Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

”Five hundred thousand years! A full five hundred thousand years of sitting in isolation and suffering! Countless life-and-death battles! I’ve given up everything and finally got it!”

”Hahahaha...”

The laughter echoed in the Immortal Palace but stopped abruptly.

The surrounding scene had changed at some point. Gu Feng blinked, and the ecstasy of obtaining the Legacy just now vanished without a trace. The memories of the five-hundred-thousand-year illusion also seemed as if they had never existed.

He looked opposite him and saw Yun Shang covering her red lips, tears falling uncontrollably, her voice trembling with despair.

”Gu Feng, let’s get a divorce.”

After saying that, she turned and fled from the place.

The look in Gu Feng’s eyes when he killed her in the illusion was too decisive, without any hesitation; she really could not accept it.

”Yun Shang, listen to me!”

Gu Feng didn’t have time to question Cao Bu for playing tricks and hurriedly chased after her.

Everyone in the hall looked back and continued to watch the other light screen.

The battle between Chu Hao and Gu Yin had also reached its end.

Emperor Xuan stared closely at the light screen, praying in his heart.

Whether it would succeed or not depended on this final moment.

Inside the Immortal Palace.

Gu Yin fell into Chu Hao’s arms, her breath weak. Blood stained her clothes, her body gradually turning cold, and her life was rapidly fading away.

”Chu Hao.” She raised her hand and gently caressed his cheek, tears in her eyes and a bitter smile: ”Five hundred thousand years is truly long, so long that I almost forgot what we were like at the beginning.”

Chu Hao held her tightly, unable to say a word.

The temperature of the person in his arms was disappearing bit by bit, stinging his heart every second.

The memories of the five-hundred-thousand-year illusion flooded his mind. Those times spent together and the promises made now turned into sharp pain, making him unable to breathe.

Gu Yin’s voice became lighter and lighter, as thin as silk:

”I thought time could change everything.”

”It could let you see clearly what is most important.”

”Unfortunately, I was wrong.”

She coughed violently, blood overflowing from the corners of her mouth: ”In the end... your choice... was still Immortal Ascension.”

Chu Hao wanted to explain, but found all words were pale and powerless.

The sword that stabbed her had already fallen, and the outcome was already determined.

Finally, his lips trembled as he spat out three words: ”I am sorry.”

Gu Yin’s gaze gradually blurred, but she still stared at Chu Hao, asking with her last bit of strength: ”Chu Hao, if there is a next life, will you choose Immortal Ascension... or me?”

Chu Hao opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only remain silent.

His five-hundred-thousand-year obsession with Immortal Ascension made him unable to give any answer.

Seeing his silent appearance, a self-mocking smile appeared on the corners of Gu Yin’s lips, and tears fell: ”I understand.”

Her hand dropped completely, the last trace of life dissipated, and her eyes lost their luster.

The next moment.

The surrounding scenery began to fluctuate violently.

Amidst the changing light and shadow, Chu Hao found himself standing in the Tianyuan Hall.

Gu Yin stood not far away, her back to him, turning her face away, unwilling to meet his gaze.

There were still tear marks at the corners of her eyes, and her shoulders trembled slightly. Clearly, she had not yet recovered from the ending of the illusion.

Chu Hao stared blankly at his hands, as if the warmth and touch of Gu Yin’s body still remained in his palms.

The memories of the five-hundred-thousand-year illusion surged in his mind and then slowly receded, leaving only endless pain and confusion.

Emperor Xuan looked at all this and sighed helplessly.

Cao Bu smiled slightly, turned to Gu Yin, and said gently: ”Little Sister Yin, the trial is over.”

”According to the rules agreed upon beforehand, the Gu Clan, which I represent, will not agree to your marriage to Chu Hao.”

He changed his tone, his voice carrying a bit of tolerance: ”Of course, if you still love Chu Hao, you can say it now.”

”We won’t really stop you from pursuing true love.”

Gu Yin glanced at Chu Hao, her eyes filled with despair.

Without any hesitation, she said softly: ”It is all up to Big Brother.”
