Chapter 688: 71. Hope in the Dark
If the true talisman was compared to the residence of an immortal, then only those with a heavy destiny could take root. Those with a light destiny would not only drift away, but would also waste this opportunity.
However, there were also differences in the weight of one’s fate.
It was like a huge rock falling to the ground, or like a mountain sinking.
The two words “Xia Ji” were like a heavy sky that pressed down on them.
The Dragon Slaying Temple’s Abbey Dean and the rest of the people watched this scene with their mouths agape.
The two words fell down like the sky was collapsing, and the light rose up like a whistle. It was as if heaven and earth had merged, revealing a golden light.
Golden light shot out from the paper, emitting a dazzling but not eye-catching brilliance.
He had never seen or heard of such a fate.
The Dragon Slaying Temple’s Abbey Dean and the others were completely stunned. They didn’t know what to do or what was going on.
After a long time…
The Dragon Slaying Temple’s Abbey Dean squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.”Who exactly are you?”
” Who I am is no longer important, ” Xia Ji said. ” What’s important is that I’ve already written my name on it. ” Does this mean that we’re already on the same side?”
The Abbey Dean was flabbergasted. Then you are ignorant and fearless.”
“Go tell Qiongqi that I want to see him,” Xia Ji said.
The Abbey Dean was speechless.
Everyone was speechless.
Everyone had never seen such a fate chart, nor had they seen such calmness. He had clearly written his name on the True Book. As long as a big shot descended, he would be one of them from then on, a higher level of existence in their high-dimensional world.
In other words, his current personality would be completely washed away, digested, and assimilated by the endless resentment. Although he was still himself, he would no longer be himself. Then, why would he not be afraid?
The Abbey Dean didn’t bother to hide it and asked directly, “”What do you want?”
“I want to save you,” Xia Ji said with a smile.
“Save us?”
“In the past, I didn’t have the qualifications, but now I do.”
” You didn’t, because the Ancient Lord hasn’t descended yet. When His Excellency descends, you will no longer be you. Only then will you have the qualifications, but only then will you understand that you can’t do anything. ”
Xia Ji keenly sensed the message and asked, “”When is the Ancient Lord coming?”
The Abbey Dean said, ” I don’t know. Maybe ten years, a hundred years, or even five hundred years later. Or maybe the Ancient Lord doesn’t come and the Desolate Lord comes instead. I don’t know. ”
” I’ll wait, ” Xia Ji said. ” However, pass my message to Qiong Qi. I want to see him. ”
The Abbey Dean looked at him with a complicated expression. He had been annexed by the Blacktide, but it did not mean that he was a fool, nor did it mean that the Abbey Dean was dead. Instead, the Abbey Dean had improved his original temperament. However, this improvement was based on the foundation of ” dark evil resentment “, so he naturally understood that Xuan Qing was not Xuan Qing at all, but Xia Ji.
This way, Hu Bai was naturally not Hu Bai.
If Xia Ji hadn’t written his words on the True Book, they would have been fighting to the death by now. Xia Ji would probably have killed them all or some of them would have escaped. After that, it would be a long and meaningless fight.
However, Xia Ji’s name had already been written on the True Book, and he was almost a member of the Black Tide. Therefore, the Abbey Dean did not make a move.
He said,”Alright, I’ll tell him, but…” Do you really realize that you’re one of us?”
Xia Ji nodded.
This made the Abbey Dean even more confused. He felt that the man in front of him was mysterious. However, no matter how mysterious he was, since he was already half a step into his own camp, he did not say anything more.
Immediately, the Abbey Dean tried to make Xia Ji an elder, but he refused.
In this matter, he was only short of meeting Qiongqi once.
When Xia Ji returned to his residence, Bai Zhu looked at him and asked, “”How is it?”
” It’s just as we guessed, ” Xia Ji said. ” There’s something wrong with these pages. And the True Book leads to the Ancient Lord or even the Desolate Lord…”
Bai Zhu nodded. ” It seems that our previous thoughts were correct. Oh right, how can you be so sure? ”
“Because I wrote my name on the True Book,” Xia Ji replied.
White Candle was speechless.
He fell into a long silence.
After a long while, Bai Zhu asked,”You…” Or you?”
” It hasn’t come yet, ” Xia Ji said. ” So, I’m still me. ”
Bai Zhu didn’t ask a question like ” Are you crazy? ” Instead, he gave Xia Ji a deep look. In fact, late at night two days ago, Bai Zhu had seen this man walking into the void while carrying the corpse of a dust-like ant and making a wish to himself.
He just didn’t expect this person to be crazy to this extent. Perhaps this was no longer crazy, but a state of ” self-sacrifice. ” Buddha once said, ” If I don’t enter hell, who will? ” He…May the souls of the heavens rest in peace, may the heart be bright, what more can a man ask for?
However, didn’t he know that once his soul was invaded by someone like the Ancient Master, his Dao heart might completely collapse with a single thought, and then turn into a calamity, becoming a monster that only knew how to kill?
Even if they didn’t become monsters to kill, they would turn into other existences that were no longer themselves.
However, he didn’t even think about it. He stepped through the door and wrote down his name.
Was he not afraid of death?
No.
Who wasn’t afraid of death?
However, he already had a higher goal and was determined to sacrifice himself for his own Dao.
In the eyes of mortals, how stupid and reckless was this…
