Above all spirits

Chapter 374 Join forces

"In the world where I died, Bai Qing'er and I were both on the front lines fighting against the Void Beasts. We met and fell in love because of this, but in the end I still couldn't save her."

"It's all that damned Void Queen's fault."

"She is just too... terrifying."

"Even if countless living beings joined forces, they would not be a match for her."

Chen Yuan paused, his eyes filled with endless regret, as if he had returned to that lost time.

Gu Yun and Xiao Li remained silent at this moment.

Because every word Chen Yuan said sounded so heavy and sorrowful to them, who were still living in a sheltered environment.

Xiao Li, in particular, couldn't imagine how despairing it would be if what Chen Yuan said were things that would inevitably happen in the future.

A monster race whose most worthless members can possess the power of twisted rules.

how to spell?

It's said that turning evil makes one stronger, so the power of distorted rules should be even more domineering.

Chen Yuan continued.

"later."

"At the moment I died in battle, a thought in my mind grew wildly."

“I long for rebirth, I long to protect her, I long to turn this absurd world around.”

"After that, something happened that I couldn't believe either."

"As you can see, I have been reborn."

Chen Yuan was full of genuine emotion at this moment, which prevented Gu Yun and Xiao Li from noticing the slight falsehood mixed in with his feelings.

Gu Yun is not God. Given that Xiao Li's system cannot provide information, it is already the limit for Gu Yun to deduce that Chen Yuan may be a reborn person. How could he possibly know that Chen Yuan possesses such a chaotic spiritual treasure?

Reincarnation Jade.

Gu Yun's feelings were equally complicated.

He hadn't expected the situation to become so dire.

Their hostility towards Chen Yuan has also decreased considerably.

If we cannot completely extract all of Chen Yuan's memories, cooperating with him is a good option.

"about how long?"

"After a long time, the barrier between the upper and lower realms began to crumble."

The deliberate pressure emanating from Gu Yun was slowly withdrawn, and Chen Yuan felt as if his body, which had been shackled, had been suddenly liberated. He replied with a sigh of relief.

Having learned some of the inside story, Gu Yun would certainly not easily make a move against Chen Yuan.

Providing some future intelligence is Chen Yuan's only means of self-preservation at this moment.

"If we follow the course of our past lives, we only have a hundred years left."

Gu Yun murmured the words "a hundred years".

One hundred years may seem like a long time, from Earth's perspective, but since my life status has been elevated, one hundred years has become quite a long time.

Considering the lifespan of demons, even though Gu Yun consumed some of his lifespan using the Book of Reversal of Fate, it still took him several thousand years. A hundred years is far too short.

Not to mention that he himself still needs to go to the upper realm. Chen Yuan must be referring to a hundred years in the lower realm, so for the upper realm, this time is even shorter.

Thinking of this, Gu Yun couldn't help but ask another question.

"Now that the barrier between the upper and lower realms has disappeared, will the flow of time in the upper and lower realms tend to overlap?"

Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Gu Yun to ask this.

He didn't seem to pay much attention to this.

"I think so... After the world's rules collapsed, the upper and lower realms were connected. I've been to the so-called upper realm, and there wasn't any time difference."

Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't want to be watched and chased by a god-king immediately.

"What are your plans now?"

"Based on what you've said, I think we can cooperate. What do you think?"

"As I just said, we each have our own unique circumstances. You are a reborn person and possess a great deal of information about the future."

"You've seen his methods. He has the ability to know almost everything, but this ability is limited. Otherwise, I wouldn't need to ask you these questions. But he told me all your basic information."

"As for the reason for this restriction, I can't tell you for now. After all, we've only just started our cooperation, and you probably have a lot on your mind."

"but me."

"how to say."

“Strictly speaking, I am actually quite different from you. You seem to be people born to face this calamity. After learning about your situation, I am even more certain of this idea. The power of rebirth must involve a huge world cause and effect, and may be a kind of self-protection mechanism for this collapsing world in the future.”

"but I..."

"All you need to know is that I have the special ability to travel freely to the upper realms and even to the other side."

Gu Yun spoke vaguely, yet he managed to briefly encompass their respective super-rule powers. After all, Gu Yun hadn't spent much time with Chen Yuan, and people's hearts are treacherous, especially those who know about the future.

Chen Yuan, a man who has experienced life and death and has extremely rich experience, is someone that Gu Yun cannot see through in a short time. How could he be as easy to control as Xiao Li and Ji Ning?

Chen Yuan's pupils contracted slightly. In fact, every pseudo-innate could go to the upper realm. Going to the upper realm and then returning to it was troublesome, but not impossible. What shocked Chen Yuan was Gu Yun's mention of going to the other shore.

"Demon Lord, are you referring to the journey to the other shore as a journey for the soul...?"

Gu Yun shook his head.

"I can travel to the other side in my true form."

After all, it's a collaboration, so it's not good to keep all the details to yourself.

As for whether Chen Yuan would spread the word, Gu Yun felt that no one was that stupid. In terms of influence, Gu Yun was many times more influential than Chen Yuan.

Is it more shocking to hear the mere rumor that Gu Yun, a powerful being, can reach the other side? Or is it more shocking for Gu Yun to personally declare that Chen Yuan is a person reborn in the future?

After receiving Gu Yun's confirmation, Chen Yuan became excited, but remained silent.

Gu Yun frowned and asked.

"what happened?"

Chen Yuan remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, as if he had made up his mind.

"I agree to cooperate with you."

"Demon Lord, before I tell you, could you please grant me permission to remain in the Shadow Organization, while also giving me some freedom and allowing me to see Bai Qing'er?"

Gu Yun shrugged and said.

"Whether you stay in the Shadow Organization is your right. As for freedom, every member of the Shadow Organization is free. I created the Shadow Organization mainly to provide food for these people. As for other purposes, they are not needed for the time being."

"Bai Qing'er's words are fine, of course, but I hope you will watch your words and actions. You are a reborn person, but Bai Qing'er is not. To be frank, you are an old man, while she is only nine years old."

Chen Yuan twitched his lips, naturally knowing what Gu Yun wanted to express.

"I will obey the Demon Lord's instructions."

"In later generations, the barriers between the worlds dissipated, and the other side, which was originally between the two worlds, was naturally affected to some extent, and some border crossings appeared. However, no living being ever dared to go to the other side, because those who went there never returned."

"It can be said that living beings are forbidden from entering, and even virtual beasts and machines will avoid these places."
