Chapter 336 - The Pool of Rebirth Reflecting Past and Present Lives
Matchmaker: “…”
In all her years as a celestial god, the Matchmaker had never encountered an undead like this.
Not only was he impolite to her, but he could also disregard rules and all living beings.
It was simply lawless!
Unfortunately, being sealed here, she had to abide by the rules of this place.
For those truly in love, she couldn’t lay a hand on them. At most, she could only symbolically display her aura.
“If even I could casually influence the life and death of all beings, then what would be the point of your existence?” Jiang Cheng coldly glanced at her, completely unimpressed by the Matchmaker’s identity.
To him, the Matchmaker’s terrifying pressure seemed nonexistent.
“This…” The Matchmaker was left speechless by Jiang Cheng’s words.
Because what Jiang Cheng said was the truth.
Jiang Cheng’s power was so weak, yet he could influence the life and death of all beings.
Then these celestial gods, beings who controlled the rules, weren’t even as good as a small undead…
What was the point of their existence?
But she still couldn’t understand why Jiang Cheng would have such thoughts. What experiences had shaped him into this?
Where did he get the confidence to speak to her like this?
“Is the life and death of billions not worth more than the time you two spend together?” The Matchmaker angrily questioned.
“If love is to be long-lasting, why worry about seeing each other day and night?”
“I think, with your level of power, you should believe in destiny,” Jiang Cheng spoke directly, knowing that someone of the Matchmaker’s caliber could hear him.
This question, however, left the Matchmaker puzzled.
“Of course I believe in destiny. Just like my current situation, isn’t it the result of destiny’s cause and effect?”
After saying this, the Matchmaker felt somewhat frustrated.
She had been sealed here for thousands of years, and had thought about going out to seek revenge on that unfaithful man.
But what depressed her was that being sealed here, guarding the trials of love, was her life’s destiny, which she simply couldn’t defy.
“Can destiny be reversed?” Jiang Cheng asked another question to which he clearly already knew the answer, making the Matchmaker a bit impatient.
“Of course destiny can’t be reversed. Otherwise, why would I be here?”
“Heh.” Jiang Cheng suddenly chuckled, “Since you believe in destiny, you should understand even more clearly.”
“Understand what?” The Matchmaker was confused and blurted out.
Jiang Cheng gently held A Silly Cutie’s hand and gazed at her before turning back to the Matchmaker. He spoke slowly,
“Without me, all beings would still die. If my existence can bring them calamity and cause their death, then being killed by me is their destiny, and killing all beings is my destiny.”
Matchmaker: “…”
What a statement – killing all beings is my destiny!
How arrogant!
In his eyes, were billions of lives really so meaningless?
What kind of person was this skeleton in his previous life?
To say such arrogant words?
It was unimaginable what kind of extraordinary figure could reach the point of disregarding all living beings.
The Matchmaker stared at Jiang Cheng, realizing she was completely outmatched.
She couldn’t kill him, and she couldn’t out-talk him either.
In thousands of years, this was the first time she had met such a difficult opponent.
“Destiny cannot be reversed. That’s what you said. If so, Little Cutie and I being together is the result of destiny.”
Jiang Cheng coldly glanced at her,
“Also, your duty is to open the gate of love for those in love. I advise you not to forget your responsibility. Everything else is none of your business.”
“Well said, none of my business.” The Matchmaker’s eyes were full of shock as she looked at Jiang Cheng.
“For so many years, you’re the first undead who dares to speak to me like this… No, even among humans, you’re the first. Do you know who I am?”
Jiang Cheng shook his head, his tone as provocative as ever, “Not interested in knowing. Just open the gate of love.”
Hearing this, the Matchmaker almost jumped in anger, wanting to pull out her 500-meter long blade to kill this guy, but she had no way to deal with Jiang Cheng.
Her face alternated between blue and red as she glared at Jiang Cheng.
But in the end, she could only sigh helplessly and say to A Silly Cutie with a sense of vicissitude,
“If only he had treated me like this back then, I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.”
The Matchmaker looked at A Silly Cutie with envy,
“Little girl, if you successfully pass the trials of love today, I’ll give you this engagement ring.”
As the Matchmaker finished speaking, she stretched out her arm and opened her palm.
In an instant, the entire love trial area was covered in a dazzling brilliance.
Ten thousand rays of rosy light flashed, making the entire trial area appear dreamy and intoxicating.
“Wow, what a beautiful ring.”
As soon as A Silly Cutie saw the ring in the Matchmaker’s hand, her little face lit up with joy.
Her pair of amber-bright big eyes sparkled with red stars.
“This is not an ordinary engagement ring. It’s a divine ring that has accompanied my thousand-year destiny. Although it has no other function, it can stabilize one’s mind, preventing loss of reason in moments of agitation.”
“I hope your determination is not just shown in words.”
After speaking, the Matchmaker put away the ring and suddenly raised her right hand.
“Crack… Crack… Crack…”
Immediately, behind her, a crack slowly appeared, opening into a stone door.
A Silly Cutie curiously stretched her neck, her cute little head peering at the scene behind the stone door, wanting to see what was inside.
But unfortunately, she couldn’t see anything.
“Let’s go in.”
Seeing her adorably curious expression, Jiang Cheng smiled heartily. Ignoring the Matchmaker’s murderous gaze, he pulled A Silly Cutie and stepped inside.
“Hmph, you really aren’t afraid of death.”
Seeing Jiang Cheng enter the trial without any hesitation, the Matchmaker’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
The trial she opened wasn’t an ordinary one.
In terms of difficulty, it was dozens of times harder than a normal trial.
It could be described as hell-level.
The challenges inside would definitely exceed their imagination.
Perhaps, with this skeleton’s feelings for A Silly Cutie, he could persevere.
But A Silly Cutie might not be able to.
When the time comes, she would definitely make Jiang Cheng come out and beg her!
“Whoosh… Whoosh…”
Two flashes of teleportation light shone, and suddenly a pool of water appeared before Jiang Cheng and A Silly Cutie.
Apart from a stone tablet with the words “Pool of Rebirth” written on it, there was nothing else around.
Pool of Rebirth?
A Silly Cutie suddenly turned her head, curiously examining Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng’s heart also stirred slightly as he stepped forward to look at the stone tablet.
“There are words on it.”
“Where, where?” A Silly Cutie excitedly bounced over, carefully staring at the words on the stone tablet, and read aloud,
“Two people in love should have no secrets from each other.”
“If you want your love to last till death, please embrace tightly in the Pool of Rebirth, and call out the name you most want to call each other in your heart in this life.”
“When the names are called out, the Pool of Rebirth will reflect everything from your past, even your previous lives and present life.”
