Chapter 865: Different Paths

Reality is always brutal.

Great Sage Mitchell didn’t have much time left.

His lifespan was about to reach its end.

To live longer, he had to complete his promotion before his life expired.

Even if he could delay giving Mr. Xu Jing a definite answer today, he could only push it back for a maximum of one month.

Great Sage Mitchell knew that Mr. Xu Jing and the Immortal God Civilization Court behind him would not give him another month to slowly deliberate and weigh, oscillating between the Immortal God Civilization and the Wizard Civilization.

Mr. Xu Jing’s visit today was not only another attempt at persuasion but also a confrontation, asking Great Sage Mitchell for a clear response.

If they couldn’t get the response the Celestial Court wanted, Mr. Xu Jing and the Court would completely give up on Great Sage Mitchell, no longer wasting time here, and instead move on to strategize against other wizards.

It must be known that, in the colonization of the Parallel Universe, Great Sage Mitchell was not the only Level Nine Great Sage.

There were three other wizards of the same level.

However, those three Level Nine Great Sages were not like Great Sage Mitchell, whose lifespan was about to end, and who had only a few days left to live if he didn’t advance to Saint.

Those three Level Nine Great Sages had other reasons for colonizing the Parallel Universe and they each had their own fallbacks.

Even if they couldn’t advance to Saint in the Parallel Universe, they could live another thirty to fifty, or even up to a hundred years without problem.

After weighing all the pros and cons, facing Mr. Xu Jing’s emotionless gaze, Great Sage Mitchell nodded softly.

Immediately after, Great Sage Mitchell spoke, “I can agree, but I have one condition.”

“What condition?”

Mr. Xu Jing was quite pleased with finally achieving a positive outcome after persistent efforts and was extremely attentive to the “condition” mentioned by Great Sage Mitchell.

If it wasn’t excessive, he could consent on his own without reporting back to the Celestial Court.

With anticipation, yet appearing calm and composed, he curiously looked at Great Sage Mitchell, waiting for the “condition” to be proposed.

Great Sage Mitchell did not delay further and said directly, “The condition is simple, that you, Mr. Xu Jing, swear by the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal God Civilization that you will ensure the Court fulfills all its promises to me.”

Having survived the epic war between the Wizard Civilization and the Gods Civilization and seizing opportunities during the rebuilding process of the Wizard Civilization to promote from a Level Eight to a Level Nine Great Sage, becoming a top figure in a region of the Wizard Civilization, Great Sage Mitchell was certainly no pushover.

Of course, he wouldn’t just agree to Mr. Xu Jing and the Celestial Court, becoming essentially a traitor to the Wizard Civilization and the Supreme Council without any safeguards.

Compared to the Immortal God Civilization Court, Great Sage Mitchell was in an absolute disadvantage.

But relative to Mr. Xu Jing, Great Sage Mitchell was on equal footing.

Thus, the strategy for Great Sage Mitchell to secure guarantees was to start with Mr. Xu Jing and further influence the Court.

Swearing by the Heavenly Dao was indeed the highest level of commitment an individual could make in the Immortal God Civilization.

“How to swear?”

Mr. Xu Jing considered briefly and then agreed to Great Sage Mitchell’s request.

This response took Great Sage Mitchell by surprise.

He had thought that there would be a debate between them on this matter.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu Jing agreed so readily.

Was it because Mr. Xu Jing was genuine in his heart, certain that the promises of the Celestial Court would be fulfilled, or had the Celestial Court and Mr. Xu Jing already anticipated that Great Sage Mitchell would present such a condition and prepared accordingly?

Naturally, Great Sage Mitchell began to harbor such doubts.

But the arrow was already on the string, and he had to shoot.

Great Sage Mitchell no longer had time to ponder the true motives.

After a deep look at the very composed Mr. Xu Jing, Great Sage Mitchell stated, “I want Mr. Xu Jing to swear that the Celestial Court will fulfill all its commitments to me before the end of my lifespan; otherwise, Mr. Xu Jing will never achieve the status of a Heavenly Immortal for all his lifetimes.”

Immortal God Civilization, being primarily of ‘Immortals’ and ‘Gods’, possesses the grand paths of both ‘Immortal’ and ‘God’.

The ‘Immortal’ path is similar to the Wizard Path of the Wizard Civilization, pursuing freedom and great power, controlling rather than relying on rules, with its highest realm akin to that of a Saint, known as ‘Heavenly Immortal’;

The ‘God’ path is similar to the Godly Path of the Gods Civilization, pursuing the power of rules, relying on them, and not forcibly controlling the rules, with its highest realm akin to that of a Supreme God, known as ‘Celestial Master’.

In this respect, the Immortal God Civilization is actually superior to the universe’s Wizard Civilization and Gods Civilization, appearing more as a hybrid of both.

Mr. Xu Jing, who follows the ‘Immortal’ path and has already achieved the status akin to a Level Nine Great Sage called ‘Golden Immortal,’ is working hard for the Celestial Court because naturally, his aim is to achieve the highest rank of ‘Heavenly Immortal.’

Great Sage Mitchell’s condition indeed hit Mr. Xu Jing’s critical point.

The cost of never achieving the status of a Heavenly Immortal for all his lifetimes was exceedingly high.

So high that Mr. Xu Jing could not afford it.

If Mr. Xu Jing was deceiving Great Sage Mitchell, that would be a very, very, very bad deal.

Then, did Great Sage Mitchell forget that Mr. Xu Jing could still switch to the ‘God’ path to circumvent the constraints imposed by Great Sage Mitchell’s condition?

Of course not.

The ‘Heavenly Dao’ of the Immortal God Civilization, similar to the Wizard World Will of the Wizard Civilization, exhibits a high degree of autonomous intelligence.
