"Caia, you've known me for quite some time. You should understand me." Jianchen slowly spoke after a moment of silence. His voice was filled with deep powerlessness.
Some things could not be stopped at all, such as Caia's feelings for him. Jianchen had no way of extinguishing them. Even now, he had no idea what to do.
He had always treated Caia as his best friend, even back on the Tian Yuan Continent. In particular, when he and Caia were forced to flee the Cloud Plane from Huai An's pursuit, the hardships and hardships they had gone through along the way had established a deep friendship between them.
Of course, this was only friendship.
However, it was exactly because of this friendship that he was unwilling to harm Caia in any way. However, he truly felt powerless when faced with Caia's feelings for him.
Caia was dejected. She did not look at Jianchen. Instead, she stared at the pitch-black outer space with gloomy eyes.
"Jianchen, do you think I'm not pretty enough?" Caia gently asked as she revealed her true feelings.
She had spoken the words that she had buried at the bottom of her heart for many years, causing the feelings that she had suppressed for many years to erupt like a volcano that had been suppressed for countless years.
At that moment, she seemed to have become fearless. She no longer felt bashful as a woman. She had become brave.
Jianchen gently sighed. Caia's sudden change had caught him off guard. Caught unprepared, he had no idea how to deal with it.
Even though Caia's appearance could not be described as alluring, she was still rather pretty. She was not as bad as he had imagined her to be.
Of course, at Jianchen's level of cultivation, he had seen through the essence of things long ago. He was no longer obsessed with appearances. No matter how pretty a person was, they were only pretty on the outside. Without their appearance, they were just a pile of skeletons.
As a result, at Jianchen's level of cultivation, he had already broken free from the worldview of ordinary people. There was no difference between beauty and ugliness.
Caia, on the other hand, was still obsessed with appearances despite being a Divine King. She valued her body. This made Jianchen realise just how deep Caia's feelings for him were.
This was because her feelings had blinded her, making her lose herself and unable to see through the essence of things.
"Jianchen, do you know that when I was heavily injured on the Tian Yuan Continent back then, my soul was damaged, causing me to fall unconscious for a very long time? You might have thought that I had lost all contact with the outside world after I fell unconscious, so I wouldn't know everything that had happened. " Caia turned her head and looked at Jianchen. Mixed feelings filled her face as she continued, "But in reality, it's the exact opposite. I know everything you did for me while I was unconscious. I even know that you went to the Yin Mountains of Sevens Despair and encountered the nine Divine King in the depths. You only managed to bring back a heavenly resource that could heal the soul, the Halcyon Heart Flower, after a close shave with you. As for me, it was because of the White Jade Spirit Platform Flower that I woke up from my coma. "
Caia spoke very softly. Her gaze towards Jianchen was filled with a gentleness that had never appeared in her eyes before.
Now that the final barrier in her heart had been pierced, she revealed her true feelings. She no longer hid them in the depths of her heart like before.
Jianchen was shocked when he heard Caia mention what happened in the Yin Mountains of Sevens Despair.
After all, Caia back then was not even at the Origin realm and was unconscious, yet she still knew about what happened in the Yin Mountains of Sevens Despair. This made him feel extremely uneasy.
Although Caia had displayed various extraordinary or even shocking abilities in the past few years, allowing Jianchen to guess that it was extremely likely that she was the reincarnation of an expert, it was impossible for her to know so many secrets at the level of a Holy Emperor.
This was because Fairy Haoyue was also the reincarnation of a Primordial realm expert from the Saints' World. However, even if Fairy Haoyue was at the level of a Holy Emperor, it was impossible for her to possess such heaven-defying abilities like Caia's.
"Is Caia the reincarnation of a peak Grand Prime?" Jianchen thought. However, he was puzzled at the same time.
Since she was reincarnated, why did Caia not show any signs of regaining her memories despite reaching the level of the Divine King?
This was clearly different from the Fairy Haoyue he had met and the founders of the ten protector clans on the Tian Yuan Continent.
Fairy Haoyue had reincarnated with all her memories, while the founders of the ten protector clans had reincarnated as well. Among them, Feng Xiaotian, Guihai Yidao, and Yang Lie had all regained their memories when they were at the level of the Holy Emperor.
Jianchen was filled with doubts, while Caia was brooding by herself. She was gloomy, and she was in low spirits. She said gently, "It was also from that moment onwards that your figure gradually imprinted itself into my heart, and it grew deeper and deeper. In fact, I can feel that you only have ordinary feelings of friendship for me, and there is no romantic feelings at all. Therefore, I can only bury the feelings I have for you in the deepest part of my heart, making it a secret that only I know. "
"Originally, I planned on hiding this secret for my entire life and never telling you. I just needed to be by your side and be able to see you from time to time. That would be enough. But now, I suddenly don't want to hide it anymore. I want you to know because I have a strong feeling that if I don't tell you now, I probably won't have another chance in the future … "
Caia's eyes gradually became moist when she reached there. Tears gathered and condensed into two crystalline teardrops in the end, slowly flowing down her cheeks.
There was one thing she did not explain to Jianchen, which was that she still had a strong feeling that she did not have much time left with Jianchen. It was as if she would part with Jianchen soon.
That parting might be permanent!
Jianchen naturally did not understand what Caia meant when she said that they would not have another chance in the future. It was a permanent parting. He fell into a long period of silence after hearing what Caia had to say.
Only after quite a while did he gently sigh, "Caia, we can only be normal friends."
Caia's heart gently trembled. She said nothing more. Instead, she stared at the vast space gloomily as she seemed rather miserable.
She already knew that this would be the outcome.
They remained silent for the rest of the journey. Jianchen's small spaceship fell into silence. Both he and Caia remained silent.
Before long, they arrived on the Star Brilliance Plane. As spaceships could only travel through outer space, the two of them stowed the spaceship away when they arrived on the Star Brilliance Plane. Afterwards, without any hesitation, they immediately flew towards the nearest city.
Very soon, Jianchen and Caia arrived in a bustling city. They immediately spent a large amount of money to investigate the location of the nearest teleportation formation that could cross planes.
Before long, Jianchen gained an even more detailed understanding of the Star Brilliance Plane. It was even more detailed than what he had learned from Sword Equality.
The Star Brilliance Plane was where the Nine Brilliance Star Lord cultivated. As a result, no one dared to establish an empire on the Star Brilliance Plane to show their respect to the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. No one dared to proclaim themselves as emperor. All the organisations of various sizes were scattered across the Star Brilliance Plane in the form of clans and sects.
The overall strength of the Star Brilliance Plane ranked towards the top of the forty-nine great planes of the Saints' World. It could be said that it was only second to the seven sacred planes. As a result, there were over a hundred teleportation formations on the Star Brilliance Plane. They were controlled by several dozen peak clans and sects.
Jianchen also learnt that the city he was currently in was actually controlled by a sect that only possessed Infinite Primes.
A sect like that could only be regarded as below average on the Star Brilliance Plane, so it was naturally impossible for them to possess a teleportation formation that could cross planes.
After asking around, Jianchen finally learnt that the nearest teleportation formation was within the territory of a peak sect called the Five Point sect.
Afterwards, he and Caia immediately travelled to the territory of the Five Point sect through the teleportation formation.
Just as Jianchen and Caia made their way to the Five Point sect, the space extremely far away from the Star Brilliance Plane distorted violently. A huge crack suddenly appeared, and the Elder of Mountains and Seas appeared there like a ghost.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately closed his eyes and used his innate ability to sense his surroundings. When he opened his eyes, they were cold.
"I've found you. That direction seems to be the Star Brilliance Plane. Hmph, don't even think about using the teleportation formation on the Star Brilliance Plane to flee! " The Elder of Mountains and Seas became worried. He did not dare to hesitate at all. With a single movement, he vanished, hurrying towards the Star Brilliance Plane as quickly as he could.
