Chapter 59 What is the choice?
What if the savior is unwilling to save the world?
Wen Ren Huai had never thought about this question, or rather, he had never thought that there would be a situation where the savior was unwilling to save the world.
How could a person who was created by Heaven to save the world have such thoughts?
Wen Ren Huai was stunned for a long time before he opened his mouth in a rather bewildered manner, lacking confidence: "But you were created by Heaven."
"Yes." Jiang Yu nodded. "According to what you said, I was created by Him using the spiritual power of the next three hundred years. Everything I have now was given to me by Him. He may be able to take these things back at any time."
She smiled, her eyes wandering on Wen Ren Huai's face: "Killing Jing Mo alone and leaving a world without spiritual power, can it be considered saving the world? If Heaven wants to make up for 300 years of spiritual power, I, who was created by Him with 300 years of spiritual power, will definitely lose something. 300 years of spiritual power, I don't think that my spiritual power alone can make up for it. Since you said that I was created by Him, then what I will lose is most likely my life."
The so-called statement in the dark room about taking only spiritual power was just what she said to appease so many people present. She didn't really think that Tiandao would only want her spiritual power.
She has read a lot of books about saving the world. Although the endings are all good, how many protagonists have not died at least once?
"Heaven loves the world and wants to protect this world, so it won't love me." She continued, "He wants to use my life to replenish his spiritual power, so why should I obey His ideas and love the world? Why can't I join forces with Jing Mo? Once he replaces Heaven, won't my fate change?"
"How could you do this!" Wen Ren Huai said anxiously, "It was the Heaven that created you. It gave you an inexhaustible spiritual power, a noble status, and all the love and favor you could get. At such a young age, you have resources, magic weapons, opportunities, and fame that others would never get in their entire lives. How could you do this!"
Everything she has was given by Heaven. How could she go along with Jing Mo and become the enemy of Heaven!
Jiang Yu lazily leaned back on the chair, her lavender skirt fell to the ground, stained with a little dust. She was not as excited as Wen Ren Huai. The smile between her eyebrows had not faded, and her eyes were teasing: "But I don't want to die, what should I do?"
Wen Ren Huai was so anxious that he wanted to vomit blood: "Savior——"
He wanted to say, how could a savior fear death?
But when he saw Jiang Yu's young face, he suddenly remembered that she was only in her early twenties and had not long lost her youth. To him, she was still a little girl.
Even in the past twenty years, she has been almost isolated from the world and trapped in her own little world.
She would die in her twenties, an age that could even be considered "premature death" for a monk with a long life.
He opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say the words that asked her to accept death calmly.
Jiang Yu watched his expression change again and again. He leaned forward slightly, casually looked around the dungeon, chuckled inaudibly, and then slowly looked at him again: "Actually, I have always been curious about one thing."
Her eyes fell on his slightly nervous face: "Do you think what you said to me is what you wanted to tell me, or is it God using your mouth to ask about my choice?"
Wen Ren Huai raised his eyes suddenly, and was caught off guard by her words, and was speechless for a long time.
Yes.
What Jiang Yu said makes sense.
He wanted to make things difficult for them before he died, and he couldn't control his emotions. He talked about everything about the savior and the way of heaven. Maybe, this was the arrangement of heaven?
He always felt that Jiang Yu was a "tool" created by Heaven to save the world. Then why couldn't they, who existed in this world before Jiang Yu, become Heaven's "tools" as well?
Perhaps, since he learned all this in his dream and was complacent about being the chosen one by God, he had already been on the path arranged for him by God.
Let Jing Mo wake up and tell Jiang Yu everything about saving the world, and be her whetstone.
If what Jiang Yu said was true, then his path had already been arranged by heaven, just waiting for him to reach the end and enter his own ending.
He looked down at Jiang Yu absentmindedly, and suddenly he understood her thoughts a little. Jiang Yu tilted her head, feeling that he understood her: "Can't you answer it?"
"Then let me change the question." She rested her elbows on the armrests and tapped her forehead with her fingertips. "Since you are loyal to Jing Mo, why do you care whether I can save the world? If I join forces with Jing Mo, wouldn't that be exactly what you want?"
She smiled: "Or is this what God wants you to do?"
Wen Ren Huai's attention was called back by him, but he fell into silence again and was speechless for a long time.
He didn't know either.
Before Jing Mo was sealed, he always felt that these so-called famous and upright sects had too many rules and life was too tiring, so he had to demand himself to be a good person every day.
He felt that this famous and upright life was boring and had too many restrictions. He thought it would be better for him to become a demon, free and able to do whatever he wanted. All the various rules between heaven and earth could no longer restrict him, so he wanted to join Jing Mo's team. This man was powerful and had clear goals. In time, the three realms would be under his feet.
But no matter how much the Heavenly Dao had tolerated this evil demon before, it could not tolerate the evil suppressing good in the end. Before he could become an evil demon and join Jing Mo's army, Jing Mo was sealed by others. So he came to Lingdu. In order to give a hiding place to the evil demons who had been trying to awaken Jing Mo, he killed people and became the lord of Lingdu.
In order to conceal his tracks, he tried his best to be the mayor of Lingdu City.
As long as the people waste a little spiritual power, a pill, some thoughts, and give them some small favors, they will be grateful and think that he is the best immortal in the world.
The best immortal?
Wen Ren Huai suddenly wanted to laugh. If there were a vote now, he would probably be elected as the worst immortal in the world.
These people are sincere and honest. If you do them a favor once, they will remember it for the rest of their lives.
He didn't like them at all.
He just felt that the cakes that the children brought him with their chests were too hot, the fruits that were secretly placed at the door of the City Lord's Mansion were too sweet, and the defenseless smiles they showed him time and time again were too dazzling, and he couldn't bear it.
After truly going against the philosophy he had followed before, he felt even more tired.
It's really funny. When he was alone and hadn't killed anyone, he wanted to become a demon. Now that he has killed people and done evil things, he doesn't want to become a demon so much anymore.
".I don't know." He replied softly.
He has been sticking to his so-called beliefs almost numbly, and in the end, he didn't know what he was sticking to or what he should be sticking to.
Jiang Yu looked at him deeply, stood up, and smoothed out the slight wrinkles on his clothes with his hand: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Wen Ren Huai looked at her: "If I ask you about your choice, will you tell me?"
Jiang Yu put his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
He lowered his head again: "Kill me."
Jiang Yu chuckled: "It's not up to me to decide."
She glanced at him and saw that he looked listless and didn't look like he had anything to say, so she put the chair back against the wall and turned away.
