(3/3, w updates) [Yes, Father.]
On the other side, a beautiful child with golden hair also opened his eyes, and the pale blue Spirit Energy Halo flickered in Moqiu’s pupils.
He seemed a bit nervous, but still spoke earnestly, “As long as the data…
as long as the flesh and blood data are accurate enough, and the raw materials suitable enough, I can create a real body for ‘Big Brother’.”
Linda said softly, a Crystal Skull sat atop the little girl’s head, and a purplish-red light swirled in her pretty eyes: [I can help Big Brother Yila anchor—I can activate the power of the Crystal Skull, merging our souls and memories into an ‘Echo’, becoming one with Big Brother.]
[Together as one!][Together as one!]
The children all cheered, their eyes bright with sheer joy and euphoria.
In contrast was the increasingly pale face of Baron Leyan.
The storm raged with lightning splitting the sky above the Bison Mountain Range, and pale purple lightning struck the summit of Solitary Flame Peak, another cluster of flame-like light burning continuously atop the mountain.
The man wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say, and by the time he mustered all his strength to speak, he felt an intense regret.
He said, “If you don’t wish to.”
“This is your last chance to back out.”
After speaking those words, Baron Leyan felt like punching himself, as if giving up on years of hard work, but at that moment, he also felt an indescribable sense of release.
This conflicted feeling made him want to kill himself but also made him feel disgustingly hypocritical.
So, he found himself able to smile, looking at the children before him: “If you want to give up on this plan, I’ll go turn myself in.”
“Then you all could keep on living.”
All the children looked up, directing their gaze at their ‘dad’ and ‘father’.
Three pairs of eyes glittering with light stared at the man.
Powerful Spirit Energy Fluctuations clashed and surged, instantly causing Baron Leyan, a Second Energy Level individual, to bleed from his nose, his figure shaking violently.
This was, of course, because he made no attempt to resist, but it also proved just how strong the children’s Spirit Energy was.
[Sorry, Father, I didn’t want to hurt you…]
Realizing this, the children panicked.
Yila reached out a hand, pressing it against the crystal wall of the Cultivation Chamber, as if to wipe the blood streaming from Leyan’s nose.
He said anxiously: [But Father, why do you want us to give up… Didn’t we agree?]
[We were meant to die together today…] he said, revealing a joyous smile: [We will become Big Brother’s memories, Big Brother’s flesh and blood, Big Brother’s soul…]
[And then, together become your true children, Dad!]
The boy’s voice carried a joyous tune, almost like a song, and Linda and Moqiu also echoed with a smile: [Yes, yes, that’s our wish!]
Powerful Spirit Energy Fluctuations flickered in the rain, causing the surrounding rain curtains to glow.
That was the children’s peculiarly unstable, fragile yet exceptionally strong Spirit Energy.
And as this Spirit Energy converged, in the center of the Cultivation Chamber, the Spiritual Body formed from everyone’s yearning and aspiration also couldn’t help but feel exhilarated.
The boy with brown hair declared aloud: [I don’t want to live on as Yila anymore.]
The boy with golden hair murmured to himself: [I don’t want to live on as Moqiu either.]
The girl with blue hair softly recited: [I, I don’t want to, live on as Linda either.]
The three spoke in unison: [Father, if we are not your children, why should we live on?]
Even the rain was twisted by the powerful Spirit Energy, swirling around the camp in a skewed manner, emitting otherworldly light.
At that moment, Baron Leyan clenched his right fist.
His face regained its color, showing a somewhat morbid, crazed, yet resolute expression: “Then.”
His blue eyes swept across the four Cultivation Chambers, earnestly inviting: “Children.”
become my true children!”
And so, the children cheered.
[As we desire, Father]
In the center of the three Cultivation Chambers, the murkiest, which held the most nourishment, and in which rested the Baron’s hand with a pale blue Spiritual Body, suddenly burst into light.
Beneath Moqiu’s blue Spirit Energy Radiance, the Baron’s arm began to grow wildly, transforming, and the fresh blood, well preserved in a bottle he clenched in his severed hand, spilled out, mixing with the Spiritual Body and the arm.
—The bones of the Father, the blood of the Mother.
—The souls of brothers, the longing of sisters.
—The Lost Souls that never faded will be returned to the world!
Purplish-red and golden-orange light interweaved, the bright glow illuminating the surrounding canyon, reaching even the rain clouds above in the firmament.
A lightning bolt tore through the night sky, illuminating the vicinity of Solitary Flame Peak, and at the same time, it elongated the shadow of another newcomer beyond the valley.
Baron Leyan immediately turned his head, looking at the uninvited guest.
Standing quietly there in Silver Alchemist Armor was a Knight, standing tall against the storm and thunder, his aqua eyes locked with the Baron’s blue eyes from afar.
The torrential downpour was like a curtain, lightning and thunder roaring above the valley, but not a single bolt could strike the valley nestled among the mountains.
