Chapter 162 Fate
All beings are like chess pieces.
After Jiang Xing left, a surge of purple energy suddenly emerged in this Void.
The purple energy wafted and quickly coalesced into a humanoid silhouette.
Once the humanoid silhouette manifested into a solid form, the person appeared not old nor decayed but remarkably young, exuding exceptional charisma, and with a transcendent elegance that made him difficult to behold.
This person now wore a contemplative expression, as if hesitating over some matter.
His gaze was profound, with long, purple-black hair cascading over his shoulders, an indigo robe fluttering occasionally.
"Changing the timeline and thereby losing the corresponding memories. With Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas acting in concert with me to alter the era of the Evil Spirit Dominator, shaping the future with the past, and fulfilling the past with the future, should pose no problem.
Even for sovereigns like us, what we can remember is merely the change in rules. In the future, acquiring memories will enable transcendence and rise again."
"Yet, why... does it feel somewhat off?"
"Could it be that the chess pieces have changed?"
The man murmured to himself, and in his eyes, a myriad of suns, moons, and stars manifested, while worlds continuously transformed, yet he seemed unable to detect an endpoint.
No endpoint, no starting point.
No starting point, no path forward.
Sometimes, simple rules correspond to complex Supreme Dao. Yet complex Supreme Dao begins with the simplest, most fundamental rules.
The man sighed, and once again his eyes manifested worlds of blood mist, darkness, and Yuan Ci.
But, nothing was gained.
Then, in his hand appeared a blood-red mark, within which gradually manifested a blood-red coffin-shaped object.
"Evil, do you think I will fail this time?"
"I do not know."
A cold, mechanical voice emerged from the blood-red coffin.
"Hah."
The man smiled radiantly.
That smile could outshine any extraordinary woman’s beauty, eclipse all the flowers of Heaven and Earth.
Because the allure of that smile had annihilated all the beautiful scenery of the world.
In that smile, no scenery could be more dashing or beautiful.
"Evil, that plan, through endless changes and infinite derivation, reached this step. I hope you can help me. This time, I lack confidence."
"Great Emperor Soul Ancestor, if even you lack confidence, then you might as well give up."
The voice remained cold and merciless.
Still speaking with such sarcasm.
"Having embarked on this path, letting go is not an option. The annihilation of the Endless Holy Spirit Land, the collapse of the Endless race domains led to this step. It was the soul derivation of endless clanspeople."
The man said.
"It’s none of my business, I only need the result."
"Fine, I admit I am discouraged. But, my Tao is solitary."
The man said.
"Hmm, solitary Tao."
The cold voice said.
"Hah, I knew you still cared about me."
The man smiled again, a clean, pure smile, as if this smile also warmed his heart.
"Jiang He."
The cold voice suddenly said.
"Evil, speak."
The young man said.
"Lee Ran has another piece."
The cold voice said.
Upon hearing this, the young man Jiang He fell into silence.
He said nothing, and thus the scene fell into a tranquil, silent state.
After a long period, Jiang He suddenly said: "I know, that’s why I haven’t acted against him. This variable, I’m most worried it will emerge from him."
However, after saying this, Jiang He pondered further and said: "But, his piece is not activated, lacks power, only sufficient for self-preservation, so it’s better not to push him to the limit, lest we help him instead."
"He is not the reason, irrelevant."
"On the contrary, he will assist you in accomplishing your purpose."
The cold voice said indifferently.
"Indeed. With your words, I am reassured. Perhaps, having reached this stage, without past strategizing, even for the Holy Spirit Evil Venerable level of sovereigns, some resolve is missing."
Jiang He said with a wry smile.
"When one has invested much, one naturally cares. Being in the situation, one is blinded by it."
The cold voice said.
"Yes."
"If you cannot, there will ultimately be no one who can. Although the timeline’s changes, reversing the Ancestor Dragon Warship’s core axis, the blood sacrifice of the thirteen Holy Spirit Evil Souls produced a slight change, but the rules remain complete, in a brand-new world, the evil spirit is ultimately erased. This is victory."
"Whatever else happens, it won’t fail."
The cold voice said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang He was momentarily stunned, then suddenly enlightened, saying: "Yes, with you, I stand on invincible ground, what is there to fear? It seems it was ultimately due to the rules’ influence, being in the situation misled my true intentions."
"This vast Red Dust is indeed terrifying."
Jiang He lamented.
"What is terrifying is not the Red Dust, but your heart."
The cold voice said harshly once more.
Jiang He gave a wry smile, but left this place once again.
And here, the purple energy gradually dissipated, leaving the space quickly in a tranquil state, as if nothing had happened, not even a trace remaining.
...
A clear cry rang out, and a baby, with extremely pure Life Soul energy flowing through its body, was wrapped in a purple robe, then held in the arms of Li Su-nu.
