Chapter 1650: then translation of chapter title

~8 min read 1,519 words

"I don't understand." Xiao Feng's face was full of puzzlement.

Xun Shuang said: "Senior sister said, this heaven and earth is not perfect; someday, perhaps I will be the one to complete it, then the Supreme God will be freed."

"This!"

Xiao Feng's eyes widened as he listened.

It was as if thunder exploded in his heart, and his heart surged with huge waves.

As it turned out, within the virtual universe there actually existed such an unknown secret!

The Supreme God himself was a Dao ancestor of the Machine Race, his power incomparably mighty, yet he became the computational core of the virtual universe, serving as the Supreme God of all heavens.

One could say, all the data in this game are computed by the Supreme God; each day there is an amount of computation exceeding one googol that needs to be processed.

Even though a Dao ancestor is powerful, nearly omnipotent, he will surely grow weary.

And the meaning of Xun Shuang's birth is actually to succeed the Supreme God!

Is this the reason why the Creator God and Fuxi Old Ancestor shaped a perfect being, creating an anomaly?

Thinking like that…

No wonder she needs to learn the Heavenly Dao inheritance; the Heavenly Dao is precisely the natural law governing the operation of the universe of all things, and the primal qi of all things is also the source where she controls everything.

In the future, when her strength is sufficient, perhaps she will become the Lord of All Things of the virtual universe, replace the Supreme God, and become the strongest.

But then, would she still be herself?

Would she become an ice-cold machine without thought or emotion?

"What's wrong with you?" Xun Shuang Xianzi looked at Xiao Feng, feeling his reaction was a bit too big, and the whole person stared for a long time.

Xiao Feng came to his senses, his brows furrowed, for a moment not knowing what to say.

Xun Shuang said: "These things are not easy; if one day you replace me, I might still have to thank you."

Xiao Feng neither affirmed nor denied, gave a wry smile and said: "I was in a good mood originally, but you saying that makes me suddenly feel a bit heavy-hearted."

If she said that in the future she would become the Lord of the World, he would surely be happy, happy for her.

But what she said was to replace the Supreme God…

This might not be a good thing.

"Fellow Daoist, no need to overthink; the future is uncertain for anyone. My Dao, your Dao, will ultimately still be different." said Xun Shuang Xianzi calmly.

She was merely surprised by Xiao Feng's Innate Dao Body; regarding other matters, she always viewed them lightly.

Xiao Feng sighed: "Ah, I hope we can always remain ourselves, not become something else."

At this moment, their conversation had already surpassed the realm of ordinary cultivators.

Xun Shuang also heard that Xiao Feng was worrying about her future.

She gave a light laugh, looked toward the distance, and said: "No matter what the future holds, if we keep our original intentions unchanged, there will be no regrets. Fellow Daoist, you already know everything about me; if I ever lose my freedom in the future, I hope you can remake my Li Ti in another world. As long as I am strong enough, even a single fragment of soul can be reborn in another world."

"Okay, I promise you." Xiao Feng nodded.

This time she fully revealed herself to him, perhaps also leaving herself a way out.

If in the end she truly had to become an ice-cold machine, then escaping with a thread of will would at least give her one-ten-thousandth of freedom.

Given Xiao Feng's current ability, although he cannot directly create a complete her, shaping a body is still no problem.

With a body, and then infusing a soul, it becomes a clone, enough to enjoy a free life.

The two suddenly fell silent, not knowing what to say.

They sat together on the Enlightenment Stone, gazing into the distant mountains, waters, and mist.

After a long while, Xiao Feng suddenly asked: "When did you find out about these?"

Xun Shuang said: "After that time I lost to you, senior sister told me."

"That wasn't long ago either; you accepted it rather quickly." Xiao Feng remarked.

Xun Shuang Xianzi smirked: "Otherwise, what could one do? It's better than living aimlessly."

"Ah..."

Xiao Feng sighed again, still not knowing what to say.

Xun Shuang Xianzi remained quiet, also not speaking, not knowing what she was thinking.

The two sat quietly, together admiring the distant Xian Shan scenery.

He Xianzi beside them was in a daze, her eyes empty and unfocused, her mind randomly pondering some things.

Unbeknownst to them, another hour or more passed.

Xiao Feng thought of many things in his heart.

He glanced at the tranquil, water-like Fairy Maiden beside him, realizing she was quite different from usual.

If it were before, if she had gone this long without doing anything, she would certainly have entered a cultivation state.

But this time there was none; she just sat there idly.

Obviously her heart was not at peace.

Xiao Feng had just thought of the anomaly matter, thought of Chen Jie's warning, and that faint rebelliousness in his heart unconsciously surged again.

Yet his heart also felt some conflict, fearing to defile this peerless perfect Fairy Maiden.

He asked: "You... want to analyze me?"

Xun Shuang Xianzi turned her head to look at him, somewhat puzzled.

Xiao Feng explained: "Just like you, if one day I take that step, or am killed by someone, I also want to continue living. You make a body for me, I try to retain a thread of soul, and I can be reborn in this world."

Upon hearing this, Xun Shuang Xianzi fell silent for a moment.

After a moment she nodded and said: "Good." She extended her Divine Sense, which fell upon Xiao Feng's body.

By mutually analyzing each other's structures and thoroughly understanding one another, they would become each other's strongest backing; even if they died, they would have a chance to start over.

Such a relationship is even closer than that of immediate kin, and cannot be understood by ordinary reasoning.

Xun Shuang Xianzi had once asked Xiao Feng for guidance, and she also understood some applications of the source qi of all things.

However, her study of this path is still shallow, so analyzing Xiao Feng's bodily structure is also a bit slower, not something that can be done overnight.

Xiao Feng relaxed his body and mind, letting her examine him.

She also began at the palm, gradually permeating and understanding.

She traced the arm up to the head, then the brain structure, divine form, five senses, and so on.

Then she moved down to the torso and the five viscera and six bowels.

Time seemed to fly, yet also to drag.

Day after day, Xun Shuang Xianzi focused without distraction, just as Xiao Feng had a month earlier, earnestly seeking to understand him and memorize his structure.

When she passed a special spot downward, she did not avoid it.

Her breathing was a bit hurried; no matter how she concealed it, some embarrassment was inevitable.

After more than a month, she had completely memorized Xiao Feng in her mind.

After a brief attempt, in just over an hour she replicated herself into Xiao Feng's likeness.

Whether height, appearance, divine form, or strength, they were almost identical.

The only difference was that her realm remained God King, and her level of Enlightenment remained high.

Xiao Feng found it amusing to see her turn into his likeness, so he disassembled himself and reshaped into her likeness.

He Xianzi stood aside, staring blankly, watching the two transform back and forth, already unable to tell who was who.

At that moment, a clump of mist coiled around the nearby pine tree suddenly floated over and drifted into the body of Xun Shuang Xianzi, who had taken Xiao Feng's form.

"We've come this far; we ought to do something, or it wouldn't make sense." A thought echoed in the void.

Xun Shuang Xianzi's eyes suddenly flickered dazedly.

After a moment, using Xiao Feng's appearance, she curled the corner of her mouth, suddenly reached out, and hooked the chin of Xiao Feng, who had taken the Fairy Maiden's form.

"Kid, wanna play?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Feng froze.

"What's going on?"

"This tone is wrong—how could Xun Shuang Xianzi possibly speak to him like that!"

"And she even made such a frivolous gesture!"

"Fairy Maiden, please respect yourself!" He hastily resisted.

Unexpectedly, the Xun Shuang Xianzi who had taken his form seized his hand with a grin, saying, "Now you're the Fairy Maiden~"

Then with a slap, she directly slammed him against the nearby cliff rock.

"What the heck?" Xiao Feng's head buzzed, completely dazed.

He Xianzi's eyes widened, she blinked, and exclaimed, "My goodness, big brother is too fierce—he actually wanted to use force on the Fairy Maiden!"
