Chapter 394: The Chosen One

With such a tragic experience, could she still be called a protagonist? Could it be that only someone who grew stronger through endless suffering could be considered a protagonist? Then why was he different?

His own life had gone smoothly. When he underwent his tribulation, that fellow had even been unwilling to let a single bolt of tribulation lightning fall on him.

If they were all children of the Heavenly Dao, why was his life different from the other two?

Hmm? No, that wasn’t right.

Fu Young suddenly thought of Gou Guangming who had mistakenly believed that he had been saved by another transmigrator and in order to demonstrate his sincerity...

After dismissing the hidden guards Gou Zhi, Gou Heng, and Gou Yue, Gou Guangming told him roughly about the contents of the book he had written with himself as the protagonist.

At that time, he had said that in that small alley, it should not have been his Master who saved him. Instead, a cultivator surnamed Lu had buried him while he was carrying the Void-Time Calyx, causing time to freeze within his body and his soul to remain undying for a very long period. Only after he created the Dao of Destruction and Creation was he finally able to revive.

After that, he experienced far too much pain, despair, hardship, betrayal, and more. It was only after becoming disgusted and despairing of this world that he began walking the path of destroying a Small Thousand World and creating a new world. If that was the case, then everything made sense. His Master was a soul from another world. In the timeline where his Master did not exist, he was no different from Xiao Ran and Shao Hua.

No matter what achievements he ultimately obtained, he would have grown into the person the Heavenly Dao expected through the pain and torment it had arranged for him. The reason he had become the way he was now was simply because he had been luckier than them. He had fortunately met his Master and been saved by him. From then on, under his Master’s protection, he had never suffered the cruel tribulations of life that they had endured, nor had he needed to walk to the end after experiencing countless torments.

His Master truly was his... Without his Master in his life, he would definitely have become a pawn of the Heavenly Dao, a walking, talking, world destroying, world creating walking corpse. Someone like that would not be him at all.

Heavenly Dao, what exactly do you want by nurturing fate’s chosen children like this However, no matter what you want to do...

Thinking of the scene from the prophetic dream in which his Master had been suppressed, Fu Young’s pair of pure black eyes immediately became shrouded in gloom.

"No matter what, as long as anything is detrimental to Master, I will never let it go, no matter who it is. Even if it is the Heavenly Dao, I will never forgive it."

"Young’er! What are you muttering about? What happened to the Heavenly Dao?"

Tushan Shanhe’s sudden appearance brought Xiao Shou back from his self loathing. He had not expected that upon coming to his senses, he would hear his beloved disciple muttering something about the Heavenly Dao. His voice was too indistinct to hear clearly, but she had noticed the words "Heavenly Dao," which greatly concerned her, so she asked through divine sense.

Seeing his Master ask this, Fu Young looked at the thunder roaring even more cheerfully above them. The raindrops were already almost the size of honey dates, yet his expression did not change at all. With an innocent look, he used divine sense to fool her.

"I was just thinking about how Master said she is the chosen one, so I wondered how the Heavenly Dao would protect her in the hands of such a powerful expert."

"Oh! So that’s what you meant! You gave me quite a scare. Just watch and see! I’m telling you, there are many situations like this in the book. Whenever someone whose cultivation is much higher than hers tries to kill her, something will always happen to interrupt it. Either they run away, someone saves her, or an even more powerful enemy of that person suddenly arrives... In short, all sorts of things happen. There are all kinds of situations, but she simply cannot die."

After hearing him say this, Xiao Shou immediately enthusiastically explained the established rules concerning the child of the Heavenly Dao in novels. He was deeply afraid that his beloved disciple might act on a whim and test the female protagonist’s ability to escape death.

Fu Young was delighted to be close to Xiao Shou. Naturally, he had no interest in thinking about Xiao Ran’s affairs. While agreeing with Xiao Shou’s explanation, he moved closer to him, his eyes filled with Xiao Shou’s figure.

Just as Fu Young was muttering to himself and clinging to Xiao Shou, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Void Sect stood up and flew to Xiao Ran’s side. He cautiously and politely looked at the furious Tushan Shanhe and said, "Senior, please show mercy. Let us discuss this calmly. From the sound of it, there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding here!"

Seeing this sudden situation, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Void Sect was so furious that he nearly vomited blood. His own sect disciple had almost been killed right before his eyes, yet he could not even speak harshly. He had to carefully consider every word and tone, afraid that he might accidentally anger this person and cause the foundation of the Heavenly Void Sect to suffer.

Ancestor, oh Ancestor! Why can’t our Heavenly Void Sect’s disciples from the Upper Realm come down as freely as theirs?

"A misunderstanding? I saw it with my own eyes, and you still dare to argue? You’re courting death!" After Tushan Shanhe finished speaking, he raised a hand, seemingly about to strike.
