1502 Heaven Continent Is a Boa (1/2)
Xu Que was surprised and curious. Between the first time he'd first heard about the big changes coming to the Heaven Continent when Xuanyuan Wanrong had mentioned it until now, there had been a gap of almost 100 years.
It seemed as if the time frame for these changes was becoming shorter and shorter, as if there were an invisible hand, pushing time from behind and speeding up everything.
”It wasn't me, right?” Xu Que felt anxious, and he'd broken out in a cold sweat.
After all, when the shackles of the Heaven Continent disintegrated, all the ancestors and the Celestial Kings of the major forces would have woken up. However, it seemed to Xu Que that it had been because of him that those Celestial Kings had been awakened in advance and all of these events suddenly accelerated.
Especially after those people from the Heaven Palace Sect had been awakened, it seemed like the Heaven Continent's Big Tribulation was suddenly very near.
”Pass this order down. All the disciples of the Heaven Celestial Stage and above are to quickly gather in the meeting hall.” At this time, Bai Cailing issued an order with a serious expression.
She turned to look at Xu Que and his party and asked hesitatingly, ”Xu Que, will you go with us to the Selection Ceremony?”
”Oh, no, we won't be joining the festivities of the Selection Ceremony. Miss Bai, since you have so much work to do, we will leave now.” Xu Que rejected Bai Cailing's request and prepared to leave.
”The Selection Ceremony? For the One Chosen by Heaven...
”Ha, ha, ha, he had long known he was The Son Chosen by Heaven. Why did he need to participate in the Selection Ceremony for the One Chosen by Heaven?
What's more, this ceremony that they were all going to had been organized by the group of old guys from the Heaven Palace Sect. If he went there, wouldn't he be walking right into a trap?
”What, you don't plan to attend the Selection Ceremony?” Bai Cailing was shocked and said suddenly, ”Xu fellow, this is a major event concerning the safety of the Heaven Continent. It isn't good to disregard it.”
”Miss Bai, I didn't say we were going to disregard it. It's just that our Exploding Heavens Faction is always accustomed to being by ourselves. We are an independent organization that likes to fight as lone wolves. We aren't suitable for fighting in a group.” Xu Que laughed heartily as he made this pronouncement.
Bai Cailing said, ”This...”
”Miss Bai, you have to understand something. Participating in the Selection Ceremony is not the only way to save the Heaven Continent. There is nothing extraordinary in this.” Xu Que smiled indifferently and turned to leave.
Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the others followed closely behind him without a word and walked out of the meeting.
She'd realized that even if she said something to them, she wouldn't be able to change their minds.
After all, she also understood very clearly that the Selection Ceremony was just to choose The One Chosen by Heaven, and didn't mean in the slightest that the Heaven Continent would be able to safely survive the Big Tribulation that was coming.
What's more, she had absolutely no idea what the Big Tribulation that the Heaven Continent was about to face was like. She didn't even know whether it was a natural disaster or a disaster that had been caused by humans.
When all these elements facing them were so unclear, how could she find valid reasons to force Xu Que and the others to follow them to participate in the Ceremony?
”Holy Virgin, Xu Que and the others have left. Are you sure you don't want to force them to come with us?” a female disciple asked.
”Force them? With our strength, do you think it's possible for us to force them?” Bai Cailing shook her head and smiled bitterly.
”But the secret order said that if you saw Xu Que...”
”I know, but this isn't what we do. Pass down the order. All the disciples from the Jade Lake must not mention the news that Xu Que had appeared in the Jade Lake,” Bai Cailing said determinedly. At the same time, she waved her hands, destroying the secret order by burning it into ashes.
