Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 257 The final conclusion

But Qi thought to himself, the previous grudges seemed to have not been settled yet, so shouldn't he ask what exactly happened?

Then, they discovered that their intentions were not good.

These people really wanted to kill her!

Is this okay? !

No, actually those people didn't want to kill her; they just wanted to settle things peacefully and asked Qi Jianxian to be lenient and let them go.

But who knew that Qi Jianxian was still holding a grudge and seemed determined to get to the bottom of it? That would be terrible.

Rather than waiting to be killed, it's better to fight to the death!

Thus, Qi Suowei was truly about to become a deity.

This was an accident.

Qi Suowei's story is rather bland; the above is a summary by Zhu Wuyao based on Qi Jianxian's narration.

Qi Suowei sighed and said to Zhu Wuyao:

"Why can't we all live in peace? Why must we fight and kill each other?"

Zhu Wuyao was also quite puzzled, and she echoed:

"Yes, I don't know what happened either."

Qi Suowei was close to becoming a deity, an achievement that almost no one could reach.

Everyone is waiting for the appearance of the Nascent Soul Realm.

If she successfully survives the tribulation, she can protect the human race for another thousand years. No matter what kind of barbaric lands, demon territories, evil cultivators, demonic paths, or strange creatures in the wasteland, none of them will dare to invade, and she can even wipe them out.

If she joins a certain sect, she can reshuffle the power structure of the human race.

She was just one step away from becoming the supreme ruler of all beings.

Qi Suowei showed little interest in this matter.

While manipulating power and influence might be somewhat interesting, she naturally assumed that she could reach the Divine Transformation Realm.

Since you're already number one, why do you need external accolades? Why do you need them to tell you, "Ah, you're number one"?

Do I not know in my heart whether I am the strongest person or not?

There's no need for them to go to such lengths.

Qi Suowei was in a peaceful state of mind.

But then she heard news of Silver Fox, who seemed to have been ambushed and was critically injured, now surrounded by danger.

I'm the best in the world, who dares to touch my fox!

Do you have a death wish or do you want to die?

Qi Suowei felt that her dignity had been challenged. If she couldn't even protect a fox, then all her years of training would have been in vain.

Won't people be eyeing her things every day from now on?

With this simple and unpretentious thought in mind, Qi Suowei decided to fish the fox out.

Then, I realized I'd been tricked.

No one knew her better than him; she was so impetuous, straightforward, and fearless. She would come.

At first, Qi Suowei wasn't too panicked, because no matter what, he had the tribulation lightning of the Nascent Soul Realm to back him up.

If she can't beat them, she'll let the lightning strike.

But she soon discovered that the matter was tricky.

It seems that the ultimate goal of the demon race is to make her undergo tribulation amidst the myriad forms of humanity.

In the primitive era, Heaven did not favor humanity.

The Moon-Bound Pavilion had a highly skilled cultivator who gathered the strength of many cultivators to use human power to explore destiny and manipulate the heavens, attempting to act on behalf of the heavens. In the end, at the cost of almost the entire Sun-Chasing Forest and the Moon-Bound Pavilion, they severed the rising fortune of the demon race.

From then on, the demon race declined, and the human race rose.

After entering the realm of sentient beings, Qi Suowei soon discovered that this place was related to the fate of the demon race.

However, it has never truly aligned itself with the Way of Heaven.

If she survives the tribulation here, the demon race's fortune will take the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage as an opportunity to survive the tribulation together with her, and then truly gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao and begin to operate.

Qi Suowei, however, is out of danger.

Perhaps with the power of a god, he could suppress the demon race and ensure the prosperity of the human race.

But soon, she discovered something else.

Just because the human race has a Nascent Soul cultivator like her doesn't mean the demon race doesn't!

Silver Fox possesses exceptional talent, and her cultivation level is almost on par with hers.

All that's missing is a bit of luck.

At that time, she and the Silver Fox could restrain each other, but when the demon race's fortunes are restored, war will inevitably break out, and won't it be the mortals who suffer?

Qi Suowei quickly came up with a new method—

If I eliminate the fox, won't I be the only Nascent Soul cultivator left in the world?

But she couldn't find it.

Qi Suowei decided to kill them one by one, and then discovered that the cycle of life had restarted.

After considering it, she realized that Silver Fox's plan was indeed brilliant.

As long as she enters, neither the human nor the demon race will have a Nascent Soul Realm expert; as long as she wants to leave, both the human and demon races will each have a Nascent Soul Realm expert.

No matter how you look at it, Silver Fox did a pretty good job as the king of the demon race.

He used his emotions to his advantage, taking advantage of Qi Suowei's frivolousness and impetuosity, and single-handedly restrained the rise of the human race, thus averting a potential disaster from the demon race.

Qi Suowei thought about it and decided that it would be better if everyone had a Nascent Soul Realm.

Armed with a sharp blade, the murderous intention arises.

Just as the Silver Fox couldn't believe that after becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, she wouldn't become a king and destroy the demon race, she also couldn't believe that the cunning fox wouldn't have ulterior motives after entering the Nascent Soul realm.

After trying for two or three hundred years, Qi Suowei still couldn't find a way to achieve the best of both worlds.

She became a Nascent Soul cultivator precisely to preserve the peace of the cultivation world.

Since she exists among all living beings, she can still achieve the same goal.

so be it.

Zhu Wuyao listened, completely stunned.

As expected of a sword immortal, he can readily recall ancient secrets.

She knew that Feidu Lake could not possibly only have the effect of healing and praying, but she never expected that it would actually be the fortune accumulated by the demon race over thousands of years.

"So, the phrases 'When thunder falls from the heavens' and 'Never leave your hometown' are the result of your confrontation?"

Zhu Wuyao guessed that this was the product of the confrontation between Qi Suowei and Silver Fox.

But until then, she had been guessing wrong.

Thinking that Silver Fox was hindering Qi Suowei from entering the Nascent Soul Realm and wanted her to stay here, Silver Fox hoped that the people in Biyi City would "not leave their hometown"; while Qi Suowei wanted to enter the Nascent Soul Realm and looked forward to "heavenly lightning falling from the nine heavens".

Unexpectedly, those who should have been longing for their hometown were instead hoping for a thunderbolt to strike them.

Those who should be soaring through the heavens are instead trapped in cages.

Seeing Qi Suowei nod, Zhu Wuyao clapped his hands and sighed:

"It was truly a passionate and exhilarating love story."

Before this, she really hadn't thought that Qi Jianxian would actually like Silver Fox.

What was even more unexpected was that such scheming and checks and balances were involved. One party harbored ill intentions, while the other wanted to eliminate the threat to the end. The final reconciliation was to see who could outlast whom.

Wonderful, really wonderful.

Qi Suowei didn't catch the teasing in her voice. She waved her hand and said:

"Time is the sharpest sword. Eight hundred years have passed, and my youthful vigor has vanished. In my youth, I was very proud of myself and sang triumphantly. I felt that there was no mountain in the sky or on the ground that could stop me and nothing was impossible for me."

"But now I feel inexplicably tired."

"When I reached the summit after 374 years, I never imagined that it would be the peak."

"When I was young, I picked up a fox that accompanied me all over the world; but it was also this same fox that made me unable to move an inch."

"We still fell for his trick."

"Perhaps at the beginning, the fox sensed that I wanted to kill him and became wary. For eight hundred years, I have not been able to find his fox tail and have never seen him. Later, I became too lazy to bother with him."

Finally, Qi Suowei concluded:

"So be it."

All the glory and disappointment, the triumphs and triumphs, have vanished, and the final verdict is here.

So be it.
