Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 172 The Choice of the Chosen One, Su Bai
Li Qiye was shocked when he heard this.

Even the Nine Netherworlds, the will of heaven and earth, could hardly detect the other party's existence.

It should be noted that the Nine Netherworlds are no longer the same as they were back then. In the era that Li Qiye traveled to, the Nine Netherworlds could not even withstand the invasion of a Buddha, who was merely a being at the Divine Lord level.

Nowadays, it is clear that more than one God-King has already been born in this Netherworld.

For example, beings like Jian Wuhen and Fenghuang Nishang have already reached the Divine Lord realm over countless years.

As the will of heaven and earth, the Nine Netherworlds would naturally be elevated because such a powerful being was born in the world.

At least it will never be like before, when it was forcibly invaded by a Buddha at the Divine Lord level.

However, it was somewhat unbelievable that he could not find any trace of the old Taoist priest.

So the question is, what is the background of this old Taoist priest?
"However, if you don't provoke such a strong person, he won't provoke you either, so you don't need to worry too much."

Jiuyou continued.

Li Qiye nodded, his expression rather strange.

The old Taoist priest was spitting blood when he calculated the cultivation techniques in his body. He didn't seem like an extraordinary person at all, yet he was given such a high evaluation by Jiuyou.

It seems this old Taoist priest has many secrets to hide; his vomiting blood back then might not have been fake.

Li Qiye put aside these thoughts, looked at the terrified and uneasy Su Bai in the mirror, and chuckled:
"You were the one who arranged those three fatal fates for him?"

This protagonist is just too unlucky.

Or perhaps the other person is an unlucky individual with incredible luck.

He was just incredibly lucky to have found an old lady from the human world to accompany him; otherwise, he wouldn't have been targeted by Jiuyou.

"It can be said to be true, or it can be said not to be true."

Jiuyou said calmly, "However, all of this is an illusion. Only if he can see through the illusion can he be reborn."

"Seeing through illusion and being reborn? What does that mean?"

Li Qiye looked at Jiuyou, his face full of doubt.

"Keep watching, you'll find out soon enough."

"Nine Nether said with a mysterious expression."

……

the other side.

Su Bai was listless and dazed, appearing extremely dejected.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, unable to enter a meditative state.

He remained silent for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Master, what did I do wrong? Why is Heaven treating me like this?"

Within the Soul Ring, Liu Ruyan remained calm. Upon hearing Su Bai's words, she said serenely:

"If there's any mistake, it's that they met me."

At this moment, Liu Ruyan had figured it out.

Su Bai was naturally not targeted by the will of heaven and earth.

Although he has great fortune, there have been many people with similar fortune throughout history.

His talent was quite good, but not to the point of being envied by the heavens.

Of all the people connected to Su Bai, the only one who might be targeted by the will of heaven and earth of the Nine Netherworld is undoubtedly her, who comes from the human world.

"Because I met you?"

Su Bai's eyes were full of doubt.

Liu Ruyan was too lazy to explain anything, and just quietly thought about it.

The will of heaven and earth in this Netherworld chose to target Su Bai in this way, rather than simply annihilating her. It seems that, as rumored, the will of heaven and earth cannot act arbitrarily and is subject to certain restrictions.

But no matter what, Su Bai has been targeted, which is definitely not a good thing. "It's a real pity. Although this guy has a bit of a flawed character, he has decent talent and strong luck. But when faced with something like this, she is powerless."

Liu Ruyan thought indifferently to herself.

She never truly regarded Su Bai as her disciple.

As a being at the Immortal Realm level, even if her current strength is less than one ten-thousandth of what it used to be, her vision is still there, and Su Bai's temperament is simply not worthy of her attention.

In Liu Ruyan's view, Su Bai's lack of talent was completely acceptable, because it was not impossible to change.

But if one's temperament is bad, that's it. At least Su Bai has experienced a lot along the way, but his temperament hasn't changed much.

His disappointment was especially profound during their trip to the secret realm, and he even started blaming her.

Otherwise, Liu Ruyan might have taken him as her personal disciple.

"Master, you will definitely help me, right?"

Su Bai realized at this moment that only this mysterious master could save him.

Thinking of his mysterious and unpredictable master, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

"Of course I will help you. If you perish, I will not be able to escape either."

Liu Ruyan was silent for a moment, then said, "Now there are only three paths to take. The first path is for me to do everything in my power to help you escape the Nine Netherworld."

"Once you leave this world, even the will of heaven and earth cannot do anything to you."

"Of course, you will definitely have to pay a price. The worst-case scenario is that you will become like me, only a spirit. Whether you can regain your physical body in the future is unknown."

"The second path is for you to throw away the Soul Ring and leave alone. The target of the will of heaven and earth is not you, but me. As long as you sever ties with me, the will of heaven and earth will no longer pay attention to you."

"There is also a third path. In my opinion, even the will of heaven and earth has many limitations and cannot bring misfortune to people for no reason."

"Although fate is unpredictable, there is a saying that my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven. As long as you are firm in your will and not afraid of heaven, even the heavens cannot do anything to you."

After saying this, Liu Ruyan stopped talking and waited for Su Bai to make a decision.

She only understood when she heard the mysterious old man say, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens."

Upon hearing these words, Su Bai was stunned. His eyes flickered, and he hesitated...

Inside the Seven Nights Prince's Palace.

Seeing this amusing scene, Li Qiye couldn't help but smile, a handsome curve forming at the corner of his lips. He said with a half-smile:

"Nine Netherworlds, as the will of heaven and earth, you are able to see through all living beings. Do you know what he is thinking now, and what choice he will make?"

Jiuyou said calmly, "He will choose the second path."

Li Qiye narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you so sure he absolutely won't choose anyone else?"

"Absolutely not."

"Nine Netherworld affirmed."

She is the will of this world, and she believes she can see through everything. She also understands Su Bai's personality very well, so she naturally has no doubt about her judgment.

"Since you're so sure, how about we make a bet?"

Li Qiye looked at Jiuyou and said with a smile.

"What are we betting on?" Jiuyou asked.

“I bet he’ll choose the third path. If I’m right, you can’t interfere with anything I do; otherwise, you’re in charge.”

Li Qiye said calmly.

Jiuyou remained silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, it's a deal!"

A smile appeared on Li Qiye's face. He looked at the image in the mirror and listened to the voice coming from it, his gaze deep.
