At this moment, Little Monk Bu Jie was flustered; he only wanted to give Gu Changsheng a sudden wake-up call and never intended to take her life. He was such a compassionate person, who had never killed!

However, while he didn’t want to kill, Gu Changsheng was different. It was obvious that Gu Changsheng intended to use his shock from the Little Wooden Fish as a means to end it all!

"Benefactor Changsheng, please wait! Benefactor Changsheng, please wait!"

To be honest, in just a moment, Little Monk Bu Jie got scared!

He was indeed teasing the Manman Bug earlier; he seemed harmless, yet it wasn’t that he couldn’t lift off into the air!

Therefore, at the moment Gu Changsheng spun into the air, Little Monk Bu Jie moved too. His speed didn’t lag behind Gu Changsheng’s, and with shoes stained with blood, he made a flying step. The little monk, carrying a huge wooden fish disproportionate to his small body, rose into the air!

On the ground, the Manman Bug, seeing this, widened its bug eyes and gritted its teeth, saying, "Damn you! Monk, you actually tricked me!"

Indeed, the truth was harsh. Little Monk Bu Jie clearly didn’t need its help!

It was such a shame that it threw away its divine face and exerted so much effort, sweating profusely to lift him, only to realize that it was all in vain!

Truly, it’s such a bully to the gods!

At that moment, the Manman Bug thought of soaring into the air to fight desperately with Little Monk Bu Jie. However, when it saw Gu Changsheng holding Zhou Mu closely behind Little Monk Bu Jie, the unease and agitation belonging to the insect in its heart disappeared instantly!

Forget it, I am a bug that knows when to retreat. I won’t seek trouble and become cannon fodder!

"Benefactor Changsheng! Benefactor Changsheng, calm down! It’s far from the time to seek death! Stop thrusting into my wooden fish, my wooden fish can’t bear bloodshed!"

In midair, it could be said that Little Monk Bu Jie was being chased miserably by Gu Changsheng!

Carrying his large wooden fish, Little Monk Bu Jie sprinted wildly, and while running, he couldn’t help but turn back to persuade her.

However, how could Gu Changsheng, who had only a sliver of rationality left, listen to his words?

In Gu Changsheng’s heart, the wooden fish before her was her sole redemption—the only salvation that could release her from madness. If she gave up, in the next moment, she would truly fall!

Though she had lost hope, she didn’t want to see the people around her lose their lives one by one in her hands!

Below, the arena had turned into a river of blood because of her!

Enough!

Enough!

It’s time to put an end to all this!

Let all of this disappear with her disappearance!

No past or future, no memories of the past, and even less of pain and grudges—just end it all here!

This was the last thing Gu Changsheng could do for the people around her!

She didn’t want to hurt them, but she knew there was no turning back from the moment she stepped out from the constraints of Heavenly Punishment Thunder!

If it wasn’t for her son, if it wasn’t for his gentle calls of "mom," which pulled her back firmly to her senses, everything would have been irreparable!

But even so, Borjigin Nian and the others were already bruised and battered, almost losing their lives at her hands!

Enough!

Enough blood has flowed; it has dyed the arena in crimson!

All the regret of two lifetimes, and the endless dissatisfaction—let’s end everything here!

The fatherly and motherly love she sought and the company of family she could never reach—if they were destined to be unfulfilled...

Then completely give up!

"Benefactor Changsheng! Benefactor Changsheng, don’t do this! Let’s talk it out!"

At this moment, Little Monk Bu Jie was completely flustered by Gu Changsheng’s relentless pursuit!

If Little Monk Bu Jie had known that Gu Changsheng had forcefully pulled back a thread of rationality, he wouldn’t have dared to thump Gu Changsheng with a wooden fish even if it killed him!

He could have been gentler!

But now, everything said is superfluous, as Gu Changsheng fixated intensely on his wooden fish, what could he do?

His compassionate Bodhisattva heart!

Definitely unable to satisfy Gu Changsheng’s wish!

Crash onto his wooden fish? Absolutely not!

"Ha! Monk! You have your day too! For tricking me!"

On the ground, seeing Little Monk Bu Jie being chased so pitifully, the Manman Bug spoke with schadenfreude!

But as soon as it spoke, it drew several unkind stares!

"Manman, aren’t you going to stop them!"

Borjigin Nian urgently spoke with blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Stop? Stop what?" The Manman Bug was taken aback, with a trace of bewilderment on its small bug face.

"Gu Changsheng is heading towards self-destruction, aren’t you going to stop her?" Borjigin Nian was anxious at this, his chest heaving as his wounds were pulled, causing more blood to seep out.

"Stop her? Come on, don’t joke!" However, upon hearing this, the Manman Bug immediately rolled its eyes and shook its head, pointing at the two figures racing in midair, pursing its lips, "With Gu Changsheng, such an annoying human, hell-bent on death, you want me to stop her? This isn’t stopping her; clearly, you’re setting me up! I won’t be foolish; going up there would surely get me smashed to pieces by her. I want to live a bit longer; I absolutely won’t do something like throwing myself to death!"

"You!" Borjigin Nian was utterly speechless upon hearing that, pointing at Manman Bug’s hand, covered in blood. Yet, she could only look on helplessly, unable to assist in the slightest!

It wasn’t just Borjigin Nian; those from the Hidden World Clan present didn’t go forth to help Gu Changsheng to his death, which was already fortunate, so expecting them to assist was absolutely impossible. And those wholeheartedly devoted to Gu Changsheng...

They were already covered in bruises and scars, with hardly any left unscathed!

"Mother! Mother! Mother, come down! Come down... waa..."

On the ground, Little Bun raised his small neck, persistently watching the figures speeding in mid-air, crying and shouting incessantly...

But it seemed futile; the two figures in the sky did not hear his words at all...

"Benefactor Changsheng! Benefactor Changsheng, do not do this! The wooden fish of this humble monk is the most compassionate object in the world! It cannot witness bloodshed!"

"Benefactor Changsheng, stop chasing! The wooden fish of this poor monk will never be used for your quest for death!"

"Benefactor Changsheng, stop, the sea of bitterness is boundless, and turning back is the shore!"

"..."

In mid-air, Little Monk Bu Jie looked at Gu Changsheng chasing after his wooden fish, unable to hide his helplessness!

The small face, once serene and composed, now showed none of the old tranquility, instead full of panic!

The eyes, deep as if all the happenings of the world were within his predictions, now showed none of that profoundness, instead filled with refusal!

On the stage, this pursuit battle was nothing short of intense and fervent!

One sought death wholeheartedly, while the other protected the wooden fish earnestly!

Neither yielded!

Like a kite set loose, flying lively in the air above the stage!

However, below, there was no one controlling the strings!

If there were, they would surely have been pulled down long ago!

"Gu Changsheng! Gu Changsheng, stop! *coughs*" Borjigin Nian gazed at Gu Changsheng’s resolute figure, feeling heartache with each pulse.

Didn’t she want to avoid bringing disaster to them?

Therefore, she would rather choose to end herself than lay hands on them?

But, without Gu Changsheng, what should they do?

Without Gu Changsheng, what would everything turn into?

This consequence, they dared not imagine...

To them, Gu Changsheng seemed to possess magical power, gathering these originally unrelated individuals together, making them follow her, captivated by her every move...

They never thought that one day that exceedingly arrogant woman would cease to exist...

She was so proud, proud to the point that she seemed to disregard everything and everyone in the world!

Yet, just one Gu Taitian utterly shattered her pride!

The agony of losing beloved kin, as Gu Changsheng’s relatives and friends, they felt the same pain, and they could even accept her choice to let her soul fall eternally, even if it meant dying by her hand, they had no complaints!

But to watch helplessly as Gu Changsheng met death...

They couldn’t do it!

They truly couldn’t do it!

Who could stop all this?

Could anyone stop all this?

Is it really destined to be a catastrophe today?

If Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu were to perish, this world is bound to fall apart!

"Gu Changsheng, please don’t... don’t do this..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Even if it meant their death, it was better than Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu dying!

As long as they were alive, even if they fell into the Path of the Demon, so what?

After all, they were alive, weren’t they?

Once dead, it truly meant everything was over, with no future!

"Mother... Mother..."

On the ground, Little Bun called out plaintively and tearfully...

In mid-air, Little Monk Bu Jie carried his wooden fish, struggling to escape...

"Benefactor Changsheng! Stop chasing! If you continue, this humble monk shall truly get angry!"

"Benefactor Changsheng, even Vajra has moments of wrath, do not push this humble monk! Do not push this humble monk, if you push too far... this humble monk will truly get angry!"

"Benefactor Changsheng, bullying this humble monk is wrong! This humble monk truly must show wrathful eyes! Must truly show wrathful eyes!"

Turning back, Little Monk Bu Jie saw Gu Changsheng holding Zhou Mu relentless in pursuit, dragging his wooden fish, his dignified little face truly showing wrath, "This bully monk too much! Fixated on this monk’s wooden fish, aren’t you? Hey! Then taste a silent wooden fish from this monk!"
