Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl
Chapter 1312 - Chapter 1312 Chapter 1312 The More You Know The More Despair

Chapter 1312: Chapter 1312: The More You Know, The More Despair You Feel Chapter 1312: Chapter 1312: The More You Know, The More Despair You Feel After finishing those words, Gu Ning fell into silence.

Beside him, Elder Jian Yuan, who always seemed a bit like a supporting character, didn’t dare make a sound. He tried to speak several times but couldn’t dare to open his mouth.

“Young fellow, it seems you have some opinions. Let’s hear them.”

The old Daoist looked towards Elder Jian Yuan.

“Hehe, Holy Lord… I am, of course, curious about something.”

“You say such mighty beings go through all these superfluous acts; surely it’s not simple. I’m just curious about the intentions behind it all.”

“Plus, I’d really like to see just how splendid the era filled with celestial beings and Buddhas was…”

The yellow-robed old Daoist nodded in understanding.

“Oh, that. Actually, it’s not about whether it was splendid or not. Before that era, there were the Demon Courts and the primordial chaos, none of which you could even begin to comprehend. What’s the use of knowing these things?”

“Furthermore, I’ll remind you of something, the more you know, the more despair you’ll feel.”

Looking at the yellow-robed old Daoist’s smiling face, Elder Jian Yuan was baffled.

It seemed as though the Daoist Priest was trying to entice him to delve deeper, as if asking would really lead him to share the truth.

But should he ask or not?

As Elder Jian Yuan wrestled with his thoughts, Gu Ning suddenly spoke up.

“For experience?”

The yellow-robed old Daoist waved his hand dismissively, “You girl are just short-sighted. Although you possess some minor strength, your vision is too narrow.”

Gu Ning’s face turned an iron blue as she glared at the old Daoist.

The old Daoist just chuckled, “Looking at me is pointless; the fact remains as it is.”

“Let me tell you about the outcome of that monk and the few demons,” he said.

“The monk was granted a special Buddhist rank, imbued with a golden body, holding high authority within the western Buddhist sect.”

“The demons also received their rewards and improved their status. However…”

At this point, the old Daoist’s face bore a secretive smile, “Those demons seemed to have risen in ranks, but were in fact confined within the western Buddhist order–non-orthodox, with apparent status but truly nothing significant. Such an outcome is starkly different from what their future development would have naturally been.”

“But do you understand? To gather these demons, the great lords went through unspeakable efforts. Each was influenced by their own agenda, and what they sought was the ultimate outcome.”

“Merit!”

As the old Daoist spoke, he sipped some tea and looked up at the sky, “Merit was also precious in that age, something all mighty beings yearned for in their dreams. It represents not just personal strength but a kind of destiny, a contest over who should control the world under the heavens…”

“I, as a Daoist, am not fond of these affairs and avoided them as much as I could. Yet, I never would have imagined that after so many years, all my old friends would be gone, leaving only me to carry the banner alone…”

At this moment, the old Daoist exuded a sense of well-traveled, world-weary sagacity.

No one knew just how much decline he had experienced; the traces of time were truly astounding.

Looking at his silhouette, one could almost see the passage of eons upon eons change before their eyes.

“So are you after merit as well?”

Gu Ning raised an eyebrow, “Since you seem eager to tell me that we go through unnecessary complications for much grander schemes, then what exactly are you plotting with such a grand move? You’ve nearly brought every powerful being from that era into your circle. What are you aiming for?”

“What I’m plotting is a brand-new world.”

The old Daoist suddenly lost his sleazy, unserious demeanor and instead radiated an air of integrity.

For a moment, it took Gu Ning and the others by surprise.

“Well, let’s not talk about that. It’s not something you can comprehend. As I said before, the more you know, the more despair you’ll feel.”

The old Daoist shook his head with a sigh, then reverted to his casual manner, “Is this the only question you dead girl have? My time is precious; I don’t have the luxury to idle away chatting with you!”

“One last question–what happened to Jiang Xiaobai, and what will become of him in the future?”

Gu Ning stared seriously at the old Daoist, “He’s my disciple, I can’t just ignore his well-being. If the final outcome is death, then what’s the point of doing all this?”

For a moment, there was silence among the three of them.

The old Daoist, with half-closed eyes, looked towards the creek on the shore, his body swaying slightly as if recollecting something.

If it weren’t for Gu Ning poking him, he would have stayed lost in his memories.

“Ouch, I’m getting old, nearly fell asleep there.”

The old Daoist stretched, “What were you asking just now? Ask me again.”

Gu Ning’s mouth twitched, he raised his hand, ready to take action, but the old priest swiftly dodged and flew up into the sky.

A hearty laugh followed.

“The future of that boy can’t be probed, and I, old Daoist, can’t see through it either. However, I can tell you that the experiences he’s going through now are necessary. They’re a threshold he must cross, extremely important.”

“When he wakes up, take him to play around the Nine Heavens Continent, so no one can accuse me, old Daoist, of being unkind and only knowing how to exploit.”

After saying that, the old Daoist had already disappeared from view.

Suddenly, in the midst of void, the old Daoist in the yellow robe appeared, turning his head to look at the vast land behind him, letting out a small sigh.

“Handling these kinds of things, how can you place them on me, old Daoist? Back when the gods were being established, those bastards were all more oppressive than the next. Compared to them, my Taoism is far too lacking…”

Shrugging his shoulders, the old Daoist in the yellow robe looked not far ahead at an earthy yellow bubble, oddly floating in the void.

Inside, there were multiple figures sitting cross-legged.

Jiang Xiaobai, if present, would have undoubtedly recognized these familiar faces.

Those figures were meditating with their eyes closed, their auras erupting continuously, breaking through various kinds of shackles and limits.

The strongest one was the girl at the forefront, already at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, seemingly on the verge of breaking through to Daluo Golden Immortal.

“You all, each carrying karma not as shocking as that boy’s, are nevertheless heavenly talents.”

“Once I send you up, I fear the realm of Earth Immortals will descend into chaos…”

The old yawned and stretched, “Off I go, time to attend to official matters.”

With that, the old Daoist flipped his wrist in the void, and above the earthy yellow bubble, a heavenly gate appeared, emitting a holy white light.

The light grew stronger and stronger, and even with the bubble’s cover, it couldn’t be blocked. Those within were all awakened, looking in disbelief at the terrifying vision of the heavenly gate before them.

One of the chubby figures turned and glanced at the land not far away, and in a daze saw a familiar figure.

“Eh? I think I saw the boss!”

Right after those words were spoken, the heavenly gate closed, the light dissipated, and the void fell back into silence.

The old Daoist looked at somewhat battered space around him and heaved a deep sigh.

He lifted his head, looking at something unknown, and murmured softly.

“The more you know, the more hopeless it feels, so why make me know so much?”

…

Jiang Xiaobai woke up and did not lose much time.

It was barely an hour after the old Daoist left.

He was roused by the smell of roasted meat.

As his consciousness returned, Jiang Xiaobai was stunned.

Hiss,

That scent that seeped into one’s bones!

This soft embrace, so freaking comfortable!

No, I don’t want to wake up!

Let me die in this land of warmth and comfort!
