In the chaos, it was as if I heard someone calling for me.

She seemed to see herself lying dead in a desert, without any greenery.

Endless yellow sand, wolf smoke everywhere. She was at the center of the storm, the wind swept in, and the shadowy wind and sand turned into human shapes surrounded her, and she couldn't control her body at all.

Struggling with all her might, a blinding sevenfold light suddenly slashed down from the air like thunder, and she stumbled up from the ground as if relieved, stumbling to break through the restraints.

The sky is auspicious, the sun and the moon are the same day, and the sky is full of color.

The humanoid sand shadows that bound her suddenly fell silent, and they all fell to the ground with a coaxing like spilled sand, pile after pile, and she turned to look around in a panic.

Suddenly there was silence in the desert.

Gu Nian slowly raised her head, and saw a strange purple glow shining in the sky, and the stars were shining in the sky, she pinched herself, the pain was so real and clear.

When she came back to her senses and looked around again, the scene had already changed, it was a dark and quiet sea under the night sky, the sparkling waves reflected with silver stars, and the beach was not endless.

She was under a towering tree, and there was no end in sight to the height of the tree. The foliage is luxuriant, but the dense foliage is all yellow.

The golden leaves look very strange in this dark night.

Under the thousand-year-old sacred tree, there is an old man with a white head, and his long hair is scattered. He was dressed in white, but he sat barefoot under a tree.

"What are you here to worship? Youngster. ”

Before Gu Nian could think about what was going on, he heard the old man speak slowly.

With the mystery of an ancient myth in her low, hoarse voice, she involuntarily stepped forward, but stopped when she met the old man's eyes.

The old man's eyes were not black, but all whites.

Gu Nian was taken aback and took two steps back in shock.

"I'm here to worship God."

Although most of her heart was afraid, she unconsciously answered the old man's question, as if it had been set.

I saw the old man smile contemptuously, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Are you here to worship God, or are you here to worship the desires of your heart?"

"It's both."

She replied honestly.

"The former is faith, and the latter is human nature."

These words seemed to arouse the old man's deep interest, and he squinted his eyes, and carefully looked at Gu Nian not far in front of him with his eyes that were not black, with a normal expression.

"What do you want?" The old man spoke again, he tidied up his scattered robes, and then slowly stood up, walked to the thousand-year-old divine tree, respectfully folded his hands, and bowed slightly.

"I want to go home."

If you say that the first few words are not what Gu Nian thinks in her heart, but she blurts out. But this last sentence is what Gu Nian really thinks in his heart.

The old man turned sideways and gave Gu Nian a place, and he pointed to the open space directly in front of the thousand-year-old divine tree. Gu Nian looked at his thin and shriveled fingers, and suddenly there was a worn-out blanket of red velvet on top of the clearing.

Gu Nian involuntarily stepped forward, then slowly knelt down, folded his hands, and then raised his palms upwards in a requesting manner. She closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she slowly kowtowed her head with her hands on either end of her head, still palms facing up.

My heart was blank and silent.

After involuntarily performing the ritual, she got up and returned to where she had been standing.

The old man slowly took out a bead from his cuff and placed it in the palm of his hand, and the bead slowly rose into the air and floated, emitting a strange and dazzling white light.

Gu Nian fixed his eyes, this grape-sized bead, as if he had seen it somewhere.

She kept thinking about her memories, and finally remembered that this was the first time she met Quan Yin in Le Shaolou that night, and the contents of his box.

The old man seemed to be able to see through what she was thinking, and a smile appeared on his face that was already grim, he nodded and said, "That's right, this is the Soul Bead." ”

"Why are the Dementor Orbs with you?" Gu Nian was puzzled, shouldn't the Dementor Bead be on himself?

And here, and where?

After such a long time, she suddenly thought of this question that should have been asked in the first place, and it was precisely from this moment that it seemed that she really cared about herself.

The old man was still smiling, his face pale and thin, with deep shriveled lines, which looked particularly terrifying under the beads that constantly glowed white.

"You don't need to know where this is, you just need to know your heart's desires."

The old man spoke slowly, piercing the questions she hadn't asked yet, and gaining the upper hand.

"Why did I go to Yu Dynasty? What about my original world? How do I get back? Gu Nian asked persistently as if he didn't understand his words.

"Your desires determine your future path, and it's up to you whether you can go back or not."

The old man did not answer her question directly.

"You need to help the person you marry ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five, and the time is your return."

When the old man saw that she was silent, he continued.

"I married... Yu Zeyan?! ”

Gu Nian was shocked in his heart, the position of the Ninety-Five? Your Majesty's position?

How could I possibly help him ascend to that throne? This is usually done by a virtuous and vicious person with an iron fist, right? How can I, a waste like me who doesn't even understand the rules of this world and just wants to be a salted fish, can I help him ascend to the throne?

It's harder than climbing to the sky.

Wait, he said the man I married to...

Then should I marry again?

The old man still saw through her thoughts, and shook his head helplessly, "No." ”

Is it possible to marry someone else? Isn't that just going to kill me! I can't afford to go back, just say it, it's useless.

Wouldn't it be more promising to marry Yu Jingyan or King Xu directly?

They are still His Majesty's biological princes, and if you let me waste salted fish, I will help the prince who may not be able to fight for the throne with the eight poles of the throne, it is simply more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Gu Nian turned around to leave.

"All worlds are parallel and existent."

Just as she was about to leave, she heard the old man behind her say such a sentence, and her leg unconsciously retracted.

"Aren't you curious, how did you come to this world?"

The old man's words were plain, but they were very difficult to move.

She turned her head to ask, but suddenly heard a scream from the sky behind her, like the song of a man or the sound of a bird.

Subconsciously looking back, she saw a huge bird flying in the colorful sky, and the speed was extremely fast. It is covered with colorful feathers, its four claws are very sharp, and its tail hair is extremely long.

It threw its head up and screamed again, but it was unusually beautiful, like a song.

The speed is getting faster and faster, as if it is about to crash into Gu Nian.

Gu Nian froze and remained motionless, with nowhere to hide.

The bird was only a fist away from her, and then it quickly turned to the side and landed slowly in the direction of the sacred tree.

The soft feathers brushed the side of her face, and she felt as if she was fascinated.

"What kind of bird is this?"

Gu Nian turned around and saw that the big bird had just landed, and was impatiently combing the feathers on its body with its sharp beak, and its body trembled.

"It's called Luanniao."

The old man smiled, and he stepped forward and touched its back, and the bird arched the old man's hand like a coquettish cat, and his eyes blinked.

"Luan Niao...."

Gu Nian muttered, her mind flashed, as if she had thought of something....

According to ancient books, Luan Niao is an auspicious beast, often mentioned with the phoenix, and loves to sing.

It's the same as Phoenix, it's....

It is a symbol of Wang Deguang's quilt and sage's throne!

What does this portend? Could it be that Yu Xueyan is really ambitious to step into the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor?

Gu Nian raised her head in horror, but found that the bird was staring at her, and even the feathers were not combed, and the two small black eyes blinked, and they craned their necks to look at her curiously.

This is the polar opposite of one's own goals.

When I first crossed over, I just wanted to survive in this difficult ancient world unharmed, until I woke up one day and went home.

All along, her goals have not changed.

But there was this dream-like deity that told him that he could only go home if he had fulfilled this great task.

The road to the top has always been a step by step crawl with blood and corpses, and no dynasty is no exception.

Intrigue was commonplace along the way, and the heirs were even waiting for the usurper rebels to kill and set fire to their own interests.

If you become a king or lose, you will be crushed if you lose.

Gu Nian felt that he couldn't do it.

Ci does not lead troops, righteousness does not control money, this road is completely a desperate road that can see what the future will be.
