Chapter 1820: What Was Lost Would Never Return
When Baili Xiongshi unleashed his Life Death Punch with his primal chaos energy, Venerable Yuan Shi appeared slightly amused. Yuan Shi muttered, "Utilizing the fake-death state, he went through the gates of hell to seek the dao of reincarnation. A decent method, but ultimately still a wrong path."
The punch struck Mo Busi\'s head, blasting the clone apart. As for the spear, it swept into Baili Xiongshi\'s waist. However, Mo Busi only had a limited amount of energy to use, so the spear failed to break through Baili Xiongshi\'s armor. Grabbing the spear with one hand, Baili Xiongshi rapidly formed a primal chaos seal around the spear.
His opponent might have been defeated, but Baili Xiongshi was in bad shape. His entire body had been stabbed hundreds of times, and terrifying waves of Reincarnation Realm frost energy were wreaking havoc in his body, giving him no small amount of trouble.
He was forced to use the power of creation to slowly force the frost energy out of his body. While doing so, he also put great effort into maintaining a dignified appearance. That was most definitely a difficult task. When he returned from the sky, the Gods of the dominion cried out in surprise.
"Who is this person? He\'s actually strong enough to face a Reincarnation Realm expert!"
"Yeah! Why have I never seen him? Is he some old monster hidden in seclusion? His strength is no joke!"
"He\'s probably someone from Wumo Pass. Is he a trump card left behind by Venerable Yuan Shi?"
"Whoever he is, the dominion is saved. Our dominion is truly filled with capable individuals. Those aliens and devils won\'t be able to do anything anymore, right?"
...
Baili Xiongshi returned to Wumo Pass and said coldly to Venerable Yuan Shi, "What do you think now? Do I have the heart of the undefeatable?"
Venerable Yuan Shi shook his head. "No."
Baili Xiongshi raged. "Why don\'t we fight, then?"
"Do you know why your opponent lost?" asked Venerable Yuan Shi.
"A mere clone. How hard is it for him to lose?" said Baili Xiongshi confidently.
"What if he had crossed countless rivers of stars and stellar systems before coming here to fight you?" asked Venerable Yuan Shi.
Baili Xiongshi scowled and said, "Do you mean that his clone had exhausted half its strength before reaching here and had therefore lost?"
"Pretty much," said Venerable Yuan Shi with a nod. "Don\'t worry. His main body is probably near. At that time, you will have the chance to prove your strength!"
Baili Xiongshi frowned. "That is even more reason why I should absorb the world root essence. Otherwise, the dominion will be destroyed. Unless, of course, your main body gets back here."
"Without being on the brink of desperation, how can humanity\'s potential be squeezed out? The dominion is full of talented individuals. Humanity will at least learn something from this. Nobody can protect this place forever," said Venerable Yuan Shi before leaving for the Northern Border.
After reaching the Northern Border, Venerable Yuan Shi went straight to Illusory Island. The island was actually the body of the black tortoise. The tortoise could hide from Xiang Shaoyun but not from Venerable Yuan Shi.
The black tortoise looked up from the sea and coldly said, "Why are you here again?"
"I wish to take a look at her," said Venerable Yuan Shi with a gentleness he rarely showed.
"Are you not ashamed of yourself? Leave. She does not want to see you anymore," said the black tortoise mercilessly.
"Sigh. It has been so many years. Is she still bearing that grudge?" said Venerable Yuan Shi with a heavy sigh before leaving.
At this time, a dainty figure walked out. If Xiang Shaoyun was here, he would be able to recognize her as Weili Yana. In the past, he had intended to take her as his second disciple. She maintained the same youthful look, but she had also gained an indescribable temperament. Dressed in a simple yet elegant green outfit, she walked out barefoot. Her lively eyes looked at Venerable Yuan Shi, and as she slightly bowed, she said gently, "Lord venerable, my master has asked me to tell you that you can never regain what you lost."
"I can never regain what I lost?" muttered Venerable Yuan Shi. He glanced at the bottomless sea with a bleak look before leaving.
What was lost would never return! In the past, he and she were cultivator companions whom everyone envied. Unfortunately, the entire world sank into panic when the aliens had invaded. At that time, he and she were separated, both stuck in different parts of the world. Subsequently, she and her clan were pursued by the aliens and fell into crisis. At that time, she released and sent him a distress signal, hoping that her man would come save her clan.
At that time, he was still at the peak of the Nine Revolutions Realm. He had yet to reach his peak strength, and the entire world was under attack. His fellow comrades in the guild were also no match for the aliens. Thus, he decided to first help his comrades before helping her and her clan.
Unfortunately, after he finished saving his brothers, her entire clan was slaughtered, leaving her fighting bitterly all by herself. When he arrived, she was already on the brink of death.
He knew that she had a seven-point discerning heart, allowing her to see through his true thoughts. His choice to first save his brothers caused her to be bitterly disappointed. Thus, a crack that couldn\'t be repaired formed in their relationship.
No longer willing to face the world, she had her mount, the black tortoise, seal her in ice for an eternity. He felt guilty. Even after entering the Reincarnation Realm, he still felt guilt. He wanted to beg for her forgiveness, but she gave him no chance to meet her. Ultimately, he gave up and decided to leave his home to explore the boundless universe.
Now that his willpower clone had awakened, he wished to see her again. Alas, he had failed yet again. There was nothing he could say. After all, everything had happened a long time ago. There was no way to change anything. That was probably what she wanted to tell him.
When Venerable Yuan Shi was heading toward his next destination, Wu Xie appeared above the sea and roared, "You bastard! You have been so brave your whole life, but in the end, you\'re nothing but a stubborn fool! Even if Mother refuses to meet you, can\'t you just go anyway? What\'s in the past is in the past. You\'re only a clone. What is so hard about giving up a little bit of your stupid pride and trying to coax Mother?"
When Venerable Yuan Shi saw Wu Xie, his gaze turned gentle. Just as he was about to do as suggested, he raised his head and looked beyond the sky. "The main body is finally here."
