Chapter 752 - 112: No Choice
Xiao Zao, don’t become a god.
Upon hearing these words, the Divine Body of the God of Pure Beauty noticeably trembled violently.
In the dream bubble, Feng Guangsheng’s voice continued.
"What the Black Hood says is not to be trusted."
"But I have no better way to help you break free from this endless torment."
"I don’t want immortality, nor do I want you to become a god. I just want you to live out your days healthily and happily, but it’s all too late now."
"How can I save you, my daughter?"
Han Zhan listened to the voice in the memory dream bubble.
He seemed to see a father with a sorrowful face, looking despairing and helpless.
This should be the memory scene of Feng Guangsheng trying to stop the God of Pure Beauty from reincarnating.
For some reason, it turned into a memory dream bubble, appearing at this moment.
The memories contained therein, and those self-talking voices may be just sighs and regrets to others.
But for the God of Pure Beauty, it is nothing less than a spiritual blow beyond that of any god!
At this moment, more memory scenes began uncontrollably to appear in Feng Xiaozao’s mind.
"Dream Death" helped her recover part of her memory, but certainly not all of it.
Those new memories surged like a tide, all flooding into her mind:
"Xiao Zao, I’m back."
Feng Guangsheng pushed open the door and walked in from outside.
The light outside was very bright, while inside was pitch dark.
Xiao Zao was blinded by the sudden light, but she didn’t turn her head or close her eyes, just stared straight ahead.
"I want to go out and see... the outside world..." a weak Xiao Zao said while lying on the bed.
Her words made Feng Guangsheng momentarily pause.
The sadness in his eyes flashed and was deeply buried, a comforting smile appearing on his face.
"Once your illness is cured, you’ll be able to go out and see it. By then, I will accompany you."
While saying this, Feng Guangsheng took out the medicine he concocted today, while hiding his bruised arms.
"Xiao Zao, let’s drink the medicine."
"Don’t worry, I recently heard some news. As long as you can become a Cultivator, your illness can be completely cured."
"It will get better, everything will be alright..."
Xiao Zao quietly finished the medicine.
She lifted her head, looking at Feng Guangsheng’s hunched back, opened her mouth.
There was something she wanted to say, but in the end, she didn’t say it.
...
"Feng Xiaozao! Why do you insist on immortality? Why must you walk the Longevity Dao?"
"You weren’t like this before!"
In the Pure Beauty Paradise, two figures were loudly arguing.
This was the fiercest argument between Feng Guangsheng and Xiao Zao.
After this argument, Feng Guangsheng never spoke to her again.
"Stop reincarnating, stop chasing your Longevity Dao!"
"Every reincarnation makes you forget something, each time you reincarnate, you become less of Feng Xiaozao, you are just the exalted God of Pure Beauty!"
"Why? I don’t understand, why! Is longevity really that important to you?"
His father’s anguished and resentful roar resurfaced in her memory.
This time, he was no longer the loving father, his eyes were like those of an enraged lion.
By that time, Xiao Zao, who had already become a god, remained silent.
Her silence seemed to give an answer.
"Fine, fine, fine!"
Feng Guangsheng heavily repeated "fine" three times, then turned and left without looking back.
Xiao Zao watched his distant figure, opened her mouth.
There was something she wanted to say, but in the end, she didn’t say it.
...
The God of Pure Beauty’s reincarnation failed.
When "human" and "god" were forcefully separated, She saw the scene of Feng Guangsheng falling to his death in Death Row Paradise.
At that moment, a tightly wound string suddenly loosened.
In the final moment of Xiao Zao’s failed reincarnation,
She finally spoke the words she had long wanted to say in her heart:
"I don’t desire immortality, but I have no choice."
"I just want to always be by your side, Father."
The scene ended, returning to reality.
At this moment, Xiao Zao, who regained all her memories, shed tears from her tightly closed eyes.
Because the image of Feng Guangsheng’s death,
completely awakened Her from being lost in the Longevity Dao!
This is not an afterthought.
This is purely the bond between a father and his daughter.
"I refuse to become a god."
"Because it was my father’s last wish for me."
A faint voice resounded in the air.
The originally cohesive Divine Body of the God of Pure Beauty cracked once again.
Dawn Number Nine finally panicked.
He stepped forward and shouted at the figure in the sky:
"Xiao Zao, I know you can hear me!"
"Quickly stop Her, don’t be swayed by Her emotions!"
"You are the Transmigrator, you are not the God of Pure Beauty, nor are you Feng Guangsheng’s daughter."
"Use your consciousness to absorb Her lingering thoughts and take back control of that body!"
Dawn Number Nine’s voice rose to a near roar towards the end.
Hearing his voice, the Xiao Zao in the sky seemed to lower her head and glanced at him.
"Once you regain control, you can become a god."
"What is there to hesitate about."
"Don’t forget, you drank my ’Dream Death Wine’, you’ve already made a pact with me."
"Consider carefully what the cost is for breaking the pact!"
Seeing Xiao Zao unmoved, Dawn Number Nine resorted to threats.
Xiao Zao’s gaze finally landed on Han Zhan standing there.
At this moment, she, who had been awakened by those memory scenes, remembered the moment Han Zhan extended his hand to her again.
A gentle smile appeared on her face, she had made up her mind.
"I refuse."
It was chaos.
Everything was in utter chaos.
The predestined trajectory once again went through drastic changes, making Dawn Number Nine’s face beneath the Black Hood turn livid.
Watching the cooked duck about to fly away, he gritted his teeth fiercely, made up his mind.
"The ’Fated Protagonist’ may be rare, but you are not indispensable. If you’re so unappreciative, then don’t blame me."
"I intended to keep it until you became a god as a means of control over you, but since you’re so disobedient, I’ll have to detonate it early."
Dawn Number Nine said and opened his hand, a cluster of seven-colored light appeared in his palm.
It was the "Dream Death Wine" Xiao Zao had drunk.
"I want you to know."
"What it means to have no choice!"
"Xiao Zao, wake up!"
Dawn Number Nine uttered softly, crushing the seven-colored light in his hand.
Previously clear-headed Xiao Zao suddenly became dazed, like a marionette.
Immediately after, she heard Dawn Number Nine’s voice.
"Go, swallow those remaining thoughts of the God of Pure Beauty, and then complete the fusion."
"I want you, to descend upon the human realm as a god!"
