"I'm sorry..."
Su Ling looked at the maiden before him, whispering to himself in his heart.
The Silver-haired Maiden stood holding her spear, her indescribably stunning face currently veiled in a layer of icy frost.
"Why did you kill me on our wedding night?"
Gu Yuena's cold words carried endless killing intent. The Silver Dragon Spear pointed directly at Su Ling's throat, its tip flickering with a dangerous and brilliant seven-colored halo.
She never expected that the man who had saved her when she was severely wounded and dying, the man with whom she had spent countless beautiful moments, would strike her down on their wedding night.
That night, he had pierced her heart with a single sword strike.
As she collapsed in a pool of blood, she could only watch helplessly as this man flayed her skin and stripped her bones, stealing her Silver Dragon Bloodline.
Regrettably, he likely never imagined that she had left an avatar in the mortal realm, allowing her to live once more.
Space, darkness, light, water, fire, wind, and earth—seven types of elemental energy intertwined at the spear's tip, forming a lethal elemental vortex.
Su Ling could feel that destructive power; if Gu Yuena applied even the slightest bit of force, his life would vanish in an instant.
Yet, his face remained expressionless. He spoke coldly, "Do it! The winner takes all. I have nothing to say to a heartless beast like you."
"Heh... I am heartless?" Gu Yuena was almost driven to laughter, a trace of blood-red tint appearing in her Purple Eyes.
"I am heartless... but are you any different?"
"Shengyan, do you know how much pain I felt when your sword pierced my heart?"
"Do you know how much my heart ached when I could only watch helplessly as you cruelly slaughtered Di Tian, Bi Ji, and all the other Soul Beasts?"
Her voice rose sharply, tears swirling in her eyes, yet she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"All these years, I kept fantasizing that you had some hidden motive, hoping you would come to find me and explain..."
"But all I received in return was your ruthless pursuit. Shengyan! Are you even human? How could your heart be so cruel?"
Gu Yuena stared intently into Su Ling's bottomless black eyes, attempting to find a trace of regret or hesitation.
However, those eyes remained as cold as a frozen pool, and the opponent's sword had already quietly left its sheath, thrusting fiercely toward her.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena's heart died completely.
She abruptly closed her eyes, refusing to think any further.
Carrying the supreme God-King's Might and an elemental storm, the Silver Dragon Spear pierced into the opponent's chest...
When Su Ling woke up in the middle of the night, he was drenched in cold sweat.
The look of despair in Gu Yuena's eyes from his Previous Life had almost become his Inner Demon.
He sat up abruptly, gasping for air, his mind replaying her final, heart-wrenching question: "How could your heart be so cruel?"
"Host, do you need to suppress the memories of your Previous Life?"
"In your current state, it will likely be difficult to complete the upcoming tasks."
The system's voice echoed in his mind, carrying a hint of mechanical concern.
Su Ling subconsciously touched his chest—the spot where a bloody hole should have been was currently completely intact.
"No, keep them," he said, his voice terrifyingly hoarse. "This is what I owe her."
Rumble! As a piercing thunderclap tore through the night sky, a torrential downpour began outside the window.
The memories of Su Ling's current life also began to clarify in his mind.
Su Ling, a Transmigrator, was born into the Su Family, one of the seven great Soul Master families of the Heaven Dou Empire.
His grandfather was not only a 97th-level Titled Douluo but also the King Zhenyuan of the Heaven Dou Empire, holding great military power.
His father had also been a peerless genius in his youth; according to him, he had once fought the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong, to a draw.
His mother, meanwhile, hailed from the Ye Family, which possessed the Nine Star Begonia Spirit.
In this life, he could basically be said to have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
However, fate always seemed to be playing jokes on him.
Su Ling slowly opened his palm, where a green flame burned faintly, reflecting his volatile expression.
He had not awakened the Deathly Still Flame Spirit passed down through his family for generations.
Instead, due to a spirit mutation, his flame possessed neither the terrifying destructive power of the Deathly Still Flame nor the healing capabilities of a Life Element Spirit.
His innate Soul Power of level 3 had practically nailed him to the pillar of shame as a waste.
But fortunately, he had bound himself to the Reincarnation Simulation System, possessing the ability to travel to another timeline.
As long as he played his role well according to the prescribed fate, he could obtain rewards to increase his strength.
He could even eventually obtain the godhood of the Time Master and return to the real world.
It was just that he hadn't expected that in every life, he would be an inhuman villain, and his deaths would all be incredibly miserable.
As a villain in the plot, he not only had to feign affection for the Heroine in the early stages and help them overcome their difficulties.
To end up as a stepping stone to be finished off, just so they could reach the pinnacle of their lives.
The endings were either having my limbs hacked off to become a Human Hog, or being sliced into thousands of pieces by death by a thousand cuts.
In the most miserable instance, I was even dug up after death and eaten bite by bite.
As for who that pervert was, he wouldn't name names.
"Right, what happened after I died in my Previous Life?" Su Ling suddenly asked.
The system responded: "After your death, Gu Yuena used the Authority of Life Godhood granted by the Goddess of Life to resurrect Di Tian, Bi Ji, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, and all the other subordinates you had killed."
"At the same time, after rescuing the Golden Dragon King, she bestowed your Godhood of Destruction upon him. She also reached an agreement with the remaining Three Great God Kings of the God Realm, allowing Soul Beasts to re-enter the God Realm."
"The Soul Beast clan and humanity, having gone through that war, realized the importance of peace and chose to coexist."
"Heh... sounds like a pretty good happy ending."
Su Ling laughed at himself, though when he heard the news that Di Tian and the other Soul Beasts had been resurrected, a Cold Light flashed clearly through his eyes, only to vanish just as quickly.
"However, I'm not sure if it was an operational error, but when Gu Yuena performed the mass resurrection, she accidentally resurrected your parents and Grandfather as well." The system's voice suddenly turned somewhat strange.
Su Ling froze for a moment, then remained silent for a long while before continuing to ask: "Tell me about the mission settlement and the rewards."
"Gu Yuena committed suicide..." The system's words exploded in Su Ling's mind like a thunderclap.
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain at all.
"What did you say?" His voice trembled uncontrollably, as if all the blood in his body had frozen at that very moment.
"Three years after your death, once Gu Yuena had arranged the affairs of the God Realm and the Douluo Continent, she went to the Life Lake in the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, where you once met..."
"She buried herself alongside your remains at the Lake Bottom and took her own life. Her Dragon Soul Obsession refused to dissipate even after wandering for tens of thousands of years."
The system's mechanical voice sounded exceptionally cold at this moment: "The only last words she left behind were: 'Shengyan, may we never meet again in our next life...'"
