"You sent someone to tell me that as long as I can save your wife, you are willing to pay any price? Is this true? "The voice asked coldly.
"Yes." Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
"Alright."
That ripple enveloped Jing Qiu, who was lying on the ground. After a long while, the voice spoke once more, "Your wife's soul is on the verge of collapse. You want me to save her?"
"I heard that as long as there is a treasure capable of reconstructing one's soul, my wife can be saved. The Temporal Temple has scoured the millions and millions of worlds, the Deity World, and the Dark Abyss. I believe they have such treasures, and quite a few of them." Dongbo Xue Ying said, "I hope that the Temporal Temple can help me save my wife. I will naturally fulfill my promise."
Dongbo Xue Ying was incomparably nervous, and his heart was racing. This was the moment where his wife's fate would be decided.
"Little brat, aren't you overestimating yourself?" The voice said coldly, "A treasure capable of reconstructing one's soul? They are all used by World Deities to repair their True Deity Hearts. Even stage three and four World Deities desire to obtain them. Such a treasure? A little brat like you wants me to treat a Transcendent? "
"I've already grasped three different grade two Deity Hearts, and created a secret skill." Xue Ying continued, "My Mirage Deity Heart is very helpful in refining the World Heart. I believe that it won't be long before I make some progress in my cultivation, and I'll be able to refine the mortal world. At that point, I'll be the Lord of the material world. My main body can stay in my hometown, while my avatar can roam the outside world! I believe that I will be able to obtain even more than this treasure in the future! "
"Little brat, you truly overestimate yourself. Most stage four World Deities wouldn't be able to take out such a treasure. Do you know how powerful stage four World Deities are? They are overlords of their own territories, and are capable of establishing huge empires in the Deity World. They are only a step away from becoming powerful existences, and some of them are even comparable to powerful existences. Such a treasure? It's not something you can obtain just by living for a long time. "The voice said coldly.
Closely following that, the boundless ripple retreated.
Xue Ying was stunned. He stood there foolishly. For a moment, he was completely dumbfounded.
His mind was ringing, and countless thoughts were colliding.
"I failed."
"The Temporal Temple rejected it."
"That's right. To the Temporal Temple, they have plundered countless Transcendents. It doesn't matter if I'm there or not. Even a Lord of a material world would be nothing but an ant to the Temporal Island, one of the three great powers of the God World. "
"For me, it's impossible for it to pay the price to invite a powerful being to help, and it's impossible for it to take out a rare treasure that can recreate a soul …"
…
From afar, Palace Lord Chen, Mountain Lord He, City Lady Bu, and the others were also there. They could also feel the boundless fluctuations descending. Especially when Dongbo Xue Ying spoke, they understood that the Temporal Temple must have descended.
But in the end?
Dongbo Xue Ying stood there in a daze, not moving an inch. His expression made Palace Lord Chen and the others feel sorry for him.
"It seems like it failed," Mountain Lord He said.
"Wizard Jing Qiu's soul injury is too severe. It's on the verge of collapse." Si Kong Yang shook his head, "Ai, it's not easy to save her. Who would have thought that even the Temporal Temple wouldn't be willing to help."
City Lady Bu nodded, "Snow Eagle is an exceptional Transcendent. He's probably extremely rare even in the Deity world. But that's the Temporal Temple … one of the three great powers of the Deity world. Transcendents with great potential might not even be seen by the Temporal Temple. Unless it's a legendary grade one True Meaning Transcendent, the Temporal Temple, and even powerful existences, would take the initiative to rush over. "
"What's the point of saying so much?" Chao Qing's mood wasn't good either.
Suddenly —
Dongbo Xue Ying, who had been standing there for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"I'm too arrogant. I'm indeed too arrogant. I've overestimated myself." Dongbo Xue Ying turned to look at his wife lying beside him. Jing Qiu was still as beautiful as ever, as if she was sleeping soundly. Dongbo Xue Ying squatted down and touched his wife's face, "Jing Qiu, I'm sorry. I really have no other choice … I can't think of any other way."
Dongbo Xue Ying felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
Guilt, self-reproach, pain, unwillingness …
Looking at his wife's face, his mind couldn't help but flash with many scenes. They were all memories of him and his wife together.
… …
The first time he accepted a mission from the Dragon Mountain Manor.
The courtyard door opened, and a green-robed female mage appeared. That was the first time he met her …
… …
During that explosion, he had protected Jing Qiu under the weight of countless falling stone slabs. The two of them were in a dark and sealed environment, and he could even hear Jing Qiu's nervous breathing.
After that, he hugged Jing Qiu's waist and rushed out of the pile of rubble.
… …
Scarlet Cloud Mountain World, Soaring Cloud Peak.
Jing Qiu was cultivating her spells by the side, while he was studying his spear techniques. Sometimes, he would cultivate for an entire day and night. The two of them would cultivate by themselves, occasionally exchanging a few words. However, when their gazes met, they would understand each other's thoughts.
That period of cultivation was truly peaceful and carefree.
… …
Later on, he was poisoned by the hexing poison.
"Don't you know that I only have a lifespan of one to two hundred years? I might not even be able to live for a hundred years? "
"Then from now on, you must always accompany me. We will always be together. We will travel the world, to the ends of the earth, to see everything in our Xia people's world."
"Haha, then I, this sickly invalid, will have to rely on you to take care of me in the future."
"Alright, then you must listen to me."
"I'll listen to you."
… …
Married.
After marriage, they would freely travel the world together.
Behind his free and easy back, he would be tortured by the voodoo poison again and again. Jing Qiu would wipe his sweat and accompany him by his side. Sometimes, he would hide in his room and not allow anyone to enter, rolling on his bed in pain. And Jing Qiu would be extremely anxious outside the room.
… …
They would go to the desert together, go to the plains together, and cross the sea together.
They would open a restaurant together, a porridge shop together, and a dojo together.
They would teach their children together, learn how to paint together, and learn how to carve together.
… …
The war arrived.
Within the Star Pagoda, she had always been holding on. She would rather die than compromise.
At that time, her soul was constantly being consumed, and her injuries were getting more and more serious. Others might not know, but she knew very well how serious her injuries were.
"I'm quite afraid of this war. I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on and save you." This was what his wife said after they won the war.
Dongbo Xue Ying's eyes were filled with tears. "But … I won't be able to save you."
*****
Dongbo Xue Ying squatted beside the recliner, gently caressing his wife's face. He just stared at her blankly like that.
"Weng."
Unknowingly, a majestic figure had appeared beside him. It was that bald man who was at least 20 meters tall and had a huge axe on his back. He stood there, coldly sweeping his gaze across the surroundings.
"Deity's avatar?" The expressions of Palace Lord Chen, Chao Qing, and Mountain Lord He all changed.
"Dongbo Xue Ying!" The space and time around this majestic bald man seemed to be in a mess. His figure was also indistinct. His voice was forceful. "Do you think that you have the qualifications to challenge me after settling the war started by the Sorcerer God and the others? I'll give you Xia people a chance. Hurry up and restore all the Terrene Temple. Prohibit any news that is unfavorable to my Terrene Temple. If you agree, I'll forget about it. Otherwise … "
The bald man extended his hand, and the huge axe on his back appeared in his hands.
"Do you have any rare treasures that can rebuild souls?" Dongbo Xue Ying turned to look at him and asked.
"Rare treasures that can rebuild souls?" The bald man, World Deity Wo Hai, frowned and shouted. "Where did you hear that from? Such a rare treasure is something that a Transcendent like you can ask about? Don't say that I don't have it, even the Qi Lan Monarch doesn't have it. "
"You don't?" Dongbo Xue Ying nodded his head lightly.
"What rare treasures? Did you hear what I said just now? Hurry up and restore all the Terrene Temple. Prohibit … "World Deity Wo Hai hurriedly said.
"Scram!"
Dongbo Xue Ying turned his head and roared.
Boom!!!
With an angry roar, heaven and earth turned dark and misty. An endless gale swept across the heaven and earth and engulfed World Deity Wo Hai. World Deity Wo Hai revealed a furious expression. He held the huge axe in his hand, and the surrounding spacetime was changing. However, he couldn't even move an inch. At the same time, a terrifying force struck his body, causing his body to start disintegrating.
"World, World Power?" World Deity Wo Hai's eyes were wide open. He had descended into this God Doppelganger and didn't know that Dongbo Xue Ying had already reached such a stage. After all, Sorcerer God and Great Demon God didn't tell him everything about the battle.
The World Power was all-pervasive. He couldn't avoid it at all, nor could he.
He was merely at the limits of a Demigod. Before the World Power that Dongbo Xue Ying had mobilized, he couldn't even withstand a single blow. World Deity Wo Hai's body started disintegrating and turning into nothingness. Only the huge axe was left flying and rolling.
The World Power dispersed.
The heaven and earth regained its peace. Dongbo Xue Ying was still squatting beside the deck chair. He extended his hand and carried his wife. Then, he stood up and walked far away.
