Chapter 1600: I Won’t
Translator's Note: My creator mission posts are up. Check it out if you want to. In this case I basically wrote a small fanfic from the perspective of Ye Qing's storage artifact, Nine Heavens. He never stopped carrying it, you know?

“I chose this?” Ye Qing looked puzzled.
The Earthly Sovereign replied, “That’s right. This is your choice. You’re the one who chose to inherit the Earthly Sovereign Bell and bear this responsibility. I have never done anything to influence your choice!”
Surprised, Ye Qing abruptly recalled his conversation with the Earthly Sovereign’s consciousness that existed inside the Earthly Sovereign Bell.
Back then, the consciousness had told him in no uncertain terms that inheriting the Earthly Sovereign Bell meant inheriting the responsibility of slaying the Four Evils.
At the time, he had asked, “Can I... refuse?”
“Of course you can.” The Earthly Sovereign’s spiritual intent had chuckled. “But would you?”
And he had answered, “... I guess not.”
Therefore, the Earthly Sovereign had never forced him to do anything. From the start until the end, it was his choice and his choice alone.
“You’re right. It was my choice,” Ye Qing admitted. “Did you know about this, senior?”
