Condemning the Heavens-Chapter 636

Chapter 636

636 Determination

The atmosphere had become downcast, as Xue Wei and the others felt an uncomfortable pressure and heaviness in their hearts. They all knew that Luoluo’s decision had saved their lives, but this knowledge only succeeded in making them feel weak and useless. Why would their good friend have to sacrifice for their future?

However, they could not change the past, and thus their only option was to keep fighting to gain strength. With enough power, they would be able to protect her as she grew up once more.

“Her sacrifice will not be in vain.” Hei Gou’s eyes were full of complex emotions. He still had no actual memories of the past, but the time he had been in No Man’s Land alongside this group of experts, he had found that he did not need his past memories. From their short time of getting along with one another, he had understood many things and respected them as his friends and companions.

Seeing that Luoluo was willing to give up her spirit for their future, he now knew how important they were and how much they valued one another. To him, having these friends was a blessing, and he was willing to follow them to the end of the world. Even if his end was no different from the brave little flowerspirit, he would face it with his head held high and no regrets.

“We have to keep moving forward. No matter what the purpose of this tunnel is, the one who build it is also the one that caused the numerous malicious emotions to gather and take form. The least we can do is destroy everything around us.” Xue Wei’s voice was calm, but it contained an iciness that made the others shudder.

Although none of them cried or despaired, they all knew that this time, things were different.

They had encountered many things during the last short time. Hei Gou had lost his memory, Bai Tianyi had become corrupted, and Xue Wei had lost his spiritual energy. However, all of these were possible to handle, but the loss of Luoluo’s spirit was too harmful.

“Up until now, although the world has been hostile towards us, our lives have actually been smooth-sailing.” Bai Tianyi could not help but shake his head with a bit of depression.

When he had first attempted to turn into a spirit, his goal had been to become immortal, but only now did he understand that life was not something that could be extended for eternity without a certain price.

.....

His core had been corrupted before, and although Xue Wei had sacrificed his spiritual energy to purify him, he knew that it would be easy for him to become corrupted once more. This was the same as making him a fragile spirit that could easily become crippled.

At the same time, Xue Wei’s strength had also been lowered drastically, and Hei Gou’s strength was bigger, but his memories were gone. Their current life was in danger at all times, and they were placed in one perileous situation after another.

“Well, the world might be against us, but we will never give up. Although we have been saying that we will fight to the end, I think that it is not before now the real truth of our situation is in front of us.

“However, at the same time, I also think that this sudden wake-up call is making us stronger. We are no longer fighting purely to stay alive, but our responsibility has grown. Luoluo was willing to sacrifice her spiritual core for us, but now we have to fight for her future. She deserve to become a spirit once more.” Ling Xiao was usually the most casual and cheerful in their group, but he was also the kind of person that understood loyalty.

He was a person that believed in what he witnessed and his own morals over what the rest of the world tried to make him see. As such, he knew that something had changed now. Before their enemy was hidden, and they held some hostility towards this unknown villain that had planned against them for their entire lives, however now, they hated the one responsible for Luoluo’s sacrifice.

“Perhaps our hatred is able to make us reach other heights in the future, but never let these emotions control us. I do not want us to let go of who we are for success. Luoluo would not want us to sacrifice ourselves for revenge.

“If needed, we will take a step back and regroup. The villain has spent so much time preparing. We will give him the fight that he clearly is waiting for.”

Xue Wei was also feeling that the helplessness and unwillingness he had felt before was slowly dissipating, and instead, a great determination rose within. Even if he had to die, he would make sure to do as much damage as possible along the way.

“Leave any kind of explosive inscription you have on the ground as we progress forward. When we find the end, we will blow up this tunnel. Although we can’t know for sure what purpose it has, since it was part of the reason for Luoluo’s death, let it be destroyed.”

“Yes!” Bai Tianyi, Hei Gou, and Ling Xiao all agreed with Xue Wei, as they found various inscriptions hidden deep within their storage treasures. Hei Gou even found some kinds of explosives he had been tinkering with in the past, and all of these were slowly being placed in the tunnel as the group moved forward.

Unlike before, they no longer held a worried and helpless attitude but were stubborn and determined. They had to ensure that Luoluo would wake up again later, and to do so, they had to provide a safe environment. They had to fight this hidden enemy.
