Just as everyone was discussing how to enter the Demon Abyss with the Three Realms Immortal Lord, Jiangli, who had been asleep for days, suddenly woke.
Then it leaped up and landed directly on the Three Realms Immortal Lord's shoulder.
"You old fossil, you're actually letting Yang Qing enter the Demon Abyss?"
Jiangli was furious.
It had only slept for a few days, yet when it woke, the world outside had changed completely.
"Heaven's will cannot be defied. As an Ancient Divine Beast, surely you know he should have entered the cycle of reincarnation long ago?"
Jiangli swatted the Three Realms Immortal Lord several times, but he was not annoyed. He communicated through divine sense.
Hearing this, Jiangli grew even angrier.
It was precisely because it knew that no matter how it intervened, it could not change Yang Qing's fate.
"Doesn't the Upper Realm have ways to alter fate? He's done so much for all the living beings in this world. Doesn't he deserve a peaceful end?"
At the thought of the life Yang Qing had left, Jiangli's heart ached unbearably.
"Without those good deeds, he would have died when you set sail for Immortal Island."
The Three Realms Immortal Lord looked at Jiangli with deep pity. "People must learn to be content."
Keeping Yang Qing alive until now had already been an extraordinary blessing.
"Besides, entering the Demon Abyss isn't necessarily a bad thing. With his unwavering resolve, how could ordinary demonic beasts possibly be his match?"
At this point, the Three Realms Immortal Lord sighed softly. "Moreover, some problems have arisen in the Demon Abyss—not great, but not small either. If we continue turning a blind eye, they may brew a terrible calamity in the days to come."
"This is his tribulation, but also his gateway to survival."
