Chapter 799 - 4: The Death of Er Tu

Chapter 799: Chapter 4: The Death of Er Tu

Born from the candle flame, then perished within it again.

The fire serpent’s life cycle lasted only a few brief minutes, yet Er Tu clearly felt that the other was indeed a living being with a soul.

After it perished in the candle flame, new life emerged from the ashes.

This time, there were dozens of fire serpents born from the embers.

They bit and devoured each other, fully displaying the ferocious and brutal nature of the fire serpents.

Yet it was in this cruel competition that the strongest fire serpent stood out, becoming the sole occupant of the candle flame.

The law of "survival of the fittest" was vividly demonstrated on these fire serpents.

"Life is as fleeting as an ant, able to exist only within the candle flame..."

"If not for seeing it with my own eyes, it would be truly hard to imagine that this is a life form you created."

Watching the newborn fire serpent shake its wings, Er Tu rarely became solemn.

"You see, this is just another stereotype of yours, isn’t it?"

With a slight shrug, Li Boyang calmly laughed lightly.

"I’ve never claimed to be a compassionate and benevolent Saint, that’s merely others’ assessment of me."

"Moreover, this fire serpent isn’t confined to living in this candle flame alone."

In the gap between their conversation, the strongest fire serpent also reached the end of its life, and the cycle of new life began anew.

However, this time, Li Boyang’s fingertip brushed across that flicker of candle flame.

The newly nurtured fire serpents were sent to nearby candle flames before they even had the chance to engage in slaughter.

"Uh, is this the correct way for these fire serpents to propagate?"

Momentarily frozen, the seriousness on Er Tu’s face vanished without a trace.

"But a species that requires human intervention to propagate seems to lack any inherent value?"

Er Tu never believed that Li Boyang would engage in meaningless endeavors.

Nor did he believe that the other would create a new form of life like the fire serpent without reason.

"In a natural environment, indeed such creatures have no value."

"But with you, it’s different. Your students, when practicing the art of transformation, must also learn to seek the ’meaning of life’."

"For example, by caring for this group of Red Snakes, understanding the preciousness of life from them."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Er Tu instinctively asked,

"Have you foreseen something again?"

This time Li Boyang didn’t deny it, but candidly sighed.

"Have you ever thought, the courses you’re teaching might lead to a disregard for life."

"Perhaps not now, but in the future?"

"Counting on a group capable of skillfully dissecting various creatures, able to transform at will themselves, not to walk the demonic path, do you think that’s highly probable?"

Upon hearing this, Er Tu immediately understood.

He knew that Li Boyang appearing inexplicably was definitely not without reason.

"Hmm, among the students I will teach in the future, how many will truly master the ’Thousand Transformations Divine Power’?"

To Li Boyang’s surprise, Er Tu didn’t focus on those potentially going astray, but rather, was curious about how many students would succeed in their training.

Of course, this wasn’t because Er Tu was habitually carefree.

But because he knew, since Li Boyang was aware of this issue, those future students were unlikely to stray anymore.

As for the potential rare exceptions?

As an ancient relic from the Divine Era, Er Tu never believed life’s future had only one path to follow.

Whether due to their nature or other reasons.

As long as these students are willing to pay the price and bear the consequences, the Evil Demonic Path is yet another life choice, no?

"You... as always, are carefree."

With a tone of slight helplessness, Li Boyang continued to explain.

"Among those students you teach, there indeed will be one who fully inherits your legacy, even surpassing you."

"But it’s also because of her existence, most of your students fall into the Demon Path, becoming one of the many Celestial Demons in the Desire Realm."

"It even led to a new demonic branch in the Celestial Realm specializing in transformations — the Wan Bian Mo!"

Slightly raising an eyebrow, Er Tu never expected that his future disciple would be so formidable.

From the name "Wan Bian Mo," it’s clear to discern.

This should belong to a branch of the Qin Dapo, a group of Celestial Demons maximizing their transformation abilities.

"Unfortunately, the crooked path remains the crooked path..."

"Ignoring the great path to enlightenment, insisting on turning into a Celestial Demon, no wonder future me won’t stop him."

Upon hearing Er Tu say this, Li Boyang blinked his eyes in an odd manner.

"Actually... it’s not that you won’t stop him, but you died trying to stop her."

"Or more accurately, she fell into complete demonization because of your death."

Once Li Boyang said this, Er Tu’s expression froze immediately.

"That student of mine... is she a female?"

After receiving a confirming nod from Li Boyang, Er Tu’s expression turned even more peculiar.

"And your next words, are they going to be that she likes me?"

With a slight shoulder shrug, Li Boyang laughed ambiguously.

"That I’m not sure of, but I do know Xuansu Clan and Ying Long aren’t very pleased."

Unable to help but slap his forehead, Er Tu suddenly regretted speaking so much.

"Let me ask one more thing... is she my student now?"

Folding his arms across his chest, Li Boyang teasingly asked in return.

"What do you think?"

Seeing this, Er Tu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems she’s not my student now, that’s a relief."

Having spent so many years with Li Boyang, Er Tu had a fair understanding of his character.

Since the other didn’t answer directly, then most likely the matter hadn’t occurred yet.

"Tsk tsk, what a bore, I wanted to see you jump in anxiety!"

Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Er Tu retorted unyieldingly.

"Well, I’d like to see you get anxious too!"

"When Big Girl stirs up trouble again, I’ll definitely bring a chair and sit next to watch you jump!"

After a round of mutual teasing, they suddenly burst into laughter, rediscovering that long-lost feeling once more.

"Thank you!"

After a brief laughter, Er Tu gradually subdued his smile, softly expressing his gratitude.

At this point, if Er Tu didn’t understand why Li Boyang appeared here, then all these years would have been in vain.

This visit was to alter his destined demise.

Thinking of possibly falling for his own student in the future...

Imagining Xuansu Clan and Ying Long weeping before his corpse in the future...

Er Tu’s heart was filled with agitation, as well as indescribable confusion and helplessness.
