Capítulo 1931: Chapter 1932: The Script of Fate

Su Zhedian and the long-haired man had their final conversation, which was brief and swift.

They had known each other for too long, and both understood what the other truly wanted. They each had reasons not to yield but also held immense confidence in themselves.

Last time, the long-haired man lost to Su Zhedian’s decade-long schemes, but this time, both believed they would have the last laugh.

“Zhedian, you two…”

“Don’t worry, you probably have had more contact with ChengYu than I have. Do you still not trust him?”

“But…”

Feng Jie Yu frowned and was about to speak when Su Zhedian shook his head to stop her, then looked aside at Xu Nanzhi.

“Nanzhi, you should understand why I’m doing this, right?”

Compared to Feng Jie Yu’s simple worry, he was more concerned about Xu Nanzhi.

It wasn’t about relationships; Su Zhedian knew he could stop Feng Jie Yu from making a move but couldn’t stop Xu Nanzhi from risking her life.

Unexpectedly, Xu Nanzhi was exceptionally calm. She shook her head and looked at Su Zhedian, saying, “I trust Uncle Su’s judgment, but if…”

“There’s no ‘if’.”

Su Zhedian interrupted directly, then looked seriously into the distance.

“And if even Yan’er can’t bring ChengYu back, just as that guy said, even if I personally step in, there would be nothing I could do. After all, this place is his territory.”

The long-haired man’s identity had been clear long ago, the transformation of the Primordial Tree, the core of this world.

In terms of killing power, he might not compare to these genuine Earth Immortals, but his grasp of rules far surpassed their understanding.

Su Zhedian understood this well, which is why he chose to act this way.

Of course, this wasn’t an act of desperation. Looking up at Su Chengyu, who was pinned to the tree at this moment, Su Zhedian softly spoke.

“I’m sorry, son. Although I don’t wish to either, I’ll leave this final piece of my unfinished business to you.”

“Zhedian…”

Su Zhedian shook his head, signaling Feng Jie Yu not to continue speaking, then looked elsewhere and said softly, “Ah Feng, you go ahead. I’ll leave those little ones to you.”

Feng Jie Yu frowned instantly upon hearing this and said, “But you’re still injured.”

Su Zhedian smiled and responded, “It’s fine, this guy is too familiar with me. He won’t make a move against me without absolute certainty, especially since he’s done this countless times before.”

“Alright, but be careful.”

Feng Jie Yu didn’t want to leave initially, but since Su Zhedian insisted, she could only go help the others first.

Though this was the center of the battlefield, battles with the Demonic Path were continuing elsewhere as well.

Xu Nanzhi watched Feng Jie Yu leave, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, “Uncle Su, do you know Yu Shuang of the Yu Clan?”

“I know. She has good talent. She also holds an Immortal Artifact Fragment of the Yu Clan, and those nurtured by the White Tiger Immortal Core from the Human Clan won’t be her match.”

Xu Nanzhi blinked, still pondering whether to ask further about the Yu Clan, but Su Zhedian suddenly looked up and spoke first.

“There’s movement on ChengYu’s side.”

“Master, you shouldn’t have thrust that sword.”

In the Sea of Consciousness, the Soul of Dragon Slayer Sword weakly spoke to Su Chengyu’s consciousness, which had sunk into the Dantian.

Su Chengyu shook his head, “It’s useless. Since Cui Manlou already suspected, he would find out sooner or later. Instead of waiting passively, it’s better to act proactively. Besides, hasn’t the result been fine?”

When Cui Manlou appeared, he forced out the last trump card Su Chengyu had left, a wisp of Sword Qi from the Dragon Slayer Sword.

This outcome seemed to cut off Su Chengyu’s escape route, yet unbeknownst to others, Su Chengyu also used this opportunity to reveal his location.

Though it was just a moment, he clearly sensed that the aura he released had been detected by someone.

“Using the God Calculating Technique, it’s a secret technique of Mount Longhu. Long Xuan and the others have arrived.”

Upon confirming this, Su Chengyu attempted to use the Earth Core Lotus to contact others in the group.

With events progressing to this stage, he could no longer care about hiding his identity, but unfortunately, the Primordial Tree’s prohibition on him was very peculiar; even the Earth Core Lotus’s unique transmission method couldn’t break through the opponent’s blockade.

“Dragon Slayer, do you think I might die here?”

“How could that be! The previous master said! You are destined, one of those ordained to bear that one hope, how could you possibly…”

“What did you say?”

Hearing the response from the Dragon Slayer, Su Chengyu abruptly interrupted, asking with a stern expression.

The Soul of Dragon Slayer Sword panicked upon seeing this, its form flickering, attempting to evade Su Chengyu’s gaze. However, in this space of consciousness, all the movements of the Dragon Slayer Sword couldn’t escape Su Chengyu’s perception.

“Dragon Slayer, you’ve recalled something about being with Grandpa, haven’t you?”

Until the Dragon Slayer could no longer hide it, it could only reply, “Yes, I remember a little…”

“Oh? So what did Grandpa leave behind, and… is he really no longer here?”

Listening to Su Chengyu’s voice, the Dragon Slayer Sword trembled violently, visibly flustered.

A Sword Spirit cannot lie to its master, so when Su Chengyu asked this question, the Dragon Slayer knew it could no longer hide the truth.

“I… I don’t know.”

“Hm?”

“I’m sorry, Master, I truly don’t know about this. I know the previous master didn’t disappear due to what the world believes. The incident in the Capital City did affect the previous master, but being injured is purely fictional.”

“Then? Why did Grandpa suddenly disappear when I was a child?”

The Dragon Slayer Sword pondered for a moment before saying, “The previous master had more important matters to attend to, matters that might put his life in danger or even involve you. That’s why he severed all ties with you and disappeared completely. Also…”

“Also what?”

“The previous master said he had already set his son on the path he once walked, and he didn’t want you to bear such a heavy mission from the moment you were born like Su Zhedian did. So, even though everything was arranged for you, he still left the choice in your hands. It’s for this reason that my memory has gaps…”

The damage to the Dragon Slayer Sword wasn’t due to the passage of time but was caused by others. Su Chengyu had already sensed this but never imagined that it would be his grandfather’s handiwork.

And at this moment, the Dragon Slayer Sword’s words made him realize something. He looked up and said.

“Bai Qiu, Ao Tian, and even the senior Heaven-Mending Stone all ended up near Lin Jiang. Were they all orchestrated by Grandpa?”

“Yes…”

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but laugh, somewhat powerlessly saying, “So, my whole life’s journey was walked along the path Grandpa arranged for me, wasn’t it?”

Sensing the sadness in Su Chengyu’s words, the Soul of Dragon Slayer Sword spoke, “Not exactly… According to the previous master’s plan, you were meant to be the key individual who would inherit the Power of the Heavenly Dao and the Power of Destiny in this world. But the path you walk now, Master, has already exceeded the prior master’s imagination.”

“Destiny?”
