Chapter 192 The truth comes out
"This is your choice, I didn't force you," Kaguya explained.
"Yes, this is my choice, I have no regrets." Yijiu closed his eyes.
Kaguya gathered a tiny bit of strength, and then split it into smaller pieces before sending it to Yijiu.
Zeng Jun and Ping Yi looked at all this, and the answers to all the questions were finally about to appear.
The moment Yijiu came into contact with this tiny bit of power, his whole body began to burn. In an instant, only a complete skeleton was left, and his flesh had been completely burned.
And at Yijiu's heart, his heart turned into a gem, which was the gem that Zengjun obtained, a gem that allowed Zengjun to retain three levels of divine power.
Zeng Jun saw this scene, "So, I am grateful to Yi Jiu, otherwise I would have ended up like this, right?" Zeng Jun thought, touching his heart with his left hand.
Indeed, Yijiu's death made Songjun successful and also allowed Kaguya to achieve her goal, to use a mortal's heart to refine an unsuppressed gem, and bet on the next challenger with divine power, thus achieving Kaguya's own freedom.
Everything was like a setup. Zeng Jun was the lucky one who came later, but he was also a challenger. It can be said that without Yijiu's sacrifice, Zeng Jun would not have been able to pass the first level. Without Kaguya's help, Zeng Jun would not have been able to go that far.
This was like an unexpected conspiracy, and Yijiu was the victim of this conspiracy. Kaguya was gambling, and Sojun was the one being bet on.
Therefore, it is difficult for Zeng Jun to evaluate, as both sides have people helping him.
One is Yijiu, who offered his heart and spirit. His dedication made Zengjun successful, and also fulfilled his original ideal of meeting Zengjun, but they met in this way.
The meeting between the Yin and Yang is very far away, so far that they can never come back, and will never meet again. But Yijiu lives in Zengjun's heart, and Zengjun will continue to walk with Yijiu's heart.
So Zengjun looked at Yijiu who had become a corpse and said, "Thank you."
Pingyi seemed to understand that everything Kaguya did was also due to Kaguya herself. However, Kaguya hesitated. At that moment, she thought about whether she was right and whether she should do this.
Yijiu made the choice for Kaguya just to prove to himself that mortals are not incapable. However, Yijiu failed in the end. Yijiu was destined to fail because this is not a fairy tale world, this is the real world and there are not many miracles here.
And Yijiu is not the protagonist either. Just as he refuted his father at the beginning, he had nothing, and until the end, he still had nothing.
It was natural for Zengjun to feel mixed emotions when he saw this, but there was also a part that made him feel something was wrong.
Songjun thought the story was over, and the sequel was that Kaguya put the remains in the secret room, "But, I always feel that something is wrong, there is a place that I can't explain."
"Yes, his mother, and the gem in the remains' belly." Zengjun recalled that Yijiu's mother was still outside.
So Zengjun took Pingyi and rushed to the foot of the snow mountain immediately.
At this time, it was snowing outside, and she was already lying on the ice with her head down, praying.
Snowflakes floated on her body, gradually dyeing her new clothes white.
At this time, Kaguya had also released Yijiu's remains and stood on the top of the snow mountain.
Sojun looked at Kaguya, and Kaguya looked at her.
"What will be her final outcome?" Songjun thought as he stood beside her.
The wind and snow were blowing, and the originally mild climate was gradually getting colder. This was the fundamental reason why it became very cold outside when Zeng Jun came later.
Moreover, it was not actually cold outside the snowy mountains at the beginning.
She did not leave, but continued to kneel. Perhaps she was already dead, or perhaps she was not far from death.
The three of them were waiting for her choice: leave? Or was she really dead?
Zengjun and Pingyi already knew the answer, otherwise she would not be able to explain herself in the third level. However, the two of them accompanied her with the answer, accompanying her even though the ending was already determined.
And what about Kaguya? She was also waiting. Kaguya certainly couldn't do it to a mother, but the environment here had also changed because of the death of a true mortal.
As time passed, she did not leave in the end, but became a part of this snow mountain forever.
The ice and snow froze her body stiff and she was dead.
Kaguya flew down to take care of her affairs.
Kaguya came to her and looked at the invisible barrier of the snowy mountain. "I will definitely get out, and your sacrifice will not be in vain."
After hearing this, Zeng Jun understood everything. The whole story was revealed.
Kaguya pointed her hand at her in the air, and then she still maintained the kneeling posture. She had left, or perhaps she had left early.
A cut appeared on her chest in front of Kaguya, and then her heart was refined into a gem by Kaguya and placed in the belly of Yijiu's remains. She and Yijiu waited for the arrival of their destined person.
And her body was taken to a new secret room by Kaguya, who placed her there and inserted a mirror in the middle of the formation, a mirror that could review the story.
And on the wall of the secret room, between the second and third pictures, a new mural appeared, a mural of a kneeling person. Thus, the third level was born!
At this point, the whole story of the third level has been settled.
Zengjun was also pulled back to the mirror in the third level.
The broken parts of the five fingers placed on the mirror also began to repair.
"So, do you know what this level is testing?" Ping Yi flew to Zengjun and asked him.
"This level of test actually appeared a long time ago," Zeng Jun said as he walked towards the body.
She was still kneeling there.
Zengjun came to her kneeling front, closed his eyes and clasped his hands together.
Facing her, Zengjun knelt on one knee and said, "Your child, Yijiu, is great. He didn't embarrass you in there. He didn't cry either. I just feel sorry."
Having said this, Zengjun fell silent, just like Yijiu’s choice at that time: the end of sadness is silence.
"Really?" She slowly opened her mouth and asked in front of Zengjun.
Songjun still closed his eyes, "Really"
"I knew that Xiaojiu was just a little ignorant. He was never a bad boy," she said in a hoarse voice.
Then she gradually dissipated, from having a body to turning into dust, she completed her destiny.
And Zeng Jun has also fulfilled her regret. In the future, Zeng Jun will continue to move forward with Yijiu's hope, not just for Zeng Jun himself.
Then, the mirror turned into a vortex, and an entrance to the fourth level appeared.
Zeng Jun turned and walked towards the inverted vortex. Before leaving, he looked back at this place. It seemed that there was nothing here worth remembering for Zeng Jun.
