Chapter 1278: Chapter 953: Attack on the Hall of Spirit Heroes (Pleading for Monthly Votes)

"Ada, I’m going to find Lei Leian and bring her back," Su Yu said. "These past twenty years, I’ve gained a lot, but I’ve also missed even more. Ada, my heart is very lonely."

Su Yu reached out a hand, slowly clenched it into a fist, and murmured, "My realm is getting higher, and the power I possess is growing stronger, but the loneliness in my heart is also deepening. Ada, great power doesn’t necessarily bring happiness or bliss."

Ada listened silently for a moment. She knew that Su Yu and Ning Yan’s reunion had stirred many emotions in his heart; all those years, Su Yu had dedicated solely to his cultivation, ignorant of all else, his strength advancing by leaps and bounds, but he had grown increasingly lonely. Only now, feeling this, was he voicing these thoughts.

"The path to divinity is inherently lonely," Ada said. "Gods are perfect. Perfection to the extent that they need no companions. Thus, gods are also solitary. Endless years, eternal life, omnipotent power—all come hand in hand with an incessant loneliness."

Su Yu looked at Ada and said softly, "Ada, what about you? If I truly become a god someday, will you still be by my side? Will you leave me too?"

Ada paused slightly before responding, "When you become a true god, our soul-bound relationship will automatically dissolve. Gods are perfect, with perfect bodies and souls, no longer needing my companionship." She said this with a light smile and hopped into Su Yu’s arms.

Su Yu cradled her in his arms and said softly, "After becoming a god, will we have no relationship, will you also leave? If that’s the case, I don’t want to become any kind of god..."

Ada rolled her eyes at him and said, "Fool, we made a pact long ago that we would be perfect together. Even if we’re no longer soul-bound, we will still be best friends, and neither of us will leave the other."

"Okay," Su Yu held Ada, but his heart still felt emptily vast, faintly feeling as if the day she spoke of truly came, Ada would go her own way, and he would never see her again.

"Su Yu, don’t overthink it," Ada said, her big, bright eyes shimmering with questions. "How are you doing now? When you manipulated the sun to smash open the Child of Destiny, did you already grasp what the Golden Emperor passed on to you?"

Su Yu nodded, "I have some understanding, so I want to go to the Hall of Spirit Heroes to find Lei Leian and also help Qin Jiagui find Yuan Niping. This couple has faced many tribulations; I truly hope they can be together and be happy."

Su Yu had journeyed with Qin Jiagui and Yuan Niping, so he acutely knew of the many tragedies that had befallen them. He sincerely hoped Qin Jiagui and Yuan Niping could find happiness.

Ada thought for a moment before saying, "Su Yu, there’s something I’m not sure whether to say."

Su Yu looked at her expectantly.

Ada said, "Yuan Niping has become a Valiant Death Knight. From what I know about them, I’m afraid... Qin Jiagui and Yuan Niping may..."

"What might happen?" Su Yu asked sharply.

"Once someone becomes a Valiant Death Knight, they lose their sense of self. Yuan Niping... may be beyond saving now."

Ada’s words shocked Su Yu, who recoiled and exclaimed, "Ada, what are you saying? Are you saying Yuan Niping... might die?" He couldn’t believe it. After countless joys and sorrows, this couple’s ultimate fate was to end like this? If Yuan Niping truly couldn’t be saved, what would become of Qin Jiagui? How could he accept this reality?

"If these Valiant Death Knights are as I understand, then their souls and power have merged into one. In essence, Yuan Niping no longer exists as an individual. How, then, do you propose to save her? After the other Valiant Death Knights die, their fused souls and powers will congregate into the remaining living knights. In short, Yuan Niping is beyond saving."

Su Yu frowned and said, "Merged into one? So, killing all the other Valiant Death Knights also won’t save Yuan Niping? At least as long as there’s enough time, couldn’t Yuan Niping amalgamate others’ power and revert?"

Ada sighed deeply and said, "It’s like countless iron swords where one of them is Yuan Niping, and becoming a Valiant Death Knight is like melting these iron swords into molten iron, then fusing this molten metal together to forge a giant sword. Even if you now divide the giant sword back into individual swords identical to the original ones, the newly forged swords, no matter how similar they appear, are not the same swords as before. Do you understand, Su Yu? The current Yuan Niping is no longer the original her."

Ada’s words rendered Su Yu silent.

After a long moment, Su Yu said heavily, "Qin Jiagui must not know about this."

Ada shook her head, "If he knew, he probably would have made a scene by now."

Su Yu thought for a bit before heaving a deep sigh, "Never tell Qin Jiagui about this. Even if the giant sword is re-divided and reforged into new swords that look exactly the same, if Qin Jiagui, unaware of the truth, believes they are still the original swords, isn’t that enough? People always need a belief, a goal to live for. I don’t want any more mishaps for him; we can only help him so much."
