Chapter 715 - The Mother Empress Repays a Kindness (2/2)

Even though everything he had done was useless, Yang Ling still hugged Yuna's cold body weakly. Yuna's voice and features emerged in his mind. His spouse was truly unlucky. Yang Ling's Wizard Core had suffered heavy damage, and his body was exhausted and powerless. Despair welled up in his heart.

He had always struggled hard and fought against the world to find the way back home. Even when he faced strong enemies, he never cowered, and he persisted in practicing strenuously. But at this moment, he understood that finding the Ancient Wizards' ruins was secondary; even becoming a Wizard God was secondary. The source of his happiness was lying next to him.

What was left for him to aspire to in life?

It was only after a loss that one really understood the importance of what they'd had and what they'd really pursued.

Hum!

The Mother Empress's large head appeared again over Yang Ling's head. Its sparkling tears dripped upon his face. They also fell upon Yuna's body. Magical Beasts were very sensitive, and it was especially the case for an inborn Wandering Divine Beast like the Mother Empress. It understood everything. When it had been hunted down by a large number of people from the various great factions, Yang Ling had helped it. It would remember forever this unusual human, especially his black eyes, which had seemingly witnessed the vicissitudes of life.

Swoosh!

After the Mother Empress cried irresolutely for a moment, it looked at the disheartened Yang Ling and the deadly injuries in his body. The sensitive Mother Empress took a deep breath and consumed a large amount of its Divine Power to spout out a mouthful of Vital Energy. This energy entered Yang Ling's body through the wound on his chest.

The Vital Energy was the essence of the Mother Empress's Godhead, and it was very powerful. It could be used to kill people, but it could also be used to save people.

Once the Vital Energy entered Yang Ling's body, he immediately detected it. It started moving within him according to some mysterious track. Wherever it passed, it nourished the damaged veins and internal organs. Even his seriously damaged Wizard Core slowly began to heal. The energy revolved cycle by cycle, moving ceaselessly. Yang Ling's Body Honing Wizard Mantra also started working by itself, healing his injuries at a higher speed. The disheartened Yang Ling subconsciously wove a Wizard Seal and silently recited a segment of a mysterious Wizard Mantra... After a while, Yang Ling opened his eyes slowly. His Wizard Core had recovered, and he'd also recovered most of his power. He still hadn't made a complete recovery, but his current state was completely different than before.

Hum!

The Mother Empress let out several soft cries and folded its wings. It laid next to Yang Ling and licked him several times. Yang Ling found it very dear. This might have been because he absorbed a mouthful of its Vital Energy. He took out some Golden Sore Drug that Alice had made from his spatial ring and smeared it gently on the Mother Empress's wounds, which hadn't yet formed scabs.

The Mother Empress had been hunted down ceaselessly by various great factions, and it had sustained serious injuries. This was especially true in the battle against Algernon Core Deity. After the Mother Empress spouted a mouthful of Vital Energy to treat Yang Ling's wounds, it became even more feeble. It didn't recover its power like Yang Ling. They were fellow sufferers, and this was why they empathized with each other. This was also why they found each other dear.

”Mother Empress, Mother Empress, the Mother Nest's empress.” As Yang Ling rubbed the Mother Empress's large head, his spirits lifted. He took out a large mountain-like black crystal from his spatial ring and started cutting it with his sharp blade. He quickly made a sparkling crystal coffin and carved an Ice Magical Formation Spell that would lower the temperature of the coffin's interior onto the lid. He strengthened it with several Restriction Spells before he put Yuna's body inside.

After most of his injuries healed, he recovered most of his power, and he felt spirited again. Everything had already occurred and ended, and regrets wouldn't be useful. The future was more important, and he had to focus on finding a way to revive Yuna's soul, as well as to take revenge against the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds.

According to what the Sound Demon, Chakali, had said, once a person died, his soul would travel to the Death Dimension. There was only a single method for a living person to enter the Death Dimension: asking the lofty Creator or the Unending Ocean's Heavenly Nun to use the Space-Time Wheel to create a passageway. It was extremely difficult to get the help of the Creator or the Heavenly Nun, but it wasn't utterly impossible. Heaven would never bar a man's way, and even if this path was more difficult than anything, Yang Ling would still walk down it to revive his beloved Yuna.

He would use any means possible to revive Yuna, and he would rather become an evildoer cursed by the mass than give up on his beloved. If he couldn't get the help of the Creator or the Heavenly Nun, then he would have to steal the Space-Time Wheel or come up with a way to practice to the peak of the Wizard God Stage in the shortest time possible.

A high-level Soul Wizard could pose a deadly threat to an ordinary Core Deity, which was why Yang Ling didn't believe that he would be unable to break the Death Dimension's Worldly Rules once he'd practiced to the peak of the Wizard God Stage.

Reviving Yuna was of the utmost importance, but Yang Ling still wouldn't forget that it was the City Amongst the Clouds' Lord who had caused everything.

The Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds' Lord was very powerful, and it was said that he was close to becoming an omnipotent Creator. Yang Ling surely wouldn't forget his oath to slaughter everybody in the City Amongst the Clouds. He wasn't yet a match for the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't be a match for him in the future.

Revenge is a dish best served cold!

If 10 years weren't enough, then he would take 100 years. If 100 years weren't enough, then he would take 500 years. The mysterious Wizard Pagoda still had 2 floors which he hadn't opened yet, and he still hadn't explored the 12 Skyreach Towers in the various Main Dimensions. Yang Ling believed that as long as he continued practicing hard, he would one day become a Wizard God, maybe even an apex Wizard God. One day, he would be able to trample the insufferably arrogant Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds.

Even if the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds became a lofty Creator, Yang Ling still believed that he could one day inflict carnage in the City Amongst the Clouds with his Magical Beast Army.
