1720 Asking for Help (2/2)
”If we fought against the Heavenly Dao, we were not absolutely going to lose. We were truly incredibly powerful back in the day. We even had the chance to destroy the Heavenly Dao.”
Ce Xingchen gently said, ”However, if the divine punishment struck on us, and we survived it, the world would collapse because it wouldn't be able to handle our overwhelming power. The world would die because of us.
”After we died, we finally knew… It was the Divine Choice!
”We didn't get any heritage of others before we reached the top of the world. All we got were great talents and the dynamic force from competing with each other.
”What we did to reach the top of the world was to keep working hard!”
Ye Xiao was shocked. ”Masters, do you mean it was possible for you to reach even higher levels?”
Ji Qingxiao looked calm and blandly said, ”That's correct. If we fought together against the Heavenly Dao, we would survive the divine punishment. We would break the barrier and reach an even higher level.
”However, there was a price to pay. If we did that, the world could die. Our incredible power would destroy the system of the world. We would have to absorb the energy from the destruction of the world and reach a new stage after that!”
Ye Xiao knew that the two heroes eventually chose to save the world, but he still took a cold breath in shock. He had ascended to the new worlds twice, so he knew the limitation of the world, the punishment from heavens, and other things about it. However, he had never thought that one could destroy a world when reaching a new level!
Ji Qingxiao looked at Ye Xiao and smiled. ”Monarch Ye, you don't have to be so shocked. Cultivators always went against the rules of the heavens. People do terrible things to improve themselves. Sometimes, it was only a small choice which leads to a terrible outcome. When the divine punishment struck someone who is actually more powerful than the Heavenly Dao, the choice was left to the people! That is why it is called the Divine Choice!
”To make a step ahead, the world will die, and you will then reach a new world… If not, you die!”
Ce Xingchen said, ”It was a shame… We had too many connections to this world. We couldn't let the world die.
”So we made a plan and then had our last fight. In the end, we chose to die together. We wanted to save the Human Realm Upon Heavens by destroying our souls.”
Ce Xingchen stopped, and Ji Qingxiao said with a bland smile, ”However, we were willing to die for the world, but we still wanted to leave our story.
”The restraint on our children is a protection and also something we did to lead you to find us. Our martial arts are extraordinary, and we have cultivated it to the limit of the world. They are the painstaking work of our lives, but we do not have a disciple who can carry forward the greatness.” Ce Xingchen said.
”In fact, we did have disciples, but they were all dead. He killed my disciples, and I killed his.” Ji Qingxiao frankly said, ”In the end, neither of us had any disciples anymore.”
Ce Xingchen stared at the man and said, ”So there is one thing we really want to do before we really leave the world… Our heritage is going to be a burden on you now, Monarch Ye.”
