Chapter 5335: Death Is Fine Too

Alright, its my turn. Goldsheep Conqueror happily stepped forward.

Any last words, old man? G.o.dmist laughed.

I have no regrets in life, well see what happens. Goldsheep responded with a smile.

He leaped into the whale's jaws, shouting: "See ya, old geezers, dont miss us too much and try to enjoy life.

Creak! The teeth started grinding against him and blood splashed instantly.

f.u.c.k, this pain! Goldsheep bellowed in agony.

I told you this before and you laughed at me. Greenvine laughed after seeing this.

Ahh! Goldsheep let out one last scream before only the golden horns and the dao fruits were left intact.

Boom! Eventually, even the dao fruits were crushed and everything was swallowed by the whale.

If I dont die, I guess Ill make a lair inside its stomach. Goldsheeps voice came from within the whale.

Now hes going to be miserable for a while. G.o.dmist shrugged, seemingly amused.

As for the whale, it let out a loud cry as if satisfied after the feast. After all, it devoured two conquerors just now. Their flesh and blood were priceless, enough to keep it nourished for another million years.

It made whistling noises, seemingly conversing with G.o.dmist and Greenvine Conqueror.

Splas.h.!.+ After saying goodbye, it returned to the ocean floor.

Look at how nice it is now, it wasnt like this when it ate me. Greenvine smiled wryly and shook his head.

Li Zhitian didnt know what to say. These conquerors were clearly exceptional since despite coming from the lower continents, they still dominated afterward.

Now, although the two victims were still alive, the recovery process would take an absurdly long period.

Top cultivators always cherished their body and dao fruits while these four just casually left their fate to luck.

This simply didnt make sense, not even if it was the only chance to avenge their father or some other irreconcilable feud. Throwing away a lifetime of cultivation was unthinkable.

Its over? Zhitian murmured.

Obviously, not like were gonna give them a funeral. G.o.dmist laughed.

Seems a bit rushed. Zhitian said.

Brat, youre probably thinking that were ridiculous? Greenvine asked.

Well Zhitian had an awkward smile.

No one escapes death. G.o.dmist said with a smile.

But one can live a meaningful life before death. Zhitian said.

Not necessarily since the world is full of the meaningless. Greenvine said: You are immensely talented. Im sure you believe in having a bright future, that the world needs your radiance.

I do not think that highly of myself. Zhitian said.

Lets not deny the truth, I felt the same way when I was younger, that the world needed me or the night would be too long. Greenvine said.

Its just a bunch of bulls.h.i.+t. G.o.dmist said: Will the world come to an end if someone stomps you to death? Will all the ants in the colony die after losing one member?

Of course not. Zhitian said.

Its just that he was born in a prestigious clan, destined for greatness. He was different from everyone else and seemingly had a mission in life. Alas, the recent days made him feel as if he was closer to an ant than a hero.

Disasters are often caused by talented people. G.o.dmist came over and tapped his shoulder: Greenvine and I are from The Race. If I care about it that much, I could take the side of The Race and condemn The People as inferior sc.u.ms. Since I wield incredible power as a conqueror, should I start getting rid of those sc.u.ms?

Well Zhitian couldnt answer right away.

Thats why dont worry about missions or destiny or anything, there are dirty secrets hidden behind these missions. Greenvine smiled.

Then why did you four do the life bet here? Zhitian asked.

The racial conflict is just an excuse. Cultivators such as ourselves have been fighting and will always be fighting. Destruction and killing, whats the point? So we picked a different method instead, leaving it to the villainous heaven. G.o.dmist said.

I see Zhitian contemplated.

Top cultivators normally spewed out speeches about how their fate was their own, not the heavens. On the contrary, these powerful cultivators picked the most unreliable method - leaving it to luck - when they had full control over their destiny.

We just arent afraid of death. How about you, would you partic.i.p.ate? G.o.dmist said.

Zhitian thought that he was not ready to face death. After all, a genius such as himself had so much to live for.

Not being afraid of death is courageous and n.o.ble. Li Qiye finally joined the conversation: One needs to be prepared for this test. Otherwise, when death comes knocking, fear will come as well. Running to avoid death will result in a pathetic life and eventually, depravity.

You are right, Sir. We had similar sentiments but just didnt put it as succinctly. G.o.dmist said.

Although you four have yet to obtain anima, I can see that you have one foot in the door. The path toward everlasting life will open soon enough. Li Qiye praised.

Hmm, we arent trying to force anything. Its fine to die joyously without regrets and animosity. Greenvine shook his head.

A dao path with death as the final destination, thats fine too. Li Qiye nodded approvingly.

We understand. G.o.dmist and Greenvine bowed in response.

Zhitian listened attentively and pondered his own purpose for cultivating.
