The Old Gods

Chapter 1029: Dawn Blood Oath

Lu Xing had far too many questions in his mind.

What kind of existence is your own child?
He performed such a heaven-defying act to bring himself back to the human world from the realm of the dead.

The son felt it was perfectly natural to be able to freely manipulate divine and evil sculptures to supply him with energy, as if he were the leader of all gods and demons.

Lu Ran spoke again about the soul, which, if I understand correctly, refers to the soul of a deity.
Where did the Gods and Demons Sculpture Garden come from, and who exactly is the Immortal Sheep?
What has Lu Ran experienced in the past ten years?
The father and son talked all night.

From when Lu Ran went to the capital at the age of 13 to when he returned to Yuxiang at the age of 16.

He entered Holy Spirit Mountain at the age of 19, ascended to the Heavenly Realm at the age of 21, and unified the ranks of gods and demons at the age of 23.

He was in charge of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Commanding all the gods and demons in the sky.

Lu Xing felt as if he were listening to a fairy tale, or as if he were having an unrealistic dream.

Although it is said that heroes have emerged from among the young since ancient times.

But Lu Ran is still too young for his current level.
The sky gradually brightened.

The morning glow painted the sky red, and its light fell upon the young man, as if draping him in a legendary aura.

It is indeed a legend.

Youth are pioneers who create new worlds and achieve things that will shake the ages.

Lu Xing clearly realized that his child had made an extraordinary contribution, which was beyond what a father could be proud of.

I can only look up to them.

With the highest respect.

Like all living beings, we are grateful for the blessings and protection of the Lord of the Burning Gate.

"How do you feel knowing that gods and demons are in cahoots, working together to weave lies and enslave all living beings?"

Lu Ran sat in a corner of the rooftop, leaning against the stone railing, his gaze passing through his father's enormous afterimage as he looked towards the eastern sky ablaze with the glow of dawn.

Lu Xing remained silent, having too much information to process.

At this point in time, his focus was on Lu Ran, not on anything else.

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Now, if I say that Ruyi ascended to the altar by stepping on the bones of Yu Fu, you won't be offended, will you?"

Lu Xing shook his head.

All loyalty and reverence for the jade talisman vanished the moment the gods struck.

He remained puzzled as to why the gods treated a devout believer in this way.

Only now do I realize that I am a victim of the struggle.

It was all because of his wife, who stood at the pinnacle of humanity.

Wife, children.
Each one of them was more radiant than the last.

It's better if I die myself.

I at least shielded Ranran and Xiaoyuanxi from a difficult situation.

There's nothing to complain about. She tore apart the colossal lie of gods and demons, giving her all to change this suffering world.

What's wrong?

Lu Xing composed himself and slowly said, "Our enemies also include the Faceless Jade Venerable, and gods and demons from other war zones."

“The extraterrestrial gods and demons are not a concern; they will submit. Heh, they have already begun to submit.” Lu Ran snorted, his tone becoming much more serious. “But the Faceless Jade Venerable is different.”

Lu Xing nodded.

During their conversation that night, the child spoke highly of the Faceless Jade Vessel whenever it was mentioned!

This is not just about valuing it, but about showing it with utmost respect.

"You know the fighting power of Blood Skull. In the next few days, focus on improving your cultivation, transform into an evil god as soon as possible, and adapt to the evil methods of this sect."

As he spoke, Lu Ran turned his gaze from the morning glow to his father's lingering image: "I need you, I really need you."

“Okay!” Lu Xing’s expression was extremely solemn.

It's less of an agreement and more of a promise.

Looking into that extremely serious gaze, Lu Ran's smile grew even brighter.

In the past, my father had mostly spent this night in silence.

Although his facial expressions were relatively well-controlled, Lu Ran could sense his father's various emotions: confusion, shock, and helplessness.

Throughout, however, there was a deep sense of guilt. The more brutal Holy Spirit Mountain became, and the more life-or-death the battle between gods and demons, the more oppressed he felt.

Now, it seems that the father has found a chance to catch his breath.

The journey of the Burning Gate is not over yet.

There's an even more dangerous mission ahead! But this time, he can be by his son's side.

Try to fulfill the responsibilities of a father.

“If there’s nothing else, you can go back to the garden.” Lu Ran stood up, supporting himself on the stone railing. “Tomorrow or the day after, once your Evil Body advances to the peak of the Heavenly Realm, I will give you your divine soul.”

Lu Xing nodded silently, knowing that time was of the essence.

A massive afterimage surged toward Lu Ran, continuously converging before his pupils.

When only Lu Ran remained on the rooftop, he gazed at the rising sun in the east and took a deep breath.

That's a very good omen.

"Shu~"

Lu Ran's figure flashed and he appeared directly in his home, where he could smell the aroma of food.

He arrived at the kitchen door and saw the tall, graceful figure in front of the counter. Looking at the table full of dishes, he was both amused and exasperated.

Last night, when Lu Xing said he wanted to talk to Lu Ran, Jiang Ruyi said goodbye and left.

It seems she hasn't been idle since she came back.

“I’m back.” Jiang Ruyi didn’t turn around.

Lu Ran teleported behind her, placed his hands on the kitchen counter, and pulled her into his arms. He looked at the steaming beef soup in the casserole and said, "Eating such hearty dishes so early in the morning?"

"I didn't know what Uncle liked to eat, so I made it according to your taste."

"He's currently advancing in the competition, so he probably won't get to enjoy the food."

"Okay, then let's eat," Jiang Ruyi said nonchalantly.

The breakfast was so lavish because Lu Xing had been dead for over ten years and had been imprisoned in the money for his rebirth.

Jiang Ruyi could not truly understand those dark and long years, and could only speculate in her heart that the other party might want to taste the flavor of human food.

Since the situation doesn't allow it, then forget it.

As long as Lu Ran likes to eat it.

“It seems you two are having a good chat.” Jiang Ruyi turned around in the small circle, observing the young man’s expression.

I'm happy for you.

"Ok?"

"This is Blood Skull, the leader of the Great Xia Demons! Her Majesty the Empress has gained another top-tier general, making our sect even stronger."

"Go away." Jiang Ruyi spat lightly.

Lu Ran chuckled: "Emperor Lu sounds better, Emperor Xing doesn't sound quite right?"

If it's this kind of "punishment," then it'll fit in perfectly.

Or perhaps we could borrow the name Blood Skull and call him Blood Emperor?

Ugh, that sounds kind of scary.

"Let's eat first." Jiang Ruyi knew all too well Lu Ran's talent for naming things, and she was going to struggle with it for a while.

Soon, the two sat down at the table.

Jiang Ruyi suggested, "Your head must be buzzing, right? Should we send Uncle to Little Phoenix's place?"

Lu Ran shook his head decisively: "The Blood Skull Necklace is still inside Little Blazing Phoenix's belly. Let's not let it see the scene of its former master's soul being devoured."

In a few days, I'll have my dad, as the new Bloodskull, go and subdue the necklace.

"Okay, that's fine too."

"Don't worry, it's just a tremor from an evil sculpture; there's no problem with transmitting sound." Lu Ran naturally understood Jiang Ruyi's intention.

Now that Father has been successfully resurrected, it means that Lord Immortal Sheep has some free time.

Today, I have completely taken control of the Great Xia God and Demon camp and fulfilled my previous agreement with Lord Immortal Sheep.

Mr. Yang
It's time to reveal its mysterious identity.
