752 You’ve Changed

Before Huanhuan could speak, Bai Di strode in. “She won’t be the successor to the prophet,” he said.

Shuang Jing looked up at him. “The prophet has handed the divine artifact to Huanhuan, which means that the prophet has chosen her as his successor. You have no right to interfere.”

Bai Di pulled Huanhuan behind him and looked at Shuang Jing with an especially cold gaze. “The prophet chose her, but that doesn’t mean she has to accept it.”

Shuang Jing stood up. “But she didn’t refuse either.”

Their gazes met, and neither of them was willing to back down. The atmosphere was tense.

At this moment, Little Brat’s voice sounded in Huanhuan’s mind.

“You don’t want to inherit the position of prophet?”

Huanhuan shook her head, indicating that she didn’t want to.

The 10,000 Beast Temple was the highest authority on the entire beast continent. The prophet was in the center of power. With her ability, she wouldn’t be able to hold on to that position at all.

However, Little Brat said, “Do you remember what you saw through the Prediction Mask? The world was in chaos, and lives were lost. The people you love died one by one…”

Huanhuan recalled the bloody scenes and couldn’t help but feel her heart tighten, and her face turned pale.

How could she not remember?

Those heart-wrenching images made her break out in a cold sweat every time she thought about them.

Little Brat said, “If you want to change your fate, you have to stand at a height that even fate can’t control. It might be difficult to become a prophet, but the power a prophet brings can make you and your family safer.”

Huanhuan froze.

She remembered that she had seen Sang Ye being forced to the divine mountain in the prophecy…

If she became a prophet and got rid of those beasts who persecuted Sang Ye in advance, would Sang Ye’s fate be changed?

If she became a prophet and could use her authority to send troops to save Sun City when it was surrounded by demons, would Bai Di’s fate be changed?

If she became a prophet…

She would purge the City of 10,000 Beasts and join forces with all the beasts to resist the invasion of demons!

“Huanhuan, what do you think?”

Huanhuan came back to her senses and looked at Bai Di. “Huh?”

Bai Di was worried when he saw her changing expression. “I called you several times, but you didn’t respond. Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, I was distracted for a while.” Huanhuan was a little embarrassed. “What did you ask me just now?”

Bai Di stroked her head. “I wanted to ask you if you’re really willing to inherit the position of prophet.”

He knew very well that his little female was not ambitious. Her heart was only filled with thoughts of her family.

The position of prophet looked tempting, but to Huanhuan, it was not as good as having the entire family gather for a meal.

Therefore, he was certain that Huanhuan would definitely not be willing to accept being the prophet’s successor.

If it were before, Huanhuan would definitely not accept it.

But now…

She looked up and said word by word, “I am.”

If standing in that position could reverse fate, she was willing!

Bai Di looked stunned.

The answer was unexpected.

Shuang Jing was also a little surprised.

He was in a deadlock with Bai Di just now, so he could only leave the choice to Huanhuan. He had thought that Huanhuan would not accept being the prophet’s successor, but she agreed immediately.

Bai Di frowned. “Have you thought about it? If you really want to inherit the position of prophet, you’ll have to move to the 10,000 Beast Temple in the future. Perhaps our family will be forced to separate.”

Huanhuan was unwilling to be separated from her family.

But she had to take that supreme position. She had to use her strength to change those bloody futures.

“I’ve already thought about it. I have to become a prophet. I want power.”

Bai Di looked at her as if she were a stranger. “You’ve changed.”

Huanhuan opened her mouth to explain, but Little Brat stopped her.

Little Brat reminded her, “The images you see with the prophecy mask belong to the heavens. You can’t tell anyone, or you’ll attract disaster.”

Huanhuan wanted to ask about the prophecy the prophet had told her before.

Little Brat immediately guessed what she was thinking and took the initiative to explain, “After hearing your prophecy, the prophet fell unconscious not long after. He’s no different from a dead person now.”

Huanhuan was shocked.

Little Brat said, “If you don’t want Bai Di to become like the prophet, it’s best if you don’t tell him anything. The less he knows, the safer he’ll be.”

Huanhuan originally thought that the prophet had fallen unconscious because he was destined to suffer this calamity. Now that she thought about it, she might have contributed to this calamity.

Thinking of this, she felt even guiltier.

Little Brat comforted her. “You don’t have to blame yourself too much. Even if not for you, the prophet wouldn’t have lived long. He wanted to save you just because he wanted to do so. It has nothing to do with you. It was his choice.”

Huanhuan lowered her eyes in silence.

Bai Di’s heart sank when he saw that she had no intention of explaining.

Her silence meant that she had tacitly agreed.

Bai Di retracted his hand from her head. “I thought you weren’t the kind of person to lose yourself for power. Now, I think I’ve been presumptuous. How can anyone in this world not be tempted by power?”

Huanhuan laughed at herself. “Yes, power is too tempting.”

Power could make people stronger. It could make people get everything they wanted.

Including the freedom of her lovers and the safety of her family.

Bai Di asked, “Are you still coming home with me?”

Huanhuan lowered her head, afraid to look at him. “I want to go to the home of the unicorns first and see if I can find a way to wake the prophet.”

“Don’t you want to inherit the position of the prophet? If the prophet wakes up, won’t your ambitions fall through?”

Huanhuan heard mockery in his words.

She felt even worse.

“Whether I can inherit the position of prophet or not, I hope the prophet will wake up. After all, he saved my life and Clement’s. He’s our benefactor.”

Bai Di looked at her, his gaze turning cold. “Does that mean you’re going with Shuang Jing?”

Huanhuan nodded slightly. “Yes.”

“What about me? And Big White and Little White. What should we do?”

“You can go home first. I’ll look for you after I’m done.”

Bai Di sneered. “After you’re done, you’ll probably go straight to the 10,000 Beast Temple. As the successor of the prophet, why would you go home?”

“Don’t talk like that…”

Bai Di’s heart stung when he saw her eyes turn red.

He didn’t want to say anything hurtful, but he couldn’t accept her choice.

“If you insist on going with Shuang Jing, it’s up to you. I’ll be returning home at dawn tomorrow.”

Bai Di turned and walked away.

Huanhuan watched him leave and wanted to chase after him.

But in the end, she forced herself to look away from him.

Shuang Jing asked, “When are we leaving for the home of the unicorns?”

“Tomorrow.”
