"Die? Why do you want to die? I went through so much trouble to find you and you say you want to die … What do you take me for?! " Chu Jingtian grabbed hold of Cold Cliffs's body and lifted him into the air as he screamed at the top of his lungs. He knew why he chose to die … He wanted to atone for killing the black bear, for hurting his friend and for destroying his beloved sword.
Ye Wuchen patted Chu Jingtian's shoulder and shook his head, "Don't stop him, let him make his own choice … Cold Cliffs, before you die, allow me to bring you to a place. Whether you choose to live or die, it's all up to you. No one will interfere."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of white light enveloped the four of them. The space around them changed, and when they reappeared, the scene was still that of a vast moonlit night. The most eye-catching thing was a small grave that protruded out of the ground, and in front of the grave was a tombstone that wasn't too wide.
Looking at the grave that he had dug up with his bare hands and the words that he had carved on the tombstone with his fingers, he, who had been thought by almost everyone to have lost all his emotions, shivered as if he was shivering in the cold wind.
"Before you die, ask your Ping 'er for her permission first. Back then, she used her own life to save yours. Now, you are prepared to end Ping 'er's life … Fine, I won't stop you. Big Brother Chu won't stop you either. Since you don't want to live for Ping' er or live for her, no one will interfere with your freedom. "
Ding!
The Wind Breaking Blade that Ye Wuchen kept in his hand was thrown in front of Cold Cliffs. It landed on a small pebble and made a crisp sound.
Chu Jingtian heaved a sigh of relief. From Cold Cliffs's emotions, he knew that Cold Cliffs would not seek death … As long as a person is alive, no one will ever lose all their emotions. Leng Ya's coldness towards everything was not because he was heartless. It was because of one person's heart that caused him to freeze in despair … that person was Ping 'er.
In the chilly night, Leng Ya silently knelt down before Ping 'er's grave and did not say a word for a long time. Ye Wuchen and Chu Jingtian did not break the silence. They stared at the Cold Cliffs who had finally returned.
He, Leng Ya, was 22 years old this year. At such an age, he had not even lived half of his life, but he had experienced too many ups and downs. He was like an abandoned child who had been abandoned by the heavens, and had walked through all kinds of hardships and pain. He was also like a lone star … His mother had died, his father had died, and the only woman he loved had died to save him. Black Bear had been killed by him with his own hands, and his best friend's beloved sword had been broken by him with a single slash … Under his indifferent appearance, he had been enduring a lot of psychological torture.
When will fate be fair to him?
Time passed in silence. Cold Cliffs knelt there without moving, like a stone statue. The moonlight cast four shadows of different lengths behind the four of them.
Chu Jingtian was unwilling to disturb the Cold Cliffs at that moment. As for Ye Wuchen and Bubbly Foam, they were waiting for his decision … in the soul world earlier, although he was avoiding them, he was able to hear everything that Sara had said. If their souls were not compatible and they were to coexist in the same body, they would lose control of their bodies again and again due to the difference in their thoughts. That would lead to more mistakes. Cold Cliffs was Cold Cliffs. He was another Cold Cliffs. He was also Bubbly Foam's older brother. He was the son of the Demon Emperor of the Demon Continent. Ye Wuchen was destined to not erase his existence. They were destined to fuse … However, after the fusion, the new personality that would be formed would not be Cold Cliffs, nor would it be Sara. Just as Sara had said, no one would be willing to accept their own soul being mixed with other things. If that happened, even though they were still alive, they would no longer be living solely for their own past self.
How would he choose?
Unknowingly, the crescent moon above their heads gradually moved to the west. A dark cloud covered the crescent moon, but the faint light still remained. In the silence, the curtain of night had begun to recede and a new day was about to arrive.
Cold Cliffs knelt there for half the night. Chu Jingtian and Ye Wuchen also did not move. They accompanied him for half the night without saying a word. His entire body was soaked with dew. His pair of eyes that stared blankly at the tombstone in front of him remained open. Other than the occasional movement of his eyes, they had not closed at all.
A ray of light shone from the east, gradually spreading over the land. Cold Cliffs's eyes revealed a final ripple. Finally, he slowly stood up from the ground. His eyes continued to stare at the name 'Ping Er' on the tombstone. It was as if he was bidding farewell to her, and also bidding farewell to himself. Because soon. Although he would still be Cold Cliffs, he would no longer be the Cold Cliffs of the past.
"Fuse." He turned around and said coldly. He had unknowingly committed a grave mistake. Since he could not atone for it with his death, he would not allow himself to commit another grave mistake. Once, he swore to serve Ye Wuchen for the rest of his life. He would rather die than regret it. After fusing with Ye Wuchen, he would possess greater power. Perhaps, he would be able to serve Ye Wuchen better. With greater power, he would atone for his sins. Was it important whether he was still himself? Not at all … the people he loved had all left him. Perhaps if he became someone else, he would not be in so much pain every day. Why not …
Chu Jingtian was about to speak but Ye Wuchen held him back and shook his head. In the silence earlier, he had used his thoughts to inform Chu Jingtian of everything, allowing him to understand the truth amidst his shock. When Cold Cliffs said those three words, he understood what it meant.
However, those three words weren't directed at them. They were merely informing them of their own choices.
Another voice floated out from Cold Cliffs's body, giving him a reply, "… You are not willing, I am also not willing. If there was any other way, I would definitely not make such a choice … Because, time does not allow me to hesitate."
A dim grey light floated out from Cold Cliffs's body. Cold Cliffs closed his eyes and calmly removed all the defenses of his soul, allowing other things to slowly seep into his soul … The fusion of two souls in one body was very simple. There were no earth-shattering effects, nor would there be any pain. As long as both parties were willing, everything could be completed very quickly.
The grey light was the colour of the fusion of soul powers. Pure soul power was colorless.
"Ye Wuchen, I can now tell you the second reason …" This was Sara's voice, his voice had become weak, "I said before, the reason why I did not tell you immediately was because I was worried that after you heard it, you would not have the heart to persuade him … One month ago, I felt the power of God's Holy General Ye Ming. From then on, I felt a great sense of unease in my heart. Sure enough … after that day, Oculum and Ningxue, the God Realm's Princess Black and Princess White were taken away … This is the thing that I, and the entire Demon Mainland, fear the most."
Ye Wuchen's eyebrows suddenly tightened and his heart suddenly became uneasy. He calmed himself down and did not interrupt Sara's narration.
"My demon race's overall strength is stronger than the God's Mainland, but back then, we still risked the danger of being discovered by the God's Mainland to come here to search for the Primal Chaos Orb. Do you know why? No … That was not because we were greedy for the Primal Chaos Orb's power, but because at that time, my royal father suddenly received a terrifying rumor. That rumor made my royal father feel fear for the first time … In the God Realm, there are two frightening powers that can destroy the entire Demon Mainland — two profound Gods that have existed in the God's Mainland since who knows when. "
"The terror of the profound Gods made my royal father feel fear, because any one of the two profound Gods has a power that surpasses his. However, the profound Gods of the God's Mainland have always been in deep sleep. According to the news that my royal father received, in order to wake them up, two Primal Chaos Orbs are required … Furthermore, they need a Primal Chaos Orb that has already taken human form and has the ability to mature — One, needs light and life, while the other, needs darkness and death. "
Ye Wuchen frowned, and then, his entire body trembled. Suddenly, his eyes split open, and a dense cold air drilled into every pore of his body, as if he had been splashed with cold water.
"You … You're … Saying …" Ye Wuchen gasped for breath, his face twitched, and his teeth clenched tightly together. His eyes radiated a terrifying gaze.
"That's right … Princess Black Skeleton and Princess White Robe are not the daughters of the God Emperor. You should already know that Princess Black Skeleton possesses pure death energy and pure darkness energy, because she was born from the dark Primal Chaos Orb and the death Primal Chaos Orb. Princess White Robe possesses the power of life and light, because she was born from the Primal Chaos Orb of life and the Primal Chaos Orb of light. They were all nurtured by the God Emperor using a special method through the two pairs of Primal Chaos Orbs, in order to turn them into sacrifices for the profound God and awaken the sleeping profound God … According to the time, even if the Primal Chaos Orb in their bodies has not matured, it is already almost there. "
Sha Luo's words caused Ye Wuchen's body to become colder and colder. He, who originally did not know what cold was, actually shivered under the light of the dawn.
When Ningxue and Oculum left, he felt a heart-wrenching pain. He was in pain because they were separated, and he was in pain because he would never be able to see them again. He would never be able to see their smiles, and he would never be able to hear their voices again. He was not worried about their safety … Because they were the daughters of the God Emperor, no one in the God's Mainland would dare to offend them.
So, he was wrong … Sacrifice for the profound God … They were actually sacrifices for the profound God! They were brought back to be used as sacrifices. The God Emperor took them in as his daughters, so that they could become sacrifices … What kind of concept was a sacrifice? To become a sacrifice, their life, power, soul … Everything would be devoured!
His eagerness to see Ningxue and Oculum suddenly increased by countless times. He finally understood why Sha Luo did not tell him earlier. Just as he had said, if he had said it earlier, he would not have been able to maintain his calm to stop Cold Cliffs from seeking death and facilitating the fusion of their souls.
God's Mainland …
God's Mainland …
God's Mainland … These two words completely filled his consciousness. Other than these two words and his incomparable desire to go to the God's Mainland, he had no time to think about anything else.
Sacrifice for the profound God … Ningxue and Oculum, who were brought back to the God's Mainland, were always in danger. How could the current him maintain his calm? All of his spirit, all of his thoughts, turned into endless desire at this moment … He had to go to the God's Mainland, not only to bring them back, but also to save their lives. If something really happened to them, even he did not know what kind of crazy action he would do.
