CHAPTER 130 – Gu Yanzhou Hears Her Voice
Here is another chapter for you lovelies...
Let get into it.
Gu Yanzhou stumbled through the rift—
half-corporeal, half-light, half-memory.
Everything flickered around him: broken pieces of dreams, fragments of dead timelines, echoes of voices that weren't his.
He ignored all of them. He walked, propelled by a will stronger than reality.
He walked until he could no longer feel his feet. He walked until his body dissolved into a purely golden, conceptual form.
He walked until his soul glowed white-hot, consuming itself in the search.
Then—
He heard it.
A voice.
Soft.
Broken.
Crying with fear.
"Yanzhou… stop… turn back…"
Gu froze, the sound anchoring his soul.
"…Xiao Xi? Is that you?"
Her conceptual breath hitched in response.
"Why did you come? You can't be here!"
Gu laughed, a shattered, raw sound that echoed the void's emptiness.
"Why did I come? Why—?"
His voice broke, filled with the pain of the last three days.
"I've been trying to reach you since the moment you left! I won't accept your final choice!"
The void trembled violently around him.
Xiao Xi whispered, the sound thick with desperation.
"…I'm trapped.
I can't get out.
This is my prison."
Gu took another, deliberate step toward her sound.
"Then I'll come in.
We share the Core, remember? We share the prison."
"No!" Xiao Xi cried, the force of her denial causing a violent flare of light.
"If you enter—you won't survive the void will consume you—!"
"I don't care."
"You SHOULD care! Your friends need you—Shen, Ling—they need you back!"
"You are the only one I need.
And you are the only one that needs me."
Silence.
A terrible, shared acknowledgment of their devotion.
The First Root hissed from somewhere nearby, sensing the nearing threat.
"COME CLOSER, CHILD OF HER CHOICE.
SHE IS WEAKENING."
Gu ignored the First Root entirely.
He stepped into the tearing light—
and the void split open, revealing Xiao Xi's silhouette perfectly.
Her hair floated like wisps of violet starlight. Her body was half-transparent.
Her Core was visible, dim and cracked.
Gu reached toward her, his golden light straining.
She reached back, tears of relief and anguish on her face—
But before their fingers could touch, completing the bond—
A violent shockwave blasted them apart, thrown backward by an unseen force.
The First Root roared, its enormous shadow growing, desperate to stop the reunion.
"YOU CAN BE TOGETHER.
OR YOU CAN LIVE.
BUT YOU CANNOT HAVE BOTH! I WILL NOT BE BOUND BY THEIR LOVE!"
Xiao Xi screamed, terrified for him:
"Yanzhou—RUN—!!! GO BACK NOW—!"
Gu smiled softly, heartbreakingly, the absolute peace of acceptance settling over his soul.
"I didn't come here to run, Xi."
And he stepped deeper into the void, right up to the boundary of her prison.

CHAPTER 131 – The Void Reacts to Gu Yanzhou
Gu Yanzhou took one step closer to Xiao Xi, ignoring the agonizing scream of his own soul.
Just one step.
And the void screamed in visceral protest.
Blackness rippled outward like a tsunami of nothingness.
The space around him convulsed, bending and tearing like a sheet of metal heated past the breaking point.
This prison, created to contain cosmic chaos, was being violated by a human will.
Xiao Xi staggered back, horror and love battling in her translucent eyes.
"NO! Yanzhou—your soul can't withstand the raw concept of this place—! You'll be annihilated!"
Gu wiped a streak of blood—or conceptual injury—from his lips, utterly unfazed.
"You think I came here just to stand still? I came here to take you out."
Her breath hitched, realizing the magnitude of his intrusion.
His mere presence—his defiant, self-annihilating will—forced the very concept of the void to bend around him in ways that defied its programming.
The First Root growled, its massive, chained form thrashing violently against the chaos threads Xiao Xi had forged.
"IMPOSSIBLE.
NO HUMAN SOUL CAN ENTER THIS DOMAIN.
IT MUST BE DELETED!"
Gu didn't spare him a glance, his gaze fixed only on Xiao Xi.
"I'm not just human anymore.
You already know that."
The First Root paused, its immense shadow focusing on Gu's flickering, determined gold.
"…WHAT ARE YOU, THEN?"
Gu's gaze sharpened, radiating a strength born of singular devotion.
"Someone who refused to let her die alone. And someone who refused to let her final choice stand."
The entire void trembled in violent, uncontrolled protest, recognizing the force of his statement.
Xiao Xi cried out as her already weakened Core flared painfully, reacting to the instability.
"STOP—GU—STOP—YOU'RE DESTROYING YOURSELF AND THE PRISON—!"
But Gu only smiled, his last vestiges of corporeal form dissolving into gold light.
A soft, gentle smile meant for her alone.
"If destroying myself gets me to you… so be it.
It's better than living in the world you gave me."
And the void cracked again, yielding to the pressure of his will.
That's it for this chapter,see you next chapter,
