"First of all, I'll need you to take care of everything after my rebirth. Of course … "The Island Master was a little hesitant as if he was hesitating about something.
Tang Ling sat with his legs crossed beside the lake. He did not rush the Island Master because his body was in a terrible condition. After knowing that Higan was safe, he could finally relax and seize the chance to recover his body.
Now, he really felt a warm current flowing in his body. Wherever it went, the damaged parts of his body would recover at a steady pace.
Tang Ling speculated that it must have something to do with the Gift of the Sea God that the Island Master had accumulated even though he did not know what method the Island Master had used to allow him to absorb it directly.
Regardless, the initial recovery was the most important. If it was possible, Tang Ling would rather take a break to prevent himself from harming his core.
The Island Master went silent for more than ten seconds before he finally said, "Of course, I don't want to use any methods to restrict you. I just want a promise from you."
How … Tang Ling could not find any adjectives to describe how he felt after hearing the Island Master's words. Was it ridiculous? Not exactly!
However, in this era that lacked trust, entrusting his life to someone who was not even close to him felt unreliable.
Was his promise more reliable than any kind of restriction? Even Tang Ling could not answer the question. The only thing he was sure of was that he had never broken his promise in the past.
It seemed like Tang Ling did not answer in time due to his shock, which made the Island Master feel bad. The Island Master's tone changed. "What? You don't want to promise? "
The Island Master wanted to bet everything on this.
Tang Ling shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to promise, but if I promise, will you … Will you feel better?"
"As long as you promise." That was what the Island Lord of the deserted island said.
Tang Ling thought about it for a while and said, "I promise that I'll take care of everything after your rebirth, provided it's within my capabilities."
Since the Island Master treated the promise so seriously, Tang Ling did not want to boast, so he was careful with his promise.
The Island Master was pleased with Tang Ling's answer. "Great. First of all, remember your promise. Just do as I say. Also … I need three days to prepare here. Within these three days, I need you to provide me with your spinal cord blood. "
"Uh …" Tang Ling did not agree right away. He was weak at the moment, yet he had to provide another portion of spinal cord blood. Would he be able to handle it?
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling had a strange feeling that part of the blood in his spinal cord had been extracted, which was why he was so weak.
As for why it was chosen? It might have something to do with Liu He in the dream. He remembered the question that Liu He asked him and Tang Ling's answer was straightforward. He told Liu He about the things that he wanted to accomplish but if an accident happened, he would not be able to.
Therefore, there were the Nether Fishes that were sent to the teenagers in the dream and the blood of the spinal cord that was provided to Ro Li, the East, South, West, and North Disciples …
Tang Ling had no idea when Liu He made his move. The moment he fell into the crack, time and space started to distort.
However, the feeling was not bad. Now that the Island Master made the same request again, coupled with his current condition, Tang Ling was indeed worried about whether he could hold on or not.
The Island Master did consider Tang Ling's condition. When Tang Ling showed his hesitation, he said, "Don't worry. After I'm reborn, I still need to rely on you. Besides, the only hope of escaping this place is on you. I won't let you hurt your origin.
Use the Tear of the Sea God to repair your body. I have a way for you to absorb it directly. "
"Sure." Since that was the case, Tang Ling agreed right away. After all, the Island Master had saved him and Higan.
Making a promise in the future was a little vague, but if he could actually help the Island Master with something now, it would be fine. Tang Ling did not like to owe people favors.
"You're quick to agree. Aren't you going to ask why?" The Island Master was slightly surprised.
"No need. I believe you won't do anything that will harm your rebirth." Tang Ling did not want to pry into the Island Master's secret.
"Great. I have a second request. If I'm reborn, for the next three years, I need three drops of your blood every day. "
"No problem." Tang Ling was more direct this time.
That was the Island Master's request. After that, it went silent.
Tang Ling was still sitting with his legs crossed. It was not that he wanted to recover or anything. It was just a little consideration for the Island Master's feelings at the moment. He said he was reborn, but would he still be himself after that? Even if he could recover his memories, would he still be himself?
Maybe this was just a different kind of inheritance? Who could say for sure?
This moment should be the Island Master's time to bid farewell to Tang Ling. Its energy was limited after all, so this should be its last conversation.
As expected, after another half a minute of silence, the Island Master said, "I should have lived longer. I'm a super vicious beast after all, am I right?"
Before Tang Ling could say anything, the Island Master muttered to himself, "The wisdom of humans is admirable. The world is unpredictable and it says it all. Even I didn't expect that because of my bloodline, I would be lucky enough to become a super vicious beast, but my glory wouldn't last long. I had to seal myself off to linger on with my last breath. I didn't expect that my last moments would be with a human that I'm not familiar with, telling him all these and entrusting my future to him.
"So, the world is unpredictable."
Tang Ling went silent. He wanted to comfort the Island Master, but he could not. After all, a 16-year-old boy would not be able to find the right words to comfort a super vicious beast that was similar to a human old man.
"Don't say anything. My energy isn't enough for me to talk anymore. In the next three days, I'll focus all my energy to prepare. But in the end, whether it's to reward you or to protect my own future, I'll give you a gift. "The Island Lord changed the subject, as if the rare sadness just now was just an illusion.
After that, Tang Ling felt his head swell as if some information was added to it, but he could not read it at the moment.
"It's just some simple information about what I've observed in this space fragment and some resources that I've left behind, how to use them and how to use them. However, you are now severely injured, and it will take some time for your mental strength to recover. Once your mental strength has completely recovered, you will be able to read this information. Otherwise, your brain won't be able to take it, "the Island Lord explained.
Even in the Purple Moon era, it was not a mythical era where one could pass information to others with a single thought. If the Island Master was not a super vicious beast, he could not have done it either.
The brain was not the computer of the old civilization that could transfer information like a hard disk.
Tang Ling was not in a hurry, but he was happy to hear the Island Master's words. The information in the space fragment was very important, and as a super vicious beast, the Island Master must know more than he did.
Deep in his heart, Tang Ling was not sure whether he wanted to return to the real world or not, but if there was no other way, he would still feel sad and worried. After all, he had left something behind in some people, had he not?
After everything was done, the Island Master was a little tired. In the end, it said, "It's time to say goodbye. No matter what, it's my fortune to have someone to talk to in my last moments. I don't want to say anything sad, but I just want to remind you one last thing. I don't know if I should tell you or not … "
Tang Ling was a little curious, but he still waited for the Island Master to continue.
"The girl named Higan has been losing her life force. If there's no special way, she'll die in a month at most."
"What?" Tang Ling bolted up, but the sudden movement caused a sharp pain in his body, forcing him to kneel down again.
Before the Island Master could say anything, Tang Ling spoke in his mind, "Is the Sea God's Gift useful? What about the Sea God's Tear? "
"No. I can use a special way to let you absorb the Sea God's Tear, but that's not her problem. However, this was not her problem. She could not absorb it. Unless … you can find something special, but it's almost impossible to find it here. "
"Then, I'll go out in a month!" Tang Ling did not ask anymore. He was smart enough to know that it was meaningless to ask anymore. Since the Island Master said so, he would find the most feasible way.
The Island Master sighed in its heart when it heard Tang Ling's words. Go out in a month? Tang Ling was probably just daydreaming. If he could understand the nature of the space-time fragments in the space-time turbulence, he would know how ridiculous his words were.
However, the Island Master was about to disappear from this world in a certain sense, so its heart was filled with a sense of melancholy.
It did not want to shatter Tang Ling's hope at this very moment. It understood the relationship between the boy and the girl.
She might as well let Tang Ling accompany the unconscious girl in her final moments with hope.
As for the final tragedy, it could only be diluted with time.
That was the Island Master's thought, so it did not say anything else. It only told Tang Ling about its rebirth before it fell into silence.
It was so calm and without any ripples, just like the end of an ordinary chat. The super vicious beast ended its last conversation just like that, leaving its voice in the world as it began to make its final preparations for a rebirth that no one knew how to define.
Tang Ling struggled to stand up. There was only one thought in his mind at the moment — find Higan!
