386: Chapter 386 Abnormal Effects

Just as an Eighth-order powerhouse was about to reach the vicinity of Yishi Mansion, an Eighth-order Thunder Spirit Demon Tiger King appeared out of nowhere.

By the time they arrived, both the person and the tiger had perished together.

And then, Yishi Mansion made a killing...

The Eighth-order Tiger King's body, the collection of an Eighth-order powerhouse, and the massive reward they paid.

Similar incidents had occurred several times during that period.

Ever since then, Yishi Mansion began entering a period of rapid development.

As someone who did not believe in fate, Helian finally accepted his fate.

In order to suppress Amivika's ability, the two had remained strangers for over a decade, never having any contact whatsoever.

Apart from normal travel management, Yishi Mansion almost never proactively dispatched powerhouses outside.

Even so, he still reached the Seventh Order without any obstacles, and the powerhouses within Yishi Mansion became increasingly numerous.

Although everything was developing in a positive direction, the more it did so, the more it made him feel panicked.

...

Listening to Helian's fantastical story, Nie Ning felt a sense of horror, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

However, he still had some questions in his heart.

"Then why don't you just get along well with her and keep it going like this?"

After all, the lifespan of a High-level Wizard is very long; if one puts in the effort, a Seventh-order wizard can live for at least 800 years.

This is one of the reasons why so many people pursue transcendence.

Hearing this, Helian's gaze turned profound, and he shook his head slightly.

"Our lifespans are limited; even if we can live for one or two thousand years, there will always come a time when it ends."

"By that time, I fear the backlash will be unimaginably strong, and I estimate that even our souls will not be able to find peace."

This was not alarmist talk, because it was the truth.

Immediately afterwards, Helian began to speak again about some things he knew.

Because according to his understanding, Amivika had triggered all sorts of disasters in the previous twenty years.

Initially, Amivika was just a little princess of a Sixth-order family, and when her mother was just pregnant, the family entered a period of rapid development.

Before she was born, various fortuitous encounters led to her father becoming an Eighth-order Transcendent Knight.

And when Amivika was three years old, she displayed exceptional talent as a wizard.

For this reason, her father found her a teacher, an Transcendent Wizard whose strength also reached the Eighth Order.

It was precisely because of this choice that Amivika's family entered a period of decline within half a year, and later, they were inexplicably dragged into a battle involving Ninth-order Transcendents, with the entire family subsequently being wiped out.

At that time, Amivika had followed her teacher away, so she avoided this disaster.

And within the next two years, Amivika's teacher stepped into the Ninth Order.

When her teacher was advancing, to prevent Amivika from being left without care, she was placed in the home of a descendant several generations removed.

It was precisely this insignificant action, or perhaps because they had obtained too many benefits, that her teacher's death was even more bizarre.

A deity eroded by corruption descended to the world and began attacking indiscriminately like a madman.

As luck would have it, it just happened to land at the location where Amivika's teacher was advancing, and was even infected into becoming a Corruptor, subsequently being sealed by a group of Transcendents.

The subsequent situations were more or less the same; before she was even twenty, Amivika had triggered at least 6 similar cases.

...

Hearing this, Nie Ning instantly understood where the problem lay, and his expression turned very ugly.

"In other words, you intentionally let her leave in order to preserve Yishi Mansion to the minimum extent possible, so why didn't you find someone to replace you earlier?"

Helian took a deep breath, his eyes carrying a hint of bitterness: "Didn't I tell you? It was she who chose you; you have no right to choose, the initiative has always been in her hands."

This is the most unacceptable part about Amivika.

When Amivika has not made a choice, no one can use any means to help her make a choice.

Therefore, after Nie Ning appeared, he felt no anger; all he felt was relief and relaxation.

Even though a disaster would soon occur, and he even had a premonition of it.

But he had been fully prepared all these years; in all likelihood, he would not let Yishi Mansion be destroyed, and instead, he would be able to break free from Amivika's shackles.

However, as the person designated by Amivika, he himself would likely...

"Don't be too worried; at the very least, your luck will be very good, for example, right now..."

Helian saw what Nie Ning was thinking and took a spatial bag from his bosom to hand to Nie Ning.

"This counts as compensation for you. If I am lucky enough not to die, before your strength reaches the Seventh Order, I will provide you with corresponding support."

Nie Ning hesitated for a moment, but still took the spatial bag.

After all, this was compensation for him; how could he have any reason not to take it?

But when he opened it to take a look, his jaw truly dropped.

There were hundreds of high-grade magic crystals alone, and various rare materials were also placed inside.

Seeing this, Helian revealed a meaningful smile.

He was not helping Nie Ning, an outsider, for no reason; after all, the cost of advancing to the Seventh Order was not small.

In reality, he only did this for one reason: to make himself a part of Nie Ning's life journey, so as to avoid possible dangers that might arise.

Because as a wizard, when knowing the problems involved, he could naturally think of corresponding solutions.

Although he hadn't tried it, the possibility of this method working was very high.

"It's getting late; you should go back and rest early."

Helian looked up at the moonlight, interrupting Nie Ning, who was in a state of shock.

Nie Ning did not speak; not knowing what to say, he could only nod to indicate he understood, then immediately turned and walked in the direction he had come from.

He had learned too much today; he really needed to go back and digest it properly.

"A piece of advice for you."

At this moment, Helian's voice rang out behind Nie Ning.

Nie Ning looked back, and Helian spoke again: "When you find yourself doing better and better, you might want to stop and think calmly; if you cannot move towards a further future, perhaps you will need to make some trade-offs."

"What do you mean?"

Nie Ning did not understand.

Helian did not answer but instead turned around and waved his hand, subsequently turning into a streak of light and fleeing into the distance.

Nie Ning gazed at Helian's departing figure for a long time without coming back to his senses.

For him, what Helian said today completely shattered his worldview.

He had never imagined that someone could actually possess such a terrifying setting; it was even more horrifying than the Corruptor, the enemy of all living things.

However, he did not completely believe Helian's words either.

Who knew if this guy was just intentionally creating panic here because his wife was gone, wanting to disgust him a little.

But looking at the spatial bag in his hand, Nie Ning couldn't figure it out for a moment; would anyone really intimidate others like this?

...
