Destiny is ashes

Chapter 212 Covenant (23)

"This is a drop of my 'Emperor's Blood'."

You Ruhui said in an obviously weak but cheerful tone: "No matter what, I know your real trump card... and even if you know the secret of the Dragon Jade I possess, you have no way to counter it, and you may even be in danger."

"You saved my life and Aunt Huai's life, but I let you suffer. This is not fair."

She said, "I can swear to the heavens and to this blood that I will never reveal your ability to travel through the void to anyone else, and I will never expose your true magical power."

"With this blood, I can communicate with you remotely and grant you magical powers, just like I did before with the power of the dragon jade."

You Ruhui said calmly: "If you need anything, you can contact me in advance."

"I will be ready to help you when you need me."

"This……"

An Jing couldn't say that he didn't need it, so he raised his hand and caught the drop of 'Emperor's Blood'.

An Jing could sense that the blood seemed to want to merge into his body and become a part of him. Then, just as You Ruhui had said, it would almost permanently connect him and You Ruhui, allowing You Ruhui to communicate with him across the air and even grant him magical powers.

This ability... is very similar to the ability he might have to connect with Canglizu.

Destiny and companion stars.

The emperor’s blood and the ordination.

Between the two...

Frowning, An Jing raised his eyes and looked at You Ruhui, saying in a deep voice: "This is too much - even though we have helped each other a lot, and even saved your life a few times... but if you entrust this kind of thing to me, I dare not accept it rashly."

"If we want to cooperate in the future, this is almost like a 'proton', which will hinder trust."

He confessed: "After all, I will not, ever, give my 'proton' to anyone."

You Ruhui didn't quite agree with An Jing's statement: "For you, maybe. But for me, this is a way for me to show my sincerity."

“Not to mention…” At this point, You Ruhui sighed. She stared at the floating blood droplets and whispered, “I can’t guarantee that I won’t change.”

"What will I be like in the future? Will I still have the pure...original intention like now?"

"Will I be changed? Will I give up revenge? Will I... choose to betray myself who is now willing to swear that I will not betray you?"

"I don't know either. So, I think you should be the witness."

She smiled and said, "If I stray from this path, if I betray you, then, I will let you teach me a lesson."

"It can't kill me, but it can make me feel heartbroken and seriously hurt my vitality."

This is what You Ruhui really thinks.

At first, An Jing's fate seemed to her to be just a "strange fate". But now, it seems to be a "divine fate" that has not yet fully awakened.

Only a divine destiny can possess such an extraordinary supernatural power as traveling through the void, which is in line with the essence of the Tao!
A god with unlimited potential, who saved me, is a decent person, and also takes it as his mission to resist Dachen... In this case, the other party is obviously my natural ally.

In the distant past, You Ruhui might have had a bit of the temper of a princess from a royal family, and thought that it would be natural for anyone to form an alliance with her and make friends with her.

But after going through so much, You Ruhui understood that no one would be nice to him for no reason.

If you want to become a stable ally, you must demonstrate your value and become someone worthy of the other party's trust.

In order to achieve your goal, you have to pay a price.

You Ruhui, who was no longer Princess Xuan Mingjing of Dachen, made her own choice.

"I understand."

An Jing nodded slightly, acknowledging the other party's determination.

He stretched out his hand and grasped the imperial blood that contained the dragon jade... or in other words, the power of the 'Heart of Heaven and Earth'.

When An Jing opened his hands again, the emperor's blood disappeared, and in his sea of ​​consciousness, a crystal blood bead appeared around the hilt of the Fuxie sword.

"Thank you." Seeing An Jing accept it, You Ruhui was relieved.

This proves that An Jing is willing to trust her and form an alliance with her.

At this point, they both knew each other's cards, and she could finally...

Choose to believe. “I’m always willing to believe in other people.”

Looking up, An Jing looked at You Ruhui who seemed much more relaxed. He did not immediately think about the use of the emperor's blood, just as he did not care much about the function and essence of the Tianxuan Zhen Fu.

An Jing knew very well that there were some things that were meaningless to worry about now.

So he only focused on the present: "The problems between us have been solved, but there are still many problems on Huaixu's side."

"If nothing else, Aunt Huai only has a dozen days left to live."

"This...I can't do anything about it."

In this regard, You Ruhui looked at Aunt Huai, and she looked sad: "I wanted to find another Yin point in the earth vein, and then persuade Aunt Huai to transfer the power of fate to herself. As long as she can break through the inner breath realm, the old lady can probably live another ten years."

"But... Aunt Huai has already made up her mind to die. She has no interest in living in this world. I think I can only respect her."

"That's not it." An Jing shook his head: "What I mean is, do you think that a 'life-holder' of Aunt Huai's level would not be recorded by the Tianyi Demon Cult?"

"Although we have now gotten rid of the entanglement between Dachen and the Heavenly Demon, the Heavenly Will Demon Cult has not yet been cut off. You Ruhui, think carefully. If I had not existed, and you had fled all the way to Kanming City, and had not confronted the people who wanted to meet you, but were taken in by Aunt Huai, then all the way to the end, it must have been Aunt Huai who changed your fate."

"At the same time, you will also come into the sight of the Tianyi Demon Cult. If nothing unexpected happens, you will become connected with the Demon Cult and then be taken away by them, becoming an opportunity for them to destroy the order of Dachen."

"Although Aunt Huai is indeed a good person, her existence is a tributary representing the Tianyi Demon Cult."

An Jing's words made You Ruhui react quickly. She opened her eyes wide, and obviously figured it out: "Yes, that's right! Could it be that my original destiny was to have a bumpy journey and eventually join the Tianyi Demon Sect?!"

"No. It's just a choice."

At this moment, it was An Jing who saw it most clearly: "And there are many choices."

He now understood something: "He was captured by Dachen, captured by the True Demon Cult, and taken away by the Heavenly Will Demon Cult. Or, in other words, he followed the person who picked you up back to Chenli according to your father's plan."

“These are all options.”

“Destiny is a series of choices. When you choose a fork in the road, you will enter a different path… Sometimes, if you are willing, you can choose any one of A, B, C, or D to go on.”

"But if you don't want to... you can choose neither. Just like you don't have to choose between Dachen and the Demon Sect's Heavenly Demon."

Instead of choosing A, B, C, and D, choose one, two, three, and four.

Instead, choose Wu, choose five.

Choose and create new options yourself.

"I see."

An Jing muttered to himself at this moment: "Only in this way can the feedback of the Seven Evil Fates reach its maximum... So that's how it is, this is the real 'overturning everything', I understand, all the previous Seven Evil Fates may have gone the wrong way..."

“It is not necessary to reject, resist or overturn what already exists.”

"It's about choosing the destiny you create and creating something new."

Looking up at You Ruhui, An Jing didn't expect the other party to understand this right away. For ordinary people, the direction of fate is unpredictable, because no matter which option you choose, even if you create a new option, it is probably destiny.

But the most important thing is to choose yourself.

This may be the reason why those warriors with special fates, after becoming powerful, choose to come out into the world to create their own country and their own sect.

Despite their fate, they still want to live their own lives.

"We don't need to care about Aunt Huai's fate. She actually sees things more clearly than we do and knows better what she wants."

After realizing this, An Jing laughed: "Even if she only has a dozen days to live, I think Aunt Huai will definitely make the choice she wants."

"So what can we do now?"

You Ruhui was a little bit unable to calm down: "According to what you said, we can only stay in this world for three days... Three days and do nothing?"

"I think I can still help you a little."

"Indeed." An Jing nodded slightly: "Besides, I'm afraid it has to be you."

You Ruhui asked curiously, "Huh? What's going on? Is there anything in this world that I must do?"

"Look at the house."
