Chapter 659 - 666: I Can Take You to Ascend

’If the Heavenly Dao were truly as callous as he claims, his wisp of a soul would have vanished long ago.’

After all, this was a matter of hundreds of thousands of years, not just a few thousand or tens of thousands.

’The Heavenly Dao allowed him to live, allowed him to grow stronger. Isn’t that a form of care in its own way?’

’Besides, with countless living beings in this world, how could the Heavenly Dao possibly pay attention to every single one?’

’Survival of the fittest has always been the law of the world, and it’s an unavoidable reality in the Cultivation World.’

Perhaps hearing this for the first time, Xuan Yan was visibly stunned.

For a moment, he seemed to have his doubts, but he quickly became resolute again.

"Are you trying to brainwash me? Sorry, but I’m not that stupid!"

Xuan Yan sneered, "I survived all on my own!"

"I will destroy this world, no matter what you say. You can’t change that outcome!"

After all, this belief had sustained him for hundreds of thousands of years. It couldn’t possibly be shaken by a few words from Song Wanning.

"Is that so?"

Song Wanning gave a scornful laugh. "You think you can destroy the world with that little bit of power you have?"

"How ridiculous!"

Her expression darkened. "Next, let me show you just how powerful this world truly is!"

Song Wanning brought forth a memory fragment from her Sea of Consciousness.

As her Immortal Qi circulated, the surrounding environment instantly changed, as if they had been transported into the memory itself.

Xuan Yan was shocked. He never imagined that Song Wanning could still mobilize her energy.

’Has she been pretending this whole time?’

Xuan Yan’s gaze instantly deepened. He had truly underestimated this woman. Not only was her Cultivation profound, but her mind was also incredibly cunning!

It was enough to leave him speechless.

But soon, his attention was completely captivated by the memory fragment before him.

Several figures appeared, standing on the highest cliff, and then an unimaginable battle erupted.

They fought an earth-shattering battle. With a casual wave of their hands, the world below would tremble and quake.

Especially the final explosion.

The massive impact struck the very depths of one’s soul.

Even for a Demon who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, he had never seen such a breathtaking scene.

The world before him seemed to lose all color.

He watched the agonizing wails of living beings, watched the Heavenly Gods and Demon Gods fall.

He watched mountains and seas overturn, watched the sun and moon crumble, watched the world wither and break into countless pieces.

Xuan Yan stared blankly at the scene, his mind filled with nothing but shock.

Even after the memory fragment dissipated, he continued to stare blankly, unable to recover for a long time.

Just as it had been for Song Wanning the first time she saw it, the scene was simply too overwhelming.

Even after seeing it several times, Song Wanning was still shaken by the memory.

Time slowly passed. Xuan Yan finally recovered from his shock and asked with a complicated expression, "That scene just now was..."

"That was the great war from Ancient Times. Invaders from beyond the heavens attacked the Demon God, and they ultimately perished together, causing the entire world to shatter."

Song Wanning sighed softly, her eyes filled with regret.

"As you saw, the Heavenly Dao was severely wounded in that war. It could barely take care of itself, so how could it look after every one of its children?"

"But you should have seen it. Even at great risk, it was willing to break the rules for the Demon God, just to save her..."

"The Heavenly Dao has always been trying to protect its children. It’s just that many things in this world are predestined. But more than the protection of the Heavenly Dao, I believe that man can triumph over fate."

At this, Song Wanning suddenly smiled. "Perhaps you think it’s easy for me to say, but what I’ve experienced in the past is not so different from you!"

She then showed Xuan Yan her own experiences of being betrayed by her disciple and fiancé.

In her eyes, Xuan Yan might just be the key to repairing the two worlds. A Demon that could survive for hundreds of thousands of years was not normal in the first place.

Xuan Yan had induced Song Que to raise monsters, causing great harm to living beings.

His sins were truly heavy.

But if he could turn from darkness to light and help her restore the Heavenly Dao, perhaps his merits could offset his sins.

Therefore, rather than a mutually destructive outcome, she hoped they could work together.

"Do you see? I have experienced the same pain as you!"

"But I still didn’t give up, because I believe that my destiny has always been in my own hands."

"And the fact that I am now protected by the Heavenly Dao is because my gradual efforts finally earned its recognition, allowing me to walk further and further down this path of restoration."

Song Wanning looked at Xuan Yan with a fervent gaze. "As for your absurd talk of world destruction, do you see how ridiculous it is now?"

’Even the war of the Heavenly Gods back then couldn’t destroy this world, and Xuan Yan thinks he can?’

’It’s a fool’s dream.’

Song Wanning ruthlessly shattered Xuan Yan’s fantasy, laying the naked reality bare before him.

Xuan Yan looked dazed, Song Wanning’s words echoing in his ears.

’So it wasn’t just him who had been betrayed.’

’But Song Wanning chose to become strong and self-reliant, while he chose to give up on himself...’

’He had completely given up, and that’s why those thoughts of world destruction emerged.’

’He couldn’t vent his anger on his enemies, so he redirected it toward the Heavenly Dao.’

’Wasn’t that the action of a coward?’

At this moment, Xuan Yan’s conviction began to waver.

But he was still unwilling to yield, remaining silent.

However, Song Wanning’s next words shook him to his core.

"Xuan Yan, do you want revenge?"

"Are you really willing to watch those people lord it over everyone in the Immortal Realm, while you remain buried here for eternity, never to see the light of day?"

"Are you truly content with that?"

Song Wanning’s voice was like a magic spell, directly shattering the obsession buried in the deepest part of Xuan Yan’s heart.

’How could he not want revenge?’

’He thought about revenge every single moment.’

"If you want revenge, then help me restore the world!"

"And then I’ll take you with me when I ascend, how about it?"

"We’ll go to the Immortal Realm together, find those people together, and kill them with our own hands, how about it?!"

Her eyes shone, filled with a soaring will to fight.

Her confident and hopeful appearance was like a ray of light, shining directly into Xuan Yan’s heart.

"Are you serious?"

Xuan Yan’s heart began to race. ’Can I really ascend with Song Wanning?’

’Can I really get revenge on those people?’

Just the thought of this possibility made the Demonic Qi around Xuan Yan surge uncontrollably.

His eyes turned blood-red, and a warmth seemed to well up in their corners.

Seeing his reaction, Song Wanning felt a surge of sympathy.

She nodded and promised solemnly, "I would never lie to you. As long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely take you with me when I ascend!"

"From now on, your enemies are my enemies!"

"We will have our revenge together!!"

From the very beginning, Song Wanning had never lied to him.

And she never would!!!!
