Chapter 1958 - 1501: The Locked Prison Cage!
Suddenly.
A ripple of space fluctuation abruptly appeared.
The group of Lost Souls was alarmed, looking in shock at the suddenly opened space rift, wanting to curse, but a fear stemming from the depths of their souls rendered them mute, stumbling as they tried to retreat.
At this moment, within the pitch-black rift, a cold golden vertical eye suddenly opened, targeting over a dozen Lost Souls. A beam formed from the convergence of dazzling golden light suddenly shot from the space rift, landing on the dozen Lost Souls.
"Ah!——"
"Hiss!!"
The dozen Lost Souls howled in pain, rolling on the ground, blue smoke rising from their bodies, as if being purified and corroded, their red fur burning, scale armor melting.
"You’re here... Congratulations, Brother Jiang, on successfully controlling this Earth Crystal Core!"
A dignified middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the ground opened his eyes, dragon-like, looking at Jiang Dali emerging from the space rift and the Earth Crystal Core beneath him, his gaze involuntarily becoming more fervent.
Jiang Dali’s gaze fell on Zhu Wushi, looking at this old friend whose left eye was filled with the green fluctuations of Earth Intent, while the right eye was filled with the white light of Heavenly Will, his face intermittently shrouded in black mist, he couldn’t help but frown slightly, lowering the Earth Crystal Core down, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Old Zhu, you still came to this Twisted Land, could it be... you’ve devoured a lot of the fallen Heaven and Earth’s Intent?"
"Hehe... Brother Jiang, no need to worry."
Zhu Wushi smiled indifferently, raising his arms slowly, a vast aura rising from him, saying, "Look at my current state, I’m doing very well, although my power is still not up to par with yours, as long as I continue, surpassing you in the future is only a matter of time, by then with us brothers working together, is there anything in this world that cannot be accomplished? Even if you want to leave this world and return to the one originally yours..."
"Silence!"
Jiang Dali’s eyes shone brightly, coldly interrupting Zhu Wushi’s words.
Zhu Wushi’s brow slightly raised, his expression of arrogance gradually eased, avoiding Jiang Dali’s gaze, turning to look at the nearby Lost Souls being gradually purified by the breath exhaled from the countless faces within the Earth Crystal Core, he sighed softly.
"Sorry, Brother Jiang, I really shouldn’t have mentioned your matters in front of these outsiders, but rest assured, I’m doing well... unprecedentedly well, do whatever you wish, I will fully support you in the days to come."
Jiang Dali gave Zhu Wushi a deep look, slightly nodding, then said slowly, "Mr. Zhu, you should know, I actually do not have much ambition for this world, whether it is to control this world or to live as a carefree person, what I pursue is nothing more than living openly and honestly, with no doubts or desires in my heart, that’s enough.
For ordinary people, marrying, having children, a house full of descendants, living without worries, is to live freely and at ease.
For us, meeting the first two requirements is too easy, but to truly live without worries... it’s just too difficult..."
"Living without worries..." Zhu Wushi fell into silence, carefully savoring those four words.
Those four words, he pondered repeatedly, once seemingly possessing them for a time.
But now, it seems he has lost them again.
Why has he become stronger, yet also lost some things he once had?
Is it because by gaining something, one is destined to lose something else?
Jiang Dali looked at Zhu Wushi’s contemplative face, his arrogance turned inward, took a deep breath, spoke calmly, "Mr. Zhu, things have come to this point, neither of us can turn back.
I just hope you remember, hold fast to this moment of genuine sincerity, never laugh it away in the future."
With that said, Jiang Dali spoke no more, feeling slightly complicated within.
Back then, when Zhu Wushi began to try devouring Heaven and Earth’s Intent, it was mainly under his guidance.
Now, even if he feels uneasy about it, he cannot lecture the other in a righteous posture, this is both the other’s choice and something he facilitated, he bears certain responsibility for it.
Even if Zhu Wushi were to make some mistake in the future, it’s something Jiang Dali has already prepared himself for mentally, and he would not for any reason blame the other, if anyone is to blame, it can only be himself.
At this moment, he noticed that the dozen Lost Souls, under the breath expelled by the countless faces within the Earth Crystal Core, had shed their grotesque forms, returning to normal.
And simultaneously from his interface, he received a progress notification for the main quest of "Heaven and Earth’s Forgiveness."
"As expected, the countless faces within the Earth Crystal Core accumulating good deeds are the cause, which can eliminate the evil outcomes created by the Lost Souls..."
Jiang Dali felt a joy within, then directed the breath from the countless faces within the Earth Crystal Core towards Zhu Wushi, attempting to eliminate the karma and blame brought by the fallen Heaven and Earth’s Intent within him.
Zhu Wushi sat cross-legged, eyes closed, looking peaceful, did not resist, allowing Jiang Dali to proceed.
Strands of fallen aura, like the Heavenly Pool Black Mist, gradually washed away by the breath expelled from countless faces, were gradually expelled from his body.
"Without removing the cause... hard to remove the effect... without removing the cause, hard to remove the effect... you eliminated the evil outcomes, but alas, it’s too late, human power is sometimes exhausted, these still are not enough..."
The Twisted within the vessel of resplendent yet non-dazzling white light, their voice aged and sorrowful, uttered a gentle sigh.
