Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 292 - 157: Fifth Divine Ability, Psychological Counselor_3

[They are best at making you think you've succeeded, only to have you fall into an even deeper abyss of despair!]

Ji Jingqiu's expression turned serious as he took Hel's warning to heart, but he had no intention of changing his mind.

"Thanks for the reminder!"

[Why not make a wish to me? That way, even if you die at Their hands, I can still snatch you back!]

Lady La finally revealed Her fangs, the hidden blade now in plain sight.

Ji Jingqiu chuckled; he had no doubt that Hel could do it, but the outcome would be becoming completely subservient to Lady La.

This was hardly better than dying at the hands of the other Three Demons.

[Foolish mankind, go to your death!]

"Nephew, aren't you leaving?"

Ahead, Master Hong Hu called out to him; the spacecraft was ready.

Ji Jingqiu came back to his senses and quickly stepped aboard.

He couldn't skip this step.

Because the curse net woven by the Three Demons had harmed his True Self, it had to be cleared with no room for negotiation.

Similarly, for him, the Reverse Innate was the beginning of his own Newborn stage and Transformation.

After boarding the spacecraft, Ji Jingqiu suddenly received a message.

The surname was "Moro," from the group that had contacted him a month before.

He thought to himself, what's with today? One after another.

Skimming the message, the sender hoped he could help with two minor tasks.

The tasks were very minor, nothing but a mere effort, and the tone was very polite, hinting at the end that they had a way to escape Hel's gaze...

But Ji Jingqiu knew full well that these were all illusions; what seemed like trivial tasks now would keep escalating until they exceeded his limits.

And by then, himself, having crossed his own lines, might not refuse them anymore.

Working with these people was like stepping onto a path of no return, only sinking deeper, with no way back.

Ji Jingqiu thought that if he indeed got entangled by Lady La, and the Federation couldn't help him, and should his situation become public, he might even attract a "purge" from the Federation...

Tch.

To avoid being constantly harassed by them, he sent back a message.

"Thanks for the invite, just boarded the spacecraft, have given up, ready to wait for death."

...

Central area.

A tavern hidden deep in an alley.

Inside the tavern, the colorful lights are bizarrely beautiful, accompanied by intoxicating rhythms, many young men and women freely dance and "squander their youth" in the center of the dance floor.

A young man sat leisurely at the bar, browsing his terminal.

"Sir, what kind of drink would you like?"

A female bartender swayed her hips, standing inside the bar, and winked at him.

The man's smile was relaxed: "Then please make me your best drink."

"There's an extra tip in it for you," the female bartender's smile brightened several degrees.

The man before her was extremely handsome, not losing out to the celebrities on TV, and there was an indescribable charm between his brows, involuntarily making her lick her lips.

The man nodded with a smile.

Just then, the message alert on the terminal sounded.

The man's attractive eyebrows slowly raised, he even felt like laughing.

This response was a bit "cute."

Would a new generation Martial Arts Pride like Ji Jingqiu, with a promising future as a Martial Artist, really give up on his life just like that?

The answer was, of course, impossible.

It looks like he has quite an aversion to them... the following interactions would need some adjustments.

The man smiled faintly.

Yet his confidence and strategizing shattered with the sight of a photo.

In the photo, a young man stood in front of a porthole, with the vast universe beyond. The reflection on the window showed a face, besides the deadly stillness, there was also a trace of loneliness.

Dead stillness and loneliness...

The man's expression suddenly froze.

Ji Jingqiu was really leaving the Four Guardian Stars?!

He has already been afflicted by Hel, and trying to leave the Four Guardian Stars would only draw deeper scrutiny from Hel!

He was hastening his own death!

Did he not realize this?!

The man quickly sent this news to Ji Jingqiu.

A moment later, a reply came back:

[Autumn has arrived, I'm ready to return to my roots. I cannot determine my life or death, but at least I can decide where to die.]

[Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it, and don't contact me again. I'm blocking you.]

Further attempts to send messages were swiftly met with notification of being blocked.

The man's face suddenly turned ugly, darkening.

Is this kid serious?!

He's really just giving up?!

Although it seemed like there was no other choice... Would such a young Martial Artist with a bright future truly resign to this fate?

Shouldn't he fall gradually into the Sect's web as planned by him, step by step, descending into the abyss?

The female bartender, who had just brought the strong liquor, suddenly felt a chill, as if encountering her natural enemy, an oppressive and terrifying aura coming continuously from the handsome man in front of her!

Looking again, the originally handsome face now revealed distortion and grimness.

She glanced anxiously at the man beside her, stifling her fear, put down the drink hurriedly and left, not daring to approach anymore.

The man took a deep breath, adjusted his Mental Realm, suppressed the turbulent emotions, and put up with the nauseous feelings. He switched accounts and composed a stream of messages to Ji Jingqiu, attempting to boost his morale.

...

On the spacecraft returning to East Three Bright Star.

Ji Jingqiu stood before the porthole and saw his own fully prepared reflection in the window.

Just like himself four months ago when he was heading to the Four Guardian Stars.

This flight would take five days to reach East Three Bright Star. During this time, Ji Jingqiu planned to use it to try and touch the barrier of Pan Ding!
