680 Something’s Wrong (2)
Xi wore a puzzled expression. Was that all?
She still retained all her memories, and there had indeed been a strange sensation just moments ago. But what kind of method was this?
Ao Sihai smiled and spoke, “Boss, I’ll head back now. I need you to see me off.”
Presently at the diamond level, Ao Sihai couldn’t navigate the Chaos. If it weren’t for Lin Feng’s Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram nearby, he and Xi would likely have been erased by the chaotic rules upon entering the Chaos.
Lin Feng nodded, “Let’s go together. There seem to be changes on the God Race side. I also want to explore this part of history.”
Subsequently, everyone vanished. Ao Sihai reappeared at the gathering of the hundred races, but no one around sensed anything unusual.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng and Xi floated in the air, unseen by anyone.
Observing the familiar figures below, Xi noticed that these people seemed to have forgotten her. This fueled her curiosity about Lin Feng’s mysterious abilities.
As for her own relatives forgetting her, she felt no resentment.
As the daughter of a prominent family, she was either a cherished gem or a mere tool for the family’s strategic alliances.
Now that no one remembered her, she felt a newfound lightness.
However, she found Lin Feng’s methods quite frightening.
If one day, I leave him, will he make me forget as well? Xi wondered silently.
While Xi contemplated, Lin Feng transported her again, appearing in the sky above the divine level.
At this point, the contradictions regarding the Time Dao among the divine levels had intensified. Landry, however, disregarded the opposition, focusing solely on researching how to impose limitations on the divine level’s lifespan.
Lin Feng observed Landry’s single-minded pursuit of the Great Dao, inwardly amused. To others, he seemed mad, but in truth, he was just a fervent seeker.
However, even Landry, currently a bit concerned about others’ opinions, faced confusion when met with resistance. He questioned whether his actions were correct.
It was only when Wa found Landry that she spoke with gravity, “What you’re doing is right. At least, I think it’s right. The meaning of life’s existence—what it truly is—I’ve been contemplating. I used to believe pursuing one’s interests was enough, but as time passed, I realized it wasn’t.”
“Because when life has no temporal restrictions, even the most interesting things eventually become mundane. Due to life’s boundlessness, most of our time is spent in mediocrity. Only by adding an endpoint to life will people feel urgency and become active.”
“So, go ahead, Landry. I believe in you,” Wa said, smiling.
Landry, looking at his idol, was filled with gratitude and excitement. His earlier confusion dissipated.
For the present God Race, refining the worldly Dao was akin to feeling one’s way across a river of uncertainty. Any misstep could have profound effects on future generations. This was something they, as a civilized race, understood.
Therefore, the God Race now treaded carefully in their Dao attainment.
Landry, in particular, faced opposition, causing him to question the validity of his actions.
However, his idol, Wa, had clarified things for him. Life needed constraints for its meaning to shine through. Thus, Landry grew more resolute in his pursuit.
Lin Feng observed the scene thoughtfully.
“The former God Race, without the limits of lifespan, those divine levels were true gods. However, Wa’s words make sense. If gods have no constraints, would there be a purpose for a god idly living without urgency?” Lin Feng murmured to himself.
Wa was indeed a qualified pioneer but also a ruthless leader. She even encouraged Landry to impose restrictions on both her and everyone’s lifespan.
Xi, witnessing the scene, didn’t fully understand but remembered Wa’s words.
Meanwhile, Zhong Ya’s side grew increasingly restless, especially with a figure named Dijun by her side, incessantly urging Zhong Ya to pressure Landry.
“Zhong Ya, if Landry succeeds, we’ll all have limited lifespans. Won’t we age and die? We can’t let him do this; it will have too great an impact on the future. We must stop him!” Dijun declared emphatically.
Zhong Ya remained silent, deep in thought. But Dijun could sense her dissatisfaction with Landry’s actions.
Dijun continued, “And Wa, she doesn’t care about Landry. If Landry succeeds, she will also be restricted. I think Wa is very unsuitable to be the leader. You, Zhong Ya, should be the leader!”
When Zhong Ya heard this, she immediately looked at Dijun coldly.
Dijun’s face turned pale, hurriedly apologizing, “I spoke out of turn. I’m sorry.”
“Hmph, I’ll pretend I never heard your words. If you dare to speak nonsense again, don’t blame me for telling others. At that time, the entire clan will expel and kill you!” Zhong Ya declared coldly.
Dijun, hearing this, apologized profusely. However, after Zhong Ya left, he sneered inwardly.
By planting a seed in Zhong Ya’s heart, it would slowly take root and grow. One day, it would completely influence Zhong Ya.
Observing from the void, Lin Feng paid little attention to it.
