2608 A Helpless Sigh 3 (1/2)

Meng Qiu blinked his eyes as he stared at the Spirit Tree, it was as if he wanted to imprint the face he's seen in this life as his final moment.

Silent tears slipped from his eyes.

Unwillingness, remorse, desperation, joy...

If he could tell the Spirit Tree earlier what he felt and thought, then... would everything not happen?

If he knew earlier that in the heart of the Spirit Tree he was actually so important, would he be reluctant to do all this?

”Ah...” Meng Qiu used his last sliver strength to open his mouth but he couldn't even form a word.

Under the eyes of the Spirit Tree, Meng Qiu's figure fluttered with the breeze and turned into tiny stars, as he forever disappeared into the Three Realms. Silent but with repentance which he realized as he died.

Sorry.

That was what Meng Qiu did not managed to say when he died.

The obsession within his heart made this loyal Spirit Envoy of thousands of years eventually embark on a path of destruction. However, unknown to him, everything he had done in his traitorous quest was already things that he had long possessed.

Long Jiu and Qin Song watched as Meng Qiu gradually disappeared and with that, the last bit of hate in their hearts also flew away with Meng Qiu's spirit.

It was until the moment Meng Qiu left, did they realized that Meng Qiu's request was not for the supremacy of the Three Realms, nor were the conditions given by the Upper Realm. From the beginning to the end, all he wanted was just a bit of attention and care from the Spirit Tree. He was willing to use the Contemporaneous Knot and buried it between himself and the Spirit Tree in order to tie his life and the Spirit Tree together.

He controlled the entire Soul World, but did not hurt the Spirit Tree.

His loyalty to the Spirit Tree had never changed. His faithfulness was only towards the Spirit Tree from beginning to end, not the Upper Realm, not the Soul World.
