When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 729 - 294 The Weakest of the Same Level_2

Old Qian had never seen Old Immortal so helpless and desperate. His heart was extremely heavy, and after thinking for a while, he said to Old Immortal, "Old man, you should quickly go back now and take your family to escape Everlasting Heaven. I will handle everything here and buy as much time as possible."

"What can you possibly stop with that broken Illusion Sword? The Commander could crush you with a single finger. What do you have to stop him? And where could we flee to? If the Commander wants us dead, even if we escape to The Ends of the Earth, we will still meet the same fate—death." Old Immortal said despondently, "Let's wait then. If Li Xiu doesn't wake up, our whole family might as well prepare to hang ourselves together. At least that would be quicker than trying to live without succeeding."

Old Qian had no solutions either and could only stand by Old Immortal to watch over Li Xiu, hoping that he would awaken.

But as time passed, Li Xiu showed no signs of waking up, seemingly sinking further into the Illusion Realm, with even a slight smile appearing on his face.

"Li Xiu, Li Xiu, you're really a plague. What were you doing messing with me for no reason?" Old Qian felt overwhelmed by sadness as he gazed blankly at Li Xiu.

As he watched, Old Qian suddenly sensed something amiss.

The smile on Li Xiu's face grew stronger, raising a hint of doubt in Old Qian's heart.

He had practiced the Illusory Sword for so long, and although he had just reached the Realm of Life Illusion, he had used it to kill more than a dozen demon spirits. None of those demon spirits trapped in the Realm of Life Illusion ever had a smile like Li Xiu.

Although he said that the true Life Illusion Realm could make people so deeply immersed, unable to extricate themselves, knowing well that it was an illusion yet unwilling to leave.

But he himself had not reached such a level. The expressions on the faces of the demon spirits he killed with the Illusory Sword were all contorted and terrifying, as if they were facing something extremely horrific, unlike the smiling Li Xiu.

Old Qian didn't think it was because his Life Illusion Realm had suddenly become perfected and that he had truly reached the highest level of the Life Illusion Realm.

"Impossible…" Old Qian seemed to have thought of something but dared not trust his judgement, staring fixedly at Li Xiu.

After watching for a while, Old Qian's gaze turned towards Old Immortal and then back to Li Xiu.

The smile on Li Xiu's face remained, while Old Immortal still wore a worried expression.

"It can't be!" Old Qian became increasingly suspicious.

He hadn't reached such a level himself, but when he explained to Li Xiu, he had outlined the theoretical highest level of the Life Illusion Realm, meaning only Li Xiu knew what the pinnacle of the Life Illusion Realm was.

Realizing this, Old Qian's eyes became extremely complex when looking at Old Immortal again.

Old Immortal said anxiously, "Stop pondering and try to think of a way to wake him."

Old Qian sighed inwardly. This was the old man he wanted to see, but the real old man would never show such an expression or express his emotions this way.

Since childhood, the old man had always had a smiling demeanor, as if not even the sky falling could erase his smile.

Old Qian recalled once when, as a child, he followed Old Immortal into the Land of Trial, where Old Immortal left him to face a demon spirit of a higher level alone.

That time, Old Qian almost died at the hands of the demon spirit, yet Old Immortal was completely indifferent, not showing any urgency, never restraining his smile, as if Old Qian's death didn't matter at all.

After that, Old Qian understood that whatever happened, he had to face it by himself. No one would help him.

Old Qian grew up this way, developing independent personality and thinking ability, always using his own methods to solve problems, seeming to mature overnight capable of facing any difficulty alone after that day.

Yet deep inside, Old Qian hoped that Old Immortal could care for him like a normal father.

Old Qian watched Old Immortal's anxious face, sighed softly, and after a deep glance, the Illusion Sword arose from nothing in his hand, striking toward Old Immortal.

Old Immortal's figure suddenly shattered, and the surroundings seemed subtly different. Although still in front of the Sword Soul Gate, Old Qian felt a cool breeze on his skin.

Li Xiu stood still, smiling as usual, but this time Li Xiu spoke.

"You're awake." Li Xiu looked at Old Qian, smiling warmly.

"I didn't expect that Commander Li would also excel in the Life Illusion Realm, surpassing me." Old Qian chuckled bitterly, "Was Commander Li's purpose here merely to tease me?"

"Old Commander asked me to recruit you into the technicians' group, so I came to see you." Li Xiu replied.

"I appreciate Commander Li's goodwill, but there's no need. I'll handle matters with the old man myself." Old Qian frowned.

Li Xiu continued nonchalantly, "Previously, Old Commander wanted to use a Super Spirit Gemstone to persuade me to join my technicians' group. I didn't agree."

"I wasn't aware that the old man would invest so heavily in me. What did he offer Commander Li in the end to make you willing to come?" Old Qian asked.
