Fang Beidou left and when Yan Liqiang was the only one to remain, the night wind was getting cold. At this moment, there was dew on the gra.s.s blades. Yan Liqiang sat in front of the desk alone, drinking until he finished the wine in the kettle. Then, he yawned and returned to his room.

After returning to his room, Yan Liqiang thought and took a deep breath before going into the Heavenly Shrine with a strange feeling.

“You’re here?” Just like how he was waiting for Fang Beidou, when Yan Liqiang came into the shrine, Fu Guang was already waiting for him.

“I’m here!” Yan Liqiang smiled and looked at Fu Guang and the toy capsule machine before rubbing his face, “To be honest, it’s been like a dream, and I don’t want to leave!”

“This is your choice!” Fu Guang looked at Yan Liqiang with deep eyes. “Before you make a decision, I already told you this would be the result. If you choose to save people, you will expose the existence of the Heavenly Stone. The Heavenly Tribulation that will happen one year later covers the heaven’s plans. Even the most powerful beings can’t predict it accurately. One can only see it in the Heavenly Realm. The Heavenly Stone has its own will, and you’re too weak now to be its true protector.

Since you have chosen to expose the existence of the Heavenly Stone, the Heavenly Stone will no longer stay in this world where you are from. Otherwise, you find yourself dead very soon and the Heavenly Stone will fall into the hands of the being it doesn’t want to get close to. If that happens, it will surely bring true disaster and destruction. It won’t be just the matter of a few million people but countless worlds and dimensions!”

“Is there really someone behind the Heavenly Tribulation that’s going to happen in a year?” Yan Liqiang asked in disbelief.

“If you consider something like me with self-consciousness as a person, then someone is indeed behind it!”

“How is that possible?”

“Nothing is impossible. The so-called impossible is ignorance to true power!”

Yan Liqiang looked at the floating Heavenly Stone again and was filled with this indescribable feeling. It was this stone that brought him to this world and gave him two lives and everything he had now. When he owned it he felt nothing, but when he was about to lose it, he felt reluctance. He realized he had already considered this thing a reliable friend and a part of his life.

The Heavenly Stone seemed to have sensed Yan Liqiang’s emotion and in that shower of light, rare animals and spirits jumped out of the Heavenly Stone and started circulating around Yan Liqiang. They seemed to be comforting him and saying farewell.

“Will I be able to see it and you again?” Yan Liqiang asked.

“The Heavenly Stone will leave a mark deep in your sea of consciousness. If you can survive in the future and become strong enough, you can activate that mark. That mark will bring you to find the Heavenly Stone again!”

“I feel so much better after hearing that. At least I still have a chance!”

“Before the stone leaves, you can still use the energy points and seals of life you have here!”

“No need, it has already given me enough. The things I leave behind can be for memory so that when we meet again, it won’t feel too distant…” Yan Liqiang smiled.

After leaving the Heavenly Shrine, Yan Liqiang looked peacefully at the door in his sea of consciousness. Slowly, that door became obscure and faded before completely disappearing…

When he opened his eyes again, Yan Liqiang found that he was already in tears.

Everything had a price! He thought there was no price before.

He could only choose between giving the warning and having the Heavenly Stone. According to Fu Guang, the Heavenly Tribulation that would happen in a year later wasn’t natural. There was a powerful being behind it. The Heavenly Tribulation was already on its way pa.s.sing through countless s.p.a.ce voids. It was like a bullet shooting at the center of the Great Han Empire. No one knew about it. If he disclosed it, it would expose the existence of the Heavenly Stone and bring about many catastrophes. So, the Heavenly Stone could only leave.

Of course, Yan Liqiang could keep owning the Heavenly Stone as long as he didn’t disclose the Heavenly Tribulation. In the future, Yan Liqiang could still use this divine artifact to create miracles and glory.

Yan Liqiang chose saving people because he felt this was his mission and purpose in coming to this world. He had to do this. If he didn’t, then no matter what achievement he attained, he wouldn’t feel happy throughout his entire life. He would feel he was a selfish coward hiding behind the Heavenly Stone, and such a person didn’t deserve it!

I came, I saw, and I will change it!

No matter what the future was, using the Heavenly Stone to give all these people a chance to live was worth it!

My heart is bright, there’s no need to say anything else!

…

The next morning, Yan Liqiang for once didn’t cultivate Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing. He climbed to the top of the roof and faced east as he watched the sun rise. When the sunlight splashed on his face and gave him a warm feeling in his heart, Yan Liqiang smiled and got off the roof. He packed before leaving the yard towards the capital city.

A foreigner who came to earn some money wanted to go see the busy capital city now, this was very reasonable. Plus, what if the capital city disappeared after one year? He should use this time to wander more.

Of course, the real reason was that he had decided to a.s.sa.s.sinate Lin Qingtian. Before he drew his bow, he had to at least check the landscape.

“Brother, do you want to buy flowers?”

At the west gate, a small girl selling flowers stood before Yan Liqiang and looked fearfully at him.

Yan Liqiang stopped for a moment; this scene seemed familiar. The little girl was a little older but she was still the same girl. There were peach flowers in her hand, and they were everywhere outside the city.

“This is peach flower, one copper coin a flower!” the little girl said timidly.

Yan Liqiang searched around and took out an iron coin and pa.s.sed it to the little girl. Then, he selected a small flower and placed it in the little girl’s hair and patted her on the head, “Remember, be brave at all times. Other than this capital city, there are flowers everywhere else in the world!”

The little girl looked dazedly at Yan Liqiang but he had already disappeared into the crowd…
