Life and vitality descended upon the land.
The bloodstains that had once stained the village began to vanish, and even the corpses gradually turned into faint glimmers. The light flew toward the houses and reassembled into people.
The young boy in Tian Chen’s arms also came alive. His body dissolved and reformed.
When he reappeared, he was still in Tian Chen’s arms, but he had regained his breath. What was once dead was alive once again.
Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh. Today wasn’t the eighth day. It was the first day.
The meat in the courtyard had returned to freshness, and the vegetables planted in the ground were teeming with life.
‘So, that’s why she wouldn’t let me eat it.’ Everything here ultimately decayed.
Tian Chen carried the child back into the house. Jiang Hao didn’t rush. He made tea for Hong Yuye instead.
During this time, he checked the seal and found that the distorted figure had not disappeared. It seemed to have separated into something else. He wasn’t sure if this was good or bad.
After a while, Tian Chen came out of the house. “Smiling San Sheng?”
“You know me?” Jiang Hao said.
“The Island Master mentioned you. He said you killed the chief guard.” Tian Chen stared at Jiang Hao.
“And… you think I didn’t?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile. “It doesn’t seem like it,” Tian Chen said honestly.
“Indeed, I didn’t.” Jiang Hao shrugged.
“Then, who did it?”
“She did.” Jiang Hao glanced at Hong Yuye. She looked at him mockingly.
Jiang Hao was speechless.
He performed his role too well, and he was getting carried away.
Tian Chen felt that this person was just playing with him. The woman in front of him was the least likely person to have killed the chief guard.
“What is your purpose for coming here?” he asked.
“To find your son and have a conversation with you through him,” Jiang Hao said honestly.
“And then?”
“Then… I was planning to do what you saw me do. Kill him.”
Tian Chen lowered his head. Finally, he sighed. ‘What do you want to know?”
He could understand some things better than the person in front of him, and he knew the meaning behind that single strike.
“Do you know about the stone tablets?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I do.” Tian Chen nodded. “The End of All Things once gave several of those to the Great Thousand God Sect. I’m not sure of their exact use.” “Wasn’t it you who provided them?” Jiang Hao asked.
“No. It wasn’t me,” Tian Chen shook his head. “It’s said that these things are extraordinary. Given my cultivation realm, just knowing about them is already good enough.”
“I thought it was you who handled them.” Jiang Hao chuckled.
“More or less. But I don’t know who created them,” Tian Chen said.
“I heard you were very interested in the southern region,” Jiang Hao said.
“The southern region?” Tian Chen shook his head. “I’m only interested in certain individuals in the southern region.”
“Certain individuals?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.
“Yes, some scums who call themselves the immortal sects,” Tian Chen said bitterly.
“The ones who killed your family?”
‘Yes.”
“Are you interested in the Heavenly Note Sect?”
“The Heavenly Note Sect?”
Tian Chen looked puzzled. Jiang Hao furrowed his brows. After all, Feng Hua had said that Tian Chen was particularly interested in the Heavenly Note Sect.
Moreover, many of their tasks were related to the Heavenly Note Sect.
“Yes. It’s a remote sect in the southern region.” Jiang Hao nodded.
“Indeed, the End of All Things did have some interest in this sect. However, it’s not really us, The End of All Things, who are particularly interested in that sect. It’s the Great Thousand God Sect,” said Tian Chen. “The person who brought me into The End of All Things mentioned that the Great Thousand God Sect is not as simple as it appears to be. They must be planning something big.”
“The Great Thousand God Sect is interested in the Heavenly Note Sect?” Jiang Hao felt like he was being played.
He had gone from the Great Thousand God Sect to The End of All Things, and now, he was circling back to the Great Thousand God Sect once again.
“Yes. There’s someone who’s particularly interested in that sect.”
“Who?”
“The Great Thousand God Sect’s Feng Hua.”
Jiang Hao was at a loss.
“If I’m not mistaken, the task of taking up the stone tablets by The End of All Things was assigned by Feng Hua.”
Jiang Hao remained silent for a long time. “Are they targeting particular objects or regions or something?”
“I don’t know,” Tian Chen shook his head.
“Do you know who was in contact with Feng Hua?” Jiang Hao asked. Tian Chen didn’t hesitate. “One of the Twelve Heaven Kings. King Taomu Xiu.” “Taomu Xiu?” Jiang Hao frowned. Then, he took out a book.
As expected, he found the information there. “One of the Twelve Heaven Kings,
Taomu Xiu, is most likely one of the core members of The End of All Things.”
This information was quite accurate. It was provided by Senior Dan Yuan, and Jiang Hao had jotted it down.
He continued reading the next sentence. “It is rumored that a core member of The End of All Things entered the depths of the sea fog and has not returned. Is that true?”
“I’m not sure about that, but it is true that The End of All Things is without a leader right now. This information was given to me by the one who brought me into The End of All Things,” Tian Chen said.
Jiang Hao nodded and put the book away. “What kind of person is Feng Hua?”
Tian Chen thought for a long time. “He has countless avatars. It’s difficult to find his true body. He is very adept at manipulating people.”
“Oh?” Jiang Hao was quite surprised. “What’s his cultivation realm?”
Tian Chen furrowed his brows. “All sources indicate that Feng Hua isn’t very powerful. At most, he might be in the early stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform. So, it’s certain that he’s adept at hiding himself. However, he must be a dangerous person. Anyone who can directly meet the Heaven King indicates that they’re not that simple.”
Jiang Hao nodded and found that Tian Chen was very cooperative and easy to talk to, which was different from what he had expected. He thought it would be difficult to obtain information from him.
But he was answering every question without hesitation. He was even more cooperative than King Hai Luo.
It made Jiang Hao wonder whether Tian Chen was lying to him or had some kind of hidden agenda. Unfortunately, he couldn’t appraise him here.
“Do you want to know anything else?” Tian Chen asked.
Jiang Hao was speechless. The person was willing to answer even more questions.
“Tell me about the Seven-Day Village.” Jiang Hao raised his head. “Do you know what just caused this place to recover?”
“I don’t know.” Tian Chen shook his head. “Someone told me that this place is beyond my comprehension and there’s no need to try to understand it.”
‘It seems that he doesn’t know that a real dragon is present here.’ Jiang Hao had sensed the aura of a real dragon and even vaguely saw its form.
“Have you ever considered… letting it go?” Jiang Hao suddenly asked.
Tian Chen looked sorrowful for a moment. Then, he shook his head. He didn’t give a reason or elaborate on it.
“Is there any other hope?” Jiang Hao asked.
Tian Chen fell silent. “Perhaps when I become stronger, there might be.”
Tian Chen was consoling himself. Jiang Hao understood what he meant by those words..
