The door opened.
Gu Linyuan stood at the door, the morning light coming from behind him.
He was wearing a loose white undershirt, the belt was not fastened, the collar was open, and there was a faint red mark left on the collarbone.
He saw two figures under Old Locust Tree.
A green dress and a black robe.
One has a gentle smile, and the other has a cold face. One is like spring, and the other is like an abyss.
The sunlight fell on him, reflecting his angular face particularly clearly. His eyes paused on the black figure for a moment, then moved to the green figure next to him, and his lips moved.
"Mom..."
His voice was a little stiff, as if he was not fully awake yet, or as if he was blocked by something.
Goddess of Life looked at him, the corners of his mouth deepened.
"Are you awake?"
Gu Linyuan nodded, his eyes involuntarily drifting towards the black figure again.
God King of Destruction is sitting on a stone chair, as tall as a black mountain.
He looked at Gu Linyuan, with no emotion in his dark eyes.
But Gu Linyuan noticed that his fingers were curling up slightly, his knuckles tightening and loosening, loosening and closing again, as if he was trying to control something.
"Father, you are here." Gu Linyuan said.
He didn't know what to say.
This is his father, knowing that he is one of the most powerful God King in the Divine Realm, a being born from chaos and living as long as heaven and earth.
But standing face to face, he found that those legends and imaginations all turned pale.
He could feel something beating in his chest, forming a strange resonance with his own heartbeat, like two mountain peaks separated by an entire continent, vibrating slightly at the same frequency.
God King of Destruction also looked at him.
"Hmm."
God King of Destruction paused, "I should have come earlier."
Gu Linyuan was silent for a while.
"It's good if you come."
He walked to his mother and got close to the black figure, so close that he could smell his breath.
It's not murderous, not coercive, but a more essential smell, like a mixture of rocks burned by fire and a bottomless underground river.
God King of Destruction moved his hand, as if he wanted to raise his hand, but stopped again.
Goddess of Life glanced at him.
"You should reach out."
God King of Destruction's brows moved.
He raised his hand, a little stiff, as if he hadn't done it for a long time.
The hand fell on Gu Linyuan's shoulder, the force was very light, but it carried an indescribable warmth.
With your palms against his shoulders, you can feel the angles of his shoulder bones and the curvature of his muscles.
God King of Destruction's palm is so big that it almost covers his entire shoulder.
"You are stronger than your mother said."
His voice was very low, as if it was being shaken directly from his chest.
God King of Destruction looked at Gu Linyuan, and there was something melting in those black eyes, like water seeping out of cracks in the ice.
The corners of his mouth moved, and the arc was very shallow.
That was the first time in God King of Destruction's million years of life that he took the initiative to laugh.
Goddess of Life looked on from the side, his green eyes curved into two crescents, and he lightly clapped his hands.
"Okay, okay, enough of the nausea. Let's get down to business."
Gu Linyuan looked at his mother, "What's the business?"
Goddess of Life nuzzled towards God King of Destruction.
"He came all the way down here not just to see you."
Gu Linyuan looked at God King of Destruction. God King of Destruction looked at him and was silent for a while.
"Your Life Domain has awakened."
"But you don't have your Destruction Domain yet."
Gu Linyuan's brows moved slightly.
"Destruction Domain!"
"God of Life and Destruction have always been one. Since you can awaken Life Domain, you will definitely be able to awaken Destruction Domain. It's just that your mother helped you activate Life Domain, and Destruction Domain needs you to do it yourself. But your cultivation is not enough to be able to awaken on your own."
"What do I need to do?"
Gu Linyuan Take a deep breath.
Actually, in a sense.
The field is higher than Martial Soul.
God King of Destruction stood up, his broad black robe dragging a long shadow in the morning light.
He walked towards the open space in the courtyard, his pace was slow and steady, and the ground shook slightly every time he stepped on the bluestone, as if the earth was making way for him.
He stood in the middle of the open space, turned around and looked at Gu Linyuan.
"Use my origin to help you open a crack, and you can fill it yourself."
Gu Linyuan walked up to him.
God King of Destruction Raise your right hand, palm facing up, and fingers spread out.
A jet-black energy surged out from his palm, like a mass of darkness compressed to the extreme. There was no light, no heat, only an extremely pure breath of Destruction that made people tremble from the depths of their souls.
Goddess of Life retreated to the courtyard wall, leaned against the wall, crossed his arms, and looked at them quietly with his green eyes.
God King of Destruction Raise your right hand, palm facing up, and fingers spread out.
A purple energy surged out from his palm, like a dark purple nebula compressed to the extreme. There was no dazzling light, no scorching temperature, only an extremely pure breath of Destruction that made everything instinctively want to avoid it.
Gu Linyuan met Power of Destruction.
This power has always been flowing in his body. From the day he awakened Martial Soul, it has been dormant in his meridians, like a sleeping dragon.
But at this moment, he felt something different.
The aura contained in that purple energy was more than ten million times thicker than the Power of Destruction in his body. It was like an undercurrent that had been condensed for hundreds of millions of years in the abyss. Once released, it could swallow up everything.
God King of Destruction looked at him, "It's begun."
Gu Linyuan nodded without hesitation.
"Father, come on."
God King of Destruction gently pressed the palm containing Origin of Destruction on Gu Linyuan's chest.
The moment the purple energy poured into the body, Gu Linyuan's body shook slightly.
He just felt a warm and cool breath, like a mountain stream, spreading along his meridians.
Wherever he passed, those Power of Destructions that had been dormant in his body all year round seemed to have heard the call, waking up from their slumber one after another, following the trajectory of the purple energy, rushing, gathering, and tumbling.
It's like a river that has been frozen for many years. When spring comes, a crack opens in the ice, and the water flows out of the crack. With the power accumulated throughout the winter, it breaks through the ice and rushes downstream.
Gu Linyuan's breathing is steady.
He didn't even frown.
He felt the Power of Destruction in his body was stirring and cheering, like a group of beasts that had been locked up for too long finally saw the cage door open.
Changes began to occur beneath his feet.
A circle of purple light spread out from the soles of his feet, which was completely different from the emerald green halo of Life Domain.
That ray of light was deep, restrained, and had an ancient coldness, like a dark purple tide going back from the end of time, spreading out silently.
Wherever the light passed, fine purple lines appeared on the bluestone slab on the ground, as if it had been soaked from the inside by some ancient power.
Destruction Domain is taking shape.
He could feel his breath changing.
The original balance between God of Life and Destruction in him was completely broken at this moment.
