Chapter 1481: Let’s Do This Together!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The flow of destiny was chaotic, even those within the Fallen Immortal Clan sensed it.
They were skilled at divination.
But this time, for some unknown reason, the heavenly secrets were in disarray.
It was utter chaos.
It seemed that whether many events would occur hinged on a single thought.
“Send someone out to investigate.”
...
A voice came from deep within the immortal flower.
The Fallen Immortal Clan, which had intended to remain dormant, began to investigate.
Elder Gu was astonished. Why had something like this suddenly happened?
But he soon heard that the Clear Sky School had made a move.
“Could it be that our Fallen Immortal Clan is still not as good as theirs?”
Upon reflection, it made sense. After all, the sages in the immortal flower had not yet emerged.
The human race was at its peak.
But with the chaos erupting, they could not just sit still.
If they could use this to weaken the human race, it would be a great victory.
But if it led to the destruction of the Human race, that would be catastrophic.
The Immortal Clan was not as powerful as the human race. So, whatever destroyed them would come after the immortals next.
They needed time to gain their full power.
So, they had to first figure out what was happening.
They had to be ready to respond to any situation at any time.
No one wanted the world to fall into disaster, though some wished for it.
Overseas, the man who called himself The End of All Things raised his head to gaze into the heavens.
“A sudden premonition… This feeling…”
“Hahaha… The actual end of all things might not be our doing, but the one who is bringing it about must be a true genius! Perhaps we can finally witness this beauty when everything ends!”
The End of All Things’ laughter echoed in all directions, but only his attendant could hear it.
The attendant was puzzled. “Is something about to happen?”
“Yes, I feel that the actual end of all things is near. It’s just a possibility, but that’s enough. The Great Era has just begun, and there will be many opportunities in the future,” said The End of All Things.
“What will happen?”
“I don’t know. We can only wait.”
Others were waiting, but Jiang Hao could no longer wait.
Ao Shi had passed by him and was heading toward Xiao Li.
All he had ever wanted was to survive, but since he had gotten that chance, he found no joy or relief in it.
If he survived this encounter, he might actually surpass everyone in the future.
But today, he felt awful.
If he could not take this step, would his future self be the same?
Since he took out what was in his hand, he could only choose to stand his ground.
He was threatening others, but others were also threatening him.
It was a choice where everyone would die together.
“Senior…” Jiang Hao suddenly said.
Ao Shi stood still but did not respond.
“If I head to the Dragon Clan in the future and crush this pearl, would it matter then?” Jiang Hao asked.
“The Dragon Clan will not be destroyed. The Earth Extreme Silent Pearl can’t annihilate us all, but it can kill more than half of us. Of course, our ancestral land is not here, and you’ll never find it,” Ao Shi said calmly.
Jiang Hao knew about the Ancient Lands, but he could not go there.
Even if the world were destroyed, that place seemed untouchable.
So unless he was strong enough, the thing in his hand could not wipe out the Dragon Clan because he could only use it once.
Jiang Hao weakly lowered the pearl in his hand.
The light in his eyes dimmed.
Ao Shi heaved a sigh of relief and was about to leave.
However, before he could walk, Jiang Hao spoke again.
“I was sold as a child. Since the age of five, I’ve lived very cautiously. I dared not do anything big or get close to too many people because I didn’t want to be controlled by my emotions…” Jiang Hao said bitterly. “But today, knowing I had a slim chance of survival, I didn’t hesitate, as if I had suddenly abandoned my rationality. I even took out this terrifying artifact that I hid from the entire world. My goal is simple. I just want to save her.”
Ao Shi frowned.
Jiang Hao continued, “I don’t understand why. She often brings me pastries laced with poison. When the fruits in my courtyard ripen, she steals them. Many times, she annoys me by chattering in my ear and frequently causes mischief along with my pet. She runs to me when she wakes up from her nightmare to ask if I’ll leave her. She’s so annoying and rude… I should’ve let her go long ago.”
Jiang Hao looked up at the sky which was about to darken. The setting sun cast its light on his face. “I’ve always told myself I could let go, but I’m still reluctant. Since I was five, I’ve lived in deep sorrow.”
At this moment, Jiang Hao turned to look at Ao Shi, who was behind him. He placed his hand on his chest and said calmly, “I want to let go, but I just can’t. Whether it’s my parents that I can no longer meet or Xiao Li… I just can’t let them go. I’ve always sought the Dao, but I can’t free myself. In the end, I’m just a mere mortal.”
With that, Jiang Hao took a step forward and gently squeezed the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.
There was a cracking sound.
The seal shattered.
“Senior, maybe you’re right, but right now, I’ll choose this even if it’s the wrong thing to do…”
“Let’s…” Jiang Hao was covered in blood, but he took a heavy step forward and rushed toward Ao Shi with the pearl held in front. His voice resounded like rolling thunder. “Let’s do this together!”
“What?!” Seeing Jiang Hao rushing over, Ao Shi’s face twisted in horror. “How dare you?!”
The aura of the Great Dao burst forth and suppressed the seal. It wanted to control the seal.
Jiang Hao saw Ao Shi’s terror and watched as a green pearl appeared between them.
Then, the pearl began to expand. When the light fell on his hand, the flesh withered and dissolved. His vitality was dissipating.
It was the same for Ao Shi.
He turned to flee, but it was useless.
There was no escape.
Jiang Hao had already set up the Yin-Yang Bracelet in such a way that he could enter but not leave.
In addition, with the eruption of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, the power blocking Hong Yuye would have to escape.
Therefore, when he had pressed his hand to his chest, he had done it to send a message to her.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
He begged her to find Xiao Li and the others and escape.
The rest would be handled by the immortal sects.
He had chosen the easiest fragment to suppress. As for the rest, it was up to fate.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Hao closed his eyes.
Everything that followed had nothing to do with him.
It all ended here.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a green light flashed.
Jiang Hao and Ao Shi’s flesh and blood were disintegrating, and their bodies began withering.
Ao Shi could not even scream.
With his strength, he had a chance to cast a spell to slow it down, but this was the core, and his power was not enough.
Boom!
Xiao Li, who had been struggling to break free, suddenly heard an explosion behind her. She was free, but when she looked back, she was in a daze.
Then, tears streamed down her face.
She did not know what was happening, but she could not help but run toward the green sun.
But the more she ran, the faster the tears fell.
A True Dragon was circling in the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl as if it was about to shine its last light because of its master’s tears.
Before she could take a few more steps, a red and white figure appeared beside her.
Then, Xiao Li lost consciousness and flew backward at a speed that even Jiang Hao could not understand.
However, at the last moment, Xiao Li saw a familiar figure rush into the green sun.
“Sister-in-law…”
