Chapter 61 The world cannot do without gods (——…

Yu Yao/Text

Although the people on Jiuyou restored Xi Che’s status as the God of War in order to make him continue to work for them, the Temple of the God of War had long been abandoned and it would take some time to rebuild it. Xi Che had nowhere to go at this time, but he didn’t want to go to Chu Yan. He knew that Chu Yan had approached him many times in private, but Xi Che always avoided him on the grounds of being busy with official business.

He was really embarrassed. All the things that happened before, whether it was what happened to him as a succubus on Jiuyou or what happened in the lower world, made Xi Che feel embarrassed.

…

How could he be the one down there?!

Ah, bah, bah, it’s not this reason, it’s… Oh, anyway, I can’t describe the embarrassment.

Since returning to Jiuyou, Chu Yan has never come to see him again. Xi Che thought that he should have the same feeling as himself. All of this, It makes people wonder where to start, or whether they should mention it - maybe they shouldn't mention it.

Xi Che felt as if he had returned to the days tens of thousands of years ago, guarding the ladder every day, and then wandering around on the Nine Netherworld, drinking with old friends, and being quite free and easy. However, there are not many old friends left on the Nine Netherworld, and Zhu Wu is the only enemy left, but since he regained his identity as the God of War, Zhu Wu is not so sharp when he sees him again. Once he ran into Xi Che, Xi Che wanted to avoid him wisely, but he was stopped by him.

"I have something to say."

Xi Che was stunned for a moment, stopped and looked back at him. He looked around, and finally pointed at his nose and said: "You... are you talking to me?"

Zhu Wu raised his chin expressionlessly: "Of course, is there anyone else here."

Xi Che thought for a while: "Okay, then I'm all ears."

——It was nothing more than some insults to him, he was used to it, was he afraid to hear it again.

But Xi Che did not expect that Zhu Wu said: "I'm sorry, I didn't want to kill you."

Xi Che looked at him in confusion, Zhu Wu turned away embarrassedly: "I know that the peach blossom incident has nothing to do with you, but... I was blinded by anger at the time, and killing you was just an act of venting. I want to apologize to you, but I can't bring myself to see you again. I keep telling myself that I am not wrong, I must tell myself so. Otherwise..."

Otherwise, he was killed by him, how should he deal with it? After all, they... were close friends a long, long time ago.

Xi Che thought he could accept any result, but he did not expect that Zhu Wu's confession made his eyes sore. He restrained himself and closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he spoke again, he clearly wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but his voice was choked: "Then we are even, from now on... I don't want to be an enemy of you, the God of Justice."

Zhu Wu did not speak, but just stepped forward a few steps and gently hugged Xi Che.

"I dare not be your enemy. Who can beat you now?"

Xi Che hit him hard on the back twice: "Don't give me that! Let's drink together later."

Zhu Wu's voice was choked: "Of course, as long as you are willing."

Xi Che was about to say something, but Zhu Wu suddenly pushed him away, his eyes passed over his shoulder and fell on the opposite side. Seeing that his expression was very subtle, Xi Che couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Then he saw Chu Yan standing under a tree, watching them from a distance.

Zhu Wu sneered: "It seems that we have to drink another day."

Xi Che was embarrassed again.

Chu Yan stood there and waited for Zhu Wu to leave before walking up to him: "I heard that your Temple of the God of War has not been repaired yet, let's go to Yujing Palace and have a seat."

Xi Che subconsciously bit his lip and wanted to refuse: "I..."

"You and Zhu Wu have reconciled, why are you hiding from me?"

Xi Che heard him sound a little aggrieved, and looked at Chu Yan's face uncertainly, but saw that his expression was still calm. However, this interruption made it less awkward, and he nodded: "Okay."

Chu Yan's Yujing Palace was also older than before. Xi Che touched and looked around, but he couldn't remember what it looked like before. He suddenly remembered a prophecy that was popular in Jiuyou recently, that if new gods were not born, the old gods would fall. Perhaps, they really are the last gods.

"Don't you want to drink? I have a jar of white pear here, which is also a rare good wine. Why don't we have a drink together?"

Xi Che hesitated and looked at Chu Yan. He made a "please" gesture towards the backyard, and Xi Che had to nod: "Okay."

When he said "Okay", he had a fearless mood. Of course, he knew that Chu Yan didn't ask him to drink in the backyard just for drinking. He must want to make some things that happened recently clear.

After Chu Yan and Xi Che drank a glass, he said: "I regret it."

Xi Che swallowed the wine in his mouth, raised his eyes slightly and looked at him: "What do you mean? What do you regret?"

Chu Yan sighed softly: "I regret drinking that cup of water from the spring of conscience."

Xi Che didn't expect him to mention something so long ago, and he was a little embarrassed. In fact, after so long, what separated the two of them was no longer a private affair. Too much has happened, and too many lives have been involved, and that little private affair has been diluted. "

Actually... there is nothing wrong with what you did. Gods should be like this, and they should be selfless."

Chu Yan laughed at himself: "If I could really be selfless, I would drink it, but now I think about it, I can't be indifferent to you at all. I drank the spring of inquiry just to escape from my own heart. After all, I was young at that time and couldn't see my true feelings clearly. Asa, you know that even if you drink the spring of inquiry, as long as the roots of love are not broken, the love will still grow."

Xi Che had never heard Chu Yan say so many words in one breath, and looked at him in shock. Chu Yan suddenly reached out and gently held his hand: "Yinglu actually advised me that I would regret it, but I didn't care. After I drank the spring water, she said that she had also drunk this sip. Spring, but the pain is still painful... Even when the love grows again, it will be a hundred times more painful than before. "

Xi Che subconsciously shrank his hand and wanted to pull it back, but Chu Yan held it tightly: "I really regret it... I regret it so much, Asa, I don't want to be a god anymore, I want to leave with you."

Xi Che looked at Chu Yan in shock: "Why... I thought you wouldn't..."

Chu Yan smiled at him: "I missed it once, how could I make the same mistake again. Asa, let's leave here together, it doesn't matter where we go."

Xi Che stared at him for a long time, closed his eyes, and he suddenly picked up the wine glass on the table, tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass.

"Okay, since you are willing to talk to me, then I will agree. But I hope you can give me another eight hundred years."

Chu Yan frowned subconsciously: "Eight hundred years?"

Xi Che stood up, raised the corners of his lips and looked at him: "Didn't you see clearly this time in the lower world, Chu Yan, this world does not need gods at all."

"..."

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, but heard Xi Che continue: "This world originally had its own operating laws, and after so many years, there are no more frequent natural disasters and inexplicable deaths, and there is no god to intervene. The world gradually began to operate according to its own laws. However, it may take a little longer... I still have to guard the ladder to prevent those monsters and monsters from invading the Nine Netherworld before the laws of the world are completely formed. Siming Star Lord said that today's Nine Netherworld is very different from before, but there are still some laws on the Nine Netherworld that have not yet been integrated into nature. The last magic weapon should be the Four-Day Clock. The stars move, the seasons change, and the gods still need to manually turn the Four-Day Clock... But Siming Star Lord has predicted that there will be a turning point in eight hundred years. I believe that this must be the turning point when the Four-Day Clock becomes part of the laws of nature."

- Just like the world he came from, this world will no longer need gods after all. At that time, he will have no responsibilities on his shoulders, and he will leave with him.

Chu Yan stared at him quietly, knowing that he had something unsaid. Xi Che pondered for a long time and swallowed: "You have regrets, and so do I. I regret my willfulness and giving up my responsibilities for the sake of my children's personal feelings... I want to make up for the mistakes I made back then. Chu Yan, can you wait for me?"

Chu Yan looked at him and couldn't help but chuckled: "You are really the Azas I knew back then... Okay, I'll wait for you, until this world no longer needs us, or until... new gods are born."

Xi Che couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled. Just as he was about to say something, Chu Yan grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms heavily: "But now that the Spring of Inquiry is gone, you can be with me now."

"..."

Xi Che choked: "This, this, this..."

Chu Yan raised his head and gently pinched his jaw: "Why, the God of War wants to abandon me?"

"...I dare not."

*

Since agreeing to be with Chu Yan, Xi Che discovered that this Bright God was not as aloof as he had shown before. It was as if he wanted to say out loud everything he had not had time to say for thousands of years, and he said whatever he wanted to say.

But even if they were together, since neither of them had resigned yet, they couldn't do the normal things that couples do. At most, they could make eye contact and hold hands. If they did more, they would be struck by lightning.

Chu Yan felt very frustrated, and finally one day, he thought of a good idea.

Dreaming Stone.

This originated from the time when Chu Yan suddenly asked, "Asa, did you have any strange dreams when you were in the lower world?"

When Xi Che heard the word "dream", he immediately thought of those beautiful dreams that he should never have. His face changed instantly, but he couldn't tell the truth that he had erotic dreams every day in the Demon Realm, and dreamed of this and that with him, so he immediately began to make up lies: "No, I never dream."

Chu Yan saw through his lies almost immediately. He was a little excited, but his face was still expressionless. Chu Yan stared at Xi Che for a long time: "Oh, really. Then let's try it."

Xi Che subconsciously took a step back: "Try what?"

Chu Yan raised his hand and held up the dream-building stone in his palm: "Gods have no dreams. If you can enter a dream with me and be safe and sound, I will believe you."

Xi Che twitched his mouth: "What do you mean by safe and sound? What do you want to do, Chu Yan, I warn you, don't go too far..."

Chu Yan was silent for a moment, grabbed his wrist, and took him into the bed tent: "Don't worry, I won't go too far."

"Damn it!"

Those things can't be done, but dreaming is always okay.
