Chapter 640: Triangular Relationships Are the Most Stable!

"Brother Jian, he..."

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu leaned in together, curiously peering at this phantom.

A flash of inspiration struck Qin Jian: "Does this Ocean's Tear have something to do with the Vast Sea Universe Cover?"

"Related? One could say it is related," the phantom said with hands behind his back, his tone indifferent: "The Vast Sea Universe Cover is the medium by which I select my successor, while the Ocean's Tear... is a product of my Divine Punishment."

"Divine Punishment?"

Qin Jian, Ning Rongrong, and Ning Fengzhi looked at each other in dismay, simultaneously recalling the poignant love story behind the Ocean's Tear.

"This..."

Ning Fengzhi's head felt three times larger.

Who could have imagined that their own Ocean's Tear had such an origin connected to the Vast Sea Universe Cover...

"May I ask why you had to inflict Divine Punishment, Senior?"

Qin Jian's words gave Ning Fengzhi a fright: "Jian'er, do not be reckless."

This phantom was clearly a projection of Divine Sense; everything that happened would be transmitted to the heart of the God. Who wouldn't be trembling in fear?

"Why did you have to inflict Divine Punishment?"

Contrary to Ning Fengzhi's expectations, the phantom did not fly into a rage at Qin Jian's inquiry, but instead explained properly: "Because, among those two, one of them was my daughter."

"You... inflicted Divine Punishment to destroy your own daughter?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Between Godhood and love, she chose love, so she had to bear the price," the phantom said faintly.

Qin Jian frowned: "Why can't one have both?"

The phantom looked at him deeply: "The current rules of the God Position are as such; no one can change them, unless..."

He paused and said: "Endless, eternal life, or fleeting, momentary emotion. She simply paid the price due for her own choice."

"Why not grant her the beauty of that lifetime?" Qin Jian said in a low voice.

If he hadn't been unable to get close, Ning Fengzhi would have wanted to cover his mouth.

"Fleeting fireworks, what is there to be attached to?"

The phantom waved his hand casually: "I erased her memories and let her live another life, to see at the end of life whether she chooses youthful beauty or white-haired old age."

He seemed to feel no guilt, nor did he feel anything was wrong, about manipulating his daughter's life at will.

Is this the mindset of a high and mighty Godhood?

Qin Jian's gaze was calm: "Then what did she choose in her next life?"

"The time has not yet come. The person destined for her has not arrived, and she has yet to face the choice. However, as her time is running out, it is almost upon her..." The phantom seemed particularly patient with Qin Jian.

"She was granted rebirth, but what about that man? What happened to him?" Qin Jian asked again.

"The man?"

The phantom paused noticeably, then sneered: "Where would there be any man? It was nothing more than a false image constructed by my opponent. That mutual understanding and devotion were merely her own delusions. It is laughable that she even left behind the Ocean's Tear for his sake."

"Is it all fake?" Ning Rongrong suddenly murmured.

The phantom glanced at her, especially at the azure light on her forehead which was the same as Qin Jian's, and said indifferently: "That kind of emotion does not exist."

"No," Ning Rongrong suddenly raised her head, the conviction in her eyes unwavering: "It must exist. Brother Jian and I are the proof."

"You and him?"

The phantom scoffed and pointed at Xiao Wu: "If there is such sincere emotion between you, then what is she?"

Through the connection of the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, he easily judged the relationship between Qin Jian, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu.

"But we have gained the recognition of the Ocean's Tear," Ning Rongrong clenched her fists: "Which means we have gained the recognition of your daughter."

The phantom was slightly taken aback, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "That is interesting..."

"Very well. One test is a test, and another is also a test. Before her memories were erased, she kept saying I was wrong, saying that human emotion cannot be defiled. Then you shall prove it to me together..."

He suddenly reached out, and the Vast Sea Universe Cover floated in his palm.

"Hum, hum, hum."

Each corner of the triangular object shot out a beam of blue light, reflecting onto the foreheads of Qin Jian, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu.

The three of them shuddered simultaneously.

The scenery before them changed, and their Spirits and consciousness were immersed in a wondrous world.

It was an endless expanse of blue sea and sky, with the surging, magnificent ocean beneath their feet and a cloudless blue sky overhead.

That feeling of total clarity of body and mind made an endless longing arise involuntarily in their hearts—a longing for that ethereal power.

"Hum, hum..."

Circles of blue ripples rotated around Qin Jian and the others, continuously pouring into their bodies.

The phantom, however, only looked at Qin Jian, a trace of mockery flashing across the corner of his mouth: "Three people, sincere emotion?"

Bang!

The next moment, his phantom dissipated, turning into specks of light that vanished.

Only then did Ning Fengzhi feel the pressure on his body lighten, and he hurried forward to check on the condition of Qin Jian and the others.

"Could this be the Vast Sea Universe Cover choosing its master? All three together?"

He was somewhat puzzled, but he did not intervene, waiting quietly instead.

Who would have thought that this wait would last for half a day.

"Hum!"

The azure light suddenly retracted, and Qin Jian and the others opened their eyes at the same time.

Qin Jian reached out his hand, and the Vast Sea Universe Cover slowly landed in his palm.

"You are finally awake," Ning Fengzhi rose from his seated position and let out a long sigh of relief: "How is it? Did you gain the recognition of the Vast Sea Universe Cover?"

Qin Jian and the other two looked at each other.

"It seems we all received recognition as masters at the same time," Qin Jian said strangely, "What exactly does he want to do?"

Ning Rongrong nodded: "This Vast Sea Universe Cover is truly a treasure; every skill is very practical."

"Vast Sea Protection Shield, Vast Sea Stabilization Shield, Vast Sea Raging Waves, Vast Sea Demon Breaker..."

Xiao Wu counted on her fingers: "Did you also receive the methods to cast these skills?"

Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance and both nodded.

"Then let Rongrong keep this Vast Sea Universe Cover," Qin Jian handed the triangular object into Ning Rongrong's hands: "You are a Support-type Soul Master, it will be of the most help to you."

"Alright," Ning Rongrong didn't act coy and put it away directly, while saying to Xiao Wu: "Anyway, we are all together, if it's needed we will all use it, with priority given to Brother Jian, his soul power is higher than both of ours."

Xiao Wu nodded gently.

"Besides this, there seems to be a Trident phantom on your foreheads," Ning Fengzhi suddenly said: "But it disappeared right after you woke up just now."

"A Trident..."

Qin Jian touched his forehead: "The trial he spoke of, what exactly is it..."

"It sounds like a trial of feelings," Xiao Wu habitually hugged Qin Jian's arm, stuck out her little tongue and said: "Rongrong and I will definitely be fine, it just depends on Brother!"

Ning Rongrong glanced sideways at Qin Jian: "That's right, that Divine Sense clearly didn't believe that such sincere feelings could exist between three people, so it all depends on Brother Jian."

"Depends on me?"

Qin Jian couldn't laugh or cry: "It wouldn't be that boring, would it? Just to verify feelings, he had to drag all three of us into it?"

"It's very necessary, after all, he doesn't believe in his daughter's feelings at all," Ning Rongrong said.

Qin Jian pondered for a moment: "Doesn't he understand that a triangular relationship is the most stable?"

Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu: "???"

Ning Fengzhi: "..."
