Chapter 154: The Predetermined Fate Reversed by Me! No One Will Die in This Lifetime!
Chapter 154: The Predetermined Fate Reversed by Me! No One Will Die in This Lifetime!
Wang Yanran's set of conjectures also made Lin Tianming feel a bit dazed.
The rebirth of the goddesses and his crossing over brought a butterfly effect, only affecting trivial small matters.
The major events that truly determine the direction of historical nodes will become somewhat tortuous under the accumulation of these small changes but will ultimately return to the original point without any changes.
Only the process changes; the results of each major historical event remain unchanged.
Whether it was him naming her in this life or Hua Yufei naming her in the previous life, the girl who liked to wear Yellow Dress would still be called Huang Yiyi.
Moreover, the reason for the name is that Huang Yiyi liked to wear light Yellow Dress.
Therefore, whether or not to conceal this small matter from Wang Yanran is insignificant because it won't affect the predetermined result.
Influenced by Wang Yanran's theory that the results of predetermined historical events won't change, Lin Tianming is now not only worried about Hua Yufei.
He thought of many things.
In the end, like the original owner in the previous life, he would die tragically shortly after returning from the Global Advanced Awakeners Academy competition a year later...
Even if it wasn't him taking action, his teacher Jiang Han would still die tragically when becoming a god because this world doesn't allow anyone to become a god before the era of the gods' descent...
Feng Lan's father would likely die as well...
Meng Xiyue would also become talentless a year later, and even with the memories of the reborn goddess, such a major historical event couldn't be changed...
Even if Tianshui teacher avoids him at all costs, not wanting to lose the Pure Water Source like in the previous life, she will eventually lose the Pure Water Source...
Wang Yanran's half-absorbed Phoenix Flame Crystal would inevitably be taken away...
Alice and Ye Qingxue would inevitably meet their destined death in the future...
Everyone can't escape the final reckoning...
Just thinking about this series of tragedies suffocates Lin Tianming, making him unable to breathe.
"Junior Lin, I need to talk to you alone!"
Pulled back to reality by Wang Yanran's words, Lin Tianming temporarily stopped thinking about the uncertain future.
"Can't we talk here?"
"It's better to talk outside!"
[No! I must make you tell the truth. I have memories of my previous life, and I know Senior Yufei must know the true identity of this eerie girl! Don't try to deceive me!]
[Whether Senior Yufei can escape the death fate of the previous life or not, I will strive to keep her alive!]
Even though Wang Yanran speculated that future major events wouldn't change, she still wanted to change Hua Yufei's fate.
Her persistence moved Lin Tianming.
Like her, Lin Tianming also worried about the future, but this worry didn't overwhelm him; it became his motivation to fight against fate!
At this moment, Lin Tianming noticed Hua Yufei winking at him to check his phone.
He took out his phone and saw that Hua Yufei had sent him a text message while he was distracted.
"Junior Lin, because we destroyed the Yellow Clothes Church stronghold last night, now the entire Imperial City knows about the Yellow Clothes Church. Yanran, as the daughter of the Wang family's head, might suspect that the Huang Yiyi we protect has issues because of the Yellow Clothes Church!"
Understanding Hua Yufei's concern, Lin Tianming gave her a reassuring look. He decided to explain to Wang Yanran.
Since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well communicate with Wang Yanran properly!
Wang Yanran had memories of her previous life and harbored hostility towards Huang Yiyi.
But Wang Yanran also knew that Huang Yiyi was someone even the god-ascended her in the previous life couldn't kill.
This would help him persuade Wang Yanran not to blindly hate Huang Yiyi and cause more severe consequences by scaring her away.
Walking to the courtyard outside with Wang Yanran, Lin Tianming said, "Senior Yanran, just ask whatever you want!"
"Senior Yufei has ventured into the land of disasters many times for training. She knows many secrets that most people don't, like the fact that there are eerie gods in this world more terrifying than demons. Junior Lin, I need you to tell me the truth. Are you all deceiving me? Is Huang Yiyi actually an eerie god?"
Wang Yanran got straight to the point, making Lin Tianming have to be honest with this reborn Phoenix Flame Goddess.
He told her about his encounter with Huang Yiyi, how he convinced Huang Yiyi to follow him, and how he persuaded Hua Yufei to protect Huang Yiyi.
After listening, Wang Yanran reacted like Hua Yufei initially did: "You are too reckless, Junior Lin. Do you know what would happen if she reveals her true nature and harms Senior Yufei?"
"But isn't this the safest way to minimize the probability of casualties?"
Briefly silenced by Lin Tianming's reply, Wang Yanran had to admit he was right.
But after a moment, she insisted, "Even so... you can't disregard Senior Yufei's life!"
"I haven't disregarded Senior Hua's life!"
Lin Tianming corrected Wang Yanran's point.
He was telling the truth. When he made that decision, he never thought that in the future, Hua Yufei would be harmed by Huang Yiyi.
If he had known about that future from Wang Yanran's inner voice, he would never have arranged for Huang Yiyi to be by Hua Yufei's side.
Hua Yufei had helped him several times, and Lin Tianming was grateful to her. He would never harm her out of selfishness to protect Huang Yiyi.
Thinking for a moment, Lin Tianming said to satisfy Wang Yanran, "How about this, Senior Yanran, from now on, I won't let Senior Hua take Huang Yiyi. I'll take care of Yiyi myself. This way, you won't worry about her being in danger, right?"
Wang Yanran still felt Lin Tianming was being reckless: "How will you take care of her? You need to cultivate abilities in the Imperial Academy, filled with the elite students of the nine states. If that eerie god reveals herself one day, how many future protectors of the nine states would die?"
[That eerie god must not be kept! She's a ticking time bomb!]
Seeing Wang Yanran's stance, Lin Tianming insisted, "Then I'll drop out and take her to live in the deep mountains and forests!"
"You..."
[I'm... I'm worried about you too!]
Wang Yanran didn't know what to say, lowering her head.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming softened his tone, "Yiyi has behaved herself recently with Senior Hua. This is the safest method now, Senior Yanran."
"You don't understand..."
[In the previous life, this eerie girl was initially peaceful with Senior Yufei. Even I thought everything was fine. But...]
[But during the era of the gods' descent, when the opportunity to become gods arrived, many human awakeners rose to protect humanity from the ravages of divine beasts. Senior Yufei, who should have been one of the first to become a god... was killed by the eerie god who revealed her true nature!]
Then wait until the era of the gods' descent and separate Hua Yufei and Huang Yiyi!
By then, if Lin Tianming could rewrite the fate of the original owner's early death, he would have grown to the level of a god, or even stronger.
Since everything required him to rewrite the future to reverse it, Lin Tianming would break this damned predetermined fate!
In this life, neither he nor these reborn goddesses, nor Senior Hua Yufei, nor anyone else he cared about...
None of them would die!
Listening to Wang Yanran's inner voice, Lin Tianming's resolve to change the future became even firmer.
Although he couldn't reveal his ability to listen to inner voices, Lin Tianming could still do his best to calm Wang Yanran's emotions.
"Senior Yanran, though I don't know why you are so worried, I can assure you that I will protect everyone and everything we want to protect together! Even if I have to sacrifice myself, I won't regret it!"
