Chapter 1129 Reap What You Sow!
In a strange, mysterious domain filled with countless stars and cracked space, two silhouettes were flying at a terrifying speed, leaving behind trails of lights. One of them was a handsome man, and he was holding a tiny ethereal seed that was half black and half white, enveloped in a translucent sphere.
"We finally found it! Now, we can cure him of that damnable curse!" The man exclaimed with excitement. He looked at the ethereal seed with agitation as if it were the most precious treasure, and he was afraid it might vanish from his grasp!
The second silhouette was a woman wearing a mask. She nodded with deep affection and worry in her starry eyes, "All we need to do now is give it to him, and he'll be able to live on!"
"Heh, I'm happier about him not being a cripple anymore!" The man stated matter-of-factly with a hint of relief.
"Hmph, he can live as he likes. Besides, it's been many years since we left him. With the seal, he'll be aged just like normal humans, and he might already be at the dawn of his middle age. He might already have married someone! We have to be prepared!" the woman retorted with a clear anxiety in her voice.
The man's elation suddenly vanished into smoke, and a pained expression appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and spat, "Our son was destined to rule over heaven, yet he falls under those vile fossils' schemes! I can't accept outliving my own son! He'll understand once we explain everything to him. Even if he has a wife or children, we can just train them as well!"
The woman hesitated for a moment before she said, "Maybe we should keep this to ourselves and keep him away from them. Don't forget what the senior said to us when he saved him. He said even if we managed to find this seed, his inborn talent would be forever gone, and he'd have only ordinary talent. "So, we should keep our burden to ourselves and support him the best we could. This is the only way we can pay him for not being able to protect him. Let him live his life as he wants until he leaves this vile world, and then we can just follow him by dragging those old ghosts with us!" Tears suddenly filled her eyes before dense killing intent filled with hatred shone in them.
"Sigh...maybe you're right..." The man sighed ruefully as his eyes were just like the woman's, laced with hatred and killing intent when he remembered about the past.
However, at this moment, their expressions suddenly changed, and they instantly stopped flying. In front of them, there were nothing but cracks in space.
"Yet fate's grand dance requires a guiding hand, To nudge it forward, across the shifting sand. Tell me, Sages, when fortune's wheel does turn, Is kindness the only lesson, or a lesson to be spurned?"
The riddle was subtle, but Own and Stella could still guess what he was trying to imply. But they weren't sure since no one had ever been able to guess this mysterious entity's real thoughts, as he knew how to hide them in those strange riddles.
"We can't understand your profound words, Senior. But if there's nothing important, please let us pass since we need to save our son. You know better than anyone what kind of condition he's in. We'll properly thank you for your past kindness once we save him!" Stella spoke with a hint of coldness. She was starting to have a foreboding feeling. She knew the Venerable Diviner was aware of their plight and the importance of the seed. However, his intervention didn't seem entirely selfless anymore, which is a complete contrast to the past.
Even in the past, she had guessed that he deliberately helped them when he saw an opportunity in them, but she didn't care at that time since all she could think was saving her son.
The Venerable Diviner chuckled as if he didn't care about the couple's vigilance against him and replied, "I think there's no need for you to deliver this seed to young Ace anymore. My seal had already been broken, which could only mean two things.
"First, he's no longer alive, or second, someone even more powerful than me intervened. But the chance of the latter happening is impossible. Still, even if someone else broke the seal, he won't be able to live for long once the curse flares up again, and you both won't be able to make it in time.
"That's why I'm here to demand the seed since young Ace didn't have any more use for it. This will end the karma between us. In return, I can send you to him so you can be untied in the afterlife. So, please don't make it difficult for this old man!"
Owen's eyes widened in disbelief, and Stella's body started to shake as a deadly aura suddenly gushed out when they heard the Venerable Diviner's words.
"Die!"
The next moment a terrifying battle unfold in this strange domain which no one could witness!
