The almost endless stabbing pain in his mind made the Law Sovereign feel as if he were living a fate worse than death; yet his brain continued to operate clearly, contemplating and considering, making conscious sacrifices.
“With a powerful body, one can be unparalleled in the world; only by being unparalleled can one achieve supremacy; after attaining supremacy, I will consider the issue of longevity; only after everything has reached perfection can I care for my family and my brothers! If I am already perfect, excessive consideration is merely the behavior of a foolish person.”
“Is it that family and brothers are the least necessary? No, my supremacy and unparalleled status, what is the ultimate goal? For what purpose? Thus, family and brothers cannot be abandoned.”
Sweat poured down the Law Sovereign as he continued to struggle and resist.
The Heavenly Demon Freak observed calmly, having completely lost his confidence in victory, merely operating the demon formation. Are the people of this world all insane?
Just now, that ant-like young demon unexpectedly turned the tables, which was quite surprising. The one in front of him, with a higher cultivation level, does he not feel pain in his nerves? Even in the Nine Heavens Pavilion, it seems there aren’t many who can withstand pain at this level, right? What kind of world is this?!
The only thing supporting the Heavenly Demon Freak was that the Law Sovereign was still making choices, still continuing this game!
“Remove it, I will be unparalleled!” The Law Sovereign’s eyes were as cold as ice and snow, and he finally made his decision.
The Heavenly Demon Freak sighed in relief; he was truly afraid now. He didn’t dare to waste words and hurriedly proceeded with the fifth task, feeling a bitterness rise in his heart: Could it be that the people of this world are actually two different kinds from those in the Nine Heavens Pavilion, merely appearing similar? He should have been the first to abandon his brothers in life and death…
Does this mean I will face failure again?
Then I…
“Remove the issue of longevity.”
……
“Remove the unparalleled status.”
……
Only three options remained: a powerful body, parents and family, brothers in life and death.
The Law Sovereign’s steady breathing became heavy.
Having reached this point in his choices, he was already nearing his limit!
He hesitated for a long time, and finally, with a hoarse voice, he said, “Remove… the powerful body, I will only keep the parents and family, and the brothers in life and death. I insist on keeping these two options! No more choices.”
“No! You must choose again!” The Heavenly Demon Freak did not relent, feeling increasingly despondent and disheartened. At this moment, he just wanted to quickly end this embarrassing game, a game he had orchestrated and controlled that was now slipping out of his grasp time and time again.
“Remove… the parents and family!” The Law Sovereign closed his eyes.
Since he returned to the mortal realm, he had not put his family members in his heart, always thinking that they were merely decorations in his successful life; but at this moment of abandonment, he realized that he had placed them at the end of his choices, even more important than his own body, strength, and perfection…
And in the end, when he had to give them up, it was still such a heart-wrenching experience.
A heart seemed to shatter into pieces in an instant.
Yet he never chose to abandon his brothers in life and death…
“I have betrayed you once, I have abandoned you once… This time, I will not give you up, no matter what, never…” The faces of his nine brothers seemed to appear before the Law Sovereign, even after tens of thousands of years had passed, each was still so vivid in his memory.
“I’m sorry…” The Law Sovereign lowered his head in sorrow: “I’m sorry… brothers, I was wrong to you back then… but this time, in this new choice, I finally kept you until the end, to accompany me, to accompany me forever.”
