My gorgeous wife
Chapter 2002 - 1970: Regret
After Li Chen completely wiped out the black cloud, he finally began to retrieve the Supreme Treasures one by one.
The surrounding cultivators had already scattered completely, and even those who hadn’t fled far hadn’t regained their vision for a moment. Moreover, under the blockade of the Bagua Array Diagram, they couldn’t sense much commotion at all. No one chose to come back and check, so this time, Li Chen’s secret was still preserved.
But his complexion wasn’t very good.
The first time he used the Supreme Treasures with full force was during the battle with Zhang Lu.
At that time, the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror supported the battle with its energy, and he was just a medium, so the consumption was not too great. Of course, the might exerted was quite limited.
But this time, the energy source was himself.
Although the entire process only lasted a few dozen breaths, and even the Heavenly Dao Pearl and Five Elements Boots didn’t make much move.
Yet Li Chen’s Yuan Force was completely depleted.
If it weren’t for the Supreme Treasures sensing Li Chen’s condition and actively severing the connection with him, Li Chen would have likely died from being completely drained.
Despite this, when Li Chen landed, he didn’t even have the strength to take to the air again; his face was frighteningly pale and he could faint at any moment.
The woman sheltered by Bai Shi and the Netherworld looked at Li Chen with a complex expression: "You... why did you do this?"
Looking at the woman, Li Chen’s pale face pulled out an awkward smile.
"Because I was an observer once, so I don’t want to be one a second time."
Looking at Li Chen, the woman sighed deeply, and no one knew for whom or why she sighed.
But Bai Shi and the Netherworld faintly heard many different things in this sigh.
"I can tell, you know me." Li Chen said as he laughed, "So, can you tell me, are those things true?"
Li Chen’s words were inexplicable, and Bai Shi and the Netherworld had no idea what he was talking about.
However, the woman understood Li Chen’s words.
"Whether true or false, what does it matter?"
"It matters." Li Chen said seriously, "Did I really exist there? Did you really know me there?"
"Do you care about this so much?" the woman asked.
"Of course I care." Li Chen laughed, even though his body was shaky, barely held up by the Netherworld, he laughed with pride.
"If not, I should call you ’Senior.’ If yes, you should call me ’Brother Li Chen,’ shouldn’t you?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the woman couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
However, after a moment of silence, the woman still nodded lightly, "Brother Li Chen."
Li Chen’s smile blossomed.
"I understand, I finally understand." Li Chen laughed heartily, "It seems Guangming really succeeded!"
The woman hesitated for a bit, but eventually nodded. Although this was originally a very secret matter, Li Chen could be considered one of the participants, so he also had the right to know.
"That was not a dream, that was reincarnation!" Li Chen laughed long and loud, but his smile seemed somewhat desolate. Finally, the laughter gradually weakened, and Li Chen fainted in the Netherworld’s arms.
Looking at Li Chen, the woman sighed lightly.
The Three Births River and Three Lives Bridge, these two ancient treasures are known to few.
Even those ancient existences who know them, only know that these two treasures were once the Treasure that Guards the Realm in the Buddhist Realm.
But the Buddhist Realm has long vanished into smoke, and no one knows whether it’s true or not.
And this rumor was just a false message released by them.
The true origins of these two treasures are transformed from Divine Skills!
A supreme Great Divine Power! The most mysterious and difficult to cultivate... the Reincarnation Divine Ability!
Since ancient times, strong ones who master Reincarnation Divine Ability can be counted on fingers and toes. And those who have cultivated Reincarnation Divine Ability to the Supreme Realm, as far as they know, only one person.
Dao Saint Guangming!
It can even be said that Guangming is the first person on the Path of Reincarnation throughout history!
No one has ever cultivated the Path of Reincarnation to such a height, transforming Divine Skills into Exotic Treasures-like existence with Mana directly.
But no one knows, the two reincarnation treasures transformed by Guangming with Great Divine Power were actually just waiting for one person.
"Brother Li Chen, you worked hard." The woman looked at Li Chen, sighing softly.
She experienced the Seven Realms War personally, and compared to Li Chen, she understood the cruelty of the Seven Realms War more.
Though Li Chen had witnessed such cruelty once, he might have to experience it again, which indeed felt too hard for Li Chen.
Sometimes, ignorance is a good thing.
Because the truth is too cruel.
"Brother Li Chen, hopefully as Lord of the Heavenly Dao said, you can truly save this Starry Universe. I really don’t want to see such disaster again," she said, then remained silent for a long time.
When Li Chen woke up, he found his body condition had greatly improved, and the headache after effects from exhaustion didn’t appear at all.
Seeing the Netherworld and Bai Shi meditating next to him, Li Chen pursed his lips and revealed a slight smile.
"Boss, you’re awake?" Bai Shi reacted immediately.
Li Chen smiled and nodded, patted Bai Shi’s shoulder, then looked towards the Netherworld.
Looking at the Netherworld, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel emotional.
How many years have passed in a blink of an eye?
The Netherworld was originally just a young Gu Bug Li Chen brought back from Miaojiang when he was still on Earth, later fed with Li Chen’s blood, gradually mutating, and eventually transformed into human form.
Li Chen never cared about the Netherworld’s Race. When the Netherworld was still little, Li Chen always regarded it as family. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, so many years passed, and the Netherworld also grew up.
"Good lad, your cultivation is almost catching up with mine." Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh as he glanced at the Netherworld.
The Netherworld’s lips moved slightly, and finally, softly uttered a word, "Dad."
"Hahaha!" Li Chen laughed loudly.
In his heart, there was always regret.
Back on Earth, he didn’t leave any offspring, not because he didn’t want to, but because he was afraid.
He feared that after truly leaving offspring, he would disappear like his father in the blink of an eye.
Li Chen experienced such pain himself, so he didn’t want his descendants to feel the same way, so he always hesitated. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Unexpectedly, this hesitation has lasted so many years.
And the Netherworld... ultimately felt this way.
Li Chen didn’t know what to say; for the Netherworld, his heart was filled with guilt. Though the Netherworld had Lin Yi as company, making it slightly better, he ultimately didn’t witness the Netherworld growing up.
This was the Netherworld’s regret, and his regret as well.
"In this world, there are ultimately no perfect things." Li Chen sighed deeply in his heart.
