Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 628: Chapter 448: Something’s Not Quite Right_1

“From that moment on, you became an independent existence, no longer a shadow of anyone else, no need to agree, just outright refuse!” Jiang Hui said, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

His voice was not particularly loud, nor was his speech fast, and his face showed no change, but each word weighted heavily like mountains, and each one touched the woman before him, even bringing tears to her eyes.

In the memories she had, she had never been so intimately in contact with the opposite sex, nor had she ever been cared for so deeply. All of this was a first for her.

But this feeling of being cared for filled her heart, and sent a tingling sensation throughout her body.

“But after all, she created me, and between her and me lies an unbreakable karmic connection. This time, let me go; successful or not, it will bring an end to all debts and grievances with her!”

The woman in front of him wore a long dress, tall and slender with prominent features and skin as smooth and fair as fine jade. After sighing, it seemed as though she thought of something, and her expression suddenly turned firm and decisive.

“This is my karma, and if I do not resolve it, I might languish in it forever. I have an intuition that, barring any accidents, you, sir, are destined to soar to great heights, and I don’t want to be left in the dust. I wish to stay by your side forever!!!”

“The Willow God” spoke slowly.

This was the real reason she wanted to accept.

The woman before him was merely an imprint left by the Willow God, not the true Ancestor of the Sacrificial Spirits, yet in temperament and disposition, they were quite similar.

“Even if you make up for this karma, it does not necessarily mean you can keep up with my pace. Besides, you can always stay with me now!”

Jiang Hui opened his mouth, couldn’t help but pat the woman’s head, speaking in an indulgently fond manner.

He was thoroughly enjoying his life; immortal and indestructible, without fears of life’s usual declines, and his living standards were beyond measurement. To have such a peerless beauty by his side was a life enviable by many, no matter where you are.

Life is like a play, all about joy and pleasure.

Hence, Jiang Hui did not wish to be disturbed by anything.

Even if this person and his woman were one and the same.

“Sir, why would you say such a thing? Could it be that you look down on me?”

“The Willow God” pouted, somewhat disbelieving the first part of Jiang Hui’s words.

Although she was just an imprint, she inherited the original’s talents. Moreover, her true form had once been of the Immortal King Level, with the Immortal Emperor being the next step and the peak of all cultivation.

“We share honor and disgrace together; how could I possibly use the phrase ‘look down’ on you?”

Jiang Hui said with patience.

“Some things cannot be achieved merely through effort and talent. What realm do you think is the ultimate end for everything?”

“This goes without saying—it’s naturally the Immortal Emperor!”

“The Willow God” didn’t even think before blurting out her answer.

The Immortal Emperor, the ultimate boundary of all systems, the true end of the path, the highest level known in the evolution journey, the revered title of Supreme of Immortal Dao, and the realm that she aspired to reach. At that point of the evolutionary system, it was not possible to make any further progress.

Reaching that realm would mean that time and the universe could not bury you, and you’d possess an Emperor’s field, transcending reincarnation, able to trace back in time and confine your enemies in the silent void of time. Known as the highest existence among all heavens, this level, even beyond all heavens, seemed unbreakable, terrifyingly boundless, where a single thought could, even in death, bring one back to life.

“But what if I told you that the Immortal Emperor is merely the endpoint of the Immortal Path Field, not the end-all-be-all, would you believe me? I can tell you straightforwardly that the mastermind behind the dark catastrophe experienced during the Ancient Immortal Era was an Immortal Emperor, yet he was nothing more than an insignificant ant, suppressed on the spot by a single drop of blood from some being!”

Jiang Hui spoke slowly, his pace still calm, as if he was narrating something utterly mundane.

It was just his way, that even the most extraordinary events, when spoken by him, seem to have a certain sense of possibility.

Of course, talk is talk, but when it came to action, Jiang Hui was absolutely on par with a Demon King!

“Mr. Jiang, are you toying with me?”

“Willow God” opened her mouth, willing to believe what Jiang Hui said. Even if he lied to her, she would listen willingly and even believe, but on second thought, what Mr. Jiang said was a bit too arcane, which left her feeling overwhelmed, unsure of what to do!

The most important thing was.

How did her man come to know the source of the dark calamity?

After all, her true form had risked life and limb to step into the Primitive Gate alone, seeking not just a method to advance from King to Emperor, but most importantly, to investigate the root cause of everything.

But now, to hear such straightforward words from her man’s own lips, she found it very hard to believe.

“Given the nature of our relationship, why would I ever deceive you? As for whether or not you truly believe, you must come to your own conclusion. However, I can clearly tell you that above the realm of Immortal Emperor lies the Sacrifice Path, yet even the Sacrifice Path is not the ultimate endpoint. There are higher realms to seek; the way is endless. What you see as the end may only be the beginning,” Jiang Hui said with a smile.

He naturally guessed “Willow God’s” reaction. After all, she had not witnessed it firsthand, and he had no other solid evidence to offer. Such things were naturally hard to believe for anyone.

But he did not care whether the woman before him truly believed or not, as long as he had made his point.

“I can make it clear to you that, even if you enter that gate, neither you nor the true Willow God will gain anything. So, no matter what you say, I will not agree to let you go!” Jiang Hui said this last sentence with particular dominance.

“But…”

“There are no ‘buts.’ I am not discussing this with you. If you keep talking, believe me, I’ll lock you in the dark room!” Jiang Hui declared decisively.

Only if he had lost his senses would he agree.

Was the Primitive Gate that easy to enter? With death as a more likely outcome than survival, he had no intention of returning to the life of a bachelor, missing a warm bed beside his wife.

Hearing Jiang Hui say this, “Willow God” finally nodded.

For some reason, although sternly rebuked, she felt not the slightest anger but instead couldn’t help but feel somewhat complacent.

More importantly, she did not particularly want to step through that gate; she was quite content with her life as it was.

Seeing his woman finally dismiss the idea, Jiang Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he had not spoken falsely.

If she remained “obstinate,” he genuinely wouldn’t mind locking her in the small dark room for a few days – whatever it took to stop her. As for the method, during extraordinary times, it was not the moment to be particular.

“Mr. Jiang, I don’t know if it’s just my misconception, but why do I feel that you’re especially valiant and imposing today!”

“Willow God” said, smiling cheerfully.

“What are you saying? Was I not valiant and imposing before?” Jiang Hui raised his eyebrows slightly, for although it was a compliment, it somehow felt slightly off.

“Huff huff huff huff…”

Just then.

Suddenly, a disturbance arose in the distance.

Jiang Hui focused his gaze and saw that it was the Little True Dragon and the Three-legged Golden Toad.
