Chapter 457: The Price for “Forcing” Tianxuan to d*ath, Ashes Vanishing into Smoke
Facing Tianxuan’s request, Chen Changsheng fell silent for a long time.
Seeing that Chen Changsheng was unwilling to agree, Tianxuan spoke again.
“Sir, you have always cared for us the most, please just help me one last time.”
Facing Tianxuan’s plea, Chen Changsheng turned his head and looked at him, saying calmly,
“Although your physical body still exists, your spiritual sense has already dissipated.”
“Just maintaining this wisp of spiritual sense is already as difficult as ascending to heaven. Now you want to fight one more battle; this is simply a pipe dream.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s concession, Tianxuan said happily,
“Others can’t do it, but Sir must have a way, because you are the Sir, the omnipotent Sir.”
“The price for going against the heavens will be very high.”
“Sir jests, given my current situation, there is nothing else I cannot lose.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng sighed deeply, helplessly,
“What level do you want to achieve?”
“The stronger, the better!”
“Alright, then I’ll help you one last time.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng took out a stone coffin and placed it in front of Tianxuan.
“This stone coffin is of hard quality, left by the Hundred Defeats Immortal Lord. Over the years, I’ve been inscribing array formations on it.”
“Except for not being able to delay the dispersal of life force, the dispersal of spiritual sense and spiritual power can be greatly delayed.”
“Lying inside should preserve your last wisp of spiritual sense.”
“I knew Sir had good things,” Tianxuan touched the stone coffin in front of him and said with a smile, “Then what should we do next?”
“To drive my body, relying solely on this remaining wisp of spiritual sense is not enough.”
“Of course, relying only on this wisp of spiritual sense is insufficient. Therefore, I need to use other methods.”
“I have developed something new, which is using array formations to simulate the thinking of living beings, but this method always lacks the final spark of spirit.”
“If the spiritual sense of a living being is used as the key to activate the array formation, then this deficiency can be remedied.”
“However, this method cannot last long, as over time, the spiritual sense of the living being will be eroded by the array formation.”
After hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Tianxuan became even more excited.
“Such a miraculous method could only be thought up by Sir.”
“What should I do next?”
“To make a dead person like me come back to life, this cost might still be insufficient.”
Facing Tianxuan’s follow-up questions, Chen Changsheng fell into silence again. He seemed very reluctant to reveal the next steps.
Seeing this, Tianxuan immediately grabbed Chen Changsheng’s hand and shook it, like a child asking their father for candy.
“Sir, since you have spoken so far, just tell me the rest of the steps.”
“Sigh~”
With a deep breath, Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and said,
“Without spiritual sense, thoughts alone cannot fight, so you still need a large amount of spiritual sense.”
“The Sea of Suffering body unifies essence, energy, and spirit. Your physical strength is the best fuel for spiritual sense.”
“I can use an array formation to transform your flesh and bl**d into spiritual sense.”
“In this way, you can possess the fighting power.”
“But the problem is, you have already died.”
“Fighting at your cultivation level, your final result will surely be ashes vanishing into smoke, with no remains.”
“If years later, your son wants to pay respects to you, he won’t even find your corpse.”
Tianxuan, having obtained the answers he wanted, did not look at Chen Changsheng’s eyes but happily lay down in the coffin.
“Sir, I knew finding you was the right choice.”
“I thought you would refine me into a puppet to complete this final battle, but you let me personally complete this last journey.”
“As for my little brat, Sir just needs to set up a memorial for me.”
“If he has filial piety, I will forever remain in his heart.”
“If he doesn’t, forget about my physical tomb, even if I stand alive in front of him, it wouldn’t matter.”
Speaking, Tianxuan turned his head towards Chen Changsheng beside the coffin.
“Sir, when I wake up again, I will face my last battle in life.”
“At that time, I may not be able to bid you farewell, so I am saying some things ahead of time.”
“Mr.’s brother, Nalan Fuyao, is not a simple character. There is his shadow behind the Thunder Tribulation and the Battle of Extinction.”
“I and the Jade Emperor relied on his backing, though we don’t know what he intends to do, but his ambition is huge, and he will definitely act in this great era.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “I know, is there anything else to say?”
“Yes!”
“Sir went through all this trouble, surely to reform this era.”
“I looked at those few young ones you brought in, two of them have issues with their foundations, but seem to have received some secret methods to mend them.”
“Only Mr. and Emperor Huangtian could have such means.”
“Sir wants to make sweeping reforms, Nalan Fuyao will definitely take action beforehand.”
“Thirteen can temporarily hold off those fools left by the Battle of Extinction. At critical moments, I will clear some obstacles for Thirteen.”
“With my and Thirteen’s cooperation, we should be able to force out some of Nalan Fuyao’s hidden cards.”
“In this way, Sir won’t be completely ignorant of the enemy.”
“Therefore, I earnestly ask Sir not to hinder us at critical times. Rather than being buried, we would rather do something for Sir.”
“Whether or not to leave the so-called physical body is really not important to us.”
“I agree, is there any other problem?”
Seeing Chen Changsheng agree, Tianxuan smiled happily.
“One last question.”
“Those young ones outside should also be chosen by Sir, will they d*e?”
“No, because you have already paved the way for them.”
“Your situation is unlikely to happen again.”
“With Sir’s words, Tianxuan can rest in peace. Our efforts were ultimately worthwhile.”
After saying this, Tianxuan closed his eyes, and the coffin lid slowly closed.
Looking at the coffin in front of him, Chen Changsheng stood silently in place.
At this moment, a glimmer of light disappeared from his eyes, because he had personally “forced” Tianxuan and Thirteen to d*ath.
If Chen Changsheng hadn’t nurtured Thirteen and Tianxuan into such towering figures, they would not have died.
There are myriad living beings in the world, countless strong people, and even more who have lived for a long time.
But they could live so long not because they were invincible, but because they were “selfish.”
In their eyes, being a strong person meant they should be unrestrained, and all living beings were merely straw dogs.
This approach was “wrong,” but they could live for a long time.
Wu Li and others opened up paths for the sake of all living beings under heaven; they were the true “strong.” Their actions were “right.”
But the problem is, they cared about the welfare of all living beings but never considered themselves.
By personally sending them down this path, it was equivalent to personally “forcing” their deaths.
