Chapter 302: Chapter 234: Why Won’t That Existence Take Action (First Update) (Looking for Subscriptions, Monthly Tickets) _1
At this moment, Shi Hao looked pale, with his energy withering to its extreme, as his body staggered on the brink of collapse.
His chest was enveloped in a faint glimmer of light, the a spot where the Supreme Bone used to be. Now, there was nothing left but a gaping bloody hole that went as deep as the bone, marked with unusual runes. These runes were barely hanging onto the last vestiges of the boy’s life, preventing him from falling immediately.
“Child, child… how are you feeling?”
After a moment of stupefaction, Shi Yun Feng quickly stepped forward.
His face was filled with sorrow as he worriedly realized an old man would be sending off a young one, which was now becoming a reality.
“I’m fine, Clan Leader Grandpa. I’m just a bit tired and want to rest a bit!”
Seeing Shi Yun Feng, Little Rock managed to muster up a smile.
He was probably just really tired, wasn’t he? After all, his body felt so heavy, all he wanted to do was get a good rest.
“Hold on a little longer, child. Don’t fall asleep, grandpa will take you home. We’ll sleep well, then when you wake up, you will be as lively as ever!”
At this moment, Shi Yun Feng could no longer control his emotions. The old man, who was already in his seventies, sobbed aloud.
Many years of experiencing the ups and downs of life had left their mark on him. He had traveled to many places when he was young, but ultimately returned to Stone Village, living a lonely life. Now, finally having a beloved younger generation who made him happy only to end up in such a state.
And him, he could do nothing but watch as Shi Hao’s breath weakened, completely powerless to change anything.
Seeing an old man crying so desolately would break anyone’s heart.
In the back, the people of Stone Village had already begun to sob uncontrollably.
Shi Hao’s childhood friends, Snotty, Er Meng and so forth, all turned their heads away, not wanting Little Dot to see their tears.
Shi Hao still held on. He wanted to see his parents one last time.
Shi Ziling couple, having received the news, rushed over. Upon seeing Little Dot’s state, they both began crying uncontrollably.
They paid a tremendous price, not only did they invite the famous Divine Doctor Zhang Zhong from the Lower Realm, they also managed to acquire a divine medicine that could save a life. However, they all proved futile.
Shi Hao’s injuries were simply too severe. His Supreme Bone and the ten rounds of Cave Sky he had opened up were all blown to pieces, and his God Soul had been cursed by the elder from the Immortal Palace. Unless there was an immortal in this world, there was no way to reverse the situation. His death was inevitable.
Above the sky, the setting sun was crimson, casting a desolate blood-red hue over half the sky.
When the first rays of dawn broke out the next day, Shi Hao drew his last breath, dying in the arms of those around him.
“My child, in your next life, you must be an ordinary person. Don’t ever play the hero!”
Qin Yining wiped the tear stains from the corner of her eyes.
She had only just reunited with her eldest son before facing the harsh reality of being separated by death. Her heart was on the brink of breaking.
Everyone cried their eyes red.
They were still awaiting a miracle to happen, for Shi Hao was extraordinary. Throughout history, he was the first to grow two Supreme Bones. Everyone was looking forward to the possibility of the youngster reversing his fate, but that miracle never happened. Little Dot had stopped breathing altogether, his body slowly cooling and growing stiff.
A few days later, news of Shi Hao’s death in battle reached Stone Kingdom.
In the vast Stone Kingdom, there was an immediate wave of sobbing.
Everyone was crying uncontrollably.
Countless citizens spontaneously put on white clothing, took to the streets, and began to mourn for Shi Hao. Within their cries, one could feel the grief at the loss of the young boy.
This was precisely the moment of national lamentation.
Although Little Rock was young, he was unambiguous in rewarding and punishing, full of love for the people. Soon after he came into power, he quelled the rebellion, brought peace to Stone Kingdom, and issued numerous rules during his tenure. With less labour and light taxes, he cracked down on corruption, truly considering the daily life of the thousands of citizens at the bottom of society.
Moreover, they had all heard that the Human Emperor could have had the opportunity to escape, but chose to sacrifice everything with them in the end, in order to protect them.
This was a genuinely good Human Emperor, who had now fallen in battle.
…
According to Shi Hao’s last wish.
Shi Yun Feng, and Shi Ziling and his wife Qin Yining buried him next to the Shrine of the Willow God.
He said he could see the Willow God from here, and also see the familiar figures from Stone Village.
The funeral was simple and was not announced to the outside world, but a large group of people still gathered in Stone Village.
Among the attendees were princes of Stone Kingdom, powerful figures from other ancient countries, and sect leaders from the Great Sects.
The funeral procession was long, but until dusk fell, nobody was willing to leave early.
The lamentation echoed, tearful cries almost reaching the sky, heartbreaking.
Everyone knew that the lively and talented young man would never wake up again.
On the day of the burial, Shi Ziling couple were filled with sorrow to the point of nearly fainting from heartbreak.
“Why couldn’t they save my child, why?!”
Qin Yining sobbed uncontrollably.
“Village Chief, didn’t Hao Er say that there was a very mysterious, very ancient powerful force nearby which had agreed to protect him? Why did Hao Er still die in battle?!”
The woman cried out with heart-wrenching grief.
“This child is worried that the last deity will attack the countless citizens of Stone Kingdom, so he is reluctant to step into the formation to hide. He risks his own life to forcibly kill that deity!” Shi Yun Feng said.
“The powerful existence of the mysterious force, having already promised to grant protection, why can’t they step in to save at last?!” Qin Yining said with a face full of grief.
“We once prayed for that existence to take action, but the other party said that this was a catastrophe destined for Little Dot, and he has to overcome it by himself!” Shi Yun Feng sighed.
The old man was also very confused, wondering why the mysterious entity in Liu Village watched Shi Hao die in battle without stepping in to save him.
He could feel that with the other party’s strength, it would be easy to kill that deity. Even catastrophe could be easily resolved.
“However, the existence also said that the vitality in Little Dot’s body is still alive. It’s wrapped in a very strong power and may have a chance to see the day again in the future!”
Shi Yun Feng recalled something and said immediately after.
“Is…Is that true?”
Couple Shi Ziling almost simultaneously raised their heads, and a flicker of hope appeared on their faces. Because of such a transcendent existence, they perhaps knew the secrets that they couldn’t see.
“Chief, we would like to visit that existence, could you lead the way?”
Qin Yining humbly asked.
“The old one is willing!” Shi Yun Feng nodded immediately.
However, they were bound to return disappointed.
Because Jiang Hui did not show up at all, from beginning to end.
Indeed, he had promised Willow God to lend his protective power at the critical moment, but only once.
Now that the agreement had been fulfilled and the cause and effect eliminated, he would not show up unless necessary.
The catastrophe is over, the next will be a period of rare peace development, the priority is to take this opportunity to develop Liu Village. The turmoil of the outside world is already none of his business.
“It seems that the existence does not want to see us, let’s go!” Qin Yining opened her mouth, her face clouded with disappointment.
Her gaze was profound, looking into the distance, all she saw were towering peaks inverted into the earth and the dense fog surrounding them, with no end in sight…
They had been waiting here for a long time, the mysterious entity must be able to sense it, but the other party did not show up, obviously not wanting to appear.
Shi Yun Feng sighed heavily and didn’t know what to say.
…
The eastward flowing water, the falling leaves, the small white poplars by the river grow stronger, one after another, in between the rise and fall of the sun.
On the ground, the white poplar fluff fluttered and flew around; it was like a great snowfall…
In a blink of an eye, a year had passed swiftly.
During this year, many things happened in the Wilderness, and so many things happened in Stone Village.
Qin Yining did not return to the Upper Realm but chose to stay in the Lower Realm, accompanying Shi Hao’s tomb.
Shi Zi Ling planned to avenge Shi Hao, and as early as a few months ago, he had gone to the Upper Realm alone.
Shi Hao’s tomb had been cleaned again and again, not a weed grew on it, and outsiders often came to pay their respects.
Compared to before, the small tomb seems to have become a bit shorter, and the spiritual energy is even more abundant…
On top of the tomb, a cluster of peculiar tiny lush green grass had grown, becoming even more abundant and luxuriant. In the breeze, it swayed and radiated a bright light, quite exceptional…
…
Inside Liu Village.
After a year of hard work and devil-like training in the Divine Tomb Trial Ground, the strength of Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen and others can be said to have progressed by leaps and bounds.
They entered the Array Realm a year ago, being called the king among humans. Now they have made further progress, transcending the past. With the aid of the Little Nirvana Pill opened from the dragon egg by Jiang Hui, by the beginning of the second year, several people have successfully stepped into The Realm of The Noble.
This is already the pinnacle among ordinary cultivators, transcending the mortal world, and has a slight possibility of igniting The Divine Fire.
For other beings, the rules of the Lower Realm Eight Domains are inherently not complete, especially in the chaos, they are almost shattered. Wanting to Ignite The Divine Fire, stepping on the Divine Position there is almost no such possibility, only entering the Upper Realm can continue to seek the Great Taoist.
But Liu Village is different.
Under the cover of the Utopia Array, it has its own realm, unaffected by the shackles and influences of the Lower Realm Eight Domains rules. Moreover, it is rich in spiritual energy, even capable of transforming rain, and there are many precious and rare treasure medicinal plants, comparable to the superior Cave Heaven Place in the Upper Realm.
Apart from Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, and the Lin Zhuang Lin Chen brothers, the remaining ones were the Broad Sword Man with Sword King Body, Half-demon Teenager and the Desolate Prince with Seven Apertures Delicate Heart.
Finally, it was Lin Hai who had activated the Ancestral Witch Destiny Symbol.
Actually, by all accounts, Lin Hai’s talent was the most outstanding among them. Ancestral Witch Destiny Symbol comes from Primal Chaos, once Completion has been reached, one can step into the position of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, more terrifying than Ten Evil.
But because of this.
After a period of rapid growth, Lin Hai came to a long period of stability.
The Ancestral Witch, standing tall and upright, opened up heaven and earth, holding up the nine domains in the upper realm, and stepping on the green abyss in the lower realm.
The emphasis was on force to break through the sky, and the bizarre mystic force inherited in the bloodline, neither of which was possible to achieve overnight and needed a long time to accumulate, unless other witch’s blood could be absorbed.
However, the latter possibility was rather rare, Jiang Hui hadn’t seen it yet until now.
