: The middle-aged man held a purple crystal in his hand, which turned out he had taken out his remaining eye.
"Friend, you must accept it." The middle-aged man lost his last eye; his body lost all strength and began to fade away.
"Senior, there is still some power in your eyes. You can use this last bit of power to try to reincarnate. Even if the hope is extremely slim, it's still better than having no hope at all." Long Chen said anxiously.
Originally, the remaining power in the middle-aged man's eyes was meant to perish together with the eight ancient corpses. But because Long Chen took away the six corpses, the remaining two corpses absorbed the power of the blood clan and demon clan experts, leaving much of their power behind.
He focused all his power into his eyes and gave them to Long Chen to thank him for helping him complete his mission.
But how could Long Chen possibly want that eye? He hoped the middle-aged man would use this last bit of strength to challenge the Heavenly Dao. Although the chances of success were extremely low, if he didn't take a chance, how could he know the outcome?
"Thank you for thinking of me, but in this world, there is nothing left that I care about." The middle-aged man said.
"You still have a wife and children... Long Chen said hurriedly.
"They are gone. Just now, I couldn't find a trace of causality between them using the Eye of Reincarnation. Clearly, they were already killed long ago and no longer even qualified to enter reincarnation." The middle-aged man said sadly.
"How could this happen? Who exactly killed them? Long
Chen gritted his teeth, murderous intent boiling; he could not accept this outcome.
"Who killed them doesn't matter. What matters is that I failed to protect them, so let me disappear with them!"
The middle-aged man looked at Long Chen apologetically and said, "Because I used the power of reincarnation, the remaining strength was already very limited."
It can no longer help you resist enemies, but if you nurture it with purple blood, it will let you see more things that are invisible and unfathomable.
It's in your hands, and I'm very happy. Even though I've disappeared, my power still influences the world to come, and I feel very proud. The
middle-aged man reached out and placed his purple eyes into Long Chen's hand. Long Chen's body trembled. He knew that this senior of the Tiantong clan was utterly hopeless, with no will to survive, and he couldn't help but feel deeply desolate.
A dignified quasi-emperor-level powerhouse can't even protect his own wife and children—how tragic that is.
"Senior, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Long Chen said solemnly, secretly vowing that no matter what wish this senior made, he would help him fulfill it.
However, the middle-aged man smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "When I activated the Reincarnation Eye, although I didn't see my wife and children, I sensed the fluctuations of the Tiantong clan."
The Tiantong clan has bloodline passed down, so I have no more attachments. My friend, thank you for freeing me.
Perhaps I was born in the wrong era. I dislike martial arts competitions and dislike bloodshed and killing. Many times, I just want to be a mortal, with a wife, children, and elders, living a simple life and simple food.
Please hold my eyes in my eyes, hoping that one day I can let it see a peaceful world, without conflict or killing. This is also my greatest wish. Long
Chen said solemnly, "Don't worry. As long as I, Long Chen, don't die, one day I will overturn this filthy world and restore order. By then, the sky will be blue, the water will be clear, and people will be happy." "
I believe you will definitely pull it off."
The middle-aged man smiled and waved goodbye to Long Chen. But just as he waved his hand, he suddenly scattered into countless crystals, drifting away with the wind and slowly disappearing.
The middle-aged man disappeared, and Long Chen's heart remained unsettled for a long time. After years of warfare, fighting from the mortal realm to the immortal realm, he had met countless people. At a glance, he could tell that this man was a peace-loving and naturally tranquil person.
He wanted to live a peaceful life, to spend his life with his wife and children. It was an extremely simple wish, but just this one wish—a dignified quasi-emperor-level powerhouse—could not be fulfilled.
Even a Emperor-level powerhouse cannot realize a simple dream, so for Long Chen to create a peaceful world with many close female confidants and passionate brothers, wouldn't that be even harder?
Born in chaotic times, even the quasi-emperor-level powerhouses of the Tiantong clan couldn't protect themselves, let alone a mere Divine Sovereign cultivator like him.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became, the more he held his breath. Suddenly, Long Chen mustered all his strength and let out a long, sky-high howl. His roar was like rolling thunder, shaking heaven and earth. The whole world changed color at Long Chen's roar.
Within this long howl was endless frustration, anger, murderous intent, and unwillingness—all negative energies forming a will to destroy and continuing to spread.
"Rumble... The
earth was collapsing, the distant grasslands were being annihilated, and at that moment, Long Chen seemed like a demon king from hell. His killing intent made even the very world tremble.
No one knew how much time had passed before Long Chen's howling ceased. The surrounding space continued to twist, the laws of heaven and earth being destroyed and constantly repaired.
After a long roar, Long Chen finally vented his anger and felt much lighter. Before, he felt like he was going crazy.
Even the lofty Emperor-level powerhouse died in melancholy, which filled Long Chen with endless anger and made his sorrow and helplessness even more palpable.
"Why is it so hard to live the life you want to be?" Long Chen couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Do you remember a medicine called the Infinite Eight Bitter Roots?" At that moment, the voice of the Qiankun Cauldron rang out.
"Birth, aging, illness, death, separation from love, meeting with resentment and hatred, unfulfilled desires, and the burning of the five yin." Long Chen murmured. Of course he remembered. He shook his head and said, "
Birth, aging, sickness, and death—I can accept them. All things have life and death. Why must lovers be separated by life and death?" And who is it that stirs up resentment and hatred? Wishes are simple, so why can't they be asked for?
So what if the Five Yin Blaze is intense? Greed, anger, love, desire, and ignorance—as long as they don't affect others, I love however I want, I love as I wish, and I am obsessed with whatever I want.
Who exactly created the endless suffering in this world? Who is truly controlling the operation of Wandao? Who exactly is blinding people's hearts? "
The more Long Chen spoke, the more agitated he became, his voice growing louder, until it finally formed a rolling thunderstorm. The calm emotions that had just calmed suddenly turned into excitement again.
"Not bad, you're about to hit the key point." There was actually a hint of admiration in the voice of the Qiankun Cauldron.
Long Chen was suddenly startled: "You mean... "
The closer you get to the truth, the more careful you have to be. You should hurry up and improve your strength!" Qiankun Cauldron said.
Long Chen instantly calmed down. The Qiankun Cauldron suddenly introduced the Eight Roots of Infinite Suffering, clearly trying to awaken him. Could it be that these Eight Sufferings are all controlled by someone?
Long Chen slowly lowered his head and looked at the crystal purple pupil in his palm. When Long Chen brought the crystal purple pupil close to his own gaze,
"Buzz!"
The crystal purple pupil trembled slightly, then a scene appeared in Long Chen's mind. As soon as it appeared, he cried out in shock.
