Chapter 1439 - 1438: All Beings in the World
After a long silence, Su Yang suddenly said, "Can I ask what exactly the Mystical War is?"
The Dean froze for a moment, staring at Su Yang in astonishment before frowning and replying, "This isn’t a question you should be asking!"
"Why not?" Su Yang asked, unwilling to let it go. "No one is willing to tell me about the Mystical War. They just say that it’s better for me not to know. But this matter has already become closely intertwined with my life. Many things around me are affected by it, including this issue with the Medicine Sect. If I remain in the dark, wouldn’t I be even more passive in the future?"
"Being passive is better than being deeply entangled!" The Dean said softly. "Telling you about the Mystical War won’t do you any good. On the contrary, once you know about it, you will inevitably get drawn into it, unable to escape it for the rest of your life. That wouldn’t be fair to you!"
"Is it fair to all of you then?" Su Yang countered.
The Dean sighed softly, "We are different. We are Terrestrial Immortals. This matter—it’s something we must step forward to bear!"
"What do you mean?" Su Yang frowned and thought for a while before suddenly asking, "Do you mean that once I become a Terrestrial Immortal, I must face this matter too?"
The Dean did not answer directly, only nodding lightly.
Su Yang was taken aback. He began to ponder over what the Mystical War could be and why becoming a Terrestrial Immortal would force him to confront it.
"But Black Widow and Lü Donglin know about the Mystical War too..." Su Yang said. "They haven’t entered the Land Fairy Realm yet!"
"They are different!" The Dean shook his head. "Miss Su comes from the Su Family of Yanbei; she cannot escape this matter. And Lü Donglin’s uncle is the Beigong War God. Such things cannot be hidden from the Beigong War God."
