Chapter 116: Her Choice

After hearing the content of the prophecy, Xu Xiang looked at Mu Zhihe with a frown and asked, "Does Sect Master Mu think I am the chosen one?"

Mu Zhihe nodded, and said, "At first, we were not sure. But after we saw your reaction when you saw this Dragon and Phoenix ring, I am very sure that you are the chosen one."

He observed Xu Xiang’s expression for a moment, and said, "I know there are many questions that Miss Xu wants to ask. Since Miss Xu is here, then please ask. As long as I can give you the answer, I will not hide the truth."

Xu Xiang really has a lot of questions that she wants to ask, but she doesn’t know where to start. Mu Yucheng stood beside his master, and calmly observed her every move and expression. After a long silence, she finally opened her lips to speak.

"Since Sect Master Mu is willing to answer my question, then I won’t be polite. My first question is... Is this place the Mofa tribe?" She asked curiously.

After hearing her question, everyone present except Mu Yucheng chuckled.

One of the elders shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not the Mofa tribe. In fact, the Mofa tribe did not even exist. This place is the Tian Jian Sect, one of the hidden cultivation sects in this mortal world. The name of the Mofa tribe was given to us by those mortals who don’t know our real identities."

Xu Xiang nodded, thought for a few seconds and asked, "My second question is, why did you lead me here instead of going to the Xiuluo tribe to visit me?"

"The answer to this question is very simple. That’s because we don’t want people to know about this prophecy. Since this prophecy concerns the survival of the world, the fewer people who know it, the better. Now, the outsider who knows about this prophecy is only you, Miss Xu." Mu Zhihe replied, while stroking his long beard.

She thought about what he said, and realized that it was really not suitable for too many people to know about the prophecy.

Looking at them, she calmly asked, "Then my last question is, why should I help you? The fate of this world has nothing to do with me. Even if it collapses, I still have a way to live until I die naturally. Moreover, I am just an ordinary human. With my current strength, I couldn’t even save a few people, let alone save the world."

He had been waiting for her to ask this question for a long time, so Mu Zhihe asked her back. "Miss Xu, do you want to change the fate of your world?"

Xu Xiang’s eyes flickered, and then she regained her usual calmness in a split second. She raised her eyes, looked straight at Mu Zhihe and asked, "Why did Sect Master Mu ask me this question?"

"Because, this world is the mirror of your world. If this world perishes, then your world will perish too." He replied seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, she fell silent. Mu Zhihe waited for her to think about what he just told her for a while before saying, "Miss Xu, have you ever asked why your world suddenly changed? What is the cause, and why does it seem like there is no way to change the outcome of your world?"

After he finished asking, Xu Xiang looked at him and asked urgently: "Does Sect Master Mu know the answer to that question?"

Mu Zhihe nodded, and said solemnly: "The moment I received the prophecy, I saw the future of our worlds for a second. When this world is destroyed, your world will change. I don’t know if we are luckier than you or not, because our world disappeared in an instant. As for your world, it would slowly decay and corrode, and over time, it would become a dead world. It will slowly perish with all living beings there."

As she listened to his answer, Xu Xiang clenched her hands unconsciously. She finally knew the answer that she couldn’t find after two lifetimes. It’s no wonder that in her first life, no matter what humans did, they couldn’t find a way to find the vaccine for the doomsday virus, nor could they find an answer to what caused the change of their world.

After taking a deep breath to calm herself, Xu Xiang said, "Since Sect Master Mu saw the future of our worlds and got the prophecy, does Sect Master Mu know how to save our worlds?"

Mu Zhihe smiled at her when he heard her question.

With calm eyes, he looked at her and said, "As the prophecy said, to be reborn from the ashes or to vanish into nothingness, is just a matter of choice. At first, I thought this choice was a choice for us to find the chosen one or not. But it wasn’t until I met you today, that I knew the real answer. The choice is not ours, but yours to make."

She frowned, shook her head and said, "I don’t quite understand."

He smiled and said, "Miss Xu will understand everything in the future when the time comes. Now, the first choice you have to make is to choose whether to take on this heavy responsibility or not."

Feeling the sudden heavy pressure put on her shoulder, Xu Xiang took a deep breath, before saying, "Before I make my choice, can Sect Master Mu answer one of my questions?"

Mu Zhihe nodded to her and said, "Miss Xu can just ask."

Xu Xiang hesitated for a moment, clenched her hands and asked, "Can I return to my world in the future?"

Seeing her expression, everyone there became serious as they looked at their sect master.

Mu Zhihe took a glance at the Dragon and Phoenix ring on the top of the table beside him, then looked at Xu Xiang and seriously said, "Maybe Miss Xu could return to your own world in the future. But the probability is not high. Whether to take this risk or not, depends entirely on your own choice."
