1360 This Is Probably an Opportunity (1/2)
Xu Que had never considered Xuanyuan Wanrong a hidden danger, and he had felt he could act fearlessly because of her.
These two people's fates were linked by the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, and they depended on each other for survival. It could even be said that they had a stable relationship where they shared both life and death. This was why Xu Que was at ease. He was aware that even if Xuanyuan Wanrong came into the world again, she wouldn't dare to harm him, and she would even protect him.
But now, he discovered that he had overlooked a certain matter. If Xuanyuan Wanrong died, he wouldn't escape death either.
Moreover, it seemed as if this situation had already occurred.
Xu Que was aware that he hadn't run into any deadly poison or anything similar, yet his life span had unexpectedly seemed to shrink in an inexplicable way and was even manifested in his body. His remaining life span was just 40 days!
The result of the System's inspection stated that he had been affected by a certain artifact, and that he had lost his life span due to the influence of the Heaven Way's laws
This meant that Xuanyuan Wanrong currently faced great danger and was on the brink of death. This was why he had been implicated.
”Even myriad thorough and careful plans can't escape the shackles of destiny,” Xu Que clenched his fists and teeth before he spoke out of resentment.
If it had been another danger, then even if he had a narrow chance for survival or not even a single chance, he would have still accepted it. Even if the two souls of Guan Chuchu and Xuanyuan Qishang had killed him, he would still have accepted it.
But now, he had been implicated by someone else and would have to share both death and life due to their destiny. He couldn't accept this!
”I have worked so hard, yet in the end, I will die because of a useless comrade? Who could accept this matter?”
”Lad, what happened?” Buttface, Liu Jingning, and the others were also concerned about Xu Que, and they questioned him quickly.
”It is major,” Xu Que shook his head and wore a grave look.
He informed them about the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, as well as his relationship with Xuanyuan Wanrong.
Buttface and Duan Jiude and the others were dumbfounded.
This outcome was really unimaginable!
”It turns out that...the death in 49 days referred to this matter,” Duan Jiude smiled bitterly.
”Don't panic! You still have 40 days, and we can go back to the Four Great Continents in time to deal with this matter,” Buttface shouted.
”If everything is like what you have said, then even if we go to the Four Great Continents, it won't be of any use,” Mo Junchen, who also wore a grave look, spoke. ”Since even Xuanyuan Wanrong can't deal with this crisis, then will we be able to deal with it?”
As those words echoed out, Buttface and Duan Jiude descended into silence.
Mo Junchen's statement was quite reasonable. In the past, they had all seen Xuanyuan Wanrong's great power, and, even though that woman was stranded, she still possessed great power. She wasn't able to meddle in matters occurring outside the Celestial Burial Valley, but, if one entered the Celestial Burial Valley, then no one could contend against her.
At the very least, the power Xuanyuan Wanrong revealed in the Celestial Burial Valley surpassed a Celestial King.
But now, she couldn't even protect herself, and it was obvious that she had run into a powerful being. The power of the people in their group was insignificant, and, even if they went to the Four Great Continents, they probably wouldn't be of any help.
”Guardian Mo, am I really unable to erase my name from the Heavenly Book of Taiyi?” Xu Que looked at Mo Junchen and questioned him.
Mo Junchen knew some rumors about the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, and that was why he was afraid to tell him. He didn't even dare to mention it.
”It's really unerasable! At the very least, I have never heard about anyone who managed to achieve it throughout the ages,” Mo Junchen wore a bitter look and shook his head.
”F*ck! This is too unreasonable. At that time, that crazy woman wrote my name there without my consent, so why did it approve it?” Xu Que opened his eyes wide. He felt quite unwell!
Mo Junchen chuckled bitterly again, ”This is the authority of the Heaven's Chosen. They are able to decide whoever they want to walk down Heavenly Selection's Road. It's Heaven that gives birth to all beings, and it's the greatest existence.”
”What d*mned great heaven. We are the Exploding Heavens Faction, and I don't believe that I can't break free of the restraints of the Heavenly Book of Taiyi,” Xu Que was high-spirited. He waved his hand and summoned the System.
”System, is there any way to get rid of the Heavenly Book of Taiyi?” He could only place his last hope on the System.
The System quieted for a moment before it replied, ”After inspection, it was determined that the System isn't able to offer this function currently. Host, please promote the System's grade to Version 12.0.”
