Heaven unfolds forty-nine, and one escapes (2/3)

"Although this unformed Primordial Spirit turned me half-mad, I also benefited from it, gaining unprecedented clarity."

"Especially now, I finally know what I want, and I know what the right choice is."

A smile returned to Yin Fei's face, and he spoke very seriously to Li Boyang.

"Release the Flower Mantis, and you can do whatever you want with it."

"Even if you want to know the truth about the death of the Witch of the Huai River, I can tell you every single detail without missing a single one."

Upon hearing Yin Fei's words, before Li Boyang could react, Wu Yi unconsciously narrowed his eyes.

"A Guhuo Bird, known for its immortality, actually chose to commit suicide?"

Yes, in Wu Yi's eyes, Yin Fei is clearly using Ji Boyang to commit suicide.

Upon realizing this, Wu Yi's expression became even more complicated.

Using "suicide" as an analogy isn't entirely accurate.

"I just feel that dying at the hands of this Celestial Person would be the best outcome for me."

Yin Fei, who had spent his entire life pursuing beautiful things, said this without changing his expression.

"Besides, don't you think it's a perfect ending for someone as ruthless as me to die saving others?"

I simply cannot understand Yin Fei's insane ideas.

Wu Yi was speechless for a moment, caught off guard by the other party's words, and didn't know what to say.

On the contrary, Li Boyang, after glancing warily at the Flower Mantis at his feet, vaguely guessed why Yin Fei did this.

Yin Fei is now able to suppress the instincts that come from the Guhuo Bird.

But even she herself didn't know how long this restraint could last.

Like a madwoman who, after a brief moment of lucidity, is certainly unable to accept that she has fallen into madness again.

Especially after "picking up" Flower Mantis.

Yin Fei's rationality kept telling her that if she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Wu Yi and the others...

Therefore, choosing death while one is still conscious is the best decision.

However, stemming from the same pursuit of "immortality" as the Guhuo Bird, Yin Fei would never commit suicide.

Therefore, under reasonable circumstances, using someone else's hand to die became Yin Fei's final choice as a "Night-Wandering Woman".

When Li Boyang realized this...

When he looked again at the glimmer of light behind the Guhuo Bird, a hint of something unusual appeared in his eyes.

Even death is not a choice we can freely make?

"The Guhuo Bird is truly terrifying!"

Behind Yin Fei, the alluring woman and the black bird were still tearing at each other and fighting, symbolizing her inner struggle and resistance.

Most importantly, the two are also transforming into each other.

Sometimes the alluring woman transforms into a ferocious black bird, and sometimes the ferocious black bird transforms into an alluring woman.

The only constant is that this struggle between spirit, mind, and even personality will continue until Yin Fei completely collapses.

A moment later, on the altar of Ghost God Cliff.

"So, you just killed that Guhuo Bird like that? And in front of her adopted son?"

Looking at Li Boyang, whose Primordial Spirit had returned to his body, Xiluo made no attempt to hide her disbelief.

"What else? Let the tiger return to the mountain?"

Li Boyang rolled his eyes at Xiluo and asked her in an annoyed tone.

"Leaving aside what Yin Fei has done, killing her ten thousand times over wouldn't be too much."

"Just a mentally unstable madman."

"I dare to bring her back, but do you dare to lock her up here on Flying Peak?"

Upon hearing this, Xiluo immediately offered a guilty rebuttal.

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that she was a Heavenly Deity, after all, and her death was far too hasty."

Think about all the Heavenly Deity that Li Boyang and Xiluo had encountered before; which one of them didn't die in a spectacular way?

In comparison, Yin Fei's death was far too childish, completely unbecoming of a Heavenly Deity's status and position.

"Then let me tell you, I fought that Guhuo Bird for eight hundred rounds—"

"She ultimately managed to kill him by a single move; doesn't that fit her identity?"

Xiluo gently licked her paw and hesitated slightly.

"There's no need for that."

"I just think she might be trying to fake her death to escape and completely get rid of the identity of the Guhuo Bird?"

Thinking carefully about Yin Fei's various actions, it's quite reasonable to say that she wanted to fake her death to escape.

However, Li Boyang refuted Xiluo's guess with a single sentence.

"That's impossible. If she could shed her Guhuo Bird identity, she wouldn't have waited until now."

"I even have a feeling that Yin Fei's suicide was not simply a matter of seeking self-liberation."

"Given her self-destructive tendencies, if you were to tell me that Yin Fei intends to drag the other Guhuo Bird down with her, I would think that would be truly reasonable."

As soon as he said it, Li Boyang suddenly stopped.

What came to mind?

Noticing Li Boyang's stunned expression, Xiluo immediately realized that he must have guessed something.

As Xiluo had expected, Li Boyang directly took out the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron and tossed it aside, a look of sudden realization immediately appearing on his face.

"That Yin Fei really wanted to drag all the Guhuo Bird down with her; that's suicide."

With a strange expression, Li Boyang continued to tossing the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron. After a while, he continued speaking.

"She seems to think I have a way to kill all the Guhuo Bird?"

"Wait, is she mistaken about something?"

"Wait, this divination result is wrong?"

"Why have I suddenly become the source of this catastrophe?"

"This catastrophe shouldn't have been—"

The sound stopped again. Li Boyang looked at the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron spinning rapidly at his fingertips and felt for the first time that he had miscalculated.

"I think I roughly know what's going on."

Almost as soon as Li Boyang uttered those words, Xiluo's Primordial Spirit also received a warning signal.

And this time the warning signs were stronger than ever before.

The intensity was so strong that Xiluo couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.

"Has this catastrophe become even more terrifying?"

Looking at Li Boyang with a startled expression, Xiluo asked in a low voice, her teeth chattering.

"The great calamity is evolving into a catastrophe, a catastrophe that will affect all the gods."

Li Boyang nodded heavily. He had calculated things more clearly than Xiluo, and therefore he understood the horror of the matter even more clearly.

"And the death of that Guhuo Bird was the beginning of all these changes."

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one has been omitted."

Is this the meaning of the existence of "variables"?

"In the end, man proposes, God disposes!"
