Chapter 1978: I Want to Take Responsibility
An Lin was shocked by the Heavenly Sea God’s plans.
Was he trying to become the ultimate double agent?
The Heavenly Sea God was supposed to be on the same team as Light and Earth, but he was now an ally of Life and Heaven. However, both of the aforementioned alliances were actually fake, and he was actually only An Lin’s ally?
Who wasn’t the Heavenly Sea God allied to?!
An Lin didn’t really know what to say.
“Do you have a specific plan?” An Lin asked.
The Heavenly Sea God replied, “The Heaven Crushing Sect is about to join the war. When that time comes, the war will become extremely unpredictable, and all we can do is to adapt and act according to the situation!”
An Lin: “…”
Act according to the situation?
So this idiot had no plan…
“Seeing as the Heaven Mending Sect has already reached the third stage of the mending of the heavens, why haven’t you stopped her?” An Lin was confused.
“Mending of the heavens corresponds with the will of the Heavenly Dao. As such, attacking Nuwa will incur a backlash from the subconscious will of the Heavenly Dao.” The Heavenly Sea God was getting a little disgruntled. “Why do you know literally nothing?”
“Er…” An awkward expression appeared on An Lin’s face. “I pursue a life of freedom that is devoid of inhibitions and responsibility. After all, the more I know, the more I will be swept up into everything.”
“Then why are you asking me these questions now? Aren’t you contradicting yourself?” The Heavenly Sea God chuckled.
“I’m asking because I want to take more responsibility now,” An Lin replied.
The Heavenly Sea God fell silent upon hearing this.
“By the way, can I ask a favor from you?” An Lin asked.
“Of course you can, ask away! I’ll do my best to help you,” the Heavenly Sea God replied.
An Lin was ecstatic to hear this. “Can you let me bite off a chunk of your flesh?”
The Heavenly Sea God shuddered. “What?! What do you mean?”
“I meant exactly what I said. Let me eat a chunk of your flesh, just a tiny little mouthful will do, and you’ll obtain a more powerful ally!” An Lin urged.
The condition for his progression to the Dao Integration Stage was to consume flesh from a paramount Heavenly God. This condition looked next to impossible to satisfy, but he had the Heavenly Sea God that could help him out!
The Heavenly Sea God was also a paramount Heavenly God!
The Heavenly Sea God fell into a dumbstruck silence for more than ten seconds.
“If you’re really my brother, then let me have a bite!” An Lin urged again.
The Heavenly Sea God cleared his throats. “I think I get what you’re saying now. You’re trying to absorb the essence of a paramount Heavenly God as a catalyst to unlock the power of darkness within your body?”
An Lin blinked and was struck by a sense of enlightenment.
“I would love to help you, but I really have been injured, and my essence sustains damage as well, it will be irreversible and might even prevent me from becoming the most completely Heavenly Dao in the end… I’m really sorry.” The Heavenly Sea God was quite dejected.
“I see… That’s alright.” An Lin was also very disappointed, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
Both parties had to be willing and consensual in order for something like this to work. If the Heavenly Sea God didn’t want to do it, then there was no other way.
“It’s alright, I’ll help you slice the flesh off the other paramount Heavenly Gods during the upcoming battles!” The Heavenly Sea God made an earnest promise.
An Lin was a little taken aback to hear this.
Why did these words sound so familiar…
“I’ll contact you if I manage to devise a plan. I can refrain from attacking using the excuse that I’m still recovering from a backlash, but my subordinates have to fight. Tell Lan Xiaoni to deploy some inconsequential troops to fight my Western Heavenly Gate Army. If things are too peaceful, it will draw suspicion,” the Heavenly Sea God instructed.
Seeing as they had decided to do this, they had to make everything look convincing.
An Lin also knew that it was necessary to keep up appearances, so he agreed to this course of action.
After cutting off the voice transmission, An Lin looked up into the sky with a multitude of emotions surging through his heart.
He only wanted to be an ordinary person who lived a safe and happy life.
However, before he knew it, he had been embroiled in this war that he had been desperately trying to avoid. He simply had no choice in the matter.
There were too many people that were important to him, and he had to protect them. The Heavenly Gods wanted to exterminate the human race, which included his family and friends. How could he just stand by idly and allow it to happen?
Seeing as he was going to get involved anyway, he might as well embroil himself at the very center of this war!
He was going to vanquish the most powerful enemies!
An Lin’s conviction became more resolute as he followed this train of thought, and his vacant eyes became clearer and more determined.
“An Lin, it’s time to eat. I cooked up some really delicious food for you today.”
A pleasant female voice sounded from outside.
“Coming!” A gentle smile appeared on An Lin’s face as he made his way outside.
Xu Xiaolan had become a teenager, but she retained her love for cooking and cooked delicious meals for An Lin every day.
After sampling all of the delicacies in Yue Tong City, Xu Xiaolan was inspired, and An Lin became her test subject.
An Lin was quite happy with this arrangement. After all, Xu Xiaolan had the skill of a Chef Goddess, and no matter what she cooked, it was sure to be delicious.
An Lin was full of anticipation as he arrived at the dining table, but his expression froze on his face at the sight that he was greeted by.
“Wh… what’s this?!” An Lin’s eyes widened.
“This is the feast I cooked after receiving inspiration.” Xu Xiaolan smiled.
The entire table was covered in green.
All types of vegetables and spirit-rank ingredients emanated piercing green lights, and An Lin felt as if he were looking at an advertisement promoting environmental-friendliness.
The dishes all looked quite appealing, but they were all green, and An Lin’s legs were trembling at the sight of the harrowing scene before him.
Try to imagine an entire table of green dishes, all of which were emanating green lights…
“Is… isn’t this a little too green?” An Lin’s voice trembled.
Xu Xiaolan blinked as she laid a finger on her chin. “That’s alright. Green represents health and vitality, so having a bit of green in your diet isn’t a bad thing.”
An Lin was starting to panic. “Xiaolan, are you feeling alright?”
A faint smile appeared on teenage Xiaolan’s face. “I’m feeling great! I was suddenly inspired by how I cucked[1] myself last time and that prompted me to cook up this feast.”
An Lin’s lips twitched. There was definitely something wrong here!
“Come on, An Lin, it’s time to take your medicine.
“This medicinal soup can alleviate fatigue and is beneficial to the digestive system…”
Teenage Xiaolan made her way over to An Lin with a bowl of green soup in her hands.
[1] Green is the color of being cucked in Chinese pop culture.
