This is simply the power of the gods!
"Heavens! This is Venerable One!" In the Stone Kingdom, a king and nobleman trembled and gasped, realizing that the world in the Desolate Region had changed.
The golden-clad man blocking the door suddenly changed his expression, feeling a chill run down his spine. The Human Emperor had already begun to unleash his Ancestral Artifact, intending to hunt him down.
Before the former could even utter a harsh word, he quickly activated the divine talisman and vanished from the spot...
One move and the Desolate Region was shaken!
The other major powers were all dumbfounded and fell silent; the killing of the Venerable was truly a horrifying event.
The following day, an imperial decree arrived from the capital, bestowing upon Marquis Liu title of Duke of Rongguo!
The public!
The title of nobility abolished in the Stone Kingdom was ranked above that of a marquis and below that of a king!
Since Shi Ziling was not included in the Formation Array, it was difficult for him to be granted the title of king. Therefore, the Stone Emperor used his previous title, a great honor that is truly enviable.
"The ancestral worship ceremony is of paramount importance; only the Duke of Rongguo can attend!"
The golden calligraphy spread out, Shi Ziling was adorned with nine tassels, and dressed in a black royal robe, he reached the pinnacle of his life.
The five golden characters of "Imperial Decree for the Rongguo Manor" shone brightly in the sky, hanging above the grand gate, their golden Divine Radiance so dazzling that others dared not look up at them.
Relatives and friends of the Martial King Manor flocked here to seek refuge with this renowned Duke of Rongguo. The Martial King remained indifferent to all of this, preoccupied with healing his wounds. Meanwhile, the Martial King Manor was supporting Shi Yi, a Double Pupils -Double-Pupiled One with one eye missing.
Shi Hao became the heir apparent of the Duke!
His identity is even more special.
Among the important figures in the Stone Kingdom, his mother was favored by the gods, and now that his son was honored because of his mother, no one dared to underestimate this crippled, naturally born Supreme.
The Rong Manor is very special.
The master and his partner have passed away, but he never remarried. However, there are many wet nurses in this Duke's mansion, and the singing and dancing along the way are all for the Little One.
"This child remembers my scent..."
Another month had passed. Qin Yining arrived late at night, her eyes red and swollen, and she held the Little One, tears streaming down her face.
She was already Venerable, her body crystalline, radiating a powerful aura, with Chaos light swirling between her brows, far stronger than the Primordial Demon Spider that had been suppressed and killed.
This is the result of being nourished day and night by the Chaos Divine Radiance.
It was precisely because this Venerable mother breastfed the baby every month that the Little One to go through many different wet nurses...
" Hao'er, you must grow up quickly. That bone cannot limit you. Your future is definitely not in the Desolate Region. You are destined to ignite the Divine Flame, transform into Heavenly God, and even become an unparalleled Sect Master..."
The woman held the chubby baby in her arms, her fair hands stroking the Little One's bottom, showing an indescribable fondness for the child.
She is very intelligent.
After learning about Shi Yi's eyes being gouged out, it's almost certain that the lord valued Hao'er!
With only one eye left Shi Yi is the best whetstone!
But I'm also afraid of unexpected events!
If Hao'er loses... perhaps that great man will accept Shi Yi as his disciple.
This is a brutal competition.
A born Supreme being whose bones were dissected!
Double-Pupiled One were gouged out!
Whoever can break free from convention and transform themselves is destined for unparalleled talent!
This prophecy was spoken by the Stone Emperor himself.
It was precisely because of this that Shi Yi had not been suppressed in the past two years and was regarded as a hope by the Martial King Manor's Mansion. The Life essence left by that deity healed the wound from gouging out his eyes, but it did not affect the rise of this born Saint.
Thinking of this, Qin Yining's fingers clenched involuntarily; she was very worried about her child.
After all, given the current situation, Shi Yi has a significant advantage, as the Little One is missing that bone, while Shi Yi also has a Double Pupils.
"My son is gone. If we're truly fair, Shi Yi shouldn't have Double Pupils."
Qin Yining's gaze turned dark and unsettling. A seed had sprouted in her originally kind heart, and it quickly took root, revealing an undisguised malice.
Any mother, when faced with her young, pitiful, and adorable child, will transform into an aggressive female beast, determined to nip any threat in the bud...
When she arrived at the Martial King Manor, she saw Shi Yi, who had lost one eye, sitting silently alone in his deceased mother's room.
This nobleman, on whom the entire Shi Clan had placed great hopes since childhood, had a rare look of bewilderment in his remaining eye, along with a crystalline mist.
"Did I make a mistake by becoming stronger...?" Shi Yi murmured to himself, his gaze lowered as he recalled the things his mother had told him in the past.
" The Desolate Region is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and human life is as cheap as grass. The strong survive and the weak perish; this is the law of survival in this world!"
" Yi'er, you were born with Double Pupils. Those with Double-Pupiled One are synonymous with invincibility. If you grow up, you can protect the entire family, and even rule a region..."
Although Yu Clan doted on him at that time, she was also extremely strict with him.
It was under this kind of indoctrination that this born Saint became extremely indifferent, and becoming stronger became everything.
From another timeline, Shi Yi wasn't inherently evil. He cared about the Shi Clan's stigma of being sinners, and he would also show his strength and fight against Ning Chuan for his disdain for the Sin Blood...
"With the Supreme Bone, I will become stronger, protecting the Stone Kingdom. A small sin for a moment, a great act of kindness for eternity... No..."
In the secluded room, the one-eyed man muttered to himself, his eyes filled with shadows, as he began to question his past beliefs.
Now, the good of all ages is gone, but the sin of that moment is all the more vivid, and this sense of separation makes his youthful face somewhat distorted.
Chapter 779 Another Eye Lost, Lady Qin is Pregnant
"Right... wrong, which one is my path...?"
In the dark room, Shi Yi asked himself painfully. His only remaining Double Pupils shone brightly, radiating a dazzling light, as if a terrifying law was activated, like a brilliant star in the night sky.
In the shadows, a beautiful woman in a black robe stood still, her captivating double-lidded eyes filled with sadness, her eyelashes veiled in a thin mist, and her snow-white skin flushed red—truly a sight to behold.
As a mother herself, she could better understand the grief of a child losing their mother, but when she thought of the Little One, Qin Yining's heart hardened, and she decided to take action.
I only have that one pitiful child...
"I'm so sorry, Hao'er. This time, no matter how great the sin, I will bear it all alone."
She pursed her thin, red lips, her slender hands tensed, and her thick, black hair was blown by the night wind, revealing a pale and indifferent beautiful face.
"Buzz!"
As darkness fell, evil began to flow, and a nightmare began to haunt the Martial King Manor's mansion, replaying the horrific and bloody scene from two years ago.
Those who started this practice, will they have no descendants?
The prophecy of bloodshed and fratricide began to come true once again.
A slender, gleaming silver hand flashed past, wielding a silver blade that flowed with Chaos light. It gouged a gash in Shi Yi's eye, and blood gushed out instantly. At the same time, a hazy divine radiance, flowing with the mysteries of the heavens, with endless runes, flickered there incessantly.
This scene was too swift and unexpected. It was the work of the Venerable One. Shi Yi was caught completely off guard and had his right eye taken away.
The last image that precious Double Pupils left in his mind was blurry: a blurry figure made a move, radiating brilliant silver light, severing all his light.
"Ah..."
Shi Yi groaned, his knees buckling as he collapsed to his knees, crimson blood flowing from his empty right eye. This once-proud son of heaven lay prostrate on the ground, his body convulsing, unable to hold back his cries of agony.
Putting everything else aside, he was not even six years old, and he lost Double Pupils at different times; the punishment was too cruel!
Qin Yining's eyes trembled slightly, her pearly white teeth biting the corner of her lower lip, unable to bear to look any longer.
Today, she crossed her second line.
"Eleventh Aunt... is that you?"
Amidst the murky bloodstains, Shi Yi's face was deathly pale, his eyes vacant as he stared blankly ahead. Despite having his eyes gouged out, Qin Yining had the illusion of being watched; this was a special ability arising from the transformation of his spiritual consciousness.
Stared at by the boy, the woman seemed to lose her mind, trembling all over, retreating backward in a daze, tormented by her conscience.
She was speechless and nearly collapsed. She quickly enveloped herself in Chaos runes and soared into the sky, disappearing into the night...
North Sea Divine Nest.
A slender, jade-like hand gripped the stone wall, while the other hand hung limply in the air. Qin Yining's face was extremely pale, her hand trembling incessantly. The blood-red Double Pupils in her palm emitted a ghostly light, illuminating the place as if it were daytime.
Finally, the woman burst into tears, unable to bear it any longer, and began to vomit repeatedly...
On the other side, Su Yu, who was in seclusion, opened his eyes and saw the scene on the other side of the island.
Upon closer inspection, the causal chains on his body became increasingly profound. The Dunyi that were about to be broken through by absorbing the Yu Clan were now more sinister in color and more solid.
"She was the one who made the move, but the sins and consequences lie with me." After some deduction, Su Yu muttered to himself, realizing what had happened, his gaze growing increasingly profound.
After a moment, he shook his head again, not paying much attention. If it weren't for the incident in Stone Village, this woman might not have been able to cross that line...
What's done is done; punishing Lady Qin will not undo the damage. Besides, the woman is already pregnant...
Su Yu only learned today that he had become Qin Hao's father, which was quite unexpected, but he didn't care too much about it.
He was somewhat surprised that the Lady Qin had attacked Shi Yi.
This woman was quite magnanimous, but when it came to her own child, she lost her usual composure.
The second generation's troubles stemmed from internal strife!
The next day, A Man merged her right eye again, becoming Double-Pupiled One acquired later in life. Her temperament became even more extraordinary, and she opened up the ninth Grotto-Heaven in one fell swoop...
When the people of the Martial King Manor discovered that Shi Yi had gotten into trouble, they were deeply shocked, and the mansion was shrouded in gloom. Meanwhile, the Rongguo Manor was thriving and becoming more and more prosperous.
Even four princesses from the imperial palace went there to keep the Little One, and at the same time, they also paid homage to the Willow Deity on behalf of the Stone Emperor.
Not all of them were daughters of the Stone Emperor; only one was a true princess, while the others were members of the royal family.
However, Little Stone Shihao was still chasing the Five-Colored Sparrow.
This was something he had been persistently doing ever since he became conscious, because when he was one year old, this wretched bird had pecked his little bird, and a grudge had formed between them.
When the noble ladies arrived, they witnessed this scene.
The princess was exquisitely beautiful, with large, sparkling eyes. A hint of surprise crossed her lovely, delicate face as she stared at the Little One, listening thoughtfully to the old man from the palace recount some of the Little One's stories.
"Princess, this girl has a bright future ahead of her. She must not put on airs in the Rongguo Manor," the old man whispered in his ear.
The girl nodded repeatedly; she had also heard the rumors about her ancestral homeland.
