Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 297 What exactly do you want?

What does it really mean to be your true self?

This question had been lingering in Tang Nian's mind, leaving her completely baffled.

The trials that Yama, the god of death, arranged for her were even more unbelievable.

Let her experience different lives, yet demand that she always stay true to herself?

However, these two concepts are contradictory and self-contradictory.

If she insists on remaining true to herself, she will inevitably never be able to deeply feel the ups and downs of other people's fates and the joys and sorrows of life and death.

But if you devote yourself wholeheartedly to every unique life experience, how can you be sure that you won't lose yourself and your original state of mind?

The profound meaning contained within was far too obscure and difficult for Tang Nian to understand; no matter what she did, she couldn't make sense of it.

Qian Shiye, who was standing to the side, seemed to understand her anxiety and unease, so he gently comforted her, "Niannian, don't be too anxious. There is still a long time before the end of the third exam. Haste makes waste. The more you rush things, the more likely they are to go against your wishes. So we have to take it slowly and not be too hasty."

In fact, Tang Nian naturally understood the principles Qian Shiye was talking about.

Even though she knew the situation perfectly well, Tang Nian still couldn't remain calm and rational like an outsider when it came to dealing with it with a normal mindset.

However, in order not to worry Qian Shiye too much, after hesitating for a long time, Tang Nian finally nodded gently and replied, "I understand, Shiye."

Although her tone sounded relatively calm, the slight tremor in her voice betrayed her true feelings at that moment.

……

Time passed day by day.

Looking back on the initial days of facing the third exam, Tang Nian often fell into a state of confusion and bewilderment, completely losing her ability to perceive time.

At that time, she seemed to be caught in an endless cycle of life and death, unable to extricate herself.

Having always been alone, this sudden emotional shock left her feeling helpless and lost.

At first, things were relatively good. All Tang Nian experienced was the pain of losing someone, and she only needed to face death on her own.

However, at some point, the situation subtly changed.

A relative who genuinely cared for and worried about her gradually appeared in Tang Nian's life.

It wasn't a fixed person, but for Tang Nian, who had never experienced the warmth of family affection in her previous life, such care felt almost unreal.

So she couldn't help but immerse herself in this rare family affection, enjoying the feeling of being cared for and loved.

Whenever her "parents" pass away, the deep pain in Tang Nian's heart surges out like a flood breaking through a dam, almost causing her to collapse.

Deep in Tang Nian's heart, those who had given her endless love and warmth had long since become her closest and dearest family members.

However, fate always cruelly played tricks on her, causing her to face the pain of separation time and time again.

Every parting is like a deep wound carved into the heart, causing unbearable pain.

At first, even Tang Nian found it difficult to bear the weight of such frequent separations of life and death.

The excruciating pain almost overwhelmed her completely.

As Tang Nian experienced more and more separations and deaths, she eventually became somewhat numb.

She began to learn how to control her emotions and was no longer easily consumed by sadness.

Gradually, she even became able to accurately grasp the best time to leave the third exam, so that she could avoid being immersed in the pain of parting for a long time.

Each time, Tang Nian would choose to leave at the last moment when her loved ones were about to step into the abyss of death. For Tang Nian, this was not an escape, but a last thought she kept for herself.

If one witnesses the passing of a loved one, the despair and helplessness will become an indelible nightmare, no matter how many lifetimes have passed.

At this moment, Tang Nian sat quietly on the edge of the bed, her eyes vacant and lifeless, as if she had lost her soul.

Even after a long time, she was still unable to recover from the sudden disaster.

This time, she was fortunate enough to be born into a loving family, with parents who doted on her and an older brother who cherished and spoiled her immensely.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

A horrific car accident struck without warning, instantly destroying this happy family.

Tang Nian's parents and brother passed away in the blink of an eye, so suddenly and unexpectedly.

Tang Nian closed her eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her shattered heart.

Qian Shiye muttered softly outside the door, "How did it become Nian Nian's brother this time? It's so strange."

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying, "Niannian, it's time for lunch."

Tang Nian finally came to her senses and said, "She's here." Not only Tang Nian, but Shi Ye also felt as if he had been in another world when he saw her.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Qian Shiye knew everything that happened to Tang Nian during the third exam.

Because he always accompanied Tang Nian in various capacities, giving her the best of everything with all his might.

He didn't want Tang Nian to have any lingering trauma from the third exam.

At the dinner table, Tang Nian was clearly absent-minded. She was eating her food but was obviously daydreaming, her mind already far away.

Perhaps sensing what she was thinking, Qian Shiye spoke up, "Nian Nian, are you still worried about the third exam?"

Tang Nian nodded silently.

There were many things Qian Shiye couldn't say, but he had seen Tang Nian's anxious state all this time, and he couldn't bear to see her like that.

After taking a deep breath, Qian Shiye finally decided to remind Tang Nian of a few things. He slowly said, "Nian Nian, for the third test, you still need to feel it from within. Do you know what you really want?"

What exactly does she want?

Tang Nian was clearly bewildered after hearing this.

Actually, she wasn't quite sure what she wanted. From the moment she arrived here, everything seemed like a carefully orchestrated coincidence.

and many more!

Tang Nian knew what she wanted.

She once longed for family and love, and now she has everything.

She hoped that the Douluo Continent would be peaceful and that soul beasts and humans could live together in harmony.

Bibi Dong's conspiracy in the Spirit Hall must not come true.

But what does all this have to do with the third exam?

Tang Nian looked up at Qian Shiye with a puzzled expression, as if waiting for an explanation.

After taking a deep breath, Qian Shiye said, "Niannian, Yama didn't actually specify the content of the third test for you; he was just teaching you how to face it."

"It teaches you how to face things with a calm mind, and asks you what you really want?"

Please vote for me! It's been a while since I asked, haha. One more chapter coming up, the author is writing. Remember to keep warm lately, it got really cold after the winter solstice. I put on my long johns this morning QAQ
