"I'm definitely not lying to you. I've heard of your name 1,200 years ago, and I also know that you've cultivated your entire life for the sake of bringing your wife back to life!"
The Sovereign's voice was weak as it slowly floated across the stars. However, when Wang Lin heard it, each word was like a hammer.
However, this hammer-like rumble turned into a giant wave that raged in Wang Lin's mind. This caused all of the Sovereign's words to become vague. Only the last four words were like Thunder that tore through his body and rushed into his soul!
"Resurrect my wife!"
"The Old Man also knows that in order to resurrect your wife, you begged many cultivators, but in the end, no one was able to do it!
You must not believe the Old Man's words. You must think that the Old Man is seriously injured, so how could he have the ability to do this?
"This matter is indeed extremely difficult. Even if the Old Man wasn't seriously injured, he wouldn't have been able to resurrect your wife. However, the Old Man's teacher is someone who is as famous as the Ancient Celestial Sovereign. Even in the Ancient Star System, he is famous!
The Old Man went to beg Teacher to find the Spirit Realm, kill tens of trillions of people, take their souls, and turn them into a Longevity Seal. Not only can your wife be resurrected, but your only son can be resurrected as well! "
Wang Lin was startled and his mind rumbled. He couldn't speak for a long time. His injuries were already very serious, and he had been relying on his last breath. Now that his last breath was gone, his body trembled and he coughed out blood.
"As long as you agree to become one of the Old Man's warriors, the Old Man can help you do anything!"
The Sovereign's voice was still weak, but it contained a magical power that surrounded Wang Lin's body.
Wang Lin's eyes were filled with struggle. This kind of struggle was something he had never experienced before. Whether it was Dao Master Blue Dream's proposal or the words of the first Rosefinch, none of them could compare to this!
He wasn't like the Sovereign, who directly struck the weakest spot in Wang Lin's heart!
When it landed in his Dao heart, it was akin to fishing the moon from the well and scooping out Wang Lin's beautiful soul!
In order to revive Li Muwan, Wang Lin would do anything!
Risking everything!
When there was no hope, he yearned for hope. Now that there was hope, even if it was only a sliver, it weighed down on Wang Lin's body like a mountain. His expression was one of intense struggle.
"Once you become the Old Man's warrior, you will surpass Master Simo, surpass Shimizu, and Qing Lin. You will be the most powerful warrior with the most potential!
If you agree, the Old Man will give you the Taoist name Lin Shang Zi!
"Didn't you spend your entire life to revive your wife and child? The Old Man's teacher can do it. If you don't believe me, I can have Teacher revive your wife first. After you and your wife are reunited, it won't be too late to agree!"
Wang Lin's face was ashen and he was struggling to the extreme. There was a voice in his mind that was roaring like crazy and shaking his entire body!
"Agree to him and become the Sovereign's warrior, then Wan Er can be revived. Wang Lin, didn't you cultivate your entire life only for her?
"Promise him that after fifteen hundred years of separation, you will be reunited. Wang Ping will also be resurrected. When the time comes, you and your family will be reunited. Isn't that the greatest dream of your life?"
"Agree to him and become the Sovereign's slave. Don't you have to listen to all the Sovereign's orders? Your personal freedom or Wan Er's life, which is more important?
"Agree to him and become the second Master Simo. Become the Sovereign's slave and betray the Inner Realm. Sever all ties with Situ Nan, Shimizu, and all your fellow cultivators in the Inner Realm. From now on, we will be enemies!"
This voice became louder and louder until it turned into an earth-shattering roar that went crazy in Wang Lin's mind. His face turned pale and he subconsciously retreated a few steps. His eyes were bloodshot and his body trembled. His mind was about to collapse. The struggle and choice turned into a flood that was going to drown him.
"If one day the Sovereign wants me to kill Situ Nan … What should I do … If one day the Sovereign wants me to burn Shimizu … What should I do … If one day the Sovereign wants me to slaughter my way back to the Inner Realm, how can I face those familiar faces … Zhou Yi, Zhou Ru, Big Head, everything … If one day the Sovereign wants me to harm the second generation Rosefinch … Can I do it …"
Wang Lin revealed a miserable smile and shocking blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. It was as if his heart had been split in half and was being torn apart by force. This kind of pain could not be described with words!
Wan Er was his everything, his reverse scale. He wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her. For Wan Er, Wang Lin could give up a lot. In order to resurrect Wan Er, he could give up his life, and now he could even give up his life!
However, some things were more important than his life!
However, in a person's life, aside from love, there were also things he couldn't give up!
"From now on, the Soul Refining Sect will be handed over to you …" On the Suzaku, the dead ancestor of the Soul Refining Sect, Heaven Dun, had a kind smile as he placed the Soul Refining Sect's treasure in Wang Lin's hand. He placed the Soul Refining Sect's inheritance on Wang Lin's shoulder and closed his eyes with a smile … Situ Nan had given up the possibility of taking the Heaven Defying Bead and accompanied Wang Lin for hundreds of years. He had taught Wang Lin cultivation since he was a child. He was a teacher, a father, a brother, and a friend … If it wasn't for Situ, there would be no Wang Lin!
Wang Lin had once said one thing to Situ. This was all the gratitude he had for Situ!
"I, Wang Lin, will never kneel to the heavens and earth, I will only respect Situ!"
Zhou Yi had been infatuated with love his entire life. His celestial intent couldn't cover up his infatuation for thousands of years. He even gave Wang Lin the opportunity to live and die in the morning, saving Wang Lin from a great calamity in his life!
Zhou Yi was infatuated with Qing Shuang. If Wang Lin chose her, there would be a tragic battle in the future!
"I, Zhou Yi, only want to do one thing in my life. I want to accompany Qing Shuang for the rest of my life …"
Senior martial brother Shimizu had a cold face but a warm heart. Once he decided that Wang Lin was the successor of his master, Bai Fan, he would do everything he could to prevent anyone from hurting Wang Lin!
"Since he is my junior martial brother, I will not allow anyone to hurt him. If you hurt a finger of his, I will take your life!"
Shimizu's madness and the grief and anger he felt when he killed his wife were all part of the Outer World's scheme. Once he knew that the junior martial brother he wanted to protect had become the slave and lackey that caused him to go crazy, how much pain would he feel … and there was also the fifth generation Rosefinch. He was clearly a lamp that had run out of oil, but he still healed Wang Lin and even handed over the Rosefinch Holy Sect to him. That kind gaze was like an eternal imprint in Wang Lin's heart.
"Old Man Lu Yun gave his entire life to the Rosefinch Holy Sect … even if I die now, I can leave with a smile … you are very good, very outstanding. Help me … take care of the Rosefinch Holy Sect."
The strength of character of the fifth generation Sage Emperor was something that Wang Lin deeply respected. In his gratitude and respect, he couldn't face the anger and disappointment of that kind old man who had died.
The second generation Rosefinch had only known Wang Lin for a few days. His hearty laughter, his gratified expression, his appreciative gaze, and his undisguised love for Wang Lin had shown him. He had fished for a dragon's blood, saved Wang Lin many times in the trial by fire, and even questioned the first generation in the Heaven Incense Stick!
He had given him the Flame Dragon Control Technique and the Ancient Soul Forbidden Tortoise Shell. Before he left, he had clearly gone against the will of the first generation Rosefinch. It was unknown what price he had to pay, but he had taught Wang Lin the strongest technique of the Rosefinch Family – the Realm Burning Ancient Umbrella!
"Little fellow, don't forget that the next time we meet, you have to choose the seventh generation Rosefinch of the Old Man. You have to choose a child with enough strength!
"Child, you look cold, but I didn't expect you to be naughty in the past. Unfortunately, what is so good about dual cultivation? The Old Man really can't understand …"
There were also many people, many people … How could Wang Lin give up on all of this with just one choice … Master Simo's memories filled Wang Lin's mind. When he saw Master Simo's life, it was as if he saw his own memories.
The current Master Simo was the future Wang Lin!
For his sister's rebirth, Master Simo had given up the Heaven Breaking Sect, the Inner Realm, all his senior brothers and junior brothers, and even his own soul. He had become the Sovereign's slave, a dog, and had to fight for the Sovereign. If the Sovereign pointed at him, even his teacher would shed tears and raise the butcher's knife!
If he hadn't seen Master Simo's memories, perhaps Wang Lin's choice would have been even more difficult.
If he hadn't experienced Dao Master Blue Dream's proposal and the first generation Rosefinch's words, perhaps Wang Lin still wouldn't have been able to make the biggest choice in his life!
It was a painful path, but one that had to be resolute!
After seeing Master Simo's memories, Wang Lin asked himself what he would choose if he had this day … However, he didn't expect this day to come so soon!
This day was like a calamity!!
Fortunately, Master Simo's memories gave Wang Lin a path … "I don't want to become Master Simo …" Wang Lin muttered. The struggle in his eyes was gradually replaced by pain, but this pain revealed his determination!
"I don't want to become your slave!"
"I don't want to betray their kindness because of my choice.
Love is a pain I can't give up. It is everything I've cultivated for … However, my life is not just about love! "
"Just like Master Simo, to give up everything for his family, to suffer the condemnation of a thousand people for one person. I, Wang Lin, admire him!
However, I'm afraid to choose, afraid to face all the people that have helped me … Even if my wife and child awaken, we will only be puppets … I won't choose …
"Perhaps your teacher can really awaken my wife and child, but if he can do it, I, Wang Lin, can too!
"I, Wang Lin, want to resurrect my wife and child myself!"
Wang Lin raised his head and looked at the Sovereign in the distance. He turned into a ray of light and flew off into the distance with a sad aura.
No one saw two lines of crystal tears fall from the corners of Wang Lin's eyes. They fell into the vast sea of stars and disappeared without a trace.
"Wan Er … Ping Er … Will you blame me …"
Yesterday, I said that when the sword is unsheathed, it won't be stained with blood, and it won't be sheathed for several days!
The sword is bright, but the blood isn't hot enough. I beg for monthly votes!!!
