Chapter 169: The Ascension Road Shatters, a Heart Full of Thousand Sores and Scars
Chen Changsheng was gone, and he and Little Black once again embarked on the Ascension Road.
Three years later, a figure blocked Chen Changsheng’s path.
Looking at the figure before him, Chen Changsheng’s face was filled with bitter laughter.
“No, don’t do this to me.”
“What should I do now that I’m gone?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s jests, Wanyan Yue, who had blocked his way, glanced at him indifferently and said,
“All the dead are dead, and the living continue to live.”
“You have completed your mission; it’s time for you to return.”
Hearing Wanyan Yue’s words, Chen Changsheng smiled, “Don’t rush me away!”
“I still have many questions for you. Two girls got into trouble, didn’t they?”
“They were severely injured and taken away by Wu Li.”
“Who?”
“Your little sweetheart, Li Niansheng.”
“Sigh!”
“Don’t say that; she’s my sister.”
In response to Chen Changsheng’s defense, Wanyan Yue glanced at him again.
“Do you have bl**d relations?”
“No.”
“Then she’s your little sweetheart.”
Chen Changsheng: “…”
Facing Wanyan Yue’s “persistence,” Chen Changsheng was at a loss for words.
Reluctantly, Chen Changsheng took out a carefully prepared coffin and spoke.
“Since we’ve met, take a look at the coffin I prepared for you. How do you like it?”
Seeing the coffin Chen Changsheng brought out, Wanyan Yue stepped forward and gently touched the coffin.
After a long moment, Wanyan Yue’s lips curled slightly as she said, “I like it.”
With that, Wanyan Yue opened the coffin and lay down in it.
“Help me tidy up my appearance; I want to d*e in the most beautiful state.”
“Also, my spiritual sense will dissipate soon. If there’s anything you want to ask, you’d better hurry.”
Listening to Wanyan Yue’s indifferent tone, Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and began to apply makeup for her.
One person bowed their head to apply makeup, while the other quietly watched.
At that moment, it seemed to become eternal.
“Do you still love me?”
Chen Changsheng, who was drawing eyebrows for Wanyan Yue, asked.
“I’ve forgotten what love feels like.”
“Then why is my presence still in your heart?”
“People are often trapped by what they cannot obtain when young, and I will always remember the scoundrel who shaved off my wolf hair on top of my head.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s hand paused momentarily before continuing.
“Can Wu Li succeed?”
“It’s unlikely.”
“Everyone is watching the Lower Realm. If he wants to unfold the folded Lower Realm, he’s essentially angering everyone.”
“If he wants to succeed, he needs to try again.”
After Wanyan Yue finished speaking, Chen Changsheng also finished her makeup.
Looking at Wanyan Yue’s delicate face, Chen Changsheng smiled, “My skills are getting better. This is the best I’ve done in thousands of years.”
Gazing at the man beside her, Yan Yue’s strong heart felt a bit sore.
Despite her best efforts, she ultimately couldn’t stay ahead of him.
“Can you hold me? I don’t want to d*e alone.”
Facing Wanyan Yue’s sudden request, Chen Changsheng leaned back slightly, surprised.
“That’s not possible!”
“I’m still a young man, and if I randomly hold such a beauty, how can I find a wife in the future?”
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s playful expression, Wanyan Yue couldn’t help but laugh.
“Fine, if you can’t find one, then I’ll be your wife.”
“That’s even more impossible; you’re a wolf, and I’m human. Our children would be werewolves.”
Although Chen Changsheng verbally refused, his hands still lifted Wanyan Yue from the coffin.
Lifting her hand lightly to touch Chen Changsheng’s face, Wanyan Yue whispered softly.
“Will the image of me in your heart fade with time?”
“Yes!”
“Then will you forget me?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“A stone can be shattered, even ground to powder.”
“But no matter how much you attack it, you can only make the stone smaller, not completely disappear.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s answer, Wanyan Yue’s lips trembled slightly.
“But such words will cause you more pain.”
“People say that the smallest thing is a needle tip.”
“Even if someone occupies a place in your heart smaller than a needle tip a million times over,”
“over time, your heart will eventually be full of sores and scars for some dead people, it’s not worth it!”
Seeing Wanyan Yue trying to persuade him, Chen Changsheng smiled calmly and said,
“Once I chose this path, my heart was destined to be full of sores and scars.”
“Longevity is good, but sometimes it also makes it hard to distinguish between life and d*ath.”
“The feeling of pain can remind me that I am still alive.”
Chen Changsheng spoke slowly, and the Wanyan Yue in his arms became even weaker.
“Help me revert to my original form; I want to be held like I used to.”
Hearing Wanyan Yue’s request, Chen Changsheng used spiritual strength to help the weakened Wanyan Yue revert to her original form.
Looking at the little white wolf in his arms, Chen Changsheng gently stroked its fur just as he used to.
Wanyan Yue also opened her wolf mouth, wanting to bite Chen Changsheng as she did before.
But weakened as she was, she couldn’t even open her mouth.
On her last breath, Wanyan Yue murmured, “The Heavenly Mandate is powerful, but sometimes it can also be an obstacle.”
“This Ascension Road is actually Wu Li’s Heavenly Mandate.”
“If the Ascension Road breaks, Wu Li’s Heavenly Mandate will also break. Too many people are plotting behind the scenes for the Lower Realm. You must be careful.”
“There are more secrets about the Heavenly Mandate, and you will have to explore them yourself next.”
After saying the last word, the little white wolf in Chen Changsheng’s arms slowly closed its eyes.
Facing such a situation, Chen Changsheng showed no emotion, only gently stroking the little white wolf in his arms.
After some time, Chen Changsheng placed the body of the little white wolf back into the coffin.
Just as he was putting the coffin away, the Ascension Road suddenly shook.
“Boom!”
The surrounding white space exploded, and the Ascension Road under Chen Changsheng’s feet instantly shattered.
Without the Ascension Road, Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze were rapidly descending.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng used the stone coffin to encase Bai Ze, while he himself flew with all his might, carrying the stone coffin.
It was unknown where they were, but cultivators here needed to bear enormous pressure to fly.
Fortunately, Chen Changsheng’s cultivation was solid enough to maintain his balance despite the effort.
When the white space finally disappeared, Chen Changsheng saw a battlefield filled with carnage.
Zuo Xinghe fought fiercely under the starlight.
But at this moment, his legs were gone, and half of his heart had been blown up.
The remaining half of his heart still stubbornly beat.
“Boom!”
A louder noise came, and a figure was thrown out from the darkness.
On closer inspection, it was Emperor Huangtian, Wu Li.
