Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 1094 - 247: Gu Feng’s Resolve

The Heavenly Destiny Mirror has fallen, yet the crisis in the Blood Realm remains unresolved.

At this moment, sorrow is no longer of any use.

As one of the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts, at the last moment, the Heavenly Destiny Mirror still adhered to the legacy of the Eight Great Masters, sacrificing itself to block Hei Yao’s attack.

Now, they must not let Ji Ru Mo’s sacrifice be in vain; they need to accomplish the last step of the new Dutian Blood Seal.

The basic drawing of the Blood Seal has been completed. What’s left is for Gu Feng to integrate the Bright Celestial Sphere and the Magic Array.

"Yun Sheng, tell Lingling that I will always be here blessing her!" Gu Feng’s eyes were exceptionally steadfast.

"Gu Feng, what’s going on?" After Ji Ru Mo’s sudden death, Yun Sheng was feeling a bit melancholic.

But she still keenly detected something unusual in Chang Siming and Gu Feng’s tone.

Could it be that creating the new Dutian Blood Seal is not as simple as she and Lingling previously imagined?

"Do you not know, because of the lack of both the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts and the blood of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan as a guide, to restart the new Dutian Blood Seal, Gu Feng must serve as the eye of the array, using his Light Magic Power to reform the Dutian Blood Seal. Once the Blood Seal is formed, Gu Feng must forever be sealed within it," Chang Siming looked at Yun Sheng and the reactions of the others, as if they were unaware of Gu Feng’s upcoming actions.

Chang Siming seemed suspicious, yet Gu Feng lowered his head, remaining silent.

Yun Sheng and Qi both paused in shock.

Using Gu Feng as the eye of the array, forever sealed within the new Dutian Blood Seal?

Doesn’t that mean Gu Feng must stay here, like a candle, using his life to maintain the Dutian Blood Seal!

That foolish boy Gu Feng, why didn’t he ever mention this?

How could he sacrifice himself?

Yun Sheng and Qi were about to stop it when a rush of footsteps came from behind, and Donghuang Lingling along with the Yuan siblings who had gone to stop Chi Muguang arrived.

The crowd was first startled by the corpses of the Black Qilin Soldiers on the ground, but upon hearing Chang Siming’s words, they were even more shocked.

"No!" A sharp cry, Donghuang Lingling’s face was filled with tears.

On the way here, sensing the terrifying fighting spirit emissions near the Dutian Blood Seal, Donghuang Lingling knew that the formidable Hei Yao must be at the Dutian Blood Seal.

Afraid for Gu Feng’s safety, she sprinted all the way.

Only then did Donghuang Lingling realize that she had never been able to put Gu Feng out of her mind.

Donghuang Lingling regretted it, for in that moment, neither the heavy expectation of her Empress Dowager nor the responsibility of the Donghuang Dynasty Empress could compare to Gu Feng’s life.

Ultimately, she was not the Empress of the Donghuang Dynasty; she would rather be a mere girl.

When she arrived near the Dutian Blood Seal and saw Gu Feng’s familiar figure, Donghuang Lingling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, hearing about Gu Feng’s intention to sacrifice himself to restart the Dutian Blood Seal using the Bright Celestial Sphere, she felt as if her brain was overwhelmed, unable to hear or see anything.

In her heart, there was only one voice: she must stop Gu Feng at all costs.

She could not be without Gu Feng!

"Gu Feng, have you forgotten your promise that you’d care for me for a lifetime, no matter how I change?" Donghuang Lingling cried out.

Hearing Donghuang Lingling’s words, Gu Feng felt a pang in his heart.

Donghuang Lingling, harmed by the soul snake, was almost turned into a fool, and Gu Feng had countless times whispered those words into her ear.

He promised that whether she became a princess or a commoner, whether she aged or grew ugly, he would love her unwaveringly.

At that time, Donghuang Lingling had given Gu Feng no response.

Yet he never expected she would answer him at this moment.

She remembered; she remembered his words.

"Lingling, I’m sorry. I promised I would always take care of you, but this time, I fear I can’t," Gu Feng saw Lingling’s tear-filled face, and felt deep sorrow.

,

He desperately wanted to step forward and hold Donghuang Lingling, comforting her properly.

Yet he didn’t have the courage to step even one step forward.

Gu Feng resolutely turned away, avoiding Lingling’s tragic gaze.

Gu Feng was never a brave person; he feared that if he moved forward, he would be swayed by Lingling’s tears, veering from his decision.

"No," Lingling rushed forward, disregarding the eyes watching, and hugged Gu Feng tightly from behind, refusing to let go.

Compared to the pain of death, the agony of separation is more torturous.

Donghuang Lingling could not bear to be separated by realms from Gu Feng.

"Ms. Donghua, please reconsider. The emotions between you and Gu Feng are moving, but if you persist, whether it’s Wuji Continent or Eastern Capital, Wuji Continent’s near ten thousand years of peace will be destroyed at once. Countless common folks will be trampled under the Eight Desolate Beast Clan’s iron hooves, and the continent will become a place of endless suffering," Chang Siming sighed mournfully.

Ji Ru Mo, to protect Yun Sheng and Wuji Continent, sacrificed the corporeal form he painstakingly formed with millennia of divine power, perishing with the destruction of the mirror.

Gu Feng too could only abandon personal feelings.

Donghuang Lingling knew well that Chang Siming’s words were right.

But her hands seemed out of control, refusing to release Gu Feng.

She knew that if she let go, she would never have the chance to see Gu Feng again.

Feeling the girl’s soft body and hot tears soaking his sleeve, Gu Feng bit his lips until he tasted blood.

Sobs swirled in his throat; he forced himself to not waver and to hide his sadness from Lingling.

"Lingling, I, perhaps, am a coward. This life, this one time, I am brave. I am also reluctant to leave you. But for the continent’s safety, for... you and the Donghuang Dynasty, for Yun Sheng and the others, for everyone, I must do this." Gu Feng arduously broke free from Lingling’s hold, leaving Lingling with an empty silhouette.

Wuuu —

Donghuang Lingling collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Yun Sheng stepped forward, holding her shoulders forcefully.

Donghuang Lingling, crying, watched Gu Feng and Chang Siming.

"Yun Sheng, he doesn’t want me." She hadn’t cried at the death of her father, nor when her brother became a fool.

Even the moment she severed ties with Gu Feng, Donghuang Lingling stifled her tears, but this time, she couldn’t hold on any longer, crying like a helpless child.

"Lingling, he doesn’t not want you; he wants to protect you, protect us," Yun Sheng said, eyes red, equally reluctant to let Gu Feng go.

But Gu Feng’s decision was correct.

If she were Gu Feng, she would do the same.

Gu Feng, always considered the weakest among them all, yet this time, he was stronger than anyone.
