Dragon Clan: Start by obtaining the Sett panel

Chapter 13 Soul Lotus
In the darkness, Gu Ye was walking slowly. After he woke up from his unconscious state, he inexplicably came to this unknown area.

Plop... plop... After walking for an unknown amount of time, the sound of water suddenly appeared in the silent darkness.

Gu Ye was very familiar with this voice. Before he awakened his memories before the time travel, he loved playing in the water after it rained, and every time he would get covered in mud.

At this time, his mother would always scold him for being a troublemaker while wiping the dirty water off his face with a towel. Later, Gu Ye's memory of his previous life came back, and he never made trouble again, but he could never forget this familiar voice.

Looking down, the darkness under his feet seemed to be rippling faintly. He seemed to be standing on the lake at this moment. Gu Ye could not help but lift his feet and touch them lightly with his toes.

Waves of fluctuations spread out like tree rings, the dark environment gradually became brighter, and the surroundings suddenly became clear.

The surface of the water emitted a dim purple glow, and not far away was a pitifully small island with a huge cherry tree on it.

With Gu Ye's arrival, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, blowing the pink cherry blossoms down onto the dark purple water.

The pink cherry blossoms exude vitality, forming a sharp contrast with the quiet water surface, as if the boundary between life and death lies here.

Gu Ye wanted to get closer to the cherry tree, but there seemed to be an invisible wall around him, so he could only stand there and look at it from afar.

After giving up, he lowered his head silently. His reflection in the water was smiling, but he was not smiling...

The pupils of the "reflection" emitted a bright dark purple color, and there seemed to be the vague figure of a giant wolf behind it. When Gu Ye wanted to see clearly, the "reflection" returned to normal in an instant.

"Is he qualified?" a low, hoarse voice asked.

"Maybe it's not enough..." the girl responded in a light voice.

Gu Ye looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but except for the faint glow of the cherry trees and the lake, everywhere else was pitch black, as if covered by a black cloth.

"Then... after he understands the boundary between life and death, you can guide him on the path..." another girl's voice sounded.

In an instant, the entire space suddenly emitted light, Gu Ye's sight was covered by a vast expanse of white, and he seemed to see a pair of eyes vaguely.

Those were a pair of emerald green eyes, as captivating as those of a wild beast...

When Gu Ye opened his eyes again, what he saw was Gu Xinya's tired and worried eyes.

He seemed to be in a hospital. The smell of disinfectant filled the air, making Gu Ye frown.

The sunlight outside the window indicated that it was already daytime, which meant... I was unconscious for the entire night? Gu Ye felt a little uneasy.

"Mom?" He asked tentatively in a hoarse voice, not daring to look Xinya in the eye.

"You little brat! Mom was so worried!" Gu Xin hugged Gu Ye, her tears wetting his shoulders.

"It's okay... I'm fine, aren't I?" Gu Ye patted Gu Xinya on the back.

"You're going home in the rain during a typhoon. Do you really think you're superman?! Don't you know how to find a place to wait for the rain to stop?"

"If Chu Zihang hadn't seen you faint and sent you to the hospital, I wouldn't have been able to see you..."

After Gu Xinya let go of Gu Ye, there were still traces of tears on her face, and her words were more fragile than ever before.

Did Chu Zihang… find this excuse? Gu Ye looked at the haggard Gu Ma, and a sense of guilt arose deep in his heart.

"Look, I'm fine..." With a smile, Gu Ye raised his arms and made a pose like a bodybuilder showing off his muscles.

Only my mother, who cares about me, would believe such a ridiculous excuse, right?

"Don't ever do such dangerous things again, promise mom, okay?" Gu Xinya ignored Gu Ye's funny actions and looked at him seriously.

"I promise you, Mom..." Gu Ye nodded.

"Let's go back. I feel like there's nothing wrong with my body." After stretching his body, Gu Ye was about to get up from the bed.

"Just lie down! You just woke up!"

"It's really okay, Mom... Let's go home. I want to eat the braised pork ribs you made." Gu Ye stared at his mother. Although the family was not poor now, the cost of hospitalization was definitely not small, and Gu Ye didn't want to add more pressure to his mother.

"There's really nothing I can do with you. I'll go call the doctor. If the doctor says everything's fine, we'll go home." Gu Xinya sighed, turned around and left the ward.

"You're awake..." After Gu's mother went out, Chu Zihang walked from outside the door to Gu Ye's bedside.

At this moment, his eyes showed no sadness or joy, and his expression was as calm as the tranquil surface of a lake.

"Aunt Gu kept asking me why you were in the hospital, so I just made up an excuse. I also took leave from school."

"What about you? Didn't Aunt Su ask you why you didn't go back?" Gu Ye said to Chu Zihang.

Although he has arranged everything, since his mother is so worried about him, Aunt Su will definitely not be able to sleep because Chu Zihang did not come back all night, right?
"I went back last night and told her that I went to a classmate's house. You don't have to worry about that." Chu Zihang said softly.

After returning home, Chu Zihang first watched Su Xiaoyan drink the milk before returning to the hospital. He would never forget what his father asked him to do. This was his father's only request besides letting him survive.

"Really..." Gu Ye responded softly and then fell silent. He didn't speak again until a long time later.

"I'm sorry for not saving Uncle Chu..."

In the final analysis, he underestimated his enemy. If he had used thunder-like means from the beginning to prevent Odin from having the chance to use his spell-like skills, perhaps Chu Tianjiao would not have stayed on the overpass.

Now thinking back, the three of them seemed to have entered some kind of realm. Even if a false god could create such an environment, his strength should not be underestimated...

Ultimately it's due to lack of combat experience. Even if one wins every fight in the gym, he is still far from being able to withstand a true life-and-death fight.

“No…it’s not your fault…” Chu Zihang’s calm face finally showed a different expression, with a hint of sadness in his hatred.

"What are you going to do next?"

"He mentioned a place before, Kassel... Maybe I can find out what I want to know there..." Chu Zihang seemed to be recalling.

"No matter where that place is, it can definitely give me the power of revenge."

Gu Ye looked at Chu Zihang, whose eyes seemed to be burning, got up from the bed and patted his shoulder.

"I'll help too...if you need me to."

"No need. This matter has nothing to do with you. I don't want to involve you."

"What are you talking about? Uncle Chu saved my life!" Gu Ye naturally couldn't just watch Chu Zihang put himself in danger alone.

Sometimes cause and effect are not calculated in this way. If Gu Ye did not drive a Maybach, perhaps he would not have encountered such a thing, but there are no ifs in this world.

Life is not a movie that can be fast forwarded or rewound at any time. No matter what, Chu Tianjiao's life-saving grace is real, and his hysteria when Odin pierced his chest with Kungunir was also real.

"Then it's up to you..." Chu Zihang nodded, and then took a look at the hospital gown on Gu Ye.

"Have a good rest. I'm going back first."

"Wait a minute!" Gu Ye seemed to remember something and stopped Chu Zihang who was about to leave.

“Maybe there is a way to get Uncle Chu back…”

Hearing this, Chu Zihang suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Ye.

"You may not believe it, but I dreamed of something. If I succeed in obtaining it, it may have the ability to resurrect the dead..."

"What is it? You can find it there!" Chu Zihang quickly approached Gu Ye, his tone no longer able to remain calm.

"The Soul Lotus... is..."

"In my heart." Gu Ye pointed to his chest.
