Chapter 12 Because I Just Happened to Meet You
"Hmm? Let me see."
Werner turned his head.
In the distance, a small white figure could be seen.
Although somewhat blurry, it is not difficult to see that the figure is sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by several milky white bubbles of soul fragments in an inverted spiral.
It seems to be absorbing something.
"It should be...it should be...a cultivator who is currently cultivating."
Not long ago, Werner circled around and found no souls.
I think I just encountered them while we were talking, after walking a short distance.
Gu Yun clapped his hands after receiving confirmation.
quicken your pace and move forward.
"Isn't this coming?"
He kept humming a little tune.
"Because I just happened to meet you~~"
Werner was a bit dazed because he was hit by a beam of light.
He hadn't expected to be proven wrong so quickly.
As Gu Yun quickened his pace, someone lost their footing.
"Clap."
It fell off my shoulder and back.
"Your teammate has disconnected."
Werner scratched his bewildered head.
Werner: No, buddy.
Werner: Do you give him whatever he wants?
Werner: Okay, okay.
Werner: Is this how you play it?
......
"Hmm? How come there's a soul cultivating here? I didn't seem to notice it when I arrived."
Gu Yun put her hands behind her back and deliberately raised her voice slightly.
But it doesn't seem deliberate.
The white, seated spirit heard the voice beside it.
Stop practicing.
Push aside the bubbles of souls surrounding you.
He slowly stood up and looked toward the source of the sound behind him.
Instant time.
A golden light caught my eye.
Pupils shrink.
Those were souls she had never encountered here before.
No, even within the entire world she inhabits, it is unheard of and unseen.
The spirit standing before her.
His whole body radiated a dazzling golden light.
His right thumb and middle finger were twisted together and placed close to his body in front of his abdomen, while his left hand rested behind his back.
Behind him was a constantly rotating, round, golden backlight.
Werner Backlit Limited Edition: Don't ask me, I was coerced.
It was as if majesty and greatness were synonymous with the noble presence before him.
It must be some important figure with a significant background!
Gu Yun: Listening to your words is like listening to a lecture.
The white soul suddenly became bewildered and somewhat flustered.
She didn't know what to say.
She's usually very easygoing and carefree.
In front of important people.
If I say something wrong, my life will be in danger.
How to do how to do.
She doesn't want to die yet.
Ahhh, Mother, please bless me.
We'll get through this difficult time.
I swear, I will study hard and make progress every day from now on!
……
The two remained locked in a stalemate for a full minute.
Gu Yun: ?
Does this person seem a little dim-witted?
Why don't you speak?
Because all souls are the same color from head to toe, it is impossible to discern the other person's expression.
He was unable to make a judgment.
Having no other choice, he had to speak again.
"you......"
"Ah—senior, I was wrong! Please don't kill me—"
"I am just a minor cultivator from the mortal realm. I have not done anything illegal or disorderly in coming to the other side to cultivate my soul!"
"If I have inadvertently disturbed you, I apologize and hope you will be magnanimous and not take it to heart."
The white spirit before him immediately knelt down, placing his hands on the ground and his forehead pressed tightly against it.
Gu Yun: ?
Werner: ?
How can someone be so cowardly?
The voice sounds like it belongs to a woman?
But this whole set of lines sounds like it's been practiced hundreds of times.
Gu Yun gently touched her forehead.
"Get up. I am not a bloodthirsty person. We have no grudge against each other. Why would I kill you?"
"I was just passing by and found no one around. I just happened to come back and see you."
"oh oh."
The white soul slowly rose, dusting off the dust... matter on its body?
"Senior, you should have said so earlier! You scared me to death. But you are really amazing. You can still remember the way you came from in a place where the environment is exactly the same every few steps."
"Oh, I forgot this is the other side; there's no dust on the ground."
Hmm, I noticed the inconsistencies, but didn't question them.
It seems to be natural.
broken.
Legend has it that it is naturally able to counter cunning and scheming individuals.
Every step she takes is highly likely to be unexpected, which could render Gu Yun's prepared scripts ineffective.
However, she refers to the other side, which seems to be the Alpha dimension's name for the Omega dimension, as Werner mentioned.
Just as Werner said, most people in the lower four realms are actually unaware of the differences between dimensions.
Not to mention soul essence or power.
They simply divided the world into the mortal realm, the other side, and the immortal realm according to their own understanding.
They believe that by cultivating to the extreme, one can ascend to the immortal realm, and that after death, the soul will leave the body and be reincarnated on the other side—it's that simple.
Unfortunately, there's no such thing as reincarnation.
"By the way, senior, who are you? Are you an immortal from the celestial realm? Can immortals also die?"
Gu Yun was speechless once again.
Who says you can only come after you're dead?
Then you're dead too.
Forget it.
Preparation is useless.
However, his performance under pressure is also top-notch.
"I am not a dead immortal, but a manager who walks on the other side, responsible for maintaining order in this world."
"I...I've never seen you before."
The white soul lowered its head and spoke weakly.
She began practicing cultivation under her mother's guidance when she was 10 years old.
I have crossed to the other side nearly a hundred times.
I've never encountered this before.
"Because in the past I would transform into a soul like yours to observe and examine you, today is my true form."
"Ah, that's right!"
Gu Yun couldn't continue the conversation; they weren't on the same wavelength.
No, talking is too tiring.
Let's just get straight to the point.
Give me your hand.
"Huh? Awooooo!"
The white soul was stunned for a moment, then immediately reached out its hand.
Gu Yun gently grasped her arm.
Luckily, the girl kept her head down the whole time, otherwise she probably would have had to kneel down again.
A flash of red light appeared in his eyes.
"Power: Assimilation".
From the point where the two met, Gu Yun's golden body was instantly covered in white.
It was no different from the white soul entity before them.
Werner: Phew, finally I don't have to change the aperture anymore.
Instantly, an extremely large flow of information surged into Gu Yun's soul.
"boom."
It felt like I'd been struck by lightning.
The pupils instantly lost their luster.
His whole body froze on the spot.
Human Realm... Northern Region... Crimson Flame Star... Crimson Flame Empire... Crimson Flame Empress... Third Princess... Su Xiaoqian...
......
One minute.
Two minutes.
...
five minutes.
"Manage...manager?"
Although Su Xiaoqian noticed something was wrong, the golden light seemed to have disappeared.
But she still didn't dare to look up; her senior seemed to be thinking about something.
He held her hand without saying a word.
It seems inappropriate to abruptly interrupt a senior's train of thought.
If you accidentally get angry, you're doomed.
Her mother always taught her that if she encountered someone outside who was much more powerful than herself, she should...
Remember, great people often have eccentric personalities.
Don't be curious at all.
If you can't control your mouth, then shut her up.
Speak less, do less, and listen more.
The most important thing is to stay alive.
The Empress Dowager will take care of things for her from now on.
I think I just couldn't help but say a few extra words again.
Ugh.
It seems even the Empress Dowager can't find this place again.
The rulers on the other side must be more powerful than the Empress Dowager.
I'll wait and see.
......
ten minutes later.
Gu Yun finally came to her senses.
Frog Fun, you're sweating buckets, bro.
