Chapter 2004: Chapter 2090: Waiting Faithfully for Ten Thousand Years
Chen Nan picked up Bai Yue’er’s delicate jade hand on the Ten-thousand-year-old Xuan Crystal Bed and put the ring given by Bai Ze on her finger.
At that moment, the residual soul of Bai Yue’er standing in the tomb suddenly trembled slightly, with the fluctuation of soul power.
Man Wuji saw this scene and hurriedly infused a divine power towards Bai Yue’er: "Sister Bai, what’s happening?"
With force in his other hand, he shook the Haotian Tower away.
"Clang!"
The Haotian Tower collided against the stone wall of the tomb, "Ouch, that hurt the little tower lord!"
The force was so great that the entire tomb trembled slightly.
Man Wuji’s one hand was freed up, gathering power to kill Chen Nan in an instant, but he saw a tear fall from Sister Bai’s remnant soul.
Soul tear!
"Chen Nan, did you already think that the Supreme Ancient power Bai Yue’er was looking for in the Four Extremes World is actually this remnant soul on the ring?" Haotian Tower shouted furiously.
The material of its tower body was special, but even so, it could still feel the pain against the full strike of the Supreme King.
"Little Tower, you’ve misunderstood me. I swear, a venomous oath, I just thought of it. The ring is so small, how could I remember? If it weren’t for the brink of life and death..."
Chen Nan defended himself, but Haotian Tower remained suspiciously glaring at him. One person and one tower were staring at each other in the Sea of Consciousness while outside an astonishing change occurred.
Bai Yue’er’s residual soul, in an instant, returned to the body on the Ten-thousand-year-old Xuan Crystal Bed.
The next second, she stood up, but was extremely weak.
Man Wuji watched this scene, his expression changing, his eyes full of distress, as he grabbed the retreating Chen Nan, "Boy, what did you do? You want to harm my Sister Bai, I’ll kill you."
In his hand, a black bone was about to smash down on Chen Nan’s forehead in an instant.
"Wuji, won’t you even listen to me?" Bai Yue’er on the Ten-thousand-year-old Xuan Crystal Bed walked towards Man Wuji and Chen Nan, her eyes slightly angry.
"Sister Bai, I wouldn’t dare, but you know, you’re just a residual soul now. Entering your original top supreme body cannot bear that power, which will rapidly deplete your soul power, leading to possible divine soul annihilation."
Man Wuji pleaded with sincerity in his eyes, without a hint of defiance against Bai Yue’er, as if her words were a decree.
Bai Yue’er gently caressed the ring on her index finger, her eyes filled with tenderness and love, a feeling of deep affection.
"Wuji, Sister once said she was waiting for someone. That person has now come. Even if it leads to divine soul annihilation, for Sister, to be with him in the last moments of life, there is no regret."
Bai Yue’er raised her head, staring intently at Chen Nan.
As if to imprint his face in her heart.
Man Wuji stood speechless, incredulous at this scene, "No way, Sister Bai, the person you were waiting for can’t be him, right? He looks... could it be he’s Big Brother’s reincarnation!"
The killing aura vanished instantly from Man Wuji’s face as he became exceedingly gentle, "Big Brother above, please..."
Despite his doubt, deep in his heart, he had absolute trust in Bai Yue’er and would not doubt her words.
Back then, his life was given by Bai Yue’er.
Just as he was about to kneel down and bow, he was stopped by Bai Yue’er, "Wuji, don’t make trouble. He’s not your Big Brother. Your Big Brother is on that ring, just like me, only a weak war soul left. It must have clung to the ring after he died in battle. Who could have imagined that someone from the Bai Ze Clan brought him back? I regret it so much. If I hadn’t been furious back then and gone berserk in the Outer Domain, we wouldn’t have met for thousands of years."
"Sister, you need not blame yourself. Back then, if they wanted Big Brother to see you, they could have come to the Outer Domain. It’s not your fault." Man Wuji, seeing Bai Yue’er’s sadness, also had red-rimmed eyes.
Man Clan people, for the most part, do not shed tears their whole life. At the Supreme King Realm, such occurrences are even rarer.
Bai Yue’er shook her head, "In the God Demon War back then, the Supremes in the Four Extremes World nearly all perished. The Bai Ze Clan, once filled with countless Supremes, after that war, became thin in number. I was wrong, it’s all my fault!"
As she spoke, tears fell continuously.
Her body swayed as if she could hardly stand and was about to fall.
Chen Nan hurriedly supported her along with Man Wuji.
Man Wuji choked up, unsure what to say.
Thousands of years ago, he already knew Bai Yue’er was waiting for that person.
That kind of suffering, only he knew well. Back then, Bai Yue’er had no intention of breaking into a stronger world to pursue the Domain Lord Realm, but to find a method to seek her husband’s reincarnation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Realms.
Only because of that did she work so hard. He did not believe that her husband, as a Supreme Ancient, would just vanish into ashes.
"Senior, it’s not your fault, it’s just that the Heavenly Dao has toyed with us ants in its palm. Fate makes fools of us, but in the end, the Heavenly Dao couldn’t stop your desire to meet. This is your hard work, in some way, altering the Heavenly Dao. You need not feel guilty, it’s a result you should be happy about."
Chen Nan’s words left Bai Yue’er’s face still streaked with tears, yet her eyes showed a sense of happiness.
"The shackles of the Heavenly Dao, he once also said, if not for that God Demon war, we could have defied heaven together, tread upon the heavens..."
Seeing Bai Yue’er’s attitude softening, Chen Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, his heart grew even more curious about that Supreme Ancient.
The foresight of that person was no less than that of the Patriarch.
If he hadn’t died on the God Demon Battlefield, one could hardly imagine what the Four Extremes World would look like with him alive today.
The Bai Ze Clan was once flourishing, with countless Supremes. In the God Demon War, they nearly all perished. The ancestors paid no less a price to fend off the God Demons than they do today.
"All of you leave, please. I want to be alone with my husband. The war soul on the ring is already extremely weak. This is our last moment together."
Bai Yue’er waved her hand, ushering Chen Nan and the others out.
Man Wuji also followed Chen Nan and the others out of the main burial chamber.
As they exited, they saw the woman who had lived for thousands of years, her tears seemed like a flood breaking a dam. After so many years... waiting for so long, finally, there was a result.
As soon as Chen Nan and his companions came out, Man Wuji’s hand rested on Chen Nan’s shoulder.
Ye Yiyi and Su Qingqing moved, one conjured the Silver Bell Rope, and the other conjured the White Jade Lotus Platform.
They watched Man Wuji closely, ready to fight if he made a move.
"Hehehe, relax. You’ve helped my Sister Bai so much. I, Man Wuji, have nothing to thank you with but to help heal your injuries." Man Wuji transmitted streams of divine power.
With the strength of one person, he helped Chen Nan and the others heal their injuries.
