LRAB Chapter 24 Rebirth in Reverse
Chapter 24 Rebirth in Reverse
Yang Yi choked up, tears blurring her vision, and walked away step by step, her frail figure walking with unwavering determination.
She wants to live well, carrying on Zhang Lin's last wish.
Zhang Lin eventually chose to "nurture the spirit" after being persuaded by everyone.
The God-King intervened and suppressed the evil thoughts within him, leaving only a fragment of his consciousness sealed within his body.
The big black dog chose a spot in Purple Mountain and sealed Zhang Lin inside. No one knows what the future holds.
Hua Yunfei secretly resolved that when he one day possessed the means to reverse life and death, he would definitely come back here again.
"Let's go back to Shizhai first."
Hua Yunfei invited the God King to accompany them.
"Okay!" Jiang Taixu replied.
"Woof! Don't run away, you little brat! You still owe me a King of Herbs!"
The big black dog ran wildly on the ground, furious. It had lost all its magical powers and even its ability to fly.
Hua Yunfei had no choice but to bring him along.
Back at the small village beside Zishan Mountain, the people of Shizhai were overjoyed. Hua Yunfei and Ye Fan had been gone for more than a month.
When he returned, he not only had one more person with him, but also a strong, big black dog.
"Hmm, there seems to be something wrong with the bloodline of the people in this village..."
The big black dog spoke in human language and looked at the people in the village with a strange expression.
"Brother Ye, this is...?"
Wang Shu and Er Lengzi looked at Hei Huang with some fear.
After all, this big black dog looked fierce and menacing, and it was clearly not a good dog.
"Don't be afraid... Where is Fifth Master?" Ye Fan explained, and then asked Fifth Master Zhang.
Apart from Master Zhang, no one else in Shizhai knew where they had gone.
Upon hearing the news, Master Zhang came out to greet them, looking at Hua Yunfei and his companion with excitement.
Only he understood that the two of them must have gone through unimaginable dangers to escape Zishan alive.
"Fifth Master, we're back." Ye Fan stepped forward to help the old man up.
"It's good that they're back, it's good that they're back!" Master Zhang kept repeating. He had been on tenterhooks these past few days, fearing that the two of them might perish in Zishan.
What followed was naturally a joyous banquet, with Master Zhang arranging for the able-bodied men of the village to cook lamb and slaughter cattle to celebrate for the two.
As the crowd dispersed, Ye Fan handed the Origin Heaven Book to Master Zhang, as it belonged to the Zhang family.
He and Hua Yunfei had already memorized the contents of the Source Book, so it didn't matter whether the book existed or not.
Master Zhang's reaction exceeded Ye Fan's expectations.
"Nowadays, there are no capable descendants in the Zhang family. Leaving such a rare book behind will only bring disaster to the Zhang family."
Master Zhang was unwilling to take back the Source Book and gave his reasons.
Hua Yunfei nodded, "Alright, Ye Fan, you can temporarily take care of the Origin Book for the Zhang family. If any of the younger generation of the Zhang family becomes successful in the future, the Origin Book can be passed back to them."
"What Brother Hua says is absolutely right," Master Zhang echoed from the side.
The Northern Region has never been peaceful, otherwise there wouldn't be an organization like the Thirteen Great Bandits that dares to challenge the Holy Lands.
If even holy sites can be plundered, what about mortals?
If Ye Fan hadn't come and rescued them, the village where Master Zhang and his men lived would probably no longer exist.
"Alright, I will definitely bring the Origin Book back in the future," Ye Fan guaranteed.
After Master Zhang left, only a few of them remained.
"Senior God King, how is your health?" Hua Yunfei asked.
Jiang Taixu sighed softly: "My days are numbered. What you see is only the surface. In reality, my origin and primordial spirit are almost completely exhausted, and there is no way to save me."
This result weighed heavily on Hua Yunfei and his companion's hearts.
Just as Zhang Lin had said, the Medicine King had only temporarily made the God King younger. What appeared glorious was actually just a flash in the pan.
Unless he consumes the complete elixir of immortality, or as the original story unfolds, the God-King defies fate and lives a second life.
The big black dog was unusually quiet and obediently went to the side and lay down.
It's a dog that knows the inside story.
When Gu Tianshu was still at Zishan, he intentionally honed Jiang Taixu's skills.
However, it's unclear whether this Great Sage has a bad memory and forgot about the God King, or whether he felt that the time for training was insufficient.
In short, this powerful figure disappeared, causing the God King Jiang Taixu to be trapped for four thousand years! He almost messed things up!
As fellow disciples of Wushi, the fact that his teammates were so unreliable caused the big black dog to feel a rare sense of guilt when facing the God King.
Hua Yunfei glanced at the dead dog but didn't reveal the truth.
"Senior God King, I have heard that Fairy Caiyun of the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land is still alive."
Hua Yunfei then revealed the situation of Jiang Taixu's confidante, Fairy Caiyun.
"Really?! She's still alive?" Jiang Taixu's eyes widened, and even his fingers trembled slightly.
I thought that after four thousand years, there would be no more people left in this world, but now I know that the person I care about most is still alive.
Anyone would lose their composure in that situation!
"Senior Caiyun never married and has been waiting for you all her life, but now her time is probably coming to an end!" Hua Yunfei added.
"She actually... is still waiting for me..." Jiang Taixu's expression was complicated, showing both joy at hearing that the other party was still alive.
There was also concern that the other person was about to pass away.
However, that complex expression soon disappeared, replaced by a surge of boundless pride.
"Now that I'm out of trouble, even God can't take me away! I must protect those I want to protect."
The eyes of the God King Jiang Taixu gleamed with an astonishing light, filled with powerful confidence.
"My Jiang family has been passed down for over 100,000 years since the time of Emperor Hengyu, and we know many secrets that others do not."
"Actually, in my case, besides the elixir of immortality, there is another way to live a second life."
Jiang Taixu gave an example: In ancient times, there was a pair of outstanding individuals who competed on the imperial road, and they were evenly matched.
In a fierce battle, both men were critically wounded and on the verge of death.
One of them found the elixir of immortality and was able to survive.
Just when everyone thought the other person's story was about to end, he defied the odds and lived a second life, returning as a king.
Hua Yunfei understood; the example the God King cited was that of the Fighting Saint Emperor and Di Que.
This is a real-life example in history, and one of the individuals involved was an ancient emperor who ruled the world, whose influence was incredibly profound.
"So, even without the elixir of immortality, I can take an alternative path, but this path is full of thorns, and few have succeeded throughout history."
Jiang Taixu spoke softly, his expression calm, as if he had already made a decision.
"To be reborn from the ashes..." The big black dog lying on the ground was deeply shaken; the aura of the God-King greatly impressed it.
"To live a second life without relying on miracle drugs or any external aids?"
Ye Fan was bewildered but impressed. His knowledge was too shallow, and he had never heard of such things before. Now that he knew, he was deeply shocked.
In the evening, the people of Shizhai held a lively party, where Hua Yunfei and two others, along with a dog, ate large chunks of meat and drank large bowls of wine.
Even the God-King humbled himself and mingled with everyone, experiencing the warmth of human life that he hadn't felt in four thousand years.
The next morning, the God-King prepared to leave.
Having learned of Fairy Caiyun's whereabouts, he was unwilling to delay even a day, fearing that arriving too late would lead to a tragedy.
The tragic past of Zhang Lin and Yang Yi in Zishan is still vivid in my mind.
After learning about this, Ye Fan voluntarily gave away the Medicine King he had.
Jiang Taixu did not refuse, as this was exactly what Fairy Caiyun needed most right now.
