Buzz!
A tremendous suction force pulled Long Chen into the purple crystal, giving him no chance to struggle. Faced with that overwhelming force, Long Chen had no strength left to resist and was directly pulled into a purple world.
The ground was smooth as a mirror, the sky was a deep blue, and a few drifting clouds drifted in the sky, quiet and peaceful. Here, Long Chen even forgot his earlier anxiety.
"Welcome, friend." At that moment, a gentle voice came from behind Long Chen.
Long Chen turned his head and saw a middle-aged man dressed in white, with a refined appearance, standing before him. When Long Chen saw the man's face clearly, he was taken aback.
Because Long Chen discovered that this handsome and refined man had a purple eye as precious as a gemstone, with six divine patterns flowing in that eye, as if one could see the movement of heaven and earth.
"Six Paths... Tiantong"
Long Chen hadn't expected to encounter another powerful member of the Tiantong clan here. However, this refined man had only one eye; the other eye had collapsed, and the eyeball inside had vanished.
"My apologies, I hope I didn't scare you." The refined man gave Long Chen an apologetic smile.
"Senior, you're too polite. What exactly is going on?" Long Chen asked.
The refined man said, "Back then, a war broke out among all races, and almost every race was besieging the human race. At that time, the leaders of the human race—Jiuli, Purple Blood, Tiantong, and others—launched a frenzied assault.
At that time, I fought eight of them, but unfortunately, my strength was too weak to defeat them. I had to self-destruct a Heavenly Eye and kill them..."
"Too weak..."
Long Chen felt his scalp tingle. If the Qiankun Cauldron hadn't revealed the strength of those corpses, he would have almost believed it.
The refined man continued, "But I can only kill their bodies, not their souls and wills."
The bloodline runes remaining within their bodies still possess immense power. If not sealed, they can still possess and regenerate.
So, I used another Tiantong to seal myself and them together. Since my strength wasn't great, dragging them to sleep with me was not a shame for the Tiantong clan. Long
Chen looked at the man with only one eye left. From him, he saw no anger or regret. He was like a kind young man, every word he spoke was so comforting.
From his tone, the so-called lack of ability wasn't a form of self-deprecation or low-keyness—it was simply what he believed.
"Senior, do you hate it?" Long Chen asked abruptly.
The middle-aged man was momentarily stunned, then looked at Long Chen and seemed to understand what Long Chen meant. He nodded and said, "At first, I hated him, but later I stopped. Do you see the floating clouds in the sky?" Long
Chen nodded. As soon as he entered, he saw that in the vast sky, only a few floating clouds floated strikingly.
The man sighed and said, "When I used all my strength to seal them, dark clouds gathered in my world, covering the entire sky."
Those dark clouds are my hatred; I hate that they destroyed this world, destroyed peaceful lives, and caused countless people to die with resentment.
I hate that they made me leave my respected master and beloved family. If I die, they will surely suffer greatly..."
The man's voice was low, as if lost in distant memories. He looked at the floating clouds in the sky and said, "As time passes, those dark clouds gradually disappear, and I no longer hate them so much."
Because I no longer have the strength to hate. Now, in my world, only four floating clouds remain—she is the true love in my heart. He
pointed to the largest flower, a smile appearing on his face, his eyes full of tenderness: "She is my wife, a gentle and beautiful woman, a foolish woman who poured all her true feelings into me."
For her, I am willing to give everything. The moment I first saw her, I swore I would make her the happiest woman in the world.
Those three little floating clouds are our children. Their birth brings us immense happiness; they are the continuation of our lives. I swear, I will never allow anyone to harm them.
But... The people I want to protect, I failed to protect well; the people I want to protect, all I hear is the tragic news of my death in battle. I can't imagine what they would have to imagine when they heard the bad news..."
Hearing this, Long Chen's heart tightened instantly. He felt an overwhelming pain, the pain he feared most. He couldn't imagine how immense suffering his beloved, his beloved, and his brothers would endure if he died in battle one day.
"I hate them so much, I hate their cruelty, and I hate my own incompetence, but as time passes, there's not much I can remember.
I forgot the details of the battle, couldn't recall the names of my brothers fighting side by side, and I couldn't even remember who my mentor was.
The only thing I can remember now is them. I want to hate, but I don't have the strength to hate. I'm afraid that because of hate, I might forget the most important person in my heart. The middle-aged man gazed at the clouds in the sky, his eyes full of tenderness. These four clouds were his most important things.
Long Chen said in a deep voice, "Senior, please don't hate me. When I go out later, I'll blow them up to avenge you. That way, you can abandon the seal and go find your beloved." Long
Chen deeply empathized with the pain of the middle-aged man. He swore to eliminate these corpses and break free from his bonds.
However, Long Chen didn't know if his wife and children were still alive. What if he were reincarnated and married someone else's wife?
But these heartbreaking words were something Long Chen didn't dare to ask. Putting himself in his shoes, it might be even more painful than killing him. Countless years of persistence were the driving force that kept him going.
The middle-aged man said, "Thank you, my friend, but since my strength is inferior to theirs, I have already given up the power of reincarnation to seal them." "
This ..."
Long Chen felt extremely sad inside, but didn't know how to comfort him.
"Don't be sad. As a warrior of the Tiantong clan, I have not brought shame to them. As a husband, I can protect my wife. As a father, I have not brought shame to my children. That is enough, and I am very content." The middle-aged man looked at Long Chen and smiled slightly.
Long Chen looked at the middle-aged man, his heart filled with sorrow. He hated war, but there were always so many people who kept waging war. They could never truly understand the pain war brings.
They seem to feel endless joy when they see others suffer. Do the living beings of this world truly lack awe and gratitude?
"Boom!"
At that moment, the purple world suddenly trembled. The middle-aged man said, "
Their attack has begun."
