My carefree life in space

Chapter 265 Both Pass the Test

The moment they stepped into the magic circle, a flash of light appeared, and Lin Shushu and Mo Ze disappeared from each other's sight. Clearly, this test required them to deal with it individually.

Before Lin Shushu could think any further, the scene before her suddenly changed. The once quiet ice chamber disappeared, replaced by a horrific scene of carnage on the Qingyun Continent.

The demons surged into the town like a tidal wave, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of atrocities. The people fled in all directions, their cries and screams mingling and filling the air. Blood stained the earth, and houses collapsed in the flames.

Lin Shushu felt a pang of pain in her heart. Although she rationally understood that this might just be an illusion, her sense of justice surged like a raging tide, making it impossible for her to stand idly by.

Without hesitation, she drew upon her spiritual power and leaped into the battle against the demons. Her spiritual light shone in the darkness, like a brilliant star, attempting to dispel the terrifying gloom.

Each beam of spiritual energy fired repelled a group of demons, but the demons seemed endless. As the battle escalated, the situation became increasingly critical.

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and a massive black pillar of light shot into the heavens, as the ancient demon god broke free from its seal. The demon god was enormous, emanating a chilling demonic aura that destroyed everything in its path.

Lin Shushu stared wide-eyed in horror, for the demon god's face was exactly the same as Mo Ze's. A storm raged within her, a complex mix of emotions swirling within her.

"No, this isn't true..." Lin Shushu's voice trembled, tears welling up in her eyes.

At this moment, the demon god with the face of Mo Ze let out a wild laugh. With a wave of his sleeve, he instantly razed a town to the ground.

"Stop!" Lin Shushu shouted. The scene was too real for Lin Shushu to tell whether it was reality or an illusion.

The demon god was drawn by her voice and looked at her. "Shushu, you've come! That's wonderful! Come to my side quickly, and together we will trample this continent under our feet. From now on, this world will be ruled by you and me. Anyone who dares to resist will face only one fate: death!"

"No, don't call me by my name, you're not him!" Lin Shushu backed away repeatedly, her eyes filled with obvious resistance.

Upon hearing her words, a hurt flashed in the Demon God's eyes, an expression exactly like Mo Ze's. "Shushu, what's wrong? Don't you recognize me? We've been through so much together. I've been with you from the Jin Yuan Empire to where you are now, and you're leaving me?"

The grievance in his tone was so familiar; Mo Ze had shown it to her many times. Was this also fake? Lin Shushu looked at the familiar person and took two steps forward.

Upon seeing this, the demon god smiled with satisfaction. "That's it! Come here quickly, let's stand together at the top of the continent and become the masters of this world!"

As if bewitched, Lin Shushu took a few more steps forward, her eyes momentarily glazed over, as if she were truly drawn in by the enchanting words.

Seeing this, the demon's smile grew even wider, and he opened his arms, seemingly certain that Lin Shushu would fall into his embrace.

However, just when the Demon God thought victory was assured, a resolute glint suddenly flashed in Lin Shushu's eyes. Her trust in Mo Ze and her responsibility to the people of the mainland burned like a raging fire, dispelling her brief moment of confusion.

In an instant, Lin Shushu rapidly gathered immense spiritual power in her hand, its radiance illuminating the surrounding darkness. The spiritual power, like a sharp blade, pierced towards the demon god with unstoppable force.

"You are not Mo Ze! I will not be fooled by you!" Lin Shushu roared loudly, her voice filled with determination and anger.

The demon god was taken aback that Lin Shushu could regain her senses and launch an attack at the last moment. The smile on his face froze instantly, replaced by a ferocious and furious expression. He swung his arms violently, unleashing a powerful surge of demonic energy to meet Lin Shushu's spiritual attack.

With a deafening boom, spiritual energy and demonic energy collided, unleashing a dazzling light and a powerful impact. The surrounding space was distorted by this force, sand and gravel flew everywhere, and huge cracks appeared in the ground.

Lin Shushu was jolted back a few steps by the impact, but she quickly regained her balance and released her spiritual power without reservation, shooting it straight at the demon god with Mo Ze's face.

She didn't hesitate at all when she struck. She knew that this was the real test—how would she choose between saving the continent and killing her lover?

Suddenly, everything went dark, and Lin Shushu found herself back in the ice room.

The old man in the ice sculpture didn't expect her to pass the test so quickly. Although she only went for the kill after knowing it wasn't Mo Ze, this also shows that she can distinguish right from wrong in the face of deep emotions and is not swayed by them.

Lin Shushu couldn't see Mo Ze and couldn't help but worry. What kind of test would Mo Ze give her? Would he be able to pass it smoothly?

Mo Ze, whom Lin Shushu was worried about, was indeed greatly affected at this moment.

After entering the magic array, he returned to the Jin Yuan Empire. Seeing the familiar place filled him with joy. However, Lin Shushu wasn't with him; he assumed she had returned to her own planet.

When he arrived at M19 star with great excitement, he found another man standing next to Lin Shushu. He recognized the man; he was Xiao Jingping, the eldest disciple of the Qingyun Sect on the Qingyun Continent. Their behavior was intimate, and anyone could tell what their relationship was.

"Shushu!" Mo Ze could hardly believe his eyes, and he cried out those two words with a broken heart.

The two people opposite looked over with disdain. Xiao Jingping, with his arm around Lin Shushu, asked in confusion, "Shushu, who are these people? Why are they calling you that?"

Lin Shushu glanced at him casually and replied indifferently, "He's just an insignificant person, no need to pay him any mind."

Hearing those heartless words, Mo Ze felt as if his heart was being torn apart. "Shu Shu, am I insignificant? Have you forgotten our past?"

"You said it yourself, it's all in the past. Since it's all in the past, what's there to say?" The merciless words continued to pierce Mo Ze's heart.

"Shushu, I don't believe you would treat me like this. Think back to the past. You were not only completely open with me, but you were also just as good to my family and friends. Have you forgotten all of that?" Mo Ze recounted the past, trying to win back Lin Shushu's heart.

"That was just teasing you. My kindness to you and your family was nothing but charity. What's precious to you is nothing more than trash to me." After saying this, Lin Shushu seemed to think it wasn't enough, and she pointed to the two people in the corner.

"As for your parents, they've been on my planet for so long, it's time for them to leave. Take them with you now!"

Mo Ze followed her gaze and saw his parents huddled in a corner, their clothes tattered, their eyes filled with terror. Upon seeing him, tears streamed down their faces.

“Aze, she has changed her mind. Don’t be so stubborn. Let’s go back to the Imperial Star and start a new life. You will definitely meet a better girl.”

"Pfft," Mo Ze spat out a mouthful of blood, his heart breaking at what he saw. The intimate actions of the two men were like knives stabbing him again and again.

He collapsed to the ground, flashes of the past before his eyes: Shushu holding him in her rabbit form, gently stroking him. The days and nights they spent together were so intimate that no one else could possibly enter their lives.

No, this is all fake! How could Shushu abandon herself?

Trusting Lin Shushu, Mo Ze suddenly realized that Shushu treated him as he had treated her, so how could there be a third person between them?

The moment Mo Ze opened his eyes, he met Lin Shushu's worried eyes, and he knew that he had passed the test.
