Chapter 260 - Resuscitation
Chapter 260 Resuscitation
In September, although the temperature in Heaven Capital was still not low, it had become cool at night, accompanied by the sea breeze.
Heaven Capital was actually Changdao.
Less than a month after the final battle of Changdao ended, everyone seemed to have forgotten Changdao’s name.
It became Heaven Capital, the Heaven Capital of Deity.
On the East Island’s newly printed map, the words “Heaven Capital” replaced “Changdao”.
In less than a month, the Purgatory of Heaven Capital gradually began to take control of the East Island’s Special Warfare System, and all procedures were in transition.
After the death of Shinichi Miyamoto, Mai Shiranui, the Young Palace Master of Liuhuo Palace, went and sought refuge with the Purgatory of Heaven Capital. Moreover, she became the current Palace Master of Liuhuo Palace. And their participation made it easier for Deity to control the Divine Wind Force.
After suffering a crushing defeat in the currency war, East Island was as dead as a pool of stagnant water. But in the eyes of those who lay their eyes on it, East Island changed almost every moment.
When facing the disaster, the extremely mysterious Purgatory of Heaven Capital and the East Island in a disastrous state merged at an incredible rate, eventually becoming indistinguishable from each other.
Military Counselor felt like a witness to everything.
He now lived in the temporary headquarters of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, guarding Li Tianlan.
This place was so close to the mysterious Deity that he could even hear his every decision and feel the drastic changes that his decisions brought to East Island.
Military Counselor didn’t leave Heaven Capital.
He didn’t get the rest he wanted for a while, either.
On the contrary, when Saint had done his work, he went back to Zhongzhou State first.
Saint was no longer at his peak. His strength fell to the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm from the Half-step Invincible Realm. His foundation grew stronger, but his combat strength declined. Thus, the task of guarding Li Tianlan fell on Military Counselor.
Military Counselor had seen a lot these days.
If nothing else happened, and even if Samsara Palace and the Purgatory of Heaven Capital continued to work together, it was probably his only chance to see this force up close.
The more he observed it, the more dignified he became.
Deity had done a lot of things these days.
Military Counselor could sense that something he had done was aimed at East Island.
The Purgatory of Heaven Capital now controlled the East Island’s Special Warfare System, but they couldn’t use East Island people to do things against East Island.
That was what made Military Counselor shudder the most.
Because from beginning to end, Daybreak, Dawn, and Phoenix stayed here all the time.
Deity himself basically never left.
So where was the person who did that?
Now, as time went on, Deity seemed to have more people at his disposal and to be able to do things more easily. In silence, Military Counselor could easily feel the immense hidden power in the dark.
That power was unknown, but it worked efficiently.
With the entire Special Warfare System of East Island as the bargaining chip, Samsara Palace granted Deity’s wish.
But was it really in the interests of Samsara Palace to have the Purgatory of Heaven Capital that seemed too powerful?
Looking out of the window at the quiet night, Military Counselor remained motionless and could hardly breathe inside.
“What are you thinking about?”
A voice suddenly sounded beside Military Counselor, soft and gentle.
Military Counselor had long been used to Deity being around him without warning. He shook his head and said calmly, “Nothing.”
“I see,” said Deity. He was not wearing his black cloak or carrying his grim Death Sickle. Standing there in casual clothes, he emanated an only feeling of peace and authenticity.
“Today is the last day,” said Deity all of a sudden.
Military Counselor’s face suddenly tightened.
The last day!
By this time, the final battle of Changdao had already passed more than half a month.
However, neither Military Counselor had seen Li Tianlan nor knew anything about him.
Li Tianlan was placed in the villa where Military Counselor was at, but Deity issued a strict order that no one should disturb him.
Military Counselor couldn’t do anything but guard him outside.
Deity would come here almost every day, and the time he stayed gradually changed from the initial three or five hours to one or two hours, and then to dozens of minutes.
Till Now.
This was the last day.
“Will Tianlan wake up?” Military Counselor asked.
There was excitement in his heart and some awe in his eyes.
Deity could save Li Tianlan, which he had known for a long time.
But it was true that Li Tianlan had lost all signs of life back then. If he were to wake up today, it would seem to others that he was resurrected.
What an amazing way!
“You want him to wake up?”
Deity asked with an odd expression.
Military Counselor was excited inside but calm on the surface. He said earnestly, “I just want him to recover.”
“If you want him to recover completely, he can’t wake up now. I need one more thing.”
Deity seemed to think of something, and there was a chill in his eyes.
“What is it?”
Military Counselor asked, taking a deep breath.
“A flower.”
Deity said blandly, “So after today, take him out of here. The flower is already in bloom in Qingyun Temple, Lin’an, Zhongzhou State.” ...
“Qingyun Temple...”
Military Counselor murmured to himself, with some surprise on his face. “Great Master Wuwei?”
Deity turned his head and shot a deep glance at Military Counselor. His eyes seemed to pierce everything. Finally, he chuckled and said, “You know that place? It sounds like you’ve been there. Military Counselor... Military Counselor...”
He shook his head and added, “The origins of the 12 Super Masters of Samsara are traceable. Even Saint’s current identity is no secret to me. But I’ve never heard of you. Who are you?”
“And you?”
There was something meaningful in Military Counselor’s eyes. “Who are you?” he asked.
“Of course, I am Deity.”
Deity’s tone was indifferent.
“I’m Military Counselor, of course.”
Military Counselor’s tone was indifferent as well.
Deity said no more, turned upstairs, and went into Li Tianlan’s room.
Military Counselor waited silently outside, counting the time.
Time passed by quickly.
This time, Deity walked out of the room in less than twenty minutes.
“Go and find that flower.”
Deity looked at Military Counselor with a complicated look in his eyes.
That flower.
The ineffable flower...
In those days, if he had had that flower, how could he fail to enter the Invincible Realm in this lifetime?
Unfortunately, he didn’t get it.
Therefore, he could go no further in this life.
Deity’s shadow faded away without a trace of nostalgia.
He had not had the flower, but he had gained many years.
That was the truth.
Even if he didn’t get enough, he felt it sufficient.
The figure of Military Counselor rushed into Li Tianlan’s room.
The room was empty, utterly devoid of any furniture. In the middle was an extremely tall ice coffin.
There was nothing different about the ice coffin, but it was emitting a distinctive smell all around it.
Li Tianlan was lying in the ice coffin, enveloped by some white mist that loomed over it.
He was dressed in white, and his face was ruddy.
The sword wound that had pierced his heart was gone.
The scarlet Divine Punishment.
The silver Legend of Qin.
The Human Emperor, which was broken in two, was placed in the ice coffin together with him.
He folded his hands and held an old bronze mirror.
That was the Yata no Kagami, the state divine device of East Island.
But at this point, there were cracks in the Yata no Kagami. The fate, which seemed tangible, turned into wisps of white mist and covered Li Tianlan up.
Military Counselor hesitated for a long while. Finally, he reached out and touched the ice coffin in front.
The ice coffin suddenly cracked, and all the mist in it vanished.
The coffin was broken into pieces of ice that fell to the ground and vanished without a trace.
Li Tianlan’s body fell and was held by Military Counselor.
Military Counselor looked at Li Tianlan with some confusion. “What the hell is going on here?” he thought.
Li Tianlan’s face was ruddy and healthy. He wasn’t breathing, but his heart started to beat.
“There’s a car outside to take you to the airport. The private plane has been arranged. Take his things and go.”
The voice of Deity seemed to reach Military Counselor from far away.
“Thanks.”
Military Counselor suddenly recovered himself and thanked him.
In any case, if Li Tianlan could really wake up, the entire Samsara and Li family owed Deity thanks.
After a moment’s silence, Deity said indifferently, “Tell Boss Qin for me; if the battle in East Island is just the beginning and a small scene as she said, then I am looking forward to the next cooperation.”
Military Counselor packed up Li Tianlan’s items and left with him.
He didn’t respond, and he couldn’t.
According to the plan, the scheme against East Island was merely the beginning.
But the problem was that more than half a month had passed since the final battle of Changdao.
Li Tianlan hadn’t woken up yet.
The same was true for Qin Weibai!
The pre-arranged motor home of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital was drifting away from his view.
Standing on the balcony of his villa, Deity watched the vehicle disappear and eventually turn into a small black dot.
Dressed in a purple palace costume, Princess Zi Ye gently and obediently nestled in his arms, as he looked at the small black dot in the distance.
“They are gone.”
The black spot in their sight disappeared wholly.
Zi Ye moved her body and whispered coquettishly.
Deity said yes.
“Let’s sleep...”
Zi Ye’s voice grew gentler, and her body seemed to go limp. She was the fairest of all women in the royal family. Now, after turning from a girl into a woman, she exuded a very reserved and delicate charm from head to toe.
“I can do it today, maybe...”
She blushed. “Today, we may succeed...”
Deity smiled, picked Zi Ye up, and strode to the bedroom.
Zi Ye obediently put her arms around Deity’s neck and tilted her head to bit his ear. “Do you prefer a boy or a girl?”
“A boy, of course.”
“He... Will he be the Crown Prince of East Island in the future? He’s going to be...”
“Hmm.”
“I... I even have the baby’s name in my mind.”
“His name will be Huawu. I’ve thought about it.”
Huawu.
Deity’s first son was Huawu.
But he was dead.
His second son would be called Huawu as well.
He hadn’t obtained that flower in those days, but he had gained many years.
Whether or not the old monk was partial, Deity got something at last.
Black and white were about to alternate between heaven and earth.
Military Counselor took Li Tianlan up to Mount Qingyun through the deepest night.
Great Master Wuwei was sitting right in front of Qingyun Temple.
He was looking at a flower.
The fairyland that once caused an uproar on the Internet no longer existed.
The white mist had utterly disappeared, and all the flowers and trees on the mountain wholly withered.
The diffuse fate and the vitality of the mountain were compressed to the extreme. As the former and the blood of Great Master Wuwei mixed, a flower was finally in blossom.
Only one.
A flower that sparkled with all sorts of colors.
Military Counselor saw the delicate but vibrant flower at a distance. But it wasn’t until he got closer that he saw Great Master Wuwei.
Great Master Wuwei’s bright-colored cassock had become strips of cloth hanging over him. Blood soaked the cassock. His hair was grey, and there were wrinkles all over his face.
In the dark, he sat there motionless, like a statue without any sign of life.
Military Counselor was taken aback. After a moment’s hesitation, he asked respectfully, “Great Master Wuwei?”
Great Master Wuwei lifted his head. His eyes were dim, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
From the final battle of Changdao to tonight.
It was his first move.
“Pick it.”
He spoke slowly, looking at the flower in front of him.
Military Counselor was observing the flower in front of the great master.
It was the flower of which Deity mentioned. It had no leaves or stamens, except for shimmering petals of unreal colors.
“This flower...”
Military Counselor picked it carefully with some confusion.
“It’s not a flower.”
Great Master Wuwei shook his head wearily and added, “It’s the dragon vein.”
Military Counselor’s palm shook, and he almost threw the flower on the ground.
The really big shots in Zhongzhou State were vaguely aware that the dragon vein had disappeared entirely nearly two decades ago, so did Military Counselor.
It never occurred to him that this extraordinary looking flower was the so-called dragon vein!
How much fate and vitality did this flower represent?
Military Counselor couldn’t imagine it.
“The dragon vein is incomplete, but it’s sufficient to save the young man.”
Great Master Wuwei coughed and said in a hoarse voice, “How’s your boss?”
Military Counselor hesitated for a short while. He knew that the great master in front of him was his boss’s adoptive father and that he was in a bad state, so he told the truth. “My boss went into a coma the night when the final battle of Changdao broke out. She hasn’t woken up yet.”
Great Master Wuwei fell silent.
Just when Military Counselor thought that the great master had fallen asleep or even died, the old man sighed softly, “Infatuated...”
The ones with the most infatuation tended to be the most merciless.
The most merciless.
Across the night, Great Master Wuwei looked into the distance, as if he could see the sight ten thousand miles away.
“Give her a word for me,” Great Master Wuwei whispered.
How on this day, Military Counselor thought, could anyone let him be the messenger? But he nodded seriously and said, “Go ahead, please.”
“You are not you, and he is not him. Why do you persist?” Great Master Wuwei said blandly.
Military Counselor didn’t understand it, but he remembered it carefully in his heart.
He looked at the dragon vein in his hand, as if in a dilemma.
“Feed him.”
Great Master Wuwei said in a low voice, “Then put him in the main hall.”
Military Counselor said yes. His shaking hands tore off the unimaginable petals made of fate and fed them to Li Tianlan.
There were nine petals in total.
After putting all of them into Li Tianlan’s mouth, Military Counselor looked at Great Master Wuwei before him.
“Master, please.”
He reached out and pointed to the gate of the temple behind Great Master Wuwei.
But Great Master Wuwei shook his head and smiled more serenely.
“I can’t move.”
“Go,” he said.
Military Counselor was surprised and had an urge to ask. Finally, he could not resist the urge and asked, “Why can’t you move?”
“Because I have to wait for a moment.”
Great Master Wuwei coughed. “Go on, hurry up.”
Military Counselor did not dare to delay any longer. Holding Li Tianlan, he quickly walked into the main hall.
There was also an ice coffin in the main hall.
Military Counselor put Li Tianlan into the ice coffin. After a second thought, he went out of the gate of the temple.
Great Master Wuwei’s cough grew worse.
Seeing Military Counselor coming out, he just waved his hand and could not even speak.
“Master... Do you want to go to the hospital?”
Military Counselor looked at the old monk in front of him with some worry.
When he first entered Qingyun Temple with his private identity, he was fortunate to meet Great Master Wuwei.
At that time, he was not the Military Counselor of Samsara.
But Great Master Wuwei gave him a lot of instructions.
He never forgot this friendship.
“No need.”
Great Master Wuwei coughed for a while and calmed down again.
“Then, wait.”
Wait?
Military Counselor had some doubts, but before he could ask anything, the thick darkness was suddenly filled with endless brightness.
That was not light.
It was mist.
An immense amount of white mist surged silently in the main hall behind the gate of the temple.
The white mist grew thicker and thicker, enveloping everything in an instant.
In Military Counselor’s eyes, Great Master Wuwei was disappearing, and his figure was completely shrouded in mist. The two were less than two meters apart, but at this time, they actually could see nothing.
The white mist gradually thickened.
There was no flower in front of Great Master Wuwei.
But the roots and stem were still there.
When the two could not see anything, the roots and stem of the flower began to disappear little by little and eventually returned to the earth.
The whole Qingyun Temple seemed to gain vitality suddenly, and colorful colors diffused on the entire hill at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Representing infinite fate, the white mist rolled and spun in the air, wildly soaring into the sky and once again rushing into the main hall inside the gate of the temple.
The main hall was filled with white mist, which covered the Buddha statue and extinguished the oil lamps.
Something cracked.
The old ice coffin was crumbling away little by little.
When the ice coffin was gone.
When Li Tianlan’s body was floating in the air and about to fall.
In the thick mist.
Thousands of miles away, Qin Weibai opened her eyes at the same time as Li Tianlan did.
Outside the temple.
The flowers were blossoming all over the mountain.
