These two words, like the heaviest shackles, have been weighing heavily on her heart.
It is her ultimate fate as Sea God Island Grand Pontiff that she cannot escape or change!
The reason why she is willing to give everything, even her life, for Sea God Inheritance is because that is her belief and the meaning of her existence.
But when that day really comes, when the person who needs her "sacrifice" really sits in front of her, looks at her with those clear eyes, and asks her if she is ready...
Only then did she realize that the four words "die calmly" were easy to say, but so difficult to do.
After all, who would want to die if he could live?
Especially someone like her, who has already stood at the pinnacle of the human world, with peerless beauty, heavenly strength, and lofty status...
Her life should have been extremely exciting and long.
But because of the fate of a sacrifice, it seemed to be drawn to the end in advance.
She fell silent.
There was silence for a long time.
Only the night wind blew through her long sea-blue hair and blew up the hem of her white skirt, but it could not dissipate the turbulent waves in her heart.
But she didn't complain about anything. After all, everything she had now was given by Sea God.
So the act of making a sacrifice should naturally be a matter of course.
So if that day really comes and she really encounters herself being sacrificed, she will not hesitate.
After a long time, Bo Saixi seemed to recover from the huge impact.
She breathed out gently, as if she wanted to expel all the complicated emotions in her heart with this breath.
She raised her head and looked at the young man next to her with complicated eyes, who seemed to be able to see through everything. Her voice had a hint of difficulty and an unconcealable tremor:
"How... how did you know?"
"This... who told you?"
She asked herself that she had never revealed any information about the sacrifice in front of Ye Qing.
Lord Sea God would not take the initiative to tell such a thing to a child who has not yet begun the formal inheritance.
So here comes the question, Ye Qing...
Where did he know this?
Facing Bo Saixi's shocked and inquiring gaze, Ye Qing did not shy away.
He sat on the rock, put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and said calmly:
"It doesn't seem like such a special secret."
He turned his head slightly, looked at Bo Saixi's eyes that were shining with complex light under the moonlight, and continued:
"In this world, there may not be many people who know the rule that Sea God Inheritance requires Grand Pontiff to be sacrificed. But... you are not the only one who knows."
Bo Saixi Hearing this, her delicate body trembled slightly again.
She opened her mouth, wanting to ask where Ye Qing learned this secret that even many Sea God Island executives may not know.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't ask the question.
She suddenly remembered that Ye Qing was the heir personally selected by Lord Sea God. There were too many mysteries about him that could not be explained by common sense.
Maybe... Lord Sea God informed him in a dream or in a spiritual thought through some way?
Or maybe, from Qian Daoliu and Angel God?
No matter which possibility it is, it is enough to show that Ye Qing is already well aware of the matter of sacrifice.
Bo Saixi was silent.
She lowered her head and looked at her hands folded on her knees, glowing white in the moonlight.
Those hands have formed divine seals countless times to communicate with Sea God and protect this sacred island.
In the future, these hands may be used...
End his own life and pave the way to the throne of God for the young man in front of him.
Ye Qing looked at Bo Saixi's silent and complicated appearance, and spoke softly, breaking the oppressive silence:
"So, sister Bo Saixi... you are not ready to sacrifice yet, are you?"
Bo Saixi heard this and slowly raised his head.
Her eyes, as blue as the sea, seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist under the moonlight.
But soon, the water mist was forced down by her, and turned into a bottomless calm and determination again.
She shook her head gently, her voice was a little hoarse, but extremely clear:
"No."
"On the contrary."
She turned her head and looked directly at Ye Qing.
Those beautiful eyes were full of complex emotions at this moment.
There is helplessness towards fate, persistence in responsibility, and also an indescribable tenderness that feels like farewell:
"I... have been prepared for a long time."
Her voice carried a calmness that seemed to have settled over a long period of time:
"This is my destiny, it is the responsibility that I cannot shirk as Sea God Island Grand Pontiff, and it is also... my honor."
She paused slightly, as if to calm down the turbulent emotions in her heart, and then continued, her tone more firmly:
"So, no matter how reluctant I am in my heart, no matter how reluctant I am to give up..."
She looked at Ye Qing and said word by word:
"As long as you need it, as long as that is the necessary condition to start a complete inheritance and lead to the throne of God..."
"I, Bo Saixi, will sacrifice... for you without saying a word."
"Everything about me, my life, my soul, my cultivation... are all given by Lord Sea God. For his inheritance and for the continuation of his will, I should... and must do this for him."
Her voice floated gently in the sea breeze, carrying an almost martyr-like piety and determination.
Ye Qing listened quietly, the moonlight shining on his young face, reflecting the deep light in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, not loudly, but with an unquestionable firmness:
"Sister Bo Saixi, you are a good spokesperson and a... good woman."
He turned his head, looked at Bo Saixi's eyes that widened slightly because of his words, and said seriously:
"So, I don't want you to sacrifice."
"Even, I don't want you to... stay in this Sea God Island for the rest of your life."
Ye Qing's voice carries a maturity and responsibility that transcends age:
"You should leave here and go see the outside world. Go see the prosperity of the mainland, see the different customs and customs, and experience... a life that truly belongs to you and does not live for others."
Bo Saixi was stunned for a moment after hearing what Ye Qing said.
Immediately, a smile that was a little helpless, a little doting, and a little bitter appeared on her beautiful face.
She shook her head gently, her tone carrying a hint of annoyance like an elder speaking to a younger generation in childish words:
"Are you talking nonsense here again?"
She raised her head and looked at the boundless sea that glowed silver under the moonlight. Her voice carried a sense of belonging that seemed to be carved into her bones:
"I'm Grand Pontiff from Sea God Island. If I don't stay here, why should I go to the outside world...?"
She turned her head slightly and looked at Ye Qing, her blue eyes full of determination and calmness:
"Since I have received the gift of Lord Sea God, and have gained strength and lifespan far beyond that of ordinary people, I should naturally take on the corresponding responsibilities and protect this sacred island for him until... the successor of Sea God appears, or... until the arrival of the next high priest."
"This is my duty and the meaning of my existence."
