I was deeply moved!
However, it was just a fleeting moment, and I quickly adjusted my emotions. After entering this line of work, my heart had become almost numb, as life and death often didn’t even give people a chance to grieve. It just happened, and I had no choice but to adapt!
Once I had composed myself, I began to ponder our current situation and asked Bald Qiang and the others, “Are we getting on the submarine? Where exactly are we now?”
“This is a submarine born from the Atlantis Civilization. Impressive, right?” Bald Qiang shook the flashlight in his hand and chuckled. “In that Underground Palace, there’s a hall displaying all the weapons made by the Atlantis Civilization. The Corpse Spirit sent us directly there. By the time we woke up, the Underground Palace was already mostly collapsed. We dragged you into the submarine, and later, when the energy shield supported by the Heart of Atlantis broke, seawater flooded that area of ruins. We floated up with the submarine, but the Heart of Atlantis was completely finished, so this submarine can no longer continuously draw power. We're relying solely on stored energy, and who knows how long that will last? That’s why we didn’t dare turn on any lights inside; otherwise, if we run out of energy before reaching the Sea Surface, we’d be left with no way out!”
I was filled with confusion, but unfortunately, I still had to continue seeking answers.
I inquired about Ghost Granny, and the answer left me heartbroken: her body was buried in the Atlantis Ruins, and Yuan hadn’t been brought out either; she remained in those ruins. Zhengyang managed to wrap Ghost Granny’s Divine Whip in Daoist Spiritual Energy at the last moment and bring it out, but unfortunately, it was broken.
A whip broken means a life lost!
Zhengyang intended to take the broken Divine Whip back to the organization and enshrine it as a sacred object forever.
After I grasped the situation better, Zhengyang suddenly spoke with a heavy expression: “As for this recent madness, it’s best for everyone to keep it buried deep inside. Understand? He has opened another path of Killing Intent. In some sense, he is even more formidable than his grandfather and father because his combat power is unassessable. Once his anger erupts, it will be like a volcanic eruption that engulfs everything! If those from the Dao Alliance—who already fear him—find out about this, it could be very detrimental for him. I suspect they might take advantage of his incomplete growth to deal with him more ruthlessly!”
Big Mouth Lee suddenly burst into laughter. “What’s this?” He pulled out a pitch-black object from his embrace. “This is what the Heart of Atlantis looks like!”
I couldn’t believe it; he actually managed to pull this thing out! It seemed he was quite skilled after all!
“Damn it! I was trying to climb onto the spaceship for a glance back when this dark object came flying straight at my face! If I hadn’t lost my Gold Tooth just now, I might have been dead!”
So this object had hit Big Mouth Lee right where his missing front tooth used to be?
I took that black object from him; my heart tightened as it felt just like what I held in my hand and had strange engraved symbols on it. I tucked it away in my bag. “Brother Li, I’ll take this for now!”
“This thing brings bad luck; you can have it…”
Then Zhengyang pointed at my neck and suddenly said: “Also, you’d better not take off your Star Fragment in the future.”
Star Fragment. Suddenly, I thought to myself, isn't that just Meteorite Fragments? It's just the term used by the Taoist Sect!
I touched my neck and found that the Star Fragment had been put back around my neck, probably while I was unconscious when Zhengyang and the others put it on me.
I noticed that when this happened, Zhengyang's expression was quite grim, so I asked him what was wrong. As expected, Zhengyang turned his head away. I knew him too well; seeing that look on his face told me that something bad was about to happen!
So, I kept asking Qingyi again and again.
Finally, seeing that I wouldn't give up, Bald Qiang chimed in, "While you were unconscious, Zhengyang used Incense for Summoning Spirits to go to the Underworld and checked your Book of Life and Death!"
Checked my Lifespan?
I was taken aback and asked what the result was.
"You really went overboard this time; the loss is tremendous. You almost killed yourself!"
The fat guy sighed and made a gesture with his fingers, forming an "eight."
I was stunned. "Eight years?"
The fat guy smiled bitterly. "It's eight months!!"
Eight months!?
His voice wasn't loud when he said it, but those four words struck my ears like thunder, leaving me dizzy and disoriented!
I only have eight months of Lifespan left?
When I tore off the Buddha Relic and sealed the demon right then and there, I already knew I would have to pay a heavy price; I was even prepared to die. But when that moment truly arrived, I still felt an overwhelming shock.
At that moment, I felt like a cancer patient who had been given an incurable diagnosis by the hospital—dizzy and disoriented. The little strength I had just regained vanished in an instant, leaving me limp in Lin Qing's embrace.
Only eight months remained. Although I wasn't dead, what difference did it make?
If you were to ask me what I was thinking at this moment, I honestly wouldn't know. Perhaps it was because I wasn't thinking about anything at all; my mind was completely blank!
"Fatty!"
Lin Qing shot a glance at the fat man. In that instant, I could clearly sense a flicker of anger and murderous intent in her eyes. She truly seemed ready to kill him, but she quickly restrained herself and coldly said, "You better keep that filthy mouth of yours shut, or in such a confined space, I'll kill whoever I want!"
The fat man seemed to realize the gravity of the situation and immediately closed his mouth, shrinking his neck and falling silent.
It was only then that I began to regain some composure. Weakly, I waved my hand to signal that I was fine.
In truth, I understood Lin Qing's intentions. She was still worried about my injuries. After experiencing such highs and lows in the Underwater Palace of Atlantis, I was at my most vulnerable. If I were to learn that my time was short, it would surely send me into despair.
However, what was meant to come would eventually arrive. My family's revenge had been avenged, and I had no major regrets left. Dying with my eyes closed might not be so bad; perhaps it would be a form of relief, even though there were still many things I hadn't had the chance to do.
Lin Qing suddenly grabbed my hand that I had just raised, holding it tightly. At that moment, I was gradually coming back from the initial shock and impact, while she seemed to lose her composure. She held me tightly in her embrace—not so much to comfort me as to comfort herself. I could feel her body trembling as she repeatedly said, "It's okay, you'll definitely pull through. There’s still hope, there’s still hope."
I smiled faintly but said nothing.
"There is indeed still hope."
At that moment, the quiet figure in green suddenly spoke up. Looking at me earnestly, he enunciated each word carefully: "In the next eight months, you can't afford to be idle. Once your injury heals, you must immediately take action—actively seek out Evil Spirits to sacrifice for your blade and refine your Killing Intent. You cannot waste a single moment in these last eight months!"
The figure in green was someone who never spoke frivolously. His words piqued my interest. Struggling to lift my eyelids and aided by the faint light from a flashlight nearby, I noticed how astonishingly bright his eyes were!
Eight months—could I really turn things around?
While I had accepted my current situation, it didn’t mean I didn’t want to live. For a moment, I looked at him filled with hope.
"Change your fate!"
Zhengyang slowly uttered two words.
"Reverse Fate."
I muttered to myself, initially expecting some profound method, only to find it was simply about changing fate.
With a single step forward, I commanded the forces of yin and yang, and none dared to disobey!
"Please be patient and listen to me."
Zhengyang glanced at me, as if he could read my thoughts. After calming me with a few words, he continued, "All this time, because your cultivation was still shallow, I never discussed the matter of Reverse Fate with you in detail! I had hoped to talk to you properly when you reached the pinnacle of your abilities, but it seems that moment has come sooner than expected."
At this point, the figure in blue sighed softly and then dropped a bombshell: "In fact, Reverse Fate doesn't necessarily require one to go against it to change; there are other methods."
What?
My eyes widened in shock, a storm brewing within me. Overwhelmed with excitement, I completely forgot about my injuries and the pain that had been plaguing me. With a sudden burst of energy, I sat up straight. "You have other methods?"
As soon as I sat up, however, I felt a sharp pain tearing through my chest, and cold sweat began to pour down my forehead.
"Yes, Li Dai Tao Jiang can also change fate!"
