Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 781: Chapter 613: Defying the Heavens

“Eternal separation through eternity!”

“Is it so, that if Celestial Tribulation does not descend, this person before me could peacefully live out her remaining years?”

“Amitabha! Why must Benefactor Changsheng deceive herself and others?”

A Buddhist scripture was recited, a gentle question rose beside Gu Changsheng.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng instantly turned around, staring fiercely at Little Monk Bu Jie beside him.

Under the vague moonlight, Little Monk Bu Jie just stood quietly, his small monk robe, his face of kindness and compassion…

He slightly tilted his shining little head, gazing at the boundless night sky…

“Shang Xie, what do you mean?” Gu Changsheng asked with a trembling voice, shivering all over.

Upon hearing this, Little Monk Bu Jie turned back, glanced at the woman beside him, his little head slightly shook, and slowly said, “The time of reunion between you and your daughter marks the moment for the descend of the Celestial Tribulation. The monk never speaks lies. Benefactor Changsheng, it’s not that by disowning each other, you can avoid this tribulation!”

Speaking to this point, Little Monk Bu Jie looked up again at the night sky, “Seas dry up, rocks crumble, mountains collapse, lands split, winter thunder trembles, Occlude Heavens and Moon, the initial phase of Celestial Tribulation has already formed, he cannot escape it!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng looked up uncertainly, and indeed, the crescent moon that hung on the branch at some unknown time had disappeared, the entire sky was pitch black!

“Occlude Heavens and Moon! Occlude Heavens and Moon! No! Impossible!” Gu Changsheng shook his head, his figure flashed, directly soaring into the air, rushing toward that slender figure in front of him.

He stretched out his arms, hugged tightly, trembling all over, refusing to let go.

“No! Do not bring down the Celestial Tribulation! It’s my fate that has changed, it’s me who has revived from death, don’t hurt him, don’t hurt my dad! I don’t want this!”

The slender figure in his arms trembled at the word “dad.”

The pale, slender fingers slowly covered Gu Changsheng’s cheeks, gently wiping the tears from her face. Gu Taitian, with a face of relief, softly spoke, “Changsheng, don’t be afraid, don’t cry. Since Ruoshui and I acted against heaven, we knew this day would come.”

“Our daughter, your mother has been waiting for me for over twenty years. I promised her, ‘In life and in death, never to leave, even if the soul disintegrates, we will protect you together.’ With the descent of the Celestial Tribulation, your life should be safe, our final wish is fulfilled, it’s time now, time to go find her…”

Caressing the face beneath his hands tenderly, Gu Taitian’s mouth slightly curved, instantly captivating, “Changsheng, you resemble your mother greatly… very much so…”

“Gu Taitian!” Gu Changsheng shook her head, her voice fierce and low, roaring, “Gu Taitian listen to me, I have already lost my mother, if you dare let me sit by passively again, I will never forgive you for my entire life, through all eternity!”

“Boom!”

The gloomy sky was torn apart by a ferocious lightning bolt!

The thunderous roar of thunder suddenly resounded through these mountains!

With flashes of lightning and blinding light, in the blink of an eye, the surroundings of Gu Changsheng and others turned into scorched earth!

The vegetation withered, the foliage fell!

The rocks cracked, all things ceased to breathe!

Celestial Tribulation!

The Celestial Tribulation had arrived!

Carrying the power to balance Heaven and Earth, it instantly turned these mountains into desolation!

“Changsheng, live well, no matter where you are, live well. Ruoshui and I will become stars in the sky to protect you!” Gu Taitian, looking around the desolation, gripped Gu Changsheng’s hand tightly, urgently advising her.

Then, suddenly let go, rising to his feet.

“No!” Gu Changsheng reached out, grabbing the slender figure attempting to leave her side.

“Old Handsome Grandpa, don’t go…” Even the bewildered little bun was scared and uncertainly grabbed Gu Taitian’s other hand.

“What of Celestial Tribulation? What of defying heaven?” Gu Changsheng stared resolutely at the man before her, her voice resounding firmly, “Gu Taitian, I, Gu Changsheng, have been born with no reverence for heaven or earth. I fear no deities, I fear nothing. If the Celestial Tribulation is to descend, then let it come fiercer than ever. My father, unless I die, no one can take him away, not you, not heaven, not earth!”

“Shang Xie!” Gu Changsheng turned, grabbed the little bun beside her and threw him toward Little Monk Bu Jie, her expression resolute, “Take him, leave!”

Little Monk Bu Jie reached out, catching the crying little bun, his face filled with compassion.

Fingers interlocked, Gu Changsheng held on to that pale, slender hand firmly, tightly, not letting go.

She tilted her head, looking at the person beside her, Gu Changsheng’s eyes hopeful, her smile charming, “Gu Taitian, you are my dad, the father of Gu Changsheng. You have changed our fates, defied heaven so we wouldn’t vanish at our prime, and for you, so will I! Isn’t just a Celestial Tribulation? Then let the storm come more fiercely, father and daughter together, in life and in death!”

The fierce wind howled, lightning streaked across the sky.

Gu Changsheng just stood there, clutching the person beside him, letting him use all his strength, yet not moving an inch!

“Shang Xie, tell the evildoer for me, if there is a next life, I wish to grow old with him, side by side, with silver hair. This life, after all, I have failed him!” Under the flickering lightning and booming thunder, Gu Changsheng almost whispered.

She and the evildoer had walked through all the time of this world together, and in the end, they couldn’t wait for the moment to grow old together!

“Mother! Wuu… Hug me, Mother! Hug me!” The little bun struggled incessantly in Shang Xie’s arms, crying unstoppable.

“My child, live well, take good care of your Uncle Wood for your mother, and don’t let him do anything foolish…” Hearing the voice of the little bun, Gu Changsheng steeled her heart and tightly closed her eyes.

“Changsheng! Why must you do this? Are you going to let everything I and Ruoshui have done turn into nothingness? Let go! You need to live! You need to live well!” Gu Taitian struggled desperately, no longer composed as before, and roared with a hoarse voice.

“Gu Taitian, stop struggling, it’s useless!” Gu Changsheng turned around, still smiling gracefully, “Your daughter is very stubborn. The old man has often chased me with a belt to smack my butt because of this!”

At this, Gu Taitian immediately burst into tears.

“Boom!”

The boundless power that tore through the sky exploded in front of Gu Changsheng and Gu Taitian!

The powerful air currents, carrying scorching heat, made it difficult to breathe, and felt as if all of one’s internal organs were being squeezed dry!

The rocks a yard away were directly split by a bolt of lightning, creating a deep, narrow chasm!

Within the chasm stood Gu Changsheng and her daughter, desperately trying to maintain their stance; outside the chasm, were the little bun, Little Monk Bu Jie, and Granny Wu Shan, each with an extremely frightened expression…

“Pfft!”

With her organs in turmoil, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Gu Taitian’s already pale face now showed an unnatural flush.

Raising her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, Gu Changsheng laughed uproariously to the sky, “Haha… to die by a divine lightning strike in this life is much more glorious than my inexplicable death in the last life! I’ve gained! Gained!”

“Changsheng!” Gu Taitian roared, extending his arm to embrace his daughter in his arms, and pleaded softly, “Go! Fly over this chasm to the other side! You have boundless Inner Strength; this chasm can’t stop you! Go!”

On each side of the chasm, one was life, the other was death!

“I won’t go! I said we would live and die together, how can I abandon that halfway?” Gu Changsheng looked up defiantly and suddenly pointed a finger skyward, “Damn you, heaven, I knew you’ve always disliked me. Come then! Let your lightning strike me dead! It will spare me your endless calculating and let me, who shouldn’t be alive, be liberated early! In twenty years, I’ll be a beauty again!”

“Changsheng!”

“Boom!”

Another lightning bolt flashed around them.

This time, much closer!

Gu Changsheng could even smell her hair being singed by the electric fire!

“Damn! It’s really striking!” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately lost her composure, quickly lifting her long hair to check, and indeed, the ends were singed to a crisp. Touching it lightly, everything crumbled into ash. “Damn it! The head can be broken, blood can flow! But beauty must not be lost! Heaven, dare you not hand me a complete death? You keep striking before and after, scaring whom?”

“Changsheng! Shut up!” Gu Taitian covered Gu Changsheng’s mouth with his hand, as she was continuously cursing, his brows tightly furrowed as he spoke gravely, “These two are heaven and earth warning thunderbolts! The true heavenly tribulation has yet to come! Are you so eager to seek death? Go out there!”

“No!” Gu Changsheng muffled, her words unclear but her stubbornness very clear.

“You!” Seeing this, Gu Taitian’s face showed hopeless sorrow, unable to bear any longer, out of options, he raised his head to observe the boundless storm brewing above, and tightened his embrace around his daughter once more, “My daughter, the world remains severe, I hope you endure through and thrive!”

This voice was both a farewell and a cherished love!

In the next moment, Gu Taitian suddenly raised his hand, his long fingers aimed straight at his own chest!

“As a witness between heaven and earth, the yellow earth bears witness, with the blood at the core of my heart, I sacrifice my divine soul…” A cluster of bloody flesh startlingly appeared in Gu Taitian’s palm.

Blood drenched, Gu Changsheng watched in horror as the man in front of her tore open his chest, as if struck by lightning.

Gu Taitian looked at his daughter, his form slightly swaying, a pale face evoking a relieved smile, he slowly continued, “Between heaven and earth, in the ancient seam, the last lingering Divine Breath, please heed my call. With the blood from my heart’s core as the guide, aid in manifesting my form…”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng shuddered, looking at the man in front of her with fear and confusion, unsure of what to do.

“Changsheng, I won’t let you die with me! My daughter, I will make sure you survive! Survive!” With his chest soaked with blood, Gu Taitian, shaking hands, slowly moved the handful of bloody flesh towards Gu Changsheng’s forehead…

The smell of blood rushed to the face!

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a turmoil at her forehead, as if something was about to burst forth, the pain tearing…
