Chapter 625: The Meaning of Existence

Translator: 549690339

Amidst the maniacal laughter, a person in the form of a soul rose from the ground, the murderous aura around him much stronger than any malicious ghost Jiang Beiran had ever seen.

“Hahahahaha! Pei Xin…” The fiend’s laughter came to an abrupt halt. It looked at Jiang Beiran with its blood-red eyes and asked,'”‘ Who are you?!”

Jiang Beiran smiled back at the fiend spirit’s astonished expression.

How should he answer this? I’m just passing by? Or should I accompany my little brother to take a look?

In midair, the fiend spirit had already started to grow irritable, pointing at Jiang Beiran and bellowing, “”How is that possible? You were never in the prophecy! You shouldn’t be here, and you can’t be here!”

Jiang Beiran watched as the fiend spirit gradually became hysterical. Just as he was thinking about how to properly communicate with him, he saw the fiend spirit swoop down towards Little Seven.

“Wait!”

Jiang Beiran used his spiritual power to control the fiend spirit in midair.

“Let’s talk things out. It’s not good to possess someone in front of me, right?”

The fiend soul that was firmly blocked once again became agitated. It shouldn’t be like this! It shouldn’t be like this!”

With a howl, the fiend soul turned into a cloud of red mist and dissipated into the air.

“Ah, just this?”

Jiang Beiran did not know if he should say that the fiend spirit was weak mentally, or that he was too weak to handle pressure. If he had a mental breakdown after a small accident, how could he do anything big?

Little Seven, who had been in a daze the entire time, finally recovered and asked carefully, “”Big Brother Wang…What was that just now?”

“It’s not important. Continue with your work.”

Unlike Jiang Beiran’s reaction when he saw the fiend soul, Little Seven felt his soul tremble the moment he saw the fiend soul. If it wasn’t for Big Brother Wang beside him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

It was an indescribable fear, just like the moment when a hunter caught a prey.

He was so desperate that he couldn’t even scream.

Especially when the fiend soul charged towards him, Little Seven felt his guts split. If it wasn’t for Big Brother Wang stopping the fiend soul in time, he would have fainted.

Hearing Brother Wang’s casual reply, the fear in Little Seven’s heart dissipated and she walked towards the center of the palace.

Jiang Beiran, on the other hand, felt that it wasn’t itchy even if there were too many of them. Since he had already been caught in the curls, and the System didn’t have a choice, he would just have to do it to the end and help Little Seven get through this crisis.

As for the fiend spirit, Jiang Beiran could only guess that he definitely had bad intentions towards Little Seven. However, he also felt that he shouldn’t have lured Little Seven here.

The reason was very simple. If he really wanted to lure Little Seven over, why would he set up so many complicated ” checkpoints “? He had to understand array formations and…

“Hmm?”

At the thought of this, Jiang Beiran suddenly realized a serious problem.

‘This…Could it be that I’m helping them grow by pulling them up?

Thinking about it this way, those ” checkpoints ” were obviously set up to let Little Seven discover this place later. According to the normal plot, Little Seven should have awakened some memories when he landed on the island. At most, he would encounter the residents by chance. Then, the two of them tried their luck and found a mysterious disc, thus confirming that there was a place on the island that he had been to before.

At most, it would be a foreshadowing.

In the end, the moment he made a move, he wiped out all the plot that could have been played for 80 episodes. Whether it was cracking the location of the mysterious disc on Golden Cauldron Island or forcefully helping Little Seven withstand the mental attack.

It was equivalent to letting Little Seven come to this secret room in advance. [Oh no, I’m the main character and I’m dead!]

Jiang Beiran hadn’t expected this. He was too curious about the secrets of Golden Cauldron Island, which led him to consider Little Seven as one of the greatest weapons to crack the island. Now that the secret had been cracked a little, he had sunk too deep into it.

Now, the only thing that could comfort him was that he didn’t help Little Seven. He didn’t think that there was any danger in this matter. After analyzing all of this, he thought about what the fiend soul had said.

‘How is this possible? You weren’t in the prophecy!

According to the normal development of the plot, Little Seven should only come to this secret room in the late stages. Then this fiend soul’s level should be very high. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be worthy of being the main character’s opponent.

And his high level meant that the prophecy he believed in was also very valuable. At the very least, it should have been divined by a fortune teller of Gu Liang Ren’s level.

‘So my arrival disrupted the original development of this continent?’

With that thought in mind, Jiang Beiran understood why the Heavenly Axiom was targeting him.

He was treating him like a BUG.

‘*+! I don’t want to come here again!’

Jiang Beiran suddenly felt extremely wronged. He had been the successor of the country, but he had been dragged here for no apparent reason, and now the heavens were trying to kill him.

“Who did I offend?!”

‘F * ck, since the heavens tolerate me, then I’ll go against…Forget it, forget it. I was just joking.’

‘But that’s not right.. ‘

Jiang Beiran suddenly recalled Gu Liangren’s prophecy. It was obviously a foreshadowing of the Heavenly Axiom. Otherwise, why would he send Shi Fenglan to the Returning Heart Sect?

In other words, the Heavenly Dao had long known that he would come to this continent and had already made a series of preparations for his arrival..
