Chapter 2047 - 1545: Difficult Choice! Dongfang’s Obsession! (Part 2)

Nie Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Jiang Dali.

"Hmm..."

Jiang Dali nodded slightly, then shook his head, "Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. I feel that the key to invoking Nuwa Destiny isn’t strength, but spirit, it’s Life Chart... If it were purely strength, both your Aunt Dongfang and I could invoke it."

As he spoke, he looked at Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai, usually expressionless and regal, unexpectedly blushed slightly and then, facing Jiang Dali’s gaze, raised her eyebrows and nodded, "Your guess is correct. Even though Nuwa Destiny appeared just now, I didn’t feel anything special. This Destiny of Nuwa is indeed related to spirit."

What is spirit?

To support and save the world is spirit;

To sacrifice fearlessly is spirit;

Of course, causing harm to the world is also a type of spirit, but clearly, such a spirit cannot be favored by Nuwa Destiny.

Nuwa Destiny requires sincerity in spirit to be effective.

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun seemed to understand somewhat, exchanged glances, and both remembered that feeling from earlier, as well as Jiang Dali’s teachings.

Jiang Dali looked at Dongfang Bubai, shook his head slightly, and the two left the cave, leaving Feng Yun alone to heal and reflect.

"It seems that even if you walk the path of the Mother of All Yin and have devoured the Eight-headed Poison Blood, it’s still difficult to establish a connection with Nuwa."

"This was expected. My power has escalated to this level, largely due to your merit. Going further demands more time and energy, so it’s better to shift focus and manage the forces for you."

"Forces..."

Jiang Dali paced and shook his head, "Nowadays, I’m not too concerned with matters of forces anymore. What interests me and what I wish to understand is the truth about this world."

"The truth about this world...?"

Dongfang Bubai slowed her pace, surprised, and turned her head to look at Jiang Dali.

Jiang Dali paused slightly, his tiger-like determination glinting as he resolutely turned to Dongfang Bubai, "Once in Sky, I learned many deep and grand secrets about this world... Unknown secrets.

Due to the terrifying and absurd nature of the truths involved, I didn’t tell anyone, now the secrets are only known to me and Old Zhu. With your current strength and realm, I think I can tell you some truths."

Dongfang Bubai’s eyebrows furrowed, she silently gazed at Jiang Dali, saying nothing, quietly listening.

Jiang Dali continued in a deep voice, "If I told you, the world we are in right now is twisted, abnormal. Many people around us, many friends, they should never have appeared in this world, should never have met, but now, due to this world’s twisting, they’ve come together. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Dongfang Bubai’s eyebrows furrowed deeper, pondered and nodded, "Although I’m not sure what exactly the world’s twisting refers to, are you saying that some people, like Abnormal People, shouldn’t be in this world, yet ultimately appear?"

"Correct! You can understand it that way; it’s roughly what it means." Jiang Dali nodded.

Dongfang Bubai looked deeply at Jiang Dali, "Including you?"

Jiang Dali, "Including me, including you, including many people I know. Only people from the Holy Dynasty have some differences."

Dongfang Bubai seemed somewhat understanding, gently nodded, took a deep breath, "So you’ve suddenly lost interest in managing forces and want to fully understand the reason behind this world’s twisting? Or you want to change this world?

But since you say we shouldn’t be in this world, shouldn’t even meet, trying to change this world means making all of us dispersed?"

Jiang Dali sighed, folding his hands behind his back as he paced, "Correct! In the future, we may very likely face such a situation."

Dongfang Bubai’s eyes flashed, slowly shook her head, "I don’t understand! Since what should happen has happened, what should meet has already met, then these events were meant to be. Why do you want to change it, knowing that such a dispersed outcome will happen? Just to change this world?

You’re not supposed to be someone with a Savior complex; has your increasing power and higher standing made you willingly shoulder some responsibilities and self-impose shackles?"

"No!"

Jiang Dali frowned at Dongfang Bubai, spoke deep, "You’re saying this because you’re not clear about the severity of the situation. It’s not that I insist on changing this twisted world, but if I don’t, in the future, I may live well, but you all might be devoured by this twisted world."

Dongfang Bubai was puzzled, "Why?"

Jiang Dali calmly explained, "Because of Sky, because of the Twisted Land inside Sky, because the Fallen Heaven and Earth intent is devouring everything, including people who shouldn’t be in this world.

Once famous in the Martial World, Chuan Ying, Ling Donglai, Guo Jing, Wu Wudi, and many others have met with misfortune."

Dongfang Bubai’s tone turned cold, "So what does that have to do with you? What do I have to do with you? What do they have to do with you? If something must be done, why can’t we do it ourselves, make our own choices, whether misfortune or fortune, why do you need to change it?"

Before Jiang Dali could respond, Dongfang Bubai already swept away, coldly said.

"No matter how twisted this world becomes, no matter what you find, no matter if I face misfortune eventually, I don’t want to choose—separation. Since I’ve met you, it’s meant to be, it shouldn’t be forgotten... This is my choice."

"Dongfang..."

Jiang Dali stood silently on the spot, watching Dongfang Bubai leave, with a multitude of complex emotions appearing in his expression.

Resentment and hatred, love and separation, unfulfilled desires... Life is too short, some remain open and experience acceptance, some fixate and turn into obsession.

He also thought, if in the future, this twisted world returns to normal, all those who shouldn’t have gathered in this world are forced apart, returned to the world they were meant to exist in, would everyone accept this outcome, and is this the scenario he wants to see?

Dongfang Bubai was the first to express: Even if faced with misfortune in the future, even if becoming Twisted, or worse, being a red-haired ominous Lost Soul, she will not accept separation nor will she forget this portion of twisted memory.

What about the others?

"Let’s take it one step at a time... this world, if I don’t act to change it, allowing the Fallen Heaven and Earth intent to continue worsening, allowing the Supreme Alliance’s ambition to erode, what sort of situation will emerge in the future is still unknown..."

Jiang Dali sighed inwardly, turned to look at the path behind him, then at the paths ahead, finding himself already at a crossroads of choice.

...

Time flies like a white horse passing a gap; in the blink of an eye, more than two months have hurriedly passed.

On this day.

Above the Divine Iron City, red clouds spread across the sky, layers of fiery clouds bright red as if just extracted from a furnace, painting the entire city as if coated with rouge.

Intense heat gradually spread from the Holy Mountain’s direction, occasionally bringing scorching hot winds.

Many men in the city were bare-chested, hiding in dark corners, but even though sweat poured like rain, no one left the Divine Iron City at this time.

Moreover, players from all over the world continued to rush over by fast horses, and even if unable to enter the city, they gathered on nearby hills, all waiting for the historic moment of the Fire Phoenix Nirvana Resurrection.

At this very moment, atop the searing thousand-degree Holy Mountain, Jiang Dali was calmly standing with his arms crossed in Illusion Soul Gold Armor.

His Qi Mechanism locked onto the lava inside the Holy Mountain where the phoenix egg, now red like a fireball, resided, feeling the increasingly powerful energy and vitality spreading from the egg like the tide, causing the temperature in the external air to rise sharply.

The Fire Phoenix is about to reach Nirvana Resurrection today!

He will also gather the Four Spirits today, purify Sky, and completely eradicate the Fallen Heaven and Earth intent within Sky...
