As An Qingyu finished speaking, the remaining blood of the twelve divine beasts remaining on the surface of the Door of Truth immediately penetrated into the inside of the door and disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, countless tentacles flowing with starlight extended from the gaps in the Door of Truth.

These tentacles are made of unknown things, like a condensed body of the boundless universe, magnificent and vast. They pass through the dense fog in the sky and slowly stretch out towards the Anqing fish under the door.

An Qingyu just stood there quietly, without any intention of dodge, and allowed these starlight tentacles to wrap around it.

These tentacles surrounded him, filling the world with endless murmurs. One of the tiniest starlight tentacles slowly swept downwards from the top of An Qingyu's head...

It first paused for a moment between An Qingyu's eyebrows, and then moved in front of the pair of gray eyes. The sharp ends of its tentacles pressed against the surface of the eyeballs. As long as there was any more energy, the eyes could be dug out.

The gray eyes clearly reflected the shadow of the tentacles, without showing any fear. The Anqingyu was as motionless as a stone sculpture.

But the tentacle hesitated for a moment, and still did not dig out the eyes, but continued downward...

Ears, nose, mouth, throat,

I don't know whether it was because he felt the price was not enough or for some other reason, but the tentacles circled An Qingyu's body and returned to the center of his eyebrows.

With the end of the tentacle gently tapping between the eyebrows, an ethereal soul was drawn out by it,

The moment the soul body appeared, several other tentacles immediately entangled it. An Qingyu's body shook violently, and his face turned extremely pale.

"Is the price 'emotion'..."

An emotional fluctuation finally appeared on An Qingyu's face, and he frowned, as if he was hesitating.

But in the end, he made up his mind,

"Okay, deal."

As the words fell, the tentacles entrenched on his soul body began to suck hard, as if something was being sucked out of the soul body, flowing along the tentacles into the door that towered above the sky and the earth.

A look of pain appeared on An Qingyu's face.

When Lin Qiye saw this, his face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice:

"The Gate of Truth is not from this world. Are you sure the price it pays is reasonable?"

"Nothing is closer to absolute fairness than the Gate of Truth." Yu Er replied.

"But even if you give up your feelings in exchange for Jiang Er...by then, you will not feel the existence of love. Have you ever thought that even if she is really alive by then, seeing you like this,

What will happen?"

Yu Er and Yu Si fell into silence at the same time. After an unknown amount of time, Yu Si slowly said:

"It's not something you need to worry about."

Lin Qiye frowned and was about to say something else when a muffled groan came from mid-air.

The starlight tentacles wrapped around the soul body were basically spread out, and the translucent soul body weakly fell back to An Qingyu's body. The latter's eyes opened, revealing unprecedented emptiness and exhaustion.

An Qingyu looked down at his hands, his pale face full of unfamiliarity, as if he was seeing his own body for the first time.

"Losing emotion... turns out this is what it feels like." An Qingyu murmured to himself.

He looked up at the Gate of Truth. At this moment, those starlight tentacles that had swallowed up An Qingyu's emotions still did not leave. Instead, they continued to linger by his side.

They seemed to be examining the Anqingyu, wanting to see if there was anything valuable in it.

An Qingyu's brows furrowed more and more tightly,

"It's not enough to take away the emotion? What else do you want?"

One of the tentacles raised up and pointed at Anqingyu's eyes, ears, nose, mouth...

An Qingyu's eyes narrowed slightly. Only then did he know the true intention of those tentacles crawling across his face in the first place.

From the very beginning, they were not thinking about which part to take as the price, but rather weighing whether the sum of all these things was enough to pay the price.

In their view, if they want to resurrect Jiang Er, who turned into a magnetic field and lost his soul four years ago, it is not enough to just pay "emotion".

An Qingyu stared at the starlight tentacles in front of him, clenched his fists, and after a moment, slowly released them.

Now, he has lost all emotions, and he doesn't know if he would be angry at the tentacles in front of him if he still had emotions!

This time, he remained silent for dozens of seconds.

Finally, I closed my eyes again,

"You can take the rest if you want, but remember to leave your life to me... I still have some things that I haven't finished yet."

With An Qingyu's permission, those starlight tentacles suddenly became active again, swarming towards An Qingyu's body!

Just when they were about to touch the Anqing fish, a crisp knife sound sounded!

Clang——!!

A wisp of sword light penetrated the void, accurately slashed at the ends of the tentacles at the front, and cut off a large section of them!

Mysterious starlight flowed from the wounds of the tentacles. After the knife was cut, all the tentacles turned at the same time and locked onto the crimson figure on the edge of Erhai Lake.

Lin Qiye held [Zhan Bai] in his hand and stared at the tentacles in mid-air, his eyes full of anger.

Yu Er and Yu Si didn't seem to expect that Lin Qiye would suddenly take action. Only then did they react. The lightning around them lit up again, and they jointly rushed towards Lin Qiye who was holding the knife!

Lin Qiye had no intention of entangled with them. A glimmer of light flashed from the blade of the [Zhanbai] blade, which immediately decomposed into a mysterious purple light and was absorbed into his body.

【Hand of Royal Power】!

Before the two artificial gods could touch Lin Qiye, he directly penetrated the space and disappeared.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived above An Qingyu. The magnificent Gate of Truth stood in front of him, and countless starlight tentacles were gathering together angrily, as if he wanted to teach this guy who interfered with the "exchange" a lesson.

.

An Qingyu looked up at him and said calmly:

"Why did you interrupt me?"

"What is the difference between you now and the fish meat that is still being slaughtered on the felt board?" Lin Qiye said in a deep voice, "It wants to take away your emotions in the first place in order to deprive you of your anger. Only in this way can it succeed.

It eats up everything about you step by step..."

"You don't understand." An Qingyu shook his head, "The Gate of Truth is an absolutely fair and neutral existence, and the price it demands is equivalent to the goal of exchange."

"Then did it tell you where the upper limit of this price is?"

"……What's the meaning?"

"It only tells you that the price is not enough after it takes away your emotions, isn't it?" Lin Qiye asked back, "If you give it everything except your life now, and then it tells you that the price is not enough...

…what should you do?

But at that time, you have lost everything, do you want to give it the price of your remaining life? What if it is not enough? You are all dead, but the exchange is not completed. Guess who is the final beneficiary?

Even if the price it asks for is absolutely fair, the way it pays for it is any different from a scam?"
