LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 360: A Truly Sad Story!
Chapter 360: A Truly Sad Story!
Although facing the pressure of the Supreme Being was enormous, Lin Fengmian quickly regained his composure and cleared his thoughts.
At present, there were only three options.
Option one: avoid the risk, abandon Junyan Empire and Jun Yunshang, and flee.
However, without the protection of a sage, Junyan Empire and Jun Yunshang would be in danger, surrounded by wolves.
Even someone as ruthless as Lin Fengmian couldn’t bring himself to do this, let alone Luo Xue, who had played a crucial role in putting Jun Yunshang on the throne.
Option two: betting that history wouldn’t change, relying on Luo Xue’s immortality, and watching events unfold.
But Lin Fengmian rejected this option as well, because Luo Xue would never agree to it.
If the Qinghua Supreme Being were to die as a result, Luo Xue would regret it for the rest of her life.
Option three: The two of them would take on the Netherworld Sword Saint alone and face the possible arrival of the Heavenly Fiend Supreme without calling for help.
After careful consideration, Lin Fengmian could only choose this option.
If they lost the bet, he and Luo Xue would die, proving that history could be changed.
If they won, the two of them would escape alive, proving that history was indeed unalterable.
The premise was that they absolutely couldn’t reveal Qinghua’s identity, and they couldn’t implicate Qinghua Supreme.
They had to make sure that the Heavenly Fiend Supreme couldn’t discover Luo Xue’s true identity!
With this thought, Lin Fengmian’s eyes became resolute and he made up his mind.
Since he had already made his decision, he began to devour a pile of documents, silently memorizing them.
Racing against time, he cross-checked various historical records before committing the confirmed facts to memory.
So history can’t be changed?
He would personally write a book about Junyan Empire’s history for the girl and see if that wouldn’t disturb the world.
But as he thought about this, he suddenly remembered a phrase.
The Empress Fengyao was said to be omniscient, almost as if she had foreknowledge.
Could this be the truth behind Empress Feng Yao’s supposed omniscience?
Once again, Lin Fengmian felt a sense of powerlessness, but his eyes became even more resolute.
That night, after doing his homework, Lin Fengmian smiled faintly and reactivated the Double Fish Pendant.
The enemy from a thousand years ago would now feel the mysterious power from a thousand years later.
The darkness descended once more, and Lin Fengmian found himself back in that dark space.
Luo Xue was happy to see him, but also looked confused, asking in surprise, “How did you come back?”
“I had no choice but to come back,” Lin Fengmian said with a helpless smile.
“What do you mean?” Luo Xue asked, furrowing her brow.
“Luo Xue, we didn’t change history; instead, we became a part of it,” Lin Fengmian said solemnly.
Luo Xue frowned, “Are you saying that nothing has changed on your side? How is that possible?”
“I clearly killed the Heaven-Soaring Sword Saint and put Jun Yunshang on the throne, so how could nothing have changed?”
Lin Fengmian sighed, “Jun Yunshang is actually Empress Fenyao. We didn’t change history; instead, we contributed to it.”
“The Heaven-Soaring Sword Saint’s Honored Position wasn’t inherited from Lingtian, but rather taken by force.”
Luo Xue’s eyes dimmed and she looked disbelieving, “How could this be?”
She never thought that Lin Fengmian’s words would come true and become part of history.
Does this mean that history is unchangeable?
No matter what they did, they were just a part of the events that had already happened, a part of this history.
Looking at Luo Xue who was lost and discouraged, Lin Fengmian’s eyes became more determined than ever.
No matter what happened, he was determined to save Luo Xue!
Even if history was truly unalterable, he still had a chance to save her.
After all, according to the records, Luo Xue had entered the Heavenly Abyss, one of the Four Forbidden Areas, and her life or death was unknown.
If he could deceive the world and make them think that she had entered the Heavenly Abyss in line with the historical records, perhaps he could save her?
Lin Fengmian’s mind was racing with this idea, and he became even more resolute in his determination to save Luo Xue.
Even if they were forced into the Heavenly Abyss, as long as they were well prepared, there was still a chance of survival.
Being trapped in the Heavenly Abyss was still better than dying on the spot!
After a while, Luo Xue finally composed herself and smiled, “Don’t worry about me, I’m fine now!”
“It’s not surprising that history can’t be changed and cause and effect can’t be reversed.”
Lin Fengmian said softly, “Luo Xue, don’t lose hope yet. Even if history can’t be changed, there is still room for maneuver.”
He shared his idea with Luo Xue, and she understood it quickly.
“You want to fool Heaven, or rather, fool the world. But will it really work?”
Lin Fengmian smiled, “Who knows if this isn’t the original course of history? It can’t get any worse than it is now, right?”
Luo Xue’s eyes warmed slightly and she laughed, “I never thought I’d be comforted by you.”
Lin Fengmian deliberately changed the subject and joked, “Instead of telling you the truth with my mouth, I would rather tell you the truth with my hands.”
Luo Xue noticed his gaze and blushed, turning away slightly, “You’re such a pervert, stop being so indecent. What did you gain from your trip back?”
Lin Fengmian’s expression turned serious, and he told Luo Xue about the records he had found.
Luo Xue listened, lost in thought, and frowned, “How did this get involved with the Netherworld Sword Saint and the Supreme Being’s projection?”
Lin Fengmian shared his speculation, and since they were in this together, he didn’t hold back.
After all, he was the one who lusted after Luo Xue’s body.
“What is your plan?” Luo Xue asked with a frown.
“Answer me a few questions before that,” Lin Fengmian said, his expression serious.
“Go ahead,” Luo Xue said, her expression also turning serious.
“I’ve heard that we can’t discuss the Supreme Being, or they’ll sense it. Is that true?” Lin Fengmian asked.
Luo Xue nodded, “It’s like when you hear your name being called from afar, and you subconsciously react. The Supreme Being can amplify that feeling countless times.”
“Actually, the Supreme Being doesn’t like this feeling either, so they have forbidden the discussion of their names so as not to interfere with normal cultivation.”
Lin Fengmian realized that everything had its pros and cons.
This ability might be helpful against enemies, but in daily life, it would be annoying, like having countless flies buzzing in your ear.
“Is there a range limit to this sensation? For example, if you call out to the Qinghua Supreme Being in the Northern Abyss, will she sense it?”
Luo Xue nodded seriously, “If it were someone else, they might not sense it, but as her direct disciple, my master would definitely sense it.”
Lin Fengmian looked at her confident expression and asked curiously, “Luo Xue, how are you so sure?”
Luo Xue looked a bit embarrassed, “Because I tested it recently.”
“Tell me more,” Lin Fengmian said, his curiosity piqued.
Luo Xue’s expression became unnatural, “I was in the Eastern Wilderness with my Senior Sister Tingyu. We thought we were far enough away that our master wouldn’t hear us.”
“So I criticized our master a bit, and she heard me. She crossed the domains and hit me with a couple of swords.”
Lin Fengmian pressed his lips together, trying to stifle his laugh and said, “Yes, it’s indeed a sad story.”
Luo Xue looked at him seriously, and Lin Fengmian held back for a while before finally bursting out laughing.
