Chapter 366: Chapter 358: The Death of Bai Chaojin_1
The crowd stood staring at the giant pit that extended into the distance, speechless for a long while.
There really were immortals in the world, or at least the woman they had just seen couldn't possibly be called human.
Fang Yun Zhong, a being so powerful he could have wiped them all out on his own, was insignificant before that woman, like an ant, effortlessly crushed with a swat as a person might thoughtlessly kill a mosquito that had lost its wings.
If such a powerful existence existed, why had they never even heard of her before?
This woman had suddenly appeared beside the resurrected Fang Ren, seemingly sharing a close connection with him.
If Fang Ren had known this woman before, why hadn't he called her over during that great battle? If she had been there, surely not so many would have perished.
Sometimes humans are greedy, unsatisfied with what they have, always desiring more and more.
The soldiers of Tianjiang were no exception.
After all, those who had died were their closest comrades-in-arms.
Before the people in the sky could voice their questions, Bai Qi took the initiative to confront Fang Ren: "When did you meet her?"
"Didn't I say before? I met her after I left Novice Village, that is, after my Spirit Form turned into that oceanic image, that's when I got to know her." Fang Ren knew what she was asking, but not only was his response for her, it was also meant for everyone in the sky.
Back when he was studying in Yangming City, a fourth-order Space Beast suddenly descended onto campus, forcing him to repair Mu Huanqing's meridians.
Afterward, Mu Huanqing protected other students, yet there were still students who yelled at her in anger, questioning why she hadn't appeared earlier, why she hadn't saved more people, why she had watched them die?
At that time, Fang Ren was furious. Under such chaotic circumstances, Mu Huanqing had done her best. Why were those people still complaining about her?
But later on, when Fang Ren thought back on the incident, he felt somewhat guilty.
Perhaps if he had repaired Mu Huanqing's meridians sooner, indeed fewer lives would have been lost.
But he wasn't a prophet; he couldn't foresee a fourth-order Space Beast abruptly emerging from the Void.
And now, the soldiers of Tianjiang were probably thinking something similar to those students back then, only they were more mature and wouldn't loudly voice such grievances.
Upon receiving this reply, everyone's hearts calmed down.
Bai Qi continued to question: "She's so powerful, can she shatter the Void?"
"She can't, not even immortals can manage that," replied Fang Ren.
Bai Chaojin, standing to the side, couldn't help but reveal a self-mocking smile upon hearing this.
He had thought things through too simply, believing that by raising a powerful human like Bai Qi, they could shatter the Void in the near future, securing a stable refuge for humanity. He hadn't realized how shortsighted he was.
Fang Ren glanced at Bai Chaojin, turned his back to him, and said, "However, you needn't worry. From now on, no human will ever die under the Void again. That is what the woman just now promised me."
Bai Chaojin slightly lifted his head: "Are you sure there's nothing more powerful than her on the other side of the Void?"
"I'm not certain, but I believe she could easily blow up Earth, something the Void beasts cannot do."
"Let's hope so..."
With a sigh from Bai Chaojin, the soldiers in the sky slowly descended to the ground.
Another catastrophe had passed, and the funeral had proceeded through much of its course. The sudden arrival of Fang Yun Zhong had resulted in numerous casualties, forcing an early end to the ceremony.
She also had the same Spiritual Root in her body, and little Qianye also had a close connection with her. Stay connected with mvl
"It won't work, you weren't selected from birth, it's only due to various reasons afterward," said the bamboo garden, waving off the idea.
Bai Qi was somewhat disappointed, "I thought I could find something to do... but in the end, I'm still idle."
"Isn't there anyone on this planet to arrange tasks for you?"
"There are, but I don't want to do those tasks. It's either teaching the military to practice or participating in family affairs. These things are very uninteresting."
"So, aside from seeing the greater world out there, everything here is meaningless for you?" the bamboo garden asked.
Bai Qi said, "Let's put it another way, as long as I can stay away from Fang Ren, I'll find meaning wherever I am."
The bamboo garden couldn't understand, "Weren't you just a former engaged couple? Is that necessary?"
"It's very necessary!"
"But didn't you like him? Why do you still want to leave?"
"You don't have desires, so naturally, you can't understand me," Bai Qi shook her head and sighed.
"What's so good about that thing? It only makes beings even more irrational."
"Then let me ask you, what's the meaning of your pursuit of immortality?"
"To traverse various worlds, to savor the delicacies of all these worlds, and to experience the pleasures of each one. Of course, the Heavenly Dao is ultimately what I'm aiming for," the bamboo garden replied.
"So, the true god you speak of, has he reached the limit of the Heavenly Dao?" asked Bai Qi.
"Definitely."
"Then, having obtained the whole world, but unable to go anywhere with his true form, will he be happy?"
"No one knows until they reach that step."
Bai Qi shook her head and smiled, "He can only use an avatar to go anywhere, in the end, it's just like a dream within a dream."
"This is beyond your understanding."
The bamboo garden did not continue this topic but switched back to discussing emotions, "I think, since you like him, you should try everything to get him, just like how I want to visit a certain world. When my Cultivation Level isn't enough, I would rather spend thousands of years striving just to visit that world once and fulfill all my wishes."
"So are you suggesting that I should kill Sister Hui Qing?" Bai Qi laughed loudly.
"I don't quite understand your marriage concepts, but from my perspective, in all the worlds I've seen, polyandry and polygamy are normal. As long as you are strong enough, all rules can be set by you," said the bamboo garden.
"You're advising me to plot for power and usurp the throne, aren't you?"
Bai Qi didn't take it seriously and laughed it off.
She had no intention of getting involved; as for what to do in the future, she didn't know.
Perhaps one day, she'll meet a boy who moves her heart even more. Then she will let go of all her emotions for Fang Ren and choose to start anew.
By that time, she believes... she should be happy.
But there would certainly be regrets.
