Chapter 652: You two have won

Cai’er looked at Long Haochen with deep emotion, “So what; with my heart being together with him, having him resurrect is already enough for me. I am willing to die for his sake. Don’t tell me you have another heart at disposal here aside from mine? All I am asking is for him to be resurrected.”

Elux became silent, his eyes showing struggles, but right now, Cai’er, whose attention was focused onto Long Haochen, just didn’t notice it.

“If only that girl I had met at those times was like you… maybe none of that would have happened. Perhaps I would have just followed her in death. Even if everything ends with death, at least that would be a happy ending.”

The words that Elux murmured woke Cai’er up with a start. Lifting up her head, she insisted, “Please use my heart…”

Elux suddenly interrupted her, “Child, don’t be hasty. How about it, let’s make a bet. If you win, I will help you to resurrect him, but if you lose, just give up on him, and concentrate all your thoughts and efforts in inheriting my power. Although I do not like the purifying attribute on you, I like your character.”

“I am not taking the bet.” Cai’er shook her head vigorously, “There’s no way I can take a bet with him as the stake, because I cannot afford to lose.”

Elux replied coldly, “Then it cannot be helped for you.” This instant, he really had the imposing manner of the Holy Necromancer Elux.

In a wave of his hand, Cai’er felt extremely tense all over her body, already out of control of her whole body, and even the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand was suppressed, returning back into her own body.

Pulled by the golden light, she was pulled to Elux’s side. Immediately, the surroundings twisted all around, and everything transformed miraculously, turning illusory, yet substantial.

Cai’er discovered with stupor that she was not only unable to move, but also unable to let out the slightest sound, and was unable to exert the slightest bit of spiritual energy. It seemed that her very soul was frozen.

Elux remained afloat on her side, dispersing layer upon layer of bright light. On Long Haochen’s side appeared another Cai’er, with a hole in her chest and having lost her heart.

Immediately, his right hand pointed its forefinger on Long Haochen’s body in a touch. Then the wounds on his body healed up at an astounding speed. In the midst of intense fluctuations of golden light, the Golden Foundation Armor on him was removed, and under Cai’er’s emotional watch, Long Haochen’s pale skin gradually regained color.

All of it was really too miraculous. Elux just needed a lift of his hand to bring Long Haochen back to life.

Elux’s voice resounded in Cai’er’s mind, “I have temporarily simulated the situation where he would be brought back to life. Now guess, what will his reaction be when he learns that your heart was used to resurrect him?”

Cai’er’s original feelings of excitement turned instantly. She struggled as much as possible against Elux’s binding, but how could it be so easy to resist in front of this man who was previously known as humankind’s disaster who narrowly caused humanity to go extinct? There was nothing she could do except for looking on helplessly at that instant of resurrection, at Long Haochen in the midst of trembling.

So cold! Long Haochen felt as if he was soaked in a pond of ice, shivering with extreme cold. The deathly stillness in his brain gradually rose and fell, and he felt chills in succession, and was roused by the cold.

A golden expanse came to his sight, as the intense light essence caused the chills felt by his body to decrease sharply.

Where is this? Hell?

Subconsciously, Long Haochen placed his hand onto his own chest, finding out astonishingly that the hole in his chest had disappeared, and that he felt an indistinct heartbeat, and had the sensation of blood flowing through his body. Only, his powerful cultivation was obliterated completely, and faint waves of weakness assaulted his brain again and again

“Are you awake?” An aged voice drew Long Haochen’s attention, who immediately noticed that huge coffin and the soul floating in the sky.

“You are? And what’s this place?” Long Haochen asked reflexively. Right now, he still felt dizzy, but the ice-cold sensation all over his body subsided gradually, and the thick light essence in the air helped him feel better. The spiritual energy in his body also seemed to slowly recover thanks to absorbing the light essence, and at long last it felt a lot warmer.

“This is the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity. And I believe that you must know who I am right?” Elux asked in a faint voice.

Long Haochen became greatly alarmed, and immediately sobered up, “What? This is the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity? But then, just how, how… How did I get here?”

Elux pointed to his side, and replied calmly, “She’s the one who brought you here.”

Long Haochen followed his finger, and immediately became stagnant. His mouth agape, and eyes staring confusedly, he suddenly found himself unable to let out the slightest sound, as if his body was locked down, remaining motionless.

That… that was Cai’er. A Cai’er with a hole in her chest and whose blood was flowing all over the ground.

Having lost all vitality, Cai’er looked as pale as a piece of paper.

Cai’er! Cai’er! How could my Cai’er…?

Long Haochen stayed so stiff for several seconds, totally motionless.

Elux’s voice reverberated through his ears, “She has been carrying the Eternal Melody I have given you, and been shouldering your corpse, going through the challenges in the Tower of Eternity one after another. She said that you were my successor, and that she wanted to bring you back to life. You should clearly know how you died. Having lost your heart, even my magic cannot resurrect you without a live and fresh heart. So she offered her own heart to you.”

“NOO!!” Long Haochen looked up to the sky, and kneeled down to the ground, throwing himself at Cai’er and tightly gripping her tight figure, his tears falling beyond control.

Cai’er’s corpse was really cold. Long Haochen felt as if the blood flowing in his body froze down this instant.

“How could you be so stupid Just how could you be so stupid Cai’er, don’t tell me that you believe that I can keep on living by myself with you dead?”

Suddenly turning back, Long Haochen looked at Elux, “Elder, please give her heart back to her. You must have a way to do that right? Please bring her back to life!!”
