Chapter 826
Little Jian's Dilemma
"Are you really going to find that Path of Ghosts? Aren't you afraid your soul will be seized?"
"Rest assured, although I haven't been seized before... but my soul, he shouldn't be able to seize it away."
Seize it away my ass?!!
Jian Changsheng looked at the gray-jacketed "Chen Ling" disappearing into the horizon, feeling like his entire person was about to split open.
Rest Assured Brother is truly worthy of being Rest Assured Brother. Before leaving, he had an imposing manner of "if he dares to seize me he will undoubtedly die". In the end, in the blink of an eye, he was led by the nose and taken for a walk on the streets... The key point was that Kongwang still looked like he had nothing wrong, appearing as if he hadn't suffered any injuries.
"Serves you right!!" Jian Changsheng lowered his head to pick up his sword while muttering softly,
"Insisting on seeking death yourself, now you've screwed up playing... To think that you, Six of Hearts, would also have a day where you're led by the nose, hmph."
Jian Changsheng's tone was full of disdain towards Chen Ling, but not a trace of joy could be seen from his expression. Instead, from time to time, he subconsciously looked in the direction Kongwang left just now, and then forced himself to move his gaze back.
He seemed to be struggling, seemed to be in a dilemma. That palm holding the sword gradually clenched tight. At the same time, a smear of resplendent brilliance emitted from his other palm.
Jian Changsheng looked down, only to see that the [Privilege] had already been activated, in a state where it could be used at any time.
At the same time,
Under the pitch-black night sky, six streaks of starlight descended from the sky like divine pillars, scattering respectively at six locations in the Old District. Among them, there was also a streak of starlight extremely close to Jian Changsheng, right on the street next to him...
At this distance, Jian Changsheng could even clearly see that along with the descent of the starlight divine pillar, there was a throne standing atop the ruins!
That was a black throne five or six meters high, like a magnificent existence reproduced from ancient mythology. The towering back of the chair symbolized authority and power. Starlight surrounded it like divine radiance. Somewhere in the unseen world, it seemed some kind of destiny hung in the air, possessing an inexplicable attraction to humanity.
The struggle was about to end, the Heaven-Reaching Star Position had already descended!
"The Heaven-Reaching Star Position has appeared!!"
"So close! It seems our luck isn't bad!"
"More people will probably be attracted over immediately! Attack quickly!!"
"..."
The appearance of the Heaven-Reaching Star Position made the participants originally lying dormant in various corners of the Old District excited at the same time. They began to frantically rush towards the nearest Heaven-Reaching Star Position, and this Heaven-Reaching Star Position where Jian Changsheng was currently located was exactly the center of the Old District, and the number of participants hiding around it was also the highest.
Figure after figure flew past Jian Changsheng's eyes, charging towards that Heaven-Reaching Star Position Like a Moth to a Flame. A melee had already begun!
Although Kongwang's voice just now made quite a few participants suspicious, after all, most people didn't know who Kongwang was. Moreover, a large portion of people felt the same as Jian Changsheng, that this was their best opportunity to snatch the Heaven-Reaching Star Position and Defy Fate!
Not everyone had seen Kongwang, but everyone could see that throne descending from the sky!
That was the future they dreamed of;
Jian Changsheng's pupils reflected that magnificent and mysterious Heaven-Reaching Star Position leading to the horizon, his heart full of yearning...
"What crappy Six of Hearts... I'm not going to care about you." Jian Changsheng muttered to himself. "I told you long ago, I wish you would die... So what if your soul is seized? Who asked you to insist on showing off..."
"Defying Fate is right before my eyes, why should I go provoke that whatever Path of Ghosts... I'm just leaving you in the lurch, I'm just abandoning you, so what?"
"I also have no obligation to save you, right?!"
Jian Changsheng's voice grew firmer the more he spoke, as if cheering himself up. After finishing speaking, he took a deep breath and was about to directly crush the [Privilege] in his hand...
But when he saw that precious pearl with flowing faint light, the breath he just took still stagnated.
In his mind, the appearance of Chen Ling casually tossing this thing to him uncontrollably surged up, as well as that sentence lingering by his ear:
"I wish you success."
Jian Changsheng silently clenched the hilt of his sword tight.
The light of the [Privilege] continuously flickered. After the final stage began, one must actively choose the descent location of the seventh star position and crush it within fifteen minutes. Otherwise, the seventh star position would still descend randomly... The time left for Jian Changsheng was not much.
"Fuck!!"
Jian Changsheng cursed angrily, clenching the [Privilege] tightly in his palm, and then carrying his sword, directly charged towards that nearest Heaven-Reaching Star Position!
...
Pale chains were like a spider web, silently swaying under the night sky. Dozens of muddleheaded souls hovered like floating clouds, slowly coming to a stop near the top of a Clock Tower.
Kongwang's eyelids were lowered, floating to the Clock Tower as if weightless.
A man with greying temples was sitting cross-legged on the Clock Tower. Seeing that phantom-like figure slowly walking over, his eyes narrowed slightly:
"Controlling ghosts and demanding souls... Truly the Path of Ghosts. I didn't expect to still be able to see the legendary existence with my own eyes in my lifetime."
"You are the Pathway Chief of the Path of the Physician in this era?" Kongwang calmly watched that person, seemingly somewhat disappointed. "A Divine Pathway Chief actually hasn't even Advanced to Demigod yet, differing too far from those from a thousand years ago... It truly is a declined era."
Mr. Han was slightly startled, asking back somewhat surprised:
"What were the Pathway Chiefs of the Path of the Physician like a thousand years ago?"
"In ancient times, the Path of the Physician flourished to the extreme. Every era's Pathway Chief of the Path of the Physician was a Demigod... Among them, a few could even enter the undead world alone to snatch people back, struggle against the mandate of heaven, let Remnant Souls return to life, and achieve Resurrection."
When Kongwang mentioned those few people, although his expression was somewhat displeased, a trace of admiration could occasionally be caught in his eyes.
Hearing this, Mr. Han smiled somewhat bitterly:
"I see. It's a pity that since the Great Cataclysm... No, counting from two hundred years before the Great Cataclysm, the Path of the Physician has never produced a Demigod again."
"That is why I said, yours is a declined era." Kongwang coldly snorted.
"Although this humble one is not a Demigod, to kill you... it seems still more than enough." Mr. Han changed the subject, and a Rank 8 Aura emitted from his body, directly overwhelming Kongwang's current Aura. A hurricane whistled past the latter's side!
Mr. Han put away the peaceful expression from just now, replaced by gloominess and Killing Intent!
"No matter which era you are from, no matter which lost Divine Pathway you are... Wanting to stir up trouble here, you've chosen the wrong place."
Facing Mr. Han's Oppressive Aura, Kongwang was completely unafraid. Those lowered eyes slowly opened, and the chains on the numerous souls behind him clashed in the hurricane, clanking loudly.
"Of course you can kill me." Kongwang said indifferently,
"The [Kingdom of the Dying] is not some rare Domain of the Path of the Physician. As far as I know, although it possesses the characteristic of 'mass immortality', it doesn't possess any lethality... Moreover, once opened, it cannot be moved."
