Chapter 1743 Eternal Pill
Space.
“…Me?”
Jialan pointed at herself in confusion.
“Jialan is the backup plan?” Lin Qiye frowned and asked, “Why have you never mentioned this to me before?”
“To be precise, the backup plan is the [Immortality Pill] inside Jialan’s body,” the Monk of Destiny slowly explained. “Back then, the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord specially crafted a pill to resist this great calamity. Although it was later destroyed remotely by [The Key to the Door], two fragments with residual medicinal power were still preserved… namely the [Eternal Life Pill] and the [Immortality Pill].”
“I know all this already, so what’s your point?”
“Just half a pill, once swallowed, immediately grants god-realm level super defense and immortal super healing abilities… In a sense, this is the world’s first and last ‘artificial forbidden realm.’
Most importantly, after this pill is swallowed, it cannot be digested at all. This means that the so-called [Immortality] and [Eternal Life] are powers that the human body obtains from the pill, without being able to fully integrate them… Do you know why this is?”
“Why?”
“Because these two pills were never meant for human consumption from the beginning.”
Jialan was stunned. “Not for humans? Then for whom? Gods?”
“No, for it…”
The Monk of Destiny pointed somewhere, and both Lin Qiye and Jialan turned to look, their gazes focusing.
That shattered divine realm was struggling to stand on the moon.
“The Heavenly Court?”
“To be precise, the essence of the Heavenly Court,” the Monk of Destiny paused briefly. “And that pill wasn’t originally called the [Eternal Immortality Pill], its name was… [Eternity].
The Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord’s original intention in crafting this pill was to merge it with the essence of the Heavenly Court. This way, the Heavenly Court would become a freely movable super divine realm with both [Immortality] and [Eternal Life] properties, or rather… an eternal divine realm.
And the essence of the Heavenly Court would become indestructible, even possessing strong self-evolution capabilities.
If the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord had truly created the [Eternity Pill] and merged it with the essence of the Heavenly Court, then the Heavenly Court would have become the most powerful divine realm in existence! Even the Kingdom of Heaven under Yeland’s leadership back then couldn’t compare in the slightest.”
“Granting king-realm level abilities to the divine realm and its essence itself?!” Shock appeared in Lin Qiye’s eyes.
He knew the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord crafted this pill to resist the great calamity, but how a single pill could resist theClone systemgods… Lin Qiye didn’t know.
“[The Key to the Door] foresaw the future after the Eternal Heavenly Court’s appearance, so He was willing to pay any price to shatter it, and He indeed succeeded.
The [Eternity Pill] was split in two, with one part retaining the [Immortality] property and the other retaining the [Eternal Life] property, making it impossible for the Heavenly Court’s essence to absorb them. Thus, the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord’s ‘Eternal Heavenly Court’ plan failed.
But he didn’t completely give up. Instead, he stored these two pills in the Forbidden Land of Yaopool, letting the Queen Mother of the West safeguard them well. The rest… you already know.”
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder the Queen Mother of the West had such an ambiguous attitude toward these two pills, on one hand telling Jialan and others to protect them, while on the other saying that if they faced a crisis, they should destroy the pills rather than let them fall into enemy hands…
The [Eternal Life Pill] and [Immortality Pill] were indeed important trump cards for the Heavenly Court, but also bad cards. No one could guarantee they would be useful in the future, but they couldn’t just hand them over either.
“So, the backup plan you mentioned is…”
“Now the Heavenly Court’s essence is damaged, and its body is shattered. Once it can no longer suppress those things beneath the moon, whether it’s the Great Xia gods or human society, they will all be trampled by Them.” The Monk of Destiny’s voice was extremely heavy.
“The only way out now is to rebuild the Eternal Heavenly Court and completely suppress Them before all this happens!”
As the Monk of Destiny finished speaking, his eyes, calm like winter lake water, coldly gazed at Jialan.
“We need your [Immortality Pill].”
“But I can’t take out the [Immortality Pill],” Jialan said softly. “If I could, the Queen Mother would have taken it two thousand years ago, unless…”
Jialan seemed to realize something and froze in place.
“Unless you are refined into a pill,” the Monk of Destiny calmly completed the sentence.
Hearing this, Lin Qiye’s pupils suddenly contracted.
In the void, he violently grabbed the Monk of Destiny’s collar, his voice trembling,
“Do you know what you’re saying?!”
The Monk of Destiny seemed to have anticipated Lin Qiye’s reaction and showed no emotional change. “I do.”
“She is Jialan! My fiancée! We waited for each other for two thousand years, and finally reached this point… and now you’re telling me to refine her into a pill?!!!”
Lin Qiye’s roar echoed in the Monk of Destiny’s mind, and a powerful pressure suddenly erupted!
The Great Xia gods fighting around them didn’t know what was happening, but they saw two identical “Lin Qiyes” tearing at each other, filled with confusion.
“Who she is doesn’t matter… When playing chess, some pieces must be sacrificed, right?”
“She is not a chess piece!!!”
“Of course she is a chess piece! Did you think that by being clever and not giving her a white piece back then, she could stay out of this? From the moment you fed her the [Immortality Pill] two thousand years ago, she became a chess piece!
No matter how much you try to push her away, she can never leave this chessboard! This is her ‘destiny’!
The ‘destiny’ you chose for her with your own hands!!!”
Lin Qiye stood frozen.
In his mind, he quickly recalled that snowy day when he secretly put the Immortality Pill into Jialan’s mouth…
But what else could he have done then?
Watch Jialan die before his eyes? Or even if he barely saved her, watch her grow old and die over the course of two thousand years, turning to dust, never to meet again?
There was never any such thing as predestined fate. From the beginning, it was a predetermined cause and effect… in other words, destiny.
“Lin Qiye, you should be very clear about what kind of opponent we’re facing,” the Monk of Destiny’s voice calmed down. “Do you think the Cthulhu Mythos can be easily defeated by just one Li Yifei and a few human powerhouses who survived from the Western Han era?
To win this chess game, surprise tactics alone are not enough… Since we’re playing chess, the sacrifice of pieces is inevitable.”
