Looking at Jiang Chen’s unyielding resolve, Shen Yuanjun’s body trembled; he slowly tilted his head back and drew a deep, ragged breath. Beside him, Cang Ming and the Holy Lord Taihuan slowly closed their eyes. They understood what that kowtow from Jiang Chen represented and what it portended.
If they agreed to his request, they would have to watch him die—watch his very existence be extinguished—and forever lose a friend whose integrity and nobility were rare indeed. After all, given the tactical formation of the battlefield outside, with dozens of supreme powerhouses and ancient ancestors joining forces, Jiang Chen and the Dark Heavenly Dao had almost no chance of victory, nor even a path to escape. Yet, by forcing their hand in this manner, Jiang Chen had placed them in an impossible dilemma.
"Child," the Holy Lord Taihuan said suddenly. "She is not merely the Dark Heavenly Dao. You should know she possesses another identity; even if she were to perish in this battle, it would merely be a reincarnation, a chance to begin anew. But you are different. Not only do you risk your Ultimate Golden Body and all the cultivation and fortuitous encounters you have gained in this life, but you may very well lose the chance for reincarnation forever."
