Chapter 701: Big Mistake

Hai Changsheng’s words may be confusing to others, but Jiang Yun’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard them.

Among the strongest four beings in the Mountain-Sea World, apart from the Samsara Hell Master, the other three are of the demon race.

And Fang Mang and Hai Changsheng, these two powerful monsters, happen to represent the mountain and the sea respectively!

The three monsters are all vying for control of the Mountain-Sea World, each wanting to become the ruler of the Mountain-Sea World.

However, after Jiang Yun’s interactions with the three monsters, it was not difficult to determine that Tian Dao possessed the strongest power, followed by Hai Changsheng, with Fang Mang being the weakest.

Now, when Hai Changsheng mentioned merging the mountain and the sea, although Jiang Yun was unsure of his exact intentions, it seemed like he wanted to collaborate with Fang Mang, or even support Fang Mang.

Hai Changsheng continued, "Since you seem determined, I might as well assist One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains, as a way to make amends for my actions in the Mountain-Sea World!"

Considering Fang Mang and Jiang Yun’s relationship, if Hai Changsheng were to assist Fang Mang, it would indeed be a great help to Jiang Yun.

When mountains and seas are separated, they cannot resist the will of nature. But when mountains and seas come together, even though they still can’t resist, at least they will be evenly matched!

After thinking about it in his mind, Jiang Yun didn’t immediately respond, but asked, "Why?"

"You make a promise to me!"

"What promise?"

Hai Changsheng looked at the unconscious Hai Yixue and said, "Take care of my two daughters for me!"

The light in Jiang Yun’s eyes suddenly became brighter.

It’s no wonder that Hai Changsheng knocked out Hai Yixue because his words implied entrusting his daughters to her care.

Hai Changsheng continued, "From the day of my enlightenment, I have been pursuing power, seeking strength, chasing after the invisible and intangible path."

"It wasn’t until I met her, met this woman, that I truly understood the meaning of life!"

Hai Changsheng looked back at the beautiful woman in the coffin, and a hint of regret showed on his face.

"Even so, I still pursued power and the path relentlessly, which led to me losing her in the end."

"In my pursuit to revive her, my craving for power became crazier, leaving me no time to spend with my daughter. Even when she was beside me, she refused to call me father!"

"Now, I finally understand that I was very, very wrong!"

"In truth, they are the most important people in my life, the path I should have followed!"

"If time could turn back, if I had a chance to start over, I would give up everything, even become a mortal, just to be by their side."

Hearing Hai Changsheng’s words and seeing the regret on his face, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but close his eyes.

Though Hai Changsheng didn’t directly answer his question, it was clear to everyone –

Hai Changsheng had already decided on death!

Jiang Yun opened his eyes and said, "Even though things may not be perfect, at least you can still be with your daughter!"

Hai Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "Do you know why I couldn’t resist Yue Qing, but still insisted on not letting you go to that place called Dao Prison with him?"

Before Jiang Yun could reply, Hai Changsheng continued, "Because my time is running out, so I am prepared to go with him to the end!"

Jiang Yun’s special feeling suddenly covered Hai Changsheng, but Hai Changsheng waved his hand and said, "No need to check, my injuries are not that serious."

"But…" Jiang Yun started to say, but then suddenly stopped, because he understood.

Even though Yue Qing’s attack on Hai Changsheng was devastating, it only destroyed the Boundary Sea covering Wushan Island, without harming Hai Changsheng’s core.

Losing half of his powers wouldn’t directly affect Hai Changsheng’s life, but it would lead to his ultimate death soon after.

The one who would kill him, would be the will of the heavens!

The three powerful demons, while the strongest under the heavens, wouldn’t find it easy to eliminate Fang Mang and Hai Changsheng as the heavens wished.

Therefore, the three powerful demons, along with Samsara Hell Master, stood strong, and none dared to attack each other easily.

Fang Mang once said that the reason the heavens did not stop Hai Changsheng from triggering the Calamity of the Mountain-Sea World was because they wanted to watch from afar.

Now, with Samsara Hell Master missing, Fang Mang in a deep slumber, and Hai Changsheng losing half of his powers, it was a great opportunity for the heavens.

If they first defeat the wounded Hai Changsheng, then kill the sleeping Fang Mang, the entire Mountain-Sea World will bow to them alone!

Knowing Hai Changsheng’s nature, instead of letting the heavens kill him, he decided to sacrifice himself to save Fang Mang.

However, he was worried about his daughter, so he hoped to exchange Jiang Yun’s protection of Hai Yixue for his own sacrifice.

Jiang Yun pondered, "Is there no way to heal your injuries?"

"Give me ten years, and I can return to my peak condition," Hai Changsheng replied with a smile on his face.

Jiang Yun remained silent, knowing the heavens wouldn’t give Hai Changsheng ten years. To heal him, only experts like Yue Qing and Dao Lianer would be able to help.

Yue Qing didn’t need to think anymore. Jiang Yun said, "I will help you ask Dao Lianer for help. Maybe she has a solution."

"No!" Hai Changsheng shook his head and said, "I won’t fight you, and besides, I am tired. It’s time to let go of everything and spend time with her."

Indeed, if Hai Changsheng insisted on becoming The Demon of Mountains and Seas and continued to try to save his wife, he would have to kill Jiang Yun.

But Jiang Yun was the man his daughter liked. How could he possibly kill Jiang Yun and make his daughter regret it?

Although Jiang Yun finally understood Hai Changsheng’s intentions, he still shook his head and said, "I can barely take care of myself, how can I take care of your daughter?"

"I trust you. You won’t be trapped in that Dao Prison forever. One day, you will come out and return to this Mountain-Sea World. Before that happens, I will send Yixue to Fang Mang."

Hearing Hai Changsheng’s confident tone, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but smile bitterly and ask, "Why do you have so much faith in me?"

"Let’s not talk about that. Just tell me, do you agree or not?"

Looking at Hai Changsheng, Jiang Yun fell into silence.

At this moment, Jiang Yun was really unsure how to judge Hai Changsheng’s actions, and he didn’t know whether to thank him or be angry at him!

The Spirit of the Boundary Sea may have killed millions of creatures, but everything he did was to save the person he cared about the most.

Maybe Jiang Yun couldn’t accept this way of doing things, but if one day he faced a similar situation, would he act like Hai Changsheng?

Jiang Yun didn’t know the answer to this question, and he didn’t want to know.

Finally, Jiang Yun solemnly said, "I promise you, as long as I’m alive and can return to the Mountain-Sea World, I will do my best to take care of Hai Yixue, and I will find Xue Qing too!"

Hai Changsheng was relieved to hear Jiang Yun’s words and said, "Jiang Yun, you are a good child. Qing’er was right about you. If it wasn’t for all this… maybe one day, we would become…"

Although Hai Changsheng’s words were vague, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but think of the illusions he had just experienced and the curtains he had lifted in the illusion.

"Alright, child, don’t worry. I will fulfill my promise after you leave. I won’t see you off. I hope you return safely soon!"

With a wave of Hai Changsheng’s sleeve, Jiang Yun suddenly felt light and drifted back to the Seeking-Tao Sect.

Yue Qing, who had been waiting impatiently, saw Jiang Yun and asked coldly, "Can we go now?"
