Martial World's
Ch 1859 - Lin Ming's Choice
…
…
…
Sheng Mei's question implied that she knew who the mysterious young man was. But someone that Sheng Mei knew was so powerful that Lin Ming could not understand her at all, and that also made her feel afraid and worried, Lin Ming could not think of anyone other than the Soul Emperor.
"Yes nih . ”
Sheng Mei slowly nodded. He was not surprised that Lin Ming could guess the identity of the young man.
The Soul Emperor was the one who held the supreme control of the spiritas and the seven Heavens of the spiritas. Although the spiritas had many True Immortals, these True Immortals took the Soul Emperor as their ruler.
Towards this extremely deep and mysterious character, Lin Ming was filled with fear.
"If he doesn't find Ruby, he shouldn't have found the Magic Cube …"
Lin Ming felt his back drenched in cold sweat. When he met the mysterious young man, Lin Ming had tried his best to restrain his every thought and emotion. Even so, he felt as if he had actually been seen.
Fortunately, the Magic Cube was originally the highest heavenly tool in the universe and Ruby was also a very mysterious character who could even see through the Laws left behind by the creator of the Holy Scripture.
These are two existences that surpass the imagination of others. If they hid their auras as best they could, it was normal that even True Immortals could not find them.
Moreover, according to what Lin Ming had learned before, the Soul Emperor should have never seen the Magic Cube before.
"Soul Emperor ... why is he here especially to see me?"
Thought Lin Ming, fascinated. Without a doubt, the Soul Emperor was deliberately waiting for him at the edge of that dead lake!
The Soul Emperor said that Lin Ming's path was too smooth and not conducive for him to reach the true peak of martial arts. These words had left a deep impression in Lin Ming's mind, but he did not believe that the Soul Emperor had been there just to leave these words behind and help guide his cultivation.
As Lin Ming spoke, his eyes lit up and he looked at Sheng Mei. He was waiting for his response; this was something that worried his life!
The Soul Emperor was too powerful. Although humans have no conflict of interest with the spiritas now, and can even be called loosely connected allies, they are, Lin Ming was still worried by being noticed by this figure who possessed unimaginable strength and could control life or death at any time.
Sheng Mei sighed, not answering.
Lin Ming continued to stare at Sheng Mei. "Why are you sighing?"
"I'm sighing you …"
Sheng Mei said slowly.
Lin Ming grew increasingly colder. "Why are you sighing for my destiny?"
Sheng Mei shook her head, not saying anything.
Lin Ming was also silent.
After the two remained silent for a quarter of an hour, Sheng Mei suddenly looked at Lin Ming, her eyes sparkling like stars.
"Lin Ming, let me ask you one more time. Are you willing to abandon mankind, abandon everything, and follow me in reaching the pinnacle of martial arts, investigating the boundaries of the road of martial arts, and, building a vast world that lies apart from the 33 Heavens and becomes the ruler of that world?
“You and I can even become like the Asura Road Master and the Sacred Scripture Master from 10 billion years ago. We can cultivate the Law of Eternal Life and live forever in this world. ”
Sheng Mei's words were filled with a dark temptation. Moreover, as he spoke, Lin Ming could feel an invisible force field covering the two of them, isolating all sounds.
He did not know why, but the view that Sheng Mei threw him away caused his heart to race.
At that moment, she intuitively felt that Sheng Mei's eyes were filled with sincerity and hope, causing one to be unable to resist her …
In Lin Ming's impression, Sheng Mei was a strong woman filled with ambition and calculating plans. As long as he was in contact with Sheng Mei, on the surface it seemed as if they were happy alone and when they cooperated, it was even as if their minds were in harmony.
But in the depths of his heart, Lin Ming had always been wary of Sheng Mei. If Lin Ming had 120% confidence in Xiao Moxian, Qin Xingxuan, and Mu Qianyu, then against Sheng Mei he might not even have 20% confidence%.
But this time, for some unknown reason, Lin Ming thought that Sheng Mei's words were true, words that came out of his heart. Lin Ming wanted to reject her, but he seemed to be unable to call out words even though they were lying near his lips.
This was because he could vaguely sense that Sheng Mei had summoned great determination to say what she said, and this was probably the last time she asked. And if he were to reject it now, he would reject something important.
"Soul Emperor ... how could he allow my existence?"
Lin Ming slowly asked under the enchantment blocking Sheng Mei's voice.
Without a doubt, the Soul Emperor was also someone who had great ambitions. If the Soul Emperor still had a long time to live, how could he let competitors from different races grow?
Even if the Soul Emperor did not have the rest of his long lifespan, he would still need to choose a descendant, and he would absolutely not choose a human to inherit his legacy.
“Me and the Soul of the Emperor are different from what you imagined. I'm just asking you – do you agree? "
Sheng Mei's words were ambiguous. He did not explain anything to Lin Ming, only continuing to look at him with sincere hope in his eyes.
At that moment, it seemed like she was not the Empress of Souls, Sheng Mei who dominated the spiritas and looked down on the world, but a refined woman who aroused one's deepest sympathies.
"I don't understand…"
Lin Ming silently said. Sheng Mei's actions today made her shocked.
Sheng Mei shook her head. “I just want to ask you this and know your answer. If you agree then I'll explain the doubt that's in your heart, but if you refuse, I'm worried in the future, maybe … "
Sheng Mei did not continue speaking. His last words left Lin Ming feeling something strange in his stomach, as if saying it would hurt him.
Lin Ming knew that if he agreed to Sheng Mei's terms, there was a chance that he would teach her an almost complete Scripture!
To Lin Ming, this was an unimaginable advantage!
Lin Ming had already taken a step back. The so-called 'waiting' was to wait until he grew into an extreme Empyrean who approached a True God, to wait for him to have enough strength to contend with the saints 'The Good Fortune Saint Sovereign and even turned the tide of war.
At that time, once humanity was safe then he would have more choices he could make. He could wholeheartedly pursue the pinnacle of martial arts.
Yet .. Sheng Mei shook her head.
"No . ”
He refused without causing any compromise, leaving Lin Ming stunned.
"Why?"
“I don't have time. ”
A nervous expression appeared in Sheng Mei's eyes.
Don't have time?
Lin Ming took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. At that moment, in his mind, the images of his parents, Xiao Moxian, Mu Qianyu, Qin Xingxuan, Lin Xiaoge, the Heavenly Dream Empyrean, Empyrean Vast Universe, and even Empyrean Primordius who left behind his legacy, were, it was like a panorama. There were the Black Dragon of the Abyss Eternal Demon and countless human individuals who had crossed paths with him, helping him, supporting him …
These were things he could not throw away.
Humans have never been independent. They need human society, and must also be recognized by others.
Lin Ming could not allow himself to become independent, climbing alone towards the peak of martial arts.
To survive in eternal loneliness.
A fate so desperate and unimaginable.
Finally ...he gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"I refuse!"
Hearing Lin Ming's heavy voice, a look of disappointment flashed across Sheng Mei's face. He looked at Lin Ming and slowly closed his eyes. Under the starlight, her long eyelashes looked shivering.
Actually he was already expecting Lin Ming's answer. Otherwise, he would not be Lin Ming at all.
Sighing, Sheng Mei turned around, staring at the boundless starry sky.
Her magnificent figure was marked by her dark red dress. As it fluttered in the wind, he exuded an infinite charm.
She was like the goddess of heaven and earth, controlling creation, perfect and unshakable. But at that moment, within his brightly lit eyes, he also revealed endless loss.
Why did he ask again?
Maybe ... he just needs a reason to give up …
"Lin Ming .. You are a moth attracted to the flame. Even though you know there is a raging fire in front of you, you are still desperately plunging into the roaring flames …
"Me, I'm also a moth …"
Sheng Mei's voice was like starlight flowing through the night sky.
Lin Ming was silent. Indeed, he is a moth.
The saints are strong to the point of being incomprehensible. Perhaps, no matter how hard he tried, even if he ran out of his full potential and burned his life, he might still be unable to stop the invasion of the saints.
But Sheng Mei ... what fire is she facing?
"Your words, sound familiar …"
Lin Ming sighed. He recalled when he was 15 years old and had just stepped onto the road of martial arts, he lacked raw medicines to help cleanse and heal his body. And for humans, if they lack the ingredients and medicines to nourish their bodies, they may withdraw themselves and become disabled for the rest of their lives.
In the past he had raised money to buy these medicines. He had drawn inscription symbols and went to various town squares, auction houses, and inscription association shops, but since he was not famous, he received nothing but a cold shoulder.
As a result, the scene of his failure had been witnessed by his first love, Lan Yunyue.
At that moment, the advice Lan Yunyue gave him was similar to Sheng Mei's advice…
“I remember .. that when I was mortal, an old friend of mine warned me not to be stubborn and practice martial arts. He didn't want me to spend the rest of my life with a disability in bed. But my answer is …
“The path of martial artists is like a flame. Practicing martial arts will only cause pain. The dangers were innumerable and the path was filled with obstacles. Everyone who walks will eventually turn to ashes, but true martial artists will be reborn from these ashes. Even if I was just a small and weak moth, I would walk into the fire without hesitation. I will fight with my destiny for the one in a million chance that I will experience my own samsara and be reborn as a blazing phoenix. And even now, I am no longer a moth .. ”
As Lin Ming said these words, he had no idea what he was feeling in his heart.
He knew that he was throwing away an easy path to take, and chose to walk on a path filled with thorns and obstacles, he said, and he didn't even know if he could reach the end of this path or not.
And when he chose to take this path, he seemed to have hurt Sheng Mei. Even so, Lin Ming had no idea what difficulties Sheng Mei had that he could not reveal …
“Forget the words I said tonight. ”
Sheng Mei suddenly calmed down. He turned around, the disappointment in his eyes had already completely vanished, replaced with a cold indifference.
It was as if what Lin Ming saw and heard was only an illusion. It was as if that miserable Sheng Mei had never existed at all.
She was the same as before, Empress of the spirits, dominating the world, looking down on all the others!
"Lin Ming, the worm that lives among dead leaves and fallen branches will never understand the beauty and greatness of this world. You have too many chains shackling you. The road of martial arts is to fight to live with heaven, and climbing to the top of martial arts is to destroy the heaven under your feet. Since ancient times, people who were willing to throw away all others naturally had their own talents, yet they were still defeated, he said, let alone someone like you who has chosen to place such a huge burden on yourself and shoulder the fate of your race. . Don't you know the story of Empyrean Divine Seal from 3. 6 billion years ago? He was a completely peerless character, the True Dragon of the world, but he also chose to shoulder the fate of humans and in the end he died in battle. Too bad, what a loss! ”
Sheng Mei gently sighed. Lin Ming shook his head. "I am not an Empyrean Divine Seal. My path is the one I will walk. And the choice I made, I will not regret in the future! "
