Jiang Chen's Will....
Not much time has passed since Jiang Chen came to this world…
Not many memories have been made by Jiang Chen in this world…
But—
With the fear of suddenly transmigrating to another world…
Knowing that he's in a world where no member of his loving family exists…
Only he and him alone…
And he has to survive in this cruel world, where lives are cheaper than money…
And to make it worse—
There are enemies hunting him down, and they are so powerful that just one of them can obliterate an entire city with a single thought…
But it doesn't end there.
There exist revered beings in this world—
The chosen ones…
Those who wipe out entire families over a minor disagreement…
And it was one such chosen one who caused his predecessor's death.
At that moment—when his instincts took over, when survival became his only thought, he did everything he could.
Lies.
Deception.
Empty promises.
Even manipulating women and their feelings—something he would have never done in his previous life.
His mind is working every second just to ensure that he'd survive the next moment…
And in these suffering moments…
He met her.
He deceived her.
He deceived her love.
He deceived her care.
He even deceived her about the identity of the one she was obsessed with—all for his survival…
He knew it was wrong.
He knew it.
And yet… he did it.
Whether it was an impulse or just pure survival instinct—it didn't matter.
Because the truth remains—
He did her wrong.
But even in this new world, in this world of wonders—
The first time he felt safe—was in her presence.
The first time he felt care in this world—was through her.
The first time he felt love in this world—was from her.
The first time he felt needed—was by her.
The first time his heart calmed down after a relentless chase for survival—was in her embrace.
The first physical touch he ever felt in this world—was from her.
Forget about just this world—
Even if we combine both this world and his previous world—
The first girl to ever touch him, to make him feel such strong care, love, and… lust—was her.
She was the only one he had shared a romantic bed with—
Though nothing much happened…
I mean—something did happen, but not much…
But those feelings—that physical touch he shared—
That moment of 'passion and lust'—
It was with her.
And she was the one who to make him strong…
Even pulled out a treasure that even the sect master himself wouldn't dare touch— or has the right to hold onto it....
All for him.
No—
Not for him , Jiang Chen.
But for 'her Jiang Chen'.
The previous one.
The previous soul.
Jiang Chen knew—
She didn't care about him.
She didn't love him.
She didn't need him.
She wasn't obsessed with him.
Bu… bu… but—
Can he ignore her in this state?
In this disastrous state, where red flames are consuming her entire body…
Her once beautiful, white skin now charred—covered in deep red veins and white cracks…
Her mouth hung open, as if screaming—but no sound escaped…
Her flaming eyes—bleeding…
And yet—
She endured it all.
The Vortex Wrath.
The Pillar's Wrath.
And the Realm-Burning Wrath.
All of it.
Why?
To protect him.
Not him—the current Jiang Chen.
But the previous one.
Even so… in this moment—all her suffering was for him.
The Jiang Chen who was reforging his body…
The Jiang Chen who was cultivating…
The Jiang Chen who was about to be obliterated by the fusion cores—
If she wasn't there.
Taking all the wrath upon herself.
Drip… Drip…
More viscous, blood-red drops fell onto Jiang Chen's cheeks.
His mouth hung open, his eyes widened in shock, his heart pounded so hard that it felt like it was about to explode, his stomach churned at the horrifying sight…
And then—he noticed it.
The viscous red liquid falling from the sky—
They were Zi Xia's condensed blood drops, infused with her power.
Even in unimaginable pain, she was guiding them to his body.
And those very drops—
Were spreading over his body, protecting him…
"Ah… ah… AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Jiang Chen screamed so loudly that his vocal cords ruptured.
Even in this suffering—
Even as she burned—
She was still prioritizing his safety.
She was doing everything in her power to protect him.
But " I… I… am… always… fucking… always accepting my defeat… like… a loser…
I… even… tried to kill myself…
When she is burning…
To protect me…
Why… why… WHYYYYYYYYY?! "
Even now, he lost his will, seeing the impossible happening—his mind struggling to comprehend it through the lens of science…
But—
This is a cultivation world.
Here—the strong make the rules.Not science.
Here—common sense bends to human will. Not the other way around.
Here—everything is about WILL.
THE WILL TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING.
THE WILL TO REACH THE HEAVENS.
THE WILL TO BEND THE HEAVENS.
THE WILL TO DEFY THE HEAVENS.
THE WILL TO DESTROY THE HEAVENS!
But…
What about my will?
Jiang Chen slapped himself hard.
Not once.
Not twice.
Not thrice.
A hundred times.
His emotions were churning, colliding, fusing—
Creating something new.
Something dangerous.
Something disastrous.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
[Ding]…
