The Word of Heaven

Chapter 265 If the sky is affectionate, the sky will also grow old

"Zhao" is "Gao", which means the emperor's order.

This is a very simple word that can often be seen on imperial edicts, and it often represents the will of an emperor.

Over the countless years, the fate of countless people has risen and fallen with the appearance of this word before their eyes. Some people have risen to prominence after becoming successful, while others have fallen into misery after becoming destitute.

Even the most direct decision of life and death.

Therefore.

No one in front of the Weiyang Palace expected to hear those four words.

Whether it is the chief priest, Wang Ji, Dao Xiu, or the White Emperor who is most familiar with the word "edict".

Everyone was looking at Gu Zhuo, the emotions in their eyes were changing in ways that could not be concealed and could not be described in words.

"So this is the truth..."

Yu Sheng said softly, opened her eyes in Gu Zhuo's arms, and looked at him: "Why did you suffer the punishment of heaven back then?"

Gu Zhuo hummed softly.

The rain had stopped long ago and the clouds had dispersed.

However, when that "hmm" sound came out, people felt as if they heard a rumbling thunder, their minds were shocked and then they woke up.

Those powerful men from the sects and families who survived finally understood why His Majesty the Emperor had never encountered a heavenly calamity today. It had nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao Seal that was as powerful as the Morning and Evening Bell, but was because he had not really taken that step.

Just one step away, makes a world of difference.

Then many people subconsciously began to speculate, and couldn't help wondering how far the Taoist master had gone on the path of cultivation, and whether he had already entered the realm of immortality after enlightenment. Otherwise, how could you be qualified to do such a thing?

Then people kept recalling what the master of the temple had said not long ago, his arguments about the Way of Heaven.

Before the morning and evening bells rang, before Gu Zhuo uttered those four words, the world only thought that it was a hypocritical excuse made by the temple master to clear himself of the betrayal he had committed that year, and no one really believed it.

It was not until this moment after the master's death that people realized that he might really be following the will of heaven as he saw it in his heart.

At this moment, Daoxiu's voice rang out, filled with confusion and puzzlement.

"I want to ask you a question."

The monk looked into Gu Zhuo's eyes and asked, "Did you ascend to heaven at that time?"

Gu Zhuo did not answer immediately.

He looked at Yu Sheng, and carefully held that hand that was still cold, with their fingers tightly clasped.

"Is this important?"

"Yes."

Daoxiu answered seriously.

Gu Zhuo looked at him, recalled the past, and said calmly: "As long as I am willing."

Daoxiu understood.

Everyone understood.

So another question arises.

Dao Xiu's voice was full of confusion.

"If what you said is true, and you can ascend to heaven and leave this world at any time if you want, then why don't you do it?"

"The reason why the Dao Sect persisted back then was fundamentally because of your existence."

"If you leave, the world will be sunny at this moment."

"If you leave, everything will usher in the best possible change, and you will definitely be able to deduce such a future."

"Isn't the purpose of cultivation to transcend and see more magnificent scenery?"

The monk looked into Gu Zhuo's eyes and asked seriously, "So why do you want to stay?"

Gu Zhuo did not answer.

Dao Xiu was silent for a moment, then said, "I still can't figure it out. In the past, you never really got close to this world, and you never showed any attachment to the mundane world, so it's impossible for you to have a sense of responsibility in your heart..."

His eyes fell on Yu Sheng, and he asked with a bewildered look, "If your decision was made because of love, then isn't it even more stupid for you to let yourself get to this point today than the boring sadomasochism in operas?"

Hearing these words, Gu Zhuo remained unmoved.

Even if all the emotions in the words are real.

Just like his silence at this moment.

……

... "You said before that time will not change because of human will."

Gu Zhuo said to the White Emperor: "And I agree."

The White Emperor said: "You also tell me why I insist on this."

Gu Zhuo said: "The answer is very simple."

The White Emperor said calmly: "But you are still very weak now, not even in the Return to One Realm. Judging from the result of your death by the Heavenly Punishment that year, you ultimately failed."

"Yes, I failed."

Gu Zhuo said: "But this is actually not such an important thing."

The White Emperor looked him in the eye and asked earnestly, "Then what can be considered truly important?"

Gu Zhuo said: "I succeeded too."

The White Emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "So?"

Gu Zhuo said: "As long as I want, I can be God's will."

His voice was calm, without any pride or arrogance. Instead, it sounded like he was walking on thin ice, as if he was on the edge of an abyss.

It was as if what he put into words was not "I am God's will", but "I can be".

When the word "heaven's will" fell, the last trace of emotion in Gu Zhuo's eyes faded away.

The next moment, his eyes became extremely bright.

It is neither golden light nor starlight.

It is the most brilliant light in the sky.

The sound of the bell that lingers between heaven and earth is about to come to an end.

Instead, it was replaced by Gu Zhuo's voice.

"Even if you really want to die, but I don't let you die, you can't die. Not even time can take your life away."

"That's what I want."

"That's God's will."

The sound of the bell faded away, and the world was silent.

The next moment, countless rays of light fell from the sky and sank into Gu Zhuo's body, then used the tightly clasped ten fingers as a bridge to pass into Yu Sheng's body and soul.

The aura contained in it cannot be accurately described in words. I really don't know whether it is vitality, the exuberant spring, or the pure power of heaven and earth.

The most powerful people in the world who were standing in front of the Weiyang Palace clearly felt that Yu Sheng's vitality, which was rapidly fading away with the sound of the morning and evening bells, was inexplicably stabilizing in an unimaginable way. Even though it was still collapsing, it was no longer irreversible.

The green tree in the Weiyang Palace was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In an instant, it broke through the eaves of the hall and appeared arrogantly under the real sky.

At the same time, many people living in the Divine Capital had sensed the real breath, succumbed to the deepest fear in their hearts and knelt down, kowtowing continuously towards the Weiyang Palace hanging in the sky.

The Queen looked at this scene, thinking about the emotionless words she had heard before, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, with indescribable mockery and sarcasm.

Because she thought of a poem that the person wrote himself.

——If the sky has feelings, it will also grow old.

……

I don’t know how long it took, but the light gradually faded.

There was silence in front of the Weiyang Palace.

Yu Sheng closed his eyes.

After a moment, she opened her eyes again and looked at Gu Zhuo who was standing beside her, with a myriad of emotions in her eyes.

Gu Zhuo's eyes are extremely clear.

But it's like the sky.

No images were reflected, and there was no emotion in Yu Sheng's eyes.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was color in his eyes again, but it was very faint.

Gu Zhuo looked at Yu Sheng, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't die."
