My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chen Lusi watched the golden light dots gradually converging towards her.

Slightly hesitant.

But in the end, she did not evade or hurry to swing her sword. Instead, she quietly stayed in place, looking at those golden light dots.

The dancing golden light dots continuously peeled away from the holy light, carrying a seemingly sacred aura, gently circling around Chen Lusi, passing through the Tai’e Sword, and finally arriving behind Chen Lusi.

Soon.

Within the pure white holy light.

Behind Chen Lusi, there was a large expanse of conspicuous gold.

The Tai’e Sword began to tremble again.

But this time.

It wasn’t excitement.

... Instead, it was a bit of sadness.

Sadness?

Why?

Chen Lusi felt the emotion transmitted from the Tai’e Sword, slightly taken aback, and then didn’t react just yet.

"The times have truly changed."

"... The gods of the alien race can also become so powerful. I’ve only ever seen such a vast divine realm in the Zhao and Chu lands."

A voice suddenly came.

Chen Lusi turned her head, looking towards her side, where a golden figure, somewhat familiar to her, stood by her side, gazing forward as though it could penetrate the holy light and see far-off scenes: "I also didn’t expect that I could maintain my sanity till now—is it because I’m included in the Divine Ghost System? Or is it because my sins are too heavy, even the Yellow Springs are unwilling to take me in."

"... May I ask who you are?"

Chen Lusi looked at the golden figure beside her, who was talking to himself, remained silent for a moment, and then asked.

"..."

The golden figure slowly turned its head upon hearing her, ’looking’ towards Chen Lusi. Although the face, made entirely of energy, couldn’t be quite seen, it seemed to smile: "Young people today have also changed vastly, generally becoming stronger and sturdier. If the soldiers back then were so strong and numerous, perhaps I wouldn’t have had to trick and kill those poor enemy soldiers."

He did not directly answer Chen Lusi’s question.

But Chen Lusi faintly guessed the name of this being.

But why.

Although she speculated... that when Ying Zheng severed the Yellow Spring Remnant Vein, it wasn’t done from the human world...

This being ought to be two eras apart from Ying Zheng.

Why would he appear here?

And why would he appear... from the holy light?

Chen Lusi decided to continue questioning: "What exactly is your situation?"

"Just an illusion dream body."

This time.

The golden figure finally answered her: "Hanging on because of the remnant vein’s curse, waking because of the remnant vein’s existence, a deceased person feeling a bit sentimental at the moment. It doesn’t matter who I am, as my era... has long passed.

I’m standing here merely because I woke from a long slumber and wanted to find someone to talk to."

Chen Lusi: "..."

The figure in turn asked: "I don’t know who you are, but you inherited the Tai’e, inherited the remnant vein, yet your spirit belongs to the Qin Stream, so Qin succeeded in the end, right?"

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment: "If you mean that the Yellow Springs Mainstream unified, and the Six Kingdoms were returned to Qin, then it indeed succeeded."

"Is that so."

The figure seemed to smile again: "Then are you the current Guardian God of the Yellow Springs?"

Chen Lusi: "... Guardian God?"

"Aren’t you?"

The figure seemed somewhat surprised: "Inheriting the remnant vein’s lingering might, bearing the Sword of the Way of Power, walking in the Yellow Springs, a servant of the source... the last command I received was this."

"..."

Chen Lusi heard this, a slight astonishment on her face, slowly looking up.

Why?

Did Emperor Shi give her the Tai’e to await this moment?

"Whether or not it is."

The figure did not hear a response, lightly shook his head, and then glanced around at the surrounding holy light: "You’re now resisting the alien race, or more accurately, the gods of the alien race, right?"

"Mm."

Chen Lusi came back to her senses... looked at him again, and nodded slightly.

"Then let me lend you a hand."

The figure reached out, gently touching the Tai’e that Chen Lusi was holding: "Even aside from so-called duties, to be remembered two thousand years later, as an elder, I also ought to respond to this sentiment.

Not only I think so; they probably think the same.

After all, ultimately, as ancestors, the duty is to protect the descendants... isn’t it?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Chen Lusi.

This time.

On his face, which couldn’t distinguish any features before, slowly appeared facial features, revealing an ordinary face.

Truly ordinary.

He did not possess Ying Zheng’s oppressive and noble aura that left people breathless, nor any sort of coercion.

He looked exactly like an average person.

He smiled at Chen Lusi.

Then, he directly transformed into wisps of faint golden light, soaring towards Chen Lusi, and delved into the Tai’e Sword held in her right hand.

At the same time.

The golden light dots floating behind Chen Lusi followed closely after.

"... The so-called gods are nothing more than illusions created by humans. They derive everything from humans and ought to protect humanity; if not, they should be deemed Sinful Gods and eradicated.

The one above you is a Sinful God, a person indulged in praise and immortality."

The voice echoed again, but this time, only the voice could be heard without seeing the person: "I have severed its source; now it’s up to you to sever its body."

As the voice dissipated.

More golden light dots peeled away from the holy light.

They circled around the so-called paradise, then gathered behind Chen Lusi, blocking out the sky like a cloak draped over Chen Lusi, continually undulating.

And in her hand, the Tai’e.

At this moment, it no longer maintained its ancient appearance; instead, like molting, with continuous tremors, the surface gradually turned golden.
