"May I have your name?"
"I don't remember."
"Then I'll give you a name, okay?"
The man did not answer, but looked at her with his ink-black eyes. His eyes seemed cold, but in their center there was a star-like light.
The star-like light flashed bit by bit in the depths of my eyes.
"Aji." Gu Jiu stroked his cold face and said with a smile, "I'll call you Aji from now on, okay?"
The man nodded slowly, his expression indifferent, as if he had no objection to the name.
But Gu Jiu knew him very well, so he could tell the joy beneath his calmness. In general, he was a reserved person.
The two men sat on the skeleton of a giant beast.
Under the pale moonlight, there were only piles of bones. Those residual souls were hiding somewhere unknown. As the man's soul became clearer and clearer, the forest of bones also underwent tremendous changes.
Not only did the laws disappear, but the remaining souls were also drawn by some force and slowly returned to the world.
The residual souls are the result of obsessions and are not normal souls. Their destiny is to return to heaven and earth.
Gu Jiu seemed to see the changes in time and space, and the world changed in a flash.
Time and space are also part of the law.
No, those laws did not disappear, but returned to his body, and he became the embodiment of the laws.
The gods are the embodiment of the law.
… …
Gu Jiu suddenly took a deep breath. She seemed to understand why the gods of the heavens and myriad worlds fell and why the last god of destruction was born in the end.
"Ajiu?"
The man looked at her in confusion, reached out and gently touched her cheek, feeling his fingertips seemed a little wet.
Gu Jiu smiled at him, her clear eyes were watery, as if they were filled with spring water, which would overflow with water if she wasn't careful.
The man twisted the remaining moisture on his fingers and felt that it was not his illusion. He was full of confusion and a surge of anxiety in his heart.
"Ajiu!" He gently held her waist with his hands, not even daring to use force, only raising his voice a little.
"I'm fine." Gu Jiu still smiled at him, "I just suddenly realized something."
He asked hesitantly, "…What is it? Can I know?"
Gu Jiu held his cold hand and said softly, "I'll tell you later."
The man hummed blankly, all his attention was on the hand she was holding on his. She was obviously also a ghost, but for some reason, he always felt that there was warmth from her soul, warmth that warmed his icy soul.
He was craving for such warmth and tenderness.
He thought that she must have appeared in his memory before. Even if he lost his memory, his instinct would make him get close to her, and he might even wake up because of her arrival.
The changes in the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones are silent.
Only by observing over time can we detect some clues.
Gu Jiu was an extremely patient observer. Especially when she realized that the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones was the cemetery where he was buried, she observed the place more carefully.
She cared deeply about anything related to him.
When the remaining souls in the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones dissipated between heaven and earth, the bones on the ground began to disappear.
As if dried by the years, they slowly lost their color, cracked bit by bit, turned into dust, and dissipated between heaven and earth.
The piles of bones finally turned into an undulating stretch of white sand.
Only the crescent moon hangs upside down in the dark night sky, illuminating the space.
Suddenly one day, a passage appeared in the closed Forest of Bones.
That is the passage to the outside world.
In the ghost clan's inherited memory, the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones is an extremely dangerous place, from which there is no return.
Gu Jiu stayed in the space of the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones for fifty years, comprehending the laws of heaven and earth here, but he never found a way to leave. The entire space was closed.
Now, the closed Forest of Ten Thousand Bones has been opened.
Gu Jiu did not get lost in time and space. Instead, he awakened a god in time and space who was about to disappear between heaven and earth.
As the owner of the Ten Thousand Bone Stele Forest, Ah Ji also sensed this passage. He asked calmly, "Are you leaving?"
Gu Jiu nodded, noticing the sadness under his calm face, she stood up, looked down at him, stretched out a hand to him, and asked with a smile: "Are you willing to leave with me?"
A look of surprise appeared on Ah Ji's face.
"Actually... I, I lied to you." His voice was a little stuttering, "I really don't remember a lot of things, but I remember that I was sealed in the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones, and this is my tomb."
If he didn't wake up, he would be like the remaining souls in the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones, and eventually disappear between heaven and earth.
Gu Jiu still smiled, "I know."
Those dark eyes widened slightly, and he murmured, "You know?"
Gu Jiu sighed and stretched out his hand, "Do you want to go with me? If not, forget it..."
Before she could finish her words, the hand she was about to withdraw was tightly grabbed by a cold big hand. The man sitting there stood up suddenly, staring at her with his inky eyes.
Gu Jiu smiled again, her voice was very gentle, "I know this is the cemetery where you are buried. Although I don't know why you are sealed here, I want to take you away."
In fact, she vaguely understood why he was sealed here.
What was sealed here was the power of Lu Ji's laws as a god, which was also the most powerful part of him. If she hadn't come, and she hadn't woken him up by accident, he would have continued to sleep here until the laws of the gods merged with the heaven and earth of this space, stripping away the laws that belonged to the gods.
She didn't know whether this was a conspiracy of the main system of the Zhutian Game.
Or maybe it was the ending that was already destined for Lu Ji.
But she didn't want to!
She didn't want him to disappear, she didn't want the last god in the heavens and the world to disappear, so she wanted to pull him back, wake him up, and let him return to his status as a god.
The man said, "I will go with you."

Ghost King City.
The Ghost King who was in meditation suddenly opened his eyes.
The ghost energy in his eyes was surging endlessly, he suddenly stood up and walked out of the place where he was practicing.
The ghost general guarding outside saw him appear and asked hurriedly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The Ghost King didn't say anything. His body turned into a powerful ghost energy like smoke and galloped out of the Ghost King City. Soon he arrived in front of the barren mountain where the Ten Thousand Bones Stele Forest was located.
The ghost energy stopped and condensed into the ghost body of the Ghost King again.
The Ghost King gazed deeply at the barren mountain.
At this time, the barren mountain was completely barren, and the forest of bone tablets was no longer visible. The Ghost King released all his senses, but could no longer sense the existence of the Forest of Ten Thousand Bone Tablets, as if it had never existed.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" The accompanying ghost general couldn't help but ask.
The Ghost King stared at the barren mountain and said in a deep voice: "The Ten Thousand Bone Stele Forest has disappeared."
The ghost general was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the human race that entered the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones sixty years ago. He was suddenly shocked, "Could it be that the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones has finally left this world and entered an unknown time and space?"
The Ghost King said, “Maybe.”
Wouldn’t the human race also be lost in time and space, never to return
For a moment, the ghost generals present didn't know whether to sympathize with the human race or to be grateful. The human race had finally gained another strong man in the Void Realm, but they didn't expect that the other party would disappear together with the Ten Thousand Bone Stele Forest.

The demon clan's territory is full of mountains, forests and lakes, among which Yunshuize is the most fertile and beautiful like a dream.
Yunshuize is the demon capital of the demon race, where the demon king and the twelve major demon families sit. It is also a holy place that countless demon races yearn for. Countless powerful demon races were born in Yunshuize, and they were born with powerful demon powers. They reproduced and passed on from generation to generation.
Ming Luzhu is the heir of the vine monster clan and was born in Yunshuize.
He was born extraordinary and was named Ming Luzhu by the Demon King. He participated in two wars among six tribes and made great contributions. He was valued by the Demon King. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, he will inherit the position of the patriarch of the vine demon tribe.
After half a month of inspection, Ming Luzhu finally returned to Yunshui Lake before the Yunshui Festival.
Passing through a barrier, a rich spiritual energy hits you in the face.
As night falls, the sky is filled with stars. A river of clouds pours down from the sky, with bustling streets at both ends. Red lanterns stretch out in all directions, and the lights are reflected on the sparkling river surface.
On the brightly lit streets, demons of various shapes and forms were coming and going, and there were many small demons running around.
Looking at the familiar place, Ming Luzhu smiled.
He first went to the pastry shop he often ate at and bought a hibiscus cake and a primrose pastry. He then went to the shop next door to buy some food and slowly walked towards the cave in Yunshuize.
When she was almost at the door of her house, Ming Luzhu keenly noticed that there was a person standing there with his back to her, and he looked inexplicably familiar.
Until the other person slowly turned around and gave him a gentle smile, Ming Luzhu stood there as if struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded.
"Hey, you're back."
Gu Jiu came over and greeted him cheerfully.
Ming Luzhu's face was frozen, and it took her a while to make sure that she was not hallucinating. Her beautiful face almost couldn't hold back, and she asked in a lost voice: "Why are you here?"
"I came to look for you." Gu Jiu said with a smile, "I asked many monsters before I found your home. It turns out your home is here. It's quite impressive."
As the most promising descendant of the vine demon clan, Ming Luzhu has a high status in Yunshuize, and her cave residence is extremely luxurious.
Ming Luzhu asked subconsciously: "What do you want me to do?"
Gu Jiu didn't answer but asked: "Why don't you invite me into your house?"
Ming Luzhu stared at her for a long time and could only take her into the cave in a depressed mood.
Ming Luzhu’s cave is very big, it is a three-story house with a different world inside.
Gu Jiu followed behind him, took a casual look, and praised: "Your house looks very nice, and you live alone, not bad."
Ming Luzhu: “…” He had a bad feeling.
"Your house is so big, it's okay for one more person to live here, right?"
Ming Luzhu: =__=! As expected, a bad premonition came.
What else could he do except nod? Who made him the defeated opponent, who lost to her in the first place
Gu Jiu sat down in the flower hall, took the food Ming Luzhu bought without hesitation, picked up a piece of lotus cake and ate it, saying as he ate: "This lotus cake is good, the taste is very authentic, there should be a drop of lotus demon essence added in it."
She could taste it easily with her mouth.
Then he picked up the primrose cake, which was equally delicious and also contained the essence gained from the primrose demon's cultivation.
Among the demon tribe, what they eat is not food, but the essence obtained from the demon cultivation.
Gu Jiu finished all the food Ming Luzhu had just bought in one breath, wiped his hands slowly, and calmly picked up the tea on the table and started drinking.
Ming Luzhu looked at her and took her food like a bully, feeling a little aggrieved. "I bought this with the spirit stones I worked hard to earn for half a month."
He had been patrolling outside for half a month and had finally received his salary. He was willing to buy some delicious food to reward himself, but he was unexpectedly taken advantage of by a female bully.
Gu Jiu glanced at him and waved his hand. A ding-ding-ding sound rang out on the table, and dozens of sparkling spirit stones fell on the table.
Ming Luzhu smiled and quickly put away the spiritual stone. She said attentively, "Miss Gu, just tell me what you want to eat. I will buy it for you."
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "You demons are really stingy. Half a month's hard work fee is only worth buying a few things to eat."
Ming Luzhu felt sympathetic, "There's nothing we can do about it. Prices in Yunshuize are just that expensive."
After reminiscing about the past, Ming Luzhu asked curiously, "Where have you been all these years? Why did you suddenly come to see me?"
After Gu Jiu left the demon clan’s base, there was no news of her since then. Ming Luzhu thought she had died in the demon clan’s base, but she suddenly appeared again seventy years later.
"I've just been walking around these years." Gu Jiu said calmly, "I recently came to the demon tribe, and thought of you, my old friend, so I came to see you."
For a moment, Ming Luzhu didn't know whether to be flattered by the "friend" she mentioned or surprised by the news she revealed.
"Just walking around? Where did you walk?"
"Demons, humans, blood, ghosts..."
Ming Luzhu: “…” Is this still a monster
He looked at her in disbelief and found that the aura on her was even more unfathomable than when he was in the chaotic land. In front of her, he was like a little chick and could be picked up by her bare hands at any time.
"It seems like you've had a good life these years." His expression was complicated.
Being able to move freely among the territories of the six tribes is impossible without some skills.
Gu Jiu smiled at him and said, "I plan to stay in the demon tribe's territory for a while recently. Please give me your guidance."
Ming Luzhu welcomed her with a fake smile on her face, but she secretly pouted in her heart, always feeling that she was dependent on her.
It must be an illusion. This person is so powerful that he doesn't need to rely on any monster.
Gu Jiu then stayed at Ming Luzhu's house.
However, Ming Luzhu discovered that although they lived under the same roof, it was not easy to see Gu Jiu, because she went out every day and he also had a job. The two went out at different times and came back at different times, so they missed each other by coincidence.
It happened to be the Yunshui Festival held once every ten years in Yunshuize, and Ming Luzhu became even busier, leaving home early and returning late every day.
The Yunshui Festival is the most grand festival of the demon clan, and its name is taken from the Yunshui Lake.
The Yunshui Festival lasts for half a month. On the first day of the festival, the demon tribe begins to offer sacrifices to the Yun River in Yunshui Lake.
The Yun River runs through the entire Yunshuize. It is like a river in the sky, coming from the sky. The entire Yunshuize is built with it as the axis. The Demon King borrows the power of the Yun River to set up formations to protect all the demons in Yunshuize.
Gu Jiu walked on the busy street, holding a red candied haws in his hand, eating while walking and looking.
There were many little demons running around the street holding all kinds of food, spreading laughter along the way.
Suddenly, a few little demons accidentally bumped into her, and she fell backwards suddenly. Ming Luzhu came over with the patrol team and saw this scene. Her heart was lifted up.
Just as the little demons were about to fall to the ground, an invisible force supported them.
"Little boy, be careful."
Xiao Yao smiled sweetly, "Thank you, sister."
Seeing their cute looks, Gu Jiu gave them the remaining strings of candied haws in his hand. The little demons smiled even sweeter and skipped away.
After watching the little demon leave, Gu Jiu looked at Ming Luzhu who was walking over.
