"Gu Nan! These are all your choices, don't blame me for being heartless!"
"If I can become a god, why should I remain human?"
"You don't want the chance to become a god, but I do!"
Gu Nan lowered his head blankly, looking at the dagger that had already pierced his chest, and along the wound, dark red blood soaked his snow-white battle armor.
He looked up at the woman he had loved for more than ten years, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair.
"After your death! I will become a god in your place!"
The familiar voice echoed in his ears again.
Gu Nan felt his consciousness slowly blurring.
Even as he died, he couldn't understand.
Qin Mengyao.
The woman he had spent half his life deeply loving.
The woman he was once infatuated with!
Crazy for!
The woman he had risked everything for.
Yet, one day she would use a cold dagger to pierce his chest.
Gu Nan felt his consciousness growing more and more indistinct.
His body felt as if it were falling madly.
He felt as if he were in hell, sinking forever.
Until... his consciousness began to disappear.
As if he had fallen asleep.
..............................
"Gu Nan!"
"Let's break up."
The heart-wrenching pain still hadn't receded, and a familiar voice sounded again.
Gu Nan suddenly looked up, and a familiar yet strange figure appeared before him.
The surrounding area was bustling with traffic, the honking of cars, and hurrying pedestrians, making Gu Nan feel a little dazed for a moment.
What... was going on?
Hadn't the Ten Thousand Races Continent merged with Water Blue Star?
Why were there still so many modern things?
"Gu Nan, I'm a university student, and you haven't even graduated from high school. We're no longer in the same world."
"I'm very grateful for your dedication to me all these years."
"But, we really aren't suitable."
Snapping out of his daze, he looked at the much younger Qin Mengyao in front of him, and then at the surrounding environment.
Gu Nan felt a strange sense of familiarity.
In an instant.
A long-lost memory flooded his mind.
This scene... wasn't it the time Qin Mengyao, after graduation and at the instigation of her best friend, actively broke up with him?
That day... seemed to be the day the Ten Thousand Races Continent launched.
At that time, he was too heartbroken and missed the opportunity to be among the first batch of registered players for the Ten Thousand Races Continent.
It wasn't until a week later that he entered the Ten Thousand Races Continent.
At this time, no one knew that the game, Ten Thousand Races Continent, would merge with Water Blue Star in the future.
And become the new frontier where all races would compete.
Gu Nan surveyed his surroundings again.
A question surged into his mind.
So...
Am I...?
Reborn?
"Gu Nan!"
"I know you're good to me and like me, but I've always just seen you as an older brother."
"If you don't mind, I'll still be your younger sister in the future."
"No!"
Gu Nan, having come back to his senses, immediately shook his head and said, "Absolutely not!
You want to break up, don't you?
I agree."
What the hell kind of sister?
Only a fool would want to be your brother!
Damn it.
It's only because Water Blue Star hasn't merged with the Ten Thousand Races Continent yet, that modern law saved you.
Otherwise, after my rebirth, the first knife would be aimed at you.
However...
There's always tomorrow.
Since I can't kill you yet, I'll play with you slowly.
In this life, I won't let you have an easy time!
Betraying me, betraying the country and the nation!
National and personal hatred, absolutely unforgivable!
"Really?"
Qin Mengyao had expected Gu Nan to pester her for a while, and she was still racking her brain on how to make Gu Nan agree to break up.
But unexpectedly, Gu Nan agreed directly.
For a moment, Qin Mengyao's eyes began to sparkle.
In fact, in his previous life, Gu Nan did pester Qin Mengyao for a few days after she proposed breaking up.
To force Gu Nan to back down, Qin Mengyao set a condition of earning five hundred thousand within a month.
After graduating from high school, Gu Nan accidentally got into online games.
With his extreme talent, he became a top-tier booster.
Even so, his annual income didn't reach five hundred thousand.
Qin Mengyao setting such a condition was clearly making things difficult for Gu Nan.
But the Gu Nan of that year naively agreed.
And, relying on the Ten Thousand Races Continent, he actually earned five hundred thousand within a month.
Later, as the Ten Thousand Races Continent became more and more popular, Gu Nan, with his exceptional gaming talent, quickly ascended to the top tier in the country.
His monthly income was in the millions.
His net worth naturally rose, and Qin Mengyao's every desire could basically be fulfilled.
She no longer had any thoughts of breaking up.
Thinking back now, if it weren't for the Ten Thousand Races Continent.
If he hadn't earned five hundred thousand in the Ten Thousand Races Continent within a month, his relationship with Qin Mengyao might have ended there.
Reborn, looking at this experience from an outsider's perspective.
He just wanted to tell himself one thing—you are a damn big idiot!
"Really."
Gu Nan nodded without hesitation: "However, since we've already broken up.
Shouldn't you return the money I spent on your education all these years?"
"Gu Nan, are you still a man?"
Before Qin Mengyao could speak, Zheng Yueying, her best friend standing beside her, angrily said, "That was normal expenditure during your relationship with our Mengyao.
What right do you have to ask our Mengyao for it?
From childhood to adulthood, I've never seen such a petty man like you."
"Petty?"
Gu Nan laughed: "From high school onwards, her tuition and living expenses were all paid by me.
The bags she carries, the car she drives now, were all bought by me.
Even her underwear was paid for with my money.
All in all, it's over one point eighty million, isn't it?
Anyone with a shred of decency wouldn't call me petty."
"Gu Nan, I'm so disappointed in you."
Qin Mengyao looked at Gu Nan with a disappointed expression: "Do you only see money?
Don't you see me at all?
You're terribly vulgar now!
If that's the case, I'll pay this money."
"You said it."
Gu Nan took out his phone, shook it, and grinned mischievously: "I've recorded it, and this has legal effect.
You've spent one point eighty-six million of my money all these years.
This is only the money I transferred to you directly, not including the money for your bags, cosmetics, jewelry, and car.
I won't ask for the things I voluntarily gave you.
For the one point eighty-six million I transferred to you, let's round it down. Just transfer one point eighty million to me.
Now, do you want to pay in cash or by transfer?"
Hearing the figure of one point eighty million, Qin Mengyao was also stunned.
She hadn't even realized that Gu Nan had spent so much money on her over the years.
"Gu Nan, are you even a man? How can you shamelessly ask Yaoyao for such a small amount of money?"
This time, the one cursing Gu Nan was Qin Mengyao's university classmate and her male best friend, Gao Dongliang.
This guy was also a rich second-generation, with assets worth billions.
In his previous life, Gao Dongliang was also among the first to enter the Ten Thousand Races Continent.
Relying on his financial power, he established the Arrogant Guild.
With the backing of capital, plus an early entry time, he had a first-mover advantage.
After the Ten Thousand Races Continent merged with Water Blue Star, the Arrogant Guild successfully became one of the Ten Great Guilds of China.
After the Ten Thousand Races Continent War began, China was besieged by multiple countries, including Sakura, America, South Korea, Australia, and Maple Leaf Country.
Gao Dongliang, stationed on the southeastern front, led the Arrogant Guild and surrendered without a fight.
Millions of Chinese people were brutally massacred by Sakura, and large areas of territory fell into enemy hands.
