"Guhan, why don't we make a deal?"
Seeing that Guhan was stuck in a stalemate, Tongtian Black Tortoise took a deep breath and said, "It's impossible to fulfill these three conditions with your life alone. Why don't you change the first condition so that you can fulfill your contract?"
"How do I change it?" Guhan asked faintly.
"How about you banish me for eternity?"
Tongtian Black Tortoise gritted his teeth and said, "Just like how I banished Kenzu in the past, you can banish me for eternity in a dimensional space, never to step into the Origin World.
This way, you can achieve your goal. I will no longer be able to cause any interference in the Origin World, nor will I be able to do anything. This way, you can realize your dream without paying too much of a price. You can even save your life. You only need to pay the price of the Sage Realm. What do you think? "
"This does sound like a good idea!"
Guhan nodded thoughtfully. Tongtian Black Tortoise's face was also filled with joy. Finally, he could not die.
"But I refuse!" In the next second, Tongtian Black Tortoise fell into despair.
"Why?
I'm already banishing myself, why do you still refuse me! "Tongtian Black Tortoise shouted.
"I don't like you, can I?"
Guhan said faintly. Tongtian Black Tortoise was so angry that he started to vomit blood again. Tongtian Black Tortoise didn't even know how to refute such a reason.
"No, thank you for your reminder. I know how to change it!" Guhan's next words made Tongtian Black Tortoise's heart jump to his throat again.
"What new price did Guhan think of this time?
What price does he have to pay? "
Heavenly Black Tortoise pondered curiously. She thought that Guhan had found a new price, but in the end, Guhan took out a new piece of paper. But this time, Guhan didn't write three conditions, but only two. The condition that her Swordmistress would be free forever was not written by Guhan again.
"So you gave up on one of the conditions. But don't even think about it. Unless you remove the second condition, this contract will not be valid!" Tongtian Black Tortoise knew that no matter what he did, Guhan would not let him go.
He no longer put on an act and began to ridicule Ye Zichen again.
Forget it, Heavenspan Black Tortoise had also thought it through.
Since Guhan was willing to exchange his life for hers, then it was not a bad deal to exchange a life for a life. However, this Guhan would not be able to fulfill the other conditions. His beloved daughter would also die with him forever, and no one would be able to live.
Guhan's Swordmistress would also not be able to obtain eternal freedom!
Just as Heavenspan Black Tortoise was shouting in his heart, Guhan began to write down the price he had to pay on the contract. But what made Heavenspan Black Tortoise's eyes widen was that Guhan did not stop after writing down the first price. Instead, he began to write down the second price.
"This guy really thought of a new price!!!"
Heavenspan Black Tortoise was shocked. His eyes were glued to the tip of Guhan's pen. He was curious to know what other price Guhan could think of that was comparable to his life.
"All of Swordmistress Qingpin, Swordmistress Shishui, Swordmistress Yitian, Swordmistress Douyu, Swordmistress Qidian, Swordmistress Juzi, Swordmistress Slayer, Swordmistress Juxian, Swordmistress Victory Sword, Swordmistress Slayer, Swordmistress Xuanyuan, and Swordmistress Trapping Immortal.
I abandon them forever, and sever my Swordmistress form. I give up my body as a sword, and will never be able to fight for humans again. "
Guhan wrote down the conditions on the price. But why did the price look so familiar?
"There's … there's actually such a thing …" Heavenspan Black Tortoise was completely stunned. This Guhan wasn't paying a new price. He was just adding the second condition that he had just deleted into the price.
Although these two sentences were written in different words, if one were to carefully study the meaning, one would find that these two sentences were actually exactly the same.
However, the former was Guhan's wish that his Swordmistresses would never be enslaved by others, and could obtain true freedom.
The latter was Guhan's willingness to give up his Swordmistresses forever. At the same time, he also gave up their sword forms, so that they could never become Swordmistresses of other humans.
Damn it, it sounded like the former was about obtaining something, and the latter was about giving up something, but in fact, it was the same. These Swordmistresses would forever live as humans in the future, and they could also obtain eternal freedom.
China's civilization was just that broad and profound. Just a few words changed the meaning completely.
The benefits that he obtained suddenly became the price that he had to pay. This was simply too ingenious!
"You won't succeed … You're lying … You're lying to the World Brush … You won't succeed … The World Brush will definitely see through your deception!"
Heavenspan Black Tortoise screamed. Right now, he could only hope that the World Brush had enough intelligence to see through Guhan's word games.
Unfortunately, the World Brush was only a rigid scale. When the weight was shifted from one end of the scale to the other, the scale's position couldn't be avoided.
Therefore, this time, Guhan wasn't obstructed at all. He easily signed his name on the contract.
The contract was established!!!
Following the establishment of the contract, the first thing that changed was the puddle of black water on the ground. A light blue flower suddenly grew out of the puddle of black water, and it grew at an extremely fast speed. Soon, it grew bigger and bigger until it became a huge flower the size of a table.
When the flower grew to its largest size, the entire flower uncontrollably bloomed. A naked girl curled up in the flower like a beautiful stamen, quietly sleeping there, as if waiting for the prince to kiss her awake.
This was naturally Artoria who had been reborn.
At the same time, the 12 Swordmistresses that were stabbed into Heavenspan Black Tortoise's body flew out of his body. They transformed into their respective Swordmistresses in the air and landed on the ground.
"I can't go back … I really can't change back … Wah …" Yi Tian burst into tears. She tried her best to transform back into her sword form, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't transform back into the Heavenspan Sword.
"Sword mark! My sword mark is gone! I can't feel Master anymore!
Master … Master … "Juzi suddenly threw herself into Guhan's arms in a panic. The sword mark that had existed in her body for an unknown amount of time had disappeared without a trace. She desperately threw herself into Guhan's arms, trying to feel Guhan's Purple Palace and Guhan's temperature … But at that moment … she realized that Guhan's body temperature was gradually disappearing. He seemed to have lost all his strength as he weakly fell to the ground, looking at her with hazy eyes.
"You … Everyone … Can I still … look at you all?"
Guhan said weakly to all his Swordmistresses. The 12 Swordmistresses immediately surrounded Guhan. Qingpin lay in Guhan's arms, where the Infant Pouch was previously.
Shishui looked at Guhan quietly. There was no joy or sorrow in her eyes, but tears had already covered her entire face.
Yi Tian held onto Guhan's hand, unwilling to let go.
Douyu had already cried so much that she didn't even look human. She kept shouting, "Big brother … Big brother … Don't go … Big brother!!"
Qidian was silent. She couldn't even cry anymore. She looked like a dead person.
On the other hand, Ju Zi pressed her face against her frigid Purple Palace. She was still looking for the sword mark that belonged to her.
Zhu Xian placed Guhan's head on his thigh.
Juexian, the Swordmistress with the most fiery temper, had lost the courage to even look at Guhan.
Lu Xian and Trapping Xian quietly tidied up Guhan's clothes.
Victory Sword sat there in a daze.
Xuanyuan kissed Guhan's lips without caring about anything else. She murmured, "How can you die … I still have enough kisses … I still haven't practiced the Japanese Forty-two Styles on you … How can you die?"
"It's great to be able to meet all of you … I definitely won't forget all of you … I definitely won't!!"
Gu Han looked like he was looking at the sword maidens of all his true loves. Finally, he hugged the poor girl in his arms tightly, and the last trace of spiritual energy was completely severed.
"Father!
Father!
Your daughter is unfilial … your daughter is unfilial … it is your daughter who harmed you, it is your daughter who harmed you … Father, please see your daughter one more time … I beg you, please see your daughter one more time! "At the very end, it was Gu Xuanwu's sorrowful cries.
Guhan, our main character, was dead.
