Chapter 45: The Beginning
Ji Chen looked at the pile of ashes in front of him, his expression was a little trance, he couldn't believe that in just a few minutes, a living person died like this, and even the body turned into ashes.
He looked around, the white flames had all disappeared, and everywhere he could see was scorched earth, Ji Chen suddenly felt like a knife in his heart, the few people who came to this world together at the beginning, he was the only one left at this time.
Ji Chen knelt on the ground, held the ashes of Brother Kun's body after being incinerated with both hands, put his head on the ground, and kept repeating in his mouth: "Why did I come here, why, why did I ......"
The scorching sun turned into a blood-red remnant sun, and the bleak light sprinkled on the scorched earth made everything even more desolate, but Ji Chen still maintained the same posture, as if he was asleep, as if he was meditating.
"How do you feel?" a familiar voice suddenly came.
Ji Chen was stunned for a moment, slowly raised his head, and from the afterglow of the sunset, he saw a familiar figure, Mu Li!
"It's you?!Aren't you dead?!" Ji Chen's eyes were instantly bloodshot.
"How can I die in this world, I, the master, die. Mu Li smiled slightly.
Ji Chen's brows tightened, and he was very puzzled by Mu Li's words.
Mu Li suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and then saw a mist around his body. After a while, the mist dispersed, and I saw that the original Mu Li had turned into a man with fairy wind bones.
The man's eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were sharp, and there was a hint of arrogance on his fair face from beginning to end.
"You, who are you?" Ji Chen looked at the man in front of him and asked vigilantly.
"My name is Nangong Nian, the road name is Xuxuanzi, and I am an immortal envoy sent by the fairy world. I am the Lord of this immeasurable realm. The man said slowly.
"You, why are you harming us!" Ji Chen stood up and roared at Nangong Nian.
"I didn't harm you, this world is not a beautiful world for you, but an unimaginably cold fairyland. The weak will only suffer here, only the strong can fight and become gods, and your companions are too weak, so I helped them get rid of it in advance. Nangong Nian looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
"What about me, why don't you kill me with me?"
"You have to understand that I am not your enemy, your real enemy is the strong man in this immeasurable realm and the murderer on the god platform, and I am here to help you. ”
"Help me, help me, why did you trick us into the god platform, what are your intentions!" Ji Chen shouted hysterically.
"My intentions are very simple, I have been waiting for you for tens of thousands of years in this immeasurable realm, and then I will help you become a god. ”
"Wait for me, what do you mean?!" Ji Chen felt very puzzled, this was the second person in this world to say this to him.
"When you killed the Evil Monkey for the first time, did you feel as if you were a different person?" Nangong Nian asked rhetorically.
"How do you know, can you know my whereabouts?" Ji Chen didn't answer, but asked again.
Nangong Nian smiled slightly: "Hehe, because I am the guide of every Heavenly Mandate, I can grasp the whereabouts of all Heavenly Mandate Persons before they reach the first realm." ”
"What is Destiny?"
"All visitors from the outside world are called Destiny Ones. Since the aura of the outside world has long been cut off, the people who come here from the outside world are very sensitive to the sense of aura, so their talent and cultivation speed are very terrifying, and the people of the Infinite Realm call them the Mandate of Heaven. However, the talent of the person who kills the Destiny will also be improved, and even the blood of the Destiny is called a good medicine, so the Destiny is very vulnerable when he first arrives here. As long as the Mandate of Heaven has not cultivated to the first realm, everyone can only use the immortal blade next to the Ten Thousand Immortal Stone to kill the Mandate of Heaven on the God Sealing Platform, otherwise they will be punished by Heaven. But this mechanic alone is not enough, so it is up to me to lead the way for the Destiny. Nangong Nian explained some rules about the Mandate of Heaven.
"According to you, my partners and I are both Destiny Beings, why do you want to kill them!" Ji Chen shouted angrily.
"Because you're special. ”
Ji Chen raised his eyebrows.
"How special am I?"
Nangong Nian replied: "This is back to the question I just asked you?"
Ji Chen knew that he was talking about the scene when he killed a tailless monkey for the first time in the Yin Yang Valley.
"That's right!"
"This is what makes you special, because you have a soul in your body that is proud of the world, the Nine Heavens Xuan Sheng!" Nangong Nian said slowly, word by word, with a frenzy in his eyes.
"Nine Heavens Xuansheng?" Ji Chen muttered, could it be the locked person he saw in the void space just now?
"Heh, in fact, the divine bird Bi Fang that just appeared was also specially arranged for you, the Xuan Sage Immortal Emperor respected fire, and the divine fire within a radius of a hundred miles has been absorbed by you, so you will not die. ”
When Ji Chen heard this, he realized that he should have absorbed the divine fire just now, so the soul called the Nine Heavens Xuansheng woke up for the first time. But when he thought of Brother Kun's death, his mind was all replaced by anger.
"It turns out that you did it! You killed Brother Kun!" Ji Chen's index finger pointed at Nangong Nian.
"I repeat, I am not your enemy. You just happened to catch up with the god-forcing ceremony in the Infinite Realm once every three hundred and thirty-three years, if I didn't deliberately arrange for the Divine Bird Bi Fang to rush to the east, not only would Brother Kun in your mouth die, but the soul in your body would not be able to wake up, so you, too!" Nangong Nian said with a smile.
"What the hell is this damn soul, what does it have to do with me?" Ji Chen said angrily.
"Bold, I don't allow you to insult the Xuansheng Immortal Emperor!" Nangong Nian suddenly shouted angrily. "The soul in your body is the supreme Nine Heavens Xuansheng Emperor of the Immortal Realm, and you are his reincarnation, otherwise, you think I will help you?"
"Reincarnation, am I his reincarnation?"
"Everywhere you go, it's all fate, you will come here, it's your destiny, become a strong person, it's also your destiny, from the moment you appear in this immeasurable realm, you are no longer yourself, you are just the stepping stone of the Xuansheng Immortal Emperor to seal the gods. ”
Nangong Nian's words beat Ji Chen's heart word by word.
"Why? Why should I live for others? He wants to be a god, why should he use me as a stepping stone! I, I want to live the life I want to live!" Ji Chen shouted towards Nangong Nian.
"Hahaha, it's up to you, as long as you have enough ability to go against the sky and reverse your life, you can live for yourself!" Nangong Nian smiled with a smile on his sleeves.
"I've said everything that needs to be said, the path to the gods still has to be walked by yourself, I look forward to the day when you open the reincarnated soul!" After speaking, Nangong Nian's body turned into a wisp of smoke and dust, slowly dissipating.
Ji Chen faced the blood-red horizon, and his lonely shadow was stretched extremely long.
"I don't want to cultivate immortals, I don't want to be a god, I just want to live, just live well. At dusk, Ji Chen seemed to be talking to the setting sun, and he seemed to be talking to himself.
In the middle of the Yuanyang, in the city of Tianyong, in the Lanshen Sect.
In an extremely secret secret room, a figure who was meditating cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes, and this person was Nangong Nian.
I saw him nod and laugh twice, and said in his mouth: "Hehe, the Xuansheng Immortal Emperor has finally appeared, and my game of chess can finally start!"
