Chapter 895 You Might Not Be Able to Withstand It
"Is this the truth behind why justice remains dormant even though Zhi Dong openly raised the flag of rebellion?"
Ayaka Kamisato gently took Sora's hand, comforted him, and then asked Xu Ning for confirmation.
Xu Ning chuckled and looked up.
"That's natural. After all, as long as you don't violate the rules set by nature, even if you curse nature every morning before getting out of bed, no one will even glance at you. Of course, personally, I don't recommend you do that..."
Ayaka Kamisato rolled her eyes at Xu Ning, knowing she would never swear.
Even though Xu Ning had been so straightforward, there was still one thing that Kong couldn't understand.
"So, Brother Xu, what exactly are you trying to achieve by doing all this?"
Xu Ning chuckled and said, "Wasn't what I said obvious enough? The principles of Heaven are dying, but this world is still in peril. All we have to do is save this world..."
“No,” Kong interrupted Xu Ning decisively, “I’m just asking you, brother, do you want to replace Tianli and become the new king?”
Xu Ning was taken aback; it seemed he had never thought about this before.
"Haha, you've stumped me. I really hadn't thought about this before, but I really should, since we've come this far. Hmm... I've made up my mind, but... are you sure you want to know my answer?"
Looking at Xu Ning's smile, Ayaka Kamisato suddenly had a feeling that this answer might not be the answer she, or even Soryu, wanted to know.
She quickly squeezed Sora's hand hard, but Sora had already asked forcefully, "I'm sure!"
Xu Ning's smile slowly faded.
"I respect your choice."
Xu Ning spoke slowly and solemnly: "I can tell you my answer. I never thought of replacing Heavenly Principle, but I can become Heavenly Principle, or anyone can become Heavenly Principle... just don't let you sit in that position."
Eh? ?
It's not my business?
Kong looked astonished. He had guessed Xu Ning's answer, after all, he was quite familiar with his older brother's personality.
But I never guessed the last sentence.
"What do you mean by 'don't let me sit in that position'? I've never thought of that, nor do I have that ambition. And isn't it Zhi Dong who has always been defying the laws of nature? Aren't you and the Abyss the ones who want to destroy this world? I haven't done anything, so why does Big Brother think I would covet that position?"
"Because of fate."
Xu Ning said this casually, then started drinking his wine, losing all interest in conversation.
"I..." Sora wanted to say something, but Ayaka Kamisato and Kokoro tugged at his clothes at the same time.
Kong took a deep breath. "Brother, it seems you sent invitations to all the gods of the six kingdoms. Once everyone is gathered, I will ask them directly. If everyone agrees that we should go to war against the laws of heaven, I am willing to stand on your side..."
"...But I have already received the answer from General Thunder; she will absolutely not agree with your approach."
General Thunder?
Xu Ning's expression was somewhat strange, as if he couldn't help but want to laugh, but he covered it up by drinking.
"Alright, let's wait until all the earthly rulers are here before we talk. You can stay in Liyue for a few more days. As usual, my food and lodging are on me... I know you care about your image in front of your girlfriend, but don't be too quick to refuse. After all, you might not be able to afford the prices in Liyue lately."
