Destiny is ashes

Chapter 132 Son of God
"I understand."

An Jing stood calmly in front of Instructor Li, waiting for him to catch his breath.

The person in front of him gave An Jing an unusually high amount of money for selling himself at the beginning. Similarly, if it weren't for Instructor Li's optimism and recommendation, the owner of the medicine manor would not have looked at An Jing differently when he first entered Xuanming Manor.

Although An Jing will attract everyone's attention with his abilities later on, there is no doubt that Instructor Li is one of the people who is most optimistic about An Jing from beginning to end.

It was also him who joined the white-robed scholar in the subsequent pursuit. Instructor Li did have a lot of connection with An Jing.

Even... An Jing had a guess in his mind.

"I will kill you before you are completely corrupted by the demon."

So, An Jing said, "Now tell me, what is the situation of the evil demon?"

"I'm in very good shape. I can kill dozens of internal energy warriors like you with just one slap."

After spitting out the black blood, Instructor Li's face turned abnormally red, apparently a last burst of vitality.

In order to scare An Jing away, he exaggerated as much as possible: "Not to mention the Red Armor Guards, three of the five shuttles of the Divine Sect crashed, nearly ten people like me who are at the peak of the inner breath and inner strength died, and a martial vein master was killed!"

"Trust my last words, you'd better run away as soon as possible!"

"A martial vein master actually took action?"

An Jing seemed not to hear the intimidation in Instructor Li's words at all, but instead he became thoughtful: "I didn't expect that in just a few days, the Demon Cult would actually mobilize so many people to hunt me down. Do they really value me so much?"

"An Jing, don't you understand?"

Seeing An Jing showing no fear at all, Instructor Li, who was only breathing his last breath, couldn't help but raise his voice: "The Divine Cult needs you alive. If you die and are transformed by the Heavenly Demon, the deaths of those children in Xuanming Manor and everyone else will be meaningless!"

"Didn't you originally want to escape? Now is the best opportunity, why don't you plan to leave now?"

At this moment, Instructor Li even laughed out of anger, panting heavily and mockingly said, "Could it be that this demon has a fate with you, and you are destined to fight it?"

An Jing lowered his eyes and looked at the other person.

“It’s not destined.”

He said: "Before I wanted to escape, but now I want to fight."

"Whether it's fleeing or fighting, that's my character."

"The fact that I was able to escape this disaster and the fact that I wanted to fight this battle were all choices caused by my character."

"Whether I live or die, it doesn't mean that the life and death of other people in Xuanming Manor are meaningless. They are all independent people, not my vassals... You always regard people as an appendage of fate, but you are always unwilling to admit that fate depends on people, and people are the most important."

"Hey." Instructor Li chuckled, and An Jing didn't care: "If you really don't want me to die, just tell me the truth. If I really can't beat you, I will leave."

"What's more." At this point, An Jing leaned down and probed Instructor Li's mind: "It is the law of nature for Dachen to protect the people."

"But even you will fight to the death to stop the demons, for your 'believers' and 'territory'."

"I am different from you. I am a human. Killing you is one thing, but slaying the demons is another."

"I just want to know, Instructor Li, you are clearly an undercover agent of Dachen, so why do you appear to be so loyal to the Demon Cult in this regard?"

"Undercover? So you misunderstood this..." After hearing this, Instructor Li was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, even laughed out loud, coughing up blood while laughing: "Yes, I did provide some information to Dachen and asked them to come as quickly as possible."

"But that has nothing to do with being an undercover agent." "You don't think that Dachen and the Divine Religion have a deep-seated feud and are irreconcilable, do you?"

"You don't think there are no people of ours in the court?"

"There are also some of our people among this group of Red Armor Guards, so it is so refreshing to join forces."

"It's just a pity that there are also people from Dachen in the Divine Religion, so they were picked... But it doesn't matter. Bai Qinghan has returned to the mountain, and you are also wandering in the wilderness. Dachen didn't get you, so the plan to pick peaches this time has failed."

With blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, Instructor Li looked at An Jing with a mocking look: "An Jing, don't think you can escape the fate of the Divine Religion!"

"I have already sent all your information to the lurkers in Dachen along the way... So what if you hate the Cult?"

“Even if you leave the Divine Religion and join Dachen, you may still be working for the Divine Religion! But then… ahem, haha, your title will change from Divine General to Heavenly Pride. Other than that, there will be no changes!”

"Who said I'm going to join Dachen?"

Compared to the excited Instructor Li, An Jing was extremely calm: "I already knew that there must be one of your people inside Dachen, but I didn't expect that there was someone else undercover."

"Sure enough, this dynasty has become completely corrupt. No matter how glorious and powerful it was in the past, it has now become a rotten flesh that poisons the people. I must put an end to this entangled system once and for all."

"Whether it's you, Dachen, or anyone else who's corrupted you, or anyone who kills people indiscriminately and doesn't treat people as human beings."

As he said this, a red river of blood and fire rolled behind An Jing's head, transforming into a bloody star: "Master Li, you have to understand that the only way is to completely destroy all of this."

“Only then can there be a new life in the world.”

"I think this is the true [God's will]!"

Seeing An Jing's unshakable determination at this moment, the originally excited Instructor Li was stunned.

"Is this your purpose? What you believe is God's will?"

As he was about to die, he saw the blood-flame totem and the sword-wielding aura spreading behind An Jing's head, and finally realized something: "You are indeed born to be a member of the Divine Religion, but... are you so sure that you can succeed?"

"I don't have to be the one to achieve success, but I will definitely do it and be the first 'pioneer'."

After hearing An Jing's answer, Instructor Li gradually calmed down: "Are you really not afraid of death?"

"An Jing...you're not...you're not running away because you're afraid of death?"

An Jing did not answer this question.

Finally, he understood a little bit of An Jing's thoughts. Although it was completely incomprehensible, Instructor Li finally got some enlightenment.

He lowered his voice, lowered his head and murmured: "So this is the 'Son of God' that the Divine Religion really wants to select..."

"I see. It turns out I have always understood it wrong..."

With his mind a little hazy, Instructor Li began to recite the hymn of the Divine Will Sect in a low voice: "Great is the creation of this body by the Heaven, but the people of the world are ignorant and do not know how to be grateful."

"Where does life and death lead to? Only my path is the beacon."

"The one who leads me is the God. The one who walks the way of the God is the Heaven. The one who understands the will of the universe is the Saint."

"So, this is what 'God' means..."
