Chapter 1196: The Sixth Hell (1/2)
Bluegrave.
Lu Yun felt even his teeth ache when he heard the name. Violetgrave’s nether fire was purple and her dark fire was blue. The Bluegrave in front of him… was plainly Violetgrave’s replica. She was also the one who’d appeared when Qing Yu was weathering her human tribulation.
“You didn’t tell me to call you Bluegrave the last time you saw me.” Lu Yun plopped down on the ground and craned his neck up at the girl.
Bluegrave shrugged and sat down as well, leaning against Lu Yun.
“If I hadn’t used the perspective of a chaos creature to tell you all that, where would you be now?”
A small creek suddenly appeared in front of them and Bluegrave dangled her bare feet in the clear waters.
“I…” Lu Yun blinked.
Their conversation in the dao palace and summary of the difference in perspectives between the chaos and the worlds had completely changed some of his thoughts towards the chaos creatures.
He’d once viewed them as vile demons and enemies. All of them were savage, despicable existences that deserved every kind of death possible. They well deserved to be erased from existence. But after that encounter… his thoughts took a completely different turn.
Thus, there hadn’t been any estrangement or discomfort when his thirty-six golden warriors joined the various factions in the chaos. Otherwise, it would’ve been very difficult for him to accept the realm even after learning of Fuxi, Wahuang, Leize, and Huaxu’s true natures.
Lu Yun nodded gently.
“So are you Violetgrave or Bluegrave?” He turned around and asked the stunning face that was completely different from Violetgrave’s.
“What’s the difference? It’s just a name.” Bluegrave smiled. “Just like the little fox—is there a difference between the present her and the soul force replica in the mythological realm?”
Lu Yun grinned wryly and shook his head without a word.
“Violetgrave is preoccupied guarding the spatial node, so here I am.” Bluegrave gently leaned her head against Lu Yun’s shoulder.
It felt like lightning had struck him. He froze, not daring to move.
“Don’t think too much, I’m just tired and want to borrow your shoulder for a bit,” Bluegrave yawned.
Lu Yun looked sideways at the girl. Her eyes were already closed and her long lashes quivered with each breath. Her breathing was steady—she’d fallen fast asleep. Bereft of anything else to do, he closed his eyes and remained unmoving.
After an indeterminate period of time, Bluegrave opened her eyes and extended in an extensive stretch.
“Awake now?” Lu Yun turned his head around to look at her.
“You’ve got some brains, kid, to not wake me up.” Bluegrave patted his shoulder. “So you’ve decided to go to the Hongmeng?”
“Yep.” Lu Yun nodded. “The world of immortals and chaos don’t need me anymore, so I’d like to try my luck there.”
He suddenly realized that the bit of distance he felt toward Violetgrave had vanished after Bluegrave’s nap.
“You’re leaving because they don’t need you?” She looked at him with a half smile.
