Chapter 1706 Black King
Kusuen’s power of replication was incredibly strong, and it only took a few moments to complete Gongyang Zhuo’s body!
Gongyang Wan tightly embraced the young man in her arms, her eyes filled with tension. She gently patted his back and called out softly:
“Zhuo? Zhuo?”
After a moment, Gongyang Zhuo’s eyelashes trembled slightly, then his eyes slowly opened. Looking at Gongyang Wan’s face before him, he froze in place.
“Zhuo? Do you recognize me?” Gongyang Wan’s hands began to tremble uncontrollably, her voice somewhat hoarse.
“Sister…”
Hearing these two words, tears uncontrollably welled up in Gongyang Wan’s eyes. She suddenly hugged the young man tightly, fell to her knees, and facing that broken spear, began to sob loudly!
Everyone had never seen Gongyang Wan’s emotions so intense. For a moment, they looked at each other, feeling both joy and emotion.
After a long while, Gongyang Wan’s emotions gradually calmed. She put Gongyang Zhuo down, and everyone could finally see the young man’s face clearly.
Gongyang Zhuo’s face was somewhat similar to Gongyang Wan’s. Though he was a young man, his features were delicate and refined, but not effeminate. Instead, like his sister, there was a resolute and determined look between his brows.
Gongyang Zhuo, also with reddened eyes, fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed heavily to the broken spear:
“This junior, Gongyang Zhuo, kneels in gratitude to the Marquis for giving me new life!”
Seeing Gongyang Zhuo’s actions, Gongyang Wan didn’t stop him. She knew her brother had always admired Huo Qubing, and her own life had been saved by him, so these kowtows were well-deserved.
After completing a full eight kowtows, Gongyang Zhuo stood up again and knelt before Lin Qiye, Hu Jia, and the others in the courtyard, kowtowing again.
“I kneel in gratitude to all of you for giving me new life. Gongyang Zhuo will never forget this!”
Seeing this, Lin Qiye quickly tried to help the young man up from the ground, but Gongyang Zhuo stubbornly refused to rise. He insisted on completing eight more kowtows before being pulled up by Lin Qiye. His kowtows were so sincere that his forehead was covered in blood.
Lin Qiye, both amused and exasperated, helped wipe away the blood while saying:
“There’s no need for such formality, we didn’t help that much…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qiye suddenly froze.
He stared at the wound on the young man’s forehead, where faint wisps of black energy were dispersing. If one didn’t look closely at close range, it would be extremely difficult to notice…
Black energy?
Could there be hidden problems with this body?
Lin Qiye’s brows immediately furrowed. He moved closer to the wound on Gongyang Zhuo’s forehead, and a certain smell entered his nostrils.
This smell wasn’t the foul odor of the K-system, but rather… killing intent?
Killing intent?!!!
Lin Qiye seemed to realize something, a thought flashing through his mind like lightning. He stared blankly at the young Gongyang Zhuo before him, standing frozen like a statue.
There was no mistake… this killing intent was almost identical to the murderous aura that surrounded Cao Yuan when he transformed into a berserker in the future!
Could it be that Gongyang Zhuo was actually…
The [Black King]?!!!
Lin Qiye clearly remembered hearing the truth about the Black King from the Gold Star of Venus in the Heavenly Court. The Black King sealed within Cao Yuan was actually a mortal from thousands of years ago who had failed to reach the supreme realm…
At that time, Lin Qiye had wondered how a mortal could possibly skip the step of becoming a god and directly challenge the supreme realm.
And after failing to reach the supreme realm, this mortal’s mind began to deteriorate, becoming a monster that only knew killing… hence being called the [Black King].
But looking at the young Gongyang Zhuo before him, Lin Qiye instantly understood everything.
If Gongyang Zhuo was the [Black King], then it all made sense… From the beginning, he wasn’t truly human. His body was made from Kusuen’s heart, a product from beyond the domain, existing between the K-system and humans. That’s why in the future, he could bypass the threshold of godhood and directly face the supreme realm without laws!
And the mental breakdown after failing to reach the supreme realm was also expected. The K-system inherently possessed mental contamination powers. If Gongyang Zhuo truly reached the point of challenging the supreme realm through his own efforts, he would inevitably break the balance between human and K-system within this body, causing his consciousness to sink…
Just as he feared, Gongyang Zhuo, revived in this way, was no longer purely human, but an anomaly beyond everyone’s understanding!
“Lord Lin, what’s wrong?” Gongyang Zhuo tilted his head and asked curiously, “Is there something on my face?”
Lin Qiye came back to his senses and looked at Gongyang Zhuo with complex emotions:
“It’s nothing… In the future, no matter what happens, you must protect your sister, understand?”
“Of course!” Gongyang Zhuo replied without hesitation. “I will not only protect my sister, but also protect the world! I want to become a great person like the Marquis!”
Lin Qiye patted his head and slowly stood up. Gongyang Wan had already walked up to Gongyang Zhuo and said softly:
“After your sister finishes her business, I’ll take you to eat something delicious, okay?”
“Okay!”
Gongyang Wan nodded to Lin Qiye, gripping the broken spear in her hand. A faint humming sound emanated from it.
“What should I do?”
“Beneath Chang’an lies the most prosperous part of the Han Dynasty’s dragon vein. If you bury this weapon, which has been forged with blood and bone, into the ground, the Marquis will be immersed in the flow of destiny, nurturing his divine soul,” Yan Zhong slowly explained.
“Leave it to me.”
Gongyang Wan’s expression changed as she placed one palm on the ground in the courtyard. The earth suddenly melted into mud, continuously extending toward the core, and a pitch-black deep well appeared in everyone’s view.
She pointed the spear tip at the muddy surface, and the blood-stained spear shaft automatically sank into the ground, eventually disappearing from sight.
After completing all this, Gongyang Wan stood up and covered the deep well with a thick wooden board, making it convenient to check on the Marquis’s divine soul years later.
“Well, I’ll excuse myself for a while.”
Gongyang Wan smiled and took Gongyang Zhuo’s hand, walking directly toward the streets of Chang’an outside. Everyone naturally didn’t disturb this reunion of siblings separated by death, watching as their figures disappeared without a trace.
Lin Qiye looked at this scene and murmured:
“The Marquis has transformed into a guardian spirit to protect the destiny, and I’ve hidden him. Now the causal paradox of the Black King has also formed… This way, the history belonging to Cao Yuan will be completely concealed.”
“What did you say?” Yan Zhong asked puzzledly beside him.
“Nothing.”
Lin Qiye looked up at the sky. Under the azure dome, the brightest red star had already disappeared. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said:
“The death star has been extinguished, and the gods of the Heavenly Court should return… It’s time to find him.”
“Find him? Who?”
“The Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasures.”
