Jetton.

Hearing this name from Alex, Gou Liang frowned.

"What does it have to do with him?" Gou Liang was shocked when he thought of how he was injured by him, "Is he the one who hurt you?"

Because there was no evidence, and he was also worried that Jetton was Alex's son, he was afraid that if he rashly accused Jetton, it would make things difficult for Alex, or even cause him to abandon him. Gou Liang had been holding back. But if he dared to harm Alex, he would never let him go.

His clear black eyes could not hide any thoughts, and Alex could easily see through his thoughts. He caught a flash of hostility and killing intent that did not belong to the God of Light in his eyes, and Alex only felt refreshed.

He lifted Gou Liang's chin and looked at his soul that was being infected by human nature. He shook his head and smiled, "He doesn't have this ability yet."

"Do you know that Jetton is practicing dark magic?" Gou Liang was shocked. He wanted to ask if he knew that he was plotting against him, but he swallowed the words back. Carefully looking at Alex, Gou Liang asked hesitantly, "Father, then you … why didn't you stop him?"

"Why should I stop him?"

Alex did not care. "He is just like his birth mother, born to belong to the darkness. This is his destiny, and no one can change it. "

Seeing that Gou Liang was full of doubts but did not dare to ask, Alex considerately told him the truth that had been covered in dust for many years.

Alex: "Seventeen years ago, I was attacked by dark magic on the ancient battlefield, and I brought something out of it. It was a piece of the skeleton of the God of Darkness. "

His fingers slowly stroked back and forth along the delicate outline of Gou Liang's face. The smile on his face deepened, and his tone was casual, but the words in his words were shocking.

"What!"

The God of Darkness had long fallen in the Great War of Gods and Devils in ancient times. Before the God of Light returned to the altar, he had left a warning that the God of Darkness would one day return to the world in an unexpected way. Therefore, for thousands of years, humans had never dared to slack off on the practice of magic.

Now that his skeleton had reappeared in the world, it was very likely that the God of Darkness would reincarnate.

Was Jetton the reincarnation of the God of Darkness?

Thinking of this possibility, Gou Liang was shocked and asked anxiously, "Then what happened?"

Alex leisurely played with his chin, as if the thrilling words had never existed, and he was just narrating a story that had nothing to do with him.

He continued, "I originally planned to use a forbidden spell, using my essence blood to transfer my dark magic to that skeleton. But when I was casting the spell, I was ambushed by a witch who was waiting for an opportunity to snatch the treasure. She took away the bones that were stained with my blood essence. "

"Witch? Could she be … "The one who resurrected the God of Darkness and brought Jetton back to the human world?

Gou Liang looked at Alex in disbelief.

Alex nodded, confirming his guess.

"Yes, she is Jetton's biological mother. That ambitious but stupid witch became a sacrifice to the God of Darkness and gave birth to Jetton. My essence blood and the skeleton of the God of Darkness have fused together. Whether he is the reincarnation of the God of Darkness or not, there is only one way to remove the dark magic in my body. And that is … "

Alex subtly paused and looked at Gou Liang's nervous expression. He chuckled and said, "Merge my soul with Jetton's body made from the skeleton of the God of Darkness."

"The only way is to fall into the abyss and become the servant of the God of Darkness. Otherwise, I will die."

Gou Liang's expression changed greatly.

Alex's bewitchment continued, "Although Jetton is very likely to be the reincarnation of the God of Darkness, he has fused with my essence blood and is my child, a living person. If you want to save me, you have to make him pay with his life, or even devour his soul. I really can't bear to do that. "

"He came from me and should have lived a good life, but unfortunately, he is a servant of the God of Darkness, and I can't treat him well."

"Now that I am about to die, he has been a humble slave for fifteen years and has suffered a lot. I think his punishment should be over, so I will bring him back. At least before I die, I will do my duty as a father. As for what will happen in the future, at that time, I will already … not be able to care so much. "

Gou Liang opened his mouth, and the struggle in his eyes became more and more intense.

Of course, he wanted to save Alex, but the kind-hearted him could not calmly persuade his father to devour his child in order to survive.

Moreover, he did not want Alex to become a slave of the God of Darkness, which was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. Maybe after solving the current predicament, there would be more unexpected trouble waiting for them.

He was also afraid that Alex would resent him.

But … if he did not do so, Alex would die.

What was more important than his life?

Alex watched him struggle with his hypocrisy, and had already predicted what decision he would make. However, he found it interesting to watch Gou Liang face his own despicableness, the selfishness and cruelty hidden in the depths of his soul, and the painful appearance of tearing off his hypocritical mask with his own hands.

"Father has tasted the most bitter wine in the world in his life, and has also enjoyed the most luxurious life. There is nothing to regret. It is a pity that Jetton's soul, like his biological mother's, has been stained by darkness … Les, my dear child, in fact, I know all the harm he has done to you over the years. "

Seeing Gou Liang looking at him in astonishment, and a trace of pain appeared in his pupils that condensed black mist, Alex's mouth slightly curved.

He ignored it and said in the same tone, "It was he who used a curse to take away your talent and wisdom, and he also used dark magic to kill you several times. Do you blame father for not protecting you and not punishing Jetton? "

"No!" Gou Liang said anxiously, "I have never blamed your father. No matter what decision you make, you must have your reasons. I just want to follow you and stay by your side …"

"Shh, don't worry, I believe you."

Alex said, "It doesn't make sense to say this now. After I die, leave the castle, go as far as you can, and don't come back. "

"No, father, you said you wouldn't drive me away. I don't want to go, I don't want to … "

Gou Liang held back his tears and looked at him pleadingly.

However, Alex just looked down at him, as if looking at a child who was angry and confused. He was gentle and compassionate, and didn't give him a promise like before.

No, I won't accept it!

No matter what, I won't let you die.

Never.

The black mist condensed in his eyes became thicker. Like Alex, the soul Les watched him walk to the edge of the cliff. In front of him was a bottomless abyss, and the demon laughed wildly in the abyss, tempting and welcoming the new fallen soul to join their camp.

As long as he took one step, he would fall into the abyss.

Les shouted mournfully, trying to wake him up: Don't listen to his lies!

He is a demon like Jetton. No, no, he is more terrible than Jetton! He is deceiving you. He wants you to send Jetton to him with your own hands, make you his accomplice, and drag you to hell!

Stupid, pitiful creature, wake up, don't promise him, don't!

Gou Liang didn't speak. He just clenched his fists, accepted the invitation of the God of Darkness, and took the first step of his fall without hesitation.

*

"Chris, where are father and Les, answer me!"

Jaden looked at Chris with a gloomy face.

He was fed up with everyone's sympathetic eyes!

The news that Gou Liang had become a great magician was announced to the whole magic continent when they left the magic tower.

A seventeen-year-old great magician caused a sensation. After many years, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Duke Alex's mansion.

Walking on the road, people were talking about how the child raised by Duke Alex was really extraordinary. When it came to Gou Liang, it was full of praise, as if they were kissing the instep of the statue of the God of Light in the church.

And he, the son of the great magician Duke Alex, became a pitiful creature in people's eyes.

Gou Liang was the sun in the sky. He was so small in front of the dazzling light of the other side, so dim that it was not worth mentioning. Even if he had the blood of Alex, no one had any expectations for him. Those who followed him knew very well that he was not friendly to his adopted brother. They kept a distance from him, for fear of being implicated by him and making the great magician unhappy.

Whether it was Alex's property or status, he lost the qualification to compete with Gou Liang overnight.

But Jetton was not willing to admit defeat like this. He had not lost yet!

Even if he was a great magician, power and status could only be enjoyed by the living. As long as he was dead, what could he compete with him?

Jetton decided to use the most vicious curse left by the witch. He wanted to die in the ugliest way when Gou Liang was praised by thousands of people.

Yes, he, like everyone else, thought that Alex would hold a grand banquet to celebrate Gou Liang. The sisters in Baron Aldrich's mansion had already prepared the most beautiful dresses, and planned to attend the banquet. After Gou Liang fell from being the only son of Duke Alex to a man whose father was unknown, they once again looked forward to marrying him in the future.

However, the castle did not send anyone an invitation.

This was too surprising. Those who took the initiative to congratulate were even turned away.

And Jetton, who was the second best, also did not know anything.

After waiting for a month, Jetton finally could not hold back and went to find his father's right-hand man, Chris.

"I'm sorry, young master, I have no comment."

Chris's expression was as respectful as usual, and his reply did not change.

"No comment? I've had enough of your 'no comment'! " Jetton roared out uncontrollably. The gentlemanly upbringing that he had painstakingly insisted on after entering the castle was thrown to the back of his mind. "Am I still a member of this family? You don't tell me anything, you hide everything from me! What do you think I am? "

Chris looked at him awkwardly. "Young master, please pay attention to your wording."

Jetton was furious. "Don't talk nonsense, I must see my father today!"

Chris was about to refuse, but Gou Liang's long-lost voice suddenly came from the headset he wore. "Chris, bring him here, father wants to see him."

Jetton finally got what he wanted. Chris stopped in front of the corridor and bowed. "Young master, the Duke and the young master are in the bedroom, please."

Jetton strode through the corridor covered with a soft red carpet. His footsteps became faster and faster, and finally he simply trotted.

He pushed open the door of the bedroom. "Father, you called me —"

Before his smile could spread, Jetton's eyes suddenly slackened, and he fell to the ground without warning.

The black-haired and black-eyed Gou Liang appeared in front of him. He looked down at Jetton for a moment, and then bent down to drag the unconscious Jetton into the bedroom. The door was closed, blocking the dim room with candles.

The smell of burning candles in the room was so strong that it made people uncomfortable, but they still stubbornly burned, trying to cover up a more pungent smell.

Alex was lying on the bed, his expression peaceful, with a careless smile that Gou Liang often saw.

However, when he lifted the quilt, the decay that had spread to the skin could not be hidden.

A month had passed, and without the light magic treatment of Gou Liang, Alex's body was completely dying.

He saw with his own eyes Alex endure the pain that ordinary people could not endure, and heard him say that he had no attachment to the world … It turned out that he had no expectations for this world. He used to look up at the extravagance of the nobles in the abyss of hell, and he thought that was what he wanted. But when he stood at the top and looked down at these people, he realized that the scenery in the sky was not as beautiful as what he saw in the quagmire, and it was even uglier.

Gou Liang never knew that his father, who had always been calm and aloof, would be so pessimistic towards people.

He stayed by Alex's side, and no matter how hard he tried to persuade Alex to stay, Alex still lost consciousness a minute ago.

It wouldn't be long before his breathing, his warmth, all of it would disappear in his sleep.

Gou Liang put Jetton's living body beside Alex and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I have no choice."

The candles in the room flickered for a moment, and he opened his mouth. He, who had never recited a spell, opened his mouth and chanted:

"Your Excellency, the Night God sleeping in the abyss, please listen to my prayer. I'm willing to pay the price of my soul to ask you to fulfill my wish."

The Night God, the God of Darkness.

He was actually praying to the God of Darkness, and he was using dark magic!

The dark magic staff was ignited, and the altar that Gou Liang had prepared for a whole month was lit up with a faint blue light in the dusk.

The forbidden spell was activated, and Alex and Jetton, who were lying quietly on the bed, floated up. Gou Liang cut his palm, and with his blood as a sacrifice, he chanted again, "I'm willing to be the neighbor of darkness, and accompany Your Excellency, the Night God. My soul belongs to you, and I'll obey you …"

Gou Liang only felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, and a black mark flashed on his forehead. As he chanted the spell, it slowly drew a mysterious and ancient pattern.

The deal was completed!

Gou Liang's lips were also plated with black, and black lines appeared at the corner of his eyes, converging into the totem of the God of Darkness, adding a touch of coquettishness to his delicate and beautiful face.

Gou Liang dissolved the lifeline in the palms of Alex and Jetton, and a black mist gushed out from Jetton's hand. He let out an extremely painful scream, and suddenly opened his eyes.

His dark brown eyes turned black at a very fast speed, and his silver-white hair, which he inherited from his mother, was instantly dyed black.

Gou Liang said, "With my body, this soul, I hope that the disease will stay away from my father. God of Darkness, please protect his soul and prevent it from being disturbed … "

"Ah!!"

As if something was tearing his soul apart, Jadon's face was contorted in pain. He let out a muffled cry, trying to stop something, but he could only feel himself being strangled and devoured.

A strange and powerful force that made his hair stand on end rose and fell in his body, washing away the weak flesh and bones of human beings. He became a bloody mess, but was quickly restored, reshaping a tougher body. The light in his eyes was eroded and became sluggish, but at the moment when it completely disappeared, it condensed again.

Godhood, rebirth.

As the last spell fell, the staff in Gou Liang's hand suddenly shattered, sweeping through Alex's body. Before Gou Liang could react, the broken and old body was burned to ashes. At the same time, Jetton's body fell back to the bed.

"Father!!"

Gou Liang reached out to grab it, but the ashes that fell into his hand instantly turned cold, and the second they touched his skin, they turned into finer black powder.

"Father …"

Gou Liang choked out, and when he heard Jetton's slight sound, he remembered him and rushed to him.

"Father, wake up, wake up!"

Gou Liang held his face. In the process of the forbidden spell for half an hour, his appearance had become more mature, his facial features more three-dimensional, his outline deeper, and he had grown taller. He had completely become a mature man, taking off all the immaturity that belonged to a teenager.

Alex opened his eyes, and what he saw was Gou Liang's snow-white face and the striking black mark on his forehead.

That was the mark that belonged to him.

It was actually engraved on the soul of the holy God of Light.

He couldn't believe it, and raised his hand to touch the lines on his forehead. His eyes were dark and unclear, and there was no smile on his face.

Gou Liang asked him carefully, "Father … is it you?"

"You did it in the end."

You belong to me in the end.

Gou Liang laughed, "I don't regret it, father. No matter what happens in the future, I will never regret it."

His voice became weaker and weaker, and the overdraft of magic made him unable to support himself any longer, and he fell on Alex's body. Alex got up and looked at Gou Liang with infatuation. He lowered his head, and his cold lips were pressed between Gou Liang's eyebrows. The corners of his mouth rose, and he laughed silently.

[Ding, the target's favorability has been updated. Current favorability: 80!]

"Dear God of Light, I'm really looking forward to the day when you become an adult." Alex gently hugged him, and his fingers touched Gou Liang's black lips. Wherever his fingers passed, black magic overflowed, and Gou Liang's lips regained their rosy color.

Alex looked at him quietly, and after a long while, he kissed him on the lips.

— — Not enough, it was far from enough.
