"..."
Gu Shen looked at the "self" before him with an expressionless face.
The Heart Lake showed no abnormalities.
The nine Heart Flow Powers were operating, ancient scripts continuously leaping into the Heart Lake.
"You are not me."
Gu Shen shook his head and let go of his hand.
The "Gu Shen in the lake" that had been lifted up fell down, but instead of sinking, it sat on the lake surface, smiling at Gu Shen.
"Why?"
The Gu Shen in the lake spoke with a smile, sitting cross-legged, unbothered by his disheveled state, eyes full of anticipation.
Gu Shen slowly walked onto the lake.
He looked beneath himself... neither his real self nor his mirrored self had a shadow.
"It's simple, because this is my 'Spiritual World.' If I say there is, then there is; if I say there isn't, then there isn't."
Gu Shen sat before the false self, saying word by word, "So... if I say you are not me, then you are not me."
"Then."
