Chapter 1016: Chapter 272: One’s Own Life (3/3)

"I haven’t forgotten either."

Taking a deep breath, Nian Quan remained calm.

Compared to the blazing Mars, Yinghuo, his Lu Hou Star Life, his Yue Bei Fate Pattern might indeed allow him to think more clearly about the pros and cons, so calmly that he almost mercilessly voiced his thoughts: "But Huo Qing, think rationally, how many of us, who have emerged from ordinary people, can help An Jing?"

"Isn’t it funny? You can barely find a few. An Jing doesn’t care about this because he can indeed find seeds among the weeds, just like Qu Tong, just like that Ye Yunsheng we discovered some time ago, their potential, only An Jing can uncover— but An Jing also has his own affairs to attend to."

"He is not entirely a person of our world, you and I both know it. We can’t rely on his power for everything. On the contrary, we must do everything we can to become his support, to find more allies for him!"

"Turn more friends, fewer enemies!"

Saying this, Nian Quan clenched his fist and stepped forward, facing Huo Qing without hesitation: "To transform the world, war is a means and not an end, destruction is a process not the termination, death is a cost not the result!"

"You haven’t forgotten where you came from, and I won’t forget my original heart!"

In fact, halfway through, Huo Qing’s initially tightly furrowed eyebrows had already relaxed, and upon hearing the latter part, he closed his eyes, sighed, and honestly lowered his head to apologize to Nian Quan: "I’m sorry. I was a bit too agitated earlier."

"I was also wrong."

Nian Quan raised his hand to stop Huo Qing from bowing, he also sighed: "You are right, if we are not careful, we don’t maintain our original heart, we will inevitably be assimilated by the big group in the end... You’re more alert than I am, which is a good thing, we indeed need to monitor each other."

"You’ve thought more than I have." Huo Qing said sullenly: "I... I was just scared... I recently learned the truth of Big Spear’s betrayal..."

"My uncle, he was originally part of Guiyi Army... but then he had a woman in the city, she wasn’t a rich person either, but they could live a stable life... he had a child. He didn’t want to take risks anymore. He didn’t want to make sacrifices anymore, he... he wanted to settle down, gave up stealth, gave up the hard, painful, endless, even desperate path for happiness..."

"He not only wanted to get rid of me, but he also wanted to get rid of Iron Hand, he was planning it, only he failed, but I didn’t hate him that much anymore, I even never hated him that much from the beginning, because I knew... he just changed, he wasn’t a traitor from the start."

"I am very afraid."

Saying this, Huo Qing’s expression was somewhat bewildered, he subconsciously glanced at the side of the room, at the small white cat curled up in the doorway: "I am also very angry, abandoning everyone’s happiness for his happiness... I can’t accept it. I don’t want to become someone like my uncle."

Nian Quan understood Huo Qing’s Guiyi Army background, and he understood Huo Qing’s fear a little, so he just sighed deeply: "It is indeed also my fault... My plan is too prone to misunderstanding. I should have been clearer, in the future, An Jing will surely have many major things to do, actions in Xuanye City and even Tianyuan need us to cooperate with each other, when he’s not around, we are each other’s support, we can’t doubt each other."

"Next time if I have any ideas, I’ll definitely share them all with you."

The exchange between Huo Qing and Nian Quan came to a temporary pause.

The evaluation of Subdue Evil on this was simple: "Bei and Lu Hou, Morning Star and Mars, water and fire clash, arguments are natural, you really need to be a bit careful."

"It’s fine."

Instead, An Jing, who listened to the whole process, was relieved, he smiled and said: "I’ve seen this kind of thing before, comrades fighting for the future will also argue, but precisely because there are contradictions, mutual adaptation, there will be more genuine trust."

"And what I have to do... is simply guide them to think more in daily life, this time I indeed didn’t do it well, but these two are excellent, they overcame the difficulties themselves."

"Haha." Hearing this, even Subdue Evil couldn’t help but chuckle: "It seems in the Tianyuan Realm, your destiny attribute leans more towards a Nature Master."

"Ha."

An Jing didn’t care, he waved his hand, preparing to vanish to a farther place, then openly walk back: "Ha, I still want to create a better future, a Creation from Nothing ex nihilo."

"Everyone in this world has their own thoughts, their own lives and dreams, not that if I say do something, they will do something, what I can do is merely become a banner and a role model, it’s impossible to really brainwash everyone."

"You can say this sentence."

Hearing this, Subdue Evil also became serious: "It means you are indeed qualified to be a Nature Master."

An Jing smiled, without responding.

After a while, he walked back to the mansion from the outer city: "I’m back!"

...

Time passed.

With all teams from the Four Cities Competition assembled, numerous leading True People and even True Lords were present, instead of being entertained in Xuanye City, within a thousand miles of Chonggang Town’s surroundings, Fiend Clouds surged like the sea, terrifying auras pressed the heavens and earth, vaguely forming an extremely huge Law Domain.

Over the city, not only were there Fiend Clouds, but even the Great Void was connected by fearful Spiritual Light, revealing those faint flickering deep patterns beyond the dark night sky— beneath the Stars, above the Heavenly Dome, were the vast network formation patterns, they interlaced, forming a giant cloud-like and rain-like formation map, enveloping the entire safety zone and the entire Great Spirit Vein.

This majestic and magnificent sight was merely an omen— soon, with the collaboration of esteemed True People and under the leadership of True Lords, Tianyuan Realm would, in a short time, completely shatter the barriers of the Great Void, fully overlapping the entire Chonggang Town and the surrounding Great Formation Spirit Vein with the Ancient Immortal Ruins, breaking through the barriers of the two worlds, and completely interweaving and merging in a short time!

No, not soon, but right now!

As the Heavenly Dome and the clouds were being torn apart bit by bit, a stream of golden radiance, much like the sun, poured from the Network Path from the distant Great Void, illuminating the whole of Chonggang Town, everyone could clearly feel it, the breath of all things in heaven and earth, the world Cave Heaven, the intertwining of the two worlds, began to become highly restless.

The air and Spiritual Light seemed to be boiling, the blurred space twisted and spread, then, completely shattered.

Crack—

A crisp sound.

All of Chonggang Town, amidst the unchanged tranquility, suddenly shifted from beneath the shadowy clouds to the extraordinarily bright Ancient Immortal Ruins!

The Four Cities Competition officially began.
