Chapter 759: Let's Get Married
"I do not want power..."
"Nor do I want the heavens, the earth, and all things..."
"And even less do I want the awe of the gods..."
Qin Jian gently patted the armor left behind by Gu Yue, once, and then again.
"I only want you..." he said, somewhat choked with sobs.
The deepest despair was that he knew, even if he found them back, that person would no longer be Na'er or Gu Yue.
She would only be Gu Yuena.
Na'er's little shy joy, Gu Yue's little domineering nature, could never return...
"Brother Jian..." Ning Rongrong pulled his hand, her eyes red: "It will be alright... everything will be alright..."
"He... is too miserable..."
Poseixi could not help but step forward, hugging Qin Jian tightly, letting him lean his entire weight against her, gently stroking his back, and said softly: "There is always a way, there will always be a way, as long as we work hard to find it."
"A way..."
Qin Jian leaned against her, his eyes unfocused: "What other way is there... whether it is her or Na'er, they have all abandoned their own consciousness, abandoned their own existence..."
"Their Spirit has fused with me, all their power has been given to me, and the body of the Silver Dragon King has also become my armor..."
He roared in a low voice: "Where on earth am I supposed to go to find them!"
Poseixi could only hold him tighter, wanting to use her tenderness to give him a little comfort.
"Qin Jian," Qian Renxue suddenly spoke: "Didn't she ask you to find that Gu Yuena? Your final ring also fell upon Gu Yuena; does this not have something to do with Gu Yue and that so-called Na'er?"
"Gu Yuena..."
Qin Jian let go of Poseixi, looked at his own palms, and said uncertainly: "I have her body, her Spirit, and her power. Is it possible that as long as I bring the three together, it becomes Gu Yuena..."
"That is to say, Gu Yue and Na'er are both parts of Gu Yuena's consciousness. The Gu Yuena you have synthesized now has no consciousness," Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Renxue: "I think Xue'er and I are thinking the same thing. Since there is no consciousness, can you find their residual consciousness and help them merge together to become the real Gu Yuena?"
"Right, that is exactly what I am guessing."
Qian Renxue nodded, feeling that Bibi Dong's line of thought was consistent with her own.
"Find their consciousness, merge them together, and become the real Gu Yuena..."
Qin Jian's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again: "But they abandoned their own existence, and their consciousness faded, which is why I was able to completely fuse their power. In that case, how can I find their consciousness..."
"Consciousness can be abandoned by oneself, but it does not completely disappear, right?"
Qian Renxue speculated: "I have been observing your Fusion, and it seems to be a total fusion of body, Spirit, and consciousness. The deepest level of fusion clearly requires the fusion of consciousness, but you cannot do that."
Bibi Dong continued: "So Gu Yue and Na'er both chose to abandon their consciousness and entrust their power to you, but that does not require the consciousness to disappear; it only requires the consciousness to go dormant."
"Consciousness going dormant?"
Qin Jian frowned and muttered to himself: "If two consciousnesses are to be completely merged, besides mutual and absolute recognition, there is also one side disappearing. But how can consciousness disappear?"
"Consciousness is an abstract simulation of the mind; the disappearance of consciousness can only be a strong suggestion applied by oneself!"
His eyes suddenly became bright: "Consciousness will not disappear; consciousness is a subjective dormancy, or rather, it manifests as amnesia. They still exist within me, but they can no longer perceive their own existence. And what I must do..."
Qin Jian clenched his fists fiercely, his expression excited: "Is to help them find themselves!"
"But how am I to help them find themselves..."
He frowned again, walking around the floating armor in the middle of the room, lost in thought.
Ning Rongrong and the others looked at each other.
"We have already analyzed the theoretical aspects," Bibi Dong shook her head and sighed: "But as for how to actually do it, he can only find a way himself."
"Believe in him, he will definitely be able to do it," Qian Renxue said.
"Where did their consciousness go..."
Qin Jian muttered to himself: "It is not in this body, nor is it in the Spirit... it can only be in my consciousness..."
"They self-extinguished, which is why they could fuse with my consciousness..."
"Then, does that mean as long as my consciousness expels them, they will wake up?"
He pondered.
"Consciousness is Void and ethereal; how do I distinguish which parts belong to them and which parts belong to me?"
"Unless it can be materialized..."
"Materialize, how can I materialize it?"
"Isn't constructing a physical space from my consciousness a form of materialization?"
"Then..."
A divine light flashed in Qin Jian's eyes: "Innate ability, Love Mist Illusion!"
"Jianjian, have you thought of a way?" Shui Bing'er sensed something.
Qin Jian did not look at her, only at his own hands: "Materializing my consciousness and mind, I hope to find them..."
He did it as soon as he thought of it; he did not want to wait even a moment.
"Hum!"
A curtain of light from the illusion rose from around him, quickly pushing the others away.
"Pfft."
The next moment, the light curtain faded, and Qin Jian spat out blood amidst the gasps of the women.
"Qin Jian!"
Zhu Zhuqing, who was the fastest, hurried to support him.
"I'm fine."
Unlike the previous despair, although Qin Jian was spitting blood at this moment, he appeared full of vigor: "I have a way to find them, it is just not the right time yet."
"What do you mean by not the right time?" Bibi Dong asked.
Qin Jian looked at her and said, "I have said before that for my body martial soul to reach perfection, there is still one final step and one final person missing."
He smiled: "But the perfection of the final step must come before the final person; only then will my emotional instincts help me find them and complete the trial of the final person."
"What is the perfection of the final step?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Qin Jian paused, his gaze sweeping calmly over each of them.
Then, he said slowly: "Let us... get married."
"Ah?!"
Exclamations came from the mouths of several people: "Get married?! Now?!"
Qin Jian looked at them with a soft gaze: "Walking this path to where we are now has not been easy, but it is not yet perfect; true perfection is to forge a lifelong contract."
"I want to become husband and wife with you all and set a lifelong vow."
The nine of them looked at each other, and slowly, their expressions became strange.
"Then, the question returns..."
Qian Renxue walked up a few steps leisurely, her slender hand resting on Qin Jian's shoulder, her eyes curved, yet she made Qin Jian feel a hint of killing intent: "Tell me, who do you think would be better as your primary wife?"
Qin Jian was stunned.
"That's right, Brother Jian, who do you intend to make the primary wife?"
Ning Rongrong's smiling and charming appearance looked somewhat frightening no matter how one looked at it.
Bibi Dong stepped forward, her expression very serious and proper: "A bunch of little vixens; without someone to help you suppress them, it certainly won't do. I suggest your primary wife candidate should have stronger capabilities."
