Chapter 640 Rejuvenation and Decline
So when the harsh reality was revealed to them, they were completely powerless to resist.
"How...how did you all..." Jiang Li opened her mouth slightly, her voice broken and slow, "...to this point..."
Xuan Yue leaned against the stone wall, turned her head to look at the sunlight in the sky, and crystal tears fell silently from under the veil that covered her face.
"That's fate."
"Li Qian, do you understand? This is the fate that he and I were destined for..."
Gods and demons are irreconcilable enemies. Against the backdrop of a grand race, the two of them are far too insignificant, so insignificant that they cannot even control their own joys and sorrows.
On the night they decided to elope, at the very hidden crossroads where she had told the boy to enter the country, a massive demon army silently invaded the unsuspecting Chongming Bird Clan.
Overnight, flames soared into the sky, and cries of agony filled the air.
She never imagined that the boy would betray her!
"I didn't, I really didn't..." The boy shook his head with red eyes, desperately trying to explain, but he couldn't explain at all. He could only tell her again and again that he didn't, begging her to believe him.
Yes, he didn't.
But how could she accept that the very secret entrance she spoke of had harmed her entire clan? How could she accept that her entire clan had perished because of her? Just because of her, her father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all her people were gone?
But she is still alive, alive to face Ji Yan, the young demon lord who killed her entire clan!
The Demon Lord wanted to kill her to eliminate any future troubles. Ji Yan knelt on the ground, crying, and kept kowtowing, begging her father to spare her life. She looked at the scene before her, which was just a replica of her past.
She suddenly felt cold all over, a cold that was both absurd and desperate.
Why is it so.
how so.
Why did things get to this point between her and him?
She rushed forward, determined to perish together with the Demon Lord. Ji Yan held her tightly from behind, but she swung her claw back and stabbed it into his heart. He was in so much pain that his eyes were blurred with tears, but he refused to let go of her.
"Don't go, don't go, you'll die, you'll die!"
"Please, please don't go, I beg you..."
He begged her, but who could she beg from?
Please, someone, save her people and bring them back to life.
“I can’t go on living, don’t you understand?” she retorted with a smile. “How can a fallen god hear your pleas…”
He understood.
He released her with trembling hands.
She resolutely lunged at the bloodthirsty and tyrannical demon lord.
However, just as the Demon Lord was about to kill her with a single blow, he rushed over and blocked the fatal attack for her.
Under a sky of blood and tears, he used all his strength to send her away.
Far away.
Leave behind all the fighting and tragedy here.
"Live on, stay alive!"
"—Xuan Yue, come and take revenge on me, the culprit! I'm waiting for you!"
"Don't die—!"
Burdened with a blood feud and heavy sins, she has lingered on until today.
“I am determined to take revenge. I sensed that the demons might be planning to invade this small world, so I came here by all means.” Xuan Yue closed her eyes and calmed her emotions for a while before revealing her purpose for coming here. “I am a god. The rules of this small world do not allow the existence of two races that transcend the rules, the gods and the demons.”
"In order to move freely here and avoid being discovered and erased by the Heavenly Dao, the demons have to suppress their cultivation levels significantly. In order to avoid having my cultivation suppressed, I have to find someone with great fortune and attach myself to him to conceal my existence."
“So,” Jiang Liqian’s tone suddenly became urgent, her voice trembling, “so you found your junior brother?!”
Xuan Yue shook her head: "It's you, Li Qian. But he seemed to know I would come looking for you, so he found me a step ahead and forced me to sign a contract."
"Looking for me?" Jiang Liqian was a little confused.
Xuan Yue nodded.
"Have you ever considered that perhaps this isn't your first life, and you're trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation, and he's the one behind it all, the one who's dragged you into this cycle?"
This misconception had been bothering Xuan Yue for a long time. Although she followed Xu You'an, she always felt that she didn't understand him at all.
At first, she thought he was a despicable and low-class person who would steal her simply to increase his own power by killing and robbing. But later she discovered that wasn't the case. He actually loathed her existence, as if her presence threatened the safety of someone he cherished.
She also thought he was probably a cold and deep person, not talkative or fond of laughing, with a thick, invisible barrier between him and everyone. However, she discovered that he could laugh, especially around his senior sister. He was warm and pure, weak and helpless, like a perpetually bright but not scorching sun, just right to warm all of his senior sister's sorrow.
She suddenly thought that he was probably a very affectionate person with a deep secret. He was burdened with sins and divine punishment. Every time he forced himself to cultivate, he would vomit blood and endure excruciating pain that ordinary people could hardly bear. But he never told anyone, especially not in front of his senior sister, where he pretended to be particularly good.
He has no soul, he is a walking corpse in the world, he has no future, no path to immortality, and he will eventually lose his beloved. His sacrifices will never be rewarded, because he has given everything.
But he didn't back down at all, didn't complain at all, and wasn't even resentful that he couldn't get even a little bit of attention from his senior sister anymore.
When she sees him, she sometimes unconsciously thinks of Ji Yan, the young man who once belonged to her.
She hated Xu Youan, loathed his muteness, and his self-righteous devotion. What is love? It can only bring endless disaster and endless pain.
But when he vomited blood and fell into a coma, about to be struck dead by lightning, she couldn't help but step in to help him. She couldn't suppress her pity for him, just as she felt pity for herself and Ji Yan, who were helplessly struggling in the vortex of fate.
She couldn't help but meddle and try to stop him. She asked the handsome young man, "Are you really going to such lengths for her?"
The young man replied that the first step for every cultivator is to find their own Dao heart. His heart was already engraved with her name, and from then on, every step he took closer to cultivation was for her; she was his Dao heart.
A qualified cultivator will not give up his Dao heart, and of course, he is willing to do anything for her, even die for her.
It's not "it really has to be done this way," but rather "it should be done this way."
She was shocked and bewildered when she heard this.
Jiang Liqian did not answer Xuan Yue's question immediately, but remained silent for a long, long time, so long that Xuan Yue thought she had fainted again due to pain, before she heard intermittent sounds coming from the depths of the thunder.
