Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 635

635 Little Flower

Xue Wei, Ling Xiao, Hei Gou, and Bai Tianyi had all been frantically trying to figure out a way to solve their current troubles, and thus, none of them had paid much attention to Luoluo, who was being protected behind them.

By the time her voice reverberated through the tunnel, her body no longer had a humanoid shape, but instead turned into a giant ball of light bringing tranquility and peace to anyone close by.

The light that lit up their darkest hour came from the cracked core that contained Luoluo’s spirit, and by the time these cracks had appeared, it was no longer possible for her to keep her spirituality.

Even so, she did not regret it. As she felt her consciousness slowly blurring, all she could remember was the time she had spent alongside their group traveling. It was as if the thousands of years she had lived before encountering Xue Wei and his group were not as important as the few years spent by their side. Even now, where she had to give up her eternal life, she felt relieved and happy to know that her sacrifice would give them a chance of survival.

“Thank you.”

Luoluo’s final words were soft and gentle. They swept across the gloomy tunnel and brought peace and calmness to everyone present.

The gentle voice and peaceful mood was not only affecting Xue Wei and the others, but it also managed to calm down the remnant emotions that had gone berserk.

These emotions were not alive, nor had they gained consciousness. It was merely an amalgamation of negative emotions that had ended up becoming physical, much like how water vapor would condensate into clouds and finally fall as rain once more.

An amalgamation like this, created by excessive negative emotions, was extremely rare, and many worlds would never even be capable of creating one throughout its entire lifespan, so to encounter one like this, it was their bad luck.

.....

Unlike evil spirits and souls, these emotions had no other weakness than their anger itself. They were not considered evil creatures and thus were much harder to deal with.

However, it was this bad luck, coupled with the emotional amalgamation’s survivability that had pressured them to a point where Luoluo decided to give her spirituality away in return for their future.

“No!” Xue Wei felt shocked when he noticed what had happened, but he was unable to stop anything at this point in time. He had already given away his spiritual energy, and was unable to get close to the fractured core. He could only stay at a certain distance and feel helpless and frustrated.

Although Xue Wei did not love Luoluo as one would their life-partner, he still considered her his family member. To him, each of these people who had traveled alongside him for so many years, they were his family and his friends. They were the ones he relied on and could show his weakness in front of.

In many ways, the ones who were following him were his closest people, and even closer than Wang Xiaoyun, who had stolen his heart.

However, no matter how helpless he felt, and how he wanted to stop the scenario in front of him from continuing, he was unable to change anything.

By the time the bindings that kept him away vanished, LuoLuo’s core had long since dissipated into thin air, and in its place a small plant was left on the ground.

Unlike most plants that would grow from the ground, this one did have its roots, but it did not have any soil to hide them in, and the flower itself seemed fairly young, as only the leaves had grown.

Unfortunately, this young flower did not seem to have the energy that most sprouts should have, and instead, the leaves were hanging weakly and seemed to lack nutrients.

By now, the peaceful atmosphere had completely eradicated the amalgamation of remnant emotions, and all the danger they had encountered before had turned to nothingness.

The strong contrast between the chaotic despair from before and the silence now present was overwhelming, but none of the four remaining people had time to care about such details.

All of them had put all their focus on the little flower on the ground, fearing and worrying about how to protect it.

“I do not have any useful soil right now, but she seems to be in a bad shape. I have an Ice Jade Box which I used to carry some of the more important herbs when refining pills. For now, I can only suggest we placed her in this.

“When we leave No Man’s Land, we have to find a place with spiritual soil to nurture her. Although her spirit has cracked, her original body is still present, so we should be able to nurture her again. As long as we live, we should never give up.

“If possible, I think we can also try to see if pills and other spiritual items can be used to fertilize her soil and help her grow up.

“However, we need to protect her. Although we want her to grow up and become a spirit again, we can’t take a risk and make her burst with energy. This is what we owe her.”

Xue Wei gently took out a special kind of box he had used before. Currently a few high-end herbs were placed within, but he quickly took them out and tossed them back into his storage treasure with no care before he kneeled down next to the little flower on the ground.

The box was placed on the floor and Xue Wei gently and slowly used both hands to lift the flower and cushion it into the box, fearing that the slightest move might hurt the roots or cause her discomfort. Although her spirit was gone, Xue Wei still felt that his good friend was still present. He just needed to wake her from an eternal sleep once more.
