Lin Yi was right, Ju Zi now had three options in her mind, representing three different life paths.
But the content of these three options shocked Ju Zi to the point of covering her mouth immediately.
She stared at Lin Yi with wide eyes filled with astonishment, so shocked that she almost fell off the Linked Soul Guidance Cannon Platform.
"Hey, kid, what's got you so worked up!"
Jing Hongchen hurried over and supported her from behind when he saw her reaction.
"I'm fine... Principal, I'm fine."
Ju Zi forced a smile onto her face and gently shook her head.
She had always been low-key.
While she was extremely beautiful, she usually didn't dress up, pay much attention to her clothes, chose to wear glasses to hide her beauty, and although her talent for soul tools was strong, she typically pretended to be lazy and naive.
If it hadn't been for Tutor Xuan Ziwen strongly recommending Ju Zi to join the four-person assault team, Jing Hongchen might have chosen another talented student from within the academy.
Therefore, the low-key Ju Zi had never shared her true feelings with anyone; she buried her secrets deep in her heart.
But today...
Ju Zi lifted her head to look at Lin Yi, who was calmly watching her, a sense of fear growing within her.
She couldn't believe that this senior, whom she had never met before, knew everything about her!
At this moment, Ju Zi felt Lin Yi was even more divine than the gods themselves.
"You should have received three options in your mind by now, right?"
Lin Yi asked calmly, as if inquiring about a very ordinary matter.
Ju Zi gazed at him in disbelief for a long while before finally nodding.
"Then go ahead, make your choice."
[1. You return to the academy and follow Xu Tianran, marry this man who you feel nothing for and is incapable of having children, become the Empress of the Sun-Moon Empire, conceive through another man, become the Empress Dowager of the Sun-Moon Empire with immense power, send troops to Xingluo, and take your revenge!]
[But you will lose happiness in life, and your eventual revenge will be thwarted by an irresistible force.]
[2. You gain a Divine Spirit, an exceptionally strong soul master talent, continue living in the academy as a normal student, conceal your martial soul's talent with your talent for soul tools, step by step becoming Soul King, Soul Sage, Soul Douluo, Titled Douluo, Ultimate Douluo, and ultimately gain the rights to a First-Level God's inheritance, becoming a god that stands above mortals!]
[But you must let go of your hatred, give up on revenge, and starting from the age of 25 live in the Divine Realm under the control of the Council of the Divine Realm.]
[3. In 29 days, when the Temporal Passage closes, you ignore the advice of the academy's Elder and teachers, stay in Soul Land a ten thousand years in the past and serve Lin Yi with all your heart for ten years, after which your father who died in the battlefield of Xingluo will be revived, and your mother who died of depression will come back to life, and you will happily live in the Soul Land ten thousand years in the past!]
[But you will be an ordinary person for your entire life, your talent for soul tools will be of no use in the world ten thousand years ago, and you will lose ten years of freedom.]
The first option was actually Ju Zi's original life path template, and the irresistible force mentioned was Tang San, who had ascended to godhood.
But at this moment, she was unaware that this was to be her future life.
Overwhelmed by emotions and unable to restrain herself any longer after seeing the three options in her mind, Ju Zi cried out to Lin Yi:
"The third one! I choose the third one! I want the third one!"
To her, a question whose answer was clear at a glance needed no second thought.
Everything she had done up to this point was for her loved ones. As long as they could be revived... What did power, strength, or soul tools matter?
What did ten years of freedom matter?
What did a strange environment matter!
To Ju Zi, the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was just as strange a place, where she was alone and without relatives.
Ju Zi couldn't stop crying. She took off her glasses and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
Looking at her tears on the lenses, Ju Zi was momentarily absent-minded, then suddenly burst into laughter, as if remembering the hardship of the past few years.
She resolutely folded her glasses and placed them into the soul tool, no longer wearing them.
Everyone was stunned by her behavior and completely failed to react.
Xiao Hongchen was surprised to discover how pretty Ju Zi was! He never paid much attention to her when she wore glasses.
Ju Zi's skin was perfect, fair and tender, with a translucent glow under the sun that appeared very soft. As a human, the delicacy of her skin could even compare with transformed ferocious beasts like Gu Yuena, the Snow Emperor.
The crowd couldn't help but marvel, and the Jing Hongchen grandfather-grandson trio, who were closest to her, were dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why someone as beautiful as Ju Zi would hide her appearance with her hair and glasses...
"The third one, are you sure? You still have a chance to change your decision."
Lin Yi asked her again.
But Ju Zi immediately shook her head, urgently saying, "No change, I want the third one, please... senior."
Lin Yi paused for a moment.
Having read the original story, he only knew that Ju Zi harbored deep hatred but had not realized her longing for her loved ones was deeper.
"Alright, as you wish."
Lin Yi clenched his fist, and brilliant rainbow light spilled through his fingers.
At the same time, Ju Zi found the first two options in her mind instantly shattered like a mirror, while the third option magnified infinitely within her mind, eventually transforming into a warm golden light that merged into her body.
Apart from Lin Yi, no one knew what the three life choices in Ju Zi's mind were; they only knew Ju Zi seemed completely like a different person, full of happiness on the spot.
Even Tutor Xuan Ziwen felt unfamiliar with Ju Zi's current demeanor.
