Reviving Ruthless's Brother, Fulfilling Her Obsession
The Ruthless Great Emperor almost stopped breathing.
Beneath that cracked, Ghost Face Mask, a pair of eyes that had once dimmed the hearts of all ages now stared intently at the man before him, as if trying to see through his very soul.
She thought she had lost all emotion and was no longer capable of feeling anything.
But when this man casually uttered the words, "It's just a matter of reaching out," for the first time, a ray of light shone into her tomb, which had been frozen for over two hundred thousand years, the cage that imprisoned her eternal years. It was a light she dared not hope for, yet desperately longed for.
She used all her strength to suppress her crumbling Dao Heart and squeezed out a few words from her hoarse throat.
"What would you like?"
Her voice was no longer cold or lonely, but carried an extreme tremor and humility that she herself was unaware of.
She was prepared to give everything.
Her Emperor Weapon, her Dao fruit, the accumulation of her nine lifetimes of living in reverse, even her life.
She would give up everything in this world without hesitation if it meant getting back that one and only obsession.
Because everything she has is because of him.
Qin Feng looked at her, at this woman of unparalleled talent who had lived a tragic life, and his smile remained gentle.
That smile contained no greed, no scheming, only a pure appreciation, as if looking at a fine work of art.
He slowly shook his head, his voice so gentle it was as if he didn't want to disturb this broken void.
My conditions are very simple.
"I have resurrected your brother..."
These six words were like a bolt of divine lightning, striking the deepest part of the Ruthless Great Emperor's soul, causing her delicate body to tremble violently and almost causing her to lose her balance.
He really can!
He made this promise so easily, a promise that even she herself couldn't have imagined!
Qin Feng ignored her lapse in composure and continued talking to himself.
"And you, you must take off your mask for me and smile at me just once."
"A genuine laugh from the heart."
What?
The Ruthless Great Emperor froze completely.
Her Emperor Heart, pounding wildly with the fervor of ultimate hope, seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand at this moment, abruptly stopping.
She envisioned countless possibilities.
She thought the other party would demand her Immortal Divine Medicine, covet her Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art, and demand her submission, to become a slave and servant, and to conquer the path to immortality.
She was even prepared for the other party to make some kind of evil request that would humiliate her and corrupt her Dao Heart.
But what she never expected was that the other party's condition would be... this.
laugh?
A genuine laugh?
For her, these three words were more difficult and more elusive than the imperial decree that required her to sacrifice herself.
She had forgotten how long it had been since she had laughed.
Two hundred thousand years? Or was it from that sunny afternoon, when the boy who saw her as his whole world placed a rough ring in her palm, that she never truly smiled again?
Her world had long since become nothing but cold darkness and endless obsession.
This condition is both extremely simple and extremely cruel.
It was like a mirror, clearly reflecting her sorrow and pitifulness at that moment.
Before the Ruthless could recover from his shock and confusion, Qin Feng had already lost his patience.
He doesn't like to waste time on such things.
He has already made his move.
Qin Feng casually reached forward with his right hand, which had just been supporting the River of Time.
His arm seemed to disregard the boundaries of space and dimension, easily reaching into a vast and ethereal realm that even the Spiritual Sense of an emperor could not touch.
That is the downstream of the River of Time, the end point where all things return to nothingness, and the core of the law of reincarnation.
His other hand gently pressed on a point in the void.
That point is where the cycle of reincarnation in this incomplete universe lies.
With his action, the laws of the entire Big Dipper Star Domain —no, the entire universe—seemed to be paused.
Then, they began to cheer and jubilantly, in an unprecedented manner, providing Qin Feng with the greatest convenience and assistance for his actions.
It was as if serving this being was the supreme honor for them as laws!
In the eyes of the Ruthless Great Emperor, which were completely filled with shock, she saw the most unbelievable and magnificent scene of her life.
Qin Feng's fingers gently moved across the void of the Sea of Reincarnation.
With each flick of the wrist, countless True Spirit Fragment are forcibly stripped from every corner of the universe, from the past and the future, from different dimensions of space and time, and converge toward his palm.
Those fragments were as faint as dust, as dim as lifeless stars.
Some of them may have reincarnated for thousands of lifetimes, transforming into plants, trees, fish, and insects; others may still be dormant in the intervals between reincarnations, waiting for the next beginning.
For any living being in this universe, the idea of finding that unique "him" among the billions of True Spirit Fragment that have almost completely erased all traces of his original self is an utterly impossible delusion.
Even a Celestial Emperor couldn't do that.
Because that would be tantamount to going against the cyclical laws of the entire universe.
But in Qin Feng's hands, all of this became incredibly simple.
His fingers were like those on a beach, precisely picking out, one by one, fragments that once belonged to the same seashell from millions of grains of sand.
Without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest mistake.
Countless points of light converged from all directions, forming a dazzling sphere of light in his palm.
Within that sphere of light, a blurry yet incredibly familiar outline was visibly reforming and becoming clearer.
The Ruthless Great Emperor's body trembled violently uncontrollably.
She covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the miraculous scene before her.
Tears had already blurred her vision.
That was the dream she had been searching for for over two hundred thousand years, living nine lifetimes in reverse, burying all the immortals and gods, yet it remained unattainable!
Finally, when the last True Spirit Fragment was casually picked up by Qin Feng from the end of the River of Time and gently pressed into the center of the light sphere's brow.
Buzz!
The entire sphere of light trembled violently, bursting forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling brilliance.
The complete soul of a little boy, with a hint of confusion and pure eyes, was gently lifted out of that void by Qin Feng.
The reunion of souls is only the first step.
Qin Feng glanced at the fragile soul and casually waved his left hand.
A vibrant blue light, brimming with life, appeared out of thin air, transforming into an extremely pure Life Origin that enveloped the boy's soul.
That is the Life Great Dao.
It is not a fragment of the laws of this universe, but the true Creation Great Dao that Qin Feng himself controls, capable of creating all the heavens and myriad worlds!
Nourished by that azure light, flesh and blood regenerated, and bones and muscles were reshaped.
In the blink of an eye, a vivid, exquisitely beautiful little boy, who looked to be about seven or eight years old, appeared before everyone.
He was dressed in simple, coarse cloth clothes, and his eyes were somewhat dazed, as if he didn't understand why he was there.
Qin Feng released his grip, letting the little boy land barefoot on the ground.
The little boy looked around blankly and saw those ethereal goddesses, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Finally, his gaze fell on the woman dressed in white, her face covered in cracks and streaked with tears.
He tilted his head, as if trying to make out something.
That face was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Yet, the deep longing and sorrow in those eyes were so familiar.
He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively and timidly called out.
"Younger sister..."
That was the sound!
Just two simple words.
It was like a divine thunderbolt World Creation, striking the Ruthless Great Emperor's frozen Dao Heart that had stood firm for eternity!
Click...
Click, click...
Bang!!!
The Ghost Face Mask that had carried her loneliness and sorrow for over two hundred thousand years could no longer hold on at this moment, shattering into countless specks of light that drifted away in the wind.
A peerless, ethereal face that could captivate all beings and make the sun, moon, and stars pale in comparison was exposed to the air without warning.
Her face still bore traces of wet tears.
But the moment she heard that call, the corners of her mouth involuntarily and slowly turned upwards.
It was an awkward, clumsy, and even somewhat stiff curve.
But as the arc widened, a warmth powerful enough to melt all the ice in the world, a radiant light capable of reviving all things, blossomed from her face.
She cried, yet she laughed again.
That was her purest, cleanest, and most soul-deepest smile, one she had forgotten for countless years.
Not for the sake of Reign Supreme, nor for the sake of intimidating the ages.
Simply because she heard that voice again, the one for whom she was willing to give everything. "Sister."
Qin Feng watched this scene, seeing that peerless smile blooming amidst tears, and a slight smile also appeared on his lips.
He knew that this empress, whose talent had been unparalleled throughout history and into the future, would belong to him from this day forward.
