God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 125: The Psychic Debate: Differences Difficult to Resolve

In the air filled with the smell of blood, everyone sat around the flickering fire, and the atmosphere was as heavy as solidified glue.

Psychic scholar Zheng nervously pushed his glasses up, and the lenses reflected the firelight, flickering.

"Closing the gate to the spirit world...is theoretically possible, but the consequences...are unpredictable." He swallowed. "The spirit world and the mortal world are interdependent. Forcibly severing the connection could trigger unimaginable disasters, or even...the collapse of the mortal world."

Chu Feng frowned, his fingers tapping the ground unconsciously, again and again, the tapping sound was particularly clear in the silence.

Pan Yue patted his shoulder and whispered, "Don't worry too much, there will always be a way." But this simple comfort could not dispel the haze that shrouded Chu Feng's heart.

"Nonsense! Absolutely nonsense!" Elder Wu stood up abruptly, puffing his beard and glaring. "Since ancient times, my Night's Watch has guarded the gate to the spirit world and never considered closing it! How dare you, a brat still wet behind the ears, question our ancestral teachings?"

Guo Shouye was initially a little shaken, but upon hearing Elder Wu's rebuke, he immediately echoed, "Yes, Chu Feng, the elder is right. We can't act rashly."

"But..." Chu Feng started to speak, but was interrupted by Elder Wu: "There is no but! How can you understand the affairs of the spirit world? Are you closing the door to the spirit world and wanting the whole world to be buried with you?"

Chu Feng's explanation was drowned out by Elder Wu's roar. He felt an indescribable sense of oppression, as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Every rebuke from Elder Wu was like a sharp knife, stabbing his self-esteem.

The messenger from the spirit world stood aside, watching all this coldly, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth.

Several spiritual creatures behind him let out low roars, as if they were echoing Elder Wu's accusations, and as if they were mocking Chu Feng's powerlessness.

The mysterious old man Xiao remained silent, just staring at Chu Feng quietly, with a complex light flashing in his turbid eyes.

He slowly stretched out his hand and stroked an ancient wooden stick in his hand, as if weighing something.

Chu Feng took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

He knew that he had to remain calm at this moment, because he was shouldering a mission that was more important than anyone else... He slowly said, "Elder, I..." "Elder, I understand your respect for tradition, but reality no longer allows us to stick to the old ways." Although Chu Feng's voice was not loud, it was extremely firm, as unshakable as a rock.

"Evil spirit intrusions are becoming increasingly frequent, and the number of casualties is rising. We can no longer sit idly by!"

He pointed at the bloodstains on the ground and said in a heavy voice, "This is the blood of our brothers and sisters! They paid the price of their lives to protect this world. Do we want to let more people sacrifice?"

Chu Feng paused, his eyes sweeping over everyone present. "Scholar Zheng also said that closing the door to the spirit world is theoretically feasible. Why don't we give it a try? Do we have to wait until the evil spirits completely devour the living world before we regret it?"

His clear and logical analysis caused some of the Night Watchmen who originally supported Elder Wu to begin to waver.

Guo Shouren's eyes flickered and his lips trembled slightly, as if he was struggling internally.

At this moment, a powerful spiritual energy wave swept over, and the air solidified instantly, making it so oppressive that it made people breathless.

The messenger from the spiritual world slowly appeared in front of everyone, surrounded by a faint blue light, like a ghost from hell.

"Close the gate to the spirit world?" The spirit world messenger sneered contemptuously, his voice as cold as ice. "Foolish mortals, how dare you attempt to block the power of the spirit world?"

The powerful aura he exuded instantly suppressed the entire audience. Even Elder Wu turned pale and did not dare to look him in the eyes.

The spiritual creatures behind the spiritual messenger roared excitedly, as if celebrating the upcoming killing.

Some of the Night Watchmen trembled with fear and instinctively took a few steps back. Night Watchman Guo turned pale and shouted in horror, "He... he's too powerful!"

Chu Feng felt tremendous pressure, but he did not back down.

He looked directly at the spirit world messenger, his eyes gleaming with determination.

He slowly clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.

"You..." Chu Feng spoke word by word, his voice trembling but full of unyielding will, "Don't even think about succeeding."

The pressure from the spiritual world messenger surged like a tide, making Chu Feng almost unable to breathe.

He gritted his teeth, his legs nailed to the ground, refusing to take a single step back.

Cold sweat slid down his forehead, but he still stared at the spirit world messenger stubbornly, without any fear in his eyes, only burning fighting spirit.

Pan Yue felt Chu Feng's body trembling. He quietly reached out and held Chu Feng's hand tightly.

A warm current came from the palm of his hand, flowing through Chu Feng's whole body, giving him great strength.

Chu Feng turned his head and smiled at Pan Yue, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Hmph, you overestimate your abilities." The spirit world messenger snorted contemptuously and increased the output of spiritual energy.

The air around them became more solemn, and some weaker Night's Watchmen even began to spit blood.

Guo Shouren's face turned pale as he collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself, "It's over, everything is over..."

Chu Feng felt suffocated and the world in front of him began to become blurry.

But he still held Pan Yue's hand tightly and refused to let go.

He knew that if he fell, no one would be able to stop the spirit messenger.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Chu Feng's mind.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and activated his ability to go back in time.

Time seemed to go back and he returned to the previous debate scene.

"Elder, I understand your respect for tradition, but..." Chu Feng's voice became more steady and powerful. "The invasion of evil spirits not only threatens our lives, but also threatens the beliefs we protect! If we don't even have the courage to try, then are we still worthy of being called Night's Watch?!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the crowd with determination. "Scholar Zheng also said that closing the gate to the spirit world is possible. Rather than sit and wait for death, why not give it a try? Rather than being bound by fear, why not take the initiative? We, the Night's Watch, will never bow to evil!"

These words are powerful and infectious.

Some of the originally hesitant night watchmen began to have a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Guo Shouren also got up from the ground, and his eyes were filled with renewed fighting spirit.

The spirit world messenger watched all this, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He slowly raised his hand...

The surprise in the spirit world messenger's eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by a deeper chill.

"You are so stubborn!" He growled, and the powerful spiritual pressure swept over again, even more violent than before.

Some wavering Night Watchmen began to waver again, and Elder Wu pointed at Chu Feng and shouted angrily: "You are pushing us all into the abyss!"

Chu Feng remained unmoved. He felt the power coming from Pan Yue's hands, and his heart became more determined.

He knew that there was only one chance to go back in time, and he had to seize it.

"Elder, we can no longer be controlled by fear! The invasion of spiritual creatures will destroy everything sooner or later. We must take the initiative!"

Psychic scholar Zheng also stood up at this moment. Although his voice was trembling, he still said: "Chu Feng is right. It is indeed theoretically possible to close the door to the spiritual world. We can't give up hope!" His words undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm, and more people began to stand on Chu Feng's side.

Guo Shouren even raised his arms and shouted: "I support Chu Feng! Instead of waiting to die, why not give it a try!"

Seeing the situation begin to reverse, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the spirit world messenger.

"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!" A black ball of energy condensed in his hand, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

The air around seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it made people feel breathless.

Chu Feng felt the threat of death, but he did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward and stood in front of everyone.

Pan Yue followed closely behind and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Chu Feng..."

The spirit world messenger laughed sinisterly and was about to throw the energy ball at Chu Feng when suddenly, an old voice rang out: "Stop!" The mysterious old man Xiao appeared in front of everyone at some point. He was leaning on a cane in his hand, staring at the spirit world messenger with a sharp gaze...
