Chapter 54.1
“The people who attacked the demons and heaven’s realm this time have been wiped out by the Azure King.”
The messenger from the demon’s realm was dressed in a plain robe, with his jaw on the ground, and quietly reported to the heavenly emperor.
The emperor nodded: “Very good, very good. I didn’t expect Azure King to be so capable. I would dare to ask where Azure king is now? She was successful in suppressing the evil this time, and I want to give her a good reward.”
“Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, but there’s…no need…” The demon envoy placed his hands on the ground and clenched them into fists. After a long silence, he finally controlled his emotions, and said in grieve:
“The Azure King has been killed in battle.”
The Heavenly Emperor was stunned for a moment, but before he had time to react, he heard a “squeak” sound.
Someone actually pushed open the door of the Celestial Conference Hall and entered without an invitation.
In the backlight, a person in a white robe stood at the door. The people in the room couldn’t see the expression on his face. He had been standing there for a long time, seeming to be distracted and in a daze.
But when he stepped into the house, his expression was no different from the past… In the backlight, a person in a white robe stood at the door. The people in the room couldn’t see the expression on his
face.
He had been standing there for a long time, seeming to be distracted and in a daze. But when he stepped into the house, his expression was no different from the past.
“How come the High God is here?” The emperor stood up to greet him, but Xing Zhi didn’t stop as if he hadn’t heard the emperor’s words.
He just stared at the envoy of the demon world and asked: “Just now, who are you talking about?”
The envoy saw him and bowed respectfully and said:
“Back to the High God, the Demon’s realm Shen Li, also known as Azure King, died yesterday on the eastern sea.”
Xing Zhi was silent for a long time, and then shook his head: “Absurd, how can you report such news without verification?”
As soon as this statement came out, not only the messenger was stunned, but even the Emperor was shocked.
The communication between the two realms must be accurate, no one would report unless verified. How can the messenger not know this kind of thing…?
The messenger bowed to the ground: “If I lied about this, this humble servant is willing to be struck by a thousand lightning”
Xing Zhi looked cold: “Don’t swear before the gods, your wish may be fulfilled.”
The messenger clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles were white, and his voice couldn’t conceal his grieve
“High God may not know this, but this servant meant what he said, if I’m lying, then I don’t mind being struck by lightning.”
There was a moment of silence in the room. You couldn’t even hear the breath of the people present; it was like a heartbeat that had stopped.
“Where is the corpse?” Xing Zhi said, after all that, he had to believe the news.
“The Azure King died with the enemy in the Eastern Sea. When the corpse disappeared into the sea, it was impossible to find it. The general who rushed away at that time only recovered two broken pieces of her spear.”
There was moment of silence and then Xing Zhi said
“Where in the Eastern Sea…?”
” The sea is wide my lord, after the general who found the broken spear came back, he could no longer find the exact location again…” The messenger seemed to feel regret,
“No one knows where the King is now.”
Xin Zhi felt like something was passing through his heart, the pain was as if his blood would overflow, and an invisible force was gripping the wound fiercely, trying to stop the blood from exploding but instead, only leaving him without a pulse.
But Xing Zhi’s complexion was as usual, as if he was feeling nothing, and said to the emperor:
“Yesterday, I noticed a slight airflow in the outer sky, and I seemed to feel something was happening in the lower realm. Today I heard that Azure King died in the human realm, and there must be a fierce fight before she lost her life. Azure King is powerful, if they could cause her harm, then the others are a threat and harmful to the human world. I want to explore the lower realm. I don’t know what the heavens will do?”
Saying like that, Xing Zhi left no room for rejection, so the Emperor just nodded.
“This would be fine, May I find some helpers for you?”
“No, they will get in the way.”
Although it was normal for Xing Zhi to say a few embarrassing words to the emperor, normally he wouldn’t be so straightforward.
The emperor coughed twice: “So, High god will take care of this, I hope you take care of yourself.”
When Xing Zhi was about to turn around and go out, the envoy of the demon world called him:
“High God, please wait. The general present said that he had heard the spell from the enemy. He used the water stop technique. And as far as the humble messenger knows, in this world, only the High God knows this technique. This humble servant does not doubt the lord, but…”
“Stop water technique?” Xing Zhi glanced at the envoy
“It shouldn’t be the real Stop water technique” After that, without further explanation, he turned and left.
On the way to the lower realm, he thought to himself that not long ago, he was still thinking that Shen Li might become a troublesome existence, so it was better for her to disappear, but he never thought that she would really disappear so easily. He never thought that if she really disappeared, he would feel so empty.
Xing Zhi reached the human world in an instant. The emperor was right. He is the High God, and he belongs to the world.
This life is no longer his own. He should protect the common people of the Three Realms and put the overall situation as the most important. He has so many impossibilities in his life…
The clouds on the sea were low, the wind was surging, the rainstorm was approaching. Xing Zhi was standing on the Eastern Sea, watching the sky-turning waves below, listening to the thunder roaring above, still, for him, the world was silent.
Chapter 54.2
“Shen Li.” He whispered her name, the tight wound in his heart seemed to be suddenly torn apart, and the biting cold wind was infused within his body. He looked around, looking for someone, but the vast sky was desert. Where could he find her?
A thunderbolt passed by, and the rainstorm was pouring in an instant.
He stood in his white clothes between the sky and the sea, lightning, and thunder, passing through.
Lightning could harm even the body of a god, but he was in the transition of light and shadow at this moment.
After the deafening thunder, he suddenly saw a figure struggling in the huge wave. She stretched out her hand and asked him painfully for help:
“…please…help…” She said before a giant wave buried her head.
His pupils shrank, without thinking, he rushed down almost instinctively. He reached out and fished, only to catch a handful of seawater flowing from his fingers…
It was an illusion…
The giant wave stopped on its own movement and then rushed forward, he only stared at his empty palm, dumbfounded.
In the waves, he could not hear thunder, but each flash of lightning was like a sharp blade that splits time and space, bloodily cutting out the memories related to Shen Li from his mind.
Those pictures of joy or anger at this time became a knife to torture him, over and over again, piercing countless holes in his heart, the memories were bleeding out of him, letting him in a panic trying to hold them all tightly. He was cover to death with all of them, like blood rushing out of all his nooks and crannies, and then like the teacup that broke yesterday, that broke and made a mess, making people at a loss and unable to clean up.
He suddenly remembered that not long ago, Shen Li was still teasing him, saying that since meeting him, she was always being injured, she said that eventually being near him would kill her.
How did he answer? He seemed to say… he would pay her with his life.
Shen Li was now asking him to fulfill his promise.
The corner of Xing Zhi’s lips twitched a chuckle. After the waves passed, Xing Zhi was completely drenched.
Shen Li, Shen Li…You took it too seriously.
He raised his arm and touched the waves that just hit him with his fingertips. A white light flashed, and the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly became much closer, the temperature was lower, and his lips opened slightly.
He whispered a spell softly, and an extremely cold light swept across the sea and sky, in just a moment, thousands of miles of the sea had frozen into ice.
Xing Zhi stood on the undulating sea, but at this moment, what was under his feet was an ice surface as hard as bluestone.
The waves were still in the shape of the waves, but they were no longer flowing. The thunderclouds scattered in the sky and the raindrops turned into ice particles, rustling down, rolling everywhere.
There was no sound between the sea and the sky as if everything had returned to silence.
Xing Zhi quietly stepped on the ice, and with every step a golden light flashed, wavering several feet away. He seemed to be looking for something, focusing only on his feet.
He thought that even if Shen Li was turned into ashes, he would still find her ashes in the ocean.
He walked forward step by step, not distinguishing the time, the day, and the night, every step was focused on Shen Li.
But the Eastern Sea had no end, no matter how long he walked, in front of him was only this frozen sea, nothing else.
“High God…”
A person in front of him blocked his way, he looked up at her: “What’s the matter?”
Youlan quietly knelt down on the ice:
“I hope High God will understand the sufferings of the common people, the Eastern sea has been frozen for ten days and ten nights, the lives of the Eastern sea are miserable, High God…”
Seeing Xing Zhi’s eyes were red because of the long absence of rest, Youlan with pale lips, lowered her eyelids and said softly, “I’m sorry for your loss…”
This shouldn’t have been said to the god. Gods cannot be emotional, they are people who have no sorrow. Since there is no sorrow, how can she be sorry for his loss?
Xing Zhi looked at the endless sea in the distance and smiled quickly: “Is it obvious?”
Youlan bowed her head and dared not answer.
Xing Zhi stopped and took two steps forward:
“In the past, I never knew how big the Three Realms were. With the body of a god, wherever I go, it is a momentary thing. However, only now I know that the Three Realms are so big that even Eastern Sea is too big.”
He smiled, “It’s also God’s will if I can’t find it.”
After saying that, he waved his hand, the water stop technique was withdrawn, the atmosphere between heaven and earth changed greatly, and the ice on the sea slowly dissipated.
With the removal of the spell, Xing Zhi felt a pain in his chest.
By freezing the Eastern Sea, he finally rebelled against the Heavenly will. Now he was paying the price.
A mouthful of blood gushed out from his throat.
Youlan was shocked, but came forward and supported Xing Zhi: “High God, are you ok?”
Xing Zhi shook his head and wanted to say “It’s okay “, but when he opened his mouth, another mouthful of blood came out, falling on the ice that hadn’t melted yet.
Xing Zhi grinned. With a smile, he stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth. How could he have thought in this life that he would still be so embarrassed?
It turned out that this was the taste of being bitten by the power of heaven. After hiding all this time, after all, he couldn’t avoid it.
If he had known, he would have treated Shen Li a little better, at least, he could have protected her from those serious injuries…
He could’ve told her… that he liked her…
It’s a pity that he couldn’t say it anymore.
It’s a pity that Shen Li couldn’t hear it anymore.
TL/note: Wow that chapter ending was so freaking sad. But… I won’t lie, I was a little happy to see that Xing Zhi was FINALLY affected by something, maybe I’m being too mean, but come on! It took her death to make him emotional. I hope now he stop with all the hesitation and begin to search for a way for them to be together, oh, and maybe stop the evil creatures and all that… but mostly, for them to be together xD
( I’m pretty sure she didn’t die, being the protagonist and all.)
