Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1301 - 1301 1261 The Truth

1301: Chapter 1261: The Truth 1301: Chapter 1261: The Truth Lu Chuan only felt his mind suddenly become clear.

Previously, with the barrier in place, he did not notice anything unusual, but after the barrier disappeared, he realized just how chaotic his mind had been.

At the same time, some memories sealed deep within his mind began to surface.

Mu Nanqing, Chu Mengyao, Han Qingci, Zhong Ling’er, Shen Yourong, Situ Qinghuan, Yun Ji, Fuxiang…

The various past relationships between these people and Lu Chuan started revealing themselves before his eyes, filling them with disbelief and shock.

He did not know since when, but he had slowly begun to fade the memories of these people from his mind, and if not for the shattered barrier, he might have never recalled them for the rest of his life.

“What the hell…

is going on?” Lu Chuan, clutching his head, felt as if he was caught between reality and illusion, experiencing a sense of unreality.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiaorou, distressed, quickly formed hand seals, unleashing a formidable power, attempting to erect a new barrier within Lu Chuan’s mind.

Lu Chuan sensed Gu Xiaorou’s anomaly and immediately erupted with all his Spiritual Power to resist, blocking the force she had released.

“What are you trying to do?

Was it you who set up that barrier in my mind?”

Gu Xiaorou hurriedly explained: “Lu Chuan, you mustn’t believe those things in your head; they are all illusions, only I am real.

You have been misled.

Please let me remove those unreal images from your mind.

Have you forgotten?

You’ve already killed Lu Fusheng, you’ve had your revenge, you said you wanted to live a happy life with me.

I beg you, don’t be confused by others.”

Lu Chuan’s brows furrowed tightly, uncertain whether to believe the memories in his mind or Gu Xiaorou.

Just then, the voice from before rang again in his mind.

“She is the one misleading you!

Don’t be fooled by her!”

Following this, a force emerged in Lu Chuan’s mind, stabilizing his spirit.

He looked towards Gu Xiaorou and saw that at this moment, her entire body was enveloped by a special force, which was of the same origin as the energy from the barrier in his mind.

It was indeed Gu Xiaorou who was misleading him!

His eyes fixed firmly on Gu Xiaorou, he demanded, “What on earth is going on!”

Gu Xiaorou revealed a face full of sorrow, “We were so close to the last step, why…”

Lu Chuan looked at her, full of confusion, not understanding what was happening.

Just then, he suddenly felt some changes outside and quickly exited the room.

Following that, a towering giant tree appeared in his field of vision, situated at the very heart of the Kunlun Domain, soaring high into the clouds, nearly obscuring the sun and sky.

This was the first time Lu Chuan had seen this tree since entering the Kunlun Domain, yet inexplicably, he felt that the tree had long stood there.

However, for some reason, the tree appeared somewhat withered and seemed to be heading towards desolation.

He remembered what Gu Xiaorou had once said in the secular world, that she wanted his help in healing a tree, but somehow, upon entering the Kunlun Domain, his memory began to falter.

Could this be the tree Gu Xiaorou was talking about?

The past few days had been terrifying indeed.

He could even sense that the whole Kunlun Domain was intimately connected to this giant tree.

At this moment, Gu Xiaorou also walked out from the room.

Her face no longer showed the previous panic, and her expression returned to calm, “It seems you’ve finally seen the true face of the Kunlun Domain.”

Lu Chuan turned to look at Gu Xiaorou, “What’s the deal with that tree?

And the barrier in my mind?”

Gu Xiaorou sighed, “Since a mysterious being has helped you break through the barrier I set up, I suppose it’s impossible to continue deceiving you.”

“But I want you to understand, I have no ill intentions towards you.

The reason I did this was merely to save the Kunlun Domain.”

Lu Chuan watched Gu Xiaorou with furrowed brows, “Deceive me?

What do you mean?”

With a light sigh, Gu Xiaorou proceeded to recount the truth to Lu Chuan in full detail.

It turned out that the giant tree spanning the entire Kunlun Domain was the Ancient Divine Tree, the Kunlun Divine Tree, which allowed the Kunlun Domain to form thanks to its presence.

However, with the arrival of the End of Sects and Magic Era, the world’s Spiritual Energy became gradually depleted, causing the Kunlun Divine Tree to lose its source of Spiritual Energy and start to wither away.

Although this process was very slow, with the cumulative effect over time, the Kunlun Divine Tree’s life-force started to ebb away, a condition that persisted until today.

As a child, Gu Xiaorou stumbled into the trunk of the Kunlun Divine Tree by accident, and after a series of bizarre events, she inadvertently consumed the divine core of the Kunlun Divine Tree.

Since then, she and the Kunlun Divine Tree had formed innumerable connections, and gradually, she actually became the tree spirit of the Kunlun Divine Tree, becoming an inseparable existence with it.

It was also from that time that she realized just how dire the situation of the Kunlun Divine Tree was.

Fortunately, the Kunlun Divine Tree had stood in this world for tens of thousands of years and was omniscient.

After Gu Xiaorou became the tree spirit, she also acquired the vast knowledge of the Divine Tree and learned how to save it.

That was to use the ten divine fire seeds in existence to provide the Divine Tree with vitality.

That was why Gu Xiaorou went together with Gu Xiaosang to the mundane world in search of Divine Fire and later encountered Lu Chuan.

Later on, when Lu Chuan came to the Kunlun Domain, the Divine Tree sensed the two divine fire seeds within him right away.

If the Divine Tree could devour these two seeds, it would be able to gain an endless supply of life force and naturally continue to survive.

But the only problem was that once it devoured Lu Chuan’s two divine fire seeds, Lu Chuan would also die as a result.

Already fused with the Divine Tree, Gu Xiaorou naturally did not want to see this outcome.

Just when she was at a loss, the Divine Tree suddenly discovered a strange power within Lu Chuan, which could also provide vitality to the Divine Tree.

And this power was the dragon’s yang power.

As long as Lu Chuan could continuously generate the dragon’s yang power, then the Divine Tree would be able to absorb this power to sustain itself.

But the prerequisite was that Lu Chuan had to remain within the area covered by the Divine Tree and could never leave.

Therefore, Gu Xiaorou discussed it with the Divine Tree and ultimately decided to keep Lu Chuan in the Kunlun Domain forever by some means.

At that time, Gu Xiaorou was already aware of Lu Chuan’s strongest desire, which was to kill Lu Fusheng and avenge his father and mother.

Thus, with the help of the Divine Tree, she cast a supreme secret method, creating a barrier to cloud Lu Chuan’s memory.

This secret technique would not let Lu Chuan sense anything unusual, but he would gradually forget everything that happened in the mundane world, with only the goal of killing Lu Fusheng remaining in his mind, and one more thing, that is, to marry Gu Xiaorou.

Indeed, things went as planned.

Lu Chuan slowly forgot the affairs of the mundane world and was only focused on killing Lu Fusheng, constantly improving his strength to do so.

And as his strength improved, the Divine Tree was able to absorb a great deal of the dragon’s yang power to maintain its vitality.

For this, Gu Xiaorou and the Divine Tree also fabricated many non-existent things to motivate Lu Chuan to increase his strength.

Of course, the matter of Lu Chuan killing Lu Fusheng was real, and he indeed had his revenge.

Now, as long as Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaorou marry, Gu Xiaorou has a way to make Lu Chuan stay in the Kunlun Domain for life.

Although this involves some illusions and isn’t real, Gu Xiaorou feels that as long as Lu Chuan can continue to be happy, the truth doesn’t matter.

What she never expected, however, was that on the day of the wedding, Lu Chuan was actually able to break through the barrier and recall everything.

“I know that what I and the Divine Tree did to you is unfair, but we also had no choice.

Besides, haven’t you already taken your revenge?

Marrying me and living in the Kunlun Domain forever as a pair of joyful mandarin ducks, isn’t that a beautiful thing?” Gu Xiaorou painstakingly tried to persuade Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan sighed, “Although I have avenged my great revenge, there are many important people I need to protect.

I can’t stay here with you and this tree forever.

You’re being a bit too selfish.”

If his memory were still obscured by that barrier, he might have agreed with Gu Xiaorou’s notion and happily spend his life in the Kunlun Domain.

But now that he had remembered everything, it was impossible to continue according to Gu Xiaorou’s plan.

After all, Mu Nanqing, Han Qingci, and many others were waiting for him, and countless causes and effects could not just be cut off.

“So what do you plan to do?

Are you going to leave me?” Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan longingly.

“I must leave.” Lu Chuan said resolutely.

Gu Xiaorou sighed, expressing her helplessness, “I knew that after you broke through the barrier, you wouldn’t have any attachment to me and the Kunlun Domain.

But you need to understand, the strength you have now is actually maintained by the power of the Divine Tree.

The Spiritual Energy inside the Kunlun Domain is not enough for you to reach your current Realm.

Once you leave the Kunlun Domain, your strength will quickly fall back to the level it was when you first entered.”

Lu Chuan’s expression remained calm, “If it falls, it falls.

I did not come to the Kunlun Domain without gain; at least I killed Lu Fusheng, didn’t I?

For this, I still have to thank you.”

“Also, don’t worry about the Divine Tree losing its vitality after I leave the Kunlun Domain.

Based on the current situation, the Divine Tree can still last for several decades.

Rest assured, after I leave, I will do my best to find a way to restore vitality to the Divine Tree.

Once I have a lead, I will contact you immediately.”

Gu Xiaorou could only nod helplessly.

She had no intention of stopping Lu Chuan.

After all, she wasn’t malicious at heart, and Lu Chuan had the help of a mysterious mentor to break the barrier.

If she insisted on keeping Lu Chuan, a conflict would surely erupt with that mysterious entity.

Given the current state of the Kunlun Divine Tree, it could not afford any further expenditure.

“You go back to your room first, I have some things to take care of.” Lu Chuan said to Gu Xiaorou, then with a leap, he reached the rooftop and sat down in meditation.

Next, he introspected his mind, evoking his thoughts, and asked, “May I ask which esteemed senior are you, and why did you help me break through the barrier?”

A voice echoed in Lu Chuan’s mind: “Brat, can’t you even recognize my voice anymore?”

Lu Chuan was suddenly stunned.

“Grandfather?”
