I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night Chapter 1225 - 647: Slaying Liu Zun, the God of Old Longings

"My ti has co, you should let go."

Lord Lu sighed, speaking thusly.

At this mont, his flesh was full of vitality, and his primordial spirit was nded, yet death lingered around him.

The old man gently stroked his beard and continued, "To go against destiny harms your own fortune."

Lin Yan's expression was solemn, and he remained silent.

He possessed Creation Divine Skills, capable of extending Lord Lu's presence in the world.

But beneath the Reincarnation Divine Artifact, the Book of Life and Death had erased his lifespan.

Lord Lu's survival was an act against the heavens, defying the ultimate principles of the universe.

The so-called heavenly punishnt diminishes fortune, a plight Lin Yan himself could face without fear.

But for the deceased Lord Lu, existing in the world was an endless tornt.

Every mont of life brought invisible pain to Lord Lu.

Lin Yan could disregard himself, but he could not disregard Lord Lu.

Forcing Lord Lu to stay in the world would bring only endless suffering.

Clinging to life, he constantly endured the backlash of heaven and earth.

This would only add to Lord Lu's tornt in vain.

With the Nirvana Divine Egg, he was confident he could allow Lord Lu to break free from his past and be completely reborn.

Yet the reborn Lord Lu would no longer be Lord Lu; from a certain perspective, he would simply be an avatar of Lin Yan.

Lord Lu knew of the Nirvana Divine Egg's existence and only shook his head slightly.

"Since I embarked on my cultivation path, Lord Lu has treated as his own, exerting every effort, even as his ti ends, pondering how to secure opportunities for after his passing."

Lin Yan supported the old man, saying softly, "In my heart, Lord Lu and I, though not related by blood, are as close as grandfather and grandson, transcending any blood ties."

He took a deep breath and said, "Making you a part of would be disrespectful to you."

"Grandfather, this ti I won't let you suffer in the mortal world."

"Within a year, I will break through the Netherworld to bring you back to life and return to the earthly realm!"

"If I can beco the Yin Tianzi, you shall be the foremost Yama of the Netherworld."

"I, Lin Yan, swear today, you and I, as grandfather and grandson, have never doubted each other before, and shall never forsake each other thereafter."

With Lin Yan's words, he dispersed the Eating Years Divine Skill.

Lord Lu's physical body and primordial spirit were quite strong, but with the dispersal of the Eating Years Divine Skill, he beca increasingly lifeless.

He smiled faintly, gently stroked his beard, looked at Lin Yan, and said, "At the end of my life, to see you once more, I have no regrets."

"As my soul returns to the Netherworld, in future matters, do not bind yourself too tightly, take everything as it cos."

"Affairs of the mortal realm weigh heavily on my mind, but now that you reappear in this world, I can rest in peace."

With these words, he reached out his withered hand to stroke Lin Yan's head, softly saying, "It's a pity that my abilities are limited to the Refining God Realm, unable to leave you with much help, my child... the future will depend on you."

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

Then his whole body froze.

The hand on his head fell powerlessly.

He closed his eyes, reminiscing.

When he first t Lord Lu.

The first visit.

"Are you very wealthy?"

"A pound of refined salt can exchange for two pounds of coarse salt, if traded for inferior salt, you could get four pounds."

"You too co from poverty, save so silver tael for the future."

"Take it with you on the way back, exchange it for inferior salt, next ti bring back a pound of it."

"These dicinal materials benefit the organs, especially for martial artists enhancing inner strength."

"Additionally, this Essence Boosting Pill can augnt your Qi-blood, but for you, it is insufficient; you need the Great Essence Boosting Pill."

"I hope you'll maintain your true self, rember today's heroic deeds, and nurture a righteous spirit."

"What we discussed today is a path completely opposite to the normal cultivation road! Yet perhaps this is the path more fitting for the era after Deceit Night descends!"

"Saint Master! Blessing future generations, of boundless rit!"

Scenes from the past unfurled before his eyes.

Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes.

Before him, Lord Lu sat serenely, lifeless.

In life, there are many things beyond control.

Mighty as Lin Yan's abilities were, with ans almost divine, he still could not change the rules of the universe.

Lord Lu was gone.

At this mont, Lin Yan felt deeply powerless.

His lips moved slightly, and he stepped back.

Then he dropped to his knees, respectfully prostrating.

"Lin Yan bids farewell to Lord Lu!"

His forehead touched the ground, his eyes showing a complex expression.

Having endured countless life and death situations, till this day, he deed his heart as steadfast as a rock.

Yet facing Lord Lu's departure, emotions inevitably surged from within.

He did not shed a tear.

Because he didn't need to shed tears.

Soday, he must find Lord Lu once again.

In the next mont, Lin Yan raised his head and solemnly said, "Till we et again in the Netherworld!"

——

Lord Lu has passed away!

All kept simple!

The great human clan was unaware, as Lord Lu feared causing disturbance and waste.

But for Lin Yan, separated by life and death, their parting was not the end.

Thus, this funeral did not need to be too grand.

Lord Lu's body was preserved by Lin Yan.

His primordial spirit had already shattered.

A single thread of true spirit quietly vanished into the universe, returning to the Netherworld.

Wutong Divine Mother could not retain this thread of true spirit.

Lin Yan also had no power to retain it.

He could only watch as Lord Lu's soul returned to the Netherworld.

"The funeral is simple, this matter is over, everyone carry on as usual, I still have urgent matters."

Lin Yan looked at the gathered people and slowly spoke, "All Gods awakening, traces of Heavenly Gods gradually erge, the destiny of the Human Clan is unstable! If we cannot rise, in the future we will surely be obliterated by various Evil Gods, my ti is limited, today I am unable to reminisce with you all..."

He offered a salute, his expression serious.

And everyone present bowed in greeting.

In the next mont, Lin Yan flicked his finger.

A Creation Seed scattered into light, showering upon all those present.
