The sudden truth stunned the few of them. Especially Yun Heng. His entire body started to shake. He stood rooted to the ground for a long time, as if he had lost his divine soul.
But the surrounding illusions turned and returned to the scene of Song Ren's first life. It was like a movie that was playing on loop.
Yi Qing and Lonemoon's expressions were complicated. They finally knew where Song Ren's strange hatred towards Yun Heng came from. There was also the endless stream of grievous energy that even Shortie could not get rid of. Why was it that he could only get rid of it when Shen Ying was around? Subconsciously, he probably still wanted to seek justice. Even the Heavenly Dao could not give him justice. Only Shen Ying could.
Yet in this matter, it was impossible to tell who was right and who was wrong. His tragic fourth life was indeed pitiful. But no matter which life it was, what Yun Heng did was indeed a great thing to save the world. If he did not stop the plane storm, perhaps not just Song Ren, but everyone in the small world would probably die. Even their souls would be lost in the cracks between planes, never to be reincarnated.
Yun Heng chose the best way. He even sacrificed himself time and time again. He risked his soul to save the world. So he received the sincere gratitude of everyone in the world. He received a body full of merit and blessings from the heavens. He was favored by the heavens in every life.
From the perspective of justice, no one could say that his choice was wrong. Even if he sacrificed Song Ren. Compared to the whole world, one person was too small. So everyone chose to ignore his voice. Everyone forgot to ask him if he was willing or not.
Yun Heng might have let down everyone in the world, but he had let down Song Ren.
"Why didn't Moldy Ghost's body light up?" Shen Ying tilted her head and suddenly asked a question.
Yi Qing paused for a moment. Knowing that Lonemoon was asking about merit, he explained in a low voice, "Master, although doing good deeds can accumulate merit, there is no specific boundary between good and evil. Therefore, only by receiving sincere gratitude from others can one obtain merit."
"Oh." Shen Ying frowned. "So … no one has ever been grateful to Moldy Ghost?"
"…"
Yi Qing did not reply, and his expression darkened. In his first life, no one knew that he had a part in saving the world. In his second life, he was forced to the altar by everyone. In his third life, there was no need to talk about him. He was a great devil to begin with. Not to mention gratitude, there were countless people who hated him. That was why he became more and more unlucky in each life. Yet, because of the fusion of their souls in the first life, he and Yun Heng had a connection. They would be entangled together in every life.
"Hey, what do you plan to do about this?" Lonemoon nudged Shen Ying and pointed at Yun Heng, who was still in a daze.
"Huh?" Shen Ying looked confused. What does this have to do with me?
"Ah what ah?" Lonemoon glared at her. "This illusion is very clear. Song Ren is looking for you to uphold justice!"
"Sigh, so troublesome …"
"Troublesome your sister. We have to solve it, right? What should we do?"
Shen Ying tilted her head and thought for a moment. "How about cold dressing?"
"…"
This kind of world-class conundrum was really taxing on the brain!
"Speaking of coleslaw … I suddenly remembered that I haven't had dinner yet. Did Chef bring any stock? So hungry! "
"Yes Master, Master will be ready soon!" Yi Qing nodded vigorously. Very professionally, he took out four, five … six … ten dishes from his storage bag. He even set down the table, chairs, bowls and chopsticks.
He gestured for Shen Ying to take a seat first. With a twist of his hand, he summoned the True Phoenix Fire. With a sizzling sound, the dishes that were originally a little cold became hot in an instant. An alluring aroma wafted out.
"Master, we can eat now."
"Cook that plate of pork knuckle a little more. I like crispy ones."
"Yes Master, no problem Master!"
Lonemoon: "…" Son of a b * tch!
At least take a look at where you are right now. We are still in an illusion. Do you think you are watching a movie? You are eating at a table in front of everyone!?
He had the urge to flip the table. He glanced at a certain someone who was already eating. The corner of his mouth twitched. After a while, he sat down at the table and waited for her to finish eating.
In the originally dangerous and unpredictable illusion, the scene changed. The three of them sat around the table and ate crazily. Not far away, a person stood motionless in a daze.
"Hey, I say, recently … have you been eating more and more?"
"Chef, give me one more bowl!"
"Yes Master, no problem Master!"
"…"
***
Two hours later.
Shen Ying, who had finally finished eating, glanced at Yun Heng who had finally regained his senses. He was kneeling in front of her with a determined look on his face.
"Have you decided?"
"Yes!" He cupped his fists in response. All the shock and confusion from before were gone. "I have already remembered what happened in my previous lives. Exalted Masters, please … no! Exalted Immortals, please grant me my wish. "
"You have to think clearly!" Lonemoon stepped forward and reminded him in a low voice. "You originally had the potential to ascend. If you give up now, in your next life … no, you may never be able to ascend."
"I did all that not to become an immortal." He smiled. It was different from the kind smile he had before. Instead, he looked a little relieved. "What's more, I am the one who wronged him. The justice that he wants should naturally be paid by me."
Lonemoon frowned. Seeing his insistence, he could only sigh. After a while, he could not help but ask, "In those previous lives … do you regret it?"
"No!" He did not even hesitate as he shook his head. "If I could do it all over again, I would still choose to do the same. In the face of righteousness, sacrifice is inevitable, even if I have to bear more hatred. It's just that … I hope that I can have a chance to make it up to him. "
At that moment, Lonemoon did not know how to evaluate this matter. He was clearly a good person. For four lives, he had taken it upon himself to save the world. He even sacrificed himself time and time again. Yet he was the one who caused Song Ren's soul to dissipate again and again. His resentment soared to the heavens.
"This is already the best idea I can think of." Yun Heng clenched his fists by his side and said, "Even if it might be meaningless, at least give him a fair chance."
"Alright!" Shen Ying nodded and glanced at Chef beside her.
Only then did Yi Qing conjure a seal with one hand. A beam of white light flew out from his hand, and there was a loud clang. The entire illusion immediately broke into thousands of pieces and disappeared like a broken mirror.
They once again returned to the Northern Region that was filled with Yin Qi. However, there was an additional black figure hovering in the air a few meters in front of them. He floated in the air, surrounded by pitch-black resentment that was as dark as ink, carrying a violent and crazy aura. Although they could not see his figure clearly, they could feel that there were two sharp, blade-like gazes directed at Yun Heng, as if they were going to pierce through him.
Yun Heng took a few steps forward and looked up at the black figure in the air. He could not tell what emotions he was feeling. Guilt, regret, or relief … there were all sorts of emotions. He stared at the black figure for a while, then said in a low voice, "I know it's too late to do anything now, but … I hope to give you a chance to start over."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black figure in the air seemed to have lost control. Suddenly, it turned into a black fog, covering the sky and earth as it pounced towards Yun Heng. Like a sharp blade, it pierced several holes in Yun Heng's body.
Glaring fresh blood stained his entire body. But with his last breath, Yun Heng conjured a seal with both hands! In the next moment, a red light lit up. The blood in his body surged out crazily, directly turning into chains that trapped the entire ball of resentment Qi.
A huge golden array appeared in the air, covering the two people below. Yun Heng's hands did not stop moving, quickly conjuring array seals. Then, he said word by word, "I am willing to use my blood to build your vitality, I am willing to use my soul to forge your divine soul! I sacrifice everything I have in exchange for your rebirth. "
