Chapter 1476 The Secret of the Breakthrough (2/2)

Cang Yuan looked at Zhou Yuan and whispered, “You likely know that we, Cangxuan Heaven and the other heavens, can’t truly stop the Sacred Race, Everyone is just trying to buy more time.

“Buy time until the third god wakes up.”

Zhou Yuan quivered and his expression turned sorrowful and complex. Besides him, everyone in the all-heaven was waiting for the third god to wake up.

Only he was waiting for the girl called Yaoyao.

When the third god awakened, the all-heaven would cheer with joy and celebrate, but Zhou Yuan would stare blankly at the stranger, who was carved in his bones and engraved in his heart, at a loss on what to do.

Perhaps he had never thought about how he would face that scene.

Cang Yuan looked at Zhou Yuan, who seemed to have lost his spirit, and saw the self-blame and heartbroken feelings in his eyes. Of course, he knew how cruel the situation was for Zhou Yuan.

He really regretted entrusting Yaoyao to Zhou Yuan.

If they didn’t have that encounter, Zhou Yuan wouldn’t be in such pain.

“Zhou Yuan, the power of the third god is not something you and I can imagine.”

A bitter smile appeared on Cang Yuan's wrinkled face. “Do you know why I successfully broke through to the triple-lotus stage?”

Zhou Yuan said puzzledly, “Master, isn’t it because your opportunity has come?”

Cang Yuan sighed, “Triple-lotus saints are the pinnacle of existence in the world. Only three had emerged in the all-heaven after thousands of years. There are many people in the world who are around my level. For example Wan Zu and Zi Xiao. They both have a foundation comparable to mine. But why was I the one who made the breakthrough?”

Cang Yuan peered at Zhou Yuan and said, “Because of that glass of wine at the wedding.”

Zhou Yuan's pupils shrank and his eyes widened with shock. “The glass of wine that Yaoyao gave you at the wedding?!”

On the day that Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao were married, Cang Yuan, who acted as Yaoyao's elder, drank the wine with Zhou Qing and Qin Yu.

From what Cang Yuan said, it turned out that Yaoyao's glass of wine made Cang Yuan break through to the triple-lotus stage!

Cang Yuan said sorrowfully, “That glass of wine also put an end to our relationship. Once I drank that glass of wine, she considered having completely repaid me for raising her.

“Zhou Yuan, what I want to say is that Yaoyao was already making preparations back then. She might already have had a hunch on what would happen. So, whether it was the glass of wine or your wedding...”

Cang Yuan pondered and then continued, “You—you should be mentally prepared. Don’t have too many expectations.”

Zhou Yuan stood motionless, staring blankly at the rolling sea of clouds. It was only after a long while that he sat down and buried his face in his hands, his eyes red.

Cang Yuan looked at Zhou Yuan’s rear figure. The dazzling youngster, who still wore a smile when his eight meridians were blocked, was faced with another heart-breaking decision in his life.

Even Cang Yuan couldn’t help but curse at fate.

How would this end in the future?
