Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

Chapter 114: Today, I finally understand who I am

"Seeing the situation, you and your father, Jiang Fushan, fought with increasing fervor, determined to slay the Demonic Dragon before it could break through."

"However, the Demonic Dragon's hide was thick and tough. Even with all your strength, you and your father couldn't kill it quickly."

"In the blink of an eye, a day had passed, and the battle with the Demonic Dragon continued."

"By now, the Demonic Dragon was covered in wounds, but its aura had only grown more terrifying."

"‘Roar!’ With a dragon roar that echoed through the heavens, tribulation clouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by thunderous booms."

"Your heart sank. ‘No, the tribulation for becoming an immortal!’"

"You still hadn't managed to kill the Demonic Dragon before it could break through."

"Now that the tribulation had arrived, continuing to fight the Demonic Dragon would make you targets of the Immortal Dao's wrath!"

"Thus, you shouted, ‘Dad, retreat!’"

"After all, you thought, you could forgo the dragon meat and find the formation's crack to leave the Southern Regions."

"Just as you were about to withdraw from the battlefield, you heard your father laugh heartily, ‘Fight!’"

"Then, he charged at the Demonic Dragon, which was undergoing the tribulation!"

"WTF!" You watched your father, Jiang Fushan, in disbelief, your pupils contracting."

"This Demonic Dragon is undergoing the tribulation to become an immortal! Dad, are you crazy? Charging into the tribulation like that?"

"At that moment, your father, Jiang Fushan, sent you a message."

"He told you to quickly find the formation's crack. He would do his best to stall the Demonic Dragon, preventing it from successfully crossing the tribulation!"

"Now you understood your father, Jiang Fushan's intention. He wasn't being reckless; he had a plan!"

"He knew very well that if the Demonic Dragon succeeded in crossing the tribulation and you hadn't found the formation's crack to leave the Southern Regions, you would all die at the Demonic Dragon's claws."

"Your father, Jiang Fushan, aimed to delay the Demonic Dragon's success, or at least cause it some trouble, slowing its breakthrough."

"This way, you and Old Li would have more time to find the formation's crack."

"With this in mind, you glanced at your father, Jiang Fushan, and without hesitation, turned and ran to search for the formation's crack at the bottom of the desert."

"You thought that as long as you found the exit quickly, there might still be a chance to survive."

"If the Demonic Dragon succeeded in crossing the tribulation, survival would be slim."

"At that point, you might not withstand the Demonic Dragon's attacks."

"Of course, this wasn't your greatest fear. What you feared most were the giant hand and foot that could cover the sky."

"After all, in previous instances, whenever someone in the Southern Regions became an immortal, the region was attacked."

"You weren't sure if the Demonic Dragon's tribulation would also attract powerful beings to attack the Southern Regions."

"Although the Demonic Dragon was captured by a powerful being to guard the sealing formation, you thought its tribulation might still be unavoidable."

"As for the reason? The Demonic Dragon had always guarded the dragon egg, and it didn't seem to be its own."

"So, you thought that if the Demonic Dragon had devoured the dragon egg, it would have had the chance to become an immortal long ago."

"But it hadn't done so. You thought maybe it knew that crossing the tribulation to become an immortal would be dangerous!"

"Of course, these were just your guesses."

"But regardless, you didn't want to take the risk."

"An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the Demonic Dragon's tribulation continued, with the sounds of battle occasionally ringing out from within the tribulation."

"You knew this meant your father was still trying to stop the Demonic Dragon."

"By now, you had reunited with Old Li, and the two of you were working together to dig through the yellow sands of the Desert of Death, searching for the formation's crack hidden at the bottom."

"Soon, you saw another patch of tribulation clouds forming in the sky."

"You frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in your heart."

"Because you felt that the tribulation clouds didn't seem to be summoned by the Demonic Dragon."

"They seemed to be targeting your father, Jiang Fushan."

"It didn't take long for you to realize your feeling was correct."

"It was your father, Jiang Fushan, who had summoned the tribulation for becoming an immortal."

"Having already reached the peak of Tribulation Crossing, he found an opportunity to break through to immortality during the battle."

"Old Li also noticed this and was extremely excited, thinking that if your father became an immortal, the Demonic Dragon, even if it reached the immortal realm, wouldn't be a threat."

"But your heart grew heavier."

"Originally, the Demonic Dragon's tribulation might have attracted powerful beings to intervene."

"But now, with your father also summoning the tribulation for becoming an immortal, there was no doubt—the Southern Regions were doomed."

"You knew that everyone's lives were now on a countdown."

"Once the tribulation ended and the powerful beings intervened, there would be no chance left."

"So, you stopped paying attention to your father's battle."

"You called Old Li to speed up the search for the formation's crack."

"Two hours later, you saw a crack in the light shield at the bottom of the desert and breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, you found it in time!"

"You shouted to your father, ‘Dad, hurry, leave the Southern Regions!’"

"You weren't sure if it was possible to leave the Southern Regions during the tribulation, but you thought it was worth a try."

"But your father, Jiang Fushan, just looked at you, shook his head, and sighed, ‘Today, I finally understand who I am. Feng'er, I can't leave!’"

"After saying this, your father, amidst the tribulation, waved his hand and threw you and the other cultivators of Spine Mountain into the formation's crack."

"All of you left the Southern Regions, leaving him behind alone."

"After leaving the Southern Regions, you and Old Li, along with the others, arrived at the Dragon Tomb."

"As soon as you entered the Dragon Tomb, it felt like stepping into another world. Dragon corpses were scattered everywhere, and the atmosphere was eerie. Everyone was on high alert."

"But you stood there, stunned."

"You were still pondering your father's words, ‘Today, I finally understand who I am.’ What did he mean?"

"You wondered if your father, Jiang Fushan, had another identity."

"Was he not a pawn of the powerful beings? Or did he realize he was a pawn?"

"Or was there some other possibility?"

"For a moment, your thoughts were in turmoil."

"After a long time, you patted your forehead and stopped thinking about it."

"You decided to think about these things later."

"After all, this place was not safe."

"Soon after, several low-level cultivators from Spine Mountain were affected by the resentment in the area and attacked those around them."

"Fortunately, you were prepared and quickly subdued them, knocking them all unconscious."

"Then, you and the others, carrying the unconscious, moved forward into the distance."
