Chapter 643 Our Emotions Are Most Precious

The Crimson Dust Saint stepped forward, one shadow at a time.

With a single point of her finger, a Celestial Lord was completely annihilated.

Their physical forms didn’t disappear; they just froze in place, but both their souls and Dao Fruits shattered.

One Celestial Lord fell after another.

Until all Celestial Lords were eliminated.

Next came the Great Emperors.

The strong ones of the Emperor Realm fell in ranks.

Not even the Crimson Dust Saint needed to lift a finger.

“No! This can’t be happening!”

Lu Hongchen couldn’t hold back his scream.

How could Qing’er have turned out like this?

His adorable, bright Qing’er, why had she become this ruthless, world-destroying monster?

This can’t be right!

This can’t be right!

But the Crimson Dust Saint couldn’t hear Lu Hongchen’s words; she was just busy killing.

Emperors fell one after another.

In this moment, all the strong people were vulnerable and frail.

No matter how exceptional you were, no matter how invincible in the world, before a Saint, you were just a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Every Great Emperor perished.

Next, it was the Quasi-Emperors and Kings, their death even swifter, collapsing in large groups.

Death became the main theme of that moment.

Finally, the River of Time quieted.

The Crimson Dust Saint turned around, gazing at the figures frozen in crimson light.

Huh… still no feelings stirred.

It’s done; we can move on!

The Crimson Dust Saint vanished and reappeared in front of Lu Hongchen.

“Brother Red Dust, it’s all taken care of,” Qing’er said with a smile.

Lu Hongchen stared dumbfounded at the girl blooming like a flower.

When she was a Saint, she was so cold, as if devoid of any human emotion.

Now, standing before him, she had transformed back into a little girl.

“Why did you kill them?” Lu Hongchen asked.

The Crimson Dust Saint blinked.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold, crimson light engulfing everything around.

But she didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.

She understood; it was the Heavenly Dao at work.

The indifference faded from her gaze, and Qing’er looked a bit aggrieved.

“Brother Red Dust, you can’t blame me; they wanted to stop us from being together.”

“Aren’t we together now?” Lu Hongchen inquired.

“It’s different. Right now, we can be together because the River of Time is in a state of transformation and weakness. But if it returns to normal, you’ll only live in this timeline; you’ll never move forward again,” Qing’er explained.

Moving forward in time is an unstoppable trend; events that happened in the past can never be changed, only observed.

Changing them would require an immense price.

The greater possibility is that the River of Time could just shatter.

The Crimson Dust Saint had deduced countless times, and the result was always the River of Time’s destruction.

And this transformation of the River of Time was a perfect opportunity. As long as the River of Time could be frozen, it wouldn’t shatter.

The Crimson Dust Saint could gradually unseal the River, and her relationship with Brother Red Dust would always be progressing—that would be the perfect ending.

As for the damage to the River of Time?

That wasn’t something the Crimson Dust Saint needed to worry about.

“This isn’t right!” Lu Hongchen’s expression turned very serious.

Qing’er shrank back at the sight of his face.

Whenever Brother Red Dust showed such an expression, it meant she had done something wrong, which could lead to a scolding or worse.

But this time, she believed she hadn’t made a mistake!

“No, it’s right!”

“It’s not! What you’re doing is sacrificing Heaven and Earth to fulfill your relationship with me; that’s selfish!”

“I am selfish, but humans are inherently selfish. If everyone else can be selfish, why can’t I?” Qing’er countered.

Only Lu Hongchen in this realm allowed her to express so much.

“You say that humans are inherently selfish, so why did all those who died by your hand willingly go to their deaths? Didn’t they do it for Heaven and Earth? Aren’t they selfish too?”

“No! They came to stop me so they could survive; they did it for their own ideals and beliefs. They are selfish too!”

“Ridiculous!”

Lu Hongchen shouted loudly.

“Protecting Heaven and Earth for one’s ideals and beliefs can’t possibly be selfish!”

“That’s selfish too; ideals and beliefs are most important to them. By protecting their beliefs, isn’t that selfish?”

“Of course not! Protecting what’s important to you can’t be called selfish!”

“But you are also the most important to me; what I’m doing now is also to protect you. That can’t be called selfish!”

Lu Hongchen…

He actually wanted to say, your motivations aren’t solely for me; there’s a part of it that’s for you.

But those words were too hurtful to say.

“But what you’re doing now is killing every emotion in Heaven and Earth for the sake of our relationship,” Lu Hongchen said painfully.

“No!”

“What kind of emotion do they have? The bond between me and my brother is the most genuine. Their emotions aren’t genuine or precious; I’m here to protect the most precious emotion in the world.”

At this moment, the Crimson Dust Saint was extremely obstinate.

She believed everything she was doing was correct, without a shred of error.

Lu Hongchen was somewhat at a loss for words against her.

Even if he argued that the emotions of others were fewer than those between them, that reasoning absolutely wouldn’t convince Qing’er.

She had become deeply obsessed.

To persuade her, one could only start from her understanding.

Make her realize that this understanding was wrong.

“You said, in this world, our emotions are the most precious?” Lu Hongchen asked.

Qing’er nodded earnestly.

“Our emotions are the most valuable, worth more than Heaven and Earth, more than Saints, more than everything!”

“Then over such a long time, hasn’t any emotion arisen that’s more precious than ours?”

“No! In this world, there are mostly heartless people!”

“What if there was?”

Qing’er hesitated.

“No! That’s impossible!”

“What if there is? Would you let everything return to normal?” Lu Hongchen asked.

“No, even if there is, I won’t!”

“Lu Qing!” Lu Hongchen’s voice suddenly rose.

He was really angry.

“Didn’t I teach you all your life to destroy them for our sake?”

“If you remain so stubborn, then I… I’ll die right in front of you!”

Fear suddenly appeared on the Crimson Dust Saint’s face.

She tightly clutched Lu Hongchen’s clothes, her eyes red-rimmed.

“Brother, don’t abandon me again…”

“Then promise me, if there is a relationship in the world that’s as genuine as ours, let everything return to normal!”

“Will you promise or not?”

The Crimson Dust Saint’s mouth moved but struggled to say, “Then… fine…”
