He Qing couldn't explain to Su Guang what he was afraid of.
If Su Guang was just a young prince, she might, possibly, be so in love that she would find a way for herself to survive and then find a way for Su Guang to survive. But he happened to be a demon god, the one who enjoyed fighting against people and against the sky.
He Qing asked himself, he was not so righteous that he would risk his life to accompany Su Guang to the end when he knew there was a dead end ahead.
He Qing symbolically struggled for a moment, closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air, pretending to sigh: "Suguang, I just want to live, live well, I am from the Immortal Sect, I can't get entangled with you."
Suguang smiled, rubbed his cheek against Heqing's head, and whispered softly: "This is why I brought you here. The water of Santu River will wash away all your spiritual energy. From now on, you will have nothing to do with the people of Xianmen, okay?"
He Qing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Guang's smiling peach blossom eyes with shock, not knowing whether he should laugh or be angry——
This guy pretended to be weak and pitiful to coax her over, just to let her erase her cultivation and start over?
"Are you crazy?" He Qing no longer hesitated and pushed Su Guang away. He snorted in confusion, "Do you know how many years it took me to achieve this level of cultivation? This is my life-saving ability. Do you think I would wash it away for you?"
Su Guang seemed to have anticipated her reaction. He leisurely lifted his hair behind his chest and said slowly, "I will teach you a new technique and share my cultivation with you. From now on, you don't have to worry about the pain of heavenly tribulation when you break through the realm. Why not?"
Hearing Su Guang saying that he would share his cultivation with him, He Qing was stunned again and blurted out, "How much do you want to share?" After saying that, he realized that his Tao heart was too unsteady, and quickly added, "I won't agree to it no matter how much!"
Su Guang held his forehead and laughed softly, "You are always so interesting, that's why I want you to accompany me..."
He Qing also felt a little embarrassed and said unhappily: "Why should I accompany you? Are you courting death? If you had told Shi Tianxiao and others about your identity as a demon god earlier, many of your crises would have been resolved."
Su Guang seemed to be tired of laughing, and he took a long breath and asked, "Tell them, so that they can worship me, burn incense and pray day and night, and ask for the gods' will?"
"…"
Su Guang chuckled to himself, put his hands behind his back, and said quietly: "The birth of the ancient gods was for order and rules. However, beyond order and rules, there is also human nature and emotions, so, I was born."
The eleven ancient gods each have their own duties. They have no mortal thoughts and naturally no emotions, but Su Guang is the exception.
He listens to prayers and considers cause and effect. He is a concrete manifestation of the existence of "God" and "Heavenly Way", which makes all living beings fear, respect and follow him.
If He Qing explained it roughly, it would be that Su Guang gave candy to some people, beat some people with sticks, and then made everyone believe in the cycle of nature. The purpose was to make everyone abide by the order and rules set by heaven.
What Su Guang had to do determined that he would not be able to be as selfless as the other ancient gods. He needed to understand the human heart in order to better understand cause and effect. It was precisely because he understood the human heart that when Heaven took back his godhood, he became the only ancient god who rebelled against Heaven, refused to return the divine power, and then died obediently.
This was a past event that He Qing had never known about, and it was even a secret that was not touched upon in the "script". For a moment, he didn't know how to react.
"Every day I overlook the world, the warmth and coldness of human nature, judge the balance, and distinguish right from wrong. I have lived this kind of life for tens of thousands of years." Su Guang raised a sarcastic smile and said, but his eyes were as dark as a dry well without a ripple.
He Qing understood. Su Guang was tired of living a life that was full of the attributes of a tool god day after day. Even if his consciousness was awakened, he was unwilling to be placed on such a high pedestal as a god. It seemed that they were worshipping him, but in fact, all their hopes and expectations were placed on him.
Not to mention that he now lacks divine power. Even if the power remained the same, he would be bored, annoyed, and bored.
Therefore, everything in this world is not important to him at all. The future of immortals and demons, and the destination of all living beings, have nothing to do with him. He no longer talks about rules, no longer cares about order, and everything he does is based on his personal likes and dislikes.
He Qing involuntarily walked closer and asked hesitantly: "Then, you said you wanted me to accompany you..."
Su Guang said: "You are the only person I have ever met who does not believe in ghosts and gods, does not ask the heavens, has no faith, and has no spiritual support."
He Qing listened to this comment, which was not sure whether it was a compliment or criticism, and his eyebrows twitched: "Ah?"
Su Guang turned around, looking very relaxed, and said in a gentle voice: "You make me feel very relaxed."
"…"
Makes me feel, relaxed?
Relax?
He Qing pondered over this sentence carefully, and suddenly became a little angry——
Could it be that this guy sticks with her because he feels relaxed being with her?
Then, what did that kiss mean?
He Qing almost asked, but she held it back, as if once she asked, she would lose, and her relationship with Su Guang would no longer be equal...
Su Guang extended his hand to He Qing again, smiling seductively and alluringly, "Come on, Master?"
He Qing lowered his head and remained motionless for a long time before he looked at the person opposite him and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Suguang, if one day you find that I am no longer interesting, and like those people, you regard you as a piece of driftwood and spiritual support, will you still want me to accompany you?"
Su Guang frowned slightly, as if he felt uncomfortable just thinking about it, and even looked a little confused.
He Qing's eyes darkened when he saw this, and he couldn't help but pull the corners of his lips and shook his head: "I know your answer."
He Qing took a deep breath and said decisively: "Now I'll tell you my answer - I refuse."
Su Guang's expression turned cold, but he still maintained his innate elegance that appeared indifferent because of his contempt: "Did I not explain it clearly enough?"
"No, you made it very clear." He Qing said, "You hope to have someone who is as strong and independent as you, to share your willfulness and your carefreeness, and to enjoy the fun of fighting against the sky with you. The 'accompany' you mentioned is just 'accompany', nothing more."
Su Guang folded his arms and nodded, tilting his head in confusion: "So?"
"As for me," He Qing smiled brightly, which was rare for him, "I am actually a person with weak willpower and not strong enough mentally. The reason why you find me interesting is only because I am not in love with you."
"…"
"I wouldn't be like this to my sweetheart."
