Dethrone me, I don't want the throne anymore, why are you so angry?

Ye Yu didn't feel anything about this treatment. At this moment, his eyes were on the main seat.

There are ten stone pillars there.

There is a ball of light on each stone pillar, and inside the ball of light are the prizes for this freshman competition.

And in the ball of light on the highest stone pillar in the center, there is a copper piece that exudes an ancient atmosphere.

The moment he saw the copper piece, Ye Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. This is not a fragment of the Xu Tian Ding!

Instead, it's more like a key.

However, the aura it exudes is no less powerful than that of the Xu Tian Ding.

"What do you think of that thing?" The voice of Ding Ling sounded in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, then responded in his mind: "This is not your fragment, but it is definitely not an ordinary item. Is it the key?"

Ding Ling was silent for a long time before he spoke softly, "As expected, you have taken a different path and become a variable."

"What do you mean?" Ye Yu asked.

"Want to hear a story?" Ding Ling's voice sounded again.

Ye Yu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Are you sure you can tell me?"

Ding Ling did not answer, but began to tell the story.

"In ancient times, the human race gradually rose to prominence amidst the suppression of the royal family. Three individuals stood out among the human race, representing the most powerful fighting force of that era."

"The three of them joined forces to suppress the royal family. Everything was originally looking up, but during the final battle with the royal family, cracks appeared in the relationship between the three."

"The betrayal of the human race caused a change in the three people's philosophies."

"One chose to escape and hide from the world, while the other two eventually evolved into two different paths, one to become an immortal, and the other to become an emperor."

"Both of them firmly believed that the path they had taken could lead to supreme achievement, but in the end, the one who took the path of the emperor was the one who succeeded."

"The word 'Emperor' means supreme, which means controlling everything. Everything is under control. This power was later called..."

"Destiny."

Hearing this, Ye Yu was shocked. Ding Ling would not mention this matter to him for no reason. So there was only one answer, that is, the copper piece in front of him was related to the Emperor.

"Once the imperial power was unleashed, it swept across the world, suppressing all the royal families. To prevent further betrayal, that person used the Fate Chain to lock everyone's path, and used this power to train one person after another to control the imperial power."

"These people are called the Chosen Ones."

"However, this approach caused dissatisfaction among another person. He felt that this approach was too arbitrary and that no one's path should be fixed. Doing so, in the long run, would only gradually weaken the power of the human race."

"When a group no longer shows signs of change and no stronger individuals emerge, it is destined to be lost in the long river of time."

"He believes that the truly powerful shouldn't interfere too much with the paths of others. Transcending the mundane world and pursuing the path of immortality is the true path."

"But he lost. He was defeated by Emperor Li because he could not transcend the mundane world. From beginning to end, he never embarked on the so-called immortal path."

"This incident reminded that person that without struggle, a strong person would not be born. So that person gave him a chance, and thus the Fate-Defying Man was born."

After hearing Ding Ling's words, Ye Yu's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that the people with destiny and those who defied fate would come like this.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Yu said, "So, you are the one who wants to leave the immortal path?"

"No, I'm the one who ran away." Ding Ling's face was lonely. "According to his immortal philosophy, he will not interfere with anyone's choice. He will only stand outside the world and observe everything silently until... variables appear..."

"What do you want to do by telling me this now?" Ye Yu asked.

"I want to know, if it were you, which path would you choose, the immortal path, the emperor path, or escape?"

Ye Yu could sense Ding Ling's urgency from her tone. After a long pause, Ye Yu sneered and said, "From the moment my throne was abolished, the path to becoming an emperor was destined to be out of my reach."

"Whether it's the path to becoming an emperor or an immortal, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to protect myself."

Ding Ling was silent for a long time, then said, "With great power comes great responsibility. You can't hide from it. You have no choice."

"I've chosen. I choose to save myself rather than others. Whether it's the former Great Yan or the entire human race, if you want to get it, you must pay a price. You have received his protection, but now you want to rebel against him. Isn't it ridiculous? Isn't he pathetic?"

"Isn't it ridiculous that someone who proposed the concept of immortality couldn't even become one himself? Isn't that pathetic?"

"Of all things in the world, only myself will not let myself down. I cannot let down the tragic death of my previous life, and I cannot let down the person I am today."

"Only myself is everything. I won't choose the path of immortal or emperor. As you said, I can't bear this responsibility, so I choose to give up. I choose to take care of myself."

"Why put shackles on myself? What's the difference between this and being forced to have a fate? The world is not worth it. I just want to escape." Ye Yu's voice rang in Ding Ling's ears.

After hearing Ye Yu's words, Ding Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, maybe I've been in your body for too long, and I forgot that you are not the protagonist of this world. You are just an ordinary person who was forced to take this journey."

"I don't want to be the protagonist, and I can't be the protagonist. I just want to be a selfish villain with a clear conscience." Ye Yu murmured.

Then, Ding Ling said nothing more.

Ye Yu fell into deep thought. This was not a fragment of the Xu Tian Ding, but was related to the so-called Emperor's Road. Was there any need for him to fight for it?

Judging from the green lotus in the Canglan ruins, this thing was probably prepared for Ye Chengjun.

No matter what, it will eventually fall into Ye Chengjun's hands. This is an opportunity that belongs to the one with destiny.

However, Ye Yu soon reacted. After comprehending the power of cause and effect, he was able to control the Xu Tian Ding, which originally belonged to the person who defied fate.

Then... can the things of the Chosen One also be used by oneself?

clang!

Just as Ye Yu was lost in thought, a bell rang, and stone islands emerged from thin air, accompanied by streams of light.

Human figures gradually appeared on those stone islands.

In every freshman competition, Tiansheng Academy would invite other forces to watch the ceremony, partly to show them that the training environment in Tiansheng Inner Academy was not bad.

On the other hand, it is also a demonstration of strength. After all, those who can accept the invitation may have a good relationship with Tiansheng Academy, but at least they will not deal with him.

There are dozens of stone islands of all sizes, and not all forces will come.

The next moment, accompanied by a cry of surprise, the symbol of Yao Chi lit up on a stone island.

"Is that Qin Ruoxian, the Saint of Yao Chi? She's here too!"
