I don't deserve this sleep now.
So Ren woke up and saw a long table with several chairs. Hua Yi put down large bowls one by one and poured in Luofu Fine Brew.
"Sit."
"You can kill me?"
The suppressed, frantic voice was now strangely calm, surprising even Ren himself.
It is a dreamless sleep, which temporarily dispels the darkness in one's heart, but does not eliminate the obsession after waking up.
"If you can do it, then come and kill me."
The doubt turned into certainty; all Blade desired was a swift death.
Hua Yi poured the wine, five bowls including his own.
"What's wrong? Did you not sleep well just now? This should be the best sleep you've had in seven hundred years."
"I am not worthy."
Yes, I am now neither worthy of peaceful sleep nor worthy of asking Hua Yi for death.
A deal should be made.
Ren lowered his head in thought, looking at his hands.
The Genius Craftsman has created countless divine weapons, and Jing Yuan's array sword Stone Fire Dream Body, is one of his works.
But these hands no longer belonged to the blacksmith; they belonged to the swordsman.
The various forging techniques have long since faded, replaced by various deadly sword techniques.
"In exchange, I can kill for you, and you kill me."
"Sit down and have a drink first."
Even if a blade came, it would have to put down the blood sword and pick up the large bowl in front of Hua Yi.
The swordsman had no choice but to obey. Since waking up, he had been staring intently at Hua Yi, his gaze fixed on nothing else, until finally settling on the seating arrangement at the table and chairs.
At the jade table, Hua Yi sat in the center, with Jingliu to his left and Jing Yuan to his right.
There was no room next to him.
Then, Dan Heng, who had been pulled by Jing Yuan to sit on the right, watched helplessly as Ren walked towards him.
"..."
Even before boarding the Astral Express, Dan Heng had encountered Ren more than once during his wanderings through the universe.
More accurately, he actively sought him out and hunted him down.
But he always gets counter-killed.
Dan Heng had already witnessed Ren's immortality, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Ren helped awaken the power and Remembrance belonging to Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae.
Now, returning to his hometown of Remembrance, with Jing Yuan as his close friend and Ren no longer his pursuer, at least not for the moment, the complex emotions in his heart are beyond words, known only to Dan Heng himself.
"Everyone, please."
Hua Yi picked up the large bowl and was the first to drink the wine in one gulp.
Whether it was the aloof and moon-like Jingliu or the bloodthirsty and mad Ren, they each drank the fine wine in their bowls. As for Jing Yuan and Dan Heng, there was no need to say more.
The Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry gathered together for a drink in the Scalegorge Rivers. If the news were to spread, it would shake not only the Luofu Xianzhou, but the entire Xianzhou Alliance.
Because they are legends in the history of the Radiant Xianzhou Alliance, even though they have committed serious crimes, many of them still harbor a sliver of hope.
Some of the Dragon Master of the Abiding hated the Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae for his autocratic rule and for severing the Dragon Lord's lineage, while others longed for his reincarnation to return to the clan and wield great power.
When Ren was Genius Craftsman, his master was General Huai Yan of General Zhuyuan.
As long as he sincerely repents and pleads guilty before the Old General, Huai Yan will never have the intention to kill him. In fact, anyone in the entire Xianzhou Alliance who wants to fight or kill Ren will have to get past General Zhuyuan first.
If Jingliu were to return to the battlefield and once again break through enemy lines for the Xianzhou Alliance, those generals who grew up listening to the legends of the Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry, joined the army with fervent patriotism, and gradually became capable leaders would likely find it difficult to regard her as an enemy.
However, they won't do that.
Blade was left only with a death wish, and deliberately avoided seeing Huai Yan, who was like a teacher and a father to him.
Jingliu is now filled with hatred for [ Abundance ] and will no longer lead troops into battle.
Even though Dan Heng regained the power of Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, he only suppressed the rebellious Dragon Masters and had no intention of regaining control of the power of Vidyadhara.
After finishing his wine, Hua Yi's gaze swept over everyone present. He didn't ask them to do anything, but simply told them what he could do.
"Perhaps, I can save Bai Heng."
"!!"
Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
The Xianzhou Alliance holds a prestigious position in the universe, ranking among the super powers. There are those who can rival it, but none can surpass it.
The high and mighty Aeon are outside the scope of their influence.
Therefore, even though the Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry held high positions back then, exhausted all their efforts, they still couldn't revive Bai Heng. So there really must be no way to save him.
But Hua Yi is different.
Jingliu, Jing Yuan, Dan Heng, and Ren all believed in him.
"... What... what do you want to do?"
" Bai Heng was swallowed by the black hole, which involves [Nihility]. I need to understand this truth, analyze it to a sufficiently profound level, and then step into one of the myriad manifestations of the Aeon IX of The Nihility to use [Hunt] to locate Bai Heng and bring her back—it would be best to combine [ Abundance ] and [Mystery] during this process."
Unlike relying on Bai Heng's blood to perform the Dragon Transformation Method and seek a slim hope of resurrection, Hua Yi's method is clearly more based on evidence.
Destiny flows through the universe, truths intertwine, and together they form objective reality.
Everything in the world exists within this framework.
If so many truths can be shaken and utilized, then by comparison, the resurrection of Bai Heng becomes a deserved outcome.
Because the former is infinitely more difficult than the latter.
" The Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry have already made a mistake once. We can't let you put yourself in danger again, especially not with something as far-fetched as this."
Jing Yuan's expression was serious.
" [Nihility] is not easily affected by other destinies, but will instead corrupt them. Even if you encounter Self-Annihilator of the Void, you should stay away immediately and there is no reason to approach it on your own initiative."
"If you want to study [immortality], I can provide blood and extract marrow, but not [Nihility]," Dan Heng stated clearly.
Jingliu frowned as he looked at Hua Yi: " Bai Heng passed away seven hundred years ago. You have nothing to do with this matter. You should not think about going to the Void, whether in the past, present, or future."
Ren raised the Blood Sword and slashed himself, filling the wine bowl with blood before pushing it to Hua Yi.
"This is the blood of the God of Abundance. There is as much as you want. There is nothing else, nor should there be."
"So you've formed a united front?"
Hua Yi smiled.
"I apologize for my inappropriate joke. This kind of thing does sound very exaggerated, with one moment it's [Nihility] and [Hunt], and the next it's [ Abundance ] and [Mystery]. If so many destinies could be mobilized, it wouldn't be impossible to rescue people in the realm of nothingness. Anyway, I'm very happy to see everyone preaching so energetically."
"Don't make jokes like that anymore, it's really happening."
Chapter 380 Dan Heng resides in Xianzhou Luofu, the Marshal wants to interrogate Jingliu
Under Hua Yi's leadership, the survivors reunited here, temporarily setting aside their complex resentments and hatred, and enjoying a light drink.
No one drank much, let alone got drunk, and there was little laughter or chatter.
This situation has reached its limit. If Hua Yi were to bring out a plate of delicacies and ask everyone to eat and drink to their heart's content, it would be asking the impossible.
A bowl of wine was all there was to the "feast," and Ren was the first to leave.
He was going to find Elio, the Slave of Destiny, to ask for the script and see if there was anything he could do to help Hua Yi complete a fair trade and get his life in return.
Before leaving, Ren bid farewell to Dan Heng, indicating that he would continue the pursuit, which was the price they had to pay, even though the road to revenge was long.
Despite their "life-or-death friendship," the cold-faced Xiao Qinglong responded with only a brief "I'll accompany you to the end."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jing Yuan simply brought up Dan Heng's matter with Hua Yi.
"During the tribulation at Xianzhou Luofu, Dan Heng stepped in to suppress the Dragon Master of the Abiding at a critical juncture, which was like sending charcoal in snowy weather. I would like to take this opportunity to end his exile sentence and even keep him in the Divine Strategy Hall for discussions. Is that possible?"
"You're asking me?"
Hua Yi raised an eyebrow.
"What kind of signal is General of the Divine Creation making this decision? How will the other Alliance high command react? Will the Dragon Master of the Abiding have any other intentions? And how should Bailu, who was appointed as the new Dragon Lord by Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, conduct herself?" These are the things you need to consider.
"I've thought about it, I've considered everything."
"And Dan Heng's own ideas as well."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan coughed lightly.
General of the Divine Creation are unparalleled, which is a well-known fact. However, many times he only reduced the casualties of the Cloud Knights and achieved great victories, rather than miraculously saving his own side.
Hua Yi, however, was able to create miracles.
Originally, Jing Yuan only wanted to give Dan Heng the right to go home, and could not ask for more.
With Hua Yi around, General of the Divine Creation felt he could temporarily set aside some of his rationality and embrace some of his emotions.
" Xianzhou Luofu should have been Dan Heng's home. His clansmen live here, there are stories he left behind when he was the Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, and there is also my old friend. Dan Heng here, but he could not grow up here because of the sins of his past life. If I could stop worrying about it, I would like to be willful for once. Please stay, my old friend."
After a moment of silence, Dan Heng declared, "I am Dan Heng, not Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae."
Seeing the way these two guys were behaving, Hua Yi pondered for a while.
"In that case..."
"How?"
"Since Dan Heng insists that he is not Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae and only calculates this life, then Jing Yuan is a senior, and he should at least say hello to Uncle."
"?"
Dan Heng froze, while Jing Yuan was taken aback for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter.
"Hahaha, wonderful! Dan Heng insists on not acknowledging me as a friend, so being my nephew would be perfect."
"??"
After holding back for a long time, the cold-faced little green dragon finally came up with a rebuttal to Hua Yi: "If you are a young person in the sense of a short-lived species, even without considering my age as Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, I am older than you. Why don't you call me uncle?"
But such humor is rather unrestrained. Faced with Hua Yi, the savior who turned the tide of the Xianzhou Luofu catastrophe and created the miracle of everyone's survival, Dan Heng didn't even want to offend him with a sarcastic remark.
The portion is too heavy.
" Jing Yuan and I are friends, and it has nothing to do with Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae."
"Clear."
Hua Yi nodded knowingly.
"You can make the decision as you expect. If you encounter any problems, I will help you find a solution."
"Good!"
Jing Yuan looked excited and bowed deeply with his fists clasped.
"With your words, Jing Yuan suddenly felt that the road ahead was clear and that everything within sight was bright."
We should arrange a residence for Dan Heng in Changle Heaven, so that he can hold meetings in Shence Divine Strategy Hall instead of staying in Scalegorge Rivers. This way, we can minimize the chances of the Dragon Masters having unrealistic ideas.
Dan Heng is neither Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae nor Dragon Lord. Currently, there is only one Dragon Lord in the Dragon's Kin: Bailu, the Medicine-Bearing Dragon Lady.
As for the Xianzhou Alliance itself, the statement that "being with old friends keeps my mind pure and prevents me from falling into demonic influences" should be quite convincing.
That's the truth.
As long as Hua Yi, as the Emissary of the Emperor Bow, is willing to support Dan Heng, his situation within the Xianzhou Alliance will not be too bad.
After sorting through his thoughts, Jing Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"I have reported the Luofu Rebellion. The Marshal wants to know more about the situation, so... she will interrogate Jingliu herself."
