Chapter 753: The Last Step, The Last Person

"For the sake of the world's great righteousness, I wish to embody the Asura God!"

The Asura God had been fighting for a long time without success, and seeing Qin Jian and Gu Yue becoming increasingly tacit in their coordination, his anger and killing intent both flared up.

There was no helping it; having been a Single Dog for so many years, he found scenes of such tacit coordination the most unbearable to look at.

You two even switch positions from time to time, helping each other fend off attacks, coordinating with such seamless intimacy.

Everyone is fighting for their lives, and you two are here showing off your affection!

Bullying a Single Dog God, are you?!

"Asura Heartless Sword! Annihilation of All Things!"

In the sky, a blood-colored Sword Light that reached from heaven to earth seemed to want to sever the entire planet.

"Gu Yue!"

The divine swords surrounding Qin Jian suddenly flew into the sky, transforming into ten thousand Sword Radiance, blocking the combined strike of the gods outside the Plane for an instant.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, Gu Yue heard his call, and without a second thought, she immediately flew toward him.

She also flung the Silver Dragon Spear into the sky, heading straight for the protective divine swords.

"With our current power, let us perform a Fusion of consciousness separation!"

Qin Jian's voice rang out urgently in her mind: "The opportunity is only for an instant; I hope we have this tacit understanding."

"We definitely will..."

Gu Yue's figure appeared before him, and she threw herself into his arms.

The women below: "......"

"Na'er... if you are not just a memory, if there is still a residual consciousness..."

Gu Yue closed her eyes.

"Then come out and perform a perfect Fusion with him."

Memories belonging to Na'er flooded her.

That was ten thousand years of companionship and mutual understanding, ten thousand years of protection and trust.

Gu Yue suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze gradually changing.

From a condescending indulgence, it slowly turned into... affection for her beloved.

"Qin Jian..."

A soft voice came, and Qin Jian, who was preparing for the Fusion, suddenly widened his eyes.

Those Purple eyes...

They held a hint of shy joy, and also an undisguised love.

"Na'er..."

Qin Jian suddenly burst into tears.

He hugged her tightly and pressed his lips firmly onto hers.

Bibi Dong, Ning Rongrong, and the others: "......"

"Mm..."

Gu Yue struggled for a brief moment, but the next instant, she was disrupted by that strange, lingering heartbeat.

At the same time, Na'er's emotions invaded the depths of her heart.

"So this is what it feels like to kiss the person you like?"

"How strange..."

"But..."

She quietly closed her eyes.

"I like it so much."

Time was frozen at this moment, yet it returned to normal the very next.

The moment Qin Jian and she kissed, the Fusion of their bodies was also taking place.

With the assistance of Na'er's consciousness and memories, the God King-level Fusion, which should have been incomparably difficult, was completed in an instant.

"Hum!"

With a long chime, a strange light burst forth, revealing the miraculous scene at the center.

The figures of Qin Jian and Gu Yue disappeared, replaced by a figure clad in full armor.

Even the cheeks were covered by a mask, making it impossible to distinguish gender.

"Thud!"

A spear and sword shadow descended from the sky, and he (she) caught it firmly in his (her) hand.

The Asura God's expression suddenly changed drastically: "What power is this?!"

It turned out that the moment that figure grasped the long spear, time seemed to have stopped.

Whether it was his Asura God Slash or the attacks of the gods above the Plane, everything solidified at this moment.

"Hum!"

That spear shadow was so vivid that it seemed as if only this streak of light was moving in the world.

It appeared slow but was actually fast; right before the Asura God's eyes, it appeared in front of him.

"Bang."

The sound of the collision was almost unheard, and the Asura God did not feel any impact.

Could it be that such a spear, which froze time, had no power at all?

It was like the hang time during a jump shot; it was not for show, but for a more precise strike.

The Asura God's confusion did not even last an instant; the next moment, it was like the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting, like mountains roaring and seas howling.

A force sufficient to shatter the Dalu exploded in his chest, a precision strike that not only completely pulverized his attack but also impaled him and sent him flying.

Just like a rocket that had ignited its fuel, golden Flame burned fiercely before him, carrying him straight into the sky and accurately sending him out of the Plane barrier!

"Crack!"

Time resumed in the next moment, and everything began to function normally again.

The only changes were that the Asura God had vanished, the armored figure had vanished, and the sky-filling attacks had vanished.

"Hoo..."

Only the figures of Qin Jian and Gu Yue remained half-kneeling in the air, panting rapidly.

"You... haven't truly become a god yet..."

Gu Yue's eyes brimmed with worry: "Such a Fusion... is too great a drain on you..."

"This price is worth it..."

Qin Jian swallowed back the blood surging in his mouth; his face only turned pale for a moment before he showed no further abnormalities.

"The Asura God has also left the Plane; from now on, whether it is you or me, we can easily block any attacks they launch from outside the Plane."

He exhaled and said, "The crisis can be considered temporarily resolved."

Gu Yue slowly helped him stand up and looked up, as if she could see the unwilling gazes of the gods outside the Plane.

"Before they have another God King descend to the lower realm, I will do my utmost to help you break through to God Level and complete your God Trial," she said firmly.

Qin Jian gave a soft laugh: "That is certain; without your help, it would be impossible for me to complete the God Trial."

"Hm?"

Gu Yue gave him a strange look: "Why would you be unable to complete the God Trial without my help? By the way, what is going on with that divine sword of yours? I was fighting the Asura God with all my might before and had no spare energy to pay attention to you."

Qin Jian explained: "My first martial soul was originally a companion divine sword, just like your Silver Dragon Spear, but the God King tampered with the rules and forcibly imposed a God Trial on it."

"The Nine Trials of the Emotion God I had always believed in were not real God Trials at all, but the Assessment of the Heartless God."

"The Assessment of the Heartless God?"

Gu Yue furrowed her brows: "No wonder it always required you to go through heart-wrenching breakups; so it was fake."

"Yes," Qin Jian nodded: "The true God Trial had always been obscured, but precisely because I went through the three stages of possessing, letting go, and picking it up again, I passed the true God Trial very easily."

Gu Yue swept her gaze over his body, then looked down at Ning Rongrong and the other eight people below, especially the golden-flame Soul Rings on their bodies.

"So, you abandoned the Heartless God Assessment, detonated those nine Soul Rings, and instead gained the true meaning of protection, causing the divine sword to upgrade?" she realized.

Qin Jian nodded: "Correct, the Guardian Divine Sword had always been veiled; it wasn't until I abandoned the God Trial that I directly received the accumulation of all the God Trial's power."

"Next, what you need to do is to make your original body martial soul become a god, right?"

Gu Yue asked: "You should have received the real information now, right? What must you do?"

Qin Jian smiled: "The true God Trial requires me to be able to bear the love of each and every one of them, shoulder every responsibility, treat every person with true sincerity, and provide promises and protection."

"You haven't achieved that yet?" Gu Yue asked curiously.

Qin Jian nodded: "There is still one final step left, and one final person missing."
