I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 264 Two Paths

"God? Rongrong, you can't just say things like that!"

Seeing that the two did not believe her, Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with a sly look. With light steps and a flash of movement, she arrived behind Ning Fengzhi and put a hand on his shoulder. She was so fast that even Ning Fengzhi did not have time to turn around.

Ning Rongrong pretended to be on the verge of tears and said, "Does Dad think his daughter is so immature?"

"In that case, your daughter will not get in your father's way here!"

"Rongrong!"

Ning Fengzhi reached out to grab the arm on his shoulder, but missed.

"Grandpa Jian, look at my dad, he despises me!"

Looking again, Ning Rongrong had thrown herself back into Sword Douluo's arms.

But Sword Douluo couldn't care less about joking around at this moment and hurriedly asked, "Rongrong, what exactly happened?"

Ning Rongrong raised her pretty face and said, "I've already told you, this is all thanks to the gods!"

"Rongrong, tell Daddy about this matter concerning the 'God'!"

When the topic of gods came up again, Ning Fengzhi's face was filled with caution, because gods truly transcended the power of the mortal world and could genuinely influence the rise and fall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even if there was only a slight possibility that it was true, it had to be treated with utmost care.

However, as far as he knew, there was only one god on this continent, and that was the Angel God, whose authenticity was unknown, who was worshipped by the Spirit Hall.

"The deity approached me when we were planning to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

"He said I have good talent and am suitable to be a stepping stone or a follower for the son he has chosen!"

"At first, I didn't believe it either, until He gave me a self-created soul skill and even transformed my martial soul into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then I believed what He said!"

"Now that I have met the Son of God, I have returned to discuss with you whether it is better to become a stepping stone or a follower!"

Upon hearing the name "Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda," Ning Fengzhi quickly stepped forward, looking at Ning Rongrong with some nervousness, and said:
"Rongrong, quick, quickly summon your martial spirit and show it to Daddy!"

"Ok!"

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had been tricked, Ning Rongrong did not hesitate and immediately summoned her martial soul.

"Eight layers and eight colors, it truly is the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"Good, good! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has hope for a revival!"

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's excited expression, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but pour cold water on him.

"Father, to be honest, the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda doesn't belong to me yet. As long as the gods are willing, they can take it back at any time!"

"Of course, if we make a choice and steadfastly implement it, we can gain even more!"

Ning Fengzhi remained silent, and Sword Douluo kept quiet. For them, revitalizing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a good thing, but if the price was Ning Rongrong's future, it would make their decision difficult.

Finally, Ning Fengzhi broke the silence and asked:
"Can you tell Dad the difference between those two options?"

Ning Rongrong was overjoyed, because the moment Ning Fengzhi spoke, it meant that he would definitely make a choice, and soon he would be openly and legitimately possessed by his master!

However, she still pretended to look gloomy and said, "The first choice is to become a stepping stone for the God's son. If I choose this path, I will be taught some martial arts that are most suitable for me by the God, just like other stepping stones. That is, what we call self-created soul skills!"

"In return, these martial arts techniques can be passed on to the sects behind us who are stepping stones, enough to ensure that these sects will prosper for the next ten thousand years!"

"And we will most likely perish at the hands of the divine child. After all, the divine child's talent is something even the gods envy, which is why he was sent down to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations." "According to the gods, there are not many positions left in the divine realm. He wants His son to experience enough hardships in the mortal realm, so that the divine child can constantly break through his own limits and then create his own divine position step by step!"

"After observing the situation, He found that the divine child's life in the mortal realm was too smooth sailing, so He forcibly intervened. However, according to the rules of the divine realm, He could not intervene too frequently, so He thought of finding some stepping stones..."

"A talent that even the gods would envy?"

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a while, then asked in confusion, "Since he has such talent, becoming a god should be easy, right? If that's the case, why make the divine child go through so many hardships?"

Ning Rongrong explained, "Dad, even gods are divided into different ranks. The gods hope that their children can become beings like the God-King!"

"I see!"

Ning Fengzhi somewhat understood a father's thoughts, just as he hoped Ning Rongrong could surpass him, which was why he let her leave the sect to gain experience outside.

"Then, what's the second option?"

"The second option is to become a follower of the Son of God, swearing eternal loyalty and following him in life and death!"

Ning Rongrong said in a heavy tone, "This path is another choice left to me by the gods."

"According to the deity, because there are not many vacancies left in the divine realm, the divine realm is in an uproar over this matter, and the situation is very turbulent."

"To prevent the Divine Child from having no subordinates after ascending to the God Realm, and also to prevent the Divine Child from gaining too much influence in the God Realm!"

"Therefore, the gods specially sought out some talented individuals and bestowed upon them martial arts elixirs to help them grow!"

"Let them ascend to the divine realm together with the divine son after he becomes a god, and become his divine servants! They will be able to live forever and continue to serve the divine son in the divine realm!"

"Of course, in order to avoid affecting the growth of the divine child, we cannot give the divine child too much help!"

"My martial spirit is thanks to the elixir bestowed by the God. If the God Child becomes a god, He can further enhance my martial spirit and make it the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"However, this is my own path, and its future help to the sect is destined to be minimal."

"But if I don't make any choices, the God will take back everything He has given me and erase my memories!"

"But no matter what choice I make, you must not tell anyone about this, and you must not tell the Divine Child, otherwise my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will surely face annihilation!"

Ning Rongrong looked at Ning Fengzhi with almost red eyes, afraid of hearing a single word of dissent from him.

"Don't worry, Rongrong, Daddy promises that once we leave the palace, I will not reveal a single word to anyone!"

If it weren't for the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, Ning Fengzhi would never have believed this claim, but now he has no choice but to believe it!
Aside from gods, he couldn't think of anything that could evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul! This was something his ancestors had pursued for generations!

It was precisely for this reason that Xiao Wuji took out several drops of his heart's blood, allowing Ning Rongrong to complete an evolution.

"Rongrong, what are your thoughts on these two choices?" Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Sword Douluo threw the question back at her. He would support whatever she chose, but Ning Fengzhi might not be so sure. He knew Ning Fengzhi was a businessman, and businessmen are profit-driven!
Ning Rongrong glanced gratefully at Sword Douluo, while Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a wry smile. At this moment, he understood what Sword Douluo meant, but since things had come to this point, he couldn't say anything more!

Ning Rongrong pondered for a moment and said, "If I could, I would prefer to choose the second path."

"What the gods have given me is not for me to share, but what the divine child has given me is not necessarily for me to share!"

"The gods cannot frequently intervene in human affairs, but once the divine child becomes a god, that may not be the case!"

"Furthermore, if possible, I would like to take my relationship with the Divine Child to the next level!!"
