Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1364: Chapter 1021: Living—Isn’t It Just Another Kind of Madness?

Gu Changsheng frowned upon hearing this.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond to the Manman Bug.

She wasn’t a person with blind faith, but now, did she have a way out?

”Manman, it’s not that I don’t want to go back, it’s just that we’ve come this far, and it seems we have no way back...” With a slight bow, Gu Changsheng murmured, ”The desire to resurrect my mother has never changed. Even if my mother, if alive, might not want me to take risks, I’m actually afraid. I’m not afraid of death; I’m afraid that I won’t be able to fulfill my wish before dying, that I won’t see my mother back in the light of day!”

The Manman Bug heard this, and the worm face wrinkled even more severely.

”Besides, you know that Shi Wujue...” At this point, Gu Changsheng paused, ”I owe him a life debt, which is the hardest to repay. But once owed, it’s always owed. If I leave now, it wouldn’t make sense...”

”Moreover, have you forgotten my previous guess? Manman, someone is using this world as a board to force every step, pushing me to this point. I’m already at a point where I can’t retreat...”

Sighing deeply, Gu Changsheng was also very helpless.

How she wished that none of this had happened?

She had just stepped out of Liaodong, had not yet set foot in Northern Mongolian, nor entered the Far North Land, and she was already half-alive, owing a pile of personal debts. What would happen next, even she had no certainty!

Retreat?

She had no retreat!

The one maneuvering from behind wouldn’t allow her to retreat!

Gu Changsheng was absolutely certain that if she turned back now, there would definitely be a catastrophe in Northern Mongolian, and Borjigin Nian and her Father King would not escape calamity! As for the Central Plains, what trouble those lurking there might stir, even Gu Changsheng wasn’t sure!

She now had no way to retreat!

The so-called dilemma describes her situation right now...

”But deep down, I really feel anxious! You know, even if I’ve lost my Divinity Body, I am Divine Breath. The intuition of Divine Breath tells me that if you remain stubborn, this will surely be a catastrophe, potentially repeating the calamity of the Gods’ demise at the End of the Ancient Wilderness! Girl, just listen to me this once. We can’t continue further, let’s stop here! Let’s not touch those untouchable things, not greedily seek out those fantasies that shouldn’t exist, okay?”

At this moment, even the Manman was somewhat uneasy, setting aside its pride, and anxiously persuading.

How had Gu Changsheng ever seen such a Manman?

Since meeting with her old father, seeing the awakened Manman, it had always been so arrogant, when had it ever spoken so gently?

But this request of hers, she...

”Manman...can you ensure that the world won’t be in chaos if we turn back now?” Someone as skilled in Transformative Realm like Fufeng Tianlan, neither she nor Zhou Mu had any power to counter, let alone knowing how many such people exist in the Sand Sea Hualang Clan...

This potential threat is undoubtedly enormous!

”Manman, I don’t know how many like Fufeng Tianlan, who can easily destroy cities and territories, there are, nor what strength they possess, but I know Fufeng Tianlan’s goal is to make me step into the Divine Demise Land. If I stop now, given that woman’s nearly mad disposition, she certainly won’t let it rest!” Leaning against the window sill, Gu Changsheng frowned, spoke in a somber voice, ”If I continue, even if there’s danger, it’s merely for our group, but if I stop, I’ll inadvertently lead disaster southward, into the Central Plains...”

”Those are my people! Although I’m not a competent Southern Emperor, I cannot do things that implicate them... Whether it’s fortune or misfortune, I don’t know. Whether it’s life or death, I don’t know either. I only know that now, I have no retreat, I can only move forward, I cannot move back!”

The Manman looked at Gu Changsheng, its worm face much more anxious, waving its two worm claws, hysterically spoke, ”Did you hear what I’m saying? The power of Moon Calling, only the descendants of Moon Goddess Posuo have such ability, and now, such phenomena have appeared in Linyuan City, yet you obstinately wish to continue forward? Aren’t you afraid of touching upon some taboo, dragging the entire world to be buried alongside you? Gu Changsheng! This realm is supposed to have no gods, yet this existence with the power of Moon Calling has appeared, everything, all of it, hints at strangeness, don’t you need to carefully think? This isn’t as simple as someone using forbidden witchcraft, this involves the Deities...”

Listening to Manman’s anxious words, Gu Changsheng lowered her head, pondering deeply...

After a long while, she slowly supported herself on the window sill to stand, moving towards the White Jade Bed, walking as she spoke to Manman behind her, ”Manman, a bow does not turn back an arrow, whether it’s me or that one maneuvering, neither of us has a way to retreat! What gods, what strange occurrences, I don’t care! I, Gu Changsheng, am someone who won’t shed tears until I see the coffin, whose heart won’t give out until reaching the Yellow River! Even if the road leads endlessly into darkness, I will continue on! I absolutely will not disregard those potential threats, turning back to the Central Plains, that’s truly putting my people into a pit of misery!”

The ability of Masters of the Transformative Realm is incredibly terrifying!

Being able to transform into wolves in the Masters of the Transformative Realm is a terrifying existence beyond belief!

She cannot take risks!

Since being a chess piece, one should have the awareness of a chess piece. If she acts on her own, she would damage the entire game of the one hidden in the shadows and result in even worse circumstances!

That...is not what she wants to see!

”You! You crazy person!” Manman looked at Gu Changsheng who had returned to lying on the bed, furiously said.

”Life is tough, isn’t surviving also a form of madness?” Lying back on the White Jade Bed, Gu Changsheng reached to pull the thin blanket over herself, softly murmuring.

The Manman Bug, upon hearing this, stiffened.

”Manman Dandan, actually, I’ve always felt guilty towards you, making you follow me into life and death situations passively like this. I really didn’t want this. If I could, more than anyone, I want to return your freedom... I just want to be unruly alone, insane alone, without anyone pulling at my nerves...” Gu Changsheng said tiredly, slowly closing her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Manman Bug’s big eyes flashed with surprise, but then quickly snorted, ”You really are a madman! Getting into trouble, and always thinking about escape, being unruly alone? Insane alone? How is that possible!”

Indeed, how is that possible?

There are so many people around her, so many things...

She can’t break free!

Identity, sometimes, is a burden, and emotions, sometimes, are also a burden!

Gu Changsheng lying on the bed sighed deeply with a face full of helplessness.

To this day, her heart is actually messier than a tangled ball of thread!

Her evildoer... Her Zhou Mu...

Shi Wei’s promise, Shi Wujue’s life-saving sacrifice...

Everything makes Gu Changsheng feel lost and want to escape!

But she knows, she can’t escape!

Not only can she not escape, but she has no plan!

Just like now, knowing Shi Wujue’s life and death are uncertain, she doesn’t even have the strength to walk out of this Heaven Deceiving Hall, let alone repay the favor!

This favor cannot be repaid in the first place...

Confusion and disarray, Gu Changsheng, who has always acted swiftly and decisively, is experiencing this feeling for the first time — and it’s utterly terrible!

In a daze, Gu Changsheng once again falls into slumber, but even in sleep, her brow is tightly furrowed, hoping in her heart that this day never dawns, that she never has to wake up to face the chaotic situation...

However, things never go as one wishes, the sun rises and sets naturally, unhindered by Gu Changsheng’s thoughts. The darkness before dawn disappears, but as time passes, the moon still vanishes into the western sky, replaced by the eastern horizon, as the sun rises slowly...

”Southern Emperor, Southern Emperor, it’s time to eat and take your medicine!”

Palace Maid Ling Xi’s soft voice sounded in Gu Changsheng’s ear, waking her from her sleep.

Groggily opening her eyes, still somewhat weak, Gu Changsheng under Ling Xi’s support reclined against the soft pillow, glancing out the window, ”What Shichen is it?”

”To report to Southern Emperor, it’s already Chen Hour!” Ling Xi said while serving the bland food.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng nodded, hesitated at the early meal before her, but still spoke, ”How is your City Lord... doing?”

Hearing Gu Changsheng mention her own City Lord, Ling Xi’s little head couldn’t help but lower, her voice carrying a slight sobbing tone, ”Reporting to Southern Emperor, this maid doesn’t know how the City Lord is doing now...”

”Then he...” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s heart suddenly tightened, and the scene of seeing Shi Wujue yesterday resurfaced.

The dancing snow-white hair, the pale face...

The figure seeming ready to fall with a gust of wind...

Made Gu Changsheng’s heart, feel a sharp pain!

Guilt, indebtedness...

If it weren’t for her, how would he lose his vitality and become like that...

”Southern Emperor, the meal is getting cold, you should eat first, the soup medicine will be ready soon, you should take medicine on time...” Ling Xi, seeing Gu Changsheng like this, quickly changed the subject and placed the chopsticks in Gu Changsheng’s hand.

Gu Changsheng glanced at the chopsticks in her hand, sighed, and under Ling Xi’s hopeful gaze, reluctantly picked up some greens and stuffed them into her mouth...

Having hastily eaten a few bites, with no appetite, Gu Changsheng let Ling Xi clear away the meal!

But just as the meal was cleared away, Ling Xi returned...

”Southern Emperor, Crown Prince Mu is outside the hall, would you like to see him or not?”
