Chapter 465: Are You Ready?

"Are we two one entity?"

For a moment, not only was Dong Yu somewhat surprised, but even Shen Yu could not help but be a little stunned.

In such a high-martial World, any kind of strange Cultivation Method is possible. Yin-yang transformation, one body with two souls, or even physical splitting are all things people can accept.

If they were of the same sex, Shen Yu would not be surprised at all to hear that they were one entity, but the problem now is that the two are of opposite sexes.

A man and a woman, if they are said to be one entity, then does the previous body count as a man or a woman, or does it have both?

Looking at Dong Yu and then at Xue Sha, the man is gentle and refined, the woman is pure and lovely; individually they are both pleasing to the eye, but if the two were to combine into one...

Hiss, thinking about it, why does it make one feel a bit of a chill?

"You cannot remember these ancient memories, but I still do. It is hatred; it is hatred that created the me of today."

"Back then, we were just like you are now, always firmly believing in the light in our hearts, always firmly upholding justice."

"We walked in the World, helping everyone we saw, helping everyone who needed help. This was our Dao, and it was our own choice."

"We were willing to give for the sake of the people of the World, we were willing to do everything within our power, just to exchange for a smiling face or a 'thank you'."

"At that time, no matter where we went, we were met with gazes of respect."

Recalling memories that were almost too blurry to remember, Xue Sha sighed faintly, her gaze deep and calm, yet seemingly containing a storm.

This look was like the calm before a storm; the calmer she appeared, the more it seemed to make people feel infinite fear.

"One day, a great catastrophe of heaven and earth struck, and the World suffered. Countless people had their corpses exposed in the wilderness, and blood dyed the rivers red. Those people knelt before us, begging us to take action."

"This was a great catastrophe; to enter the catastrophe with one's body meant ten deaths and no life. However, with our strength at the time, if we had been determined to hide, we could naturally have survived safely."

"But once we stepped forward, Life and Death would become unpredictable. Yet, seeing those pairs of pleading eyes, looking at the piles of white bones across a thousand miles, we still made our decision."

"Knowing it meant death, knowing that we might never return, for the sake of the world, for the sake of letting more people live, we had to stand out."

As she spoke, Xue Sha looked at Dong Yu, as if she saw that figure from back then.

At this moment, Dong Yu was clearly a replica of that figure from back then; both his conduct and his temperament were almost exactly the same.

As for her, she was the dark side that grew in her heart after experiencing certain times, and was severed from the main body. Therefore, her power was far weaker than Dong Yu's, and that was why she had to seize everything from the other party.

Facts have already proven that she was the one who was right; being kind to others is simply a load of crap.

People can only live for themselves; selfishness is human nature, it is instinct, and this instinct of the human body is the most correct and wisest choice.

"In that battle back then, we gave our all, paid everything; to protect those people, we almost lost our lives."

"We were lucky; we thought we would surely die, but we miraculously survived, only this strength of ours was almost entirely crippled as a result."

"But do you know what we finally got after paying all that?"

"Our survival was both lucky and unlucky, because when we needed help the most, when we needed someone to lend a hand the most, we did not receive the slightest bit of help."

"Those who received our grace, those who were protected by us, bared their fangs at us when we were at our weakest, revealing their ugliest side."

"What awaited us was not help, but sharp blades. It was betrayal, betrayed by everyone!"

Although Xue Sha's eyes still looked calm at this moment, Shen Yu seemed to be able to see the storm hidden within. It was hatred, infinite hatred.

The greater the expectations back then, the more intense the hatred after being betrayed.

Hearing this, Shen Yu seemed to understand; clearly he had helped everyone, clearly he had not even wanted his life for their sake, but the result was that after saving them, he was instead stabbed by them.

No matter who this happened to, wouldn't they be jumping with rage? If there was a chance, how could one vent the hatred in their heart without hacking them into pieces?

That kind of hatred born from the heart, the power condensed from it, is indeed enough to drive one mad.

And at this moment, Shen Yu seemed to have already seen in Xue Sha's eyes that kind of hatred sufficient to drown out reason, a hatred so crazy it wanted to destroy the World.

"Back then, sharp blades pierced our chests; everyone wanted to drink our blood, eat our flesh, and devour our souls."

"Our power was already gone, and to them, we were no longer useful, so they wanted to squeeze out the last bit of utility value from us."

"Using our flesh and souls to nourish their bodies, helping them grow. Using the flesh on our bodies to let them and their descendants become experts one by one."

"This is human nature; when we no longer had the power to protect ourselves, when they no longer needed us, our fate could only be this."

"We were sliced into a thousand pieces by those who had received our grace; that heart-wrenching pain was like a maggot attached to the bone, never-ending day after day, can you imagine it!"

"Is it ridiculous? But this is human nature!"

Slowly walking forward, she took a deep breath. As if absorbing the power from Dong Yu's body, it made Xue Sha feel refreshed all over, and an excited expression appeared on her face.

"Physical pain is nothing; the pain in the heart is what makes one despair. And I was born from the heart during those countless days and nights."

"So you are me, and I am you; you and I were originally one entity, and now it is just a matter of letting us two merge into one. Give up your persistence, let us reunite!"

"I refuse!" Shaking his head, the power within Dong Yu's body continued to erupt and grow, yet his eyes became increasingly calm.

Even though Xue Sha's story seemed to tug at his heartstrings, it could not shake his will in the slightest.

"No matter if what you say is true or false, I will not submit to you!"

"I can see it; there is only destruction in your eyes."

"Yes, there is only destruction in our eyes. Put away your pathetic hypocrisy. We do not need any pity."

"It is not up to you now; back then we sacrificed ourselves for the sake of the world, and now it is the world's turn to do something for us."

"Devouring the power of this World for my own use, we will transcend everything."

As she spoke, Xue Sha let out a cold snort, while her gaze once again looked toward the void, the wariness in her eyes flashing and vanishing.

At the same time, she became a little impatient; she had already told the story of the past, and with her own little tricks, it should definitely have been enough to vaguely stir his memories.

At this time, combined with the influence of her own main body's spiritual energy, the two added together, she had thought it would at least have some effect.

Even the slightest emotional fluctuation would have been enough for her subsequent methods to work.

But who could have thought that this bastard in front of her would be so stubborn and thick-headed? He really is dense! Regarding the events of the past, you damn well don't hold any grudge at all!

Especially this familiar calm look right now, it makes people's teeth itch with anger; what to do if one can't help but want to slap him!

"Dong Yu, don't you hate?"

"Why should I hate? You are wrong. This body is a sea of bitterness; sailing a boat in a sea of bitterness, having the fate to help others is actually saving oneself. I help others, it seems like others have received my grace, but in fact, I have also received the grace of others."

"As for whether others want to repay it, or what they think in their hearts, that is their own choice."

"No matter what choice they make, I will not be surprised, nor will I hold a grudge because of it."

"Damn it, it's exactly the same as back then; a blockhead who won't see reason, so rigid it makes one want to kill him."
