A World Worth Protecting - Chapter 1439



1439 Chapter 1440. There was no longer a ‘I’in the footstep wind

The approaching lord of Desire had left the boundary of the step chair. In the black fog that it had transformed into, six different colored lights could be faintly seen. These six lights seemed to represent six different desires. They had fused together, however, they had not fused with each other.

Instead, they had transformed into six faces. With the black fog and greed, they charged toward Wang Baole and devoured him.

“It’s over!”The six voices gathered together, shaking the heavens and earth, filled with evil.

Wang Baole raised his head abruptly. The cold light in the depths of his eyes was about to erupt, and just as it was about to show itself… Suddenly, a change occurred!

On the stairs, the emperor, who had been sleeping in his seat, suddenly raised his head. A blue flame appeared in the depths of his eyes. The flame instantly filled his entire eyes, making the emperor.., look very strange.

The moment he raised his head, he raised his right hand and grabbed at the black fog that was about to pounce on Wang Baole.

With that grab, the black fog let out a shrill cry. Its body seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, and it came to a sudden stop in front of Wang Baole.

Wang Baole raised his eyebrows slightly and blinked slightly. The cold light that had been about to erupt from the depths of his eyes was retracted once again.

“Empyrean Lord, you’re courting death!”In mid-air, Wang Baole’s voice was shrill. He turned abruptly, and as the fog erupted, the six faces formed from the six rays of light roared at the Empyrean Lord.

They struggled with all their might, as if they wanted to break free from the Empyrean Lord’s sudden restraint.

As they struggled, the Blue Flames in the Empyrean Lord’s eyes dimmed rapidly. His raised right hand also withered rapidly.

However, the emperor’s expression remained the same. He continued to sit on his seat. The Purple Robe on his body fluttered slightly, and his long hair fluttered in the wind. The Blue Flames in his eyes continued to dim, but as they burned.., the fog around him seemed to be affected as well, and it was expelled from a certain area.

As the fog was expelled, the emperor seemed to be in a better state. He narrowed his eyes, looked deeply at Wang Baole, and suddenly spoke.

“I can only restrain her for a short period of time. Even if I am restrained, we can not kill her at this moment. Lust… exists forever.”

“So, in this short period of time, will you talk to me?”The Supreme Emperor looked at Wang Baole seriously, waiting for his answer.

Wang Baole was silent. He looked at the desire to struggle, then at the Supreme Emperor. After a short while, he nodded.

The emperor smiled when he saw Wang Baole nod. He smiled happily, reminiscing.

“Is the world outside beautiful?”

“It’s not bad,”Wang Baole said slowly.

“Not bad…”the emperor murmured. The blue flames in his eyes grew weaker as he roared and struggled.

“What does it feel like to have someone to accompany you and someone to care about you?”The emperor asked again, his eyes filled with curiosity.

“It’s a feeling that makes you feel like you’re still alive and want to continue living,”Wang Baole said after some thought.

The emperor didn’t speak. He seemed to savor it for a long time. After a long while, he spoke softly.

“Have you been happy all these years?”

Wang Baole didn’t speak either.

The entire hall fell silent in an instant. There was only the struggling and roaring of desire that reverberated in the air.

The Emperor was waiting for Wang Baole’s answer. In reality, he had woken up long ago. When Wang Baole had fought with the Lord of desire, the light spots that had exploded had been the power that had awakened him.

With the help of that power, the Emperor had woken up from his deep sleep at that moment. However, he was too weak. He was so weak that even if he woke up, he would still need some time to display the final divine ability in his body, therefore… under the suppression of desire, he maintained the appearance of a deep sleep.

At the same time, he was thinking and hesitating over a decision.

When the desire master was about to possess and devour Wang Baole, his hesitation wavered, and the decision in his heart became clearer. Therefore… he chose to make a move, restraining the desire master, and then.., he asked these three questions.

These three questions were crucial to his decision.

“There are happiness and unhappiness, but ultimately, I have expectations for the future.”Wang Baole thought seriously for a moment, looked at the emperor, and answered.

“Expectations for the future, huh…”the emperor muttered. The blue flames in his eyes grew weaker, but there was a spark in them. It seemed to appear in his eyes, and it was becoming more and more dazzling.

“If my path can not be taken… then… perhaps your path can.”

“In the end… one of us needs to walk his own path.”As he murmured, the emperor suddenly began to laugh. His laughter grew louder and louder, and as it echoed throughout the entire hall, the light in his eyes was like a blazing sun, boundless light shone.

“Lust!”The emperor growled. He pressed his left hand against the armrest of his chair, struggling to stand up. It was as if even at the end of his life, he still had to maintain his dignity. Even if he had to die, he had to stand up and face everything.

“Although you weren’t the direct cause of my death in my previous life, based on the memories I recovered, you were also an indirect force

“Who I was in my previous life may not be important to me now, but now… I am the Imperial Emperor, the first living being born in this vast universe

“I am an existence worshipped as a god by countless civilizations

“I can lose, but I can only lose to myself!”The Supreme Emperor struggled to stand up from his seat. The Glow in his eyes exploded. He raised his left hand and pointed at Wang Baole.

“Wang Baole, the other part of my true form… take my place… On the path that lies ahead. Take my place to experience happiness, pursue… and look forward to it!”As he said that, the Supreme Emperor threw his head back and laughed loudly. The Blue Flames in his eyes.., at that moment, they exploded. They spread out from his eyes to cover his face, his neck, his upper body, and finally his entire body.

It caused his body to burn in the flames. As it burned, his soul, his physical body, and everything about him gathered at a single point.

They formed a bright blue crystal. It gathered in front of his raised left hand and flew out… straight towards Wang Baole!

That was everything that the Supreme Emperor had lived his entire life!

The Supreme Emperor was just as he had said. He could lose, but he could only lose to himself. That was because in this world, he didn’t think that anyone else had the right to make him lose!

Therefore, since he had failed, he might as well… complete the other part of his original form, Wang Baole!

He had sacrificed himself to complete the other party. He had allowed the other party to complete this life that also had his own brand!

“If you want to pursue the future, then go and pursue it

“If you want to protect your family and friends, then go and protect them

“If you want to sever ties with the past and walk your own path, then… you will be completely severed. From now on, you have nothing to do with the past. You have nothing to do with the Imperial Emperor. You… Are You!”The Imperial Emperor’s laughter shook the heavens as it echoed throughout the entire prime universe dao space, as the Blue Crystal flew out, his body slowly dissipated into the flames, turning into ash..

Dissipated!

From then on..

Three Life Wind Three Life Road, step wind no longer I.
