path, once desolate and deserted, was now bustling with people.Some were bare-chested, their bodies adorned with strange markings. Others wore woven garments of vines, with leaves still clinging to th...At the beginning, in the Maple Forest region, Wei Quji summoned the Underworld Lamp to lure the snakes out of their hole and slaughtered many disciples of the White Bone Cult.

Amongst all those relics of bone and dust, why choose a candle for the underworld

Actually, it wasn't Wei Qiji's choice, but rather his "being chosen".

After his soul had mostly recovered, Zhuang Chengqian chose this subtle way to re-engage with the world.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After the spirit candle was stolen by the Taoist disciples of the White Bone Sect, it briefly resided on Xiong Wen's body before finally taking refuge in Jiang Wang's Heavenly Palace.

It is explained that the spirit candle has always been movable, and Zhuang Chengqian has always had many options.

The problem is, there are so many people in the entire Maple Forest domain, why choose Jiang Wang specifically

It's not just Jiang Wang's perfect meridian opening, nor is it simply because of his cultivation talent.

Talent-wise, Wang Changji has already been chosen by the Bone God. Not to mention Zhu Wei and Zhao Rucheng, they wouldn't lose to Jiang Wang either, and they started even higher.

In the end, Zhuang Chengqian resolutely chose Jiang Wang, and there must have been his own reasons for doing so.

From the beginning, what he sought was not merely a perfect physical body, but a perfect substitute! A person who could truly embody him, be equal to him, and replace him.

Zhu Chengqian cannot be humble, he is a rare person in the world. It’s not that any talented seedling of cultivation can simply step into his place.

Compared to cultivation talent, what truly determined Jiang Wang's success in the battle against the Heart-Devouring Demon Bear was his quick wit, decisiveness, strength, and forbearance.

He wasn't completely lying to Jiang Wang; he genuinely admired him. And as time went on and he witnessed more choices, his admiration grew even stronger.

If he were still sitting on the throne of the State of Zhuang, if things were not as they are now, he would be very willing to cultivate Jiang Wang.

Back then, I casually absorbed the White Bone Seed and hid within Jiang Wang's Heavenly Palace. I stayed there until now, never wavering. Because in my eyes, Jiang Wang is already the best choice.

Lacking background, relying on no one, with exceptional cultivation aptitude, peak combat talent, and an extremely strong will.

What does he want

He wanted to confront the terrifying Void Devouring God, and to face the terrifying primordial technique that had plagued him for nearly two hundred years.

He is going to break the Bone Venerable God's plan.

He is going to use Jiang Wang as a hostage!

So why did he choose to reside in Jiang Wang's body for so long

Why would he, with his capabilities, wait until now to make a move

Because he needed time, he had to subtly influence this body, influence this young boy. It wasn't just about adapting to this youthful body, but also about making Jiang Wang...more in sync with him!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Only then can Jiang Wang be able to rob for him. Only when Jiang Wang is close to him, even equal to him, can she fill this life-less calamity for him and allow him to escape from the calamity of non-existence.

He did so many things and exerted much influence in Jiang Wang's Tiangong. Some were subtle and silent, like water nourishing things without sound, while others inevitably had to be done more hastily.

Even the bone-faced serpent who, back when they were in Yangdi, had already begun fearing death and seeking survival, why would they suddenly become foolish, staring blankly and straight ahead to find "Zhang Linchuan"

Because she was influenced by Zhuang Chengqian, she made some bad choices.

At that time, Zhuang Chengqian's only purpose was to take a look at the plague bell and understand the state of the White Bone Venerable.

But he knew the danger of plague, so he exerted influence to make Jiang Wang ignore this "trophy".

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Wang was so perceptive that this time, he single-handedly ignited all the suspicions, directly suspecting his existence.

He was originally going to accomplish everything subtly, but because of this incident, he had to step onto the stage and begin his efforts as the "Jiang Yan" persona.

Now, after years of hard work, the time for harvest has finally come.

He waited for the White Bone God, welcoming the day of calamity and strife.

To eliminate the struggle, he will be reborn!

After birth, there is an infinite world, a vast and boundless sky.

"You can't!"

Although Jiang Wang's soul was firmly held, he still struggled with all his might.

The flesh has already been taken, and the soul will be destroyed.

His struggle was feeble.

But he absolutely refused to be erased from existence, nor did he want to use everything he had to cover for Zhuang Chengqian's thievery!

"Don't you understand yet"

Zhuang Chengqian's will crashed against him, trying to shatter his confidence and crush his spirit: "You think you can stand against me for so long It was I who cultivated you, nurtured you!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“You think you've made a choice, constantly struggling against me. But in reality, it's because you're not enough. Your soul isn't resilient enough, your will isn't strong enough. You haven't fallen into the cycle of non-existence, you aren't worthy to fill the void. So I need to give you a chance, temper you, let you grow!”

“In the most desperate and agonizing predicament, one can forge a truly strong soul.”

“You think you’re a genius, you think those moments of brilliance are all your talent. But actually, they're all my arrangements! I let you choose, that's why you have those choices!”

"Who do you think you are, Jiang Wang You come from an ordinary background, with nothing special about your family. You have no master, no lineage. Naive and simple, childish and ridiculous, yet you think so highly of yourself! It is I who has brought you to where you are today!"

“I cultivated you, honed you, and influenced you. I linked your soul to my divine source, allowing me to replace you and you to replace me. In that sense, I didn't deceive you. You are me.”

"This is your honor, your reward. It's the only way for you to go from ordinary to great!"

Zhuang Chengqian's voice was like thunder, each word almost shattering Jiang Wang's soul.

But the boy's resistance never ceased for a moment.

"If..."

Jiang Wang mobilized all his divine soul power, resolutely resisting the tribulation. His divine soul roared, every bit of divine soul power roaring.

He struggled desperately, refusing to give up: "If it's really as you say, all these choices are yours. If I wasn't me, why would you choose me!"

"If you truly could control everything, why would you be left as a mere remnant, hiding within the candlelight Why would you need me to rob you Why wait until today!"

"It's simply astonishing, Jiang Wang. Your tenacity and resilience always leave me in awe." Zhuang Chengqian's soul responded: "You are, of course, exceptional. That's why you fought for more possibilities for yourself. And naturally, because of your excellence, you deserve to be my pawn, occupying the most crucial position in my game against the deities!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“With your exceptional abilities, you should understand this perfectly. At this very moment, you have no other options. And I, am willing to offer you another glimmer of hope. What do you say”

“Now, go and plunder well, strive against the plundering force. Let me free my hands to fight that demon god and overthrow him from his throne. Afterward, I shall be reborn in the mortal world, and you shall rise again in the underworld. You shall cultivate the path of the gods, and I can aid you, allowing you to become a divine being!”

Communication between souls, instantaneous and ever-changing.

This all sounds slow, but in the exchange of wills, it was completed in an instant.

The body hung suspended in the air, its entangled soul not yet completely fallen.

Of course, the White Bone Divine Venerable noticed the movement of Zhuang Chengqian's soul, but now the situation had changed. The Blood Puppet Demon was entangled with Her, preventing Her from coming over to disturb him.

"If you don't cooperate with me, you will be utterly destroyed, your soul and body annihilated, facing an eternity of non-existence. But if you cooperate well and after the plundering, there is still a chance for you to return to the path of gods."

"There's no other choice left, is there Perhaps you hate me, despise me, but compared to the weight of life, these emotions are insignificant! You're a smart person, you should know what to do, what the right choice is. I'm passing on a Shinto cultivation technique to you now. With your talent and aptitude, you'll surely master it quickly. It can help you endure longer in this era of nothingness."

Despite the significant power gap, Zhuang Chengqian wasn't worried about Jiang Wang's resistance. However, he wanted to motivate Jiang Wang to strive harder in the Nirvana Tribulation and provide him with greater assistance.

He occupied Jiang Wang's body, replacing his soul with his own, and even wanted Jiang Wang to work harder!

Man's heart is simply his plaything.

Du Ruhui boasted that he was like the River God, capable of managing people's hearts as water. But compared to Zhuang Chengqian, he still had a ways to go in his cultivation.

Under the immense pressure of divine might, he continued to spin his words like silk: "Don't you yearn to avenge those in Fenglin City within the underworld, to eradicate the remnants of the White Bone God Kingdom"

This is the end of a paragraph.

"At the very least, wouldn't you want to switch to studying Shinto and seek revenge on me later"

"Or would you rather remain here, forever doomed, watching me triumph"

Jiang Wang had been resisting, but there was no room for resistance at all.

The soul was easily held down, easily falling downward.

And to keep enduring being struck by Zhuang Chengqian, having his influence affect my will, and having him attack my core.

That ominous abyss, is drawing ever closer.

Like an endless, bottomless abyss, waiting for him, welcoming him.

At this moment, Jiang Wang's soul essence suddenly ceased resisting.

He calmed down.

This is the serenity that comes after trying everything and making the final decision.

“No, I have another choice,” he looked at Zhuang Chengqian, and said with an extraordinary calmness.

At this moment, his soul was down below, while Zhuang Chengqian's soul was above. Looking past Zhuang Chengqian's soul, he could see his own physical body.

Seeing the boy's eyes, which were once beautiful, clear, and calm... now vacant.

Just as his soul origin was being pressed into the Eye of Absolute Annihilation.

Soul shattering!

An utterly decisive, all-encompassing explosion.

So abrupt, so resolute.

Zhuang Chengqian's soul suddenly grasped forward, wanting to stop it, but Jiang Wang was too sudden, too straightforward, and too resolute, he couldn't stop it at all! He could only quickly withdraw before Jiang Wang's soul exploded.

"No!"

He couldn't believe it!

He couldn't believe that Jiang Wang would actually choose self-destruction, choosing to obliterate his soul and spirit, choosing never to be reborn!

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

The boy who fought him for so many rounds, who kept getting back up and fighting even in the most desperate situations, would actually choose self-destruction!

And with this choice, he cast him into the abyss!
