Chapter 986: No More Successors if the Successor Died?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
An Jiuyue was silent.
There were so many books. It would be a cold day in hell by the ti she finished reading all of them. Could she opt out of becoming the High Priest Demon Heart?
It was basically a scam!
The High Priest Demon Heart noticed that both of them were silent and said, “Since you rember what happened back then, you should know what’s special about you, right?”
“Special? I don’t know.”
An Jiuyue shook her head. She did not know what was special about her. She was just a human.
“What’s so special about ? Please tell , High Priest.”
“You can rember events from your birth. This is the intelligence that the heavens have unlocked for you. You can even split your soul into two to live in two bodies. You’re the only one in the world who can do this,” the High Priest said.
“Back then, the various major clans on Wulong Mountain discovered your uniqueness and wanted to kidnap you to raise you as a weapon. It was and Brother An Tu who worked together to stop it.”
With one soul divided into two bodies, if nurtured properly, one could be in the light while the other was in the dark, sharing thoughts and feelings. How many wished for sothing like this in vain?
Hence, the ambitious people of Wulong Mountain harbored delusional desires.
“I used my demonic energy to single-handedly kill 77 clans in exchange for the peace we’ve had on Wulong Mountain these past few years. It’s worth it.” She shook her head with a bitter smile.
“Just kill then,” An Jiuyue said.
The High Priest sounded so sad and miserable. An Jiuyue was still a child back then and lacked the strength to even truss a chicken. Wouldn’t it be resolved if they just killed her?
“Jiuyue!”
Upon hearing that, Qian Jiyun reached out and pulled her into his arms imdiately. He looked at her reproachfully.
What was she saying? What would he do if she was killed? Die with her?
“So you rember!”
The High Priest Demon Heart was stunned when she heard her words. She shook her head again.
“Back then, I did think of killing you. However… killing soone is difficult; killing the successor to the Demon Heart is even more difficult. It’s not that I didn’t want to kill you, but I couldn’t.”
“Of course! If you kill the successor, it’ll be the end of the High Priest Demon Heart,” An Jiuyue said with a mocking smile.
Qian Jiyun looked at her and asked, “What do you an?”
Would there be no more successors if the successor died? Couldn’t they just find another?
“Jiyun, you may not know this, but Huayan Peak and Wulong Mountain are known as the two great divine domains. The successors are not chosen by man but determined by the heavens.”
An Jiuyue kept her eyes on the High Priest Demon Heart as she explained it to Qian Jiyun.
“In other words, the heavens determine the successor of the High Priest Demon Heart with the successor’s demonic energy as a guide. However, if the new successor of the High Priest Demon Heart dies, there can never be another successor.
“So how can there be any successors in the future?
“The sa goes for the successor of the inter-plane travelers. Hence, we’re like national treasures now. We have to be protected.”
“You…” Qian Jiyun touched the tip of her nose with his index finger. “Don’t joke around. Let’s be serious.”
“I’m not joking around. High Priest Demon Heart, I’m telling the truth, right?”
An Jiuyue asked.
“Yes, you’re right.” The High Priest Demon Heart did not refute her.
She wanted a successor that was all-rounded, but her successor turned out to be a monster.
She never expected this.
But it had already happened, and there was no point regretting it. In particular, back then, news of An Jiuyue had sohow spread, attracting various factions to fight for her custody..
