The scene appearing on the throne was a memory Ling Feng had buried for a long time!

"So... that's how it was!"

After seeing Ling Feng's memories, Xu Kun couldn't calm down for a long time!

From his memories, Ling Feng was born in the 62nd year of the Xuanyuan Lord's era, which is 538 years ago!

The era created by the Xuanyuan Lord was different from the one created by the current Lord of the Heavenly Eye. After the eras of Cang and Pangu, the Human Race flourished during the Xuanyuan Lord's time!

It was hailed as the Xuanyuan Restoration!

The Human Race had already passed through the two hundred years of darkness at the beginning of the Haotian Pagoda's descent. With Cang's unparalleled grace at the top, Pangu deterring all races in the middle, and the Xuanyuan Lord re-establishing the Nine Provinces, using Huaxia's Nine Provinces as the center, constantly absorbing the Human Race forces scattered outside!

At that time, all races were focused on exploring the Haotian Pagoda, and were also deterred by the abilities of the Human Race's three Lords of the Era, not daring to covet the Human Race's territory, giving the Human Race an opportunity for peaceful development!

Human Race compatriots were able to recuperate!

But in Ling Feng's memory, one sentence was deafening!

If a country has no legalist advisors within and no strong foreign adversaries without, it will perish!

In a long period of peace and stability, the Human Race became restless. As the saying goes, born in sorrow, die in pleasure. The Human Race, fond of creating trouble, began to fight among themselves when there were no external enemies!

The era created by the Xuanyuan Lord was similar to the thousands of years of feudalism in ancient Huaxia. Dynasties changed, feudal lords rose together, and powerful countries stood side by side. Relying on the powerful abilities obtained from the Haotian Pagoda, ambitious people began to conquer and start wars!

The period in which Ling Feng lived was known as the mid-Xuanyuan period, a crucial time when the Nine Provinces were the center, countries stood side by side, and they prepared for war!

As Ling Feng grew up, the shadow of war loomed over all the Human Race people!

In the late Xuanyuan period, the Human Race had forgotten the myriad races that had descended on Earth in their struggle for power and territory. The countries were fighting each other to the death!

The Yue Country where Ling Feng was located was one of the feudal states. He witnessed his parents die in a senseless war, and he was reduced to a servant, serving the nobles!

The Yue Country was defeated and almost annexed by the more powerful Wu Country. Ling Feng was only fifteen years old at the time. After wandering around, he joined a Yue Country noble force determined to restore the country.

Here, he met the white moonlight that saved his life, a noble woman named A Qing!

A Qing didn't care about his servant background. As peers, A Qing no longer made Ling Feng busy with those lowly and dirty jobs, but just asked him to practice swords and chat with her.

A Qing also told him that no matter how sad a person's past was, as long as they reached adulthood and entered the Haotian Pagoda to become a strong person, they could change their life!

Ling Feng also kept these words firmly in his heart, vowing to become a generation of strong people in the Haotian Pagoda and change the current situation of endless wars in the Human Race!

When A Qing looked at Ling Feng with a smile and asked him what he wanted to do most if he could really obtain powerful power in the Haotian Pagoda.

Ling Feng looked at A Qing's smiling face and was momentarily lost. He foolishly replied that he just wanted to protect her for the rest of his life!

A Qing seemed very shy about this answer, but she didn't deny Ling Feng's blatant affection, but told him to wait until he became stronger!

Under A Qing's encouragement and healing, Ling Feng forgot the haze and pain that the war had brought him!

At that time, the two of them reached adulthood, and the countries ceased fighting. The last words A Qing said to Ling Feng in his memory were particularly profound!

"Work hard, I believe you can do it!"

In this way, Ling Feng entered the Haotian Pagoda with enthusiasm and began his novice trial!

Mist Island was the starting point for Ling Feng to become a strong person, and also the end point for him to lose everything!

Here, he awakened the extremely strong SS-level double bonus talent. When he saw the talent he had awakened, Ling Feng was completely dumbfounded!

He felt that his good luck was all given to him by A Qing!

With his powerful talent, Ling Feng easily wiped out the race monsters in ten level zones, climbed to the top step by step, easily took the Shrine Guardian, and played the powerful Mist Island final boss - Flame Dragon in the palm of his hand!

Finally, he cut off the Flame Dragon's head with a single sword, completed the SSS-level novice trial score, and set foot on the Heavenly Rankings!

Wealth and honor not returning to one's hometown is like wearing brocade at night. After obtaining all the rewards for the SSS-level score, the first thing Ling Feng thought of was whether his A Qing had seen it, that he had succeeded, and that he was really qualified to become a strong person!

And the Haotian Pagoda also gave him a big surprise!

[Preliminary control of Mist Island]!

This power allowed Ling Feng to understand everything that happened on Mist Island, and it was this power that became the beginning of Ling Feng's complete fall into the abyss!

After initially controlling the power of Mist Island, Ling Feng explored the trial takers within the entire Mist Island range and was pleasantly surprised to find that A Qing was also on Mist Island!

At that moment, he believed in so-called fate, that the Haotian Pagoda was giving him a chance. He only needed to wait in this hall, and then he could give A Qing a surprise!

Moreover, A Qing was already relying on her excellent strength, and at this time, she was only behind Ling Feng in clearance efficiency, solving the last barrier of the shrine - a defense line composed of Corrosive Poison Termites!

In the next step, as long as they stepped into the shrine and solved the two Shrine Guardians, the two of them could meet in the hall!

At that time, A Qing, who had solved the Corrosive Poison Termite swarm, looked at the clearance Heavenly Rankings hanging in the sky and showed a smile that intoxicated Ling Feng. Danger... descended at that moment!

"A Qing, run!"

Although there was no sound in the picture, Xu Kun could clearly judge Ling Feng's anxious shout at that time!

But unfortunately, one person was inside the shrine, and the other was outside the shrine, a short distance away, like the ends of the earth!

A Qing, who was happy for Ling Feng's entry into the Heavenly Rankings, didn't notice the approach of the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor at all. Ling Feng watched helplessly as A Qing fell into the venom spewed out by the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor!

Her delicate body was devoured inch by inch by the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor!

At that moment... Ling Feng's heart was ashen!

"A Qing... without you, what's the point of me living!"

"What do the world's conflicts matter to me!"

"If you were here, I would help you restore the Yue Country!"

"If you're not here, so what if the people suffer, so what if the Human Race is destroyed!"

Ling Feng's beliefs crumbled at that moment. He didn't have the same experiences as Xu Kun. Until adulthood, he was only surrounded by the cruel reality of his parents' deaths in war, and the ambition of various countries constantly starting wars for supremacy...

Only A Qing was the only light in his life!

Losing A Qing meant losing everything!

What good is an SS-grade talent!

What good is an SSS-grade rating!

What good is the strength of the Human Race!

If he could, he would trade everything he had for A Qing's rebirth!

But unfortunately, the rules of the Haotian Pagoda are cruel. A Qing... was ultimately dead!

Ling Feng, having lost his faith, no longer had any will to fight. He made a deal with the will of the Haotian Pagoda, replacing the final boss of Mist Island, willing to stay in the dilapidated shrine forever, guarding A Qing!

The Haotian Pagoda's will agreed and preserved the remains of the deceased A Qing, but if Ling Feng wanted to reunite with A Qing, he needed to wait for someone to kill the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor and bring A Qing into the main hall!

The subsequent memory fragments were scattered, showing Ling Feng watching each batch of novice trainees, hoping that they could kill the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor and bring A Qing back to his side!

However, the greatest distance is no greater than this, fate is determined by heaven, and fortune makes fools of people!

Ling Feng placed high hopes on each batch of novice trainees, but the capable trainees didn't encounter the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor, and the incapable ones became the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor's food!

Hope, in the end, turned into disappointment!

This wait lasted 520 years!

Perhaps, even the heavens didn't want to torment Ling Feng anymore. After waiting for 520 years, Ling Feng finally waited, waited for Xu Kun to personally kill the Corrosive Poison Termite Emperor, and even collected A Qing's remains!

Even though things had changed, Ling Feng still hadn't changed his original intention!

In fact, when Xu Kun brought A Qing back to his side, he was completely free!

"So, Senior Ling Feng already had a death wish when he brought back Senior A Qing!"

Unable to share a bed in life, he wished to share a coffin with her in death. This was Ling Feng's last hope!

His last gentleman's battle with Xu Kun, although it was said that both of them were going all out, was actually Ling Feng's last test for Xu Kun!

This test was not about the level of strength, but about the consideration of Xu Kun's character!

Otherwise, as long as Ling Feng didn't want Xu Kun to pass, even if Xu Kun could summon ten Heart-Devouring Blood Ant Emperors, he could easily solve them!

Of course, after seeing Xu Kun's attribute panel, Ling Feng smiled, a smile of relief!

Because in the past 520 years, although he was imprisoned in the Mist Island map of the Haotian Pagoda, he also saw batches of trainees, and from their words, he also knew something about the Human Race!

Ling Feng's persistent love had not diminished after 520 years!

But his hatred for the Human Race and his disgust for the current situation had long vanished, and a pure heart made him feel a sense of guilt in the long years!

"Perhaps, if A Qing were still alive, she wouldn't want to see me like this either..."

This was a repeated self-statement from Ling Feng after each novice trial ended.

The Human Race did not give him warmth, but when he saw batches of Human Race trainees working hard for the prosperity of the Human Race, the sense of mission as a member of the Human Race made him hate the current inhuman self!

Persistence, guilt, expectation... these were the most frequent emotions that accompanied Ling Feng for more than five hundred years!

The last moment of the memory screen was the warmest scene Ling Feng felt.

A Qing danced with a sword, and Ling Feng accompanied her. The Yue Maiden and Ling Feng, should have been a sincere relationship that everyone envied!

In the end, it turned into a bubble...

The picture disappeared, and Xu Kun stood there blankly, lost in thought.

He murmured, "Is it worth it?"

This sentence was him asking the deceased Ling Feng, because from beginning to end, A Qing had not expressed any love for him!

Xu Kun was not clear about what kind of feelings A Qing had for Ling Feng!

A noble lady falling in love with a young man from a slave background might be too absurd in the eyes of the world!

Perhaps Ling Feng's persistence was just wishful thinking...

But so what, everything had vanished, and Ling Feng, who should have become the backbone of the Human Race, completely disappeared in such a twist of fate.

[Ding, you killed the final boss of Mist Island - Heart of Despair·Ling Feng, Mist Island completion +1%, current completion 100%, reached SSS-grade rating!] [Ding, Heaven's Blessing·Child of Fortune takes effect, SSS-grade rating + level +1, congratulations on reaching SSSS-grade rating!]
