Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1517

Wang Wei and Wu Hong walked in the sand with bare naked feet while holding each other's hands. They felt the sun hitting their skin, the smoothness of the sand, and the gentle caress of the waves. The atmosphere seemed perfect for a simple date.

"It's indeed beautiful, but it's not the same," Wang Wei said.

"You can create other people and make it livelier if you want," Wu Hong suggested.

"I know, but it's not the same."

"Are you feeling nostalgic for an authentic beach experience from Earth?" she asked.

"That's right. I think this is the first time since I was young I missed home so much," Wang Wei nodded.

"You can visit now that you're a Paragon."

"It's too dangerous."

"You can at least send a projection to check things out," Wu Hong said.

"That may not be a bad idea," Wang Wei nodded. He would need some preparation, but it's possible to visit Earth and the Prehistoric World for a short period. The couple enjoyed the sand before looking at the sunset.

"It's beautiful," Wu Hong said. Although they can control the concepts that make up realities themselves, it's always good to ground themselves by enjoying the purest form of nature.

"If only we could enjoy this kind of thing together for all eternity."

"Why can't we?" Wang Wei asked as he turned to face her, his palm still closely grasping hers. Wu Hong looked him in the eyes. "Tell me, you won't one day suddenly ask me to deem my light so you can shine?"

"If one day I need you to do that, it means I've failed as a husband and as a cultivator," Wang Wei replied. Wu Hong was arrogant, but so was he. If he ever needed her to shrink herself for him to shine, then his pride and arrogance must have been abandoned, making him a failure as a husband and a cultivator.

"You promised?"

"I do," Wang Wei said firmly.

"Good. I hope you won't forget today's words."

"I won't," Wang Wei smiled as he kissed her forehead. They continued walking in the sand. "No more hypothetical? Is your curiosity satiated?"

"Since you ask for more, I'll give you. Hmm, let me think. What if one day, you had to choose between your absolute freedom and me? What would you choose?"

Wang Wei stopped walking and looked her in the eyes as he answered. "My obsession is too deep. I'm afraid I'll choose my ambitions. Is that a deal breaker for you?"

"No. Ultimately, we are cultivators first, driven by our obsession and ambitions. I would do the same," Wu Hong replied. She also has her ambitions and dreams and would not give them up for anyone else.

Wang Wei smiled. "I'm glad to hear that."

"Let's continue," she uttered while they continued walking. "Let's say I was captured and you needed to save me, but you know there is absolutely no way to save me, and you would one hundred percent die in the process. Would you still come?"

"I'm assuming in this scenario, I cannot just cultivate to a higher realm to revive and avenge you?"

"That's right," Wu Hong nodded.

"In that case, I would come to save you."

"Why? Aren't you giving up on your dream by rushing into a sure-death situation?" she asked.

"It's one thing for me to end things between us for my ambition, but another for someone to force it to happen," Wang Wei explained. "I will fight until the end to save you and continue living."
