Chapter 382 - Chapter 382: Chapter 362: The Method of Awakening God Su (2/2)

“Lilian… don’t be afraid.”

Byrne tried to tightly grasp his daughter’s hands with both of his, as if by doing so he could stop the passage of time and preserve the fading flame of life, but reality, cold as the tide, shattered his hopes to pieces.

He felt a strong sense of loneliness and emptiness once again, for in this world, his daughter was one of the most precious parts of Byrne’s life, and her impending departure was like extracting half of his soul from his world.

“After stepping onto the 5th Rank, our lifespans become extended, you must accept these things…” Byrne muttered to himself, looking towards Chris outside the room.

He knew Vanessa’s lifespan probably wasn’t much longer either.

Vanessa’s core principle was “Justice,” and when she decided to sacrifice her principle for the sake of the Fischer family, she stopped progressing on the Path of World Order’s Power of Consecution.

In a sense, Vanessa too had sacrificed herself for the Fischer family…

Even the powerful expert Chris couldn’t prevent “that incident” from happening; Vanessa was growing more and more aged, and time would ultimately take every mortal being away, sooner or later.

“Father, do not grieve.”

Lilian slowly spoke, smiling as she said, “With the great Lord of the Lost there, He will surely protect my soul.”

Lilian quietly looked back upon her past, whether it was laughter or tears, success or setbacks, they had all become an indispensable part of this journey of life.

Her heart was filled with no regrets!

She knew well that it was these experiences that had shaped her, teaching her to be strong, brave, and to love the Gods.

And to be born a member of the Fischer family, becoming a High Priest capable of serving the great Lord of the Lost, was the most important thing in Lilian’s life.

What was most important was… Him.

The great Lord of the Lost had granted her every meaning of life!

Lilian believed that death was not an end but the start of a different form of existence.

“Father, my soul will forever be connected to this world, guarding the Fischer family I love in a new way.”

“You should feel happy for me.”

“I will go to another world to serve the great Lord of the Lost, I will become a warm light, illuminating the path for the future generations of the Fischer family.”

Lilian smiled serenely.

“No, Lilian, I will not let you go to Him so easily.”

Byrne’s eyes gradually became firm and resolute, standing at the blurry edge of life and death, he felt a surge of unparalleled strength and courage welling up in his heart.

It was always like this.

When facing the departure of a loved one, all the memories deep inside his heart were incredibly clear.

It caused immeasurable pain.

As if it was a deep-rooted curse.

Facing the cruel reality of Lilian’s imminent passing, Byrne made an important decision deep inside his heart—to make a deal with the Chairman!

Actually, a few years ago, the Chairman had hinted this to him.

“Byrne, as long as I use that ‘Stone,’ even if you help me, it won’t consume all of your lifespan.”

He had created the real “Stone” that could trigger incredibly miraculous events, even extending a person’s lifespan wasn’t impossible.

Over the years, Byrne had read many books on Mysticism, learning too much knowledge about the Claud World, and deep inside his heart, he knew the secrets and treasures that could extend someone’s lifespan were exceedingly rare.

He understood that besides seeking the Alchemy Council’s Chairman, there was simply no other way for him now.

Triggering a miracle?

Byrne thought of something else, perhaps the only thing in the world that was more important than saving his daughter.

“Maybe, I can use it to awaken the great Lord of the Lost?”
