Heavenly-Dragon continued in a deep voice, “Even someone like me who has been sleeping all along can guess why you let these people board the ‘train.'”

“Heavenly-Dragon… why would you think that… I…”

“You’ve found some method that can make us no longer ‘live and die together,’ right?”

After hearing this, Qinglong pondered slightly, neither denying nor admitting it.

“The ‘Twin Flowers’ between us only established the most basic connection. This causes our injuries not to be shared, but our lives are bound together.” Heavenly-Dragon said. “But it’s precisely this most basic connection that gives you endless headaches… right?”

“I…”

“So you wanted to set up a scheme to eliminate me, but unfortunately things gradually began to exceed your expectations.” Heavenly-Dragon sighed. “You discovered that under Baiyang’s full-force offensive, you couldn’t withstand it at all, so you could only wake me up to handle the aftermath caused by yourself, right?”

“Heavenly-Dragon…” Qinglong didn’t know what attitude to take in answering Heavenly-Dragon’s questions. He only remained silent with a complex expression.

“When you were entangled by people, you had no way to disconnect the connection between us two. This shows that your method is only temporary and even requires advance preparation. You wanted to take advantage of that momentary opportunity to let me die and also completely liberate yourself.” Heavenly-Dragon sighed. “Qinglong… right?”

After Heavenly-Dragon finished speaking, he reached out to cover his chest, his expression somewhat strange.

“You… what’s wrong?” Qinglong asked with an uncertain expression.

“Nothing… suddenly feel a bit short of breath.” Heavenly-Dragon said. “Qinglong, just because I don’t say many things doesn’t mean I’m unaware of them.”

Qinglong knew there was no need to continue hiding at this point. In the end, he could only sigh and say, “Yes, I wanted to kill you. I’ve had enough.”

“Hearing this statement makes me a bit regretful.” Heavenly-Dragon said. “But I completely understand you.”

“The one sleeping is clearly only you…” Qinglong said with a slightly hoarse voice. “But I’m the one trapped by you. Every day I worry whether someone will enter that room and kill you… I’m even more worried that I’ll die inexplicably on some unaware night… You’re just asleep, yet you’ve become the greatest weakness in my existence in this world.”

One sentence seemed to strike at the heart of the matter, leaving Qinglong speechless.

“Qinglong, I understand you.” Heavenly-Dragon said. “But you clearly know that the reason I sleep is because I exhaust all my ‘Belief’ in just half a day and become utterly insane. Just with these ‘Immortal Arts’ on me, if I remained awake… the entire ‘Taoyuan’ would be turned upside down.”

“Yes… I know, everything you do is to protect the stability of ‘Taoyuan.'” Qinglong said through gritted teeth. “But is ‘stability’ what we want…? Don’t you want to take a gamble… to become a true ‘God’?”

“How could I not want that…?” Heavenly-Dragon continued covering his chest with his hand. After taking several deep breaths, he felt his breathing become somewhat smoother. “But if I don’t ‘Separate’ those people… when a new batch of lives arrives… countless versions of them meeting each other, how can we guarantee that other situations won’t occur?”

“It’s all Baiyang’s problem… Baiyang he…”

Heavenly-Dragon adjusted his breathing and said with a grave expression, “One Baiyang has already caused this kind of situation. If many Baiyangs meet each other in ‘Taoyuan’… if they strategize together and cooperate flawlessly, will the scales still tip toward you and me? At that time, even the ‘will of heaven’ won’t be able to help you and me.”

“Stop talking about the ‘will of heaven’…” Qinglong said. “Your so-called ‘twelve heavenly wills’ have almost been completely destroyed by Baiyang. He schemed to estrange ‘Heavenly-Sheep,’ he refused to become ‘Heavenly-level,’ there’s only one judge in his room. He has single-handedly torn a rift in your ‘twelve.'”

“It doesn’t matter.” Heavenly-Dragon said. “You and I both need to use him. This is also the reason he’s been able to barely survive until now.”

Seeing Qinglong remain silent for a long time, Heavenly-Dragon slowly stood up and looked at the corridor outside the door.

“Qinglong, if I really died… what identity would you live on with?”

“Identity?” Qinglong raised his head, his face showing incomprehension.

“The interesting thing is, the one who survives is neither you nor me.” Heavenly-Dragon said. “You have half of me in you, and you’ve also killed half of yourself. So between us two, who exactly survived? And who died?”

“No…” Qinglong pondered for a few seconds and spoke, “No matter what our component parts are, we are indeed now two separate individuals. If you really died, I would also live on with the identity of ‘Qinglong.'”

Heavenly-Dragon kept his back to Qinglong, not revealing his expression.

“We have parts of each other, and even our thoughts have begun to change.” Heavenly-Dragon looked at the corridor and said softly. “You and I both want to become true ‘Gods,’ but the methods we adopt are completely different. Not only have you had enough, but I’ve had enough too.”

“What do you mean?”

“You suffer from always having a weakness, I suffer from only being able to rule these illusory two days. Neither of us is satisfied with our current state.” Heavenly-Dragon said. “Since there’s a method… why don’t we try it?”

“Wh… at?”

“That method of yours to undo the ‘Twin Flowers.'” Heavenly-Dragon said. “Show it to me.”

After hearing this, Qinglong furrowed his brows slightly and slowly stood up as well. “Now…?”

“Yes, why must it be so troublesome?” Heavenly-Dragon said. “You went around me and set up such a grand scheme, yet the final result isn’t as straightforward as me personally agreeing to it.”

Hearing Heavenly-Dragon’s proposal, Qinglong hesitated in a rare display.

“So you’re saying you want me to undo the ‘Twin Flowers’ now, and then…”

“Kill me.” Heavenly-Dragon said.

Qinglong was silent for a few seconds, then asked, “Heavenly-Dragon, are you clear-headed right now?”

“More or less clear-headed.” Heavenly-Dragon nodded. “There aren’t many people to ‘Separate’ this time, so currently I can still think and converse. But once I activate ‘Entering Dreams,’ it’s hard to say. So how will you decide?”

Qinglong indeed found it somewhat difficult to grasp Heavenly-Dragon’s meaning. Although they each possessed half of the other, clearly his half and the other’s half had different thoughts.

“Why is this?” Qinglong asked. “Every sentence you just said didn’t show me that you want to die.”

“You yourself said that if we continue like this, you and I will both encounter danger sooner or later. Even if we completely carry out the ‘will of heaven,’ we might not be spared.” Heavenly-Dragon said. “So I’m thinking… if only you remain here, would you manage this place better?”
