Chapter 962: Chapter 470: May You Attain Immortality
"Moreover, if He is brave and wise enough to truly find it... I have a surprise waiting for Him."
Herbert smiled mischievously.
Want to guess how old Deng, who’s been holding back for so long, will treat a punching bag that suddenly intrudes on his turf?
Really hard to guess!
After sending away the rule-breaker behind the scenes, Herbert continued to watch the revenge drama he was so obsessed with.
And while he was conversing with the Divine, this revenge was nearing its end.
There was no dramatic reversal, no suspense.
Under the unforgettable hatred, things like "at the last moment, recalling beautiful memories and thus feeling compassion, unable to strike" do not exist.
If they do, then the hate isn’t deep enough.
The Crimson Thorn devoured all the blood, soul, and energy within the Withered, turning him entirely into a "withered corpse."
The bound undead finally completed its own revenge.
However, this revenge came at a cost.
The aura emitted from this epic thorn was rapidly diminishing, heading toward death.
Their lives had long been intertwined.
At the moment of achieving revenge, it also meant it was about to die.
Herbert lowered his gaze, silently watching this scene, landing beside the thorn.
There was a way to save it.
As long as Herbert was willing, he could use the leaves provided by Fulingya to infuse life and bring it back to life.
But he did not.
Not because Herbert was unwilling, but because... it was no longer necessary.
The Crimson Thorn actively rejected Herbert’s offer to save it.
"You have already saved me."
After achieving revenge, the will transmitted by the Crimson Thorn was unexpectedly calm, even peaceful.
"Please, don’t waste this precious power anymore."
"Moreover, I no longer wish to continue living."
It calmly accepted its own death.
Or rather, it was tired of living in this ugly world.
At the end of its life, the Crimson Thorn didn’t mention anything about the "Withered" to Herbert, not a single word.
That was its love and hate, its secret, unrelated to others.
Herbert didn’t inquire further, waiting for its last words, and he was willing to offer a little help to this unfortunate fellow.
However, the Crimson Thorn, already without regrets, made no requests but instead asked the one who saved it.
"Compassionate Great Being, may I know your name?"
Feeling the other party’s sincere and grateful emotions, Herbert, who originally didn’t want to leave a name that could become a trace, sighed.
"...Herbert."
And after saying this, Herbert paused and softly said, "But you must remember, the one who truly saved you is not me, but yourself."
If the remaining will of the Crimson Thorn hadn’t resisted, he wouldn’t have been able to assist in its revenge so easily.
Therefore, in this revenge, it was indeed the protagonist.
"Haha, you truly are a compassionate and gentle Divine."
The Crimson Thorn smiled, its gradually disintegrating will slowly conveying its final thoughts: "Rest assured, I will remember... I will always remember you."
"Thank you... you..."
And in the very end, the will of the Crimson Thorn suddenly grew extremely intense.
It was an intense belief that even the Divine would be impressed by, turning into an unreserved blessing that fell into Herbert’s soul.
"May your name of compassion be sung among all beings."
"May your gentleness never be betrayed by malice."
It blessed devoutly, like a prayer:
"May you remain immortal in the river of destiny."
!!?
And just when Herbert was shocked by this blessing, the Crimson Thorn resting on his hand completely lost its blood color, turning into withered branches, then silently shattered into dust.
Rustle...
When the remaining dust was gently blown away by the night wind in the forest at night, what remained in Herbert’s hand was only a seed emitting a faint aura.
A seed pure beyond any blood, hatred, or curse contamination.
One that...
could nurture an epic level magic plant.
