"You're finally here."
When Guan Yue opened his eyes again, he heard a voice.
He also saw an extremely unfamiliar world.
Red maples, cherry blossoms, willow leaves... It seemed to include all the types of trees known to humans. These trees hung upside down in the sky and grew on the endless white clouds without gaps.
When the wind blew, countless leaves and petals danced in the air.
At this moment, a layer had already accumulated under Guan Yue's feet, and the original appearance of the ground could not be seen at all.
Further away, the scene was still the same.
There was nothing between heaven and earth.
There were no mountains, rivers, lakes, or seas.
It was gorgeous and empty. It seemed vast but could not be said to be oppressive.
This world that seemed to have everything and seemed to have nothing was Guan Yue's inner world.
He looked at the world quietly.
It was as if she had seen the most beautiful scenery and could not extricate herself for a long time.
At this moment, a pair of delicate and fair arms wrapped around Guan Yue's waist from behind.
He even felt someone placing their chin on his shoulder intimately.
"Why are you ignoring me?"
The person behind him said faintly.
Judging from the tone, it was a female.
However, other than that, there were no other characteristics that could be remembered by humans. If one thought about it carefully, they would realize that the language was not within the scope of human knowledge.
If he didn't make a sound, no one would recognize him.
If they did not maintain physical contact, even if they recognized it for a short time, it would disappear in the next second.
“……”
Guan Yue still did not say a word, like a statue.
He did not answer, nor did he have any intention of asking for more information from the other party. He completely treated the other party as if he did not exist.
The woman behind him could not help but chuckle at his behavior.
" As expected…Although I've never told you my name in the past few years, it doesn't prevent you from understanding my true nature…Between people, it's not necessary to know my name to communicate with each other and understand each other deeply. On the contrary, ignoring appearances and directly delving into each other's lives, you'll naturally understand what kind of person the other party is after a long time.”
“……”
"When the time comes, it doesn't matter if you know the name or not. Even if you don't know the name, you can still think of a way to take the initiative and make him yield.”
“……”
"How greedy. You clearly can't even do the initial solution, but you're already exploring the path of the solution.”
“……”
"But…why do you have to do such a meaningless thing? If you told me that you needed me, I would do everything I could to help you.”
"Maybe."
Guan Yue whispered.
This was the first thing he said when he came to his inner world.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the wind stopped, and the leaves stopped falling. An indescribable silence filled the world.
The woman smiled, but she gave off a very sad feeling."Did you see that? This is how the world usually looks like. It will only regain its vitality when you meditate, because only then can I feel your heart.”
"Compared to this, I want to clarify one thing first.”
"Hmm?"
" The key to learning the Disintegration of the Sword is to make the sword materialize and submit to its master. However, since the sword has its own thoughts, it is often unwilling to be controlled by others. If you were the master of the sword, what would you do?”
Hearing this, the woman chuckled." Of course I'm going to break it. What's the use of a disobedient knife?"”
"Is that so? I once stayed in Liuhun Street for four years. At that time, I was extremely thirsty for power. Therefore, when I received the shallow fight, I decided that I had to decide how to use my own power. The will of the sword was not important at all, or rather…from the beginning, I did not need such a will to compete with me for the right to control this power.”
Guan Yue closed her eyes and said slowly as if she had understood something.
"So when I heard your voice, my first thought was,'How good would it be without you'.”
"Didn't you just say that? As long as I tell you that I need you, you will come and help me…It sounds very touching, but in my opinion, this is completely unnecessary. Don't you think that something is wrong to ask for the permission of others to use your own power?”
"So you want to use your newly acquired power to change the structure of the knife and erase my existence, so that you can use the power of the knife as you wish.”
The woman calmly exposed his thoughts.
"That's right."
Guan Yue admitted openly.
One of the Eight Wondrous Skills, Hundred Refinements of Divine Armament, could even forge a knife, not to mention a mere modification.
In fact, even if he didn't have the Eight Wondrous Skills, he had originally planned to learn from Nirvana Cocoon Li and use the ghost path and technology to modify his sword.
"Then why haven't you done anything yet?"
The woman smiled.
Guan Yue sighed and said," Because after having the 'new power' that you mentioned, I suddenly realized something. It turns out that my desire for power only comes from fear and uneasiness. Now that my fear is gone and my uneasiness has receded, I no longer need to see you as an obstacle.”
" To be precise, I didn't have to be hostile to you from the very beginning because…you won't disobey my orders like the other knives. You're special. You were influenced by the existence of the system during the process of forming. To you, serving your master is a matter of course. I never realized this, and I treated you as one of those arrogant knife spirits.”
"When you said 'you're finally here' to me, you actually meant 'you're finally willing to accept me', right? It was indeed a painful thing to be rejected by the master he was loyal to.”
" In the past, I couldn't hear your name. Even when I came to this world, I couldn't see you. That was because my subconscious was resisting communication with you. When I gave up on that thought, I could easily sense your existence like now.”
“……”
The woman didn't say anything, but her hands that were hugging Guan Yue's waist tightened.
Guan Yue used her hands to cover the slender hands on her waist.
Their palms overlapped, and their souls seemed to have fused into one. A silver-blue spiritual pressure emerged under their feet, rising and lingering like mist, gently enveloping the two of them.
The woman's figure gradually turned transparent.
Before she completely disappeared, she whispered something in Guan Yue's ear.
From the beginning to the end, Guan Yue did not know what the woman behind her…looked like.
His vision suddenly changed.
He left his inner world and returned to the dormitory of the second division.
Surprisingly, Guan Yue had unknowingly taken the shallow hit that was originally on her knees and held it in her hand.
At this moment, silver-blue spiritual pressure was wrapped around the surface of the sword and scabbard. It was like a mist that lingered and rose, beautiful and solemn.
As if sensing Guan Yue's gaze, a wisp of spiritual pressure drifted over and brushed across his cheek, as if he was gently stroking it.
"Is this the sword that has been affected by the system? She felt like she had an old mother who doted on her endlessly.”
Guan Yue's expression was slightly subtle.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the system's resurrection, he wouldn't have thought of this at all.
As everyone knew, the Soul Slaying Knife was based on the soul of the God of Death, and it was formed under the catalyst of spiritual pressure.
Just like how Ichigo Amagasaki was a human who had the powers of Death, Void, and Annihilation, the sword had multiple elements.
Even though the System had been pretending to be dead, it could not change the fact that it existed.
When he was condensing his own Dragon Slaying Saber, it was inevitable that he would be affected.
"I didn't expect that I would also become a mixed-blood cheat.”
