At this moment, Wang Lin went crazy!
He wasnât able to move his body, but his origin soul was still free. Although his origin soul couldnât leave his body, his domain still existed.
The figure of a giant ancient god appeared in the sky and grabbed the life and death scroll. With one shake, the scroll opened completely.
In an instant, a thick strand of grey gas came out of the life and death scroll. It didnât move toward the giant hand but fused with the figure of the ancient god.
The ancient god figure trembled and an aura similar to the heavensâ messengerâs appeared. It coldly looked at the heavensâ messengerâs arm before grabbing it and viciously pulling it back.
The heavensâ messenger that had only showed its face was dragged out from the void by the ancient god.
A strange scene occurred in the sky as two giant figures appeared.
Wang Linâs eyes were like lightning right now. When he saw the heavensâ messenger, he was startled.
The heavensâ messengerâs body was almost no different from an ancient godâs body, but what shocked Wang Lin were the seven shining stars on the messengerâs head.
However, three of the stars seemed to be sealed; they were much dimmer than the rest.
âThisâ¦â When Wang Lin saw this, an unbelieve thought came to his mind.
âThis is the real reincarnation cycleâ¦â
When he first saw the heavensâ messenger, he didnât question it, but after seeing it again, he suddenly thought, âThe reincarnation cycle is an law of the heavens, it should be ethereal⦠why would a messenger existâ¦â
And this messenger was an ancient god!
Everything he saw today was outside of Wang Linâs imagination. He questioned what exactly was the heavensâ law.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After the heavensâ messenger was pulled, he opened his eyes for the first time and revealed an expression other than cold indifference. It was confusion.
He stared at the figure of the ancient god before opening his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but in the end he closed it. His body moved and his giant hand quickly swung toward the ancient god formed by Wang Linâs domain.
Boom!
This sound echoed through the heavens and earth. Everything within 5,000 kilometers of here was already shattered and now it was shattering even more.
Wang Lin clearly saw the ground within 5,000 kilometers suddenly cave in, forming a giant hole.
The only place that didnât collapse was the center of the hole where Zhou Ru was. Now it looked like Zhou Ru was on top of a tower.
Zhou Ruâs body was emitting a gentle, white light.
The ancient god formed by Wang Linâs domain was knocked back several steps by the heavensâ messenger. Wang Linâs body trembled as blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. His origin soul was about to collapse.
But he knew that if he couldnât withstand this, then Li Muwanâs Nascent Soul was going to die!
The ancient god formed by Wang Linâs domain rushed forward and punched the heavensâ messenger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One punch after another caused the entire moon to shake and more blood to seep from his mouth. At this moment, the force holding Wang Lin weakened, so he grasped the opportunity and quickly let out a growl and broke free.
âDie!â Wang Lin let out a roar as he jumped into the air and punched the heavensâ messenger.
A hint of confusion appeared in the heavensâ messengerâs eyes as he swung his right arm and sent Wang Lin flying like a meteor. However, Wang Linâs punch also landed and caused the heavensâ messenger to stagger back several steps.
The ancient god figure quickly took a few steps to catch up to the heavensâ messenger and attacked once more.
Wang Linâs body quickly returned. As he licked the blood from the corner of his lips, his eyes became filled with battle intent. He and the ancient god formed from his domain battled the heavensâ messenger.
The messenger kept on getting pushed back. Only four of the stars on his forehead were shining, meaning his current power was only that of a four-star ancient god.
âYou⦠are not of my clanâ¦â The heavenâs messenger talked for the first time. A normal cultivator wouldnât be able to understand him at all because he spoke in the ancient godsâ language.
It was indeed as he said; Wang Lin at this moment couldnât be considered an ancient god. Ancient gods never had internal cultivation, and from ancient history to now, no ancient god ever had a domain!
âIt doesnât matter if I am or not, I wonât agree to you taking Li Muwanâs Nascent Soul away!â Wang Lin shouted back, in the ancient godsâ language as he threw a punch.
The heavensâ messenger was forced back once more.
The ancient god figure quickly followed up on that attack.
The white light surrounding Zhou Ru became stronger and stronger.
A voice suddenly came from inside Zhou Ru.
âWang Lin⦠You lied to meâ¦â
This was a voice Wang Lin hadnât heard in 19 years. It belonged to Li Muwan.
Wang Linâs body trembled as he suddenly turned around. He was grief-stricken by what he saw.
âWan Er, you!!!â
What he saw was the white light around Zhou Ru becoming as bright as it possibly could. Her soul was pushed out of her body and then surrounded by the white light before gently landing on the side.
âWang Lin⦠Wan Er wants to see you and be with you, but I am supposed to be dead. It is simply too cruel to her if the price of me awakening is to devour her soul. I felt this child grow up over these past 19 years; looking at her is like seeing my own child. Big brother Wang⦠I donât have the heart to do it⦠Wan Er is very dumb. I let you downâ¦â
The moment Li Muwan awakened, she stopped devouring Zhou Ruâs soul and used the power of her Nascent Soul to push Zhou Ruâs soul out of her body.
Without Zhou Ruâs soul, her body was surrounded by a death aura. The moment Li Muwanâs Nascent Soul awakened, it was exposed to the heavensâ law. This caused it to slowly collapse.
Wang Lin quickly arrived beside Zhou Ruâs body and pointed at her brow. At that moment, Li Muwanâs Nascent Soul slowly flew out of Zhou Ruâs body.
She opened her eyes, looked at Wang Lin, and revealed the same gentle gaze from 19 years ago.
Li Muwan softly said, âPromise me⦠To take good care of yourselfâ¦â She raised her hand to feel Wang Linâs body temperature, but right when she was about to touch him, her hand became transparent.
A trace of sadness appeared on her face. She looked at Wang Lin and whispered, âZhou Ru is only a child; donât make it difficult for her. This is my own choice.â
At this moment, the heavensâ messenger moved past the ancient god figure and arrived beside Wang Lin. It reached out toward the wheel and messed with it. The power of the reincarnation cycle reappeared once more.
A powerful suction force came from the wheel toward Li Muwan.
Wang Lin suddenly raised his head. His eyes became extremely cold as he said, âWithout my permission, forget the fact that you arenât even the real heavensâ law, but even if you were, donât think you can take her away!â
He pointed at his brow and the heaven defying bead appeared. With a wave of his hand, Li Muwanâs Nascent Soul went into the heaven defying bead and the heaven defying bead went back inside his body.
The heavenâs messenger shot a thoughtful look at Wang Lin. His eyes were filled with confusion. Then his body slowly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, the clouds and wheel also disappeared.
Wang Lin stared at Zhou Ruâs body and began to laugh like crazy. His laugh was filled with sadness and madness.
âI, Wang Lin, have fought against the heavens and twice fought against the reincarnation cycle, but I didnât expect to lose to the heavensâ will in the end. The heavensâ will⦠the heavensâ will is cruel!â
Wang Lin pointed at Zhou Ruâs soul and placed it back inside her body. Then he jumped into the air as he laughed madly, leaving behind only echos of his sad laughter.
After Wang Lin left, Little White carefully flew over. He was originally sealed by Wang Lin, but during the battle with the heavensâ messenger, the seal shattered, allowing him to escape. Only after he saw Wang Lin leave did he dare to come over. His eyes were filled with sadness as he licked Zhou Ruâs small face.
Zhou Ru muttered to herself, âLittle White⦠Stop messing around, I want to sleepâ¦â
Little White was startled. He immediately let out a happy growl and then picked up Zhou Ru by her clothes and took her far away.
A crazy person appeared on the moon. His hair was all over the place and he would often say the two words âHeavensâ Willâ. Whenever a beast blocked him, it would die.
âHeavensâ will⦠I, Wang Lin, won against the heavensâ law but was played by the heavensâ will!â
A year later, on a rainy night at the eastern part of the moon, a crazy person stood on top of a tall mountain.
The rain came crashing toward the ground. It landed on his body and flowed down his cheeks before falling to the ground.
âWhat is life, what is deathâ¦â
âI, Wang Lin, have spent my life on the path of slaughter and comprehended the heavensâ law when I turned into a mortal. I saw life as life and death as death. This rain is born in the sky and dies when it hits the earthâ¦â
âThanks to senior Zhou Yiâs obsession, the celestial female corpse awakened. The emotions between the two, how if he lives she dies and if he dies she lives; all of this allowed me to understand the meaning of seeing life not as life and seeing death not as deathâ¦â
âSurviving through a disaster allowed me to see the changes in life. Zhou Ru tipping between life and death, Wan Erâs death in life and life in death. It was the heavensâ will that finally allowed I, Wang Lin, to see life still as life and death still as death!â
âAfter 19 years of time⦠Wan Er, thank you for allowing me to understand⦠I should let things that are lost in the world stay lost and those that still exist to remain existing.â
âThis rain was born in the sky but doesnât die when it hits the earth. On the earth it will gain new life; it will help plants grow and then it will turn into clouds once more. This change is life!â
âI canât let go of my parentsâ soul and your departure. In truth, I wasnât filial to my parents, and to you I have always been neglectful. Although this emotion is real, it was more of a sense of duty⦠because I was movedâ¦â
Wang Linâs parentsâ souls flew out from his brow. They gently gazed at him as they slowly disappeared. They didnât die but entered a different realm of life.
