NOVEL WEB Chapter 143 Difficult Choice
The moment the divine stone disappeared from the mirror world, a divine stone exactly the same size and appearance appeared in Tianchen Continent.
And this divine stone that suddenly appeared in Tianchen Continent was the same divine stone that gave birth to the giant snake in the mirror world.
The location where the divine stone appears in Tianchen Continent also corresponds to its original location in the mirror world.
The giant snake lost the sacred stone and became extremely violent.
It can feel that the sacred stone is still in its original position, but it is no longer in this world.
For the giant snake, the sacred stone is not only its home, but also its source of survival. The sacred stone can provide it with energy and enable it to grow.
If there is no energy supply, the giant snake will not be able to grow and eventually die.
Therefore, it can only find another way, and this other way will naturally eat away at this mirror world.
But this is only a temporary measure. When the mirror world is eaten away, there will be no energy supply, and the giant snake will still die in the end in tens of thousands of years.
And the only way to keep it alive is the Divine Stone.
Soon after, this sacred stone was discovered by a top powerhouse in Tianchen Continent.
After seeing the magic of this sacred stone, he transformed it on the spot and built it into Shengtian Academy.
From then on, the sacred stone disappeared and Shengtian Academy was born.
The giant snake was born from the sacred stone. It is inextricably linked to the sacred stone. Even though it is two worlds apart, it can feel that the sacred stone has changed at this moment.
It really wanted to find the sacred stone now, but for it at that time, its power was too weak and it was impossible to do it.
Therefore, it can only keep eating away at the mirror world, increasing its power and growing continuously.
The mirror world was gradually eaten away by the giant snake, and its body became larger and larger.
Finally, when the giant snake had eaten away nearly half of the mirror world, its power reached a new height, and its eyes were able to see through the mirror world and see the location corresponding to Tianchen Continent.
When it saw that the sacred stone had been transformed by humans and that humans had moved into the home that originally belonged to it, it felt extremely angry.
But it could only stand here and watch them, unable to do anything because its power was not enough.
In the same place, in a different world, the giant snake watched them like this every day, watching generations of students leaving, and watching generations of students arriving.
Every time a new face comes in, its hatred grows.
Tens of thousands of years later, the giant snake finally devoured the mirror world, and its body and strength reached an incredible level.
Finally, today, the day when Shengtian Academy was predicted to be destroyed, it pulled Shengtian Academy from Tianchen Continent to the mirror world, trying to swallow it up to ensure that it could continue to live.
"That's just the way it is..."
At this moment, Xie Chen had arrived in front of Lu Jiu Sheng and others and told them the truth about Shengtian Academy and the giant snake.
After everyone listened to Xie Chen's story, everyone had a complicated expression on their face.
Lu Jiusheng sighed, feeling a little melancholy. He did not expect that there was such a connection between Shengtian Academy and the giant snake.
The sacred stone is actually the birthplace of the giant snake, and Shengtian Academy is just a dove occupying a magpie's nest.
No wonder the old man said he was a thief before. After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, he fully understood what the so-called "thief" was.
However, he did not agree with the old man calling them "thieves".
After all, the divine stone disappeared from this world and then appeared in Tianchen Continent. Before that, no one knew the origin of this divine stone.
It just happened to appear there, and then it happened to be discovered by someone, and it didn't have an owner, so naturally it couldn't be considered theft.
Lu Jiusheng came to Xie Chen and said respectfully: "Palace Master, we already know the matter, what do you think we should do now?"
Xie Chen glanced at him and said calmly: "What to do? You shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing. I just want to ensure that your Shengtian Academy is not destroyed."
"As for the rest of this, it is not within my consideration. It is up to you to make your own decision."
"Uh..." Lu Jiu Sheng looked confused and struggled in his heart.
The sacred stone gave birth to the giant snake. Logically speaking, it can indeed be regarded as the owner of the sacred stone. Due to emotions and reasons, they should return the sacred stone to the giant snake.
However, the sacred stone is no longer there. It has become the Shengtian Academy. For thousands of years, it has cultivated generations of students.
Countless geniuses and powerful people have come out of Shengtian Academy. It can be said that the Central Region can become the strongest among the five major areas of Tianchen Continent, and Shengtian Academy has played a big role.
If one day suddenly, Shengtian Academy disappears, it will be an immeasurable huge loss not only to the Central Region, but also to the entire Tianchen Continent.
Furthermore, they have established a strong relationship with Shengtian Academy. Shengtian Academy is their home. Without Shengtian Academy, what will happen to their mentors and students?
Especially Lu Jiu Sheng, for him, Shengtian Academy is everything to him, and asking him to hand over Shengtian Academy is simply killing him, which is more uncomfortable than killing him.
Lu Jiusheng scanned the crowd, then looked at the giant snake, and finally turned his attention to Xie Chen again.
However, Xie Chen still stared ahead expressionlessly, ignoring his look for help.
Lu Jiusheng was helpless, sighed and lowered his head.
To be honest, he didn't want to return Shengtian Academy. If Xie Chen wasn't here, he wouldn't even think about handing it over.
But Xie Chen was here. If he didn't return it, he was worried that the other party would think he was selfish and leave a bad impression on himself and Shengtian Academy. This was also unacceptable to him.
With Shengtian Academy on one side and Xie Chen on the other, no matter what choice he made, he seemed to be offending either side. For a while, Lu Jiusheng was caught in a dilemma.
In fact, Lu Jiusheng really overthinks it. To Xie Chen, it doesn't matter half a cent to him whether you pay him back or not. If you pay him back, he will praise you a few words at most. If you don't, Xie Chen won't say anything.
However, Lu Jiusheng didn't know what Xie Chen was thinking. He just stood beside Xie Chen and sighed all the time.
Sighs kept coming from his mouth, full of troubles, making Xie Chen speechless: This is your business, and I can't make the decision. What's the matter with you sighing next to me.
Xie Chen was getting more and more angry. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore and waved his hand to Lu Jiu Sheng.
"Okay, okay, don't sigh, I'll think of a way for you."
