The sky was gloomy, thunderclouds were rolling, and although it was daytime, there was no sun.
"Sacrifice... yourself and become fodder for heaven?"
Ye An said doubtfully.
Qi Yuexi said calmly: "Not bad."
"Aeons ago, spiritual energy revived, and people in the world embarked on the path of spiritual practice, yearning to ascend to godhood, practice cultivation to become immortals, and long for immortality."
"Fairy tales that can ascend to heaven are actually carefully crafted lies."
She was silent for a moment, then gently raised her hand and covered her chest.
"Humans have three souls and seven souls. Only with a complete soul can they enter reincarnation in the order of heaven and be reborn as a human being."
"However, 70% of my soul has been destroyed by heaven. Even if I successfully escape from heaven, I will not be reincarnated again."
Pale language cannot describe what she experienced in the past. She worked hard as the previous empress and as the previous executor of the will of heaven, but she got such an ending, which is unfair.
"I can even conclude that-"
Qi Yuexi said in a deep voice: "Only the bodies and souls of monks who have gone through thousands of tempers are the most qualified to become the nutrients of heaven. The other unqualified people will be thrown into reincarnation, reincarnated as humans, and practice again."
Ye An said: "So is this the reason why you want to overthrow the temple?"
As a force supported by Heaven, the temple master is the direct executor of Heaven's will. If it is successfully overthrown, it will be a heavy blow to Heaven.
But Qi Yuexi is not such a person.
In other words, her ambition is far beyond that.
She chuckled and said, "Wrong."
"I just want to overthrow the law of heaven, destroy the lies weaved by the law of heaven, and take back my own soul. Before that, the power of the temple and the gods still needs to be borrowed."
"It's just a pain for Xiao Chenxi...but there's nothing we can do about it. For her, it's death in the end."
Qi Yuexi's eyes fell on Qi Xi.
The relationship between the two of them is like the relationship between Qi Xi and Mu Qingxue, they are both teacher and mother, and are inseparable.
Moreover, Qi Xi was also a fatherless and motherless person that Yue Xi brought back to the temple.
Ye An was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and stared into the blurred and tired eyes of the silver-haired woman in his arms.
"So, what will happen to Qi Xi?" he asked.
Qi Yuexi's eyes were calm and she said disapprovingly: "Die."
"The contract given to her by the law of heaven guarantees that she will not suffer from birth, old age, illness or death. And the injuries of blood, bone, consciousness, meridians and spiritual veins are inherited by the gods and will heal themselves."
"Now that her inheritance has been taken back by me, the connection with the contract with Heaven is also in my hands..."
Ye An frowned slightly and said, "So Qi Xi turned back into a mortal."
If so—
It sounds ridiculous, but in fact... maybe there's nothing wrong with it. From the beginning, she had wanted to retire and live in seclusion, but she was unable to find the next successor.
But now that Qi Yuexi has come forward to take over, why should we worry about this
But this idea is too idealistic, and the real situation is far from that simple.
Qi Yuexi shook her head slightly, "It can be said that he is a mortal, but his remaining life span is... twenty years at most, and he will die today at least."
"Her consciousness will gradually dissipate, until in the end, although her physical body will remain forever, her consciousness and reason will disappear, and she will sleep forever."
In other words, Qi Xi will become a vegetative state.
Over a long period of time, the inheritance of gods has long been integrated with her consciousness. The moment the divine inheritance is taken away, it symbolizes that her consciousness has been destroyed.
Physical injuries can still be cured, but injuries to the consciousness cannot be cured.
Ye An never thought about it. He thought that under the prophecy of the leaves of the world tree, he could avoid the difficulty of the level and complete the main mission.
But who stipulates that there is only one difficulty in a main line mission
He could escape the changes in the skeletons of the Crescent Sect, he could escape the rebellion of the Sifang Palace Master, he could escape the assassination of the Tantai Sword, but he could not escape Yue'er in the end.
Just like thousands of river branches, they will eventually flow into the same sea. Even if the rebellion of the Sifang Palace Master could be predicted, the resurrection of the previous empress Qi Yuexi could not be predicted.
Ye An was silent. At this moment, his thoughts were confused and he just stared at Qi Xi who was sleeping in his arms, silent.
"Okay, okay... I have answered your two questions."
Qi Yuexi said calmly: "Now, it's up to me—"
But she hasn't finished speaking yet.
Ye An interrupted again and said, "I have one last question."
“…”
Qi Yuexi frowned slightly, and after a moment, she said coldly: "Say."
Ye An asked: "Will you let us two go today, or will you eradicate the roots here?"
Right now, thunderclouds are gathering and the pressure of divine power is still there. Qiyue Xi is very likely to eradicate the root cause and avoid future troubles forever.
If it were Ye An himself, maybe he would do the same.
Then I saw Qi Yue Xi, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh softly. His beautiful laughter was heart-stopping.
"This question... is a good question."
Qi Yuexi said: "Ye An, it depends on your choice."
She called him by his familiar name, instead of using abstract words like 'ru' or 'ant'.
"My choice?" Ye An asked.
"good."
Qi Yuexi nodded slightly, she slowly stretched out her delicate little hand as soft as white jade, and stared at Ye An's face sincerely with her cold golden eyes.
Then she said in a longing tone: "Come here—"
"Join me."
These sudden words caught Ye An off guard.
Before he could react, he heard Qi Yuexi continue: "This is your only way to survive. Only in this way can you survive today."
"Even... you will have eternal life with me."
Ye An said angrily: "What stupid words did you say? What about Qi Xi?"
Qi Yuexi said calmly: "If you give me enough time, Xiao Chenxi may be able to continue to live. But even twenty years at most is still too short for us."
"But you can do it, gain eternal life and overthrow the possibility of heaven."
It would be ridiculous if he agreed to Qi Yuexi and agreed to join the Crescent Sect. Moreover, Qi Xi cannot change anything unless Qi Yue Xi is willing to return the divine inheritance to her.
Ye An stared into Qi Yuexi's eyes and said, "The Crescent Sect is not short of people."
Qi Yuexi responded: "Yes, yes... But the only thing missing is you."
"You are different. I see a lot of potential in you. Your loyalty and ability make you a more suitable confidant than any of the Sifang Hall Masters."
"Little Chenxi, I promise that I will never give you less. When I return to Zhongzhou, the Holy Son of the Temple will still be Ye An. You can still enter and exit the huge Temple treasure house freely, and there will be no shortage of spiritual stones, magic weapons, and elixirs. All you need is … Occasionally complete some tasks assigned by me.”
Her eyes were terrifyingly calm. As the person closest to Qi Xi, she naturally knew part of Ye An's past, the power of the stars in Ye An's body, and the formations carved around the Jianmu Sacred Tree...
In the past, Qi Xi had Yue'er and Ye An, the two most trusted people by his side.
But now Qi Yuexi has no one who is trustworthy around her, especially anyone who is trustworthy and capable. There is no doubt that Ye An is the most suitable.
I saw Ye An hesitate a little, slowly raised his head, and said in a deep voice: "Among the many gifts His Majesty Qi Xi gave me, there is only one that is the most important and inseparable from me. Qi Yuexi, I think you should I can’t afford it.”
Qi Yue Xi frowned slightly and said, "What is it? Just tell me."
Ye An said: "Your Majesty, I promise you with my body."
"…??"
