Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 1268 - Chapter 1268 Chapter 798 Request_2

Chapter 1268: Chapter 798: Request_2 Chapter 1268: Chapter 798: Request_2 The same impeccable facial features, yet a single glance was enough to captivate one’s soul.

But if one were to observe carefully, they could still notice the differences between the two women.

This slight distinction naturally stemmed from the aura each woman possessed.

One radiated an unrivaled domineering presence, every frown and smile carried a powerful air, making it hard for others to gaze upon her for long.

The other seemed like a dignified lady of high standing, shy and about to blossom, all the more endearing.

Simply put,

One was like the Mysterious Woman above the Nine Heavens, stunningly beautiful, but held at an unapproachable distance, to be admired from afar like a bubble.

The other was like a gentle, warm jade hidden away in the boudoir, delicate and real, within reach to touch.

Jiang Hui suddenly sensed an inexplicable tension in the air…

Regaining his composure, he subconsciously opened his mouth.

Even someone with a dense head would realize why the Willow God posed such a question upon her arrival.

Jiang Hui sighed inwardly, the situation was even trickier than dealing with the Tai Sui Meat.

He had never anticipated that such subtle and indescribable emotions would arise between him and the Willow God over this matter.

But such a personality should not be present in the original body.

Does he look down upon the true owner?

Of course, the answer is impossible.

Since ancient times, those who wield power over the world have always cherished beauty as much as they cherished their lands.

The appreciation for beauty is universal.

But why did he refuse her then?

The reason is quite simple.

It was merely because he felt that he was not of the same world as the former.

The former was dedicated to resolving the chaos of darkness, risking her life for the cause, a true professional woman in the modern sense, authoritative and decisive.

But Jiang Hui did not fancy women with such personalities.

He preferred the character of a gentle and submissive woman.

However, to say he wasn’t moved would be a blatant lie under broad daylight.

A graceful person is always a delight to the eyes.

Not to mention that his woman was but an aspect of someone else,

And not even a true aspect at that, merely an Imprint left in the ruins.

The Willow God was originally a Willow Tree, and his original form was also the Divine Willow; just this alone was an intangible bond.

But he always felt that the Willow Emperor was a peerless existence of ancient times; how could he allow such worldly affection to disturb her mind? She should be unparalleled in elegance, looking down on all, proud above the heavens and the earth.

This question was difficult to answer.

Because Jiang Hui did not want to go against his own heart.

Whether it was the Willow God resembling a water town in Jiangnan or the majestic presence like an Empress descending to dust–

In reality, they were the same person.

Willow God!

If dreams are like bubbles, shattered upon touch.

Then Jiang Hui was reluctant to break the current status quo.

As for the greatest enemies of the gods like Emperor Huang Tian, Ye Emperor, and others, they are the Bizarre Clan, the Bizarre Ten Ancestors.

But his enemies weren’t limited to these.

This path, though seemingly smooth sailing for now, is just the calm before the storm, merely an illusion; he was uncertain how far he could go or even the true purpose of his arrival.

But it was for this very reason.

He couldn’t rush certain matters.

In doing so, he could end up in conflict with his original beliefs.

“Fellow Daoist stopped laughing… The past has passed, let’s not talk about it…”

Before Jiang Hui could speak, the Willow God changed the subject as if the previous one had been a mere joke, her expression instantly turning solemn, she spoke as gently as the flowing water:

“Today, besides this matter, there is indeed another important matter to discuss.”

“The edge of The Boundary Sea is stirring with darkness, the source of which may be related to the existence of several Quasi-Immortal Emperor level dark beings.

Although I am determined to protect, a single effort is not enough, we need unity. I see that you are already showing signs of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and I hope that you could lend me your strength to jointly defend against foreign enemies and restore tranquility to All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!”

“Moreover, there is another matter for which I’d like to seek your assistance.”

“You’ve been to The Boundary Sea, so you should know about the predecessor from the Emperor Fallen era, who was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. That predecessor has a thread of unyielding spirit that has persisted to this day. Since you were able to get your branch spirit recognized by heaven and earth to exist independently, isn’t there a way you could also enable that predecessor to continue existing? Otherwise, at most in a hundred years, it will completely dissipate…”

“This…”

Jiang Hui fell into deep thought.

He did indeed have a Primordial Spirit relic in hand, but for the remnants of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Level Existence, he was not sure if it would work, as the instructions had not clearly stated the scope of the relic’s effect.

“If Daoist has difficulties, then let it be!” the Willow God said with a subtle wave of her hand, her expression unchanged.

To her, it seemed that Jiang Hui was reluctant to help.

But this was not entirely unreasonable.

After all, it was nothing more than a vestige of spirit from countless eras ago.

Even if it could be saved, the price to pay would be substantial.

Even now, reaching the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm herself, she did not possess such power, nor did she know how it could be done.

She spoke out of a desire to try her luck.

After all, the number of enemies was vast.

Even a single helping hand would be a great boon.

“It is not that Daoist is evading, but this matter is of great significance. Although I have some methods, after all, that is a remnant of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Level Existence, and I am not entirely confident in my heart.”

Jiang Hui slowly spoke.

“However, in recognition of their past exertions for All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, and the beings of the Ten Thousand Races, I am willing to give it a try. It will take some time, though, and I cannot guarantee success.”

“Your willingness to try is already a delightful surprise, and as for success or failure, it will depend on the predecessor’s own fortune,” the Willow God replied immediately, realizing she had misunderstood Jiang Hui and offered a smile of apology.

…

…

The Boundary Sea.

Beyond Nirvana.

Lies an Abyss.

Like the gaping maw of a colossal beast.

It is a place that surpasses the boundaries of human imagination.

Spanning between the fissures of reality and the unknown.

Like the deepest eye of the Universe, it observes all existence and voids; it is not a simple hollow or crack, but a place where time and space are warped.

Beneath the Abyss, the darkness is tangible and thick, swallowing all light, and its aura ancient and desolate, existing for untold ages.

“The opposing party has returned to the Immortal Domain, making it rather difficult to break through there and to sacrifice the beings there…”

At the bottom of the Abyss.

Emperor Cang and Emperor Hong exchanged glances, their vast voices echoing around.

Reaching the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, the mode of combat has already transcended anything ordinary beings can imagine, the same applies even to Immortal Kings.

This Realm, although not quite on par with the Heavenly Dao, is part of it, allowing one to battle across epochs of time, in various eras, and in numerous dimensions. With an indestructible True Body, losing all false bodies would still leave one unscathed, with vitality and strength far surpassing the King’s Domain, and a life force that has reached unprecedented heights.

Emperor Cang and Emperor Hong were not exceptions.

They tread upon the river of time; almost every period has an avatar of theirs governing it.

But now,

it is their True Bodies.

Their figures flicker in the dim light of the Abyss, reminiscent of towering mountains,

“The opposing party returning to the Immortal Domain is indeed troublesome news,” said Emperor Hong in a deep voice that reverberated at the bottom of the Abyss, creating ripples invisible to the naked eye. His figure seemed to merge with the Abyss itself,

Emperor Cang nodded slightly, his gaze serious. “The Immortal Domain, since ancient times, has been the Holy Land where All Spirits aspire, the only main domain of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. Now with two Quasi-Immortal Emperors guarding it, we may need to re-plan our strategy.”

“However,” Emperor Hong’s tone changed, a glint flickering in his eyes, “since we have stepped into this Realm, we cannot easily admit defeat. The Immortal Domain may be strong, but we have our advantages. Beneath the Abyss lies countless secrets and powers accumulated over the eons, as long as we can grasp the mysteries within, we might not be unable to have a fighting chance.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Cang’s lips curled into a faint smile, seemingly quite agreeing with Emperor Hong’s thoughts. “Exactly, what lies beneath the Abyss might be the key to reversing the situation. According to legend, the bottom of the Abyss is connected to the ancient Chaostic Ocean, where secrets from the dawn of the Universe and power enough to overturn everything are hidden.”
