CH 85.2

The old man was really getting younger at a slow pace.

Every time he ate a heart, he would become ten years younger.

“Want to resurrect?” The old man picked up the third heart, and he laughed lightly. “Do you think it is easy to resurrect after falling under the curse of the Undead race? Do you think the gods’ curse is some kind of trick?”

Wen Ziqing hurriedly said, “I don’t need to resurrect to the point of living and breathing, as long as my heart can beat.”

As long as the heart starts beating, the system will probably re-determine him as alive.

When Bai Lixin collects the four races’ secret treasure, he could follow them and return to the game lobby.

The game lobby can heal all injuries, so he would come back to life.

Wen Ziqing, “I heard that you are the most mysterious and oldest magician in the whole continent. You must have a way, right?”

The oldest magician? Is he the “Emperor”?

With the third heart down, the old man’s skin had become tighter, and his appearance was no longer so ghastly. He now looked like a strong forty-year-old man.

But he didn’t seem to be satisfied, and he continued to pick up the fourth heart.

“There is a way,” the old man said, no, the middle-aged man smiled disdainfully. “One day, the destined one will baptize the green with the rain of light. He is as passionate as a newborn yet as wise as an old man. He is young, yet very old, and he has the blood of the gods.”

The man swallowed the fourth and fifth heart in one gulp, and his face underwent a marked change.

The old man, who was on the brink of death a moment ago, had now completely transformed into a young man who looked to be in his twenties.

He looked delicate and handsome, but his pure white eyes seemed unfocused, like a blood-stained spider lily, full of the smell of decay and death.

The young man looked into Wen Ziqing’s eyes with a pair of pure white pupils.

“Find the destined one and get his heart. His divine blood will make your heart beat for a short time. But weren’t you a human not long ago, right? Do you dare to eat the heart?”

“What’s so bad about it? I’ve done more appalling things. What do I care about this?” Wen Ziqing’s voice reached Bai Lixin’s ears. “The Destined One? I know that person.”

The young man, “Then where is he now?”

Wen Ziqing, “I don’t know yet. But I do know that there is a place where he will definitely go! He has a mission, and he will definitely go to look for the secret treasure of the human race. As long as we stay next to the secret treasure, we can capture him. Where is the secret treasure of the human race?”

Bai Lixin pricked up his ears.

The young man stuck out his red tongue and licked the corner of his lips, “So that’s how it is. Thank you for telling me so much.”

Wen Ziqing’s voice rose with excitement, “Now that you know, what are you waiting for? Let’s hurry up and set off. Bai Lixin is very shrewd, and he must be on his way to the secret treasure now.”

“Of course we’re going,” the young man propped himself up on the table and stood up. Under Wen Ziqing’s surprised eyes, he suddenly pointed at Wen Ziqing’s eyes and said, “But it’s not ‘we’, only ‘I’.”

Wen Ziqing’s perspective suddenly went dark, and in the darkness, he could hear the young man’s voice echoing in his ears.

“You know so many of my secrets, so you certainly can’t appear there.”

“The heart of the Destined One can restore the Undead’s heartbeat, and of course, it can make me eternally young. There is only one Destined One, so what makes you think I’m willing to give up my heart to you?”

Wen Ziqing’s perspective completely blacked out and finally disappeared.

Bai Lixin opened his eyes and saw that Dijia’s face had become very gloomy.

Dijia, “The person passed out, so the magic disappeared with him.”

Bai Lixin found that Dijia’s expression was ugly and also carried another expression similar to doubt.

The two returned the way they came, and on the way, Bai Lixin asked, “You seem to have something on your mind?”

Dijia, “That person looks like someone I know.”

“Do you remember the human magician I told you about? The one who picked me up? I suspect that this man may have some connection with my master.”

“Although it’s a bit inappropriate for me to say this,” Bai Lixin looked at Dijia’s tangled expression and continued, “Is it possible that he is your master?”

Dijia frowned even more, “My master was sick and died. I buried him with my own hands. But my master was a magician after all, and faking his death is something that can easily be done.”

“But it’s been nine hundred years since that era. How is it possible that he’s lived nine hundred years?”

Bai Lixin, “Maybe it’s just me thinking too much. Don’t take it too seriously.”

“No,” Dijia shook his head. “I suspected it while looking through Wen Ziqing’s eyes, but I am unsure in my heart.”

“That person returned to youth by devouring the hearts, so it is not impossible to live nine hundred years.” As the two spoke, they had already walked to the stairway and returned to the area with the people.

“What kind of a person was your master?”

As the two walked down the steps, the surrounding voices also began to be noisy. In order to let Bai Lixin hear clearly, Dijia put his mouth close to Bai Lixin’s ear. “It’s been so long and my memory is a little blurred. I do not remember much about him, only that he taught me a lot of magic.”

—

There were many more people in the hall than before. They nimbly weaved through the crowded tide of people and soon found Xia Chi and the rest.

Xia Chi, “Brother, where were you just now?”

Bai Lixin, “We saw Wen Ziqing and followed him to the second floor.”

Xia Chi and the rest had mysterious expressions, as if they had to tell Bai Lixin something.

Xia Chi even secretly poked Bai Lixin’s sleeve and gave him a look.

Bai Lixin immediately understood, and followed the three to the end of a corridor without a road. Xia Chi whispered, “Brother, I was wandering around this area and had a sudden flash of inspiration, so I moved my hands over this wall.”

He said while moving his hand and his fingers poked into the wall a few times, “and found this.”

The original solid wall opened to the sides like an elevator.

Bail Lixin: “……”

Xia Chi’s crystal clear eyes looked at Bai Lixin expectantly. Bai Lixin was momentarily speechless and finally squeezed out a “good job, protagonist.”
