Chapter 17: Unrivaled in the World, Standing Alone for Eternity!

At this moment,

Ji Yue’er looked at Ling Feng with even more disgust.

If not for Brother Ao Tian’s prior instruction not to take action, she would have long taught this insolent lowlife a lesson.

Lin Ao Tian calmly turned around, walking away with hands behind his back in a leisurely manner.

No one saw his movements clearly.

Only his voice echoed.

“I am helping you not for any other reason, but for the long years ahead, for the me standing alone in the endless river of time. Looking back at the ages, I hope to still see some outstanding figures behind me.”

“This road is too far, too lonely, I wish for someone to walk with me, and you…you are very good.”

“I don’t want a day to come when the stars collapse, the universe overturns, and I’m left alone. Although invincible in the world, in the end, only memories remain, watching old loves turn white like snow, buried in the soil, seeing old friends decay, resting in their graves. At that moment, everything will be empty.”

In the void.

That invisible figure trembled slightly, her starry eyes filled with complex emotions.

Those words seemed to speak to her, yet not.

For some reason.

She had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

At this moment, she felt that maybe Lin Ao Tian was the one she had been waiting for!

[Ding, Nuwa’s descendant favorability +1…+1…… Ding, favorability reached 10, Host, you can perform a draw.]

Returning to his courtyard, Lin Ao Tian smiled with satisfaction.

Alright!

The chives are in hand!

Slowly cutting them is the proper use of the destined protagonist.

What’s the point of just fighting him or killing him?

Sapping his fortune and opportunities is the right path.

***

After Lin Ao Tian disappeared.

At the martial stage.

Everyone was still immersed in the words he left behind.

Standing alone in the river of time, looking back at the ages… Though invincible, in the end, only memories remain…

This road is too lonely, I wish for someone to walk with me…

If anyone else had said these words in Lin Ao Tian’s place, they would have been ridiculed!

But coming from someone with the bearing of an emperor, no one found it inappropriate!

After all!

Innate double pupils!

Emperor’s phenomena!

Just now, with the cultivation of a Venerable, he shattered the void with a single finger, and pointedly spoke about an arrogant genius.

Everything he did seemed effortless.

And the sense of loneliness in his words, everyone could feel it, wasn’t feigned.

That feeling of being invincible in the world, looking back at the mortal world, everything is mere bones, was genuine.

“Unexpectedly, Lin Gongzi is so lonely, I thought he would be very happy…”

“Yes, if it were someone else with this talent, background, and admired by our Ji family’s pearl, who wouldn’t be happy…”

That Ji family boy’s tone changed, showing admiration, “But Lin Gongzi is different!”

“He seems born to be invincible, and so is his future, that’s why he’s lonely!”

Upon hearing this, the Ji family’s female disciples couldn’t help but look up to the sky with lingering thoughts.

“Lin Gongzi is so lonely; I wish I could go stargazing with him at night!”

“Get lost! Do you have any talent? Are you worthy? I’ll accompany Lin Gongzi, and can even play the flute and zither for him, be his personal maid!”

“Haha, and you think playing the flute is proper, I’m embarrassed to expose you!”

…

These female disciples suddenly argued, faces flushed.

But in the next second, they shivered and bowed their heads.

Because Ji Yue’er’s cold purple eyes swept over them.

Who do you think you are?

If anyone is to get close, it will be me first. What are you?

Then, her heart faintly ached, and she resolutely whispered.

“Brother Ao Tian, I’m sorry, Yue’er didn’t know you were so lonely. From now on, no matter what happens, Yue’er will always be with you, accompany you through this road, watch the rise and fall of the Dao, look back at the ages!”

“As long as Brother Ao Tian needs, Yue’er will always be here!”

At this moment, she felt regretful.

Regretting not awakening her memories sooner, so she could have accompanied Brother Ao Tian earlier.

“And me!”

Ji Bo stood straight, looking into the sky.

After adjusting his breath, he gradually recovered from his injuries. Though his face was pale, there was an inexplicable excitement.

“I, Ji Bo, also wish to accompany Lin Gongzi on this journey!”

He laughed at himself.

“Before, I couldn’t see clearly and thought the Jiang family’s Divine Body could compare with Lin Gongzi. Seeing him today, what is Jiang Bufan?”

“How could he be compared with Lin Gongzi?”

No one among the Ji family disciples dared to respond.

And Ji Yue’er’s face turned cold.

“Go back and heal!”

“Are you not ashamed enough?”

She couldn’t even call him by name.

Although he was her close cousin.

“Younger sister, why say such things? I genuinely want to follow Lin Gongzi!”

Ji Bo smiled bitterly.

Ji Yue’er’s face darkened, ignoring him.

And the young disciples of the Ji family couldn’t help but want to laugh.

…

In the shadows.

Ji Daotian remained calm, his ancient eyes like an untouched well.

Who knows what the old guy was thinking.

He murmured, “Invincible in the world… standing alone in the river of time… what grand ambition.”

Who in this world dares claim invincibility, who dares say undefeated?

Even the ancient emperors who dominated the universe millions of years ago have long turned to dust.

But Ji Daotian’s tone bore no ridicule, only some lamentation.

When Ji Yue’er’s voice sounded.

A smile appeared on Ji Daotian’s face.

He had been hesitant, though Lin Ao Tian’s talent was monstrous, one couldn’t make choices based on talent alone. He didn’t want the Ji family to live in constant fear of someone akin to a tiger.

But today, Lin Ao Tian’s actions didn’t match the reports, reassuring him somewhat. And Lin Ao Tian’s words earlier touched him, growing fond of the child not just because of any benefits.

At this time.

He also heard Ji Bo’s voice from the stage.

Next second, his old face twitched.

“Damn it, I’ll hammer your father first. What kind of crappy name is that!”

His figure quickly disappeared.

…

Beside.

A blue-clad youth stood silently, ignored by everyone.

Then, he turned to leave.

His back appeared desolated.

Clearly, those words had a significant impact.

But Ling Feng did not consider being acknowledged by Lin Ao Tian an honor.

Instead, he felt humiliated!

It’s not Lin Ao Tian!

He believed he was the invincible one!

Those northern region geniuses who came with him did not move.

Nor did Tuoba Chenbo.

They quietly watched him leave.

Ji Yue’er also didn’t care about his departure, since Brother Ao Tian had spoken, let him be.

Soon.

Ling Feng walked out of the Ji family’s vicinity, not knowing where to go next.

…
