Chapter 779: Final Chapter: My Name is Gu Yuena

"Sss, sss, sss."

The shadows of the dark night swirled, and a faint, flickering pitch-black figure slowly appeared in his line of sight.

She was like the empress of the night, held aloft by layers of shadows, lingering and entwined.

"Gu Yue!" Qin Jian couldn't help but call out.

"For my sake?"

To his surprise, Gu Yue was full of mockery: "If you want to complete the God Trial, you must find the Fusion of me and Na'er; Gu Yuena is your true goal."

Qin Jian was stunned: "Why would you think that?"

"How else should I think?"

Gu Yue suddenly became full of rage: "I want you to stay! Yet you refuse me time and time again! How else could I think?!"

"But you never told me you were Gu Yue, and you kept acting like you wanted to drag me into the abyss, so how could I not resist?" Qin Jian said, his head aching.

"I didn't tell you, but did I really need to? This is the manifestation of your consciousness; if you truly perceived it, what could be hidden from you?"

The anger on Gu Yue's face receded, and she gave a cold laugh: "Besides, what's wrong with sinking into the darkness? Without so many worries, living as one pleases, doing whatever one wants, killing whoever one wants—how happy that is! Hahaha..."

Seeing her so crazed and deranged, Qin Jian blurted out: "No, you are not Gu Yue!"

"I am not Gu Yue? Is that so?"

The dark shadow gradually sank into the darkness.

"Ugh..."

A pulling force, several times stronger, appeared on his body, and he was dragged down in an instant.

"Qin Jian!"

The voices of ten people called out in succession; Ning Rongrong and the other eight took to the air, approaching Qin Jian regardless of the cost.

But that darkness seemed to isolate them, and no matter what, they could not get close, only Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue drew nearer.

"Merging with the darkness, she is illuminating the darkness in the depths of our hearts!"

Bibi Dong suddenly said: "Xue'er! You have the most darkness in your heart, so you can get closer; bring our power with you!"

"Having the most darkness in one's heart is actually an advantage?"

Qian Renxue's cheek twitched; at this moment, the power from Ning Rongrong and the others had already merged in like a ribbon of light.

She had no time to think, charging straight down; for every bit she entered the darkness, her emotions became a few degrees more negative.

"Xue'er!"

Just as Qian Renxue's state of mind fluctuated wildly, wishing to destroy the heavens and the earth, Bibi Dong's voice came: "Do not be driven by the darkness! The darkness is your power, it cannot be allowed to master you in return!"

"Remember the purpose for which we came here!"

"To protect Qin Jian!"

Having lost all their power, the eight figures of Bibi Dong and Ning Rongrong began to turn ethereal, and Gu Yuena watched this scene at a loss.

"That's right! I came here to protect him!"

Holy light suddenly bloomed from Qian Renxue, intertwining with the darkness and sending her before Qin Jian.

"Quick! Grab my hand!"

She reached out her right hand toward Qin Jian.

But Qin Jian was stunned: "Darkness erosion... came to protect... cannot be driven by the darkness?"

"Hurry!"

Qian Renxue was anxious.

Qin Jian, however, smiled: "I understand."

He grabbed Qian Renxue's hand, and in an instant, the power of the nine people's protection enveloped his entire body, like a circle of light, fixing him between light and dark.

Seeing that he was no longer being dragged into the darkness, Qian Renxue couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, gradually dissipating into a phantom.

"Thank you all for bringing me the power of protection..."

He opened his eyes, his body suspended between light and dark, and suddenly shouted: "You are not Gu Yue!"

The darkness did not react in the slightest.

"You are Gu Yuena, the incarnation of darkness!" Qin Jian said again.

The swirling and Devouring shadows suddenly paused.

"You were originally one entity; there is no such thing as Na'er and Gu Yue," Qin Jian said loudly: "The reason there appear to be two people is because you split yourself apart, giving all the kindness, light, life, and every beautiful aspect to her."

He pointed to Gu Yuena on the side of light.

"And all the evil, darkness, and Huihuo—all these negative things—were given entirely to you in the darkness."

He pointed again to Gu Yuena in the darkness.

"Why do this?"

Qin Jian asked, puzzled: "You were always you, why split apart?"

Light and dark intertwined, silent for a long time.

Whether it was the Gu Yuena in the darkness or the Gu Yuena in the light, at this moment, both stood perfectly still.

"Qin... Jian..."

At both ends of the world, the two Gu Yuenas spoke simultaneously: "Originally... you could have just taken the most beautiful version of me away... why did you have to stay here and search for the dark me..."

"The Na'er you love... she is my most beautiful side..."

"Take her away... she is Gu Yuena... she has been from the very beginning..."

"From the moment you landed in this world of consciousness... I told you... she... is called Gu Yuena..."

Qin Jian, however, shook his head decisively: "No, she is not; she is not who I want."

Both Gu Yuenas fell silent at the same time.

"I only want to give you the best of me; is that not good?" they said faintly.

"It is not," Qin Jian said softly.

The two Gu Yuena clearly trembled: "Wh... why..."

"Because..."

Qin Jian smiled slightly.

"Na'er is you, and Gu Yue is also you..."

"Light is you, and darkness is you..."

"Kindness is you, and evil is you..."

"Creation is you, and Huihuo is you..."

"There was never any Na'er or Gu Yue, nor was there a light you or a dark you..."

He reached out his hands to both sides.

"Gu Yuena, you were always just you!"

Boom!

It was as if the world were collapsing; darkness and light suddenly merged.

Heaven and earth rolled back, and the entire field of vision was filled with the interweaving of light and dark.

The two Gu Yuena spun within the vortex, slowly drawing closer to Qin Jian.

They, or rather she, were streaming with tears.

"The original me is not as cute as Na'er, not as kind, not as wonderful..."

"I will be jealous, I will fear loneliness, I will want your protection, I will compete for favor with other women..."

"Is this kind of me really what you want?"

Qin Jian finally understood why Gu Yuena had taken the initiative to split into two.

It turned out she only wanted to give him the best version of herself, while wanting to cut away the bad.

Consciousness had always been shared; there never existed two personalities of Na'er and Gu Yue, they were merely her own personality under the dominance of different memories.

"Perhaps it was my obsession with Na'er that made you misunderstand..."

The world was spinning and twisting, but Qin Jian's voice echoed within this vast space.

"What I want is not a perfect you, but a complete you."

"As living beings, there is no such thing as absolute perfection; it is the intertwining of good and evil, right and wrong, that makes us who we are."

"Having received the good, one must naturally accept the bad."

"Gu Yuena, Gu Yue, Na'er..."

"You yourself are the best."

Boom!

The entire field of vision was filled with light and shadow, contracting at high Speed, as if returning to the moment the world was born.

Everything converged into the origin point where light and dark intertwined within the Void.

Darkness engulfed Qin Jian's consciousness.

Hum!

A bright light appeared at the end, and he walked toward it.

In an instant, the world became bright.

The smooth lake surface was like a mirror, with blue skies, white clouds, and mountains reflected like a painting.

Qin Jian stood in the center of the lake, as if standing on a mirror.

Elegant floral scents, a slightly cool breeze.

The world was in his eyes, reflecting the slender, fairy-like back before him.

A breeze lifted her silver hair, and a faint fragrance wafted over.

He opened his mouth, but could not bear to break this perfect picture.

But she turned her head at this moment.

A shallow smile, enough to enchant the mortal world.

"My name is..."

"Gu Yuena."
