Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 294 Farewell...the Great Sage!
It hurts, as if being pricked by thousands of needles.

Qiangu Qitian showed pain on his face and his eyes slowly opened a crack.

The glaring light made his vision a little blurred. It took him a long time to adapt before he could see the blue sky clearly.

At this moment, he was being gently lifted up by the sea water. He turned his head and saw Leng Yulai lying quietly beside him.

This is...what happened?
Qiangu Qitian's mind was still a little confused. He always felt that he had been unconscious for a long time.

He only remembered that he had planned to take his teacher with him to perform the deification ceremony.

But after being reminded by the teacher, Qiangu Qitian realized that Leng Yulai was in a bad mood, so he came here.

With his comfort, Leng Yulai quickly confided her inner thoughts to him.

Leng Yulai was full of confusion about their future.

So, Qiangu Qitian used the power of the time element, and the two of them traveled to the future.

But during this process, an accident occurred and they seemed to be caught in the turbulence of time and space.

Constantly traveling between the past and future of the Douluo Continent.

Qiangu Qitian could no longer remember many scenes. The only two he remembered were the scene of the battle between two gods at Jialing Pass more than 20,000 years ago and the scene in the future when he faced twelve top powerhouses alone.

later……

hiss~
No matter how hard Qiangu Qitian tried to think about it, he could not remember what happened afterwards.

He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have fainted...

"Mmm~ It hurts~"

Hearing the moans beside him, Qiangu Qitian hurriedly hugged Leng Yulai into his arms.

Because he was close to Qiangu Qitian, Leng Yulai was not wet by the sea water.

Her expression was equally painful. She slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Qiangu Qitian's concerned face, she also smiled sweetly: "Xiaotian~"

"Yulai, I'm glad you're okay."

Qiangu Qitian reached out and tidied up Leng Yulai's hair, feeling inexplicably relieved.

For some reason, he had the illusion that he almost lost the other person.

"Xiaotian, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Next time, I won't be so willful again."

Leng Yulai was filled with guilt.

If it weren't for her sentimentality, Qiangu Qitian would not have accompanied her to take such a big risk this time.

After the thread of their fate changed, both of them had forgotten what had happened.

Or perhaps, it was something that never existed.

Although that incident brought great trouble to Leng Yulai, for the thread of fate, even if it changed, it was just a trivial matter.

Because there are only five people involved in this matter (Qiangu Qitian, Leng Yaozhu, Leng Yulai, Yali and Yun Ming).

"No need to say sorry." Qiangu Qitian said gently.

He hugged Leng Yulai into his arms, and Leng Yulai also hugged Qiangu Qitian.

The two hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's warmth and breath.

"Okay, you two little ones, there will be plenty of time for cuddles later."

A familiar voice sounded, and Qiangu Qitian immediately opened his eyes and saw the shadow of the Monkey King floating not far in front of him.

"Great Sage!"

Qiangu Qitian's tone was somewhat excited. When he first encountered the turbulence of time and space, Qiangu Qitian had called out to the Great Sage, but he received no response.

It can be said that it was the first time that Qiangu Qitian felt helpless since his martial soul awakened.

Leng Yulai looked at the Monkey King with curiosity. She had long known that there was such an elder who was like a protector in the Monkey King.

But this was the first time she saw the true appearance of the Monkey King.

Leng Yulai was still very surprised after discovering that the Great Sage was actually a "soul beast".

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

This person could only be a god.

Leng Yulai wanted to stand up and salute this senior.

But Qiangu Qitian seemed to know what Leng Yulai was going to do, and said with a smile: "Yulai, there's no need to be so polite, just say hello to the Great Sage."

Leng Yulai was held like this by Qiangu Qitian, and said shyly: "Senior Great Sage."

Leng Yulai didn’t know the Great Sage’s real name, so he could only use the strange title of “Senior Great Sage”.

"Haha, girls are still polite. You little guy, you have been getting less and less polite to me lately."

After praising Leng Yulai, the Monkey King did not forget to "criticize" Qiangu Qitian.

In fact, it's more of a joke.

Qiangu Qitian didn't care. With the support of the sea water, he and Leng Yulai stood up together.

He replied with a grin, "Great Sage, I have a good eye."

With the Great Sage around, Qiangu Qitian's heart gradually relaxed, as if he had found his backbone.

During the time when the Great Sage fell into a deep sleep, Qiangu Qitian was walking on thin ice. Both his character and soul power grew rapidly.

After the Great Sage awakened, Qiangu Qitian still did not relax in his cultivation.

However, his state of mind has been stagnant for many years.

No matter what Qiangu Qitian does, the Great Sage will support him. He only needs to follow his own heart and do what he wants.

Looking at the laughing Qiangu Qitian, a hint of reluctance flashed across the Monkey King's eyes, but it quickly turned into relief.

He also replied with a smile: "Little kid, you have so many people around you now, you shouldn't feel lonely anymore."

"Won't……"

Qiangu Qitian's voice suddenly weakened, and he seemed to have sensed something.

"Great Sage, you..."

The Great Sage continued to smile: "What a clever child! I have sensed your call when you were in danger this time, but I did not show up. Now that I have said this, I believe you should understand why I did not show up."

The Eternal Heavenly Sage just looked at the Monkey King silently, looking at this predecessor who walked from mythology into his reality.

He had also predicted that the Great Sage would disappear one day.

But I didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Qiangu Qitian, who had noticed this, also discovered that the Great Sage's body looked a lot more blurred than usual, and was almost transparent under the sunlight.

Leng Yulai also heard it at this time. This senior seemed to be saying his final farewell to Qiangu Qitian.

She wanted to hold Qiangu Qitian's hand and give him some comfort.

But when her fingertips touched the back of Qiangu Qitian's hand, she found that Qiangu Qitian's hand was trembling!
Leng Yulai held Qiangu Qitian's hand without hesitation, interlocking their fingers. She wanted to pass on her power to Qiangu Qitian.

Qiangu Qitian moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but he felt that his voice was stuck in his throat and no matter what he did, he couldn't make a sound.

"It is fate that this remnant soul of mine met you. To be honest, I am a little reluctant to let you go. Watching you grow up little by little, and gradually seeing many people who love you around you, and watching you gradually walk out of the haze in your heart, I am also very relieved."

"But, child, all good things must come to an end. My remaining soul is on the verge of dissipating..."

The Monkey King slowly came down from the sky to the front of the Eternal Monkey King. He was not tall, and could even be said to be thin.

But body size never determines how strong a person is.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Qiangu Qitian's head, but his palm passed through the top of Qiangu Qitian's head.

The Great Sage gave a bitter smile: Are you already so weak...

Qiangu Qitian seemed to sense something. He looked up at the residual soul of the Monkey King, and then slowly moved his head forward, as if feeling the touch of this kind elder.

"Good boy, you must take good care of yourself after I leave. I have left all my remaining strength in your body. What will disappear is only my consciousness, but you are still full of infinite possibilities."

The statue of the Great Sage is a senior who is about to leave, giving earnest teachings to the younger one, Qiangu Qitian.

"Your future is still full of challenges. Don't be complacent just because you have seen a glimpse of the future. The future is changing all the time, and what you see may have already changed."

Having said this, the Great Sage’s spirit seemed to become even more illusory.

He still smiled and stretched out his other hand towards Qiangu Qitian.

In the palms of his hands were two golden balls of light.

Qiangu Qitian looked at the hand extended by the Monkey King, with a hint of confusion in his moist eyes.

The Great Sage explained, "These are the souls of your biological parents. I originally wanted to wait until you had the strength to revive them before handing them over to you, but now I have to leave and can no longer keep them for you."

"The divine object that your second dragon soul fused with will only show one tenth of its original strength when you ascend to the god level, but by then, it will be enough to revive your parents."

"Then Great Sage, can I still come to you in the future?"

Qiangu Qitian's voice was tearful, but the tears in his eyes never fell.

"Perhaps." The Great Sage gave an uncertain answer, "My original body has long been shattered and scattered across various worlds. This is just one of them. But what is certain is that there are no other fragments of my consciousness in this universe."

"But even if you find another fragment of consciousness, it is not the current 'I', but a brand new Monkey King, who does not recognize you..."

Qiangu Qitian said firmly: "I will go find you! I will collect the fragments of your consciousness bit by bit and revive you!"

"Fool." The Monkey King shook his head helplessly, "If you want, go ahead. But remember, you have your own family. Don't let down the people around you because of a dead person like me."

"That's all. Let's say goodbye... Goodbye, baby..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Sage's spiritual body began to emit brilliant golden light, directly turning the entire sea area into a golden ocean.

His spirit began to disintegrate bit by bit from his feet, turning into specks of golden light and gradually dissipating between heaven and earth.

Qiangu Qitian bent his knees and knelt in front of the gradually disappearing Monkey King. He put his hands in front of him and kowtowed suddenly.

He could no longer control the tears in his eyes and they flowed down like a dam breaking.

Qiangu Qitian sobbed:
"Farewell... Great Sage."

Leng Yulai, who was standing by, knelt down after Qiangu Qitian knelt down.

She also said goodbye to the Great Sage: "Farewell, Great Sage."

Soon, Qiangu Qitian could no longer control his emotions, and his soft sobbing soon turned into loud crying.

In front of the Monkey King, Qiangu Qitian still looks like a child who has not grown up.

Leng Yulai also had tears in her eyes. Although she didn't understand the Great Sage, she could feel Qiangu Qitian's sadness, and she also felt the same sorrow.

She gently stroked Qiangu Qitian's back, wanting to say something to comfort him, but she couldn't utter a word.

A figure slowly landed on the other side of Qiangu Qitian. It was Leng Yaozhu.

She also saw the scene where the Great Sage's soul returned to heaven and earth.

Seeing her sister, Leng Yulai seemed to have found her backbone. She looked at Leng Yaozhu with tears in her eyes: "Sister..."

Without waiting for Leng Yulai to finish his words, Leng Yaozhu placed her index finger on her lips and made a gesture of silence.

Leng Yulai quickly stopped talking.

Leng Yaozhu slowly squatted down, also without saying anything, but just silently stroked Qiangu Qitian's back.

All words of comfort are superfluous at this moment.

Choosing to accompany silently is the best option.

In the sky, the two golden souls of Qiangu Qitian’s biological parents floated there quietly, as if silently accompanying their children.

While Qiangu Qitian was feeling sad, a small accident also occurred at Shrek Academy on the other side.

In the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, next to Poseidon Island.

As usual, Yali sat in the pavilion, quietly looking at the lake in front of her.

The breeze blew her hair and played with the corners of her clothes. In the past, whenever she was upset, she would just sit here and her bad mood would improve a lot.

But this time, for some reason, the breeze did not relieve Yali's mood at all, but made her even more depressed.

She always felt like she had lost something.

Ever since she decided to keep her distance from Qiangu Qitian last time, she would feel this way from time to time.

But this time, it seems to be very different from the past.

Under the repeated intimidation from the old guys in Poseidon Pavilion, the affection between Yali and Yun Ming had long been exhausted.

She was once the happiest woman in the world in the eyes of the world, but ever since Yali discovered that in Yun Ming's heart, her feelings were not as important as a few words from the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, her passionate heart that loved Yun Ming had gradually cooled.

The reason why she stayed away from Qiangu Qitian was simply that she didn't want to make things completely extreme.

Yali is a kind person. She doesn't want to hurt any innocent person, let alone Yun Ming, the person she once loved deeply.

"What on earth is wrong with me..."

Yali put her hands over her chest. She didn't know when the stuffiness there had turned into pain!
The person who was most affected by the aftermath of the timeline change was Yali!

Qiangu Qitian no longer felt any gratitude towards her for saving his life, and their first meeting was just a dull one of apprenticeship.

Not only that, the conclusion of the timeline caused great twists and turns in Yali's feelings towards Qiangu Qitian!

Even though the timeline has been smoothed out by the Great Sage with his extraordinary means, Yali's feelings still transcend the power of the timeline!

Leng Yulai was not affected by anything because she was willing to forget.

However, the first meeting between Yali and Qiangu Qitian was an extremely precious memory for her.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Yali didn't dare to think about it anymore. She went back to her room, lay down, and decided to have a good rest.

Maybe when you wake up, everything will be better.

Yes, she will completely forget and accept the established facts.
