630: Chapter 619 Heavenly Stone Town 630: Chapter 619 Heavenly Stone Town Wen Wen said sarcastically, “If you no longer crave revenge, then what is this spectacle all about?”
Lord Tian Shi fell silent for a mont before saying, “After the hatred was stripped away, the desire to protect the townspeople gained the upper hand, and I was caught in a conflict.”
“At the sa ti, I realized that the Hateful Demon Monster I created had beco a monster beyond my control, I only wanted to seek revenge on this town, not to create a monster that would destroy everything.”
“Therefore, I created this Illusionary Realm, making sure that the Hateful Demon Monster’s vengeance was confined to this town, so it would not affect people outside the town.”
“And because the Hateful Demon Monster could gain strength from the fear of its enemies, I used the Illusionary Realm to influence the whole town, preventing it from causing any panic during the entire process of vengeance.”
Wen Wen nodded thoughtfully, seemingly understanding why the Hateful Demon Monster did not directly seek revenge but did so within the Illusionary Realm instead.
The bizarrely normal living corpses must have co about in this way.
“But later, as its strength grew, my control over the town weakened and those corpses still caused unrest.”
Wen Wen had an epiphany, “I was wondering why, after the panic, it suddenly got so much stronger.
It seems that the panic allowed it to quickly master the ‘learned’ strength.”
Through Lord Tian Shi’s narration, Wen Wen figured out why this act of vengeance had beco so complicated; it was because, after planning his strategy for revenge, contradictions within himself had led him to create many dilemmas to hinder the Hateful Demon Monster’s vengeance.
After so thought, Wen Wen said to Lord Tian Shi, “If you are so conflicted about revenge, why can’t you let go of this hatred?
After all, those who destroyed your body and slandered you have already passed away, and the people now in Tian Family Town are rely their descendants.
For them, what you went through is just history…”
Lord Tian Shi laughed mockingly, “But for soone like with a long life, those experiences still feel like yesterday.
Now you tell you’ve forgotten, asking not to hold a grudge, isn’t that a bit hypocritical?”
Wen Wen was sowhat at a loss for words.
With Lord Tian Shi’s long lifespan and the re century of human life, the hatred between them was inherently unequal.
It was hard to argue right from wrong in such a matter, and he could only stand with humanity…
“So what do you plan to do next?
If you want to continue with revenge, I will stop you,” Wen Wen continued to ask.
Lord Tian Shi replied sowhat dejectedly, “Don’t worry, there’s not much I can do anyway.”
“My body has been divided into countless parts, and ultimately, it has still caused trendous harm.
I’ve only lasted this long because of ‘hatred’.
Now that the Hateful Demon Monster has vanished, I too am about to disappear.”
“But I don’t want to disappear as a bringer of calamity and be cursed by those humans I once protected.
So, in the last monts of my life, I have told you everything.
As long as you know that I am not like the story tells it, that’s enough for .”
After all was said and done, the luminescence on Lord Tian Shi’s body began to crumble, bit by bit.
Tiny white points of light drifted out from within him, making his form grow ever more ethereal, until he completely dissipated into the air.
Lord Tian Shi died just like that.
Wen Wen had previously thought the luminescence on him was a sign of his special power, never realizing it was a harbinger of death.
After Lord Tian Shi’s complete demise, the Illusion Space too began to turn into bubbles drifting towards the sky.
When the bubbles were gone, Wen Wen knew he was in the real town.
The crisis in the town was averted, the people were safe, and Wen Wen’s mission was accomplished, but he felt not a jot of joy, only a touch of lancholic sadness.
Wen Wen pulled off the Illusory Desire Heavenly Garnt he was wearing and looked at the dilapidated church.
He could almost see Lord Tian Shi standing atop it through the long passage of ti, gazing over the entire town, wrestling with whether to seek revenge.
“While they haven’t co over yet, let’s do a few last things…”
Wen Wen extended his hand toward the church, and black chains flew out from his sleeves, quickly slicing the church into rubble, then roughly bound the debris into a large, ssy sphere.
Afterward, Wen Wen snapped his fingers, and an old man wearing a tank top, shorts, and large slippers appeared before him.
This was the ‘Object Arranging Elder,’ seemingly an ordinary old man, but in reality, a Containnt Item without thought processes, capable of smoothing out the less ’rounded’ objects around him into a very smooth shape.
Upon seeing the object, the old man imdiately pounced onto the massive stone sphere.
In no ti, he had transford the jagged stones into a perfectly spherical ball, as if it had been carved out of a single whole stone.
Next, Wen Wen took out a runic longsword he had forged in his spare ti from the containnt shop and began to carve into the huge stone sphere.
…
Outside the small town, at the campsite, Moyadi held a staff, levitating in mid-air.
In the Yingua District, one could often see street perforrs like this, but most of them were using props, seeming to float but actually sitting on an iron plate connected to a long staff.
But Moyadi was different, he was genuinely and truly sitting in mid-air.
Originally just an ordinary youth from the Yingua District, it was precisely because of showcasing this special skill in the streets that the local Hunters Association found him and made him a Demon Hunter…
When Wen Wen left the Illusionary Town, he naturally no longer needed to maintain the grand illusion, allowing him to open his eyes, and that’s when he saw the ssage sent by Wen Wen.
He then said to the surrounding Demon Hunters and Supporters, “The situation has been resolved.
Wait outside for fifteen minutes first.
After my people confirm that it’s safe inside, we’ll try to enter the town for the rescue operation.”
His words were primarily directed at the Demon Hunters and Supporters from the local Hunters Association who had just arrived; Moyadi’s team specialized in illusion techniques—riding motorcycles was their way of life, and dealing with the aftermath was not within their scope of work.
They would be able to call it a day and leave once he led the local Demon Hunters into the town to eliminate any hidden dangers.
Once the fifteen minutes were up, Moyadi led the local Demon Hunters into the town.
The first thing they saw was body after body that had been decaying for so ti.
These bodies had been wandering around the town until the Hateful Demon Monster was captured by Wen Wen, which then stopped them in their tracks.
Next, they saw the thousands of townsfolk who had beco vegetative in the town center, all of them sitting with their eyes open and smiles on their faces; their expressions were as if stamped from the sa mold, creating a scene that was incredibly eerie.
Beyond that, they didn’t see anyone else.
Tao Qingqing, who was previously watching over the place, had returned to Wen Wen’s side after the illusion was dispelled, and Wen Wen had already collected the tiger-like puppets.
The leading Demon Hunter had already received the ssage from Wen Wen, so he knew that although the townsfolk looked eerie, they would recover after so ti and there was no need for excessive worry.
Moyadi was slightly puzzled.
He knew that Wen Wen had dealt with the issue, and Wen Wen indeed sent him so ssages through the Ranger Terminal, but where had Wen Wen gone?
Shouldn’t he be waiting here?
However, very soon, Moyadi knew where Wen Wen had gone.
The Demon Hunters who were counting the people in the town center heard heavy footsteps, and then they saw a figure in a black robe slowly walking towards them.
This figure was carrying a plastic bag containing a pink gauze dress in one hand and shouldered a massive stele over three ters tall on the other.
On the front face of the stele, three large characters were inscribed…
Heavenly Stone Town!
