Chapter 432 Battle Of Wills. (2)

Shi Lang cursed TainLong, and he did not spare him any face. This scene would have sent many people into a fit of rage, but these two knew better than anyone else. The bond they shared was not shallow. They might not have conversed with each other. However, they were both the most lonely people that could have existed in the world.

While TianLong was standing at the peak of it all and Shi Lang at the bottom of the pit. They both did not have any other friends. Everyone revered Tian Long. Even his enemies acknowledged his strength.

Shi Lang, on the other hand, faced despise and rejection. Only one person accepted him, and that person was his namesake sister. Since they were both alone, they held onto each other. They both saw each other as something they could never be.

As weak as Shi Lang might be, he always had peace of mind. On the other hand, Tian Long had the strength that worried others and disturbed his peace. However, who can play against destiny? Their difference became the reasons why they had no filters when dealing with each other.

Shi Lang said, "You sure this is the only catch, old ghost?"

Tian Long calmed his temper and said, "You will see what it is, undying bastard. I will not tell you shit."

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ Shi Lang crossed his arms and said, "Oh, so his excellency has decided to let go of the facade and curse. How the mighty have fallen after the ascension."

Tian Long did not say anything to that. He was clenching his teeth too hard. Even if it was just a spirit phantom, the consciousness was connected to the real Tian Long in the immortal realm. Shi Lang sighed and said, "Can you stop being a crybaby now? Stop sulking. You might not have much time left in this realm. I will not keep you, shoo."

Tian Long widened his eyes and said, "Listen here little shit. I did not come down to have tea with you. I need you to restore the laws of the world. A war is happening in the immortal realm, and humans need support."

Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "Why are you dragging everyone into a war situation? What is it that you immortal humans cannot deal with?"

Tian Long took in a deep breath and then sighed. Finally, he said, "You sure you want to know?"

The young Terran nodded, and Tian Long said, "So, the demon beasts are in a rage. They are planning something under the shadows, and many spirit beasts and human race experts have fallen or been killed. The remaining ones are not yet strong enough to hold a risk to the demons, so we are left aside. We can charge at higher realms without worry only when we have new muscle."

Shi Lang clicked his tongue and said, "To think I was so eager to explore the world of immortals. Do you know how many times I have given an inspirational speech to motivate people and not cower in fear of death while cultivating? No. You, shithead, decided to play games alone, which is how you mess up."

Tian Long finally could not bear it and shouted, "It is not my fault. Those demons you are dealing with are all cunning shits. They have been guarding the passage between two worlds, so we cannot receive any reinforcement. Why the fuck do I have to bear all your bullshit? You rascal, you swine. Why did you not come through when you made the promise?"

Tian Long was mentioning about Shi Lang's ascension. They had the promise to meet in the plane of immortals and compete in battle, but the latter did not come.

Shi Lang replied, "As if you do not know why I could not make it, mister fortune teller."

Tian Long snorted and said, "My time is up. I am leaving, do what you want."

Shi Lang wanted to say more, but the silhouette before him vanished slowly. The terran shook his head and said, "Loser, always giving up on wordplay. Humph, but who told him to mess with daddy."

...

Somewhere in the immortal realm. A middle-aged man was fuming with rage as he walked around the courtyard. The man did not say anything, but it was evident that he was angry about something.

A graceful lady watched him for a few minutes, and finally, she could not hold it and asked, "Tian, what is it?"

Tian Long stopped his stroll and yelled, "That bastard Shi Lang. How dare he fuck with me? I want to tear him to shreds. Motherfucker..."

Profanities echoed all around the place. Finally, the lady shook her head, and with a wave of her hand, she cast a barrier and said, "Calm down, you know he is like this, then why did you meddle with him? Forget about it."

Tian calmed down and shook his head. He said, "That guy does it on purpose. He does not want anyone to come closer. You know what the blood refiners did to his sister, right? He has been like that ever since."

...

Shi Lang looked at the stone arch and said, "Fine, let's see what this is about."

Then he picked up his feet and crossed under the stone arch. The surroundings changed, and he sighed. He mumbled, "To think that Tian Long used engraving to guard this place."

Following his words, a faint ethereal voice sounded in the place. Shi Lang was now standing in a white void with no boundaries. So he couldn't move. It did not make any difference.

The voice became louder, and soon Shi Lang heard, "Tian Long selected you?"

Shi Lang looked behind him and found a golden sparrow flying around. The bird was as big as his palm. However, it did not seem to be friendly. The aura radiated was very strong. Shi Lang nodded and said, "I am the one he asked to come."

The golden sparrow changed her form and appeared in an ancient hanfu. The person was a delicate girl. She gazed at Shi Lang, but the young man could not see her face. So he did not bother with it. This person's realm was too high for him to worry.

The lady said, "I am Eternia. You came here means you are aware of the battle of wills."

Shi Lang nodded, and the lady continued, "You will have three chances, and if you can convince me to admit defeat, I will lift the curse on this world. After that, the world's laws will restore to their original state."

The young terran nodded and said, "Thank you, senior."

The golden sparrow said, "You have one minute to clear the condition."

This was a bomb that Tian Long did not tell him about, and now the young man was in a fix. He did not know what to do. However, it was clear that he could not defeat this lady with his current strength. If she was radiating such intense spiritual pressure, then it was obvious that her spirit could not be affected too.

At least one minute will not be enough to find a breakthrough. Shi Lang's brain was shifting gears and running at high speed. He had no idea what to do to clear this trial. He cursed himself and thought, 'It is such a simple thing, yet I cannot do it?'

When he was thinking about this, an idea clicked on him. He raised his head to look at the lady and bowed his back. He asked, "Senior, I cannot defeat you, but can you please restore the world laws to the original? The humans and spirit beasts you cared for also exist in the immortal plane. At this moment, those who harmed you are harming them as well. Kindly allow us a chance to go and help our kin."

The lady asked, "Why? Why do you bow to those you do not know? Why do you plead for those your forefathers have been enemies with?"

Shi Lang replied, "I am bowing because I am not inconsiderate like others. I know that the balance of life is connected to both the humans and the spirit beasts existing in harmony. But, I plead because I am me and not my forefathers. Those who lost sight of what was necessary for the face of power and greed. I do not wish to be like them."

The lady did not react for a few minutes, but then she waved her hand, and Shi Lang was forced to stand up. He looked up and found that he could see the lady's face now. The lady said in a gentle tone, "Took you a long time to come over, human. My time is almost up. I hope that you can pass down my message outside. Never to be blindly trustful but they must also not be too wary of others.

My parents wished for me to be the bridge between the two sides. I hope both sides can achieve what they could not achieve when I was alive after my death. Lead them to a better future."

Shi Lang bowed his head but before he could say no, he was pushed out of the void. He sensed a subtle change in surroundings. Unity appeared beside him and asked, "Is it done? I can sense it, you did it."

The young man shook his head and said in a low voice, "It was never a battle, it was a request all along. So that they can remember you, right?"
