Chapter 238 She will definitely come back here. We must not let her down.
"Is a thousand years a long time? We soul beasts can easily sleep for more than a thousand or a hundred years, right?"
On the human side, they were deeply moved by Xi Lian's thousand-year ordeal, their faces showing heartache and their empathy overflowing.
However, the soul beasts were completely unable to comprehend the human's sorrowful emotions.
They may pity Xi Lian's tragic fate, but they cannot comprehend the disparity and prolonged torment brought about by time.
After all, they are soul beasts whose lifespans far exceed those of humans.
Some ordinary soul beasts can easily live for more than 10,000 years; time is exceptionally lenient towards them.
Not to mention a 100,000-year-old soul beast, which can easily fall into a deep sleep and open its eyes to find that hundreds or thousands of years have passed.
"It must be admitted that humans are an incredibly obsessive and powerful race."
"It takes us soul beasts at least half a year of painstaking cultivation to dominate a region, while humans can catch up with our ten thousand years of cultivation in just a few decades..."
Di Tian looked at Gu Yuena beside him with a sigh.
At this moment, all forces on the Douluo Continent are searching for the whereabouts of Little Gray Hair and his group.
The Soul Beast faction is no exception.
Di Tian, Gu Yuena, and several other soul beast leaders set off together and left the Star Dou Great Forest.
They had prepared elaborate and generous gifts well in advance, and were full of plans to join Little Gray Fur's side.
Of course, these soul beasts had other plans in mind.
If they could take the opportunity to join forces with Feng Jin or Na Ke Xia, that would be the best choice.
After all, Feng Jin raised the well-behaved little Ika, and Na Ke Xia had always loved the strange beasts of the earth.
They were certain that these two gentle-natured extraterrestrials would not dislike soul beasts.
If you act cute and adorable, you can win the other person's favor. Why not do something like this?
They knew perfectly well that these extraterrestrials must be hiding countless rare treasures in their hands.
Even ordinary food in the eyes of extraterrestrials is a rare and precious tonic for the soul beasts of Douluo Continent.
If one is fortunate enough to eat a bite, their cultivation level will increase by thousands or even tens of thousands of years, saving them hundreds of years of arduous cultivation.
Meanwhile, deep beneath the dark ocean, deep within the solid rock, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was curled up and hiding.
Even in the deep sea where the sun never shines, the images on the sky were still vividly imprinted in his mind.
As he watched the scenes unfolding before him, he suddenly felt a surge of relief, as if he had survived a calamity.
The biggest difference between humans and spirit beasts lies in their lifespan and their vastly different perceptions of time.
For humankind, a century is a long enough period to change a lifetime.
But for soul beasts, a single nap can last for more than a hundred years, and they are completely unaware of the passage of time.
Especially the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, with his profound cultivation and long lifespan, could take an incredibly long time to fall asleep.
His only remaining eyeball darted around in its socket, secretly plotting his next move.
If one rests peacefully in the depths of the earth for a short while, ten or even a hundred years will pass in the blink of an eye.
Even the most intense human conflicts, lasting ten years, are considered a long time; to him, they are but a fleeting moment.
Before long, Little Gray and his group of extraterrestrials will leave this weak world.
In other words, he doesn't need to live in fear for too long.
Just close your eyes and take a nap, and when you wake up again...
No matter how much the Douluo Continent changes, Little Gray Hair and the others must have already left.
After all, the Douluo Continent is far too insignificant, and there is nothing that can hold back those from beyond the heavens with extremely high aspirations.
He never imagined that someone as deeply obsessed as Qian Renxue would appear among humanity.
Qian Renxue hated this bloodthirsty, cruel soul beast with a bloodthirsty nature and a furious rage.
No matter where he hides, Qian Renxue is determined to find him and eliminate him completely to prevent future troubles.
What he regretted even more was that Little Gray Hair and his group had also followed Qian Renxue to the beach.
If he had known it would end so unexpectedly, he would never have hidden in the deep sea, leisurely watching the unfolding events in the sky.
It would immediately transform into an inconspicuous little fish, quickly swim to the little gray-haired boy, kneel down, kowtow, and beg for forgiveness.
He would be willing to become a helpless little pet, completely at the mercy of others.
Above the sky, Little Gray watched as Xi Lian's memory completely vanished before his eyes.
My heart still aches terribly, and I am filled with sadness and reluctance that I cannot calm down.
But when she thought of the countless sacrifices she had witnessed along the way, and the heavy expectations everyone had for her, she couldn't help but feel grateful.
Thinking of his urgent desire to save the continent of Onpharos and his wish to see his old friends again.
Her gaze suddenly became incredibly firm, without a trace of hesitation or weakness.
She slowly raised her eyes and looked at the ritual sword of the Time Priest standing quietly in the open space in the distance.
Having made up his mind, he walked steadily towards the ceremonial sword step by step.
In a daze, she clearly heard the last conversation between Xi Lian and Feng Jin from back then.
Feng Jin spoke softly, her tone full of worry:
"The final leg... I wonder how long you'll have to wait before you can hand it to her?"
Xi Lian smiled gently, her tone tender: "It doesn't matter how long it takes."
"After all, waiting is what they do best."
"She has been through thirty million lifetimes to finally come into our lives... So what's wrong with waiting a little longer?"
Feng Jin was filled with trepidation, her voice tinged with unease:
"But, Lianbao..."
"If in the end, you don't get to see that hero..."
Little Gray Fur stretched out his slightly trembling hand and tightly grasped the hilt of the Priest of Time's ritual sword.
In an instant, a memory sealed for a thousand years unfolded uncontrollably before her eyes.
It was a sunny afternoon, with a gentle breeze that brought warmth to the earth.
Xi Lian stood where Little Gray Fur was standing. The sky was clear and the air was filled with a light mist.
She stood alone, gazing intently at the distant sky, while pink petals drifted down around her, creating a beautiful yet lonely scene.
Feng Jin, standing behind her, gazed at her slender figure with a worried expression, her heart filled with concern yet she dared not approach to disturb her.
A gentle breeze swept by, slowly lifting their hair and causing their clothes to flutter softly.
This scene is serene and beautiful, like a perfectly natural and exquisite painting.
Xi Lian gazed at the distant sky, spoke softly, her tone unwavering:
No, it won't.
"Because I know."
"No matter how much time has passed..."
"She will definitely come back here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Lian slowly turned around.
She seemed to be looking at Feng Jin behind her, or perhaps through a vast expanse of time and space, at the little gray-haired creature that would arrive here in the future.
She gently closed her eyes, her voice sweet and soft, full of tenderness and expectation:
"We absolutely cannot let her down."
Seeing Xi Lian waiting for him day after day for thousands of years, Little Gray Fur no longer hesitated.
She gripped the hilt tightly, and with all her might, resolutely drew the ritual sword of the Time Priest before her.
This ancient sword, weathered by time for thousands of years, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.
The previously quiet space was suddenly swept by a gentle yet powerful wind.
Little Gray Fur stared at the ritual sword in his hand, which trembled slightly as if it possessed a spirit.
Filled with excitement and solemnity, he forcefully raised the sword high above his head with both hands.
Suddenly, a dazzling light condensed and took shape beside her.
It transformed into a straight rainbow, soaring into the sky and forcefully piercing through the dark horizon.
In an instant, a colossal image of a celestial horse appeared in the sky, radiating a divine light.
A magnificent rainbow-colored beam of light shot down from the Pegasus once again.
It struck the ground directly in front of Little Gray Fur, creating a magnificent, surging wave of colorful light.
A surging rainbow wave crashed towards him, and Little Gray instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes, adopting a defensive stance.
When she was completely enveloped by the rainbow-colored waves and opened her eyes again.
Suddenly, a beautifully sculpted young girl appeared before them; it was none other than Feng Jin, who had long since burned herself out.
Feng Jin clasped her hands tightly against her chest, looking at the little gray creature in front of her with a mixture of curiosity and joy.
She knew that Little Gray had successfully awakened this power, which meant that the pioneers had truly returned and the savior had descended upon the world.
She immediately smiled gently and soothingly, looking at the little gray-haired boy with sincere eyes.
At the same time, behind Feng Jin, a road paved with rainbows slowly appeared, stretching straight to the sky.
Little Grey walked slowly to Feng Jin and quietly looked at the gentle girl in front of him.
Feng Jin looked up at the little gray-haired girl, placed her hands on her chest, nodded to her first, then gently closed her eyes and whispered a heartfelt blessing:
The sky will shower you with the morning light...
The moment the little gray fur brushed past her.
Feng Jin's small body gradually transformed into tiny specks of golden light, completely dissipating into the world.
