Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 322 - 159: Though Thousands Stand Against Me, I Go Forth

Chapter 322: Chapter 159: Though Thousands Stand Against Me, I Go Forth

Such scenes unfold continuously in this expanse of starry sky.

Fan Wubing stood here, unable to return to his senses for a long time. The momentum of the starry sky was so magnificent that it almost suffocated him.

When he finally came to his senses, a string of messages appeared before him,

["Tongue’s Desire" has digested a trace of the Power of Circulation, Circulation Dao insight improved]

["Tongue’s Desire" has digested a trace of the Power of Circulation, Circulation Dao insight improved]

...

Power of Circulation!

Circulation Dao!

One of the nine supreme Innate Dao, the Circulation Dao!

Fan Wubing’s heart was immediately stirred. Suddenly, he felt very confused, where was this place? It could actually be used to contemplate the Circulation Dao! He had never heard that there was such a grand place inside Great Li.

Suppressing the urge to observe the heavens, he ran across the plains.

This boundless plain seemed to possess a very mystical power, awakening Fan Wubing’s longing for freedom. He cast aside all distractions, like an unbridled wild horse, racing across the plains with abandon.

The sound of "Rain Dragon’s Celestial River Echo" echoed in his mind.

The feeling was so wonderful, making him reluctant to leave, completely immersed in this dreamy, enticing place that seemed like a fantasy realm.

The wind suddenly rose.

Fan Wubing’s clothes and long hair were lifted together. He stopped and walked slowly forward. Suddenly, a giant dragon soared into the sky. It was composed of qi and appeared illusory, but it was exceptionally massive. It was so huge that Fan Wubing couldn’t distinguish how far it was from him.

"This is... the Dragon of Destiny! The Dragon of Destiny of Great Li!"

There seemed to be something borne on the back of the Dragon of Destiny.

Fan Wubing gazed into the distance, expanding his senses to the fullest, trying hard to see what exactly the Dragon of Destiny was carrying.

It was,

The territory of Great Li! The Mountains and Rivers!

Mountains, the realm of the nation;

Rivers, the foundation of the people.

At this moment, Fan Wubing was utterly shocked.

The Dragon of Destiny was actually carrying the mountains and rivers of Great Li!

Of course, he knew this was just an imagery. But this scene, vast, heavy, eternal, and distant, like an unstoppable feeling rushing from the beginning of time, shook his spirit.

The Dragon of Destiny, carrying Great Li’s Mountains and Rivers and the Nation, flew towards the distant starry sky.

Higher and higher, farther and farther. Gradually disappearing from Fan Wubing’s sight, turning into a spot of light in the starry sky.

Fan Wubing watched the place where they disappeared, lost in thought, unable to wake up for a long time.

Until, a comet appeared in the deep space, rapidly falling toward the plains.

"No, that is not a comet! It’s the Dragon of Destiny!"

The Dragon of Destiny returned from the starry sky. No, its sorry state was not a "return," more like it was beaten back.

Why was this?

Fan Wubing gazed at the starry sky. Could there be something terrifying in the starry sky?

He could not understand.

It was simply too far from him, beyond the reach of his knowledge and insight.

Soon, the Dragon of Destiny, once again carrying Great Li’s Mountains and Rivers and the Nation, launched into the starry sky.

But, still failed.

Time and again, failure was the outcome. Yet it seemed to have a tremendous obsession, never showing any sign of retreating, wanting to reach the starry sky despite being covered in injuries.

Fan Wubing felt an overwhelming tide of emotion rising in his heart for no reason.

He particularly wanted to ask the Dragon of Destiny, why, knowing it would fail, did it still refuse to give up.

But he didn’t know how to communicate with that Dragon of Destiny.

This emotion brewed in his heart. It made him very uncomfortable, feeling like a lump was stuck in his throat.

Seeing that the Dragon of Destiny’s scales fell off completely, yet it did not give up. Its body had no untouched part, yet it firmly protectively carried the Great Li’s Mountains and Rivers and the Nation on its back, not allowing it to waver.

Fan Wubing took a deep breath and simply sat down.

Sitting under the boundless starry sky, on the endless wilderness.

As he contemplated the Circulation Dao, he attempted to communicate with the Dragon of Destiny.

He didn’t even know exactly how to communicate, so he repeatedly used the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill, sending his question to it, "Why don’t you give up?"

"Even though you are covered in scars?"

"Even though you gain nothing?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Even though you always end in defeat?"

Perhaps the Dragon of Destiny didn’t have self-awareness at all.

However, Fan Wubing was particularly persistent on this matter. He rarely acted this way. Maybe today he was overwhelmed by the grandeur, becoming more "emotional," not "rational" enough.

Time passed bit by bit.

Fan Wubing even forgot that he came here to find the third condition for the Heart’s Desire Trial.

He became so "pure." Purely wanting to know why the Dragon of Destiny was tirelessly striving. What in the starry sky attracted it, and what stopped it.

This might return to a fundamental question.

For a nation,

what exactly constitutes a "Dragon of Destiny."

National fortune? Power? The emperor’s heart? Governing principles? ...

Or perhaps, these together forged the "dragon"?

Fan Wubing did not know. He could only keep thinking.

He didn’t even notice that his Blood Bar, in such an environment, was continuously climbing at an extremely terrifying speed.

Each contemplation, each question, each breath,

[+500,000 points]

[+500,000 points]

It seemed he no longer cared about this.

"The Blood Bar is not my everything, rather I am the everything of the Blood Bar."

At a certain moment,

his spirit was shaken, he woke leisurely, whispering regretfully, "Time’s up..."

Abyss Prison Guard cannot exist in the fifth layer of space for more than six hours, otherwise, they will get lost within, never able to return.

He looked unwillingly at the Dragon of Destiny that was still trying.

The grand starry sky became even more majestic at this moment, pressing him so much that he could hardly breathe.

But, what else could he do?

Return.

Immediately afterward, he pulled himself together, encouraging himself in his heart, "The Dragon of Destiny never gives up in the face of failure, why can’t I?"

He took a long breath, laughed heartily,

"Though thousands of people, I will go!"

There are valleys in the chest, but not barriers.
