Chapter 298: Former Lord of Light
Ouyang Chong grinned, blood dripping onto the ground, "Come here."
Luo Li's face was cold, and she uttered a word, "Speak."
Ouyang Chong's eyes flashed, "I can say it, but after I finish speaking, you can't kill me."
As long as you are alive, there is hope. This is what Ouyang Chong has always known.
He wasn't afraid of being stepped on, he was just afraid...
die.
A death without dignity and that will not be remembered.
Luo Li raised her lips and tapped his neck with the tip of the gun, "If you can satisfy me..."
Ouyang Chong interrupted her, "You will be glad for this decision."
Luo Li's lips curled up slightly, but her eyes were like the deep sea, without a trace of smile.
Ouyang Chong took out an emperor-level pill and stuffed it into his mouth. Although the emperor-level pill was a drop in the bucket for his current injuries, it made him feel much better.
Luo Li watched from the opposite side with her arms folded, but did not stop him.
What's wrong with squeezing out every last bit of value from him?
Ouyang Chong leaned against the wall, lost in memories, and a plan had already been formed in his mind.
After a moment, he spoke in a deep voice, "Lan..."
Just as Ouyang Chong opened his mouth to say a word, a white streak of light appeared from nowhere and pierced through Ouyang Chong's heart before Luo Li could react.
'thump--'
After a loud bang, Ouyang Chong fell against the wall and then fell heavily to the ground.
Ouyang Chong stared at Luo Li, opened his mouth weakly, and his life was gone at a very fast speed, and he lost his breath after a moment.
Luo Li reacted quickly, her eyes dark and cold as she looked towards the empty and silent jade room, "Who is it!"
Her body suddenly went limp, and the strength she had been holding up suddenly gave out. She was about to fall to the ground, but a soft white divine power lifted her up and smoothed out the wounds on her body.
A white vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the originally empty jade room, and a vague figure could be seen faintly.
Luo Li was slightly startled, looked up, and met the golden-eyed man in the whirlpool from afar.
His mind went blank for a moment, leaving only those golden eyes.
Such brilliant eyes, as bright as the sun, all evil will be afraid of his eyes.
The vortex was clearly right in front of her, within her reach, but she felt that this person was so far away from her.
The man with golden eyes curled his lips slightly, "Luo Li..."
Luo Li stood up and asked, "You, recognize me?"
The man with golden eyes narrowed his eyes slightly, "I don't recognize you, but I have been waiting for you."
Luo Li frowned. The Lord of Light had said almost exactly the same words. What exactly did they mean?
She clenched her fist slightly, "Who are you? Why did you say you were waiting for me?"
"You can call me the God of Light..." The man paused, glancing sideways at the unconscious young man on the jade bed, his eyes slightly curved, "The previous God of Light."
Luo Li's eyes trembled, "The previous... Lord of Light?"
He turned his gaze towards the unconscious Lord of Light, "You are the one he was talking about..."
"Yes." The man nodded slightly, somewhat helplessly. "The situation was urgent at the time, and it was difficult for him."
Letting a young man who had been unruly and flamboyant since childhood be the chief priest was indeed a temporary measure at the time.
But I didn’t expect…
Luo Li coughed lightly, "Why didn't you show up just now?"
The former Lord of Light smiled slightly, "I came out this time mainly because I have something to give you."
Luo Li was stunned. "Nothing else you want to tell me? But the Lord of Light..."
The former Lord of Light's eyes were filled with tenderness as he gently interrupted her, "Luo Li, it's not the time yet."
Luo Li raised her hand and pointed at Ouyang Chong on the ground, "Why did you kill him?"
The former Lord of Light narrowed his eyes and said, "But you don't believe him either, do you?"
Luo Li pursed her lips. It was indeed like that. She was also thinking in the “what if” mentality.
She suddenly felt tired and said softly, "But the Lord of Light has told me something. Now that you're out, why not tell me everything?"
The former Lord of Light was somewhat helpless. "I handed over power too hastily at the time, and there were many things I didn't explain clearly to him. I also didn't expect that he would actually tell you everything he knew."
Luo Li's lips twitched, "You mean he has a big mouth."
The former Lord of Light was stunned for a moment, then figured out the meaning of the word, a smile flashing in his eyes, "That's probably what it means."
Luo Li sat down beside the jade bed and looked up at the man in the air. "So you really don't plan to tell me anything?"
The former Lord of Light nodded, "Yes."
Luo Li pressed her forehead and compromised, "So what are you going to give me when you come out?"
A flash of light appeared around the former Lord of Light, and he handed two things into Luo Li's hands.
Luo Li reached out to take them, and found that one was a very ancient space ring, and the other was a golden scepter with a token hanging on it.
She looked up, a little confused, "What is this?"
The man smiled slightly. "The space ring is something that the people who came with you need. It's up to you to decide whether to give it to them or not."
"As for the other item," the former Lord of Light sighed, "this is a token from the Lord of Light. I should have given it to him a long, long time ago."
Luo Li understood and said, "So, you want me to give this thing to him on your behalf?"
The former Lord of Light nodded, "I am indeed dead, but he is not. This remnant of his soul will one day give him a new body and lead the Light God Clan back to its peak."
Luo Li glanced at the Lord of Light lying on the jade bed and frowned slightly. "Creating a new body from a residual soul? That's too much of a stretch. At least, this kind of transcendental situation hasn't occurred in the Tianyuan Continent in the past ten thousand years."
The man's eyes were gentle. "Indeed, this is indeed beyond the scope permitted by the rules of heaven and earth, but you are different, Luo Li. When you are around him, you will soon be able to detect his changes."
The more Luo Li listened, the colder her expression grew. She said coldly, "You, him, and the many people I've met who are related to the War of the Gods, all of them are so ambiguous. It only makes me upset."
She chuckled, "Why, you guys are playing me around like crazy, do you think it's fun?"
The Lord of Light was slightly startled, a hint of panic flashing through his heart. "You know, that's not what I meant."
Luo Li secretly curled her lips, her expression still angry, "I think this is what you mean!"
"You all tell me I'm special, but you won't tell me why. Now you want me to save a remnant soul left over from ancient times. What? Am I a soul-nourishing jade?! Can I even give remnant souls flesh and blood?"
I have to say, even though she was pretending, Luo Li also felt a sense of release after a long time.
Sure enough, emotions cannot be suppressed in the heart, and it will feel much better if you express them out.
