Chapter 941 - 364: How Can Time Endure Lofty Ambitions? You Are Mere Common Folk

The old man in plain clothes had an indifferent expression, and the unique wrinkles and scars on his face showed that he often ventured into stormy regions, enduring the washing of chaotic aura.

He is a strong presence, unquestionably strong. At least a presence on the level of the Three-legged Golden Crow Ancestor Ya.

"It seems you have a lot of confidence in yourself. Entering the Eternal Sea, without concealing your presence at all," the old man in plain clothes said indifferently.

"Why should I hide?" Fan Wubing asked with a smile.

The old man in plain clothes said, "This is not twenty thousand years ago. Your so-called vision of resisting fate has long left solid ground and become a castle in the air. Many eyes are watching you. You can probably see their thoughts in their eyes."

Fan Wubing looked through the teahouse window at the dome of Wang Liang Daoist Immortal City.

Indeed, as the old man in plain clothes said. Many eyes were watching them. All were important figures of this Eternal Sea.

Fan Wubing smiled,

"Nine hundred seventy-two lords of the star realms, seventy-three chaos walkers, thirty-nine void fates... Oh, seven of the ten immortals of Everlasting Mountain are here. You have quite the turnout. Anyone unaware might think the Eternal Sea is about to be torn apart by the Void Realm."

These people are at least Ancestral Immortals of the True Immortal Seventh Realm.

Those seventy-three chaos walkers, thirty-nine void fates, are all Hongmeng Immortals.

Almost nine-tenths of the Hongmeng Immortals of the entire Eternal Sea have gathered.

As for those seven immortals of Everlasting Mountain, they are the ones who can ascend Everlasting Mountain and leave their names there. Simply put, they have touched the Destiny Dao and can be considered half-step eternal beings. They are the highest, most formidable mountain to cross in this Eternal Sea.

The immortals of Everlasting Mountain have always only had ten positions, and now seven have come at once.

The old man in plain clothes said,

"You have changed. You used to be more serious."

Fan Wubing stretched lazily,

"Can’t be helped, excessively serious men aren’t popular. Besides, why be so serious when living a lifetime? It’s better to smile more."

The old man in plain clothes shook his head,

"Everyone respects you, but they also hope you will stop here and not continue forward."

Fan Wubing’s right index finger continued to tap on the table. Gently and rhythmically, like dictating a tune. He said lightly,

"To gather so many of you together, it seems that guy does have some abilities."

The old man in plain clothes said, "This is merely the consensus of the Eternal Sea. Seven Yao, your choice is wrong. It took us twenty thousand years to gradually find the right path, and we really don’t want to spend another twenty thousand years. Don’t make the Eternal Sea the cost of your mistakes."

Fan Wubing smiled slightly,

"Mistakes. If correctness cannot be defined, then where do mistakes come from? I never claimed to be a hero of the Eternal Sea, nor do you need to style yourselves as righteous."

The Tea Waiter brought the tea,

"Hey, sir, enjoy your tea! Let me know if you need more!"

"Thank you." Fan Wubing nodded and smiled.

As he tasted the tea, he listened to the old man’s steady voice,

"Seven Yao, allowing most people to have the right to live and keeping the Eternal Sea from being devoured by the Void Realm is the right path. In the twenty thousand years since you left, the tearing strength of the Void Realm on the Eternal Sea has gradually increased, with more and more broken lands and less living space left for us. We need a force capable of stopping the spread of chaos."

"Do you believe the eternal essence can stop chaos?"

"This is a self-evident fact. Destiny chose the eternal essence, and we chose destiny." The old man in plain clothes supplemented, "Seven Yao, do you think, when faced with annihilation by the Void Realm versus accepting eternity, how would people choose?"

Fan Wubing did not answer this question, calmly saying, "If I said that eternity is not the stability chosen by destiny but the self-destruction of destiny, would you believe me?"

The old man in plain clothes shook his head, "Seven Yao, the Eternal Sea no longer has room for you to make mistakes."

Fan Wubing gave a slight laugh,

"You are even unwilling to consider my perspective. Then it seems they are much like you, putting shackles around their own necks. When Chaos Soup first opened, it nurtured both destiny and the true dragon. Destiny created the existence of all things and was continued by the existence of all things; of course, you can say you chose destiny. But what about the true dragon? The true dragon, as an observer will independent of destiny and all things... why don’t you choose the true dragon?"

The old man in plain clothes furrowed his brow, "There’s nothing to say about that question."

"I see, you simply don’t know how to answer," Fan Wubing’s tone became indifferent, "From the moment destiny chose the eternal essence, the true dragon already foresaw the fate of the Eternal Sea. If the end is the righteous path you claim, then why would the true dragon strive by all means to escape the control of destiny?"

The old man’s voice deepened, "Seven Yao. We’ve never seen the so-called true dragon, and can’t even distinguish whether it’s a legend."

Fan Wubing said, "Even the smallest life in the Small Thousand Worlds has felt the will of the true dragon. You, who have climbed to the top of Everlasting Mountain and touched destiny, can’t distinguish whether it’s a legend?"

The old man in plain clothes remained silent for a moment, then said,

"That can only mean that the true dragon never observed the real Eternal Sea."

Fan Wubing chuckled,

"How ridiculous. You’d rather deceive yourself with such words to maintain your fragile choice. What did that guy promise you to make you go this far?"

The old man in plain clothes shook his head,

"Seven Yao, you are no longer genuinely considering for us. You have noble ideals, steadfast convictions... you want to pursue freedom beyond destiny, but... even if you fail, you have countless ways to start over. But the Eternal Sea... does it have the chance to start over?"
