Chapter 716: Let's Break Up
"Na'er, you..."
Before Qin Jian could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Na'er: "Stop talking nonsense! I've already said it! No one can kill you in front of me!"
"I thought it would be a choice, or perhaps a threat," he gasped deeply: "I didn't expect it would be to bewitch Bing'er and Huo Wu into killing me..."
"If it's the same method that influenced Hu Liena, then Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu truly are impossible to guard against," Na'er said in a low voice.
"But when I saved them before, there wasn't a single sign of abnormality!" Qin Jian said irritably.
Even now, he still did not believe that Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu truly wanted to kill him.
"Poseixi, if you give him a sword from behind right now, you too can become a god."
At this moment, the Sea God's voice suddenly rang out in Poseixi's mind.
She remained calm: "So you mean that this so-called Ice God and Fire God accepted such Assessment conditions, and that is how they became gods?"
"Not bad," the Sea God said indifferently: "The opportunity is right before your eyes. At this moment, he has no defenses against you. As long as you make a move, your youth and beauty can be preserved, and you can live for a very, very long time, possessing supreme power and becoming a member of the God Realm."
Poseixi, however, still showed no change in expression, only asking: "Were those truly their own decisions, and not bewitched or controlled?"
The Sea God said coldly: "Human emotions are not worth mentioning in the face of interests. You believe in emotions only because the interests are not yet great enough."
"Now, the interest you are using to tempt me is already great enough..."
Poseixi's expression was faint: "Youth and beauty, endless lifespan, supreme power, transcending all things; and if I don't accept, I only have one year left. It seems like a very easy choice to make, doesn't it?"
"Isn't it?" the Sea God asked curiously.
"Do you know, Sea God?"
For the first time, Poseixi did not call him Lord Sea God.
"I believe this Ice God and Fire God are being controlled," she said: "Because you have miscalculated one thing."
"What thing?" the Sea God was clearly very surprised.
Poseixi said calmly: "That is, we are not ordinary people. You cannot impose your perception of ordinary people and the masses onto individuals like us!"
"Do you know a saying? If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die without regret in the evening!"
"In my past and present lives, I, Poseixi, have been trapped by love and died for love. This is my destiny, and I have no regrets!"
"Qin Jian's God Trial is related to me, isn't it? According to my deduction, what I must do is not kill him at all, but break up with him!"
Poseixi's words left the Sea God silent for a long time.
"Then I will let you see what a woman who dies for love, a woman who can forsake her youth and eternal life for her convictions, is truly like!"
At this moment, the shadow of the Ice Phoenix happened to strike.
"Watch out!"
Na'er and Qin Jian were both in a powerless state, when a beam of ice light suddenly bloomed from behind him.
And Poseixi had already turned to block in front of Qin Jian.
"Puff, puff, puff!"
The beam was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through Poseixi's skin.
But she paid it no mind.
"Quick, move away! You cannot block Divine Power!"
Qin Jian instinctively wanted to pull her behind him, but he discovered that Poseixi's back remained motionless, as if nailed to the spot.
She slowly turned her head.
Time seemed to quietly freeze at this moment.
Afterwards, it flowed away at high Speed.
"Sss..."
A pallor spread from the ends of Poseixi's water-blue long hair, gradually turning all her blue hair snow-white.
Qin Jian widened his eyes.
"Burning her life! She is burning her life!" Na'er said urgently.
"Sister!"
Qin Jian rushed forward.
"Bang!"
But he was pushed away by sea waves, which protected him in a circle.
The Ice God's attack also stalled in front, as if solidified by time.
"Qin Jian..."
Poseixi looked back and smiled, the skin on her hands slowly becoming covered in wrinkles.
"Thank you for liking me..."
The skin on her shoulders lost its luster.
"Thank you for giving me love..."
Her slender legs became aged.
"Thank you for calling me sister..."
Her cheeks wrinkled bit by bit.
"Thank you... for letting me die without regrets..."
The power exchanged by exhausting her life force finally completely shattered the fatal blow of the Ice and Snow Divine Power.
"Bang!"
The Ice Phoenix shadow retreated, and a woman's voice drifted over leisurely: "Interesting, yet another foolish woman who loves you so much she cannot extricate herself?"
"Qin Jian, I asked you a question once, do you still remember?"
At this moment, Poseixi had completely turned into a white-haired, elderly woman, in the twilight of her years.
She turned around slowly, her chapped lips trembling: "When I... when I am old..."
Turbid tears could not stop dripping from the corners of her eyes.
"When I am old... will you still... still love me..."
Qin Jian looked at her blankly.
Whoosh!
The next moment, waves surged, pulling up a curtain of water between her and Qin Jian.
"This aged appearance... is truly ugly..."
"I don't want to know the answer anymore..."
Poseixi suddenly flew off, heading into the distance.
"The last month... I want to see this world alone..."
"And also..."
"Let's break up..."
"Qin Jian."
One could vaguely see unstoppable tears scattering across the sky as Qin Jian flew in pursuit: "Big Sister! Wait!"
"Swish!"
But the Flame Figure and Ice and Snow blocked his front simultaneously, completely cutting off his path.
"Are you two acting?"
The Flame Figure crossed his arms, saying disdainfully: "Trying to use such a silly trick to escape? Are you joking?"
"Perhaps they think we will be moved!"
The Ice Phoenix smiled, yet it did not bring a shred of warmth.
"Plop."
Qin Jian suddenly fell onto the clouds, kneeling on one knee, gasping for breath.
He had now lost almost all his combat power.
"Big Sister... is truly a... fool..."
He closed his eyes and muttered, his heart aching with a tearing pain.
Regardless, without Poseixi burning her life just now, he would have already been pierced through by Shui Bing'er.
But such a price was too great...
"One month..."
He suddenly opened his eyes: "Na'er, are you ready?"
Dealing with two gods, in Na'er's state without the Fusion, he did not know how to cope, and could only choose to trust her.
"Almost, but..."
Na'er hesitated: "You seem to have forgotten one thing."
"What?"
Qin Jian's heart suddenly tightened, and a strong sense of foreboding surged into his mind.
"I don't know why Poseixi would specifically show you her ugliest side and insist on breaking up with you," Na'er said in a low voice: "But this is clearly to fulfill your path, yet you..."
"I failed to complete the God Trial!"
Qin Jian's whole body shook.
"Why? Why did I fail to complete the God Trial!"
He looked at his palms in disbelief, feeling his own power, only to find that the breakup with Poseixi had not brought about any change at all.
"According to the God Trial rules, when you are at level 99 and break up with the last person, you should reach level 100 and become a god, but now it hasn't been judged as a success at all!"
Na'er whispered: "Qin Jian, the greatest variable has appeared..."
Qin Jian's eyes instantly turned blood-red, as if they were about to burst.
Restlessness, chaotic emotions, and unbearable pressure instantly assaulted his entire body...
