Chapter 692: Chapter 12 Hidden Dragon Society and Opening of the Secret Realm (10,000+)
“Resurrection? The True Saint is going to resurrect your child?” Upon hearing Hong Ling’s words, Huang Yue couldn’t help but exclaim, as something that only two people knew had become known to everyone.
“Yes, it is the will of the True Saint. He also told me that if the body still exists, it might be a bit easier.”
Hong Ling’s admission plunged the surroundings into silence.
Eventually, Huang Yue carefully broke the silence, “Hong Ling, although it might be offensive to ask, hasn’t your child been dead for several years?”
Hong Ling’s expression dimmed for a moment before responding, “Yes, it has been over four years. At that time I was desperate. If not for the True Saint, I might still be living in pain… He said there was a chance, but I never imagined it could be achieved so soon.”
“Resurrect… Can it really be done?”
“The True Saint has said it, so it must not be false. The True Saint is already on his way here,” Hong Ling replied without any doubt.
Quickly, she shifted her thoughts, “But my child’s body has already returned to the sky… I wonder if it will have an impact.”
The Winged People Clan practice cremation, returning to the sky after cremation.
At that moment, it was Huang Yue comforting Hong Ling, “It’ll be fine. Didn’t you say it yourself? It just might be a bit easier, which means there shouldn’t be any problems even if the body is no more.”
Hong Ling felt considerably more reassured by these words.
She didn’t distrust the True Saint, but when it came to her own child, she couldn’t help but worry.
The two of them didn’t really want to spread the word about the True Saint’s imminent arrival, but it was a matter difficult to conceal.
By the time Wang Sheng arrived, the Imperial City of the Winged People Empire, which was now the temporary office of unity, had already gathered many of the Winged People.
Every one of the Winged People was extremely curious about the True Saint of the Lifeless Sect.
Especially since some knew that the True Saint could resurrect.
“True Saint!”
The moment Wang Sheng appeared, even without anyone pointing it out, everyone recognized him.
“Is this the True Saint? Simply standing there, one can feel the divinity.”
As a Ninth Realm being, Wang Sheng did not conceal his presence, making his aura extremely distinct.
Wang Sheng approached Hong Ling.
“True Saint!”
Hong Ling was extremely emotional, struggling to control herself.
“No need to be overly formal. Is your child’s body still here?”
“I’m sorry, True Saint, my child has already been embraced by the sky,” Hong Ling replied, still feeling somewhat apologetic, despite the earlier comfort.
“No matter, take me to the last place your child was seen.”
“Yes.” Filled with excitement, Hong Ling led Wang Sheng to a street, “True Saint, my child was taken from here by someone…”
Wang Sheng nodded, not saying much, and began his work. This time, he did not directly invoke Time Retrospection but combined it with the Time Dice.
The Time Dice, a force linked with time.
On the way here, he had a sudden inspiration to experiment and found that using the Time Dice in conjunction with his abilities significantly reduced the cost.
Of course, the exertion of power was much greater.
But using up power was not an issue.
Wang Sheng manipulated the Time Dice and time began to reverse. Within the endless river of time, as Wang Sheng’s lifespan began to be consumed, a small figure of the Winged People appeared, bearing grave injuries as if on the brink of death.
“This must be your child, right?”
Hong Ling and Huang Yue had followed him there, and upon seeing this scene, they were so astonished they couldn’t speak.
Even a hint of the terrifying aura from the river of time felt like it could crush them.
But Hong Ling was jolted by Wang Sheng’s words and immediately answered, “Yes, True Saint, this is my child!”
“Good!”
Wang Sheng exerted even more power, turning into a giant hand that reached into the heavens, directly pulling Hong Ling’s child from the river and in that instant, healing the child’s wounds.
Just before death, Hong Ling’s child’s injuries were severe, but that was only to lesser beings. In reality, any Third Realm being could have treated them.
Boom!
With a roar from the river, Wang Sheng withstood the cost.
Hong Ling’s child appeared unharmed with a baffled look in her eyes; her memory seemed to still linger on the moment she sustained serious injuries.
Now, not only was her body unharmed, but she also seemed healthier than before.
However, it wasn’t long before the river of time’s correction came, not to take her away, but to grant her memory.
She realized she seemed to have come back from the dead.
Being young and inexperienced, she had no idea what this meant.
But it didn’t take her long to notice her mother was there too.
“Mama!”
She quickly threw herself into her mother’s arms.
Though her memory had been corrected by the river of time, part of the fear of death still lingered in her heart, along with the unresolved longing to see her mother before dying, making her even more dependent.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng said, “Pay attention to psychological counseling going forward. Don’t let her think too much about it. Of course, there’s no need to worry too much. Time will slowly correct it.”
After resurrection, death was no longer a reality. Under the subtle influence of the river of time, the psychological issues of Hong Ling’s child would gradually fade.
Hong Ling, holding her daughter, wept with joy.
Hearing the True Saint’s voice, she and her daughter knelt together, wanting to express their gratitude.
“There’s no need for too much thanks. This is a reward you rightfully deserve.”
At this point, Hong Ling had become a true Fanatic, one of their most devoted Believers.
“The rest is for you to handle!”
With Hong Ling’s child revived, naturally, there was nothing else to do.
Wang Sheng left after that.
