Chapter 291

Also, why did Nuwa want him to take on the position of Great Emperor Gouchen?

What benefit would it have for her?

Immediately after, Lei Ze also reacted.

Great Emperor Gouchen was responsible for the military affairs of the Heavenly Court and was specifically targeted at demons and devils.

If he took on this position, he would inevitably have to bear Nuwa's karma.

By then, he would inevitably be tied hand and foot regarding the Demon Race.

If he did not attack the Demon Race, he would be unable to fulfill his duties; however, if he really targeted them, he would have the suspicion of being ungrateful.

Hehe, what a good calculation.

It was a pity that he had no desire to intervene in it at all.

"Apologies, Empress Nuwa, this poor Daoist is focused on the Great Dao, and I truly do not wish to be stained by the right and wrong in the Heavenly Court; I can only fail the Empress's good intentions."

"Lei Ze, do not refuse yet. Do you know why I did not choose others but chose only you?"

"Although there are not many top-tier mighty figures in the Primordial World, there are other candidates; but why you?"

"Because you are destined to have an affinity with Great Emperor Gouchen of the Heavenly Court!"

"If you refuse with all your might, then what awaits you will be the addition of calamity to your body."

Upon hearing this, Lei Ze's expression changed again and again.

His Primordial Spirit operated rapidly, thinking, what did Empress Nuwa mean by this?!

Could it be that he still had a crisis of falling?

Since he was destined to have an affinity with Great Emperor Gouchen, why would he need to bear Nuwa's karma?

No!

Calamity descending upon his body?!!

Could it be that the one destined to have an affinity with Great Emperor Gouchen was not this life of his, but the next life after he fell?!

Or the life after that?

In any case, no matter which life it was, it was definitely not him, the current Quasi-Saint mid-stage.

Just now, when Nuwa mentioned Great Emperor Gouchen, he had secretly calculated it and indeed felt a kind of karma that seemed connected yet disconnected, seemed broken yet unbroken, with the position of Gouchen.

It was very strange.

Now, upon deeper thought, the result made his heart tighten.

Could it be that he was truly going to fall?

And then reincarnate through trials, return after some life, and serve as the Great Emperor Gouchen of the Heavenly Court?

But if that were the case, accidents would inevitably occur.

What if after returning from the trials, his cultivation could not be restored to the Quasi-Saint level?

Especially if he was plotted against by some future opponents.

That would be even more miserable than falling completely.

"The Empress's meaning is to protect this poor Daoist so that I can smoothly take on the position of Gouchen without being plotted against by others, which would lead to a loss of cultivation?!"

"Lei Ze, you are indeed of extraordinary wisdom!"

"Correct, your fall is destined; when you return, neither your foundation nor your potential will be comparable to your current self."

"You should know what this means!"
