"You should have tied Nangong Mo to your side. He wronged you; why should he be able to abandon you time and time again, while you have to endure so much? What right does he have?"
"Speak up, why don't you speak?"
Gu Qianying, shrouded in dark energy, roared, her heart filled with grief.
Another woman's eyes welled up with tears as she shook her head, "It's not like that. He has his reasons. He bears the weight of all beings; this is the cycle he must go through. Why should I force him?"
The woman with dark energy surged forward, grabbing the other by the neck, "Shut up."
Her voice was hoarse, as if she had cried for a thousand years, leaving only sorrow.
"He abandoned me; he caused me to be disappointed time and again. He caused me to become like this. Why shouldn't I kill him?"
"No, he is the one I love. I absolutely will not allow you to say that. I absolutely will not."
Though they were one, each occupied a boundary, their bodies radiating sharpness that constantly pricked at the other.
Gu Qianying, as a third party, felt a throbbing pain in her head.
The argument between the two was unbearable for her.
She dared not even think about why she had such wicked thoughts.
That wasn't her.
At this moment, a long, drawn-out voice echoed through the space.
"Admit it! That is you. You are such a detestable person."
A blade appeared before Gu Qianying, the voice ceaselessly tempting her.
"People like you, what right do you have to live? Why do you live? You should die, you should die."
Gu Qianying was inexplicably bewitched, her mind repeatedly stirred.
Her hand, holding the blade, trembled, "What right do I have to live?"
Gu Qianying, with dark energy, also roared beside her, "What right do you have to live? People like you shouldn't live."
The woman beside her screamed wildly, covering her ears in panic.
"No, don't listen."
"You are you. Why live for others? You still have children, you still have a husband, you still have everything in this world."
"Why are you like this?"
Gu Qianying was quickly dissuaded, and the blade in her hand fell.
Her eyes widened, "Yes, why am I like this?"
Gu Qianying, shrouded in dark energy, rushed forward and whispered in Gu Qianying's ear, "Because you don't deserve to live."
"How could you have the thought of killing Nangong Mo? Is this still you?"
She laughed again, "Admit it! You are the most evil person in this world. Why do you pretend in front of everyone? And why?"
The other person also rushed forward, a look of anxiety on her face, shielding Gu Qianying.
"Stop talking. You and I are originally one. By forcing her like this now, do you want to die here too?"
Gu Qianying, shrouded in dark energy, laughed even more wildly.
"So what? This world is so unfair. I haven't wanted to live for a long time... I..."
"Hahahahaha."
As if stimulated, this person's power surged instantly, transforming into several wind blades, arrogantly and wantonly preparing to pierce Gu Qianying's body.
Gu Qianying was unable to retaliate against the person before her.
Her internal strength weakened repeatedly, and she immediately knelt on the ground, still murmuring, "Yes, a useless person like me, why should I live?"
"Kill me."
"No." The woman in white quickly embraced Gu Qianying, her voice incredibly gentle, as if possessing innate purifying power.
"Believe me, no matter what happens next, as long as we are together, we can overcome anything."
"Believe me."
"Believe you," Gu Qianying repeated expressionlessly.
Suddenly, many scenes flashed through her mind.
It was Nangong Mo, her husband.
The most frequent thing her husband said was to believe him.
They chose to believe, and that was why this path became a broad avenue, unhindered by anyone.
"Yes!"
As clarity surged above, Gu Qianying abruptly closed her eyes.
The clamor outside had instantly vanished.
Only peace remained.
The woman in white landed before her, extending her palm, a peaceful smile on her face.
"Believe me."
Gu Qianying finally smiled, "I believe you."
The woman shrouded in dark energy suffered a severe blow due to Gu Qianying's awakening.
She couldn't believe it and roared at the person before her.
"Why? Why believe that fool? This world is inherently ugly, was I wrong?"
Gu Qianying stood up and slowly floated into the air.
She looked down at the other person, "You are right. This world is inherently ugly; they are broken."
"But so what? This is just one corner of events. What can it represent?"
"You cannot represent me, and you will never be able to control me."
"No, no." The woman shrouded in dark energy cried out, clutching her head. She knelt on the ground, repeating one word, "No."
Gu Qianying ignored her and took the hand of the woman in white.
At the border of the barrier, she simply covered it with her hand. Without using any power, she instantly shattered it, rendering it broken.
Gu Qianying finally flew out of the predicament and returned to reality.
The visions before the other four people also instantly dissipated.
Relying on their strong willpower, they dispelled the evil spirits within them and began to regain clarity.
The five exchanged glances, exhaustion evident in their eyes.
So, the events of the past had no impact; that was all false.
Seeing their true selves, no one could easily accept it.
"We..." Du Chun attempted to speak but hesitated.
Everyone tacitly lowered their heads, snorted, and fell silent for a moment.
Ba Si Gui never expected.
That the five of them possessed such power, to even resist the evil spirits he specifically created. He was unwilling, deeply unwilling.
With a roar.
Ba Si Gui, unable to bear the humiliation, finally appeared before them.
He was a chaotic entity without a face or limbs.
Much like the evil spirits that appeared within their bodies.
Lacking physical form, yet capable of manipulating hearts.
"Damn it! Why did you break free? Why?"
A murderous glint flashed in Gu Qianying's eyes, "Because of that so-called malice, it has no effect on us."
"Do we survive to this day merely because of that malice? No, you were wrong from the start, terribly wrong. The reason we are as we are is because of the kindness in our hearts. You can still hold kindness."
Ba Si Gui found it incredibly ironic.
In his dreams, he had seen these people roaring, their despicable appearances.
Now, they had the audacity to speak of so-called kindness to him.
This was the greatest joke in the world.
