Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Chapter 1371: Chapter 1054: The Deal! God’s Past (Monthly Ticket Bonus 2)

As numerous questions arose in Jiang Dali’s mind, a unique transmission suddenly emerged within his spirit, making him instantly understand that the other party had already perceived the doubts in his heart.

This meant that at that moment, his emotional fluctuations had been captured by the other’s spirit. This extraordinary spiritual power indicated the other party’s extreme mastery in spiritual cultivation.

In an instant, Jiang Dali had already guessed the identity of this woman.

”It’s her... Bai Suzhen!”

”Indeed, my name is—Bai Suzhen.”

The woman quietly turned half her body and slowly lifted her head, revealing a delicate face.

But the most captivating was not her face but her beautiful eyes, eyes that perhaps even the world’s finest gemstones would pale in comparison to.

Even someone like Jiang Dali, who possessed steadfast resolve unaffected by beauty, was momentarily captivated by those eyes, feeling as though he glimpsed three parts desolation, six parts despair, and one indescribable ray of mesmerizing dim light, infused with mystery and deep melancholy.

Jiang Dali’s heart quaked, quickly regaining clarity, his brows furrowed in question, ”So you’ve always been here at the base of Leifeng Tower. Where were you hiding before? I never discovered you.”

”This is my home, why would I need to hide? It’s just... you never ventured to my home.”

The girl in white said softly, her voice calm and measured, tinged with mystery and an indescribable sorrow.

Jiang Dali immediately thought of the magma that flowed directly to the Earth’s core at the base of Leifeng Tower, and then the outermost 72 stone grotto entrances, afraid there were many pathways leading elsewhere, possibly to a deeper underground world.

Therefore, the reason he hadn’t encountered her was because she had always been living in other corners of the underground, perhaps observing him for a long time.

Understanding this, Jiang Dali nodded slightly, then frowned and said, ”Regardless of whether this is your home, you must be aware of what’s happening now at the base of Leifeng Tower. I’m truly puzzled as to why you didn’t stop them from taking the Divine Stone. Also, Evil Emperor Xie Tiao’s primordial spirit has endured all these years and can now revive, likely due to your influence, right?”

The young girl in white suddenly chuckled, her smile bemused yet icy, and said, ”Isn’t the news of the Divine Stone something you released?”

Jiang Dali started, then slowly unclenched his tightly held fist, revealing a slight bitter smile.

Rarely did he show such a bitter smile in front of people, for he was usually in a strong position with confident control over the situation and a contemptuous disregard for his enemies, but at this moment, he could only show a bitter smile.

If he had known earlier that the alms bowl was the Divine Stone, with such significant implications and terrifying power, he certainly wouldn’t have so brazenly announced it, preferring to hold it himself than reinforce his foes.

Unfortunately, even as a reincarnated guest, he couldn’t know this hypothetical possibility—in his previous life he hadn’t encountered such layers, so in this life, when facing it for the first time, the limitations in thinking inevitably led to misjudgments.

Yet from Bai Suzhen’s words, he discerned that she intended for the Divine Stone to remain outside, at least refraining from preventing it.

Bai Suzhen said, ”The Divine Stone has always existed here from the beginning. It was never meant to be discovered by anyone outside. It is the treasure of the heavens positioned here to prevent natural disasters.

Unfortunately, once the Divine Stone was discovered, it was destined never to remain here, for nature plays tricks on humans, and human greed knows no bounds—sooner or later, someone will take the Divine Stone away...”

Jiang Dali: ”So you didn’t stop outsiders from coming in to take the Divine Stone because you knew that stopping them would be useless. As long as there are people, this cataclysm is bound to happen eventually?”

”Exactly,” Bai Suzhen said calmly, ”No matter how I try to prevent it, as long as I can’t stop the greed in people’s hearts, as long as someone knows the power of the Divine Stone, there will always be someone wanting to take it away every waking moment in the years to come.

I can stop one person, a hundred people... I can prevent it for a year, a hundred years, but eventually, I will have a moment of oversight, and that moment will be the day disaster strikes. So, why should I burden myself? I don’t need to live so exhausting a life.”

”What you say makes a lot of sense. If I were you, I might do the same.”

Jiang Dali crossed his arms, contemplating deeply, nodding slightly.

Bai Suzhen was taken aback.

This time, she was genuinely surprised.

Originally, she had observed this person for many days, seeing him anxious and frazzled in his efforts to prevent the calamity, believing that within, he was a kind, responsible, and compassionate person. She expected him to explode with rage, angrily rebuking after hearing her perspective.

Yet unexpectedly, he actually agreed with her view.

”You actually approve of what I said?”

”Of course!”

Jiang Dali laughed as if it were obvious, ”I originally thought about retrieving the Divine Stone to continue preventing the catastrophe, but later I changed my mind. Why stick to the plan and keep the Divine Stone here? Let others get news of the Divine Stone again and come to take it—wouldn’t I then have to rush again to find the Divine Stone?

I don’t want to be that tired.

Instead of placing my hopes on the heavens, or on others’ greed or lack thereof, I prefer to place hope in my own hands. I’ve always believed that man can conquer heaven, so I would rather spend manpower and resources to directly seal the so-called Yellow Spring Tears and Hellfire beneath Leifeng Tower, making it a one-time solution. Wouldn’t that be great?”

Bai Suzhen was stunned for a while, and then suddenly shook her head with a slight smile, ”You’re definitely not an ordinary person. I’ve been observing you these days, yet I still don’t fully understand you.”

”Hmm—”

Jiang Dali crossed his arms, took a deep breath, and said seriously, ”Now that you know me, should I also get to know you? Rumor has it that you were fatally wounded by the Alms Bowl transformed from the Divine Stone, so why are you still alive? Are you really the daughter of the God from the God-searching Palace?”

Bai Suzhen smiled slightly:

”Though I’m alive, I’m as good as dead, because I can’t leave this place. Yes, I am the daughter of the one who calls himself God, but I would rather not be his daughter.”

”Why?”

”If you were destined to be used as a tool from birth, wouldn’t you rather never have been born into this world?”

”I can’t empathize, but I guess I might have that thought.”

”When God was eighty years old, he and his wife managed to have a daughter. Sadly, giving birth to this daughter consumed all of his wife’s Essence Qi, and she passed away shortly after. To commemorate his wife, he gave his daughter the same name—Bai Suzhen.”

Jiang Dali shook his head, pondered, and said, ”That name is indeed beautiful, but it leaves me... speechless.”

Bai Suzhen paused again, seemingly puzzled by the term ”speechless,” but with her strong spirit, quickly sensed its meaning and continued, ”Yes, the name became widespread because of a deceitfully beautiful story that I saved a completely white snake, which stayed by my side without ever leaving, thus, due to rumor and hearsay among people, the tale of the Snake Demon later emerged.

But that’s not important. What’s important is that God wanted his daughter to assist him in fulfilling his ambition to dominate the world, so he made her start cultivating the Heaven Shifting Divine Technique and Destructive Demon Body at the age of five. He wanted his daughter to always be by his side, as his right-hand in conquering the world, even to the point where she wasn’t allowed to have the privilege of love.

His daughter’s very existence from birth, including her name, her life, her tragic existence... was all a pitiful tool?”

”Indeed... hearing it from you like this, your entire life, from birth to death, has been controlled by your father, and it could be considered a tragically fated life.”

Jiang Dali nodded in deep agreement, but suddenly, a thought struck him—the Mud Buddha’s prophecy had said, ”Go beneath and find a tragically fated soul!”

The Bai Suzhen before him, wasn’t she tragically fated? Wasn’t she, as the Mud Buddha said, an already dead soul?

And her position being underground, wasn’t it exactly beneath?

Jiang Dali suddenly looked at the panel.

The panel’s task section still displayed the progress of ”Go beneath and find a tragically fated soul” as 0.

He was puzzled and looked at Bai Suzhen, who seemed lost in the sorrow of past memories, saying, ”Since you’re willing to see me now, it’s unlikely just to share your tragic story with me, right? What is your purpose?”

Bai Suzhen glanced at Jiang Dali’s towering and imposing figure, and unexpectedly said, ”I want you to get the Divine Stone and fight against God with me. For this, I can tell you the cultivation method of the Destructive Demon Body, and I can also give you a kind of power!”

”Give me a kind of power?” Jiang Dali questioned in confusion.

Bai Suzhen said calmly, ”The one who took the Divine Stone is Xiong Ba, and as a Heavenly Destiny Person, his fate is linked with heaven. Trying to snatch fate from heaven is not an easy task. That’s why God chose to give the Divine Stone to Xiong Ba, aiming to achieve some of his goals through him.

But I want to use your hand, to disrupt his plans. Your objective and mine do not conflict.”

Jiang Dali squinted his eyes, ”It seems you’ve been watching the happenings outside all along. Originally, you didn’t care who the Divine Stone fell to, but when you accidentally learned that God was involved, wanting to achieve some objective, you decided to act to sabotage it. Because you don’t want to see God doing well.

Indifferent yet caring, you women... truly are complicated.”

”Will you agree or not?”

”Agree, of course, I will! The enemy of my enemy is my friend! Moreover, a friend once told me, when a woman asks if you’ll agree, you better say yes. Otherwise, she’ll have a thousand reasons to pester you until you agree.”

”Your friend didn’t tell you that not all women are like that.”
