Chapter 1687 - Destiny
When the news about Wind Cloud City had reached Xiao Hongxue, he knew it was too late for him.
“What a piece of trash!”
Now that he had found out that Jiang Chen had become the new Extraordinary Supreme Venerable, he had become even more flustered and exasperated.
Wind Cloud City’s position had shifted, and it was now under the control of the Sovereign Spirit Palace, the Martial Divinity Palace, and the Xia.
As a result, he had far less control over it than before. He hadn’t even heard the news about the fire that had been found underground. Otherwise, if he had known about it, the true source of fire would have definitely been his.
The thing that had angered him the most was that he had felt a signal from the Vulcan Ring once again. This must have meant that the two descendants of the Fire Emperor could detect one another once again.
Previously, Jiang Chen had used some unknown method to hide his own fire energy. The fact that the ring was detectable again was definitely not due to the failure of his method. Jiang Chen had done this on purpose!
Under that gaze, he seemed to be going back in time. Every action of Xiao Nuo in the residential palace was shown to Jiang Chen.
“Oh, no.”
Jiang Chen was surprised to find out that in the past three years, Xiao Nuo had never stepped out of the celestial palace even once. The only time she’d ever left was when she went to the Alien Battlefield and to the Demon Slayers Palace with him.
Before that, Xiao Nuo had reincarnated into the Red Cloud Venerable, turned the forbidden land into a flat land, and built the Ling Long Celestial Palace.
Way before that was the 500 years of darkness when Xiao Ruo had been sleeping in the World of Bloody Sea.
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen’s energy seemed to be dying. Both his eyes felt painful. However, he forced himself to activate the Wisdom Eye and finally saw what had happened 500 years ago.
“Oh, my god!”
Finally, Jiang Chen had seem what he had been looking for. His expression had never been this solemn.
At this same time, Xiao Nuo, who was in the residential palace, felt something. Her eyes opened in anger.
“Come here!” Jiang Chen heard a demanding voice in his ears.
No need for her to call him. Jiang Chen wanted to go into the residential palace himself to make things clear.
When he’d arrived at the residential palace, he got straight to the point and said, “Xiao Nuo, why didn’t you tell me?”
“Who asked you to act on your own and look at it? Besides, how did you see it?” Xiao Ruo was extremely surprised. She’d planned never to tell Jiang Chen about it.
“I have the Wisdom Eye. I can see through everything in the world.”
As Jiang Chen was talking, he couldn’t stop himself and he held Xiao Nuo in his arms. “I am so sorry. I haven’t cared enough about you. I thought after you became the Red Cloud Venerable you didn’t have any problems.”
Listening to his tender voice, Xiao Nuo let out a sigh. The burden of being the strongest female Venerable Sovereign was removed as she snuggled in his arms.
“My master has allowed me to live until this day to reunite with you, explain the truth, and die without any regrets.”
Xiao Ruo said faintly, “But you returned the sovereign spirit of the Red Cloud Venerable to me and let me continue my life. I must practice nonstop, or, if I stop, I will be one step closer to death.”
To put it in a different way, Xiao Nuo was already dead. Her life right now was fully dependent on her practicing.
A ruthless fact was that no one could escape time.
Immortality was the dream of all intelligent life.
However, one’s life span had already been decided by destiny. Only increasing one’s level could change one’s fate.
Xiao Nuo had crossed 500 years with her body perfectly preserved, and with excellent life characteristics.
However, she owed destiny 500 years of life span.
Therefore, she had to shut herself in forever. Being called the most hard-working female Venerable Sovereign was a kind of sarcasm that she could really have done without.
