I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 596 - 188: No Regrets After Making One’s Move

"Sister Kathy, I really don’t dare to take credit for this achievement, at most it just played a small role. Since the white dragon has completed the healing, why didn’t he receive the Wish Power? He seems to harbor quite a bit of resentment. Now that I think about it, giving me the Divine Soul Pill might be very dangerous," Li Xin asked.Kathy lightly furrowed her brow, "I’m also puzzled. Logically speaking, once the healing is complete, such a large amount of Wish Power should at least reduce a lot of the wear and tear, even if it doesn’t allow him to advance to a Great Angel. I don’t know where the mistake occurred."

"Sister Kathy, perhaps it’s just destiny. The new era has limitations on getting something for nothing or making substantial profits without labor, so there’s no need to worry," Li Xin said. "Have you already started researching how to become a Great Angel?"

Kathy smiled, "There’s not much hope. I’m just standing on Luo Jin’s shoulders, a matter of serendipity, really. It was too easy to obtain, and the chances of advancing are less than those of the white dragon."

"Sister Kathy, among ourselves, there’s no need to be so modest. If effort alone was enough, then what would be the use of talent? Talent is what’s most important," Li Xin said. Compared to his own achievement, Sister Kathy’s advancing ability was even more advanced. If she were to join the Round Table Conference, she’d definitely be the big sister.

"Your mouth is like it’s coated with honey. Lin Fei wasn’t wrong; it’s used in the wrong place," Kathy teased.

"Strange, not hearing Aunt Fei nagging recently feels a bit unusual," Li Xin joked. "I feel something’s off about Elder Bai from the Bai Family."

He couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong, but there was definitely something strange.

"Every aged elder angel’s mind is somewhat abnormal. He’s considered alright, don’t pay too much attention," Kathy said. "It was wise of you not to accept the deal. Although it wouldn’t necessarily affect us significantly, it’s important to stay cautious."

"Is there a problem with the magic potion?"

"The Divine Soul Pill is invaluable. Advancing from Three Lives to Four Lives is crucial, largely determining if one can become an angel. Such a magic potion can only be provided by the Church Court and the Great Alchemist, and the Church Court only rewards it to followers who have accomplished great deeds," Kathy explained. "If what he brought out is genuine, the effects of the Divine Soul Pill are beyond doubt. But if an alchemist’s Divine Soul Pill completes an advance, the stronger the power, the more benefits are fed back to the alchemist. This itself is a form of Wish Power, but how the alchemist acquires it is unknown."

"You mean he has other motives?"

"Elder Bai seems to be making a last-ditch effort, but even if you don’t take it, he has other options. Others are desperate for it; the vast majority of people are willing to sacrifice everything for power," Kathy noted.

Li Xin nodded, advancing from Three Lives to Four Lives and potentially becoming a Preparatory Angel is absolutely invaluable. Perhaps because of the opening positions of the first two, he wants to move more steadily.

"I think taking steady steps isn’t a bad thing, especially when we’re unsure of what other intentions he might have hidden."

"Sister Kathy, what do you think of the secret path? If we’re walking on someone else’s path, does that mean, at some point, we’ll have to pay the price?"

Kathy looked at the thousands of lights and said leisurely, "A move made, there’s no return."

Li Xin relaxed, leaning against the chair, and looked into the distance together, "Exactly, a move made, there’s no return."

"Are you going to take care of the skinning issue?" Kathy asked.

"The captain is indeed a bit naggy."

"He knows about your relationship with me. If you decide to see it through, he’s definitely going to mention it to me," Kathy said. "What were you contemplating with your roundabout manner?"

"Can’t hide it from you. The case must continue to be investigated. Skinning is just a temporary solution that doesn’t address the root cause. The use of the worms will only increase, meaning more people will be sacrificed and used as food, potentially spiraling out of control. Once a disaster forms, it’s the ordinary people who will suffer. The captain is a bit inclined to look out for himself, but as long as he doesn’t hold us back, I do want to look into it," Li Xin needed to communicate with Kathy after all, since, in the end, Aunt will have to fix it if they spill the beans.

"If you want to investigate, then investigate," Kathy replied nonchalantly.

"Qi Badao has been implanted with worms, but he still seems quite excited."

"He’s quite shrewd and not lacking in perseverance; he might just hold on. However, his strength is negligible. In the Hundred Martial Hall, there’s no room for small tricks; the waters run deep there."

"We are responsible for finding clues and evidence. As for the rest, naturally, we leave it to the big figures to handle."

"Oh, what if the big figures aren’t willing?"

"There’s always a way," Li Xin laughed.

Uncle Luo, that kind of person, would be called a troublemaker in a previous life. What can you do, he now sees a mess and wants to poke at it.

"You are quite optimistic."

"Sister Kathy, I recently heard a saying that in the Sixth Epoch, one should not become a Divine Angel. Is this saying reliable?"

Kathy looked at Li Xin, "You really do have some peculiar channels. Let’s consider this from another angle. Divinity comes from deities, so why would a deity grant you divinity?"

Li Xin thought of the cost of being a Divine Favored, "Could it be that Divine Angels are the deity’s sacrifices at certain times?"

"You can’t simply label them as sacrifices. Faith inherently involves sacrifice, but it seems the Divine Favored of the new era have forgotten this aspect. This is human nature. Deities lack human nature. Whether one becomes a Divine Angel or not is predetermined. With gain comes pain; nothing is absolute," Kathy explained.

"There’s a saying, ’My fate is determined by myself, not by heaven.’

"That person must have lost terribly," Kathy said without hesitation.

... It seems they died quite miserably too.

Suddenly Li Xin understood Kathy’s ’move made, there’s no return.’

"Sister Kathy, you wouldn’t happen to be a Divine Angel, would you?" Li Xin suddenly asked.

Kathy smiled slightly, "You’ll know once you become an angel. Let’s head back, it’s late, a bit chilly."

Downstairs, Lin Fei was listening to Xueyin discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the two Grand Governor candidates, who would determine the direction and stability of Li Long’s development over the next five years.

"Does Celestial Principle Academy teach even this?"

"Our Celestial Principle School emphasizes engaging with the world, applying what you learn, and discovering truth through practice,"

"Oh, so what have you learned?" Kathy and Li Xin walked down, Kathy asked with a smile.

"Our Celestial Principle School emphasizes the combination of theory and method. I think, in our Beijing people’s terms, it’s the combination of ’Dao’ and ’Technique.’ Heart Learning is the ’Dao,’ using various means in practice to achieve goals," Xueyin explained.

Kathy and the others were somewhat impressed, "You’ve learned this much in just a few days, why did you offer flowers to the clown today, instead of someone else? The Flying Bird Daily has quite a few reports on him that are rather annoying."

"The clown is the star of the circus, the root of everyone’s joy. I’ve read those reports, but the clown is just expressing his thoughts and never targets anyone specifically. He simply uses this method to bring joy. Which ordinary person doesn’t want to marry a princess? Everyone yearns for the beautiful, and he never looks down on anyone," Xueyin said.

Kathy and Lin Fei were just watching the commotion; they weren’t part of the group that ridiculed the clown, but they never said they liked him either. Xueyin’s perspective was quite unique.

"The Celestial Principle School views issues by starting from the surface and examining the essence of events. Celestial Principle Academy suits you well," Li Xin said. Xueyin’s talent was excellent, easily absorbing and accepting advanced ideas.

"Ah Xin, whenever you speak, there’s an air of Celestial Principle about it; no wonder the teachers all like you," Xueyin said.
