Chapter 116.2
An explosion?
He lost all consciousness in an instant.
â¦But wait a minute! Whatâs with that film flashback? That was too inauspicious!
Who said he must die? He had already died once, so he shouldnât have died so quickly for a second time, right?
And what happened âbefore deathâ? He knew he wouldnât die!
â¦
âQiuqiu!â
âQiuqiu! Wake up!â
Xiao Tangqiu opened his eyes instantly, and Tang Mianmianâs familiar face came into view.
ââ¦Why is it you again?â
Tang Mianmian originally had a look of joy, and when he heard Xiao Tangqiuâs words, he suddenly snorted, âWhatâs the matter with âme againâ? Itâs you! Why did you faint again!â
âI fainted? Yes, I fainted⦠Why did I faint? It seems like something exploded?â
Xiao Tangqiuâs mind was a mess and it took a long time to remember what happened before he fainted.
âYes, it was an explosion! You just rushed into the demonic flower and then you both exploded with a boom!â Tang Mianmian described vividly.
Xiao Tangqiu, ââ¦I also exploded? Then why am I okay now?â
Tang Mianmian looked excited, âGuess!â
Xiao Tangqiu froze for a moment, then his eyes widened in disbelief, ââ¦No way?â
âYes! You guessed it!â Tang Mianmian jumped up to reveal the person who was standing behind him.
Xiao Tangqiu stared at the person in front of him blankly. After a while, he moved his lips, ââ¦Shen Yuan?â His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that he would break the illusion in front of him if he spoke any louder.
Shen Yuan stood in front of him, looking at him deeply.
âThatâs impossible!â Xiao Tangqiu shook his head subconsciously, âI must still be asleepk2026; No, I must be deadk2026;â
Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Tangqiu deeply and he suddenly smiled, âItâs me.â
Xiao Tangqiu was completely dumbfounded, âHow is this possible? This is impossiblek2026;â
He clearly had the idea of dying along with the demonic flower. After all, based on his luck, he was really not sure about being able to find the demon flowerâs weakness before he died.
Why was it that right now, not only was he not dead, but Shen Yuan was also back?
How was this possible?
He had been so unlucky for twenty-five years⦠How could his luck suddenly explode at this kind of time?
Xiao Tangqiu was completely stunned until Shen Yuan smiled helplessly and slowly said, âActually, I didnât figure out what was going on at first⦠I was already dead, how can I come back to life again? But after listening to what they said, I think I understand whatâs going on.â
Xiao Tangqiu echoed, âWhatâs going on?â
Shen Yuan said lightly, âThe
Book of Light,
I have also seen it before⦠If I am not mistaken, the heart of the G.o.d of Light can indeed resurrect people who have died, but this resurrection is conditional.â
âWhatâs the condition? It canât be a life for a life? Sacrificing someone elseâs life to resurrect the person you want to resurrect?â Xiao Tangqiu frowned.
âOf course not. If it is this method of resurrection, whatâs the difference between the G.o.d of Light and those demons?â Shen Yuan shook his head and continued, âThe
Book of Light
that I read says that only someone with a pure and courageous heart, with a spirit of self-sacrifice and desperation, can withstand the test of the G.o.d of Light and resurrect those who they want to resurrect.â
âA person with a pure and courageous heart?â Xiao Tangqiu didnât react for a while, and then silently pointed to his nose after a long time, ââ¦Me?â
Shen Yuan, âI believe that the
Book of Light
that Bai Yushan got should be fake, or it has been tampered with. Only the content related to the demonic flower is true and everything else is wrong.â
âThe Abyss Demon planted the demonic flower on the G.o.d of Lightâs heart, trying to consume the power of the G.o.d of Light. For so many years, the heart has been polluted by a large amount of demonic energy and has fallen into a state of chaos. Bai Yushan tried to revive Bai Yuru with the same sacrifice method as demons is of course impossible, but your act just purified the G.o.d of Lightâs heart⦠So I was successfully resurrected.â
Xiao Tangqiu blankly stared at Shen Yuan for a long time before speaking, âAre you really alive again?â
âOf course itâs true,â Shen Yuan took a step forward, grabbed Xiao Tangqiuâs hand and placed it on his face, âSee, I am warm. This is not your imagination.â
Xiao Tangqiu felt the warmth on his fingertips. He stared at Shen Yuanâs face blankly, and reluctantly blinked, âItâs really real⦠Youâre really alive againâ¦â
âOkay! Thatâs enough! Donât waste any more time!â Duan Hongzhen finally couldnât bare it and interrupted their mutual staring by taking a step forward, ââ¦Although I know that the captainâs resurrection is a happy event, I beg you, the most important thing is to escape from this instance right now. There will be no time! If we canât leave here before the time limit, we will all be wiped out!â
Xiao Tangqiu immediately came back to himself. They were still in the instance! They must escape quickly!
Shen Yuan thought aloud, âIf Iâm not mistaken, the demonic flowerâs s.p.a.cial pa.s.sage should be at the top of the Sacred Tree that it parasitizes. Letâs climb it!â
Xiao Tangqiu nodded without hesitation, âGo! To the top of the tree!â
A large group of islanders was still surrounding the Sacred Tree. When they saw Xiao Tangqiu coming out of the tree hole, the people underneath immediately threw stones in anger again.
âDonât worry about them! Letâs climb!â
Xiao Tangqiu took out his mountaineering equipment, pulled the rope tight and quickly climbed to the top of the tree.
As they climbed higher and higher, the stones could no longer reach them. But before Xiao Tangqiu could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that the Sacred Tree they were climbing began to become transparentâ¦
The Sacred Tree was about to disappear!
The Sacred Tree only appeared in the evening. Once the islanders finish gathering their food, the Sacred Tree would soon vanis.h.!.+
âThereâs almost no time! Hurry up!â Xiao Tangqiu urged loudly.
Everyone immediately accelerated their climbing speed, and finally, they successfully climbed to the top of the tree.
At this moment, the Sacred Tree began to disappear. Everything gradually became transparent starting from the bottom roots of the tree to the top. The few newbies who remained below wanted to climb up, but they only climbed a few steps before falling back down to the ground because of the Sacred Treeâs disappearance. They could only desperately and unwillingly shout.
As soon as Xiao Tangqiuâs group climbed to the top of the Sacred Tree, the entire Sacred Tree disappeared.
Xiao Tangqiu originally thought they would fall, but he suddenly heard a familiar system sound in their earsâ
âCongratulations, dear players, for completing the D-level mission [Eternal Revival Island], the mission goal [Escape from Revival Island] is achieved, the time limit is 1 day, the player receives 500 pointsâ¦
âThe mission is complete, leaving the instance soonâ¦â
They finally managed to escape!
When Xiao Tangqiu opened his eyes again, it was to the familiar transfer cabin. He couldnât wait to open the transfer cabin and climb out, planning to find Shen Yuan first thing. But the next second, he met Shen Yuanâs eyes.
Shen Yuan was really back!
Xiao Tangqiu didnât have a real feeling of âShen Yuan came backâ before. Until this moment, he finally realized that Shen Yuan was back⦠Shen Yuan was really back!
He couldnât wait to rush towards Shen Yuan and hug him.
Shen Yuan paused, then returned a deep hug.
The two held each other for a long time. It took a long time before Xiao Tangqiu raised his head and asked Shen Yuan softly, âWhat on earth did you want to do at that time?â
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, âAt that time?â
âBefore you diedâ¦â Xiao Tangqiu took a deep look at Shen Yuan, imitating Shen Yuanâs move before he died, grabbed Shen Yuanâs fingers and touched the corners of his own mouth, âWhat did you want to do at that time⦠?â
Something seemed to flash across Shen Yuanâs eyes. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but right at this moment, a scream suddenly came.
âAhhhhhhh!â
After all the people of the Reincarnation Team climbed out of the transfer cabins, they quietly surrounded Xiao Tangqiu and Shen Yuan. They were motionless and quiet as chickens. No one disturbed them up until the screams rang out and they all moved to look towards the noise.
A person, no, itâs a group of people⦠They all scrambled towards the direction of the transfer cabins.
Everyone was wounded and bled all over the floor, looking very miserable. Nevertheless, they tried their best to run towards the transfer cabins.
Tang Mianmian cried out in disbelief, âf.u.c.k! What happened?â
In the next moment, they found out. There was a loud explosion from the Newbie Village nearby followed by countless screams.
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly saw a familiar figure from the crowd, and quickly grabbed the person, ââ¦Su Manluo?!â
The person in front of him who was miserably fleeing was clearly Su Manluo whom he had met a few times.
Su Manluo was about to shake off Xiao Tangqiuâs hand, but when she saw that it was Xiao Tangqiu, she gritted her teeth and shouted, âRun! The Abyss Demon has invaded the Abyss City! Run!â
âThe Abyss Demon invaded?â Xiao Tangqiu was stunned by the news, âRun? Run where?â
Su Manluo gritted her teeth, âOf course it is to go into the instances! The location of the City of the Abyss is fixed. Once it is invaded by demons, no one can escape. Now we can only run to the instance world for temporary refuge⦠The Abyss Demon went to Area S first and Area S is long gone. Other than those in the instance world, no one can escape. Heâs already in Newbie Village. If you donât escape now, youâll never be able to escape again! Hurry!â
