Chapter 1457 Her Choice
Ling Lan stood on top of an iceberg and looked at the endless white snowy landscape before her.
If it wasn’t for the fact that there was a red setting sun in the west, Ling Lan perhaps thought she was going blind.
She didn’t know how many sunrises and sunsets she had seen since she had been in here and she didn’t know how many world-ending apocalypse she had experienced either.
The power of nature made Ling Lan, who was halfway into the god-realm, felt as though she was an insignificant ant in this giant world.
She softly spoke, “Is it still not enough?”
Ling Lan’s cold and sharp eyes darkened significantly. Teetering between life and death was usually the easiest way to improve oneself. However, facing death time and time again didn’t give Ling Lan what she wanted.
“Did I not dive deep enough? Even though the catalyst is in front of me, I can’t reach it?” A bitter smile formed on Ling Lan’s face.
As days, months, years gone by, Ling Lan knew her chance to enter the god-realm was getting slimmer and slimmer.
“I am unwilling to just give up like this!” Ling Lan’s expression turned icy cold. She knew very well what the outcome would be if she didn’t advance into the god-realm.
“I have said it before, I won’t allow myself to be helpless ever again!” Ling Lan clenched both her fists. “Master, I’m sorry. I need to use the forbidden Divine Command Sect technique.”
After saying that, Ling Lan’s entire body sank into the snow.
Number One, who had his eyes closed while meditating, instantly opened them.
“You’re not going to stop her?” Number One’s shadow suddenly spoke in a cold voice. It was Number Two.
Number One’s eyes flickered slightly before slowly closing them. “This is her choice.”
“Advancing to god-realm is still too difficult for the present, Ling Lan.” Number Two didn’t think it was a good idea.
“If she doesn’t force it, she would only have a few more days to live anyways. Dying now or later is all the same so might as well risk it all. “A charming voice rang from the other side of the dimension. A dimensional tear opened up and Number Four walked out while striking many different poses.
“Even you can’t sit still anymore?” Number Two sneered.
“Our fates are tied with Ling Lan. If she doesn’t advance to god-realm, would it benefit us?” Number Four smiled lightly.
“...” Number Two was speechless. He didn’t want to speak with these intelligent entities who already had their own agendas. He quickly disappeared from Number One’s shadow.
“He ran away pretty quick,” Number four sneered coldly.
“That’s because you are being unrealistic so he didn’t want to speak with you anymore.” Number Five’s voice echoed from behind Number Four.
“How am I not being realistic?” Number Four ruthlessly stared down Number Five.
“If Ling Lan were to die, we would at most return to the drawing board and wait until Majesty Four awakens to find the next host and start again.” Number Five pointed out the specialty of their learning machine.
“Yeah right, if Majesty Four didn’t evolve and create a connection with Ling Lan, what you said might be true. However, now, if Majesty Four were to wake up and find out that Ling Lan had died, he definitely would choose to destroy himself. Then we’ll all die,” Number Four rebutted.
“You forgot the meaning of our existence again, haven’t you?” Number Five responded helplessly.
Number Four was speechless and couldn’t find the words to refute him. She could only look towards Number One angrily. “Number One, are you thinking of using your final authority if that happens?”
Number One slowly opened his eyes. All of the instructors had already come into his dimension unbeknownst to him. It seemed that Ling Lan’s situation worried every instructor.
Looking at them standing there with hopeful eyes, Number One snorted coldly and said, “Everyone go back to where you came from now!”
“Alright, fine, fine. I’ll go back. Staying here won’t do any good anyway.” Number Five smiled with an indifferent look on his face.
Looking at that irritating face, Number Nine couldn’t control her urge as she released a furious kick towards his knee. After kicking Number Five, she quickly disappeared, without turning back to see what the outcome of her kick was.
Number Five gritted his teeth and rubbed his kicked knee. While limping, he walked forward and similarly disappeared from the dimension.
“If there’s nothing fun happening here, then I’ll be leaving too.” Number Three yawned like he didn’t have care in the world. Before he finished his sentence, he had already left.
“You men are all so stubborn and so boring.” Number Four flicked her wavy long hair and walked out of the dimension the same way she came in.
The other instructors slowly disappeared after Number One ordered them to leave. In the end, Number One’s shadow also became lighter before finally disappearing in a flash as well.
The entire dimension returned to its peaceful state. Then, Number One slowly closed his eyes.
“No, I won’t.” Number One’s lips moved slightly.
“Ow, ow, ow...” The immense pain made Ling Lan tremble. The immense pain seemed to be coming from deep within her body, but also seemed to be from the outside of her body as well.
“Quickly, quickly, patient on Bed N27’s suddenly has a reaction. Give her a dose of painkiller.” A woman’s voice rang beside her ears, with a hint of worry and panic in her voice.
“Ling Lan, don’t be scared. Ling Lan, don’t be scared. You’re very brave. You have to believe in yourself. This time, you will be able to endure it.” On the other side, another soft female voice sounded as an ice cold towel was used to wipe her forehead. The refreshing feeling coming from the towel was the only thing stopping Ling Lan from fainting.
“Ling Lan, you are the strongest girl I know. You definitely can endure it.” From a further place, there was a voice of a crying woman cheering her on.
Ling Lan suddenly felt her arm get injected by a needle. The cold liquid was then felt going into her bloodstream.
However, all of this didn’t have any effect on the unbearable pain she was feeling. Ling Lan thought that she was going to die from the pain.
“Ah!” Ling Lan finally screamed out.
“How’s the situation?” A familiar male voice suddenly echoed in her ears.
“Dr. Li, we just injected a dose of painkiller, but it doesn’t seem to have an effect,” replied one of the female voices.
It was then a warm hand touched her with the intention of checking on her. “Her condition worsened this quickly. If we don’t stop it soon, Ling Lan won’t be able to live past tonight.” the male voice sounded firm but yet had a hint of unwillingness to it.
“Wuwu... Then what should we do?” One of the female voices actually began crying.
“Ling Lan’s so nice. I don’t want anything to happen to her,” said the other girl while sniffling.
“You all need to focus. You’re all nurses. If you panic, who will the patients depend on?” the male voice suddenly shouted angrily.
“But, but, what should we do?” The female voices suddenly had more strength to it, as if they were awakened from the shout.
“Continue to inject painkillers. Remember to not go past the limit,” ordered the male voice. “Nurse Han, go apply for the new experimental medicinal agent immediately.”
“But, doesn’t it have irrecoverable side effects? Our superiors have already ordered us to not use it carelessly.” Nurse Han was somewhat hesitant.
“Why think about that when the situation is this grave” the male voice was determined.
“But if something bad happens, it will be on your accounts, Dr. Li,” said Nurse Han with uncertainty.
“If we don’t try, it’s the same as doing nothing. No matter what the outcome is, I will take full responsibility,” replied the male voice calmly. It seemed that this decision was made through careful deliberation, not panic like what he just showed.
“Alright, Dr. Li.” Nurse Han realized that Dr. Li had already thought it through, so she didn’t try to convince him otherwise anymore. She turned around and went to apply for the experimental medicinal agent.
“Ling Lan, endure it for a while. The new medicinal agent will be here soon. You will get better, so you have to hold on.” Beside her ears, that soft female voice had been constantly cheering her on. This voice also sounded very familiar. It seemed that this voice had been standing with her the whole time she was in pain.
It was just that she had never thought of giving up, but why was everyone here afraid she would give up and why were they so desperately trying to cheer her on to continue to live?
Although Ling Lan felt dizzy from the pain, her brain was still working at full speed. When she came about this realization, she was somewhat confused.
