Chapter 1197, Past Events, Mystery Revealed

Xia Xia had heard of Ren Xiaosu’s strength.

For example, the battle in Winston City was also confirmed today by Chen Jingshu that it was indeed Ren Xiaosu’s doing.

Another example was the battle where Ren Xiaosu rejoined Winston City halfway to try and hunt down Wang Wenyan, which was also passed on to Ghent City through Zhang Haoyun.

But this kind of thing, right, before seeing it with their own eyes, no one had a particularly intuitive impression in their hearts.

Now, as she looked at the scene in the water in the well, she was actually a bit speechless with surprise for a moment.

Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Mei, while Xiao Mei shrugged her shoulders, “I was also quite surprised at first ……”

At this time Xiaoxia suddenly recalled what Ren Xiaosu had said to her in the tunnel in the afternoon: I came from Middle Earth, and it is only the opportunity for all of you to overthrow the old aristocracy of the sorcerers.

At that time Xiaoxia responded with a polite smile, just thinking that she shouldn’t just question others.

And now, Xia was very glad she hadn’t questioned it at the time.

“Was it your companions who killed the Tudor Knights on the Avenue of Roses?” Kasumi queried.

“Right,” Ren Xiaosu responded casually, “My good friend, Lao Xu.”

“How many of you have come from Middle Earth?” Xiaosu asked.

“At first, it was just me,” Ren Xiaosu said with a grin, “Xiao Mei kidnapped me here, when he controlled me with his ground binding technique.”

In an instant, Xiaoxia began to reexamine Xiao Mei, thinking, “You’re even hiding your strength?

Xiao Mei hurriedly explained, “I’m not that powerful, it’s all because he was acting me out.”

Ren Xiaosu looked at Xiao Mei and Xia and said, “Wait a moment, I need to finish reading this letter first. Don’t worry, I’ll figure out how to deal with it before more enemies arrive.”

Xia was puzzled, “Why do I get the feeling that you’re deliberately making a big deal out of this.”

“Of course,” Ren Xiaosu nodded, “It’s not too difficult to lure them away or take you away, but that doesn’t fit my current thinking.”

“Your idea?” Xia asked.

“Right,” Ren Xiaosu laughed, “End the Sorcerer Kingdom as early as possible, all I can do is to help you guys clear the obstacles, as for whether you guys can take care of the rest of the things depends on you guys, or when I’m free, I’ll come back to the Sorcerer Kingdom for another trip. After all, it is the Northwest Branch of Daxing, I will manage to the end.”

Xia asked again, “You shouldn’t have thought this way before, right, what made you change your mind and suddenly be so aggressive.”

“Part of the reason is that my companions are arriving soon,” Ren Xiaosu said thoughtfully, “Another part of the reason is that I have to go back.”

This time, when he returned to Barrier 144, Ren Xiaosu had already gotten the news: the Wang Clan had completed the unification of the Central Plains.

After the unification, the Wang Clan entered a short period of rest and recuperation, and then after this period of rest and recuperation, the Wang Clan’s main force started up again, and now it was already about to arrive at the northwestern and southwestern borders.

Ren Xiaosu had to go back.

He unfolded the yellowed letter in this secret room in the well, “Quiet.”

This letter was too long ago, as if it came from the other side of the long river of time.

……

Corn, by the time you read this letter, years may have passed.

Dr. P said that everything will be possible when you wake up.

Perhaps you will incarnate as the Will of Heaven and Earth.

Perhaps you will lose your memories.

Or maybe it will be business as usual.

I’m not sure where fate will ultimately lead, and I’m only writing this letter in the hope that when you read it one day, you’ll realize that your mother and I never really left you.

Time is a measure of all things in this world. Teenagers will turn gray, flowers will fade, the sea will become mulberry fields, and mountains will become plains.

I can’t be sure what the world will look like by the time you read this letter, and I don’t think I’ll have a chance to see it. I have my responsibilities, and in the future, you will have yours.

I’ve spent almost my entire life in pursuit of the meaning of life.

I’ve tried falling from great heights.

I’ve tried riding waves in the ocean.

I’ve tried climbing 10,000 icebergs.

And I’ve tried flying on top of 10,000 mountains.

Your mom and I have traveled to almost every corner of this world, but it wasn’t until the moment you were born that we both finally felt at home.

At the moment I put pen to paper, there were so many things I wanted to tell you, but in the end I suddenly realized how pale words are in the face of time.

Xiao Su ah, have you already had your own life?

The biggest part of most people’s lives is spent watching.

Watching other people take different paths, watching other people’s lives, trying to find their own way out.

But in reality, what they are watching is not their life, not their path, not their choices, but how others are succeeding, because it is the success of others that gives them motivation. But if you wait until someone else succeeds, it will be too late.

O Su, do you already have your own love?

What is love? It’s suddenly having a soft spot, and it’s like suddenly having armor.

It’s when you suddenly understand a lot of love songs after falling in love with her.

It is that you suddenly feel that you can feel happy without conquering the world, without being famous, without being successful, without being rich in money. Even a little lost ambition, think this is quite good. It’s you who mind everything and can compromise on everything.

Asuka, do you still have a dream?

The road of chasing your dream is like trekking in the wilderness, in thorns and thistles, in the wind and snow, only you know how lonely you are in the ice and snow, it is the burning blood that supports you to go on.

This road is very difficult, you are bruised, you are hungry and cold, but as long as there is still a breath, you have to go on.

The moment when your dream succeeds, when the sun rises and you stand alone at the top of the cliff looking down at the unprecedentedly magnificent scenery, how exciting it is.

The significance of the existence of the dream is not in the dream after the completion of how how, its significance is in the process.

Little Su ah, do you still have the courage?

Most people don’t realize that the most precious thing in life is the courage to see the world when you are young, and the passion that can never be defeated.

Now that I think about it, the makers of the airplane were so brave, and that courage makes people look back and remember the history of the first flight of mankind as if they were watching the warriors who slayed the dragon.

These are the real dragon slayers in our ordinary life, the dragon is the invisible shackles, they cut the shackles, the courage to go forward.

The letter suddenly changed its handwriting when it was written here:

Xiao Su ah I’m mom, your father is starting to preach again, don’t listen to him, you have your own life and your own love.

We both just want you to be happy and healthy at that time.

Aw, mommy may not see you again.

I’m sorry that mommy didn’t take care of you.

……

When the letter was written here, the paper became wrinkled, as if there was water wetting the paper.

On Ren Xiaosu’s face, who was reading the letter, one tear after another fell down, and he wiped his tears but burst out laughing.

It turned out that he also had a mom and dad, it turned out that his mom and dad were just like everyone else, dad liked to preach and mom was gentle and kind.

“What’s up with that, this era doesn’t even have airplanes anymore,” Ren Xiaosu took a deep breath and said with a smile.

This letter was like a call from the closest person in the world, standing on the other side of that long river of time, warm and beautiful.

The letter didn’t mention the disaster, nor did it mention the condition, it was just like the warm exhortations of an ordinary parent, plain and simple.

But Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that this was enough.

It was enough.

He said in his head, “Palace, extract the quest reward.”

“Quest reward for dusty memories, confirm extraction?”

“Confirmed, extracting.”

The world grayed out and then brightened up again.

Ren Xiaosu sat by the campfire and watched his father in front of him as he sizzled the fish he had just caught from the mountain lake, while his mother sat to the side, whispering, “The child is still so young, and you brought him to unarmed rock climbing!”

The father laughed unconcernedly, “What’s wrong with that, I’ll be responsible for anything that happens.”

“Don’t talk nonsense here, if anything happens to him, I’ll divorce you!”

Then, Ren Xiaosu set off with his father in the early hours of the morning, and at the beginning of the morning sun, he watched his father carve four words on the rock at the top of the mountain, forever young.

……

Ren Xiaosu stood on the edge of the rooftop at the top of the Alps and watched as his father organized his flying squirrel suit for the last time, “Xiaosu remember, the most important thing in wingsuit flying is not choosing a route nor balance, but courage.”

“This is your last challenge, the moment you land safely you may hear a click in your body, don’t panic that’s not a broken bone, that’s the sound of a genetic lock opening.”

Teenager Ren Xiaosu shivered and said, “Dad, what if something happens to me?”

Ren He smiled and comforted, “It’s okay, dad is still young, there is still a chance to make you a brother again.”

Ren Xiaosu: “???”

The eight challenges that Ren Wo brought Ren Xiaosu through, each one of them is a nine deaths, high altitude parachuting, high altitude diving, extreme surfing, unarmed rock climbing ……

Each time, Ren Wo fooled Ren Xiaosu by saying that completing the challenges would open the gene lock and turn her into a superman.

Then, Ren Xiaosu really heard that click, the gene lock opened.

……

Ren Xiaosu quietly lying in the hospital room, silently looking at the outside of the hospital room father, mother and the doctor eagerly talking about something.

In fact, at that moment he understood that he was afraid to say goodbye to this world.

It’s tragic that he could still get cancer after opening the gene lock, how can he justify it?

His mother entered the hospital room and comforted him, saying don’t worry, there must be a way to save him.

Ren Xiaosu said yes, but in fact he knew in his heart that his life had already begun to count down, right?

Until one day, his father took him to another place to see a man called Dr. P. He said to Ren Xiaosu that he was very happy to see him.

The other party seriously said to Ren Xiaosu, “The Fire Seed Company has always been committed to cancer research, other patients did not succeed because they were not strong enough, but you are different, you opened the genetic lock.”

It turned out that the experience of opening the genetic lock gave everything a new turn.

……

TRX-001 Gene Potion.

TRX-007 gene potion.

ESK-001 gene potion.

WKP-003 Gene Potion.

Ren Xiaosu could not remember how many genetic agents he had been injected with, until one day he felt that his brain, which was gradually falling into chaos, suddenly became clear again.

The cells in his body began to break down one by one, and then reorganize one by one.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had once opened the gene lock, there was no way Ren Xiaosu would have been able to sustain himself through that period of time.

He began to feel the changes in the world, and could even feel the value of time in the scale.

Then, his consciousness actually began to float away, and along with it, his body also turned into powder bit by bit, at a slow but irreversible pace.

Ren Xiaosu’s thoughts were getting faster and faster, but he was desperate enough to realize that he wasn’t able to stop his body’s demise.

In the end, even the despair was gone.

The hospital room was clean and white, and the two small pets hiding in a glass case on the windowsill couldn’t hold his interest, Ren Xiaosu began to think about what the core of the world really was.

His gaze, as if he could see farther through the ceiling.

His consciousness, it seemed, was able to change the physical form of objects.

His mind began to be able to reach and hear the hearts of others.

So, at one point, he heard a little boy in the next ward, gently calling out to his brother in his heart.

……

One day, his father came to the fire research room alone, shoved a black stone into his hand and left in a hurry.

At that time no one knew what the black stone was or where it came from.

From that day onward, his consciousness no longer dispersed, and even those lost in the past were slowly coming back to him.

From that day onwards, he would fall into a dark chaos every night irresistibly.

Dr. P said, this is the adaptive mechanism in his body, the huge spiritual will that has no place to vent has to find an outlet, and now the body can no longer serve as its carrier, so Ren Xiaosu’s subconscious will help him find a way out.

Ren Xiaosu asks when he can stop enduring this headache and dark chaos.

Dr. P reassures him that it will be fine when he finds that way out.

This so-called way out is probably the way that will allow him to continue to exist in human form.

Dr. P said to Ren Xiaosu, “You can make an attempt yourself, there are gifted people in this world who are able to construct palaces for themselves to store their memories, you can also try to construct a palace to store your spiritual will, and then take it out of the palace when you want to use it.”

It was also because of the daily descent into dark chaos that Ren Xiaosu was continued to be kept in Lab 039 for treatment.

……

Dr. P suddenly made a request to Ren Xiaosu, “The little boy next door is dying, the gene potion is not working at all, and if he wants him to live he needs Ren Xiaosu’s help.”

Ren Xiaosu asked curiously, “What kind of help is needed.”

Dr. P said, “Your bone marrow needs to be transplanted to him.”

The HLA of the two sides did not actually match, meaning that the white blood cell antigens of Ren Xiaosu and that little boy did not have the basis for a transplant, but Dr. P had no choice but to hope for a miracle from the gods.

Ren Xiaosu asked, “A miracle created by the gods? Doctor do you also believe in gods.”

Dr. P shook his head, “The gods I’m talking about are not those beliefs that exist in the virtual, but you.”

Only later did Ren Xiaosu know that the little boy was Dr. P’s son, and the original purpose of the establishment of Lab 039 was to save his own son.

The HLA mismatch meant that the exclusivity would be enough to make the treatment fail, but Dr. P had no choice, he was going to take a gamble.

Ren Xiaosu agreed and he was wheeled into the operating room with the little boy.

When he awoke from the darkness a few hours later, he saw Dr. P’s tearful excitement, “It worked! It worked!”

Ren Xiaosu, as the first true god in this world, had really been hard to explain with existing science.

The god’s bone marrow was transplanted into another body, and then replaced the little boy’s original bone marrow to start restarting the blood-forming function.

The little boy next door didn’t even need to go through the pain of reorganization that he had gone through; the new body-making function would replace the old body all together in a short period of time in a metabolic manner.

There might be quite a few other people in this world who had once obtained the blood of a god through the Fire Seed Company, but this was the only one who had gotten the bone marrow of a god.

Ren Xiaosu smiled and asked, “What is his name?”

“He takes his mother’s name, Yan Liuyuan.”

After the surgery, Dr. P extracted 200cc of blood after obtaining Ren Xiaosu’s consent, and it was transported by an armed escort unit to the research base in the northern part of the Central Plains.

No one noticed that Ren Xiaosu had tried to feed her blood to the two small pets on her windowsill after the surgery.

Subsequently, the world collapsed, the calamity descended, and Lab 039 was buried deep underground.

The armed escort unit responsible for transporting the blood encountered earthquakes and landslides along the way, and in the end the survivors arrived at the research base with only three drops of blood.

These three drops of blood became the blood of the gods.

……

Ren Xiaosu opened his eyes in the tiny secret room under the water well.

It turned out that he had already known Yan Liuyuan at that time, and he thought that Yan Liuyuan must have gradually recovered his memories when he opened his own path to godhood.

That’s why Yan Liuyuan asked Ren Xiaosu: Brother, do you remember anything.

In fact, as early as two hundred years ago, the two of them had already been connected by blood.

It turned out that the palace in one’s mind was created by oneself.

The significance of its existence was to carry one’s own enormous spiritual will that had nowhere to be vented.

This palace carried a huge responsibility, it had to make Ren Xiaosu’s body gradually stronger until this body could eventually carry that huge spiritual will.

At the same time, it also had to make the final preparation: if Ren Xiaosu had to irreversibly become the World Will someday, then before that it had to make sure that Ren Xiaosu became a good person first, and then it could prevent human civilization from being directly pulled into the abyss by the World Will.

The palace had no consciousness of its own, which was Ren Xiaosu’s own subconscious claim, because his father Ren Wo had told him that the only thing he asked of him was to be a righteous person.

Ren Xiaosu had remembered everything, he had lived in that prosperous human civilization before the calamity, witnessing the rise and fall of cities where hundreds of meters tall buildings existed.

He had also lived in the era of unusually developed networks, and had even watched as the virtual network world was about to be born in the hands of Qinghe.

Standing on top of the wasteland and then looking back at everything in the past, that glorious human civilization actually made people want to shed tears of longing.

And at this moment Ren Xiaosu already knows very well what is sealed inside the palace.

He is not qualified to open that seal yet, or for Ren Xiaosu, he always feels that it’s fine for him to continue to be a human being, and if he really becomes a god one day, then his feelings for Yang Xiaoguan will also dissipate in this human world.

Just as Sister Xiaoyu had become Yan Liuyuan’s “anchor”, Yang Xiaoguan was now Ren Xiaosu’s “anchor”.

The significance of the existence of this emotion was to allow them to find their way back no matter where they went.

Therefore, although he had recovered his memories, Ren Xiaosu had not changed much in terms of his strength, except for the fact that he might talk a little more flirtatiously.

Today, Ren Xiaosu finally knew where he came from, and next he would start thinking about where he was going.

Ren Xiaosu looked towards Xiao Mei and Xiao Xia and said, “The two of you will hide here, and when I come to call out to you, you will come out again.”

Xiao Mei anxiously said, “Where are you going?”

“To end things in this Sorcerer’s Kingdom, of course,” Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, “It’s going to be a little different here after tonight.”

“And then,” Mei asked in a daze.

“And then?” Ren Xiaosu turned to Xia at that moment, “I will help the Holy Church clear all the obstacles, and in the process you will realize how powerful Fortress 178 is today. As for how to truly control this Sorcerer Kingdom in the future is up to you, today I, 178 Fortress, have formed an eternal alliance with you. In order to show 178 Fortress’s sincerity, I’ve decided to promise Xiao Mei to you, and we’ll consider this rounding up as a marriage.”

Xiaoxia: “???”

Xiao Mei: “Hmmmmmmmmmm?”

“Hey, hey, what promise of marriage or not,” Xiao Mei’s face changed dramatically, “And this kind of big event that subverts the wizard kingdom, shouldn’t you just talk to me directly?”

“Are you worthy,” Ren Xiaosu asked.

Xiao Mei thought for two seconds, “I’m not worthy ……”

Ren Xiaosu laughed twice then burrowed along the wall of the well before climbing back up onto the high dome of the Rose Abbey.

He looked over towards the distance, as he extracted the memory seal, Old Xu had already killed a bloody path for him.

But Ren Xiaosu wasn’t going to leave here, he was going to wait for more people to surround him.

In Ghent City, the Tudor Knights and Norman Family’s Knights of Light that converged over with their torches held high were like flowing streams that kept converging, and this neat street was the stream’s riverbed.

“United together,” Ren Xiaosu laughed.

When Winston City was attacked by Ji Zi’ang and the others, the Berkeley family head finally decided to put aside the civil war and join forces with the other families to resist the foreign enemies from Middle Earth together.

It wasn’t that the Berkeley Family Lord was so united, this southern generation lord knew very well that the Sorcerer Kingdom could never be united.

However, Middle Earth was too powerful nowadays, so powerful that they had to be wary!

Thus, he sent two teams of emissaries to the Norman and Tudor families respectively, sharing all information.

Although the Wizard Families had been raised for over a hundred years, it didn’t mean that they had completely raised themselves to be stupid.

Xiao Xia and Chen Jingshu, they thought that these people who suddenly appeared tonight were here to besiege the Holy Church, or perhaps to capture Russell’s descendants.

But in reality, tonight’s protagonists had nothing to do with the Holy Church and Russell from the very beginning.

The three sorcerer families had only one purpose, and that was to capture Ren Xiaosu.

Especially after the appearance of Old Xu’s white mask, the Tudor family had fallen into a frenzy.
