Chapter 270 Destiny
The whole world became silent, with only this sound echoing.

Li Wuxiang turned around and looked at Mei Qiulu.

Senior Sister Mei is still Senior Sister Mei, her smile is gentle, and even seems a little... humble, like a subject meeting the king.

However, when he saw Mei Qiulu, Li Wuxiang felt that he saw Jiang Jie - just like the first time he met him, wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a Taoist bun, a square face, distinct eyebrows and eyes, only a wisp of beard on his chin, tall and with his hands behind his back.

"He's coming down!" Li Wuxiang screamed in his mind, "He's on Mei Qiulu now! Has he turned into a human? Are you really not going to do anything? Not going to say anything!?"

"Not yet. I am in your body, in this world of the living, and he will not descend to the lower world for the time being. Just think of him as his true spirit. So I am in your body, and he is in Mei Qiulu's body, this is called there is no two masters in heaven. But there is no need to say anything, I have said it, I am convinced."

"How did you become the emperor when you look like this?"

Li Wuxiang turned his head with all his strength and felt his neck crackling. Finally, he looked at Jiang Jie squarely.

His lips trembled and he tried hard to open them, but it felt like a huge rock was pressing on his lips. He felt like the skin on his cheeks was about to burst, but he just couldn't speak.

However, the next moment, his mouth suddenly opened and he let out an abrupt "ah".

He didn't know if Jiang Jie allowed him to speak, but he seized the opportunity, adjusted his voice, and made himself speak clearly.

"Master Jiang... Senior Brother Jiang!"

He thought of Li Si at this time. Li Si was a man who was good at manipulating people's hearts. He knew that he was not as good as Li Si, but compared to ordinary people, he was also a little scheming.

But now, he was not sure whether the tricks he knew would work in front of Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie was no longer a human, but a god. His mind might be smarter than his, and his knowledge was broader than his, not to mention that he controlled the underworld... How many people's thoughts must he have seen!

So he didn't plan to use any tricks, and just wanted to ask clearly -

"Are you Senior Brother Jiang? Or Senior Brother Jiang?!"

Mei Qiulu, or Jiang Jie, looked at him.

From the first time he suspected Jiang Jie of faking his death, until today, until this moment, Jiang Jie's image gradually became blurred in his mind, and then in this blur, it changed its appearance and became a gloomy and cold image.

Then, when he turned into "Du Tian Siming Great Emperor" and displayed the power to seize people's minds, Li Wuxiang felt that his image had moved closer to "terrifying".

But now, he felt that Jiang Jie's eyes were gentle when he looked at him, as if it was the same as when they first met.

"I'm."

He heard Jiang Jie say.

Because of this voice, a little hope ignited in Li Wuxiang's heart.

"You...what is this for?"

Jiang Jie didn't say anything.

"To become an immortal? I believe others do this, but I don't believe you... Brother Jiang, I don't believe you can become an immortal this way. Over three hundred years, with so many brothers and sisters, are you going to use their lives to build your immortal path? They all call you Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Jie still didn't speak.

"Are you going to stir up the earth's fire? Are you going to destroy the world? Senior Brother Jiang, I can't figure it out!"

"Don't be afraid." Jiang Jie said.

"……what?"

"Don't be afraid. You won't die." Jiang Jie turned around and walked to the stone seat. He turned around again and faced Li Wuxiang, then stepped back and stood at the bottom of the steps, looking like a minister standing before the king.

"You have already achieved the elixir and formed the seed of life. After His Majesty passes away, I will help you reincarnate and wash away the karma of this life. When you come back to this world, all the past will be gone, and you will be able to let go of all the worries in your heart."

"you……"

"Your Majesty, I took your power not for the sake of becoming an immortal, but for the sake of the people of the world." Jiang Jie sighed softly, "You should have died long ago. You should know that the reason why humanity is not popular now is because the Emperor of Xuanjiao is afraid of you. If you die but remain stiff, the destiny of humanity will also remain stiff but not dead, and all this is because of the past three thousand years ago-"

"Your Majesty, leave this matter to me, Bintian."

"You won't die" - when these four words came out of someone else's mouth, Li Wuxiang felt that they were just sarcasm. But when they came out of Jiang Jie's mouth, he felt that no matter if it was true or false, it would be true. He had already taken away Li Ye's authority, was the incarnation of destiny, and was the God of Destiny. What he said was not just "golden words".

But, if he was thinking about the friendship between fellow swordsmen, or if he... he was not as he had thought these days, and was actually a completely different person, then what was the point of doing all this?
The "matter" he was talking about?
what's up?

What was it about this matter that forced him to do these things?

But no matter what, "not dying" is not a good result. Jiang Jie should mean that he wants to reincarnate like Mou Zhenyuan or Kong Xuan... forgetting his origin, past, and everything. What's the difference between this and death?
"Li Ye, he called you Bin Tian, ​​what does that mean? You are in my body... If I don't die, how can you die?"

Li Ye's voice sounded as calm as Jiang Jie's. This gave Li Wuxiang an extremely absurd feeling - it seemed as if this matter had nothing to do with him, but he was the most anxious one!
"No one told you that you would die. The God of Destiny only told me to come into your body. You are an alien, and you can accommodate me. When I come into your body, I am a human being, and I am under his authority. This is what has knocked me down from being a god to being a human being."

"Now that I have become a human, and I die in your skin, my soul will return to the netherworld and become part of the destiny of humanity. And what I know will also become what he knows. He pushed me to the brink of despair just to make me emulate Yao and Shun and gain the rightful position."

Li Wuxiang listened to him speak. At first, these words echoed in his heart, but gradually, he found that these words came out of his mouth without knowing when.

"So when you and I were fighting in Lingshan before, the Xuanjiao monks seemed to be helping you... Dutian Siming, have you made peace with Lu Bing and the others?" Lu Bing... This name was very unfamiliar, but also very familiar. When Li Wuxiang heard these two words, he realized that he knew it - this was the name of the Five Mountains True Form Great Emperor before he became a Taoist!

"Not really. They wanted us to both suffer losses, and I was just one step ahead of them." Jiang Jie said.

"So..." Li Wuxiang heard himself say, "Are you really doing this for the good fortune of humanity and the people of the world?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Jie bowed his head slightly and said gently, "As long as Your Majesty is alive, disputes will never stop. Whether it is the fate of humanity or all things in the world, they are all part of the universe. Your Majesty, don't you know? What the Xuanjiao wants to suppress is not humanity, but Donghuang Taiyi. After I merge my body with the Tao, the dilemma can be solved, and perhaps the world will no longer have to suffer and oppress."

"If you really think so, you are making a big mistake. If you know what I know, then Du Tian Siming will become the second Dong Huang Tai Yi. If you don't know, maybe it will be possible to make the world no longer suffer as you said, but it will only linger on. Jiang Jie, come forward, I will show you something."

The two of them seemed to be playing a game of charades. But Li Wuxiang thought of what he had heard from the Ninth Young Master before -

At that time, he compared the world to a house on fire and said something like adding more wood to the fire. The "matter" that Li Ye was talking about should refer to this matter. Perhaps these are what Li Ye wants to show Jiang Jie now... [Note 1]

Li Wuxiang felt that he wanted to see it too!
Because Jiang Jie seemed to mean that it was because Li Ye knew something that the Emperor of Xuanjiao could not tolerate him, not because of the destiny of humanity. For three thousand years, everything Xuanjiao had done to the people of the world was not to suppress the destiny of humanity, but to suppress Li Ye. Now that he has become the God of Life, Xuanjiao will not be as afraid of him as they were of Donghuang Taiyi.

And what Li Ye just said seemed to be that if he died and became a soul and went to the netherworld, becoming part of the destiny of humanity, then Jiang Jie would also know what he knew, and then "Dutian Siming would become the second Donghuang Taiyi" - the Emperor of Xuanjiao would deal with him the same way he dealt with Li Ye. And if he didn't know, it seemed that the people of the world would not have an easy time either...

What on earth is so evil?

But Jiang Jie did not move. He still stood on the steps and said calmly: "Your Majesty knows that I am the seventh in the Netherworld. Among those who returned to the underworld more than 3,000 years ago, many also know a little about what Your Majesty knows. Although what they know is only a little bit and not the whole picture, these bits and pieces can make me roughly guess what it might be. So Your Majesty, I don't want to know."

"As for what you mean by lingering on - the destiny of humanity is different from other destiny in this world. Mountains, rivers, earth, sun, moon and stars are all long-lasting. And since the root of the destiny of humanity is human, just like human beings, they will have birth, aging, prosperity and decline. Your Majesty, it has been a period of rise and fall. When it comes to me, I naturally know that I will not really live forever. Perhaps many years later, someone else will replace me. So even if it is lingering on, isn't it also the cycle of destiny?"

Li Wuxiang opened his mouth and heard himself say, "So you only want to achieve enlightenment and don't want to worry about anything else."

Jiang Jie's voice became calmer, but he took a step toward the stairs: "I just want to go with the flow."

"Just now I told your disciple that I was convinced of my defeat. But since you don't want to know, I feel that you, the God of Destiny, are not worthy of the fate of humanity. Jiang Jie, if you want me to die, I'm afraid you will have to destroy your disciple's skin first, and make him disappear completely before you can fulfill your wish."

"But if you want to destroy me in this world, I'm afraid Mei Qiulu's cultivation is not enough now, you have to come in person. But if you want to come in person, you have to be in the Yang God body. And if Mei Qiulu achieves Yang God, I'm afraid that the Hedao cultivator outside Xingcha will have to ask the Five Mountains True Spirits to wipe out the remnants of her Sword Sect as soon as possible to prevent the emergence of a second Jiang Jie in the world. What will you do then?"

Jiang Jie sighed: "Your Majesty, why is it so?"

His voice sounded calm and helpless, but just after he said this, Li Wuxiang saw the three flowers on the top of Mei Qiulu's head.

He had seen this scene when Mou Zhenyuan was knocked back to the Nascent Soul stage—three golden balls of light appeared above his head, like three bright flames, spinning endlessly.

At this time, he heard Li Ye say in his own skin:

"The Vitality Seed creates the Innocent Infant, which is to condense the Heaven Soul, Earth Soul, and Human Soul into one."

Why is he saying this at this time? Teaching me to practice at this time?
"Now the three on Mei Qiulu's head are called the Three Huas on the Head. They are the three souls of heaven, earth and man condensed from the three realms and five elements and returned to the world."

Li Wuxiang discovered that Li Ye's voice had undergone a very subtle change.

He was very calm when he spoke before, so calm that he was almost depressed. But now the calmness turned into silence... and there was something more in this silence, like a hidden anger!
Jiang Jie took a step forward.

With just this step, the three golden balls on Mei Qiulu's head shone brightly, and then their outlines appeared in the light. They kept spinning, and gradually, the light was about to condense into three solid flowers. It was hard to tell whether they were golden flowers or some other color, because their splendor seemed beyond the ability of ordinary people to look directly at and understand, and it seemed that this was a light that should not exist in the world.

At the top of Dajie Mountain, thick clouds suddenly gathered above the originally clear night sky, with flashes of lightning flashing in it, and the clouds began to droop slightly, as if the plasma saturated inside was about to drip down!

——Heavenly calamity!
"Your Majesty, are you going to force out this Yang God Heavenly Tribulation to break the Star Raft restriction so that the Five Mountains True Form Great Emperor can come to the Great Tribulation Mountain?" Jiang Jie slowly raised his head and looked straight at the sky. "Now it's not me who is making peace with the Xuan Sect, but your Majesty. But when your Majesty was still here, you didn't really see the power of this Star Raft. I'm afraid this Heavenly Tribulation is not enough."

But Li Ye did not speak to him again, and said in Li Wuxiang's mind: "This is the beginning of the Yang God. The three flowers on the top of the head of the Yuanying realm will transform into the three heavenly flowers of the Yang God."

"To achieve the realm of heaven and man, the most difficult thing is not to achieve the three flowers on the top of the head, but the three flowers on the top of the head in the Nascent Soul realm. The difficulty is that the heavenly soul of a person is in the heaven outside the heaven. To summon the heavenly soul is to go against the way of heaven and forcibly snatch your own heavenly soul."

"I chose to become an infant on this mountain of great calamity in the first place, and it was with the good fortune from my ascension to the throne that I was able to accomplish this step."

The first heavenly flower on Mei Qiulu's head was formed.

Suddenly, there was a white glow between heaven and earth. Every detail of the Great Tribulation Mountain was clearly visible, and the entire mountain was shaking and roaring - the first thunder of tribulation struck down!
But it was blocked by an invisible barrier high in the sky - it seemed as if the lightning that occupied half of the sky turned into countless wandering electric snakes, and the sky was like a countless cracks!

"If you want to become an infant, the most difficult step is this - snatching your own soul." Amidst the deafening noise, Li Ye's voice was still very clear. "But since you are from another world, have you ever thought that maybe your soul is not in this world, and you will never be able to become an infant?"

Li Wuxiang felt that he was sure.

Li Ye...has never been convinced!

So during the second thunder that shook the heavens and the earth, he said in his heart, "Senior Sister Mei said that she predicted that I would become an infant in the Great Tribulation Mountain."

"Oh, fortune telling?"

"Then she is considered to be a man of great ability - I am the destiny, tonight, I will let you have a glimpse of the Yang God realm!"
