Chapter 401 Are You Willing?

From the initial probing, to the gradual confirmation of the identity, until the final dagger was revealed, and the final trump card was revealed.

Toure was in control of the rhythm of the conversation almost throughout the whole process.

Now it was just the last step, and the great thing would be accomplished.

Toure patiently waited for Guiji's reply, neither urging nor persuading him.

Guiji clenched his fists and loosened them several times, his eyes aimlessly scanning the surroundings, and countless thoughts in his mind kept washing away, making him undecided.

After a long silence.

Guiji took a silent breath and said calmly, "If the [God-making Ceremony] succeeds, will I lose my mind?"

Toure nodded.

Guiji continued to ask, "Will I become a monster who only knows killing and destruction, and can never change back to the original state?"

Toure nodded again.

"So, whether the [God-making Ceremony] succeeds or fails, my final fate will be either death in the hands of the demon clan or death in the hands of 'him', right?"

Guiji concluded calmly.

Tu Lei nodded slowly and said faintly, "So, are you willing?"

Gui Ji's eyes no longer wandered, and his clenched fists were completely loosened. His sight slowly focused on Tu Lei's face, and he spoke word by word.

"I am willing."

The corners of Tu Lei's mouth slowly flattened, putting away all the playful expressions, and looked at Gui Ji seriously.

"Okay."

"I will tell you all the plans next..."

......

Different from the undercurrents and dark clouds in Fengdu City.

In Yaoguang City, there is a thriving scene.

Whether it is merchants and hawkers or ordinary workers, they are all full of confidence in the future.

It seems that the demons far away in Fengdu City are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered, and they are not to be feared at all.

Lu Changsheng sat on his favorite folding chair, shaking gently unconsciously.

His spirit has entered the fragment of the godhead in his hand, and he can't feel anything in the outside world.

This situation lasted for a whole morning, until the sun had moved to the top of his head, and he withdrew from the small world in the fragment of the godhead.

"It's a bit difficult..." Lu Changsheng sighed softly, and put away the fragment of the godhead a little depressed.

He had completely mastered the method and feeling of entering that small world, but new problems followed.

Lu Changsheng found that his control over that world had reached its peak. All the changes inside were within his thoughts, but there was still no sign of promotion.

He seemed to have walked into a dead end, blocked by a thin piece of window paper in front of him, and he couldn't break through it no matter what.

"Master, you have been sitting here for a whole morning. Senior sister called you to eat three times, but you didn't hear it."

"If you don't come to eat again, Senior sister will transform."

"Our Changsheng Hall can't stand that Tyrannosaurus."

Behind Lu Changsheng came the teasing voice of Gou Shengzi.

"Don't say that about your senior sister..." Lu Changsheng shook his head, temporarily put aside his previous thoughts, and slowly stood up from the folding chair.

"Jia'er is not that irritable."

Gou Shengzi chuckled and put away the folding chair, put it back aside, and followed his master.

"When are you going to the officer training camp?" Lu Changsheng sat down at the dining table and asked Gou Shengzi.

"I will report there next week. Lao Chi briefly introduced the situation there. If I go to the officer training camp this time, if it's fast, I can come back in five years. If it's slow, I'm afraid it will take ten years."

"You can't graduate from the officer training camp without breaking through the realm of the venerable."

Gou Shengzi said a little disappointed.

"Ah?" Gu Jia always thought that Gou Shengzi was just going to study for a while and would be back home soon. When she heard that he would be gone for so many years, she jumped up from the chair on the spot, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a "click".

"Why does it take so long?"

"What if no one makes delicious food for you there?"

"What if you want to eat spare ribs?"

"Can I not go?"

A series of questions came out of Gu Jia's mouth like a string of cannonballs.

For Gu Jia, unless she gave up entering the Sky, with her current way of cultivation, five years in the world would probably take dozens or even hundreds of years in the Sky.

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, signaling Gu Jia not to get excited, "Don't worry, Jia'er, Er Gouzi and I are still at home."

"Being able to break through to the Venerable is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate for the awakened, which is a good thing. Moreover, all resources are provided by the Demon Slayer Division, which means that all worries are solved."

"In this world, there is no reason to take advantage without paying."

"With Gou Shengzi's strength, I believe he will be back in no time."

Gu Jia opened and closed her lips several times, with a face full of hesitation.

In the end, she still didn't tell the secret about the sky. Although she felt very wronged, Gu Jia still didn't want her junior brother to give up his future and development because of her little emotions.

Gu Jia sat back on the chair weakly, drooping her head listlessly, and crystal tears began to emerge in her eyes.

Gou Shengzi looked at the aggrieved senior sister and felt very uncomfortable.

He moved his buttocks, sat next to Senior Sister, put his arm around her shoulders, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will work hard to practice."

"If not five years, at most four years..."

"No, within three years at most, I will break through the realm of the Venerable and return home."

"I will eat well and rest well outside. I can take care of myself."

Gu Jiawei nodded invisibly, but still buried his head low, feeling extremely depressed.

"If it's next week...it'll be in time for the New Year." Ergouzi looked at the unusually dull atmosphere on the dining table and tried hard to liven up the atmosphere.

"Well, it was because of the New Year that the officer training camp was delayed for a few days."

"Our family can have a good New Year."

"Senior sister, is it my turn to cook New Year's Eve dinner this year?"

"Watch me show you off!"

Gou Shengzi shook Gu Jia's shoulders, trying his best to make the atmosphere more cheerful.

Gu Jia burst out laughing, quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her little hands, and said in a dumbfounded voice, "Forget it, let me do it. If I let you cook, I'm afraid you'll get food poisoning and won't be able to catch up." A day to report.”

The four masters and disciples looked at each other and laughed in unison.

New Year...

This is already the sixth New Year that I have spent in this world.

Lu Changsheng thought with some emotion in his heart.

In the first three years after he traveled to this world, Lu Changsheng spent the New Year alone.

The New Year in Changshengtang is really deserted.

Lu Changsheng looked at the three familiar faces, joking and laughing with each other. Discussing how to rearrange the home, what food needs to be purchased, and what things need to be prepared.

Noisy.

The originally cold Changshengtang is now finally...

It also feels like home.
