Successor Goddess of Death (Series 2)
137. Heavenly Fractions
She knelt down and lowered her head, her face covered by her hair that had completely unraveled.
People would think she was crying, but she raised her head while laughing.
"Ha ha ha, father, then, how did you meet me in the future ?" Ask her while laughing.
Xue Tian Long cupped her face with a serious look. He smiled as if there was no problem.
"My daughter, why are you smiling so widely. " Said Xue Tian Long.
"I guessed it all before I even came. " Speak it casually as if nothing happened.
She harbored all her disappointment, her heartache in her innermost heart. He saw, his father's condition is not good.
He did not want the sadness that he felt would make the old man's situation worse.
"I was able to meet you back then because I used my remaining strength to go to the future. It was only for a moment, look at my gray hair. " Say her father while pointing at her already whitened hair.
"Dad, what really happened to you ? Why do you look like you're not in good shape ?" Ask her curiously.
"Huft, this is all because of the curse of the Gods. Soon my strength will be completely gone and the other great Powers will be staring at us with greed. " Said Xue Tian Long.
"Sister, there's me who can guard this Sect. " The Protest of Xue Yun.
"It's true, but there are some elders who have long since disappeared from the martial world will appear again. They must know they're gonna lose my powers, and they've been after this for a long time." Said Xue Tian Long while lifting the Qilin Jade.
"Dad, what is this ? I have always felt that the energy fluctuation within this Qilin jade. " His speech was while lifting up the jade Qilin that was in his hands.
"This is a treasure of my family that has been in decline for several centuries, it has four parts. Our family has two parts and I gave her one to your mother. " Say her father.
"It is said that whoever manages to collect the four fragments will become the ruler of the world. At first, I was a God and no one dared to harass me. But, after I was thrown away, there were many pairs of greedy eyes. " Say Xue Tian Long sighed.
"Dad, so this is an heirloom ?" She asked in surprise because she thought that this was just an ordinary thing.
"Yes, this represents the four saint beasts. Namely, Qilin, Golden Crow, Phoenix, and Vermilion."Said Xue Tian Long while taking out another Phoenix-shaped shard.
His eyes immediately sparkled when he saw the shape of a Phoenix that was very beautiful and graceful.
"My strength can't last much longer, you two better go first and bring these two shards. " Speak Xue Tian Long softly but firmly.
And it was at that moment that he only remembered that in this room not only the two of them but there was still Xue Yun.
"Sister, I don't agree with your word. We live dead together, there's no way I'm just saving myself in times of trouble. " Say Xue Yun stubbornly.
"Fenghuang, Xue Yun is your uncle. She's my real sister. " Said Xue Tian Long.
She could barely control herself when she heard this, she immediately lowered her head to give her regards.
"Dad, I agree with what my uncle said. I'd be sorry for a lifetime if I had to save my own life and sacrifice yourself. You don't know how long I've been waiting for this. " Take it with a deep look.
For so long she waited for the truth to be revealed and she would soon find out the whereabouts of her real parents, but when that time came, she did not feel happy.
He's sick, so sick. Either because the reality is so bitter and interesting to get out of a beautiful dream about a happy family or see the state of his father who can not even stand.
His taste is so tight right, until he can not breathe.
"alright. But, I want you to keep this one and you keep this one. This is called the Heavenly Split, you must collect the other shards after I am gone. " Say Xue Tian Long while giving up her Phoenix.
"Dad, can't it be destroyed, right ? If this is really bloody, why not destroy one of them ?" Ask her confusedly.
"I've always thought about this before, but there's nothing I can do even when I'm still a God. It can't be destroyed. " Said Xue Tian Long.
"Can't be destroyed, right ?" His mutter, he knocked the jade with power.
But, streams of energy flowed back towards her, she quickly dodged the energy attack. He nodded in understanding what his father had said.
"Dad, why did you just point to yourself now that I've been here for more than seven months ?" Ask her slowly.
"Because, I feel that this fact will disturb your mind. You will become unfocused for your training, congratulations for your victory. " Said Xue Tian Long with a faint smile.
"Thank you dad. " Say her.
"Sister, this is your time to rest. " The words of Xue Yun who was instantly countered with a sharp gaze from Xue Tian Long.
He laughed lightly and understood.
"Dad, I'll come back here in the morning. I say goodbye, I have a guest in my house to take care of. " Speak her while bowing her body to the two people.
He walked out, his whole face changed. Before his calm and untouchable, now become more emotional.
He stored the Heavenly Fractions into his body, his steps trembled as if he had no spirit.
"It's all too coincidental, isn't it ? " She murmured sadly.
"I don't think I'm going to be disappointed and I've been thinking about this possibility. Why do I still feel disappointed ? Actually, what do I really hope is right ?" He muttered while walking without direction.
