Chapter 1129 Reap What You Sow!
Chapter 1129 Reap What You Sow!
In a strange, mysterious domain filled with countless stars and cracked space, two silhouettes were flying at a terrifying speed, leaving behind trails of lights. One of them was a handsome man, and he was holding a tiny ethereal seed that was half black and half white, enveloped in a translucent sphere.
“We finally found it! Now, we can cure him of that damnable curse!” The man exclaimed with excitement. He looked at the ethereal seed with agitation as if it were the most precious treasure, and he was afraid it might vanish from his grasp!
The second silhouette was a woman wearing a mask. She nodded with deep affection and worry in her starry eyes, “All we need to do now is give it to him, and he’ll be able to live on!”
“Heh, I’m happier about him not being a cripple anymore!” The man stated matter-of-factly with a hint of relief.
“Hmph, he can live as he likes. Besides, it’s been many years since we left him. With the seal, he’ll be aged just like normal humans, and he might already be at the dawn of his middle age. He might already have married someone! We have to be prepared!” the woman retorted with a clear anxiety in her voice.
The man’s elation suddenly vanished into smoke, and a pained expression appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and spat, “Our son was destined to rule over heaven, yet he falls under those vile fossils’ schemes! I can’t accept outliving my own son! He’ll understand once we explain everything to him. Even if he has a wife or children, we can just train them as well!”
The woman hesitated for a moment before she said, “Maybe we should keep this to ourselves and keep him away from them. Don’t forget what the senior said to us when he saved him. He said even if we managed to find this seed, his inborn talent would be forever gone, and he’d have only ordinary talent. “So, we should keep our burden to ourselves and support him the best we could. This is the only way we can pay him for not being able to protect him. Let him live his life as he wants until he leaves this vile world, and then we can just follow him by dragging those old ghosts with us!” Tears suddenly filled her eyes before dense killing intent filled with hatred shone in them.
“Sigh…maybe you’re right…” The man sighed ruefully as his eyes were just like the woman’s, laced with hatred and killing intent when he remembered about the past.
However, at this moment, their expressions suddenly changed, and they instantly stopped flying. In front of them, there were nothing but cracks in space.
“Come out!” The man roared, and a powerful aura suddenly spread out, making the surrounding space tremble. He then quickly opened his mouth and swallowed the seed in his hand, afraid of losing it. The woman’s eyes also started to shine in stellar light. She was ready for a fight. “Sages or White Crown, how did you find us?” She coldly questioned, hinting at disbelief. freёwebnovel.com
At this moment, an ethereal voice unknown and a figure unseen rang, “One who walks where time has been, and where time yet shall be. I hold the echoes of a forgotten lore, the whispers of futures forevermore. I am the paradox, the endless refrain, where beginnings meet and endings wane. Who am I?”
The riddle-like voice speaks with a knowing grin: “The answer lies not without, but within.”
Both the man and woman’s expressions suddenly changed with disbelief as they blurted. “It’s you!”
“Senior Venerable Diviner!”
“Hahaha, long time no see, Sage Owen, Sage Stella!” The mysterious voice suddenly turned into an amiable old man’s voice as his hearty laughter rang before a tall, skinny old man with a wrinkled face but long black hair. His eyes were completely white, and he was wearing full white as he walked out of the space. Both Owen and Stella were incredulous but wary when this Venerable Diviner suddenly showed up in this place, which should have been a secret to them.
Still, they respectfully nodded in acknowledgment since they knew it was this old man who saved their son in the past and gave them clues about this place that could probably save him. It won’t be wrong to say that they were only able to find this place because of this old man’s clues. But his sudden emergence irked them in a wrong way. “What are you doing here, Senior?” Owen asked with his guard up.
The Venerable Diviner chuckles, his voice echoing in the scarred space. “Indeed, a long time has passed, Sages.” He strokes his long, white beard, his eyes glinting with an unknown amusement.
“The winds of fate have shifted once more,” He continues, his voice taking on a poetic cadence.
“A tangled thread I sensed afar, A tapestry woven with curse and scar. My sight, though dimmed, saw potential bloom, A seed of hope amidst the consuming gloom.
“Yet fate’s grand dance requires a guiding hand, To nudge it forward, across the shifting sand. Tell me, Sages, when fortune’s wheel does turn, Is kindness the only lesson, or a lesson to be spurned?”
The riddle was subtle, but Own and Stella could still guess what he was trying to imply. But they weren’t sure since no one had ever been able to guess this mysterious entity’s real thoughts, as he knew how to hide them in those strange riddles.
“We can’t understand your profound words, Senior. But if there’s nothing important, please let us pass since we need to save our son. You know better than anyone what kind of condition he’s in. We’ll properly thank you for your past kindness once we save him!” Stella spoke with a hint of coldness. She was starting to have a foreboding feeling. She knew the Venerable Diviner was aware of their plight and the importance of the seed. However, his intervention didn’t seem entirely selfless anymore, which is a complete contrast to the past.
Even in the past, she had guessed that he deliberately helped them when he saw an opportunity in them, but she didn’t care at that time since all she could think was saving her son.
The Venerable Diviner chuckled as if he didn’t care about the couple’s vigilance against him and replied, “I think there’s no need for you to deliver this seed to young Ace anymore. My seal had already been broken, which could only mean two things.
“First, he’s no longer alive, or second, someone even more powerful than me intervened. But the chance of the latter happening is impossible. Still, even if someone else broke the seal, he won’t be able to live for long once the curse flares up again, and you both won’t be able to make it in time.
“That’s why I’m here to demand the seed since young Ace didn’t have any more use for it. This will end the karma between us. In return, I can send you to him so you can be untied in the afterlife. So, please don’t make it difficult for this old man!”
Owen’s eyes widened in disbelief, and Stella’s body started to shake as a deadly aura suddenly gushed out when they heard the Venerable Diviner’s words.
“Die!”
The next moment a terrifying battle unfold in this strange domain which no one could witness!
