Chapter 282: Strong Interaction Forces
It has been confirmed that Deng Chanyu intends to persist in her cultivation journey. Nezha believes that the best way to help her escape this tribulation is to take her and flee.
He is thankful that he isn’t someone adept at making friends, otherwise, if the entire Investiture of the Gods list were filled with his friends, it would be quite troublesome.
Nezha shared his thoughts with her, suggesting she hide for a few years. After the Chengtang army is defeated and Xiqi counterattacks and captures Sanshan Pass, she can emerge and avoid this disaster.
But Deng Chanyu replied that since Nezha is an Outer Heaven Demon, his actions are unbound by the Heavenly Dao, and now that he has left Xiqi, why not seek refuge with Chengtang? Perhaps he could achieve something there.
Nezha scoffed at the idea, thinking to himself, "Seek refuge with Chengtang? Approach Yin Jiao and say Xiqi has become too hostile for me, despite having killed your father, I am still a formidable warrior—if you don’t hold a grudge and employ me, I could accomplish great deeds?"
He sighed; ever since Yin Jiao became the Holy Emperor, even Zhaoge has become a place of tigers and wolves for him.
"I can’t go with you. If I hadn’t met you, I might still be an ordinary person who would grow old in a few decades. But now, I too have become a cultivator, and things might change."
This was Deng Chanyu’s final answer.
Nezha thought to himself that the might of the Heavenly Dao is mysterious and unfathomable. Even he, being outside the Heavenly Dao, deeply felt its influence. How much more so would someone of this world who is bound by the Heavenly Dao, which continually restores itself? How could anyone escape it?
He lifted his head and saw Deng Chanyu’s eyes, realizing that her resolve was firm. He didn’t say anything further.
