Mythical Three Kingdoms-Chapter 1713 - 1631: Perhaps He Really Has Grown Weaker

Nanhua, after all, is an immortal, so he possesses the ordinary thought patterns of immortals, such as fearing cause and effect and striving to remain calm and inactive. However, since he took on Chen Xi’s task, keeping an eye on Gan Ning became a necessary mission.

Given Gan Ning and his companions’ strength, Nanhua doesn’t need to hide nearby to protect Chen Xi. He just needs to watch from afar. Even Lyu Bu would require dozens of moves to kill such masters; it’s impossible for them to be eliminated instantly.

Therefore, Nanhua happily followed behind Gan Ning. As the spirit behind, he could share a portion of the guardian’s fate. This is why immortals prefer protecting those big shots; just by mingling with them, they can share some fate. Though it’s not much, the continuous flow of benefits is quite good.

After setting his objective on Gan Ning, Nanhua was surprised to find that the fate Gan Ning shared was not weaker than that of the Feudal Lords. Astonished, he calculated with his fingers, but it was all a chaos. Nanhua didn’t think much, as the future was a mess after the Yuan Liu battle, even peeking was hard.

Nanhua assumed the future had changed, and Gan Ning had a great task to accomplish. But later one thousand Kushan warships came to Malacca. Although Nanhua flew above Malacca daily, it only took half an incense stick time for Gan Ning’s legion’s lookouts to spot them after he did.

At that moment, Nanhua understood clearly. Though the future was still a chaotic mix, his experience told him Gan Ning had reached a turning point.

Although a part of fate is indeed innate, for most who choose the right path, the effort made later in life allows their innate qualities to fully manifest.

But before that, you must see if you qualify to withstand it. If you can bear this vitality number, then it’s yours. If not, then sorry.

Clearly, Gan Ning was like this; if he survives this battle, then it truly would be like birds flying high in the sky, fish leaping freely in the vast ocean.

If he doesn’t overcome it, in this situation, Gan Ning is surely doomed. If he does prevail, then learning from his near-annihilation, Gan Ning, with his flagship for seven generations, returning triumphant, then returning all defeats to Kushan isn’t impossible.

However, Nanhua followed along and watched as Gan Ning made one blunder after another until nearing complete failure. At that time, a future almost completely muddled revealed part of its image, and any of them was bad enough.

Faced with only two paths, one was to save Gan Ning. Looking at the Kushan Empire’s fate opposite him, Nanhua felt that if he intervened, he’d certainly be backfired to death.

Unlike Zixu, whose abilities were immortal but hung under Han Empire’s fate, the reckless Zixu didn’t care about being entangled by cause and effect. If it was him, not only would he save Gan Ning, but even if he killed Vasu Deva I, the Han Empire’s fate would bear it.

As for not saving Gan Ning, taking on this task from Chen Xi, then losing Gan Ning and delaying the unification for three years, leading to a loss of close to a million lives, and allowing Kushan to seize Sichuan and Shu for four years during the unrest. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Though Chen Xi doesn’t directly link with Han Empire’s fate, this chain reaction made Nanhua feel that he’d be left with just a breath alive, and his remaining life would be spent lying there groaning.

In this dilemma, Nanhua suddenly saw a burst of dim light erupt from Gan Ning, whose future was dark, piercing a thread of vitality into the endless obscurity.

Immediately Nanhua realized it was the Human Cauldron injected with fate, the last fate meant for saving. Clearly, all of Gan Ning’s remaining fate was ignited, and vaguely he gained a thread of vitality.

Understanding this, Nanhua immediately guided the last thread of fate on Gan Ning and instantly found another source of the same origin, very close in distance.

Instantly, Nanhua flew toward it and saw the Great Kun, saw the stone house on its back and then sensed something, and Lyu Bu stepped forward.

In that moment, Nanhua’s non-existent hair stood on end; he unexpectedly saw Lyu Bu, who had ascended.

"Fengxian, what’s wrong with you?" Diao Chan asked, puzzled by Lyu Bu’s scanning gaze.

"I’ve been somewhat uneasy since earlier, and now..." Lyu Bu abruptly looked upward at a certain void and arrogantly said, "So, someone is spying."

As he spoke, Lyu Bu waved his hand, and the Sky Piercer flew from the stone house, ready to attack in that direction. Fortunately, Nanhua quickly manifested his form.

"A Daoist?" Lyu Bu withdrew his hand and looked at Nanhua. "So, I was right, this is the path back to the Great Han Dynasty?"

"Marquis Wenn, shouldn’t you have ascended to the Heavenly Realm?" Nanhua looked at Lyu Bu with a serious expression, having already forgotten about Gan Ning.

"Seems right; during the battle of Jiuyuan, I indeed shattered the void. But I don’t know about ascending." Lyu Bu appeared quite pleased upon meeting someone from his hometown.

Nanhua’s face turned even grimmer; shattering the void yet unable to ascend—then how to ascend? Could it be impossible in this realm? Realizing this, Nanhua’s once solid form began to dissipate. Fortunately, responding quickly, he managed to stabilize his form, avoiding vanishing into thin air.
