Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Within three months, Pei Zichen must...
"Song Wulan?"
When this name came out, Ye Tianjiao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Isn't he dead?"
"I killed him back then," Jiang Zhaoxue recalled immediately, dazed and doubtful. "But he said something to me. He told me to see him in the future. He has a body of the void, capable of carrying all spirits. If I were the Book of Destiny, I would definitely want his body."
"But what does it want Song Wulan to do?" Ye Tianjiao couldn't understand. "It's acting as a weapon spirit..."
“Because it wants to become a god.”
Jiang Zhaoxue interrupted him. Ye Tianjiao and Pei Zichen looked over. Jiang Zhaoxue sorted out her thoughts and spoke slowly, "He has been intercepting the luck of those with great luck. Luck is the most important power for us fortune tellers. Perhaps this is also the power of the Book of Destiny. It has been constantly making him stronger. Possessing the power of the Heavenly Dao is only half a step away from becoming a god. If it has a physical form, it will have the opportunity to cultivate the Dao and become a god."
"It wants to become a god?" Ye Tianjiao murmured. "It's so ambitious. But it already has the Book of Destiny. Why would it want to become a god?"
"Get rid of the constraints imposed on it by Lord Haocang."
Pei Zichen spoke up, reminding them, "Lord Haocang has given it control over the fate of the three realms. It cannot be without constraints, and the rules set by the gods can only be ignored by gods."
"So it wants to lure Song Wulan into sacrificing his body to it, to intercept the luck of those with great luck, and to collect the divine artifacts."
Jiang Zhaoxue concluded in a deep voice that all these steps were very similar to Li Xiuji's path to becoming a god.
Enough strength, body, and artifacts.
These are all necessary conditions for becoming a god.
"Wait a minute." Ye Tianjiao listened and suddenly realized, "Then according to you, the Book of Destiny took over Song Wulan's body a thousand years ago and became Song Wulan. Does that mean that from the first time he saw you, he already knew that you would go back a thousand years and that you would obtain the artifact?"
"Of course." Jiang Zhaoxue had no doubt, "It's the Book of Destiny. It must know more than us."
"Then why didn't it kill you?"
Ye Tianjiao blurted out, feeling his brain become a paste, desperately analyzing: "If our guess is correct, the Book of Destiny has given birth to a spirit, then Song Wulan has been fighting with us for the artifact, which means the Book of Destiny wants the artifact. If that's the case, why didn't he just kill you, so that no one will interfere with it..."
"Because it wants Song Wulan."
Pei Zichen interrupted Ye Tianjiao and reminded him, "If the Lady had not returned to the past, Song Wulan might not have offered up his body. The Void Body must be voluntarily sacrificed before it can be taken by someone else. The Book of Destiny dare not gamble."
"But it will do something."
Jiang Zhaoxue said affirmatively: "If I were it, I would already know everything. I would not allow Pei Zichen to obtain the artifact. I would definitely restrict Pei Zichen during this process to ensure that Pei Zichen would never get the artifact."
Just like when she set up the Soul Locking Formation for Pei Zichen, Song Wulan's methods would only be more cruel than hers.
But what did Song Wu Lan do? How could he ensure that the artifact would eventually return to his hands?
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at Pei Zichen, her heart aching.
Pei Zichen noticed Jiang Zhaoxue's gaze and knew her worry, so he said softly, "It's okay."
"How can it be okay?" Ye Tianjiao collapsed upon hearing this. "We've been planning for a thousand years, and now we're almost at the final step of becoming a god, and suddenly they say they predicted it from the beginning. How can it be okay?"
Ye Tianjiao stood up and paced back and forth in the waterside pavilion. "But what can he do? What did he do? I'm a Grandmaster after all, so how come I can't see anything? What the hell is this Book of Destiny?!"
"Ask."
Jiang Zhaoxue suppressed her emotions and tried to calm herself down. She thought, "Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we have a better chance of victory. Now that we want to understand the Book of Destiny, we must find someone who understands it."
"Who is it?" Ye Tianjiao turned around subconsciously and saw Jiang Zhaoxue raise his eyes and calmly say a name.
"Shen Yuqing."
After saying this, Ye Tianjiao subconsciously looked at Pei Zichen who was sitting next to him.
Jiang Zhaoxue pondered, "The Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion has served the Book of Destiny for three thousand years. Shen Yuqing, as the Pavilion Master, is one of the few people who can speak directly with the Book of Destiny. And the only place in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion that is shielded from the Book of Destiny's prying eyes is Shen Yuqing's bedroom. He can completely isolate himself from the Book of Destiny, so he must have some understanding of it."
"But he won't tell."
Pei Zichen lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, and said calmly: "I asked."
"I'll try." Jiang Zhaoxue said in a deep voice, "You are now the Demon Lord of the Nine Nether Realm. It's normal for him to refuse to tell you. I'll go over and ask, maybe I can find out something."
After these words were spoken, the surroundings fell into complete silence.
Jiang Zhaoxue felt a little strange and looked up. She saw Ye Tianjiao quickly lower his head as soon as he met her gaze. Pei Zichen was drinking tea next to him, as if he didn't hear anything.
Jiang Zhaoxue's heart skipped a beat and she felt a little nervous for a moment. She had known Pei Zichen's pettiness before, not to mention that his mind was not fully recovered yet.
She coughed lightly and explained, "Well, I just went to ask..."
"good."
Pei Zichen also agreed immediately, put down the teacup, stood up and said: "Then I will lead the way for you, my lady."
As he said that, he took the initiative to go out. Jiang Zhaoxue felt a little nervous. She glanced at Ye Tianjiao who was pretending to be dead next to her, but still followed him.
She followed Pei Zichen and saw him walking in front without saying anything. After thinking for a moment, she stuck her head out and explained, "I'm going to talk about business."
"Otherwise, what else is there to talk about?"
Pei Zichen glanced at her, and Jiang Zhaoxue immediately smiled. She took the initiative to hold his arm and said nice things: "Oh, I'm afraid you'll think too much. Your mind is not good now. What if you suspect that I'm colluding with Shen Yuqing again? What will you do? Don't worry." Jiang Zhaoxue leaned on his shoulder and let him drag her forward, saying affectionately, "You are my heart, you are my liver, you are my..."
"arrive."
Pei Zichen stopped to remind her. Jiang Zhaoxue raised her eyes and saw the gate in front of her and Yin Zhixian standing at the door. She blinked and stopped immediately.
Pei Zichen turned to look at her, thought for a moment, and finally said, "Let's make it clear what needs to be said, and say goodbye when it's time to say goodbye, Yaoyao."
He stared at her, extremely serious: "I don't mind that he existed, but I do mind that he didn't cut it off and kept the connection."
"That will never happen." Jiang Zhaoxue said immediately, "I will make it clear and pack up and send him back home right away."
Pei Zichen remained silent, as if examining the truthfulness of her words.
After waiting for a moment, he turned around and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Zhaoxue felt relieved, but before she took two steps, she suddenly thought: "What if he loves me so deeply that he doesn't regret it?"
"That's his business."
Pei Zichen raised his hand and the door opened. Jiang Zhaoxue saw the dark door and saw Pei Zichen turned around and greeted: "You go first."
This time the main person questioning her was her, and Pei Zichen was her follower, so he might not even need to go in.
Jiang Zhaoxue understood what she meant and walked into the house. However, after only a few steps, Pei Zichen caught up with her.
Anan let out a soft "tsk" and whispered, "You still have to catch up."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, pretending to know nothing, and walked deeper into the corridor.
When they reached the end, they saw a door covered with talismans. The door blocked the breath inside, and Jiang Zhaoxue could not sense whether there was anyone inside.
Just as she was about to turn around, she saw the door suddenly open, and Shen Yuqing's spiritual breath came with it. Jiang Zhaoxue confirmed the location, strode in, and walked into the room. She saw that the surroundings were pitch black, with only a circular platform in the center covered by a light source. Shen Yuqing was sitting on the circular platform with his eyes closed in meditation, and he didn't seem to suffer much.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoxue walked out of the darkness. The sound of his footsteps startled Shen Yuqing, who instantly raised his eyes coldly and took a defensive stance. However, as soon as he saw who was coming, he froze in his place and then exclaimed in surprise: "Axue?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately became alert again, practicing the Qingxin Jue with his hands and looking at Jiang Zhaoxue defensively.
Jiang Zhaoxue knew that he was worried that he would hallucinate if he was locked up for too long, so he coughed lightly and explained, "Don't be nervous, it's me. I came to see you."
As he spoke, Pei Zichen pushed a chair out from the darkness.
There was obviously a special magic circle here. Shen Yuqing couldn't see the people outside the light source, but vaguely saw that it was a man. He stood in the darkness and sent the chair behind Jiang Zhaoxue with a respectful attitude, which gave him a vague sense of familiarity.
He stared at Pei Zichen in the dark. Jiang Zhaoxue felt inexplicably nervous. She pretended to be calm and sat down. She took Anan from her shoulders, placed him in her arms, and gently stroked him to ease her anxiety. She smiled and said, "How are you doing recently?"
Hearing this, Shen Yuqing shifted his gaze from Pei Zichen to Jiang Zhaoxue. He carefully examined the person in front of him. After confirming that Jiang Zhaoxue was unharmed, he felt somewhat relieved. Pursing his lips, he asked, "How are you now? That demon..."
Before he finished speaking, he seemed to recall the current situation. He secretly glanced behind Jiang Zhaoxue and whispered, "I wonder what the Demon Lord's plan is for keeping you here?"
"Him."
Jiang Zhaoxue played with Anan's feathers, thinking about how to test Shen Yuqing. She said casually, "Well, let's not talk about him. He's still alive. But you..." She was a little surprised and her voice became serious. "Why are you here?"
"I heard you were in trouble..." Shen Yuqing was a little embarrassed when she asked, but she still said, "I said I owed you. Since you are in trouble, I naturally can't just stand by and watch."
"But I killed your master."
Jiang Zhaoxue reminded him, and Shen Yuqing stiffened. Jiang Zhaoxue was a little confused: "You didn't avenge your master, but came to save me?"
Shen Yuqing didn't say anything, just looked to the side. This reaction was consistent with his temperament.
He would not let her die, but he could not get over Gu Jun's death.
Jiang Zhaoxue probably realized that he was there for her, and she was sure of it, and looked at his body again.
Although his cultivation had been severely damaged, his tendons and veins had almost fully recovered. Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but chuckle and casually said, "The Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion has a strong foundation. Even with such injuries, you were able to repair your tendons and veins and retain half of your cultivation. Since Liu Mingxiu went to such great lengths to revive you, I'm sure he doesn't intend to give up on you." Jiang Zhaoxue looked up at him, "If you had come secretly to rescue us without the sect's knowledge and died here, and the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion had come to Penglai..."
"I have to get the sect's approval," Shen Yuqing said coldly, "even if I die here, I won't cause trouble for Penglai."
"That's good."
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded. Seeing Shen Yuqing's extremely ugly face, and thinking about how he risked his life to come here, she finally sighed and said softly, "Then for your kindness, I will apologize first."
When Shen Yuqing heard this, she felt a lump in her throat.
He didn't know how the two of them had ended up in such a situation. He couldn't bear to see her die, but he couldn't do anything else either.
He looked to the side, forcing himself to suppress his emotions, and whispered, "Your apology is unnecessary. We are both from the True Immortal Realm, and I would save anyone."
"Oh." Jiang Zhaoxue nodded, then asked casually, "Then how do you plan to save her?"
This question stumped Shen Yuqing. Jiang Zhaoxue observed his expression and sighed, "I'm on the verge of death now. This Li Xiuji and I are also doomed. A thousand years ago, we forced him to become the Nine Netherworld Emperor. He has been obsessed with me ever since and insisted that I become the mistress of the Nine Netherworld."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuqing secretly clenched his fists, and Anan beside him began to cough softly.
"Pei Zichen is still behind us, don't go too far..."
"But now you know my feelings," Jiang Zhaoxue said with a sad look on her face. "Zi Chen's mourning period has not yet ended, so how could I do such a thing? I have also made up my mind. If he forces me again..."
"You should promise him."
Shen Yuqing spoke, and Jiang Zhaoxue looked up sharply. Pei Zichen also raised his eyes in the darkness and saw Shen Yuqing sitting cross-legged on the high platform, as if trying hard to control his emotions. He looked at Jiang Zhaoxue and said calmly: "Axue, the Emperor is magnanimous. You will return to the True Fairyland one day."
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything, and others couldn't hear her, but she understood that Shen Yuqing was hinting to her that he had a way to rescue her.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at him calmly. Shen Yuqing couldn't see Jiang Zhaoxue's response, and a hint of anxiety appeared in his eyes. He advised: "Axue, I know you have a strong character, but being too strong will break you. Nothing is more important than your life."
"But how can you be sure that I can go back?"
"You can." Shen Yuqing said confidently, and Jiang Zhaoxue made a judgment in his mind.
She looked at Shen Yuqing calmly and said with certainty: "The Book of Destiny is still in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion."
Shen Yuqing's expression suddenly changed after hearing this. Jiang Zhaoxue immediately pressed the issue, "You've already seen clearly that the Book of Destiny isn't destiny. It's now just an evil object with intelligence. Why hasn't the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion given up on it?"
"What exactly are you doing here?" Shen Yuqing raised her eyes coldly, already understanding Jiang Zhaoxue's intention. "Are you here to test me for Li Xiuji? Jiang Zhaoxue, do you know..."
"I know what I'm doing," Jiang Zhaoxue said firmly. "It's you, Shen Yuqing. Give me a reason. Why does the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion enshrine the Book of Destiny? Because it can repair your tendons and veins. Do you think the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion can rely on it to make a comeback?"
Shen Yuqing was breathing rapidly, and he seemed to be trying his best to endure it and didn't want to talk.
Jiang Zhaoxue frowned and continued: "What exactly do you want to do in the Nine Nether Realm? What mission did it give you? It..."
"I'm here to save you!" Shen Yuqing raised her voice, raised her eyes with tears in her eyes, and emphasized, "Jiang Zhaoxue, I don't care about the grudges between the sects. I came here just to save you."
"What if it wants to kill me?"
Jiang Zhaoxue asked calmly. Shen Yuqing paused. He hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "It said...it won't let you die."
This made Jiang Zhaoxue laugh. She stood up, walked up to the platform, and sighed, "Shen Yuqing, Shen Yuqing, how do you think you got to where you are today?"
Shen Yuqing looked up blankly, and saw Jiang Zhaoxue stopped in front of him. She lowered her eyes to look at him, with pity in her eyes: "You should have been a person of great fortune, and you and I should have been destined to be together. Why do you think you have come to this day?"
"What do you want to say?" Shen Yuqing stared at Jiang Zhaoxue. "What words do you want to use to deceive me?"
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything. She thought for a long time, then raised her hand and swept the steps. She sat down on the steps with confidence and said calmly, "Shen Yuqing, I know you've been taught since childhood that the Book of Destiny is the foundation of your Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion and that you must dedicate your life to it. But what exactly is the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion?"
She looked up at the long pillar in the darkness above. "Is it the plaque of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, the scenery of the 108 peaks of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, or a certain leader, or a certain magic weapon? None of them."
Jiang Zhaoxue turned to look at Shen Yuqing and said seriously, "You told me before that the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion is your fellow disciple. It was the one who brought you back from an orphanage to the mountains, provided you with food, clothing, shelter, and the warmth of a home. When you were young, you said that you would carry forward the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, and that you would ensure that no disciple of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion was bullied. Only then can you be considered a true Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion. You worship the Book of Destiny because it is the way of heaven, because it can save more people and make the world a better place. But now, I, Pei Zichen, have used my life to sever the thread of fate, proving that the Book of Destiny is not the way of heaven. It has given birth to spirit instruments and can be changed..."
"Is it wrong that destiny can be changed?!" Shen Yuqing couldn't help but raise her voice, "It gave birth to a weapon spirit, but it has been watching over the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion for three thousand years, and it has guided the True Immortal Realm towards prosperity. Is it wrong?!"
"What if he's more than just a weapon spirit?"
Jiang Zhaoxue was firm.
Shen Yuqing was about to say something else when Jiang Zhaoxue confirmed, "He is Song Wulan."
When these words came out, Shen Yuqing was stunned.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at him calmly and said seriously, "A thousand years ago, during the duel at the altar, Song Wulan was killed by me. Before his death, he sacrificed his body to the Book of Destiny. From that day on, the Book of Destiny has become Song Wulan. And he has met you and me. Do you know what this means?"
Shen Yuqing looked up blankly, vaguely understanding something. He listened to her, "He knows that you and I were once husband and wife in our past lives. He knows everything. When he first asked Gu Jun to save you, he knew you would be the number one swordsman in the True Immortal Realm. When he saw me, he knew we would be Taoist couples in the future. He also knew exactly who Song Qingyin was."
"Who is it..." Shen Yuqing asked knowingly, "Song Qingyin, who is it?"
Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes were filled with pity: "It's a new Luo dress."
Shen Yuqing's pupils shrank sharply. Jiang Zhaoxue said calmly, "Song Qingyin and Mu Jinyue were both Silla Yi, whom you killed back then. Two hundred years ago, she infiltrated the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion as Song Qingyin, providing information to Li Xiuji and alienating us. Because she was Silla Yi, she cultivated into a human body by consuming Li Xiuji's flesh and blood. Therefore, her bloodline is the same as Li Xiuji's. When she saw the Tianyan Vine, she was devoured by it."
"But Tian Yan Teng is Pei Zichen——"
Shen Yuqing spoke quickly, but at that moment, he suddenly realized something and looked at the darkness in surprise.
Pei Zichen slowly walked out from the darkness.
He was wearing a purple-black robe, with his long hair loose. The divine mark on his forehead was clearly imprinted between his eyebrows. When he raised his head, he had a handsome and familiar face.
"Pavilion Master Shen."
Pei Zichen spoke calmly, and Shen Yuqing stood there in shock.
Jiang Zhaoxue turned around and looked at Shen Yuqing, patiently explaining: "Pei Zichen is the reincarnation of Li Xiuji."
Shen Yuqing stared blankly at Pei Zichen, while Jiang Zhaoxue continued to explain beside him, "Back then, Xinluoyi, under Li Xiuji's orders, became Song Qingyin and came to the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion to gather information for the Nine Netherworld Realm. Later, Xinluoyi became Mu Jinyue to help Pei Zichen, the reincarnation of Li Xiuji, obtain the artifact. Perhaps she was afraid of us joining forces, or perhaps she harbored resentment for you killing her back then, or perhaps... there were other considerations. In short, she didn't want you and me to be together. And if the Book of Destiny is Song Wulan, do you think it doesn't know all this?"
It knows.
At that moment, Shen Yuqing realized it clearly.
When he was young, he had never met Jiang Zhaoxue, and Gu Jun told him over and over again that demon cultivators were dissolute.
Later, when he returned to the sect for the first time, he talked about Jiang Zhaoxue with Gu Jun. He told him that Jiang Zhaoxue was just seeking pleasure for a moment.
The Lingjian Immortal Pavilion always belittles and tries to win over Jiang Zhaoxue.
They taught him over and over again that Jiang Zhaoxue was a demon, no different from a wild beast. He wanted to discipline her, discipline her, pluck out all her claws and fangs, polish her state of mind, and make her a human being.
A "polite", "disciplined", "impartial" and "self-controlled" person in Lingjian Xian Pavilion.
But who would do this to their lover?
He used his instinct to resist the discipline of Lingjian Xian Pavilion again and again, and felt ashamed and angry when she did something wrong.
He was born with a prejudice against her, so he would subconsciously believe Song Qingyin and everyone in Lingjian Xian Pavilion, but not her.
But where does his prejudice come from?
If the Book of Destiny is Song Wulan——
"He knows that you and I are destined to be together, and he knows that you are a person of great luck. So, from the moment you entered the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, you have been his chess piece. He allowed Xinluoyi to drive a wedge between you and me. He disciplined you, educated you, pushed you to the brink of despair, and then made you like everyone whose luck he plundered. Either you lose your way and let him take away your luck, or you give him everything for what you have lost."
Shen Yuqing listened blankly, then slowly raised his eyes and looked at the person sitting next to him in the light, looking back at him: "Shen Yuqing."
She said firmly: "You shouldn't live this kind of life."
He should be a child of destiny and have a happy marriage.
He should be able to meet someone he loves and who falls in love with him. It will be a marriage destined by heaven and a fulfilling life.
"You shouldn't have done that, Ye Wenzhi shouldn't have done that, Song Wuya shouldn't have done that, and those civilians who died a thousand years ago shouldn't have done that. So many people with great fortune throughout history shouldn't have done that. It's not the weapon spirit's fault, but it's the weapon spirit that gives rise to selfish desires, uses its own abilities to intercept the fortune of those with great fortune, and fulfills its own selfish desire to become a god. That's wrong."
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke in a deeper voice, "As long as the Book of Destiny exists, it's impossible for a person of great fortune to appear in the True Immortal Realm, nor in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion. You think it's the Book of Destiny that leads to the prosperity of the True Immortal Realm, but if it truly guides the True Immortal Realm, how could the True Immortal Realm suffer a catastrophe and lose its spiritual energy? Perhaps a world without the Book of Destiny is a better world."
Shen Yuqing didn't say anything. He looked at the person in front of him with a clear expression. She looked at him, but her eyes seemed to be looking at many people.
Look at the people, look at the mountains and rivers, look at the years.
That tolerant and gentle look seemed to erase him, and he became just one of the countless people in the world, which was completely different from the way she looked at him in the past.
They were meant to be married, and she was meant to be his wife.
The moment he realized this, his eyes trembled.
Jiang Zhaoxue observed his expression and knew she couldn't push him too hard, so she stood up and whispered, "Alright, that's all I have to say. Think about it slowly. If you figure it out, use the Jade Sound Transmission Token to find me."
As she spoke, she walked down the stairs, and Pei Zichen followed behind her.
Looking at the figures walking away one after another, and seeing them about to leave, Shen Yuqing suddenly said, "Axue."
Jiang Zhaoxue paused and turned to look, only to see Shen Yuqing sitting in the light. He kept looking at her. After a long while, he said, "Pei Zichen cannot condense a divine core."
These words made Jiang Zhaoxue's face turn cold, but Pei Zichen had already expected it and raised his eyes.
Shen Yuqing's expression was calm as he continued, "When he first entered the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, his master made him swear an oath before the Book of Destiny, sealing his soul, and then erased his memory."
Pei Zichen was only ten years old at the time, and had never received any instruction from the immortal sect, so he had no idea what it meant to seal his own soul.
At that time, if Gu Jun asked him to swear to the Book of Destiny, Pei Zichen would not resist at all.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at Shen Yuqing in shock. Shen Yuqing continued to explain with an expressionless face: "Among the three souls of heaven, earth and man, the human soul is in charge of love, so he can love others, but the emotional soul is in charge of perceiving others. His emotional soul is sealed, which means that it is difficult for him to perceive other people's feelings towards him. If, as you said, Pei Zichen is the reincarnation of Li Xiuji, then he must take the path of becoming a god, otherwise he will surely die. But to become a god, one must first condense the spirit core, then have a spirit shell, and finally combine the spirit and flesh to become a god and ascend. Especially him-"
Shen Yuqing looked up at Pei Zichen, examining his form. "If he doesn't want to become an evil god, then he must first possess a divine core. Only then will he have enough good will to dissipate the resentment within his body, ultimately uniting his spirit and body. However, the divine core itself is the condensation of a cultivator's Dao heart, and he requires an extremely pure Dao heart. If he obtains the divine core through righteous thoughts and good will... someone without emotions and unable to perceive the love of others cannot possess pure good power."
If a person has never received enough kindness, he will always feel uneasy.
Even if you force yourself to be a good person and force yourself to love others, you are still a little distance away from "purity".
Song Wu Lan might have anticipated this day, so he took away his soul at the very beginning.
And Pei Zichen... fell in love with her because of her meager, shallow, and deceptive kindness even after losing three breaths of his soul.
She slowly reacted, a bitter feeling surging in her heart. Suppressing her emotions, she simply said, "Song Wulan is doing this, isn't he worried that he will become an evil god and retaliate against him?"
"Do you know the limitations of the Book of Destiny?"
Shen Yuqing didn't hide it anymore. Jiang Zhaoxue was curious: "Where?"
"The Book of Destiny is a divine artifact, connected to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It can sense all places where spiritual energy reaches, and influence the cultivators who cultivate spiritual energy to promote the fate written in the Book of Destiny. This is the ability given to him by the Divine Lord."
Shen Yuqing spoke calmly and indifferently, "But the power to control a world is too great, so the Divine Sovereign has also imposed corresponding restrictions. It cannot use the power given to it by the Divine Sovereign to harm anyone, except those who violate the contents of the Book of Destiny or those who make a wish on their own initiative."
"Who wrote the Book of Destiny?" Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't figure it out. "If it was itself, wouldn't it be able to harm whoever it wanted?"
"The contents of the Book of Destiny are naturally not written arbitrarily. They must abide by the rules of heaven given by the Divine Lord. Therefore, what can be written in the Book of Destiny is destiny."
Shen Yuqing said solemnly, "If someone goes against fate, the Book of Destiny can suppress them according to the degree of their loss of control. The higher the degree of their loss of control, the greater the threat to this small world, and the greater the power that the Book of Destiny can use to suppress them. If necessary, it can even mobilize the spiritual energy of the entire small world to kill this person who has violated fate."
"So you're not worried about Pei Zichen becoming an evil god," Jiang Zhaoxue understood completely, "because if he becomes an evil god, the Book of Destiny will take action to kill him."
"Yes." Shen Yuqing nodded and said calmly, "Whether it's him or Li Xiuji, as long as they stray from their destiny, the stronger their abilities become, the more the Book of Destiny will suppress them. Unless they become gods, the closer they get to the critical point of becoming gods, the greater the power the Book of Destiny will have to kill them."
"Then why doesn't it do it now?"
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke sharply.
“Because it’s still recovering.”
Shen Yuqing frowned. "After it was injured by Pei Zichen, it was taken away by Master Liu. Now, Master Liu enshrines it in the Tianchi Lake. When I came here, Master Liu told me that if I was unfortunately captured, I should persevere no matter what. Once the Book of Destiny is repaired, I will destroy the demon and restore peace to the world."
"How long does she want you to wait?"
"Three months."
Shen Yuqing looked at Jiang Zhaoxue, already knowing the purpose of her question, and said calmly: "Within three months, Pei Zichen must become a god."
