The Ancient Realm Goddess
Anxiety and Uncertainty
“Error due to ignorance is not an inexcusable thing.” Mo Jingtian raised his hand slowly. “Build.”
Yuwen Ming simply flintered. He did not wake up and was still kneeling on the ground. His head lowered without daring to look ahead. An ordinary human like him could not resist the influence of Mo Jingtian's divine aura.
Not only Yuwen Ming, even Qing Yue’er felt the same way. His legs are starting to get weak. He stepped back then fell to his knees with a complicated feeling. This time his gap with Mo Jingtian had completely become clear.
He looked at the man in confusion. So this was the real Mo Jingtian? Is this what he was like when he became the true God and Son of Heaven?
Mo Jingtian sighed. He looked at Qing Yue’er at a glance but did not say anything. Instead he spoke to Yuwen Ming.
“No one in Tongxuan Continent is more worthy than you and Yuwen Di to help solve this mess. People from the upper world also have their own problems.”
“Could ... God know where Yuwen Di?” Yuwen Ming asked hesitantly.
“She has long been secluded in the Southeast Sea. With his cultivation level, he is definitely still alive.”
Yuwen Ming was surprised to hear that. The Southeast Sea was in the southeast of Tongxuan Continent. It was indeed a place rarely visited by humans due to its high and large waves. The rocks are also steep and difficult to pass.
He had not expected Yuwen Di to choose to seclude himself in such a place. Finally he nodded with certainty. “I'll go look for it soon after this.”
“When the Upper Realm is in chaos, the Lower Realm is also in chaos. Yuwen Ming, unite forces and destroy the devil. If you succeed, the war will not reach Tongxuan.”
Yuwen Ming trembled hearing that. Fear entered his heart. “So the situation is that bad.”
“Go. When the entire demon hole is closed, Tongxuan's fate falls on your hands. Me and Qing Yue’er will only help get there,” Mo Jingtian said in a calm and gentle voice. Like the wind that blows through the earlobe.
“Good. I will do my job as best I can,” replied Yuwen Ming with his head facing down.
Mo Jingtian extended her hand. A few strands of white hair suddenly appeared there. Then he gave the white hair to Yuwen Ming. “It will help you when the time comes.”
Yuwen Ming accepted it confidently. “Thank you.” He kowtowed his respects before finally stepping back.
Then he looked at Qing Yue’er with a complicated feeling. In his heart he had many questions that did not know what the answer was. However, he did not ask. His figure just floated away.
Qing Yue’er was left in confusion. He's down. Suddenly his body was pulled up by an invisible force.
“As a couple Son of Heaven, never let your knees fall to the ground,” Mo Jingtian said gently.
“I ...”
“Qing Yue’er, you made a mistake when I faced the Heavenly Court Lord.”
Qing Yue’er looked at Mo Jingtian in confusion. What mistake did he make?
“However, you also made an invaluable sacrifice for me,” the man continued.
“I did not make any sacrifices,” Qing Yue’er said with a frown.
“You did it and I thank you for it. In return, I will give you the knowledge that will determine your life and the fate of the world.”
Qing Yue’er still did not understand. Was that man really Mo Jingtian? Why did he become so different? Mo Jingtian couldn't possibly say such thanks. That's not his nature.
He immediately asked, “What knowledge is it?”
“Child of Heaven is required to be able to determine good and bad luck. What is love, what is destiny and what is responsibility, he must know it clearly. The heart cannot be a shackle, and love cannot be compared to the safety of the world.”
“I don't understand.”
Mo Jingtian stepped closer. “Love is the last test for the son of heaven. When the heart is ready to lose, then he will no longer be affected by any emotion.”
Qing Yue’er finally remembered one thing. He smiled thinly. Both of his eyes were slightly watering. “I know the sky wants my life. Maybe that's what you mean. You must give up my death. If that's all I can do, and that's my destiny, I'm willing.
“However, I want to make sure of one thing. Let no one of my loved ones die. Let me and just me.”
Qing Yue’er bit her lips. “So you've changed your mind? Then how can I help you? You always kept that a secret. And you'll just let the sky ...”
Suddenly Qing Yue’er realized one thing. Both eyes widened. He stepped back while rubbing his slightly wet eyes.
Mo Jingtian once said that he would not let her know. That the man would only let the heavens tell him. Then .. could it be that the one currently talking to her was not really Mo Jingtian?
At that moment suddenly the man frowned. He growled and shouted, “SIALAN! Now you've even dared to take the opportunity to influence my mind! Do you think you can do that to tell him?!”
His entire aura of grandeur disappeared in an instant. There is no aura of divinity anymore. He became like the usual Mo Jingtian.
Qing Yue’er was surprised to see that. The change was too drastic. From someone holy and calm, Mo Jingtian became someone who could shout and curse. That's too surprising.
“Jingtian ..”
“Yue’er, don't listen to that nonsense. I just wanted to use a little aura of divinity on Yuwen Ming so that he could be convinced, but I didn't expect this to turn out to be such a bad thing,” Mo Jingtian said. His voice sounded a little anxious.
“I haven't got the answer yet, but you're back in your consciousness. Very unfortunate.”
Qing Yue’er turned her back to Mo Jingtian. His heart became uncertain. He doesn't know how to react.
He would be happy if he could figure out how to help Mo Jingtian. But that means he will die. He had to give up his life and had to give up his separation with the man.
If he was angry, should he be angry at the sky? If she was sad, should she be sad for having been born and meeting Mo Jingtian? How come?
Even the one second passed with Mo Jingtian was precious. How could he possibly blame the tadir who had brought them together?
Thinking about all that only made his heart ache. He must kill his greed. She could get Mo Jingtian's love, that should have been enough.
At that moment, suddenly a pair of hands hugged him from behind. “Don't think about that again. Really ... there must be another way.”
“Jingtian, but what we are dealing with is neither human nor god. Do you still not understand? However you avoid, it won't work. Haven't you heard what came out of your mouth? Love is your last test.”
Mo Jingtian further tightened her embrace. “How can I let you die? Yue’er, we are already destined to be a couple. Why do you have to die? If you die, I don't know what I'm living for.”
It made Qing Yue’er even more sick. He closed his eyes sadly. “That's the thing you have to change,” murmured softly.
“What do you mean?”
Qing Yue’er released Mo Jingtian's embrace. He turned to look at the man and tried to strengthen his heart. “You must change your life purpose. Don't live for me, live for the safety of the world.”
Mo Jingtian shook her head. Both of his hands were cupped on the girl's cheeks. “You think ... how could I possibly do that? I'm greedy and want both.”
Qing Yue’er felt a little frustrated. “You said it yourself, for humans life is very short. And we have incarnation cycle.”
“Even if you reincarnate in just a year after death, I still won't give it up.” Mo Jingtian looked quite scared. The man held his hand tightly.
“Yue'er, it's not about how you're going to live again, but how I should. With my own hands. In that way. How is it possible ...”
“Jingtian—”
“Yue’er, don't coax me anymore.” Those golden eyes looked sad. “Please ...”
Qing Yue’er could not hold back her tears anymore. He doesn't know what to do. Even Mo Jingtian begged him. But he couldn't let the man fall for her. He does not want to enjoy his love in a time when the world is in danger of destruction.
“I have to how, Mo Jingtian? You make me not understand,” he said with a tongue.
“You just have to be by my side. We will definitely overcome this,” Mo Jingtian said. Even his words now sound uncertain.
Qing Yue’er could only hug the man tightly. There's nothing he can do. Forcing Mo Jingtian would not work either. He would only wait for how the heavens would act for him.
Beautiful destiny was already written for him and for Mo Jingtian. Who can guess the plan of the sky? Maybe a miracle will come.
