Another World Arrives: The Emperor's Identity is Exposed by His Daughter

Chapter 544: Live a life of less suffering, die a peaceful death!
Listen?

Is this something a 22-year-old girl should say?
Even a person in their seventies or eighties wouldn't say something like that.

Tao Zhiming gave a wry smile and said, "You're only twenty-two years old. Your real life has just begun. Why would you say that you've already passed your prime?"

Shen Yan said, "You're not much older than me, and age doesn't represent seniority. Everyone's life is different, so naturally, I think I've already lived through the best years of my life. Is there a problem with that?"

Tao Zhiming said, "What you said makes a lot of sense."

Tao Zhiming actually agreed with Shen Yan's statement.

However, Tao Zhiming wasn't the kind of person who was completely clueless; he was just a bit more persistent than others.

Tao Zhiming asked curiously, "When do you consider your best years and times to be?"

Shen Yan stated frankly, "It was the summer when I was eighteen."

Tao Zhiming said, "The summer when I was eighteen was indeed a very good time."

Shen Yan said, "You may have misunderstood."

"A misunderstanding?" Tao Zhiming was even more puzzled.

Shen Yan said, "My best time was indeed that summer when I was eighteen, but that's not because I wanted to freeze that moment in time forever, because my dream came true that summer."

Tao Zhiming asked, "Dream?"

Shen Yan said, "To my only relative, my grandmother, to take care of her in her old age and see her off in death."

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhiming was stunned.

If that's the case, then wasn't that summer when she was eighteen a time that broke Shen Yan's heart?

After all, Shen Yan's only family member had passed away, and she had no more attachments in this world, so there was naturally nothing for her to remember her by.

But what Tao Zhiming couldn't understand was why Shen Yan would say that taking care of her grandmother in her old age and seeing her off in death was her dream.
Shouldn't Shen Yan have bigger dreams?
"Is taking care of your grandmother in her old age and seeing her off in her final days your dream?" Tao Zhiming asked.

He cannot deny that retirement is a matter of course, but as a dream, does that mean the dream seems too superficial?

Shen Yan sneered and said, "I can't compare to you. I didn't even graduate from junior high school. I entered society at the age of fifteen. I have no family background, no education, no connections, and no advantages of my own. If I continue to live my life, I will only live a mediocre life and worry about my daily meals. So why should I continue to live?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhiming fell silent.

It wasn't just Tao Zhiming.

There are also many viewers in Tiandao's live stream.

They initially thought Shen Yan was suffering from severe depression.

But listening to Shen Yan's own account, what's the point of living a long life?

To live is to suffer.

"Why do I feel like Shen Yan is the one who's truly clear-headed?"

"If people don't want to live anymore, how can they still be considered conscious?"

"She's probably one of those people who has seen her hopes come to an end."

"You all speak so grandly, but isn't she just running away? To put it bluntly, she's a piece of trash, an absolute coward!"

"Yeah, I owe more than three million yuan, but I've never thought about taking my own life."

Many viewers still cannot understand Shen Yan's thoughts.

Of course, many viewers also felt that Shen Yan had reached her limit, that living was just waiting to die, and that there was absolutely no glimmer of hope.

Shen Yan said, "Don't say anything about helping me or exchanging lives. That's completely unrealistic. I'm hopeless. I'm a complete waste of life. Actually, this world is a beautiful place. If there's a next life, I won't come back."

Tao Zhiming asked, "Not everyone is born at a high point. Although there are many benefactors along the way, I am one of them. In terms of background, I am not much better than you."

Shen Yan retorted, "How can this be the same? Even if I have benefactors in my future life, even if I can live a good life in the future, this is not the life I want."

"What kind of life do you want?" Tao Zhiming asked.

Shen Yan said, "I just want to suffer less while I'm alive, and to die peacefully."

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhiming began to understand Shen Yan's inner thoughts. He remained silent for a long time, not uttering a word.

Shen Yan then said, "Boss, I won't bother you any longer."

Say it.

Shen Yan walked away.

Tao Zhiming didn't chase after her, but just watched Shen Yan's departing figure. He felt that he had been taught a lesson by a girl in her early twenties.

Moreover, he benefited greatly from this lesson.

Tao Zhiming seemed to know that Shen Yan was not going to survive.

Even if he could help Shen Yan once and save her temporarily, he couldn't save her for a lifetime.

Tao Zhiming was also selected.

Even in this eight-star difficulty level dungeon featuring mythical creatures from the mountains and seas, he was barely able to save himself.

He no longer has the ability to protect Shen Yan.

Furthermore, Tao Zhiming never intended to protect Shen Yan indefinitely.

Shen Yan is the kind of person who doesn't care about death. Even if she dies here, she will not feel any despair.

Even if Shen Yan were truly capable of passing the trial, she might not necessarily be thinking about how to survive.

Moreover, Shen Yan simply doesn't have that ability.

……

at the same time.

In Zone B2.

A five-year-old girl watched as red fish with wings, making soft chirping sounds, leaped across the waterfall upstream.

The viewers in Tiandao's live stream were, of course, very familiar with this type of fish.

That is the Yingyu recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

These Winning Fish might not even qualify as Level 3 Beasts.

But who says that there can't be low-level alien beasts in Zone B2?

So far, there have been quite a few low-level alien beasts in Zone B of the second trial.

Of course, there are also some level 10+ monsters that appear.

Su Qianqian leaped and landed on top of the waterfall.

One after another, the fish leaped past her.

She also casually caught a fish that weighed just over three pounds.

The fish in Su Qianqian's hand was still flapping its wings, at a frequency comparable to that of a hummingbird.

Despite having such transparent wings, which are like cicada wings, they are able to support the weight of the pillar fish and still stand so tall.

As Su Qianqian turned around, she looked down and saw a purplish-red object moving beneath the waterfall.

Viewers in Tiandao's live stream could see everything clearly through Su Qianqian's live stream footage.

"Water snake?"

"That water snake is so big, it feels like it's comparable to a Titanoboa, right?"

"Could it be the Titanoboa?"

"Who knows, among the mythical beasts of the mountains and seas, there might be a Titan Serpent."

boom!
Suddenly.
