Blade of Time

Chapter 408 Destiny Runner
In the dean's office.

The old dean looked at Jiang Changye with a deep look: "Do you know why the destiny sequence is the most difficult to produce a strong one?"

Jiang Changye blurted out: "Because he has experienced few battles."

The old dean shook his head gently: "Because destiny requires the evolution of the soul, not the improvement of strength. And in our world, what we care about is always strength. No one wants to care about the soul, destiny... Naturally, not many people can Achieve a higher destiny.”

Jiang Changye lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "In the ancient world, I once encountered a special alien creature. His name was the Sweeping Monk, an old monk who swept the floors in the temple. He always said that Buddhism cleanses people's hearts and resolves violence. Angry. But in my opinion, he is the kind of person who can expose other people's shortcomings and create human weaknesses with one word."

The old dean smiled: "What an interesting adventure, it's a pity that you gave up."

Jiang Changye nodded: "Yes. I got a Buddhist understanding from him. My choice was to load and stabilize my secret model. But now that I think about it, it was a waste of natural resources."

The old dean said: "The reason why you think it is a waste is because you have experienced the baptism of the Annihilation Sect, which can also stabilize your model. The two functions overlap."

Jiang Changye shrugged: "Yes."

After thinking about it, he said: "The understanding of the law may be the necessary guide for us to reach higher levels, but I am still just a weakling and have to be down-to-earth."

"When you are still thinking about reaching a high level, the pursuit itself may fall into the lower realm."

"Well, that's how it is understood in Buddhism, but who can say that it must be wrong?" Jiang Changye asked.

The old dean chuckled twice: "Yes, who can say who is right? Maybe your pursuit is not wrong, but you still come here."

"I need your guidance!" Jiang Changye replied seriously.

The old dean shook his head: "You came to me only in your last reincarnation, which shows that you have already made plans. What you need is not my guidance, but my confirmation."

Jiang Changye said nothing more.

Seeing him like this, the old dean said: "Tell me about your experience."

So Jiang Changye talked in detail.

This was the only person he was still willing to tell the truth to.

He explained everything he had experienced, his encounters, his growth, his insights...

The old dean listened carefully until Jiang Changye finished everything. The old dean said: "So you now have six shadows of time and space, which are existences that can grow with you. Then you lifted the shadow of flesh and blood Restriction, having fourteen flesh-and-blood shadows that can exist for a long time, can grow, but can’t grow with your body?”

Jiang Changye was surprised: "I thought you didn't care about strength at all?"

"But if your opponent is an opponent who needs strength to solve, then you still have to face reality." The old dean said cheerfully: "You don't think I am a pedantic old man who only knows how to preach, do you?"

Jiang Changye shrugged: "Not really."

"Then I'll tell you, you're still one step away."

"One step left? Which step?" Jiang Changye asked confused.

During the period after returning from the ancient world, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

First, there was a lot of enlightenment loading, and then there was a lot of characteristic baptism, and he was promoted to Sequence 7, creating six space-time shadows and fourteen flesh and blood shadows. He also went through several rounds of attribute baptism. Both his perception and attributes have exceeded the limit of Sequence 7. Its growth is so fast and its pace is so big, far beyond imagination.

Now facing Jiang Hong, he can easily defeat him.

But the old dean told him that there was still one step left?
"Give up." the old dean replied.

Hearing this, Jiang Changye narrowed his eyes slightly: "Yeah, it seems it's time to give up."

He laughed softly as he spoke.

He stood up and bowed to the old dean.

The old dean said: "What? Are you planning to leave now?"

Jiang Changye replied: "I still have a lot of things to do."

The old dean looked at the chessboard seriously: "You said before that Kurumi Tokisaki told you that there was only one chance to look back?"

Jiang Changye was slightly startled: "Yes."

"You haven't used it?"

"No."

"Why?" "Because I don't think it's necessary."

"Really?" The old dean smiled: "We always feel that we already know a lot, it's normal and we understand."

As he spoke, he picked up the chess piece in his hand and slowly dropped it.

This chess piece was exactly where Jiang Zhu had fallen.

Jiang Changye watched without saying anything.

The old dean said: "Do you think you already know the truth?"

Jiang Changye smiled bitterly: "That's enough, Mr. Dean."

The old dean sighed: "So that's it. It's not that you think you already know everything, but that you don't want to know."

Jiang Changye took a deep breath, turned and left.

------------

Fenghuo Grand Theater.

Anne walked out of the theater, a cool breeze blew by, and Anne instinctively pulled her collar.

Then she saw that familiar figure.

Inexplicably, Annie didn't have the slightest fear.

She just looked at him coldly.

Jiang Changye came over and said, "Can you have a cup of tea with me? Lemon tea, if you like it."

Annie looked at him strangely: "How do you know?"

Jiang Changye put his hand on her shoulder naturally: "You are wondering. You wonder why you no longer hate me, and why you are no longer afraid of me. Do you think it is because of your memory? After all, it is just your diary. I tell you that you should hate me, but in your heart, you still have a strange expectation..."

The long street of Maple Leaf City.

They just walked side by side.

Annie was holding lemon tea in her hand and Jiang Changye's words were in her ears.

If it comes from the horizon, it will be far and long.

Finally, Jiang Changye stopped talking.

Anne murmured: "It's so funny...you said a bunch of incomprehensible words, but I feel like I can understand them."

Jiang Changye smiled: "I promised you that I would tell you the truth. But I thought simply. Some truths are not suitable to be told now."

He caressed Annie's face: "But sometimes, there is no need to explain things so clearly, just go with your feelings."

Annie felt his hand.

The enemy's hand touched his face, but it brought a sense of warmth and comfort.

That inexplicable trust made Anne feel a little flustered.

She shook her head and said, "No, that's impossible."

What is she denying?
What about that inner feeling?

Jiang Changye said softly: "Don't worry, everything will pass soon."

They didn't say anything more, they just chatted, but the hatred and estrangement they had in the past still turned into water without explaining the truth.

Annie stopped, looked up at the sky, and found that she was standing under the Purple Heart Building.

She murmured: "How long?"

Jiang Changye replied: "Now."

Then he drew his knife and stabbed Annie in the chest.
