Chapter 1085 It's Okay If Today Wasn't Good

Under the desolate sky, the great battle had just ended. Groups of people and shamans sat drinking wine, with mountains of fire demon corpses piled up in the background.

Xu Wenwu spread his hands wide, summoning countless fire demon corpses that piled up into a small mountain.

Tianyu carried over a large piece of barren iron, threw the 100,000-jin iron plate directly onto the pile of fire demon corpses, then laid out soft cushions, set up tables and chairs, served fine wine, and invited Xu Wenwu to sit down.

Both the man and the shaman were covered in wounds, yet they faced the distant pillar of heaven, drinking and boasting on the mountain of fiery demon corpses, neither paying any attention to their injuries.

"Old Xu! I never expected you to be such a formidable fighter despite your small frame! Even though we've fought so many battles together, I'm still amazed by you every time. Your Dharma form looks really impressive. It's a pity I met you so late. If I had met you when we were at the Dao Foundation stage, I would have definitely gotten the same one. Once that Dharma form shines, wouldn't it charm a whole bunch of beautiful witches?"

Xu Wenwu clinked glasses with Tianyu, drank it all in one gulp, and then said, "You can fight just as well without relying on your Dharma Form, right? But why do you need a weak Dharma Form? What's that thing again, the Flame God Flower?"

Tianyu said, "You don't understand, I am a deeply affectionate witch! Moreover, this Flame God Flower will bloom when my Heart World is fully formed, which means that when I become a Desolate Witch, I will have a celestial plant in my Heart World! Envious, aren't you?!"

Xu Wenwu asked doubtfully, "Is it so remarkable that there are immortal plants in the World of the Mind?"

Tianyu rolled her eyes and said, "Otherwise what?"

The two, one human and one witch, were drinking the immortal wine specially provided by Wei Yuan for the Nine-Eyed One. It was rich in spiritual energy, and an ordinary Dharma Avatar would be knocked out after just one cup. Xu Wenwu had already drunk several cups, and his head was already a little dizzy, his thoughts slowing down considerably.

He vaguely remembered that having immortal plants in one's mental image world was quite common, nothing special. Someone mentioned having a ton of immortal plants in their mental image world during their Dao Foundation stage. Wait, how could someone at the Dao Foundation stage have a mental image world?

Xu Wenwu tried hard to figure things out so he could refute Tianyu. Tianyu's condescending tone, typical of a rich second-generation, naturally disgusted him.

Although the two had forged a bond that transcended races through countless bloody battles over the years, Xu Wenwu felt he could never compromise on his hatred for rich kids.

Xu Wenwu was trying hard to remember who that guy who was born with a bunch of immortal plants was when Tianyu patted him on the shoulder again and asked, "Old Xu, do you have a girl you like?"

This question instantly stirred up countless memories for Xu Wenwu, making him feel heartbroken just thinking about it. He sighed deeply and said, "Of course there is. Her name is Yu Shi, and she's incredibly beautiful..."

There was also Xinran; back then, the thing I most wanted to see when I got to school every day was her smile…

But if we're talking about pure innocence, then Maizen is the best...

There's also Qingyan...

Tianyu listened to each name one by one. Behind each name was a story, filled with sunshine, breeze, golden leaves and fluttering snowflakes, as well as the innocence and naivety of youth.

Each story was poignant, and Tianyu listened intently. For every story Xu Wenwu told, he would drink a large cup of wine.

After about ten cups, Tianyu was deeply moved, but then he suddenly realized something and said, "Wait, Lao Xu, something doesn't sound right. You weren't with them?"

"Unrequited love." Xu Wenwu sighed deeply. That beautiful, innocent world beyond the heavens was gone forever.

Tianyu was completely taken aback that Xu Wenwu hadn't won any of them; it was truly unbelievable. In Tianyu's eyes, letting go of even one of the beautiful witches she liked would be a sin, a sign of not trying hard enough, and a disservice to them. Tianyu couldn't tolerate becoming such a despicable witch, so she had always been striving to improve.

In this matter, the human and the witch were unable to empathize, and even their fighting spirit could not be overcome.

Tianyu wanted to comfort Xu Wenwu, but for a moment she didn't know how to start. After hesitating for a long time, she said earnestly, "Old Xu, don't be sad. It's okay if you didn't have a good day today, because tomorrow won't be any better anyway."

Hearing his sincere tone, Xu Wenwu nodded vigorously, but then felt that something was amiss.

Tianyu sighed again, "Although you didn't get them, you have the most beautiful memories. I have them all, but I always feel empty. Is Little Beauty the only one in my life? What's the difference between this kind of life and just waiting to die?"
Therefore, your human sages have a saying: "Too much is as bad as too little." I think that makes a lot of sense. I'm going too far, you're going too far, and we're both facing the same problem!

The man and the shaman felt a deep connection, clinked their cups together forcefully, and each drank it all.

After drinking a full cup, Tianyu turned his head, pointed to the distant sky, and said, "See that guy? That guy named Wei Yuan."

“Of course.” Tianyu sighed, “I’ve known him for a long time, but I’ve found that I’ve never really understood him. Every time I think I understand, I find that I only understand the most superficial layer.”

When he was stranded in the desolate realm, we went to Fengmang together. Back then, he was careful to conceal his identity. Later, when the Flame Demons attacked, a shaman we both knew died. Suddenly, he went mad, no longer caring about revealing his identity, and fought the Flame Demons in a fierce battle that terrified us powerful shamans!
After that battle, every shaman in the fortress forgot their human identity. Only from that day on did I understand that shamanism is a belief, not a race.

"Such a thing? How come I've never heard him mention it before?" Xu Wenwu wondered, still somewhat dazed.

Tianyu continued, “Every time you come to the Desolate Realm, he always stands there, monitoring the surrounding world. In the eyes of us Liwu, that guy is like a mother eagle, watching over a flock of eaglets, watching you train, but not allowing you to encounter any risks. To be honest, in our Liwu's opinion, this is completely unnecessary. How can one break through oneself without experiencing life and death?”

Xu Wenwu instinctively felt that this statement was correct, but out of his instinctive aversion to rich second-generation heirs, he started arguing with Tianyu.

Under the desolate sky, Wei Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the three pillars of heaven at the edge of the distant sky.

At this moment, the Sixth Princess flew over with some difficulty and stood beside Wei Yuan, asking softly, "What are you looking at?"

Wei Yuan pointed into the distance and said, "In that direction, far away from where you can't see, there are three pillars of heaven. That is the lair of the Flame Demon. Originally, there was a fourth pillar, but later a friend of mine sacrificed his life to break the pillar and preserve the temporary peace of this land."

Wei Yuan spoke calmly, and the Sixth Princess asked curiously, "Is your friend also a Dharma Aspect?"

"No, he is the Heavenly Witch."

The sixth princess exclaimed, "Isn't the Heavenly Witch an immortal? How can an immortal also face death?" She was somewhat confused.

Wei Yuan sighed inwardly. He didn't quite understand the Melting Dragon's Mindset back then, but now that he's taken another step closer to where he was back then, he understands it a little better.

Having taken the position of the Molten Dragon, one bears the responsibility not only for one's race, but also for the world.

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The sixth princess felt dizzy from the heat and swayed slightly, almost falling to the ground.

Wei Yuan said gently, "Go back and rest for a while."

The Sixth Princess, always docile and obedient, showed no stubbornness. She nodded, turned, and flew away. Large patches of blood still clung to her robes. In the battle that had just ended, she had slain several Dharma Aspect Flame Demons. Her ruthlessness and strength were completely at odds with her delicate and sweet appearance.

Yao Lan appeared quietly, watching the Sixth Princess leave, and said, "The little one is a bit soft, but quite stubborn. However, with you protecting them like this, there's no danger to their lives, and the training effect will be much worse."

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay if the effect is a little less than ideal. We can just do it a few more times. As long as our generation finishes this life-or-death battle, they won't need to fight as hard as we do."

Yao Lan said solemnly, "You and Rong Long are both true power sorcerers!"

Speaking of the Molten Dragon, Wei Yuan's eyes became much deeper as he stared at the distant Heavenly Pillar and slowly said, "However, the life-and-death battle of our generation is far from over."

Yao Lan also looked at the Heavenly Pillar and said coldly, "Sooner or later, I will uproot them all!"

Wei Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Do you want to become a Heavenly Witch?"

The position of Heavenly Witch in the Desolate Realm seems to have been created for Yao Lan, who is at least stronger than Wei Yuan, a human.

But Yao Lan shook her head and said, "You don't need to worry about me. I have recently begun to have some insights. As long as I kill enough Flame Demons and make enough contributions to heaven and earth, the Desolate Realm will naturally have a Heavenly Witch position that belongs to me."

Your position as a Celestial Witch was left to you by the Molten Dragon; no one can take it away.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan was stunned. No one can take it away?

Was he really going to become this Heavenly Witch? At this moment, Wei Yuan wanted to be a human again.
