Chapter 661 I will use all of my strength
Chapter 661 I will use all of my strength
Jiang Liqian's eyes widened suddenly, and then she finally understood something, muttering, "Because I didn't become the sect leader's disciple, and I didn't follow the script of Heaven's will, so, so... in this life, my master, senior brothers, senior sisters, parents, brothers... they, they..."
They all died tragically in front of her.
Heaven's way is aloof and unyielding; as long as she does not yield, it will make her suffer this heart-wrenching pain again and again.
It was tormenting her.
It was warning her.
But why?
Why should she be a stepping stone for the god to overcome his tribulation, willingly dying for him? Why should her closest relatives and friends, and all the other living beings in this world, become dust under the god's "compassion"? Why should heaven and earth give birth to them, yet preordain their fate of destruction from the very beginning?
Why is it that even if she sacrifices herself and follows the will of Heaven, the common people she cares about still have to die?
Are her will, their will, not seen, not permitted?
If God wants to save the world, why won't He include them all?
A fire burned fiercely in Jiang Liqian's heart, growing stronger and more painful, as if it would burn away all her internal organs.
She was shocked.
Shock was mixed with anger and hatred.
Even if they are all ants, they should still have a chance to survive, shouldn't they?!
Her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white, veins bulged on her forehead, and her chest heaved violently as her anger intensified. Suddenly, she summoned the Heavenly Sword, rose into the air, and slashed fiercely down at the bamboo slip.
The bamboo slip phantom shattered instantly.
"Since Heaven is going to destroy us, we should no longer believe in this bullshit Heaven!"
"I do not believe that we cannot change the sky above us with our own strength, so that it can be used for our own purposes, and according to our simple and beautiful wishes, protect the people of this land of China."
"Even if we still have to die in the end, at least we will die a worthy death, a death with value, so that this world will know our anger and our beliefs!"
Shi Yunyu stared blankly at her, her eyes filled with confusion.
To him, her words were nothing short of outrageous.
The Heavenly Dao is the master he believes in, and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was born because of this. As a servant of the Heavenly Dao, how dare he rebel against his master?
Moreover, it was murder and betrayal of the master, pulling him down from his high, all-powerful throne.
"Heaven doesn't care about the cries of ants..." he said blankly.
"We just need to care about ourselves!"
Shi Yunyu bit her lip tightly.
“You waited for me because you thought the same thing, didn’t you?” Jiang Liqian moved closer to him. “Shi Yunyu, the youngest and most talented young master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, tell me how to change fate and save the world.”
Shi Yunyu turned around and looked up at the boundless, vast starry sky. Jiang Liqian remained silent, waiting quietly beside her.
Everyone needs to make a decision.
Even ants preparing for a desperate fight are included.
Are you really sure?
"If we remain obstinate, Heaven's punishment will only be more severe, Jiang Liqian. You cannot imagine how it will treat you. To have nothing is already showing you mercy. It may even unknowingly and completely destroy your Dao heart, erasing even your thoughts of resisting Heaven. You will no longer remember why you came into this world. You will bring about your own destruction."
Are you really sure? Are you really—ready to bear the consequences?
Jiang Liqian lowered her eyes and stared intently at the Shitian Sword in her hand. The sword spirit sensed the fear and excitement in her heart and trembled and hummed.
A smile quickly crossed her lips, and her eyes were no longer lost.
Yes, no matter when or where, with a sword in hand, she can keep going.
"I can."
-
Shi Yunyu asked Jiang Liqian to leave the Yin-Yang Pavilion. Three years later, Shi Yunyu walked out of it.
He was emaciated and staggered, but the white silk covering his eyes remained clean and neat, pure white as snow.
Jiang Liqian waited for him outside the Yinguo Pavilion for three years. When she first saw him, he shook his head at her, signaling her to keep quiet.
The next moment, he waved his hand, and the two of them immediately arrived at a chaotic place. He placed two fingers on her forehead, and a piece of text slowly appeared in her mind.
He summoned the divine artifacts of the ten directions to annihilate the heavens and destroy the Dao.
Remnant Heaven Bell, Kunlun Seal, Jianmu Branch, Exquisite Heart, Blood God Jade
Mysterious Dark Water, Nine Heavens Thunder Wheel, Thousand Prism Mirror, Cave Heaven Stone
Human bones.
Jiang Liqian looked up, using his fingertips as a medium to connect with his thoughts.
What are human bones?
Shi Yunyu's lips moved slightly, and she replied with a few words.
【When you come to scold me again, I'll tell you.】
Can't I say it now?
【Li Qian, to find these divine artifacts, luck and patience are not enough. You also need the ability to gain their approval, and—almost endless time.】
[Divine artifacts recognize their masters only through a life-saver; this takes a very long time, requiring a long life of your own. You...]
[Divine artifacts are unaffected by time and space. I can immerse myself in repeated cycles of reincarnation, searching for and sacrificing myself for these artifacts within the ever-evolving timeline.]
Just like your rebirth in this life.
【……yes. 】
Shi Yunyu raised his head slightly. Although he no longer had eyes, his gaze still landed precisely on her.
Do you know who gave you a second chance at life? Have you ever thought about how cruel you are to them by doing this?
Are you so sure he'll keep replaying this timeline for you? How long can he bear to see you perish before his eyes time and time again?
Jiang Liqian did not give him that answer.
She admitted that she was really cruel and selfish to Xu Youan; the moment she made the decision, she had already decided to use him.
His love, his tolerance, his repeated pursuit.
These were all the assets she squandered recklessly.
If they were just strangers, their pain might be much less.
If they didn't have such deep feelings for each other, she might have hesitated when making a decision.
But there are no "what ifs," and she firmly believes that Xu Youan will follow in her footsteps and plunge into the cycle of suffering without hesitation.
In the endless abyss, he will fall with her.
I will repay him with everything I have.
The heartless are always troubled by the affectionate; the affectionate are the heartless ones.
She had no other choice but to accept that things had come to this point.
Even with her eyes covered by white silk, the smell of blood still lingered in Shi Yunyu's nostrils. Behind her, on that distant battlefield between immortals and demons, tens of thousands of people were struggling between life and death. Every second of hesitation meant the death of countless others. The honor of the Tianqian Sect, the sacrifices of her master and fellow disciples... These were the driving force that spurred her forward, but also the heavy responsibility that was suffocating her.
She really had no choice.
