Above all spirits

Chapter 343 Death?

"Big brother, you must have heard of zombies on Earth, right?"

"Like those post-apocalyptic novels, where you get infected just from being bitten."

Gu Yun frowned slightly, looked up at him, and asked a question in her eyes.

Seeing that Gu Yun seemed to understand, Xiao Li continued to explain.

"Brother, your body is actually in the same situation right now."

"The goddess of life, through your blood as a medium, uses certain methods of tracing back to the source to inject the source of deathly intent into your body. The deathly intent will gradually devour the vitality within you, transforming your life into death, until finally your entire body is covered by the deathly intent, achieving true death."

"But this is not irreversible. Just like if you have the serum for the zombie virus, you can also recover from the zombie state. Brother, you can also recover from your state, but the system does not directly provide a solution. In fact, this is beyond the function of the system. The purpose of identification is to analyze, not to solve."

This is also what Xiao Li regrets.

"However, it's not entirely meaningless. According to the system's explanation, there are only two options: control or removal. The optimal solution is for you, brother, to master the rules of life and death, so you can freely switch between life and death states, or you can request the existence that masters the rules of life and death to help you switch."

“But that seems unlikely. Brother, you have already condensed the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s Will, but based on the known situation in the lower realm, the Life and Death Emperor’s Will has not yet been condensed, and Hongxiu is only a candidate. It is probably unlikely that she can help you solve this problem.”

"The secondary method is removal. According to the system's description, there are two types. One is to reverse-devour the rule system of the same level that is closer to the life rule of life. Brother, your Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will 'Boundless' should be on this side, but you should have already tried it. The lack of effect means that the two levels are too different. The other is to suppress it with some special rules or spiritual treasures and medicines, and then slowly eliminate it over time."

"As you said, brother, the limitations of the withered tree in exercising its powers are quite large. First, it requires the target's blood as a medium; second, it has a certain casting range; and finally, it requires the target to have no means of tracing back to its source."

"Tracing the source means using something to pinpoint the origin of that thing. The closer that thing is to you, the more accurate the pinpointing will be. Blood is one such example."

"Therefore, I think it's more direct to use the wordless book. Although we know the principle, it seems we can't do anything about it."

Gu Yun was clearly confused about this. He could understand the previous points, but he was a little unclear about the final point about tracing the source.

"But I clearly remember that I had already activated the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will 'Formless,' so how could she locate me..."

After receiving Gu Yun's information, Xiao Li pondered the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will for a while. At first, he thought that "Formless" could evade all pursuit methods, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Could it be that we misunderstood?"

"The ability of 'Formlessness' is to conceal destiny, obscure aura, and conjure up all living beings. However, concealing destiny does not have the function of blocking the trace of origin, or rather, it has not yet grown to the point where it can block the trace of origin."

Gu Yun pondered for a moment, and faced with the reality before him, he could only nod helplessly and promise to pay more attention to this matter in the future.

However, the Titans cannot find themselves at present, and do not even know who they are, which should be due to the effect of "formlessness".

Perhaps the ability of "Formless" can only, at least for now, evade vague tracking without a fixed location and make some deductions about the origins of one's own destiny.

"Brother, I suggest you try using the Book of Reversal of Fate as soon as possible. The life force within you is gradually being shrouded in deathly intent, and while this deathly intent can be reversed, it probably won't be recognized by the Book of Reversal of Fate..."

"Row."

Gu Yun had been worried about this issue from the beginning. According to Xiao Li, although it was indeed a kind of poison, it still could not be identified by the Book of Reversal of Fate.

"Werner, what is the lifespan of a primordial demon?"

"Hmm... tens of thousands, I don't know the exact number. There are hundreds of thousands of demon generals, millions of demon lords, and tens of millions of demon kings. That's what they say. But I've seen some weak demons exist for tens of thousands of years. This number should just be the minimum, right?"

Gu Yun pondered for a moment and roughly estimated that two-thirds of his lifespan had already been eroded. Based on a lifespan of 10,000, he only had a little over 3,000 years left to use. Even Xiang Ling's simple request had squandered a thousand years of his lifespan, so he didn't know how much more he needed.

Just to be on the safe side, Gu Yun opened another small green bottle and took a small sip. The reason she didn't drink it all at once was that she couldn't absorb too much, and it would be a waste.

Seeing that his vitality had recovered to about 40-50%, Gu Yun took out the Book of Reversal of Fate and opened it, knowing that 40-50% was the upper limit.

The warm white jade-like surface of the book was reflected without reservation in Gu Yun's blood-red pupils.

According to Xiangling's instructions.

"Using fresh blood as a catalyst."

Gu Yun pierced his fingertip and touched the Book of Reversal of Fate, and the Book of Reversal of Fate immediately emitted a bright white light.

"Use your soul as a pen."

Following the guidance of the Book of Reversal of Fate, a golden, transparent crystal pen quietly appeared in Gu Yun's hand. Gu Yun knew that this pen symbolized his soul, but he didn't know if his soul, which was not yet at the Saint Realm, was enough.

But when the golden light appeared and the Book of Reversal of Fate trembled, Gu Yun believed that it was definitely sufficient in terms of the soul.

"Use vitality as ink."

"All your wishes will be fulfilled."

Gu Yun took a deep breath, pondering what to write. Different solutions would naturally result in different costs. If he didn't have this concern, Gu Yun could directly write "Mastering the Rules of Life and Death," and that would solve the problem himself.

Even if I lost ten lives, it probably wouldn't be enough.

Unable to control.

Remove...

However, removal also requires intervention of an equal form of power, namely the power of rules.

The power of rules involved could very well overwhelm even with my few thousand years of lifespan.

Suppress it to prevent it from spreading further...

That's right, just suppress it.

Once his imperial will improves, he will deal with it himself. During the process of using the Heavenly Demon Imperial Will 'Balance', Gu Yun had a feeling that he could control this death intent. However, because his current imperial will is too weak, he did not know that the application of imperial will, that is, the power of rules, is divided into several levels, but undoubtedly, he is currently at the weakest level.

She was utterly unable to resist Eve's will to die, even though she had been suppressed to the Innate Realm.

"Suppress...to...death..."

Gu Yun painstakingly wrote down his needs on the Book of Rebellion, stroke by stroke.

A terrifying life force was draining from his body.

It was continuously poured into the book of rebellion.

A shadow of death began to gradually loom over Gu Yun.

The moment he wrote the character "意" (meaning), Gu Yun felt a violent dizziness that he couldn't resist.

Everything went black, and he collapsed.

grass...

This is still not enough...
