Chapter 2190: This World Is Not Perfect, Yet There Are Always People Worth Protecting

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi tilted her head and looked at Su Yunling.

Su Yunling held Gu Zhiqi’s hand and continued walking towards the city wall. In Gu Zhiqi’s gaze, Su Yunling slowly opened his mouth, "Do you know? I’ve encountered similar situations before."

"At that time, I had just turned seventeen, just became the leader of the Ever Winning Army, and encountered that kind of situation."

"Back then, there were many people who agreed to hand me over, even more than in Nine Stars City."

"At that time, I was actually very disappointed in my heart, but the choice that time, and this time as well, I traded myself for their lives."

"But in the end, they still died at the hands of the enemy. Instead, I survived from the enemy’s clutches."

"When they forced me into the enemy camp, I wished I could turn back and kill them. However, when they really died, I was still quite lost, especially since most of them defended me when the enemy forced them to hand me over."

"Watching them all die, I felt pain in my heart."

"Afterward, for a long time, I was very depressed."

"Until one day, I suddenly understood."

"In this world, there are indeed many unlikable people, but there are also many worth protecting."

"For those worth protecting, I am willing to protect everyone."

Gu Zhiqi slightly tilted her head, listening intently to Su Yunling’s words.

When Su Yunling spoke these words, Gu Zhiqi felt that he was glowing, yes, very charming.

Just like, a long time ago.

Back then, he had also said similar words to her.

At that time, he was betrayed by someone, sold to the people of the underground black market, and the person who sold him was someone he had personally saved.

In the end, it was she who paid to redeem him.

Later, she found out that he didn’t actually need her to redeem him, as the Lord God of the Mystic Realm, his powers were immense, so immense that when the Mystic Realm was about to collapse, he needed to sacrifice himself to save it.

And he really went.

She didn’t want him to go, so she took him to see countless ugly facets of human nature in the world.

However, he still did not change his determination to save the Mystic Realm; he said, "This world is not beautiful, but there are always people worth protecting who need me to protect them."

He said, "The day he became the Lord God, he was ready to sacrifice himself at any time to protect the world."

The claims of the Burning Angel and Wisdom Angel were simply wrong.

The world’s Lord Gods do not have the power to control the destinies of everyone; all they have is responsibility.

Every world’s Lord God, on the day they become the Lord God, is destined to live and die with the world.

Specifically, when the world experiences turbulence or collapse, the Lord God needs to sacrifice himself to restore peace to the world.

In his previous life, Su Yunling was the Lord God of the Mystic Realm. The Mystic Realm developed a rift and was about to collapse, so he needed to sacrifice himself to mend the space-time rift.

After Su Yunling finished speaking, he found Gu Zhiqi staring at him in a daze, not even noticing the ditch ahead, so he called out, "What are you thinking about? Why aren’t you watching the road?"

As he spoke, he pulled her slightly towards himself, avoiding the ditch ahead.

Gu Zhiqi was snapped out of her daze by Su Yunling’s call and casually replied, "Why watch the road? It’s not as good-looking as you."

Although she did not want Su Yunling to always do things that required self-sacrifice.

But undoubtedly, whenever Su Yunling did such things, she couldn’t help but be captivated by him.

Hearing Gu Zhiqi’s response, Su Yunling fell silent.

Gu Zhiqi continued to tilt her head and look at him, with arched eyebrows, she said, "After hearing what you said, I think the Su the Beauty who protects the world really needs to be protected. I shall take on that task."

Su Yunling’s ears moved slightly, silently tightening the hand holding Gu Zhiqi.
