Chapter 469: The Path To Heaven
Xiang Yu was deep in thought.
He glanced to the side where Li Yao was. “This girl…” he shook his head.
She had grieved for just a few seconds before going back to her usual antics. Now she was tying up his main body. As he observed this, he suddenly felt a tremor throughout the world.
“What is this?” he wondered.
He expanded his awareness over the world and saw it.
“No way,” he thought. The sage was actually breaking the heavenly dao barrier.
But it hadn’t even been that long yet. Why was everything suddenly falling apart?
He smiled nervously. He had sage grade formations throughout the world below the heavenly dao protection barrier. The sage shouldn’t be able to overcome this, right? His confidence was going down with every passing moment.
At that moment, the Empress appeared. She looked at Li Yao who was lifting her senior brother and Xiang Yu who watched the world barrier nervously.
[Did something go wrong?] she asked.
Xiang Yu sighed. “Yeah.”
The Empress watched him. It had been long since she had seen Xiang Yu like this. She glanced at his main body, then let out a sigh.
[If you want, I can…] she began, but he stopped her.
“It’s okay. There is still the barrier…” But before he could finish the statement, the barrier shattered.
[You were saying…] the Empress spoke, her body forming around her soul. She looked at herself. She had finally recovered her body which she wanted so much. Even so… she glanced at Li Yao.
Xiang Yu appeared before her. “Don’t worry, you still have me who is in the martial peak realm. I should be able to fight against the sage. Besides, even if you two merge, you’ll just reach the second path of the sage realm,” he explained.
Xiang Yu then floated up, appearing at the peak of the world and finally stepping outside of the world for the first time. He looked at the sage before him. She really looked just like his wife.
He thought to himself that he needed to draw her away from this planet. If the two of them sages fight here, it will be dangerous.
She looked at him. “Senior brother?” she called out.
“No, a clone,” she spoke as she suddenly appeared next to him.
“Such speed!” Xiang Yu panicked.
This is dangerous.
He stopped time before teleporting her a few light years away and following.
…
Some time earlier, Sage Li Yao was still focused on deconstructing the heavenly dao protection, humming cheerfully about her senior brother when suddenly, she paused, her expression turning serious.
“Senior brother is in danger,” she thought. “I have to save him,” she said aloud.
She looked at the heavenly dao protection before her.
It was preventing her from saving her senior brother.
What should she do? As she was wondering this, a number appeared in her vision. “This is…” Memories came flooding back. She remembered – it was a unique ability of hers, “the path to heaven.”
It was a unique ability that allowed her to calculate probability.
Wait, the fact that she could use this meant…
[That’s right, I’m finally awake] a voice appeared in her head.
“The fake personality is taking over,” she thought, gritting her teeth.
[What fake personality? I’m clearly the true personality] the sage of causality thought, but she sighed. It was no use talking to this girl. She was lucky to escape suppression when the girl’s emotions got unstable. She should use this chance to escape.
[Anyway, I can help you save your senior brother. Just hand over the body to me] she said.
“No.” Li Yao’s response came instantly.
The sage was taken aback. [What? Don’t you want to save your senior brother? I know a way] she urged.
“No. I won’t give you the body. But you will tell me,” she said with a determined expression.
“This girl… doesn’t she know who has the upper hand here?” the sage wondered.
[Hmph, why would I tell you] the sage spoke.
Li Yao raised her hand and stabbed it right through her abdomen, causing blood to come gushing.
[What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to threaten me with my body?] she asked. [You are also in it, stupid. If the body dies, we both die] the sage explained.
“So what? It’s just dying. I don’t care,” Li Yao responded, preparing another attack.
This girl was really crazy, the sage thought. [What about your senior brother? Who will save him if you die?] she asked.
Li Yao began laughing maniacally.
“I can’t live in this world without senior brother. I love him so much I want to die. I’m sure it’s the same for senior brother. He must be sad that he isn’t with me and has decided to end his life. I’ll do the same. We made a promise to always find each other in each lifetime. Even if we die, it doesn’t matter. This is liberation. In the next life, me and senior brother won’t be so far apart. We’ll finally be together. Ah, me and senior brother together. Just thinking about it. Aaaahh, I can’t help it. I’m really going crazy,” she spiraled as energy gathered on her body, ready to blow herself up.
“I wonder how death feels. I can’t believe I’ll share death with senior brother. It makes me feel strange inside. I like this feeling…” she continued mumbling incoherently.
[What the hell] the sage was shocked beyond words.
What mistake did she make in her past life to end up with such a messed up clone?
If this was just a portion of her personality, then what was her true self like?
No, she needed to forget about using that clone to enter the final realm of the sage realm.
Not just that, she needed to forget about making the clones altogether. As she thought of this, she saw her body about to reach a critical point.
[Wait, stop… I will let you save your senior brother. Don’t destroy the body] the sage shouted.
When Li Yao heard this, she calmed down slightly, the self-destruction aura subsiding.
“Hmm, meeting senior brother now is better than in death. As much as I’d like to die with senior brother, it might take a long time before we can meet. I can’t stand having to wait nine months just to be born and another couple of years to gain enough strength to look for him.”
