Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 1263 - 632: Bad News, Bad News, and More Bad News_4

"The premise of sowing discord is that you must be on the same side, right? Besides, the character of Hua Xu Monarch is known to all under heaven; what is there to slander?

Rest assured, even if he's watching, he won't care."

The remnant shadow of Ci Ji shook its head: "Between magnets, there is mutual attraction, Ji Jue, as one of the few of our kind in this era.

The insignificant fragments I left behind will naturally be drawn and attracted by you."

"Hold on for a moment—"

Ji Jue started to feel numb, dizzy from trying to question others: "What's all this? Same kind? How am I the same as you?

I'm not like you madmen!"

"..."

The expression of Ci Ji King grew increasingly subtle, looking at him with a kind of...the look Hua Xu Monarch gave him when he denied being a Mohist.

So familiar.

"Ji Jue, in our era, there was nothing as convenient as your Superior and Great Evil."

Ci Ji was ultimately not Hua Xu, not one to keep suspense, he spoke straightforwardly: "In a barren chaos like Hell, there's no Superior, no such shadows, no smooth path or Heavenly Destiny to follow.

If you want power, you must embrace and accept everything you see...in other words, control everything based on yourself."

He asked, "Doesn't this sound familiar?

"..."

Ji Jue was silent, restraining the urge to check Chun Jun.

The overlapping and cycle of soul and reflection, even without relying on Superior, without dependence on Great Evil, a structure and foundation self-realized.

To be honest...

"Though it feels somewhat similar, isn't it too far off?"

"Distance is not in far or near, the key is, you have already taken that step, haven't you?" Ci Ji sighed with regret: "If it were our era, someone like you would surely achieve great things, right?

Unfortunately, in this era, with the constraints and shackles of Superior and Great Evil, it is destined to be difficult."

"..."

Ji Jue kept silent, appearing calm, while actually being utterly numb.

Aren't you playing with my mindset?

Good news, I seem to be a natural-born King of Chaos. Bad news, the King of Chaos is outdated now, doesn't exist!

Then you might as well not have told me!

"Apologies, perhaps it's just my didactic nature."

Ci Ji chuckled self-deprecatingly, sighed: "Gains and losses, perhaps Heavenly Destiny, an old man loses his horse, who knows it's not a blessing? For you, a dead end may actually be a good thing.

The path is difficult, moreover, there's still someone ahead."

"..."

Ji Jue was momentarily perplexed, pondering for a long time, unable to clarify.

Fortunately, Ci Ji didn't have a habit of withholding, just as he said, straightforward and didactic: "Though I don't understand this era of yours, the flames haven't settled into pure white.

Which is to say, even now, the thief of the fire likely still exists within the flames.

Though it can hardly be called a matter of life and death, the obsession remains...if you continue to grow, he will not miss the opportunity to usurp."

"..."

Ji Jue was silent, unable to speak.

His gaze towards Ci Ji growing distinctly peculiar.

Is this a King of Chaos, this is clearly a crow spirit, how come every word from you is bad news?

After hearing so much, not a shred of good news, all dire tidings!

"Alright..."

He rubbed his brow, contemplated for a moment: "As the saying goes, meeting is destiny, if you have any unresolved grievances or unfulfilled obsessions in life, don't hesitate, I'll help if I can."

Ci Ji was unmoved, remaining indifferent, long used to Ji Jue's various probes: "Before my death, I was well-aware, now as just a remnant and reflection, what obsessions could there be?

Even if there were, why rely on others?"

"In that case..." Ji Jue suddenly leaned in, grinned: "Since you are here, could you help me out?"

"Truly regretful, Ji Jue, likewise beyond my help."

Ci Ji King shrugged helplessly, spread his hands: "In the past, during my life, regardless of who came, if I knew, I would never withhold, if asked, I would give my utmost.

Yet in my current state, what can I assist you with? As a remnant, but a reflection of the past, an imprint and accessory within Shangrila.

Now what you see as Ci Ji is merely a reflection in your eyes, as long as you leave Shangrila, I will return to nothingness."

"Enough, stop talking."

Ji Jue raised his hand, interrupting him.

So high and mighty, tangled me for so long, just an ancient ghost and spirit!

And this ghost was drawn by myself…

What did I do to deserve this? First Hua Xu Monarch, then Ci Ji King...you Kings of Chaos are truly idle, haunting and all coming to me.

Clearly can't rely on them.

"Truthfully, there's only one reminder left."

Ci Ji King thought for a moment, lightly sighed: "Based on my understanding of Shangrila, progress should not be this slow... Shangrila itself covers reality with personal obsession, thereby increasing efficiency.

And your arrival is also a part of the assistance, whether you're willing or not.

If you calculate progress by your common logic, you will surely fall far behind. So, if you really want to stop those sacrificial killings, achieving evil entities, you might need to hurry."

"Need to be even faster, much faster."

The phantom sighed lightly, gazing at the giant tree which had accompanied him for countless times, listening to the wolf howl rising from the wind sweeping through its branches.

He said decidedly: "There's no need for a long tug of war, within three days, the third Wolf will be born."

Ji Jue stood up in fright.

Incredulous.

Yet no matter how unwilling to believe, he couldn't ignore the warning from Ci Ji King.

And just as he was considering asking Lu Changsheng to release this news, he found, there was no need.

Above the firmament, a sound of splitting came.

So piercing, it pained everyone's eardrums.

A glaring crack appeared out of nowhere above the sky, spreading serpentine, as if a vast and majestic power descended from the heavens, shattered the tree's shade, driving straight to the Dragon!

Then immediately, the ground trembled.

Amidst earth-shattering roars, the storm swept, devouring everything.
