Chapter 85: The Truth of Return to Void
Dream-Making Expert
“Heh heh, do I really look that easy to fool?”
Gushe did not believe him, certain that Lin Qi was lying to her.
Lin Qi said lightly, “She predicted my prediction, so she has an avatar projection reflected within the Dream Bubble Shadow. Over this past year, I spoke with her several times.”
“She even showed me her memories of eight lifetimes.”
“The memories of her eight reincarnations.”
Gushe froze on the spot. She stared blankly at Lin Qi, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
“I have never been one to trust others easily.”
“So for this past year, I have hoped you would cooperate with me, let me enter your dream, and obtain from you evidence to corroborate everything.”
“But you resisted, you guarded yourself, you did not dare let me learn the truth you know.”
“So in my heart, I already had my answer.”
“Lin Qi, don’t believe her!”
Gushe grew anxious and shouted hurriedly, “Women are all liars. The prettier the woman, the more she lies. She is deceiving you. She just wants to trick you back to the Immortal Continent Star.”
“Trick me into what?”
Lin Qi asked in return.
“She tricks you back, and then she can seize your body!”
Gushe blurted out without thinking.
But Lin Qi only smiled, gazing at Gushe, and said each word with deliberate weight, “Gushe, someone who has been a god — would they still want to be human?”
Gushe immediately tore off the black cloth before her eyes. At some point, her eyes had turned a pure, golden yellow, like those of a deity.
She glared furiously at Lin Qi, gnashing her teeth. “Lin Qi, I struggled so hard to escape. I absolutely will not allow you to go back!”
“You want to fight me?”
Lin Qi’s eyes gleamed coldly. “The kind where neither backs down until death?”
Gushe nodded coldly, without a shred of hesitation. “The kind where one of us dies!”
Lin Qi did not grow angry, but laughed instead, his tone calm. “But you cannot beat me.”
Gushe flew into a rage. “Lin Qi, don’t you look down on people! Even if my true body is in your hands right now, even if I have reincarnated as a human, I am an Innate Deity. I can still defy the heavens and slay human prodigies like you.”
Lin Qi watched the raging Gushe quietly, and repeated once more, “You cannot beat me.”
“Insolence! Lowly mortal, to dare profane a god again and again, I curse you…”
Gushe roared furiously. Lin Qi’s eyes glared.
The curse was swallowed back by Gushe. In the blink of an eye, her expression changed, and she wore a charming smile. “Lin Qi, look — was I convincing just now?”
“So the difference between gods and humans lies only in being fickle in mood?”
Lin Qi watched Gushe expressionlessly.
“No
— that’s exactly it.”
