Tang Wulin listened to her narration patiently. His heart was swarmed with mixed emotions.âWhy are you telling me this now? Are you afraid that you wonât have the chance to do so in the future?â
Gu Yuena shook her head. âNo. Actually, I canât tell if Iâm Gu Yue or Naâer now. Or should I say, Iâm both. Our fusion occurs gradually anyhow. Do you know the change in me after the fusion?â
Tang Wulin was stunned. âWhat change?â
Gu Yuena smiled. âLots more love. Itâs the combination of two peopleâs love. This may perhaps be our final battle. Thus, Iâm going to tell you this regardless of whether you believe in me or not. Iâm willing to give up the whole world for you.â
Tang Wulin smiled. He wrapped his arms around her. âIâm going to tell you this too. Iâm willing to love the whole world for you.â
Gu Yuena closed her eyes. Drops of crystal clear tears rolled down her long lashes. She hugged him tightly. This was perhaps their last chance together.
âBuzz, buzz, buzz...â A deep buzzing sound was heard echoing throughout Thule. The ground began to shake mildly as well.
Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena raised their heads simultaneously and looked into the distance. The silver light shield began to shake volently while the silver radiance became warped.
It was finally time. The end battle was drawing near.
Gu Yuena stood up with the Silver Dragon Dance Qilin cladded to her body while she grasped the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand. In the extreme cold, her last teardrop turned into an ice crystal before hitting the ground.
Tang Wulin grasped at thin air with his right hand. A piercing golden radiance was seen and the Sea Godâs Trident landed in his palm.
Mankindâs powerhouses unleashed their battle armors as well. The soldiers were done with their final preparations.
âCrack!â A piercing sound was heard. A watery blue rift instantly appeared on the surface of the silver light shield in the distance. In the next moment, a large area of the silver radiance dispersed akin to a receding tide.
The abyssal Sage King stepped out and walked on the ground with an icy cold expression in his gaze.
He had been confined by the spatial lock for three whole days. It was mankindâs feeble attempt to delay him from completing his dream Divine Realm. This infuriated the abyssal Sage King immensely.
He could sense that Tang Wulin was still alive in the distance. So what? Nothing stood in the way before the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss. Would three days of delay change their destiny?
The Ancient Life Tree in the distance was within his sight. The battlefield was filled with rich life sources which vaguely resisted his aura. He found nothing fulfilling. Mankind was still as insignificant as before.
âTang... Wu... Lin...â All of a sudden, a shriek echoed throughout the entire scene. It was apparent the sound was from a soul loudspeaker.
Tang Wulin, whose entire body had tensed in preparation to brace the abyssal Sage Kingâs attack, was stunned for a moment. Who would call him at this very moment?
In the next moment, a pink light shadow surged skyward from the mountain peak in the distance. The pink turned gold-red the next moment. It shot straight at the abyssal Sage King in the form of a shocking rainbow. At the same time, there was a sob, followed by a sad, bitter, recalcitrant, yet reckless voice.
âI... love... you...â
âNo...â Tang Wulinâs expression changed drastically in an instant. He called aloud, but it was too late for him to do anything.
The abyssal Sage Kingâs pupils constricted abruptly. He swung the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss in his hand, but the gold-red radiance was moving too fast. It was so swift that his eyes could not track it.
The Heaven Saint Crack Abyss struck the gold-red radiance in an incomparably precise manner. In the next moment, an unprecedented huge explosion burst out.
âRumble rumble rumble...â
Even the people that were watching in every corner of the Douluo Federation through the large screens could feel their ears humming from the unexpectedly loud booming noise despite being far away from the epicenter.
On the other hand, everyone on the mankind legionâs side on the battlefield lost their hearing temporarily almost in an instant.
It was a majestic scene! The explosion was violent beyond comparison. The enormous mushroom cloud rose along with the incomparably light and heat instantly to illuminate the entire battlefield. Even the purple sun in the sky seemed to have been already dimmed at this very moment.
In a flash, Tang Wulinâs vision blurred. He was well aware of who that person was and also what sort of attack it was!
...
âMy name is Ling Zichen. You can address me as Director Ling. Iâm from the Tang Sectâs soul ammunition research center!â
âHello, Director Ling. Welcome to Shrek.â
âIâm expressing my utter dissatisfaction in regards to my being transferred here without any clear explanation or reason provided. Although you are the Tang Sectâs Sect Master, do you know how important my current research is? Stopping my research halfway is equal to stopping my train of thought. Itâs going to take God knows how long before I can tidy up my train of thought once again. Our research has been carried out continuously for a total of three consecutive years by over one hundred and ten scientists. As the centerâs director and the head scientist, my departure will greatly affect their progress. I hope that the Sect Master will be able to provide me with a reasonable explanation.â
âIâm very sorry, Director Ling. I was genuinely unaware that you were a researcher. Itâs just that thereâs something very crucial that we have to deal with, so we are now in need of your help. That is why we took the liberty to summon you here.â
âI truly donât know what those two Excellencies were thinking when they appointed a sect master like you. You donât have any guts at all. Tell me, whatâs the point of being a good-looking man? Youâre simply a sissy.â
âAlright. Tell me quickly. What do you need me for? After this has ended, Iâll still need to return as soon as possible. Iâll give you half a day, no, three hoursâ time. I donât think that youâll have an issue that requires more than that for me to solve.â
...
âEveryone protect Ling Zichen and be prepared for combat.â
âWulin, please help me stabilize the carriage!â
âYouâre truly a lunatic!â
âWe are pressed for time. We canât complete the modification process in time without using my mecha as the carriage. Do you think that the modification is an easy task? Come, quick. Stand behind me and help me stabilize the carriage. The kickback is going to be extremely strong. Be prepared.â
...
âAre you scared?â
âThis has nothing to do with whether Iâm scared or not. How can you take yourself so lightly?â
âThis is unrelated to my taking myself lightly or not. As a scientist, I care only about the success rate. I thought about using my body as the carriage since Iâm the one most familiar with the Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit unit on the continent at present. On the other hand, thereâs only one Eternal Heaven which is more lethal than the one I developed earlier. If I want to make it a long-term reusable superweapon, Iâll need to make slight modifications to the Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit unit continuously. Iâll also carry out some adjustments during the launch process. Iâm not a soul master, but there are many Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit units in my body composition. My spiritual consciousness is linked to the Eternal Heaven so that it is most effective when in use. In this way, the success rate will be increased by eighteen point five percent as compared to placing the carriage elsewhere. Do you know the significance of this number? It means the overall safety is improved by twenty percent. The difference is substantial. So, how can I not do it? Moreover, Iâve succeeded. Iâm the superweapon now. Iâve to say that even youâre incapable of withstanding a frontal blast from me. Hahaha! Iâm going to be our Tang Sectâs cannon god in the future.â
âWhatâs going on? Why arenât you saying anything?â
âZichen, youâve sacrificed too much.â
âDo you think Iâm a monster? That Iâm a crazy woman?â
âNo, I donât. Iâve never thought of you as a monster before. In my heart, you are a respectable scientist. You gave your life to science. You are the pride of Tang Sect.â
âBut, Iâm a woman too. I yearn for the things a woman yearns for. Even if I only think about it occasionally, Iâm still a woman after all.â
âPrepare to launch the Eternal Heaven cannon! Tang Wulin, stabilize the carriage.â
