I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 2038
Chapter 2038: Beings Resented by the Heavenly Dao
“Hey, Little Xie, you said there are beings who are lucky in everything they do; are there beings on the opposite end of the spectrum? For example, are there people who are constantly blighted by misfortune and can even bring misfortune to those around them?” An Lin asked.
Little Xie glanced at An Lin. “You’re talking about Shangguan Yi, right?”
An Lin: “… You’re so smart.”
Little Xie seemed to be getting to know him better and better.
“Shangguan Yi is indeed very special. In my awakened memories, I do recall a group of beings like her. They are known as beings resented by the Heavenly Dao,” Little Tian continued.
“Beings resented by the Heavenly Dao?” An Lin was a little surprised to hear this. “So the heavens really do resent some people?”
“Of course. There are many categories of beings resented by the Heavenly Dao. Some are too supremely talented, to the extent that even the heavens are envious toward them…” Little Xie explained.
“Aren’t you referring to me there?” An Lin interjected.
Little Xie rolled her eyes at him before continuing, “Some are beings whom the Heavenly Dao deem to be major threats to the stability of the Heavenly Dao if allowed to develop, so the Heavenly Dao wants to kill them as soon as possible. Some are beings who have already inflicted severe damage upon the Heavenly Dao, and they will be instantly wiped out. And then, there are some who have hurt the Heavenly Dao in their previous life, and even after their reincarnation, the Heavenly Dao still harbors resentment toward them.
“Shangguan Yi is quite special in that among the beings I’ve seen, she is the one who is most resented by the Heavenly Dao. She is constantly bearing the burden of ill-fortune, and even those around her share the burden. To be honest, I’m quite surprised that she has managed to live up to this point…” Little Xie’s brows were slightly furrowed.
“She has been extremely unfortunate ever since she was born, so she couldn’t have drawn resentment from the Heavenly Dao because of something she did in this life. Apparently, she is the reincarnation of the Ice Matriarch, so could it be that she did something to infuriate the Heavenly Dao back when she was the Ice Matriarch?” An Lin pinched his chin and speculated.
“You’ll have to ask her about that,” Little Xie replied indifferently.
An Lin pinched her cheeks. “You don’t know the answer?”
“I’m not a god, how am I supposed to know everything?!” Little Xie slapped An Lin’s hand away and glared at An Lin with a cold expression.
“But Little Xie, how do you know about beings that are blessed by the Heavenly Dao and resented by the Heavenly Dao?” An Lin appraised his sword spirit with curiosity.
Little Xie shook his head. “I only recalled this information after I met Little Hong Ling. I don’t know how, but I seem to have forgotten many things…”
An Lin was a little speechless upon hearing this. So his sword spirit was playing the memory-loss card now?
However, he had always been well aware that his sword spirit was very special. Just the fact that she could wound a Heavenly God without using heaven crushing true intent was a clear indication of how extraordinary she was.
“Alright, that’s enough talking. I’m going to return to the sword now.” Little Xie turned and prepared to transform into a streak of black light in order to return to the Evil-Slaying Sword. However, An Lin suddenly latched onto her wrist.
“What are you doing?” Little Xie raised her eyebrows.
“Little Xie… Didn’t you say that you’re suffering from memory loss? Let me examine your body, hehehe…” An Lin began to chuckle with excitement.
Slap!
Whoosh!
“Arrrgh…!”
An Lin wailed with anguish as his hand was slapped aside. Blood splattered through the air as the Evil Slaying Sword plunged into his waist again.
“Alright, I won’t examine your body then! Why did you stab me again?!” An Lin wore an expression of grief and indignation.
Little Xie couldn’t be bothered to respond to him, and she disappeared back into her Evil-Slaying Sword again.
An Lin heaved a faint sigh. He had learned many new things, but for some reason, he was even more confused. So even the heavens harbored emotions of love and resentment?
…
In the easternmost region of the Tai Chu Continent.
The Heavenly Light Goddess played around with the countless particles of light before her in an extremely bored manner.
“Sigh…”
“It’s all screwed up now…”
She shook her head as she poked the particles of light before her.
“Earth, why didn’t you stop those people from the Divine Source Continent? Why didn’t you kill them? Do you know how big a mistake you’ve committed?”
The soil in front of the Heavenly Light Goddess tremored as a vast, ethereal voice sounded from within.
“I already deployed the Heavenly Temperature God, but how was I supposed to know that An Lin would be able to detect the arrival of the Divine Source Continent beings? And how was I supposed to know that he would be able to get there and save them in time…
“I initially thought that it wouldn’t matter anyway if these pieces of trash joined An Lin, but how was I supposed to know that there would be a being so strongly blessed by the Heavenly Dao among them?!” The Heavenly Earth God was getting quite worked up as he spoke. He was clearly also finding it difficult to repress his farcical mood.
“Things are spiraling more and more out of our control.” The Heavenly Light Goddess sighed.
At this moment, a voice also sounded from the ball of blue liquid beside the Heavenly Light Goddess.
“After obtaining a being blessed by the Heavenly Dao, Nuwa would be able to further accelerate her mending of the heavens. If she manages to mend the power of dao, all of us will be rejected and kept out by the Tai Chu Continent…” The Heavenly Sea God said, “I suggest we launch the final attack immediately!”
“What do Life and Heaven say? Are they still unwilling to help?” the Heavenly Light Goddess asked.
“They’ve agreed to give us some help. They won’t appear in person, but all of the Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings and Heavenly Gods under their control can temporarily be transferred to us. However, we have to agree to a condition they proposed first,” the Heavenly Sea God replied.
“What’s their condition?!” The Heavenly Light Goddess was struggling to hide her excitement.
The soil in front of the Heavenly Light Goddess also began to tremor violently.
“I can accept any condition as long as it’s not too absurd!” the Heavenly Earth God said in a determined voice.
The two paramount Heavenly Gods knew that what they lacked the most now was troops. If they had sufficient troops, all they would have to do was to hold off the exceptionally powerful beings like An Lin while their troops laid waste to the human race.
The Heavenly Sea God hesitated momentarily before replying, “Their condition is that we must kill An Lin at all cost within ten days of the commencement of the battle. Otherwise, they will immediately withdraw their troops.”
Both of the paramount Heavenly Gods were a little stunned to hear this.
“Damn it… I didn’t think that these two would be so cruel…” The Heavenly Light Goddess gritted her teeth.
The Heavenly Earth God and Heavenly Sea God both fell silent.
“An Lin is not a human, so we don’t necessarily have to kill him…” the Heavenly Earth God mused.
“But An Lin will most definitely disrupt our plan, so he must die. The only thing is that a time limit of ten days is not enough to make thorough preparations.” The Heavenly Sea God sighed. “However, this should be the best choice available to us…”
The Heavenly Light Goddess and Heavenly Earth God remained silent. They were also aware that this was the best course of action.
“Sea… Do you have the confidence to kill An Lin?” the Heavenly Light Goddess asked.
“Me? Of course not! I don’t think I could kill him even when fully fit, let alone in my current state.” The Heavenly Sea God immediately cowered.
The Heavenly Earth God offered his opinion, “Don’t forget that An Lin is Darkness. If we want to defeat him, it would be best to deploy two paramount Heavenly Gods at once!”
“How about this? Light, you go and restrict the Heaven Crushing Sect, while Earth and I set a trap to kill An Lin?” the Heavenly Sea God suggested.
“I was thinking the same thing.” The Heavenly Earth God expressed his approval.
“Alright, then it’s settled. We agree to the condition proposed by Life and Heaven…” A determined expression appeared on the Heavenly Light Goddess’ face as she made the final decision. “We will now activate the doomsday mode and annihilate the human race!”
