I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 478 The Heavenly World

Fekro was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “Very well.”

Jonathan wasted no time and immediately branded Fekro's cerebral domain with his spiritual element. This mark was imprinted deep into Fekro's cerebral domain, so there was no way for him to refine it. In fact, if he even so much as thought about it, Jonathan would be able to detect such intention.

However, Jonathan refrained from imprinting onto Fekro's divine spirit. After all, the divine spirit represented one's spiritual energy, and if Fekro decided to muster his will to self-destruct his own cultivation, Jonathan would not be able to stop it. Moreover, Jonathan's own spiritual element was only an imprint and nothing compared to the might of Fekro's divine spirit.

However, the situation was different if he imprinted it on other parts of Fekro's cerebral domain.

With a smile, Jonathan turned to Fekro and said, “Welcome to our ranks, Mr. Fekro.”

Fekro smiled back, his mind filled with mixed emotions.

Torrence, however, held reservations about Fekro's allegiance. In a private conversation with Jonathan, he expressed his concerns. “When you asked Fekro to choose the path of certain death, he didn't hesitate even for a moment. I fear his unwavering devotion to Theos leaves him indifferent to his own life. That makes our situation perilous!”

Fully aware of the predicament, Jonathan responded, “I understand your concerns. When I proposed using my element imprint to control him, he showed almost no hesitation. A person who genuinely fears death would be terrified of such manipulation, but not Fekro. From this, it's clear that his allegiance to us is not wholehearted.”

Torrence realized that Jonathan shared his observation, and he couldn't help but be surprised. “In that case, it may be safer to eliminate Fekro altogether.”

Jonathan replied, “Give me a little more time, Torrence. If by tomorrow morning I can't convince Fekro to genuinely join us, then I'll personally take care of him.”

Torrence knew Jonathan was a resourceful individual, and upon hearing this, he said, “I trust your judgment on this.”

“Fekro is vital to our cause. Without him, our team becomes vulnerable to exposure,” Jonathan emphasized.

Torrence sighed. “I understand his significance. It's just unfortunate that...”

He chose not to continue, as repeatedly demoralizing Jonathan with such words would serve no purpose.

That night, Jonathan and the others made camp in a secluded spot.

As they settled into their camp, Jonathan's ability to conjure Fireball allowed them to warm themselves inside the tent.

They had ample provisions, which ensured their hunger and thirst would not trouble them.

A steaming bowl of hearty mutton soup brought comfort, despite its inherent gaminess. In the frigid weather, it was a delicacy worth relishing.

Jonathan, Fekro, and Torrence sat facing each other, sharing a toast and indulging in some wine. Meanwhile, Yeverie, ever the obedient companion, nestled close to Jonathan.

Torrence sensed Jonathan's intent to persuade Fekro at this moment and was intrigued by the methods he would employ to convince such an individual as Fekro. As the flames danced and cast flickering shadows, Yeverie, weary with the day's happenings, felt her exhaustion grow, and her eyelids became heavy with the desire to sleep.

Suddenly, Jonathan broke the silence. “Fekro, our meeting and this shared moment are the workings of fate. I wish to engage in an earnest conversation with you.”

Fekro raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “What do you wish to discuss?”

Jonathan posed a question. “What drives a human being to live? Torrence, let me ask you first: why do you fight for survival?”

Caught off guard, Torrence faltered for a moment before responding, “Well, that's because I'm alive. I can't possibly seek death when I'm alive, can I? I've not pondered extensively on the purpose of my existence, though.”

Turning his gaze to Fekro, Jonathan pressed on. “What about you, Mr. Fekro?”

Fekro's countenance shifted as uncertainty clouded his features. After a brief pause, he replied, “I—”

Jonathan seized the moment to interject, “Allow me to guess. You once lived to serve Theos, dedicating your life to her cause and putting Supreme Sect's interests above your own. Am I correct?”

Fekro could only nod in agreement, his eyes locked with Jonathan's discerning gaze.

“That's right!” he said without refuting Jonathan.

Jonathan continued, “Hence, you're currently discontented with your predicament. You neither desire death nor wish to betray your former faith by aligning with me. Theos' influence and Supreme Sect's hold on you are unyielding, correct?”

Fekro's expression faltered as a mixture of bitterness and resignation washed over him. “It seems there is nothing I can hide from you.”

Unperturbed, Jonathan pressed on. “Listen to me, Fekro. While I lack faith, I cherish life and fear death. Death is a desolate path to tread, and its ultimate destination is shrouded in mystery. Have you all ever contemplated what lies beyond the veil of mortality?”

Perplexed, Torrence, Fekro, and even Yeverie struggled to grasp what he meant.

“Mr. Fekro, have you considered what awaits us after someone has died?” Jonathan posed another question.

Fekro faltered, uncertain of his response.

However, Jonathan urged him to speak. “You need not hold back! At this juncture, let us be honest with each other. We have arrived at a moment where honesty is paramount. After all, perhaps you're the one closest to death. In our lives, there are many things we can choose and many more we can regret, but we only live once. Once we die, there's no turning back. So, this topic is worth discussing as none of us have experienced death firsthand!”

Fekro realized that he couldn't play any of his usual tricks to deceive this astute young man before him. He acquiesced, feeling that a straightforward approach might serve him better. “As disciples of Supreme Sect, we are taught not to fear death. Instead, death leads us to the Heavenly World. It's a realm of tranquility and the happiest place in the world. Since death isn't something that we should fear, we naturally look forward to departing for the Heavenly World at the end of our lives.”

Jonathan smiled slightly before remarking, “The Heavenly World?” After a brief pause, he asked, “Well, how do you envision the Heavenly World in your mind? Can you describe it to me with your imagination?”
