“In this world, there are not many people like your teacher.”
Hearing this, Liu Li did not say anything and only tightly gripped his fists as his entire body trembled.
Soon, his face was stained with tears, flowing down his face.
He continued to silently sob for a long time.
Looking at him like this, Yu Shan opened his mouth, wanting to chide him. However, in the end, he did not say anything.
After crying for a while, Liu Li turned and saw something.
On the bed, where Chen Heng had been sitting, there was a black gemstone.
The black gemstone was giving off s faint black light and attracted Liu Li’s attention—it was the one that Liu Li had given Chen Heng back then.
Looking at the black gemstone, Liu Li bit his lip and picked it up.
When he picked it up, a wave of information entered his mind.
It was insight into the Heaven Devouring Scripture, and it deepened his understanding of the Heaven Devouring Scripture.
Following this, a familiar voice sounded out.
“My dear disciple,” Chen Heng’s voice once again sounded out in Liu Li’s mind.
In front of Liu Li, an image appeared.
Chen Heng once again appeared before Liu Li, looking as young and extraordinary as he had in the past.
Both Liu Li and Yu Shan knew that this Chen Heng was not his actual person but just some memories he left behind ahead of time.
“The Heaven Devouring Scripture is indeed incredible, and the creator is a legendary figure; your teacher cannot compare to him.
“However, this technique’s downsides are a bit too significant.”
Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he said, “Using this technique to steal other peoples’ constitutions and bloodlines is the same as slaughtering one’s relatives to become stronger. This is an evil path.
“Before, I had been planning to seal your knowledge of it, but after thinking about it, I felt that this was not appropriate.
Chen Heng lowered his head, as if he was looking at Liu Li, “I don’t want you to fall into the evil path, but I cannot make this decision for you. You should choose your future for yourself. As such, I decided to leave this technique behind and let you choose for yourself.
“Your future is your own and no one can make that decision for you, including me. However, I believe that you will not fall into such a state.”
Chen Heng continued to speak for a while, and in the end, he smiled.
“In the end, those who meet must part, and it is now time for your teacher to leave. It’s just a pity…”
Chen Heng sighed, “In the end, I won’t be able to see what your futures will be like.”
A complicated expression appeared on Chen Heng’s face, seeming like he felt that it was a pity.
Following this, Chen Heng’s image became hazy before dissipating.
By now, Liu Li was sobbing again.
“Teacher…” Watching Chen Heng’s image disappear, he did not know what to say.
As a transmigrator, and going through much suffering over the past ten or so years, he had thought that his will was incredibly strong and that he would not cry over anything.
However, things had turned out like this.
The black pendant hanging before his chest flashed.
Within it, after seeing that scene too, Yu Shan’s expression was also quite complicated, not knowing what to say.
In the end, he could only deeply sigh and say, “Don’t cry anymore.”
His expression became calm again as he said, “Your teacher has not left for long… if you go now, you might be able to bring back your teacher’s body. Otherwise, after a while, it might be eaten by the wolves.”
“What?” Liu Li paused for a moment but quickly came back to his senses.
He did not hesitate and sprinted in the direction that Yu Shan had told him.
Compared to before, he was now much faster.
This was a change brought from completing Foundation Building.
The baptism that Chen Heng had given him not only destroyed any cultivation obstructions in his body, but it also created a cultivation foundation for him, turning him into a cultivator.
Compared to before, he was naturally much faster and stronger.
Soon, Liu Li reached his destination.
It was just that by the time he arrived at where Chen Heng had fallen, he could not see any signs of Chen Heng’s corpse.
There were just Chen Heng’s clothes, and there was not anything else.
“How can it be like this?”
Looking at the familiar clothes, Liu Li once again felt stunned.
“Looks like his body has already become part of the Dao,” Yu Shan’s voice once again sounded out, “Soon, this area will become a small-scale spiritual land and might revitalize the spirit qi in this area.”
The effects of a True Lord becoming part of the Dao was very evident.
From what Yu Shan could sense, the spirit qi here had become much denser.
Even though the spirit qi was still quite thin, within the Desolate Region, it was already quite good.
Hearing Yu Shan’s words, Liu Li came back to his senses and silently nodded before picking up Chen Heng’s clothes.
Soon, he returned to his residence.
By this time, Liu Yi had woken up.
She looked at her big brother and still looked somewhat sleepy as she said, “Big brother… just then, I had a long dream…”
Her eyes were red, looking quite sad, “In my dream, teacher… he died…
“After that, when I woke up, teacher was gone…
“Big brother, teacher…”
“He’s fine.”
Looking at Liu Yi, Liu Li fell silent for a while before saying, “Teacher just went to a very far away place, and he will only come back after a long time…”
“Really?” Liu Yi seemed to believe Liu Li, but was also somewhat confused, “Then why… didn’t he tell Yi Yi? Did Yi Yi do something to make teacher angry?”
She still looked quite sad.
“No,” Liu Li forced himself to smile as he patiently comforted Liu Yi. After lying and comforting her for a while, only then did Liu Yi wearily go back to sleep.
As for Liu Li, he found a hidden place to bury Chen Heng’s clothes. He had not found Chen Heng’s corpse, so he could only make do with Chen Heng’s clothes.
It was just that he did not dare to make a gravestone—making a gravestone in the Desolate Region was very dangerous.
Some people would dig up graves just to find some spirit stones.
If Liu Li made a gravestone for Chen Heng, it was possible that Chen Heng’s grave could be disturbed.
After doing this, Liu Li knelt on the ground and deeply kowtowed, “Teacher, don’t worry; I understand. In the future, I will follow your teachings and definitely will not fall into the evil path. In the future, I will continue your legacy and bring glory to the Feather Scripture.”
Liu Li’s head touched the ground as he said resolutely, “As for those who did this to you, after I become strong, I will find a way to track them down and take revenge for you.”
Chen Heng had died because his cultivation foundation had been destroyed, and one’s cultivation foundation would not collapse for no reason.
In the past, Chen Heng had never mentioned this; evidently, he did not want them to get involved.
However, as Chen Heng’s disciple, Liu Li could not just ignore this.
After he became powerful, he would find out about what had happened to Chen Heng.
If Chen Heng’s injuries had been caused by others, he would get revenge for Chen Heng no matter what.
Right now, Liu Li felt incredibly resolute.
After memorializing Chen Heng and hiding this place, Liu Li turned and returned to his residence.
Following this, he tried to cultivate.
As soon as he sat down, he could feel that things were different.
In the past, it had been incredibly difficult for him; even with all kinds of spirit pills and spirit medicines from Chen Heng, it was difficult for him to get into the right state of mind, and it was very hard for him to absorb spirit qi and refine it into magic energy.
However, things were completely different now.
Right now, it was as if he had become a different person; cultivation was incredibly easy and was as simple as eating or drinking.
Around him, spirit qi continuously flowed into his body, which he refined into magic energy.
Every now and then, he could sense the magic energy in his body roiling, causing him to become stronger.
He had never felt this before.
Even Yu Shan was quite shocked.
“Your current talent is not any inferior to those geniuses with complete Spirit Roots.”
Yu Shan’s voice sounded out in Liu Li’s mind, sounding quite shocked.
Liu Li had gone through massive changes.
Before, his talent was terrible and could be said to be trash.
After receiving a True Lord’s essence blood, his constitution had greatly changed and he seemed to have become a different person.
Right now, the current Liu Li was essentially a genius and could stand on the same level as true geniuses.
Moreover, these shocking changes had not brought him any negative side-effects.
Chen Heng had refined his constitution and bloodline and given his essence blood willingly; there was not any baleful aura or killing intent contained within it, so there were no negative effects.
This kind of result made Yu Shan sigh in awe.
“What a lucky boy.”
A True Lord sacrificing himself for two mortals; this sort of thing was almost impossible.
Liu Li had received half of a True Lord’s essence blood, so it was almost expected for there to be such effects.
Thinking to there, Yu Shan looked at Liu Yi, who was sweetly sleeping on the bed.
The little girl was wearing a robe and lying on the bed, and she seemed like she was having a good dream.
Powerful True Lord essence blood was also changing her constitution and causing her constitution to become more powerful.
Liu Yi’s constitution and talent had already been quite extraordinary, and she already had a complete Spirit Root.
Now that a True Lord had given her a baptism, her foundation had risen to another level.
Her constitution became even more terrifying.
“If he can devour this girl…”
Looking at the sleeping Liu Yi, Yu Shan’s expression became cold as he thought to himself.
The process had only just ended and the True Lord’s essence blood was still flowing within her body.
If Liu Li used the Heaven Devouring Scripture right now, not only could he devour this girl, but he could also take the True Lord essence blood from her.
After doing this, Liu Li’s constitution and talent would become even more terrifying.
Moreover, Liu Yi was not wary of Liu Li at all.
If Liu Li wanted to, he could act at any moment with great ease.
Thinking to there, Yu Shan’s expression became cold.
However, after a while, he looked at Liu Li, and sensing the grief in his heart, he sighed and did not speak.
“Indeed, there’s no need,” he sighed and thought to himself while thinking about what Chen Heng had done.
The Heaven Devouring Scripture was not a good technique and had grave side-effects.
If Liu Li’s talent was incredibly bad, then perhaps he might have to resort to such means.
However, thinking of Chen Heng’s sacrifice, he put aside those thoughts.
There was no need anymore.
A deep darkness covered everything.
It was like a deep abyss had been opened, devouring everything before it.
When Chen Heng died, his consciousness had temporarily fallen into stillness, and it was only a while later that he woke up.
When he woke up, the place he was in had changed.
After dying in the simulation, he had returned to his own world.
The current him was lying on his bed in his room.
“Was that the feeling of dying…”
Lying on the bed, Chen Heng recalled that feeling, which still clearly lingered in his mind.
He could still feel that cold and deathly stillness.
After lying on his bed for a while, he shook his head and looked ahead.
In front of him, rows of words appeared.
“The simulation has concluded…”
“Calculating final score…”
“In the unfamiliar world, you set out on a journey and did many things…
“You killed many people… as well as saved many people… You changed many people’s destinies…
“You affected many people with Fortune and changed their futures.
“Overall evaluation: Excellent.
“Calculation concluded. Your final Points score: 7,327…”
Seeing this, Chen Heng grinned.
More than 7,000 Points…
It seemed that all of his efforts had been worth it.
This was the most time he had spent in a simulation before—it had been many centuries.
In the Eastern Continent, he had taken down many sects and established himself as supreme, and he had great influence in that region.
As such, it was not strange at all for him to obtain so many Points.
However, he also noticed something in the concluding remarks.
“So I also obtained some Points from affecting those with Fortune?” Chen Heng smiled as he thought to himself.
It was just as he had expected.
It seemed that changing the fates of those with Fortune could also greatly increase the number of Points he obtained.
Otherwise, the simulator would not have such a remark.
