Chapter 566 With Soaring Expectations (2/2)

Shen Lian smiled, ”Can't I?”

Complex expressions were revealed in Guan Longzi's face, ”In this path of cultivation, my overcautious nature is less than yours, my friend.”

It was also a form of cultivation for Shen Lian to establish a nation. He would neither assist in commerce nor lend a hand to Xia. Instead, he wanted to forge a path by himself and cut his way through the thistles and thorns. He wanted to do what others could not do.

It was destiny for Shang to replace Xia. However, this destiny was not absolute, because it was the trend accumulated by Tianyi. After all, when Xia collapses, only a colossal power such as Yinshang could be able to replace Xia's original position and quell the Netherworld once again.

And yet, under the current trend, Shen Lian wanted to build a nation to be capable of contending supremacy with Xia and Yinshang. He wanted to build a surprising summit even under the forceful crushing of Yunyang.

Guan Longzi's heart could not help but not be affected.

Shen Lian leisurely said, ”Only you, Guan Longzi, are able to get a glimpse of my thoughts through my words though few.” After completing this sentence, Shen Lian sighed and continued, ”Now, I deeply begrudge the fact that you will be buried along with Xia.”

Guan Longzi unflinchingly replied, ”My friend, there is no need to feel sorry for me. Perhaps the great king will understand me in the end. But there is something I absolutely cannot comprehend. Why do you suddenly think such, my friend? With your brilliance, you would surely understand the principles of conforming to nature.”

”My friend, you think that the Dao of Daoists' is the Dao of Nature. But you know not that the Dao of celestials' bears differences with the Dao of the Daoists',” Shen Lian joyfully said.

Guan Longzi questioned, ”How can you explain that?”

”My friend, how could you not know 'becoming celestial by going the wrong way'? To keep going resolutely despite knowing the task is impossible, creating Dao with little or no knowledge. A tall mountain may stand in the way, I can neither fly nor crossover. I, Shen Lian, then have no choice but to spread open the mountain and forge my own path.”

Shen Lian did not know what the destiny placed on him was. But Yinshang replacing Xia was naturally destiny as well. After all said and done, he knew this part of history. He damaged this destiny just to see what those in the Netherworld, who cared only for their own existence, would feel.

More so, he did not think of the consequences that flowed from his doing. After all, this was the most perfect trying-out opportunity for him. If it was not for the impeccably coincidental experience with participating in the shooting down of nine suns with Hou Yi, causing Shen Lian to act in spite of himself, he feared he would find it hard to make a firm resolution.两仪生死灯 - Same as the Lamp of Yin and Yang, these two terms are use throughout the story.
