C102 (2/2)
”Mo Ang!”
Gray Wolf growled softly, but he did not stop Mo Ang. Perhaps he also knew that he could not change his mind. The strong feeling of entanglement made his whole body tremble, and he tried his best to suppress the violence in his chest.
”Aooo!”
With a howl to the sky, Gray Wolf charged into the battlefield with bloodshot eyes, turning all his emotions into killing as he crazily bit at them … Mo Ang carried Sha Ying's corpse. He did not use any demonic power, but walked step by step like a mortal. I saw him cross the barren mountains, the woods, the streams, and on the vast desert of the South, walking away alone, despairing, helpless.
This was a tragedy. Perhaps in war, happiness could only exist for a moment. Happiness should not even exist in a battlefield filled with slaughter and blood.
Seeing this, Mo Ang's story was very different from what Grandpa Sun had told him. In Grandpa Sun's story, although it was also a tragedy, although Sha Ying still died, Mo Ang did not become a deserter, nor did he condense this roving dragon of a ancestor. Instead, he bravely killed his enemies, turned his grief into strength, and finally died in the battle of the Immortals and Demons.
I prefer to see the ending that Grandpa Sun told me about, not the end of this desolate and sorrowful ending. A deserter has too many things to carry, and with Mo Ang's way of doing things, he can only live with the scorn and curses of all demon clan members. Even if he dies, he won't be able to get rid of it.
Who knew how much time had passed, or whether the battle between the wolves in the canyon had ended, or what had happened to Sha Feng, or what had happened to Ouyang Zheng, none of them could figure out how much time had passed.
In the end, Mo Ang came to the Howling Wolf Mountain. Although the Monster race had a strong physical body, because they didn't use any demonic power, their feet were already dripping with blood. After walking so far away, she hadn't seen him frown even once. Perhaps the moment that Sha Ying died, she felt pain and it no longer existed.
At the top of Howling Wolf Mountain, Mo Ang used both of his hands to dig a hole. Tears that had dried up no longer appeared. He slowly put Sha Ying's body into the hole expressionlessly.
One cupped, two cupped … The dirt that covered Sha Ying's body did not only bury her, but also Mo Ang's dead heart.
His beloved wife, the tomb of Sha Ying!
The tombstone he erected was not the end, but the beginning. It was the beginning of Mo Ang's eternal doom!
As the sun set, the red clouds illuminated the tombstone, creating a faint sense of irony.
He had once made an oath, but at the same moment, one life and one death became the eternal farewell.
”Awoo — woo — —”
The final howl was like the end of a curtain. There was no unwillingness, no pain, and no resistance to fate. There was only longing, only pure love … Mo Ang, who would never turn into a wolf, used the posture of a human and let out the last of his thoughts. This was his own path, and his last choice.
At this moment, with the setting sun, the wind blowing by messed up Mo Ang's hair. He howled towards the sky and became eternal, turning into a cold and grey rock. In this desolate world, he had completed his final vow with Sha Ying … I don't know if he is dead or not, because my soul, or rather Grandpa Sun's soul, has left his body and returned to reality.
I closed my eyes and calmed down for a moment. After suppressing my complicated feelings, I slowly exhaled.
The hundreds of golden words in front of me slowly faded and eventually turned into a piece of ink, imprinting itself into my mind once more. Mo Ang's story seemed to be carved into my memory, becoming something that would last forever.
I was shocked and my Fate Soul immediately appeared. However, there was a tiny white wolf curled up inside of my Fate Soul's stomach!
In the story, it's not fake, it's not Grandpa Sun, it's me! I really did absorb Sha Ying's fate soul into my stomach to nurture it. Didn't fate souls only serve as a pair of eyes?
Could it be because of the six soul fragments? Is it because the level of my cultivation is currently too low, so in He Huan's story, I can only be a pair of eyes, or is it that the higher my cultivation, the closer I can slowly approach Grandpa Sun's complete Six Paths Soul Formation and experience the true story?
I immediately took out the six soul fragments' scrolls and tried to see the next level, but the fate soul wasn't strong enough and couldn't read the rest. I didn't even know how many levels it had. Also, there's the Art of Engraving Heaven. I can't see the specific cultivation method of the Sky Realm after I've entered the fake sky. Can it be that I can only take off this veil after I've truly stepped into the Sky Realm?
