Chapter 1036: Chapter 1034: Life and Death 3
Dream-Making Expert
Xiao Ali’s birth brought even more joy to the tranquil Mount Xiangji.
Xiao Ali was the milk name of the baby girl born to Fang Yun and Bai Ling’er.
A tiny little thing, dressed in the Rainbow Rosy Radiance set Wang Ling had meticulously prepared, beautiful like a little sprite born of heaven and earth’s Creation.
Milky and soft, utterly adorable.
She received twelve thousand percent affection from everyone, including Wang Ling and Thunder Bird Bubu.
So much so that when faced with Lin Qi’s earlier proposal to arrange matches for the two of them, they were actually somewhat tempted.
Especially Thunder Bird Bubu.
It would even occasionally deliberately pretend to casually hint to Lin Qi that it could find a few more bird wives capable of bearing pretty little princesses like Xiao Ali.
It could afford them anyway.
Before Lin Qi could respond, the Wu Ancestor figurine in his pocket disdainfully spoke up.
“A real man born between heaven and earth should accomplish great things.”
“And those who do great things either achieve great success or suffer great failure.”
“There is never a middle option.”
“So if the great task is not yet complete, how can one start a family!”
“Primordial Heavenly Emperor.”
“What you need to do now is plan for all living beings, plan for the world.”
“How can you truly put all your thoughts into finding wives for your disciple, for your bird!”
“If you dare prattle on again, I’ll throw you into a latrine!”
Lin Qi chose to directly mute the Wu Ancestor, then truly intended to take Wang Ling and Thunder Bird Bubu to walk the Human Realm and find wives for the two of them.
But unfortunately, before they could set out.
Wang Ling fell ill. Gravely ill.
Actually, it could not really be called illness.
After all, Wang Ling’s lifespan had long since dried up, and his end was near.
During this time, although Lin Qi had used many life-extending prescriptions, in the end they only treated the symptoms, not the root.
More importantly, the death wish deep in Wang Ling’s heart had not diminished but increased.
“Why?”
“Are you no longer afraid I might harm them?”
“I said it before.”
“If you dare seek death, I will slaughter Bubu and make hotpot!”
Lin Qi gazed at the bedridden Wang Ling. The thick, unyielding death wish was now almost substantive.
No matter how vast Lin Qi’s divine abilities or boundless his spiritual power, he could not disperse it.
Because Wang Ling wholeheartedly wanted to die.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“You can’t scare me anymore.”
“Whether you make hotpot out of Bubu, or even kill Senior Brother and his whole family.”
“I will no longer be threatened by you.”
“Because I have already comprehended everything.”
Wang Ling laughed heartily.
“You want to stop me from fusing with Lord Xinling. You want to use this method to force Lord Xinling to submit to you.”
“But I tell you it’s impossible!”
“Because I have completely understood everything.”
“The moment I fuse with Lord Xinling.”
“You will no longer be able to hide the heavens with one hand and deceive Master and the others.”
“Because Lord Xinling will carry my conviction, travel through the River of Time, to deliver it, to tell the world everything that is happening now.”
Lin Qi sighed.
“Don’t try to be clever.”
“With your wisdom, don’t ponder matters you are utterly powerless to change.”
“You only need to obediently listen and live well.”
“Your Master will not harm you.”
“Your Master will naturally find a way to resolve all of this.”
“Shut up, you are not my Master! My Master is trapped in the past by you. Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, don’t think you can fool me!”
Wang Ling shouted, violently coughing blood.
With a resolute posture, he wanted to completely sever ties with Lin Qi.
Fang Yun and the others nearby were about to speak, to tell Wang Ling to calm down and think carefully.
If the Lin Qi before them really was not their Master.
Then for so long, he could not possibly have tolerated Wang Ling’s provocations again and again.
So why couldn’t this foolish Junior Brother understand!
But before they could speak, Lin Qi stopped them.
Lin Qi quietly watched Wang Ling. After a long while, he finally spoke.
“So what exactly makes you so certain your Master cannot find the Method of Two Perfections?”
“Don’t say things like you think I am the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor.”
“After all, you and I both know.”
“You already know the truth that your Master is indeed Lin Qi.”
“Hmph, I’m about to die anyway, and you still lie to a dying man. Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, you really…”
Wang Ling could not continue.
His gaze flickered.
He knew Lin Qi truly knew that he already knew the Lin Qi before him really was Lin Qi.
After all, Lin Qi was so clever. As his disciple, how could he hide anything from his Master.
Just as he had indeed mistaken Lin Qi for the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor at first, but had quickly realized his mistake.
Yes.
Long ago, before they had come to the foot of Mount Xiangji.
Wang Ling had realized he might have been mistaken.
The Lin Qi before him truly was the Master he had longed to reunite with.
The reason was simple.
Because he had realized a problem.
That was, Lin Qi could impersonate the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, but the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor would absolutely never impersonate Lin Qi.
Because the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor absolutely did not want to be misunderstood by the Supremes.
And after arriving at Mount Xiangji.
Those nonexistent ancient histories appearing from the Tomb Cluster and constantly drawing near.
Made Wang Ling know even more that the Lin Qi before him absolutely could not be the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor he had mistaken him for at first.
The reason was equally simple.
That was, whether it was Little Qingxue, Buring, or Qingkong appearing in those ever-approaching ancient histories.
All these people could only be used to threaten Lin Qi, and could not possibly threaten the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor.
So.
Wang Ling had long known the Lin Qi before him truly was his Master.
Although everyone said he was stupid.
Wang Ling did not think so. He felt he was clever indeed.
So he had not chosen to acknowledge Lin Qi, nor did he plan to.
Because clever as he was, he had also seen clearly.
Lin Qi truly wanted him to survive.
But in truth, he should have died long ago.
After all, if he did not die, Lord Xinling could not take that most crucial step.
And that step was important.
Important enough perhaps to completely break the deadlock between Lin Qi and the Supremes.
Although he did not fully understand.
When he realized he would become a most crucial link, able to help Lin Qi.
He realized he must go die.
Moreover, everyone knew that from ancient times to now, those who sought great things never succeeded without blood sacrifice.
Senior Sister Yuyao could sacrifice herself for the great task.
Why could he, Wang Ling, not do the same!
And besides.
He, Wang Ling, was born in this heaven and earth. He could not shake heaven and earth in life, but he could die magnificently.
He absolutely would not sit in this wheelchair like a cripple, dragging out an ignoble existence, becoming a burden to Lin Qi.
“Do you know why back then I insisted on delivering that letter with a mortal body, traveling a distance of light-years?”
Wang Ling raised his head, looked at Lin Qi, laughed three times, his heroic spirit recalling those years.
“Not because I did not recognize the vastness of Heaven and Earth, not because I did not understand the breadth of the world.”
“But because I, Wang Ling, did not want a mediocre life, letting the moon’s cold and the sun’s warmth torment my lifespan away!”
“I wanted to do one great thing magnificently.”
“To let the world know my name!”
“So it was then, and so it is now!”
“Call me stupid if you like, think me unfilial if you will.”
“But back then I was born of faith.”
“Today I shall die of faith!”
“Lord Xinling, why do you not hurry here and join me in thanking our Master for his grace!”
