Song Shuhang's first thought was: Could the Sage have pined himself sick, and upon sensing the aura belonging to Skylark Fairy, instinctively thrown himself at it?
But immediately afterward, he overturned that idea.
Because the Sage's Eye's actions didn't resemble a spur-of-the-moment decision at all—whether it was the spell the Sage had left inside his eye before death, or the Sage's Eye charging straight at the "box," everything gave Song Shuhang the feeling that the Sage had prepared for this long ago.
That wasn't to say the Sage had predicted before his death that Sovereign Fat Ball would seize the "Immortal Bone." Rather, it seemed the Sage had made preparations for [Skylark losing the Immortal Bone].
Although, after parting from Skylark in his youth, the Sage seemed to have never gone to see her again—perhaps his pride was at work.
However, before the Sage's death, he had left Skylark quite a few defensive measures. One that Song Shuhang knew of was the Creation Dharma King Lineage, which was specifically designed to resist the "Lord of Imperishability's Demon Thought."
Feelings were the most incomprehensible thing in the world, something that could never be calculated with formulas.
So, what did the Sage's Eye want to do now?
A bold hypothesis quietly surfaced in Song Shuhang's mind.
Resurrection?!
The greatest function of the Immortal Bone was to resurrect someone, right?
Senior Skylark had been able to accumulate that small-mountain-sized pile of "body parts" precisely because of the Immortal Bone.
The Confucian Sage still retained one eye.
If the Sage's Eye were combined with the Immortal Bone, could it grow a complete Confucian Sage?
If he were resurrected, would that mean a true battle between the Sage and Liquid Metal Ball, reenacting the "Heavenly Dao Contest War" from back then?
