Chapter 664 You're the one who deserves to die!
"She gave me my first hot meal, draped my first fleece-lined coat over my shoulders, and bought me my first writing pen after washing clothes for a long time... She always called me 'Second Miss' when no one was around, saying that as a daughter of noble birth, I must wear beautiful clothes, study hard, and write lots and lots of words..."
Jiang Liqian looked up at the colorful, dreamlike sky: "Do you understand what I mean?"
The Way of Heaven remains silent.
Jiang Li lowered her eyes and chuckled softly. Then, she slowly became more audacious, her eyes gradually filled with a sharp, mocking light.
Ah, you don't understand.
"You don't understand that the Way of Heaven, which governs and creates everything, is the simplest and most beautiful emotion in the world?"
"Mother, hehehe, do you know what a mother is? People are selfish, but her love for me surpasses everything. She just loves me, wants to protect me, wants me to live well, and wants me to realize my ambitions. To her, I am the most precious existence that does not require any conditions."
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
"This is love, this is love, do you understand?"
"You created this little world, you created all the living beings here, you created me, but do you love me? Do you love us? You only treat us as pawns in the operation of the heavenly way, as whetstones for the gods to hone their skills. You don't care about our joys and sorrows, our life and death."
"If you don't care about all living beings, how can they care about you, their 'mother'?!"
"Insolence!" Dark clouds rolled in, and thunder roared!
The once beautiful fairyland suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying. Howling winds swept up coarse sand and dust, and icy arrows rained down like rain. The earth cracked and floods raged.
This is a sign of divine wrath.
However, Jiang Liqian was not afraid of any of this.
Having experienced too much pain and life-or-death situations, she now faces only two paths.
—Or, she could gather all the divine artifacts and destroy the Heavenly Dao.
—Either we all perish together.
Since there is no other choice, why be afraid?
Strangely, after seeing her completely unperturbed, the terrifying scene around her suddenly fell silent. Before her stood a picturesque view of Jiangnan, bathed in the gentle spring breeze.
The voice of Heaven came again.
This time, it transformed into dewdrops rolling from the verdant willow branches into the lake, each drop crisp and melodious.
“My daughter, the child I created with my own hands, I know what your pain and sorrow are, I understand your prayers, and I can give you a choice.”
"I will use my wisdom to enrich your life, and I believe you will make the most rational decision."
The dewdrops turned into rain, falling softly into the rippling lake, creating concentric ripples.
Jiang Liqian bathed in the spiritual rain, feeling the earth gently caressing her body, her mind clearer than ever before.
Lines of writing slowly appeared in the rain.
That was her true destiny.
When she becomes an apprentice, she will encounter disciples of the Sacrificial God Sect who are temporarily staying at the Heavenly Dry Sect. At that time, she will meet Gu Chengxue, who is blessed with immense fortune. The two will be bound by swords, and she will fall in love with him uncontrollably. From then on, she will stay by his side, train together, fight demons together, explore secret realms together, talk about joys and sorrows together, make a marriage vow, and become Daoist partners at the Three Lives Stone. Finally, a great calamity will befall the world. As the leaders of the major sects, they will lead the immortal sects to resist the disaster without hesitation. Afterwards, she will die for him, wishing him to overcome the tribulation of love and return to heaven after his tribulation.
Two ways.
"As long as you follow your predetermined destiny, I can let you ascend to heaven along with the gods during their tribulations. I can even reverse the course of events and revive your wet nurse. The Heavenly Qian Sect that you care about, your master, friends, senior brothers and sisters, and your most cherished junior brother—I can put them in another world and save their lives."
"Or, I will make you, my child, suffer the most severe punishment, die in agony, and I will shatter your soul and reshape a new child so that she may continue this unfinished mission."
"To live or to die, to move forward and ascend to immortality, or to end here—you can think it over carefully."
The drizzling rain continued to fall, but Jiang Liqian's surroundings began to change. A pavilion that sheltered her from the wind and rain appeared above her head. She sat on a stone table in the center of the pavilion, on which was a tea set. A cup of bitter tea floated leisurely before her eyes with a few tea leaves.
Heaven offered her an immense temptation: how she longed for those she had lost to return, how she wished to see them again. She rejected Heaven's "kindness," perhaps knowing that in this life, and in all future lives, she would never see them again.
That was for all the people she loved: her mother, her master, Lianlian, Beiyao, her second senior brother, her third senior sister... and her junior brother!
There were far too many people.
She doesn't want it, she can't bear to part with it!
Heaven is ruthless, yet it is most adept at manipulating people's hearts.
Jiang Liqian gripped the teacup in front of her, her fingertips clenching the cup tightly until her knuckles turned bluish-white, her whole body trembling slightly from the tension in her nerves.
She hesitated.
She had to hesitate.
Outside the pavilion, the wind and rain raged, reflecting both the wandering of her heart and the steadfastness of the natural order.
The rain was getting heavier, but the wind was getting weaker.
Suddenly, a drop of water fell into the teacup with a "plop," shattering the clear, mirror-like surface into countless pieces.
“I love them, so you think I would compromise for them.”
"How can you be so ignorant of us, so ignorant of the people you created..."
It wasn't that she loved them, it was that they loved her. Their love for her was so selfless, how could she dare to bring shame upon them? How could she have that right?
"Have you ever opened your eyes to see this world? Do you think I'm a savior, that my joys and sorrows can influence the will of this world?"
"The demons found a miracle and came to our world. Was that your doing? You led the soul of Junior Sister, this person from another world, here, allowing the Demon Lord to hide in her body, disguised as the so-called 'system' to deceive her, and indirectly make her your puppet to purge the righteous path, right?"
"But what have you changed? Has anyone followed the path you set? Junior Sister is dead, part of the Demon Lord's primordial spirit has been destroyed. Since the Demon Race reappeared and invaded the cultivation world, the Immortal Sect has led everyone in a tenacious resistance. There have always been righteous people willing to die for the sake of the countless lives behind them. The protected people have been planting spiritual knowledge day and night, treating the wounded, and giving away everything they have, just so that one more Immortal Sect disciple can return alive from the battlefield. The Demon Race has not been able to advance even an inch!"
Jiang Li's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was filled with grief and indignation: "It wasn't me who saved them, it was them who saved themselves. They are trying their best to live, just like the people in the millions of small worlds. And I, the chosen one you carefully created, did nothing!"
"They shouldn't have died, they shouldn't have died because of anyone's selfishness, so how noble that reason is!"
"Damn it, it's you!"
