NFBE Chapter 526 But Master is unwilling
Chapter 526 But Master is unwilling
"To sacrifice oneself to save the world?"
Xue Lan asked herself in her sea of consciousness, her faint voice echoing in the wind and snow before slowly fading away.
The woman looked up and smiled gently at Ling Yuanzi, whose face was full of sorrow. She was somewhat amused and exasperated.
"What is Master thinking? Xue Lan has never thought of abandoning herself!"
Seeing her master's slightly surprised expression, the woman continued:
"This is simply the safest approach for Yuanmingjie and me."
"A safe approach?"
Ling Yuanzi's throat was dry, and he looked at Xue Lan and spoke hoarsely:
"What's the difference between using one's own soul to ignite the furnace of heaven and earth and being reduced to ashes!"
The old man looked furious, but seeing Xue Lan's gray eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh. He could only speak in a hoarse, slow voice, questioning her:
"Xue Lan... what if no one remembers you..."
If no one in the vast Yuanming Realm remembers that there was once a person named Xue Lan, then will she be left with only a wisp of consciousness, unable to return, unable to live, unable to die, watching from outside the Yuanming Realm for eternity?
That is a torture more terrifying than drifting through the river of time!
Nobody knows her, nobody remembers her...
Thinking of this, Ling Yuanzi's fingers trembled incessantly, and the broken sword Zhuiyun behind him also emitted mournful cries.
"Risking the risk of never being able to enter the Yuanming Realm again is what you call... a safe method?"
"Master..." Xue Lan sighed softly.
"This is the only way. In the entire Yuanming Realm, only Xue Lan can do this!"
The woman's voice was resolute and firm: "I am not the goddess who sacrifices herself to save the world and ultimately vanishes into nothingness. I want to live!"
Just as Yuanming Realm was unwilling to perish together with the demons, Xue Lan was also unwilling to risk her life for those disgusting demons.
The woman tilted her head towards Ling Yuanzi and spoke gently:
"No matter how long the wait..."
"I really want to come back and see you all!"
Seeing the smile in Xue Lan's eyes, Ling Yuanzi couldn't help but burst into tears. He casually wiped away his tears and said nothing more.
Xue Lan comforted Ling Yuanzi:
“I know that my master will not forget me, my junior brothers and sisters will not forget me, and the mountains and rivers of Yuanming Realm will not forget me.”
"I don't know why, but I just firmly believe it."
"I will wait, until Yuanming Realm remembers me..."
"After all, I still have a lot of things to do!"
Ling Yuanzi looked at Xue Lan, unable to utter a single word:
In this plan where one wrong step would lead to utter ruin, Xue Lan remained as calm as a gentle breeze.
Her grey eyes were bright, and her smile was gentle.
She was too frank, Ling Yuanzi thought to herself.
Embrace your crazy plans and speak your mind freely.
Xue Lan will not let Yuanming Realm down, but what about Yuanming Realm?
Will Yuanmingjie let Xue Lan down?
Xue Lan's overwhelming trust nearly crushed Ling Yuanzi's spirit. The old man slowly spoke:
What if we don't remember you anymore?
Xue Lan lowered her eyes slightly and smiled faintly:
"Master, please don't be so pessimistic! There are so many people in the Yuanming Realm!"
The woman's voice grew softer and softer:
"Even if everyone forgets, at least the Yuanming Realm still exists."
At least the Yuanming Realm still exists!
Ling Yuanzi looked at Xue Lan's thin back, her round almond eyes, and her excessively heavy black clothes.
Who would have thought?
Ling Yuanzi sighed painfully in his heart.
Who would have thought that beneath such a thin and docile exterior lies a mad and desperate soul?
"Xue Lan, what should we do, Master?"
As Ling Yuanzi spoke, a deep sense of powerlessness swept over the old man, making his hands and feet feel cold.
"I have no way to stop you, and I don't even have the right to stop you."
The shattered Yuanming Realm and its myriad inhabitants await Xue Lan's plan to succeed.
They forged the realm into a vessel, drove out the demons, and restored peace and tranquility to the Yuanming Realm.
This was a matter of great righteousness for all living beings, yet it weighed heavily on Ling Yuanzi, making it hard for him to breathe.
Xue Lan looked at the old man and gave a bitter smile, murmuring in a hoarse voice:
"But Master... is unwilling..."
Even knowing that the person in front of him was not a young man in his twenties, but a Wolf King who had lived for thousands of years, with a deep mind and superb cultivation.
He still didn't want Xue Lan to face such a cruel end.
Xue Lan's eyes welled up with tears, and her heart felt as if it had been gently squeezed by something, a bittersweet ache spreading through her.
The woman spoke through tears:
"turn out to be……"
"Even the True Man Lingyuan, who was willing to sacrifice himself to suppress the Heavenly Revelation Pillar, had his own selfish motives!"
"But there's no other way, Master!"
"Xue Lan is the only choice!"
There will never be another person in the Yuanming Realm more suitable to carry out the plan than Xue Lan. No one has a deeper understanding of karma and future prospects than her, no one has a stronger soul than her, and no one is better at weapon crafting than her.
The plan to forge the realm into a vessel was tailor-made and could only be undertaken by Xue Lan.
Only Xue Lan can do it!
"Master!" The woman clapped her hands in front of Ling Yuanzi: "Are you a little happier? I'll be a god when I come back."
"Aren't you happy to have a disciple who is worshipped by millions of people?"
Ling Yuanzi smiled sadly and looked at Xue Lan, saying:
How can I be happy?
"Xue Lan, how does Master want to be happy?"
The smile on Xue Lan's face slowly faded, and a woman's soft, bitter voice echoed in the dim cave:
"Master, I'm sorry..."
Ling Yuanzi knew Xue Lan's mind was made up, and that discussing this heavy topic any longer would be pointless. The old man forced a smile:
"Are you going to see your senior master? He came to the War Puppet Mansion with me."
Xue Tong and Shen Suan Zhenren were outside the Black Tower. A girl in a light blue dress looked on anxiously, hoping that her host would come out alive.
Xue Tong transmitted his voice to Xue Lan for the thirty-second time:
Are you there? Are you alright?
"I'm fine. I'll be up in a minute!"
Not long after the woman finished speaking, Xue Tong saw the gate of the black tower not far away slowly open, and two figures, one in black and one in gray, slowly flew out from it. They were Xue Lan and Ling Yuanzi.
Xue Tong first looked Xue Lan up and down to make sure that the person was not missing any limbs before looking at Ling Yuanzi.
Upon closer inspection, Xue Tong noticed that the atmosphere between the two was extremely strange; she felt like she could freeze to death standing in the middle.
"You two..."
The young girl asked Xue Lan cautiously, "Has the act of teacher-student harmony finally come to an end?"
Xue Lan glanced at her and transmitted her voice:
"The real situation is much more complicated than that. I'll keep it short."
"He knows my true identity and plans."
Xue Tong froze on the spot, then screamed in Xue Lan's mind:
"You are crazy!"
"It's one thing to reveal your true identity, but you dare to tell me about your damned plan..."
"That's impossible! Our host has always been well-behaved!"
"You inner demon, come out here!"
The inner demon within Xue Lan's sea of consciousness turned pale.
She really knows me!
Xue Lan sighed inwardly, then looked at the Calculating Master not far away and ran over to him:
"Master Uncle, how have you been lately?"
Shen Suan Zhenren glanced at the obedient woman before him, then at Ling Yuanzi who wore a sour expression, and spoke with a slight smile:
"Did you offend your master again?"
Xue Lan shook her head, stubbornly refusing to admit it in front of her gentle senior uncle:
"No, I didn't do anything."
