Dungeon.
The Rascal Snake, charged with delivering the edict, was temporarily detained.
Lan Shuilian and the others were contacting headquarters to verify the authenticity of this Golden Edict from the Demon Court.
And Lin Qi stood alone beneath the Blood Moon’s fading sun, letting the light of the dimming sun and moon cast a thick shadow over him.
He was thinking, weighing the pros and cons.
He had already learned from the Rascal Snake’s mouth that the Demon Court Prince Consort who issued the edict was indeed surnamed Fang, with the single name Yun.
And the person the Demon Court Prince Consort had ordered all heaven and earth to mourn, commanding all living beings to light Seven Star Lamps to pray for and extend his lifespan, was indeed surnamed Wang, with the single name Ling.
They were none other than his disciple Fang Yun, and Wang Ling.
Lin Qi did not think the Rascal Snake was lying.
Because the motive for lying would be nothing more than to lure him there, having set an ambush.
But in this world, the existence capable of knowing he had arrived in this time-space of ten thousand years later, and wanting to use Fang Yun and Wang Ling to lure him there and set an ambush…
Was enough to turn a lie into truth.
So the Demon Court Prince Consort who issued the edict was Fang Yun — that was true. And the one whose lifespan was exhausted, whose days were numbered to the point he could only beg for life extension through the prayers of all living beings, was Wang Ling — that was also true.
So go, or not go?
If I don’t go.
Knowing my disciple is about to die, yet stingy about seeing him one last time, heartlessly refusing to accompany him on this final journey.
Then what have I been scheming for all these years in my game against fate, my Dharma contest with the Supremes?
After all, if I truly wanted to be that cold and heartless, purely rational stone.
Then all these years, I wouldn’t have needed to rack my brains, wouldn’t have needed to risk my life in desperate struggle.
The equally cold and heartless, purely rational Supremes of All Heavens would have lifted me to the position of Supreme Heavenly Emperor on their own.
After all, even the Angler knows to chum the waters.
Those Supremes naturally wouldn’t be so stingy as to truly refuse to promise him even one Supreme seat.
In fact, They had indeed promised.
They were even willing to let him become the Hongjun of the New World.
It was just that he was unwilling.
Unwilling to tread upon the bones of all living beings across All Heavens, to pave his own Heavenly Emperor throne with the piled white bones of every close friend, kin, and acquaintance.
That was why he struggled against All Heavens, why he fought his way across this mortal dust.
Beyond that one unyielding grievance in his heart, it was more because he ultimately could not achieve absolute cold-heartedness, absolute rationality.
But if he were to go?
Thorns ahead — could there be a trap? Would he lose the greater for the lesser, and instead cost many lives?
“I’ll go. I definitely still have to go.”
“He serves me as Master, honors me as father.”
“How could I avoid it for fear of fortune or disaster?”
