Above all spirits

Chapter 373 The Boundless Tribulation of Gods and Demons

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li immediately stood up. In disbelief, he turned to look at Gu Yun, then at Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan, who had maintained a calm demeanor throughout, was now shattered by terror, with large beads of sweat on his forehead clearly indicating his fear.

"Rebirth?"

"There really is such a thing?"

Being from Earth, their ability to adapt is indeed strong.

Xiao Li quickly sat down and began to look at Chen Yuan with a different gaze. Xiao Li had no doubt about what Gu Yun had said.

This also cleared up many misunderstandings.

Gu Yun's gaze remained fixed on Chen Yuan.

he continued.

"There's no need to deny it, and there's no need to be nervous."

"You are not the only special person in this world."

“Rebirth might be something that defies common sense for others, and they might even subconsciously reject it and not even consider it. But Xiao Li and I are different.”

"We also bear certain special burdens."

Chen Yuan did not respond immediately, a flicker in his eyes, as if he was struggling with something inside.

no doubt.

He couldn't refute Gu Yun's assertive statement.

He was somewhat relieved that Gu Yun did not show any fanaticism.

In Chen Yuan's understanding, if a normal person knew and confirmed this news, they would probably dissect themselves and wish they could turn their brains upside down.

Chen Yuan had no faith in Gu Yun's so-called special theories.

how?

Can't this particularity be added together?

His rebirth was entirely due to the Reincarnation Jade.

Chen Yuan did not believe that Gu Yun and Xiao Li would remain indifferent after learning about the Reincarnation Jade.

Judging from their reaction, they seemed unaware of the Reincarnation Jade.

Also.

If I hadn't been reborn, I wouldn't have believed that such a magical artifact existed.

However, even so, Chen Yuan still couldn't understand why Gu Yun and Xiao Li remained unmoved after confirming his rebirth.

what is this?

A stroke of luck amidst misfortune?

In this respect, Chen Yuan truly wronged Gu Yun and Xiao Li.

True.

If Gu Yun were to learn of the existence of the Reincarnation Jade at this moment, Chen Yuan would likely be the first person of great fortune to perish.

Gu Yun would not give up on a potential asset that could change him and even help him reach the top of the Upper Realm.

Even if Chen Yuan in front of her was once Bai Qing'er's partner, she would still show no mercy.

The past was before and the present is now.

At this moment, Bai Qing'er didn't recognize Chen Yuan at all.

Unless Chen Yuan obediently hands it over.

The reason why Gu Yun and Xiao Li were not so fanatical was simply because, in their view, "rebirth" only happens once.

At least in most fantasy novels from Earth, rebirth only happens once, after all, there's that one great immortal who can use the Spring and Autumn Cicada.

Therefore, for Chen Yuan, it was indeed a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

A while passed.

Chen Yuan calmly considered Gu Yun's so-called special characteristics for a while. He couldn't let Gu Yun grasp any detail of their conversation. Gu Yun was very perceptive, but at least she didn't seem to have thought of the Reincarnation Jade.

This "Heavenly Demon" did not exist in his previous life.

Chen Yuan finally spoke slowly, his voice low and tinged with a hint of helplessness.

Are you all like that too?

At this moment, he had calmed the turmoil in his heart.

This is both an acknowledgment of Gu Yun's guess and a test of Gu Yun's background. Gu Yun knows so much and can guess, although it is impossible for him to be the same as himself. But saying this can suppress the presence of the Reincarnation Jade to the minimum.

"we are not."

Gu Yun shook his head in denial.

"Could you tell me what happened in the future? How did you meet Bai Qing'er, and what is her future like?"

Although Gu Yun's intervention changed Bai Qing'er's life, Gu Yun still wanted to know about the future.

"Oh."

"This is a question."

This means that Chen Yuan must answer Gu Yun's question, otherwise he might be executed.

Xiao Li also tilted his head to listen. His system couldn't predict the future, but he was just as curious about it.

Upon hearing Gu Yun mention Bai Qing'er from the future world, Chen Yuan's lips twitched slightly, as if he was trying to suppress some emotion within him, and sadness welled up from within.

Knowing that there's no way to avoid it, it might not be a bad thing if there were someone else to shoulder the burden in the future.

Chen Yuan sighed.

"Dead, all dead."

"In the future, everything that exists today will cease to exist."

"Whether they are beings from the lower realms or gods and demons, they no longer exist."

Gu Yun frowned slightly, but did not interrupt.

"The future trend can be divided into three stages. The current peaceful and stable situation can be considered one stage. After the collapse of the heavens, the rules that maintain the upper and lower realms will partially collapse, and gods and demons will sweep in and rule the lower realm. This can be considered another stage. At that time, all living beings thought that this was all there was to it. If they were oppressed, they would be oppressed. After all, the collapse was local, and the living beings in the lower realm still had room to breathe."

"But who knew that, after an unknown period of time, a despairing message spread among all living beings: this collapse was actually caused by living beings, and it was still expanding."

"No, they may no longer be living beings, if that's what you should know."

Gu Yun had thought of it and echoed Chen Yuan's words.

"Void creatures?"

Chen Yuan seemed to recall something, his eyes revealing despair.

"Yes."

"Later generations called them 'virtual beasts'."

"Most of these virtual beasts are mindless, like machines."

"In fact, they are a collection of the dregs in the operation of the world's rules. This world is like an airship that has never been maintained. Without constant cleaning and inspection, the parts that start the airship begin to age and rust, interfering with the normal operation of the machine. The virtual beasts are a collection of distorted rules."

"The only way to deal with them is to use the same power of rules; otherwise, even if you suppress them for a while, you won't be able to kill them completely."

"If that were all, they would only be considered difficult to deal with, but in the later stages, individuals with self-awareness emerged among these virtual beasts."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he trembled slightly. It was hard to imagine that Chen Yuan, who had not trembled even under Gu Yun's oppressive aura, lost his composure simply from recalling the past.

"We can't beat them..."

"We really can't beat them..."

"Thus, the world ends."

"Gods and demons are the same. Whether it is a demon king or a god king, they are all the same and cannot withstand the erosion of the void."

"Therefore, some people call this a calamity for the world."

"A calamity that the world will inevitably face when it reaches a certain stage of development."

"Later generations have said that this calamity began long ago, but was suppressed by something. It is unimaginable what kind of powerful being could have stopped the calamity that even gods and demons could not stop."

"Unfortunately, we failed them."

"And this calamity could not be stopped by gods or demons in the slightest."

Also known as the Boundless Calamity of Gods and Demons.
