Chapter 325 Negotiations with Little Heavenly Dao
That night, exhausted and fast asleep, Shui Qingli suddenly had a dream in which she saw the person in white who existed in her memory!
Shui Qingli was naturally very shocked and looked extremely wary.
After all, a thousand years ago, it was this seemingly harmless person (god?) who easily injured him and sowed discord between him and Yue Yuanming.
From the information Qianqian revealed, he also learned the true identity of the man in white—Xiao Tiandao.
"You already know everything, don't you?" Xiao Tiandao's words sounded like a question, but they were spoken with an absolute certainty.
"So what if it is?!" Although Shui Qingli was extremely nervous, she still maintained her composure.
Xiao Tiandao probably didn't know about his rebirth, otherwise he probably wouldn't have waited until now to make trouble for him.
"I underestimated you after all. Even under these circumstances, you were able to awaken." Little Heavenly Dao calmly said the words that should have made Him grit His teeth.
Xiao Tiandao is not omnipotent after all. He can only classify Shui Qingli's change as "awakening"—a special case that deviates from the process he had prepared in advance.
Xiaotiandao said mysteriously, "But... do you really think you can change anything?"
"What do you mean?" Shui Qingli was also taken aback.
“Even if you possess prophetic abilities that others lack, you cannot change the course of this world, nor can you change the fate of everyone, or even…” Xiao Tiandao’s tone suddenly turned sharp: “You cannot change your destiny!”
Shui Qingli's expression hardened, and a sense of panic arose spontaneously upon hearing Xiao Tiandao's words.
Because it wasn't just Xiaotiandao who thought this way; even Yu Qingyan, the God of Destiny whom he had met before, held almost the same view.
Of course, what he found most unacceptable was the fate that Yu Qingyan described as almost unchangeable, and one that would come at a great cost even if changed.
But is fate really something that is predetermined from the very beginning?
Does he have to become that "protagonist," caught between lucidity and confusion, witnessing once again the fairyland's demise? Does he have to witness once again all the important people disappear and perish?
"From beginning to end, you only had two choices, didn't you?" Xiao Tiandao laughed contemptuously.
Ultimately, He still couldn't do anything to Shui Qingli, whether it was thousands of years ago or thousands of years later today.
But is it really necessary to use such violent methods to manipulate a fairy?
Xiao Tiandao thought, "I don't think so."
After all, a thousand years ago, he hardly exerted any effort to cause these two darlings of the world's consciousness to fall apart and turn against each other.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Shui Qingli's unease grew stronger.
"No comment." Little Heavenly Dao refused to continue communicating with Shui Qingli and with a wave of his hand, directly dispelled the dream he had created.
"You will come back and beg me." The moment the dream dissipated, Xiaotiandao's voice still came without sorrow or joy.
"Ah—" Shui Qingli woke up with a start. He had never felt cold or warm before, and a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Qingli, what's wrong?" Shui Qingli's commotion unsurprisingly woke Yue Yuanming, who was standing beside her.
Yue Yuanming hurriedly checked on Shui Qingli and found that he was only sweating profusely and was not injured.
After calming down a bit, Shui Qingli comforted Yue Yuanming, "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare."
"Nightmare?" Yue Yuanming was slightly surprised.
After all, in Yue Yuanming's view, fairies don't really need to sleep, and dreaming is even rarer.
Therefore, Princess Dream's abilities mostly come from human dreams.
"I have a feeling of unease..." Shui Qingli was still in shock and couldn't say anything.
But after he finally calmed down, he didn't know how to start the conversation.
The matter of being reborn and Qianqian must not be told to Yue Yuanming—this was something Qianqian had warned him about long ago.
As for that Little Heavenly Dao, both he and Yue Yuanming certainly knew him, and there was even a deep-seated hatred between them.
But how can I tell Yue Yuanming about these baseless and unknowable things? Is it really the right decision to let Yue Yuanming know about the "male protagonist," the "plot," and "destiny"?
Shui Qingli hesitated for a moment. Even if Yue Yuanming knew these things, could he really change anything? Or would he only be able to worry about him in vain?
After thinking it over, Shui Qingli chose to remain silent, only saying apologetically, "I'm fine, I just had a strange dream."
Yue Yuanming felt that something was off about Shui Qingli, but since Shui Qingli didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any further.
You always have to give the other person some space, otherwise if you push them too far, who knows if the same thing will happen again?
Of course, Shui Qingli and Yue Yuanming don't know now that some things, once unsaid, may never be said again...
