I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 292 Old Friends Return, Ancient God (23)

"It's my fault for not protecting them..."

The woman… or rather Qinghe’s sobbing was moving, but now she could no longer shed a single tear.

Because in order to save Qinghe's life, Ling Guzi's modifications to her were not simply about giving her a mechanical lung and some mechanical prosthetics.

Actually, what Seven Brother said before was correct.

Qinghe is now essentially half a bronze beast, a bronze beast with flesh and blood.

The only difference between her and those bronze beasts is that Qinghe still retains her own will.

However, common biological traits such as tears and fatigue have gradually disappeared from her.

"You've done a great job, no one will blame you."

As he walked step by step to Qinghe's side, Qiwa, for once, learned to comfort others.

Judging from the huge stitches on Qinghe's body, it wasn't hard for Qiwa to guess how he had struggled back from the brink of death.

For someone who escaped death and even became inhuman as a result.

Any criticism of her is a sign of distrust and disrespect.

Seventh Brother may have low emotional intelligence, but he is not a bad person, so he would never do something like kicking someone when they're down.

"It really was my fault."

She slowly turned her eyes, and Qinghe's indifferent expression was full of contradictions with her current sadness.

"If I were willing to create talisman emitters, if I were willing to introduce bronze beasts..."

“My village wouldn’t have ended up like this, with everyone except me missing and their fate unknown.”

Upon hearing this, Seven immediately understood the source of the other person's self-blame.

Although since four or five years ago, when the Luoshu gradually became more popular, the mountain people have become accustomed to the bronze beasts that can be seen everywhere, and to those "iron pipes" that can launch talismans.

However, some villages ultimately reject these new things because of tradition and faith.

It is obvious that the village where the blue crane, the most devout follower of the kingfisher, lives is such an outlier in the new era.

Since no talisman emitters were manufactured, ordinary talismans could not harm spirits or deities at all.

Because they refused to use the bronze beast, Qinghe's village could only watch helplessly as the enemy caught up with them during their final escape.

"As Bu Ku'er said, everyone makes mistakes."

"As long as we don't repeat the same mistake, we will grow from each mistake."

After a long silence, Seventh Brother, who wasn't good at comforting people, could only say this.

Seventh Sister refused to lie to Qinghe, saying that this had nothing to do with her.

So, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could only find the most suitable sentence for the current situation from some of the things Li Boyang had said before.

"The mistake I made... came at a very high price."

The thought of those villagers who lived and worked alongside him dying without even a complete body being found was unbearable.

The thought that just a few days ago, the children who were surrounding me, full of hope for the future, were either swept away by the waves or swallowed by sea monsters and sea monsters is unbearable.

Qinghe was overwhelmed with grief and regret, and couldn't recover for a while.

"Then let's go get our revenge!"

Suddenly, Seventh Brother's words diverted Qinghe's attention.

"If you really can't find a reason to live, then turn all the motivation for the rest of your life into revenge!"

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, that's the lesson I learned from Bukuer."

He stared blankly at Qiwa's serious face.

Qinghe remained silent for a long time, but his previously lifeless heart began to stir again.

"Can I...do it?"

Faced with Qinghe's question, Qiwa simply replied with unwavering certainty.

"Whether you can do it and whether you're willing to do it are two different things. Don't you want to avenge your family?"

Meanwhile, outside Lijia Village.

Following closely behind Li Boyang, Xi Luo was very curious about who this "old friend" he mentioned was.

After all, Xi Luo had watched Li Boyang grow up, and she knew all about the people he had met or known.

Xi Luo couldn't figure out which "old friend" would appear at this time and bring important intelligence about the South China Sea.

"If it's raining... could it be..."

Just as Xi Luo opened her eyes wide, looking incredulous.

The raindrops in the sky suddenly coalesced into a physical form, and an elderly man with white hair and beard appeared in her field of vision.

Although the old man was dressed in animal skins, he appeared to be exceptionally robust.

As he slowly walked out of the rain.

The previously gloomy and rainy weather instantly cleared up, as if it had never rained here at all.

"It really is you! Rain Master?"

Smiling, Yu Shi waved to Xi Luo before turning his gaze to Li Boyang, who was closer to him.

"It's been a long time, Li Boyang."

Li Boyang looked at Yu Shi with a hint of surprise before speaking after a long while.

"I never expected that you would make such great progress in just a few years."

"You can transform yourself into rain, and arrive instantly wherever rain falls; this is the power of a god."

"However, while you became a god, you actually retained your physical body..."

"No, it's not just about preserving the body..."

"Even if it's just an avatar, I can still feel the immense life force within you."

Nodding in affirmation of Li Boyang's statement, Yu Shi continued with a smile.

“You once told me that only what is most suitable for me is the best, and now this path is the most suitable path for me.”

"The only regret is that I ultimately failed to cultivate my primordial spirit using that 'perception method,' and thus I was unable to personally experience the mysteries of the primordial spirit."

Despite saying this, judging from Yu Shi's expression, he clearly did not regret his choice.

"There are three thousand great paths, but the one I walk is not the only righteous path, and the primordial spirit is not something that is absolutely necessary."

"On the contrary, I'm quite curious now about how you managed to do this."

Faced with Li Boyang's curiosity, Yu Shi made no attempt to hide or conceal anything.

"Because I am now both the Rain Master Shangyang and the Eye of the North Sea."

"I've come here specifically to tell you how to quell this catastrophe."

Looking at the Heavenly Fate Bone Armor facing up in his palm, Li Boyang merely raised an eyebrow slightly, but he already understood.

"The Eye of the North Sea?"

"Your experiences over the past few years seem quite legendary!"

"Among those beings I glimpsed in that fleeting moment, was one of you?"

Yu Shi did not deny this, but instead stared intently at Li Boyang.

"That's right, although Wu Yi has stepped into the realm of a Great God, and is attempting to recreate the order of heaven and earth using unprecedented methods..."

"But not everyone approves of his actions."

"Especially those ancient gods who were already close to the realm of great gods."
