appear in his eyes, Gu Xiu pondered for a moment before finally responding: "So, what I saw this time wasn't some kind of love at first sight, was it?"

"Love at first sight?"

The "Gu Xiu" smiled, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Have you ever thought that the so-called 'love at first sight' is just your own idea? In this world, there is no such thing as love at first sight."

As soon as these words came out.

Gu Xiu's eyelids twitched violently.

If the concept of "a glance lasting a thousand years" doesn't exist, then what did I see before, or what did I see on the day I abandoned Qingxuan?

Fantasy?

Reborn?

Or...

The foreseeable future?

At this moment, even Gu Xiu, whose mind had long been tempered into a state of calm as still water, couldn't help but feel a ripple. But just then, he suddenly noticed that the person below him was looking at him with a strange light in their eyes.

It was only a fleeting glimpse, but Gu Xiu still managed to discern something from that extraordinary light.

That's anticipation!

He's looking forward to it!

This discovery instantly calmed the turmoil that had been churning in Gu Xiu's heart. He didn't know what this person was expecting, nor whether what he said was true or false, but he always remembered that he was in the midst of the tribulation of lighting lamps, which was a test of the seven emotions.

If you are confused, you will only give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of you!

really.

Seeing how quickly he calmed down, that other self felt a little regretful: "Sigh, I am who I am. Even though I have never seen my true self, I am still very smart and able to react so quickly."

"Are you my inner demon?" Gu Xiu asked.

"Inner demons?" The other person shook their head: "You and I are one. Is anything that doesn't go your way called an inner demon? I felt before that you had gone astray, which is why you haven't remembered your true self even now. Now it seems that's indeed the case."

"What is the true self you're talking about?" Gu Xiu asked.

"What do you think our birth is?" the other person asked in return.

born……

Gu Xiu’s eyelids twitched slightly.

In the past, he would have answered without hesitation that he was just an orphan picked up by the Qingxuan Ancestor.

But now, facing this problem again, Gu Xiu thought of how much the man in black robes cared about his background. The old drunkard and Guan Chen were all hinting at something, telling him to pay attention to his background. This, combined with what Jiang Xun had just said, made him realize the importance of his past.

He began to have a vague guess in his mind, and asked hesitantly:

"So, he's an immortal?"

"An immortal?" Gu Xiu grinned, his eyes still brimming with wickedness, but now carrying an air of absolute dominance and arrogance.

"The title of 'immortal' is not worthy of us!"

"To this world, we are the masters, the gods. Even in the Immortal Realm, this will not change. Jiang Xun is only fit to be our pawn."

"so."

"You shouldn't belittle yourself; instead, you should be bolder and make more daring guesses!"

Want to be even bolder?

Gu Xiu's eyes gleamed with a strange light: "You mean to say that we are actually beings with very high status in the Immortal Realm, and that we descended to this mortal realm to seize the blessings, while Jiang Xun, this immortal who had a clear goal from the beginning, is actually just a pawn placed in the open?"

"A correct answer, but not entirely correct," the other party replied.

"Fuyuan is too mysterious, so many people are plotting against it. Even these so-called senior sisters of Qingxuan have people secretly supporting and betting on them. But they don't realize that the target they thought they were targeting has already become me, and I have replaced them."

"I, or rather we, are the biggest winners."

"It's just a pity."

As he spoke, this "Gu Xiu" glanced at Gu Xiu, a hint of regret in his eyes:

"You are still too foolish after all."

"I still haven't seen my true self, and I still haven't figured out who I really am."

"Fortunately, I have already taken measures to correct all mistakes. And now is the time for my true self to return, and the time for us to truly become one."

The moment he finished speaking, Gu Xiu suddenly realized that transparent threads had appeared on his body without him even noticing.

It was connected with Gu Xiu, the evil one who should have been seen for eternity.

The two are connected and will merge.

Along with this fusion, certain memories that did not originally belong to Gu Xiu also constantly impacted his mind during this process.

"The Three Realms are ultimately just a low-lying area. Fortune is the source of all things. I will personally lead the expedition to that sinful land, enter the game myself, and take away the immortal destiny that has stirred up the world."

"A pawn of the Immortal Venerable? The Immortal Venerable is nothing special. I will accept his pawn."

"I will seal away my memories and the past, and use the name of Gu Xiu to plot against the Three Realms and Six Paths. Only by seeing my true self can I awaken. At that time, I will return."

"This doll actually has a way of accompanying you; it must be extraordinary?"

"From now on, your name is Gu Xiu, and this is Qingxuan."

These memories are disjointed.

It was like a series of separate, fragmented images. Yet, even so, these fragmented images allowed Gu Xiu to see things beyond his expectations.

He could always feel that he was in the middle of a game of chess, with a powerful hand behind him constantly controlling everything.

But I never expected this.

The player holding the chess pieces.

Is it yourself?

From the very beginning, I was in a high position, and I entered the game myself. I came to this world under the alias Gu Xiu, just to seize the blessing in this forbidden land. The schemes of everyone else were actually part of my own scheme from the very beginning.

even……

If we think along these lines...

Even the seemingly endless span of time that I can never see through is probably part of my plan, just to help me find my so-called true self.

At this moment, Gu Xiu felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.

He could clearly feel that he was merging with another version of himself. Along with this, his mind was filled not only with fragmented memories, but also with thoughts that would never have crossed his mind in the first place.

These thoughts seemed to be telling Gu Xiu.

Give up resistance, accept your true self, accept the truth.

become……

True self!

He could even feel his cultivation level soaring.

That was the powerful force within another version of himself, allowing him to skip the numerous tribulations of the Nascent Soul stage, and then transcend the Void Refinement, Mahayana, and even Ascension stages...

Since I am not originally from this world, I naturally do not need to follow the proper steps and cultivate step by step.

He can rediscover his true self.

One step to the sky!
