Honghuang: I am Qitian and I want to fight for the throne

Chapter 487 The Soul Returns, and Life is Peaceful
"Mother! Senior brother! Brother! You..."

Qi Luobing's delicate body trembled slightly as she excitedly said:

"Did you...feel it just now? Father...Father...he...he..."

By the end, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was almost speechless.

"felt it!"

Qi Jiuxiao was also so excited that his face flushed red, and his eyes shone with an unprecedented light as he stared intently at Qi Tian's physical body:
"I felt it too! There was a fleeting glimmer of life in my father's body just now!"

"Not bad!"

Jinpeng's golden, sharp eyes were also filled with suppressed ecstasy:
"Although it was fleeting, there was indeed a trace of vitality emanating from Master's body."

For countless years, his attention had never left his master, and today, he actually sensed a life force within him.

What does this mean? How could he not know?

Wang Shu, who had long cultivated his emotions to be as calm as a still well, was now trembling violently!
Tears, like a bursting dam, silently streamed down the river.

She gazed intently at Qi Tian's face, her eyes filled with the sorrow accumulated over the years, the ecstasy of regaining what was lost, the trepidation of fearing it was just an illusion, and the most fervent expectation!
Before long, Wan Shuanghua and Qi Tian's personal disciples, including Sun Yuan and Kong Xuan, also arrived!
When they learned from Wang Shu and the others that Qi Tian actually had a life force appearing in him, everyone went completely crazy!

"The Holy City is under lockdown! No one is allowed to approach!"

Jin Peng's voice, carrying an undeniable authority, instantly resounded throughout the entire Holy City.

At the same time, a powerful sovereign will enveloped the city, relocating all other living beings from the holy city.

Furthermore, he, along with Wang Shu, Qi Jiuxiao, and Qi Luobing, set up a powerful defensive barrier.

then,

Wang Shu, Wan Shuanghua, and the others gathered around Qi Tian, ​​guarding, hoping, waiting, and praying for that faint glimmer of life to reappear.

A year has passed, and the void remains silent.

Ten years have passed, and nothing has changed.

Centuries, millennia, ten thousand years. Time relentlessly slips away in anxious waiting.

That fleeting glimpse of hope vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, never to reappear.

The joy in everyone's hearts was like a flame doused with cold water, gradually extinguished, and an indescribable heaviness and despair once again enveloped his heart, tightening more and more.

Could it be... just an illusion?
Is it a phantom of their maddened longing over endless years?
"It moved! It moved! I saw my father's fingers move!"

Suddenly, Qi Jiuxiao, as if possessed, pointed at Qi Tian's right hand and shouted incoherently, his voice distorted!

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and their eyes instantly focused on it!

However, Qi Tian's right hand remained hanging quietly, without the slightest movement.

Just when everyone thought Qi Jiuxiao was hallucinating—

"Om~"

A faint, flickering life force, like a candle burning in the wind, slowly emerged from the depths of Qi Tian's body, which had been dormant for countless years!

This time, it won't be fleeting!
Though its light was terrifyingly faint, it burned stubbornly like the most tenacious flame in the boundless silence.

Moreover, it was growing little by little at a slow but incredibly steady pace, as perceived by everyone!

Become stronger!

"Ugh——!"

Wang Shu and Wan Shuanghua covered their mouths, tears streaming down their faces—tears of joy, the ecstasy of something lost and found.

"Master!!"

Sun Yuan and Kong Xuan, along with other disciples, couldn't help but shed tears, their bodies trembling with emotion.

Qi Jiuxiao and Qi Luobing were both crying and laughing, just like two children.

There was no trace of the ruler's authority left.

Hope, the true light of hope, has finally pierced through billions of years of darkness!

Ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

The life force emanating from Qi Tian was no longer a faint flame, but rather like an erupting volcano, so vast and powerful that it was beyond imagination!

And the aura emanating from his body.

Like a real tide, it swept through the surrounding void, even distorting space itself.

Powerful, terrifying, and majestic!
Wan Shuanghua, Sun Yuan, Kong Xuan, and others who had not yet reached the Dominator Realm were already unable to withstand this pressure and were forced to retreat far away from the core area, only able to gaze into the distance with tears in their eyes.

Even the four current rulers, Wang Shu, Jin Peng, Qi Jiuxiao, and Qi Luobing, felt unprecedented pressure at this moment!
That was an absolute pressure originating from the level of life and from the origin of the Great Dao!

It made them feel as if they had returned to the time before they attained enlightenment, and were facing an incomprehensible supreme being!
"This aura... has probably surpassed the realm of the Dominator!"

In fact, not only them, but also the beings of the four primordial continents, the forty-nine eternal worlds, and the beings in the endless chaotic world all felt this pressure that far surpassed the Great Dao.

A towering, domineering figure rose from my mind without warning:

"The Holy Venerable Equal to Heaven!"

Another ten thousand years have passed.

The terrifying aura that permeated the core of the holy city, making even the ruler feel uneasy, receded rapidly without warning, like the receding tide!
Qi Tian seemed to have become an ordinary person in a deep sleep.

This sudden change made everyone who had been waiting around hold their breath in their throats, almost to the point of stopping!

next moment.

Those eyelids, which had been tightly closed for countless years, trembled slightly.

immediately,

Under the tense and expectant gazes of all their closest and dearest relatives— Wang Shu, Wan Shuanghua, Jin Peng, Qi Jiuxiao, and Qi Luobing

A pair of deep eyes, as if they were the beginning of the universe, containing endless birth and death, the cycle of all things, and seemingly seeing through all the mysteries of the past and future, slowly opened.

That gaze initially carried an ancient sense of vicissitude and indifference, as if it were the very origin of the Dao, high above the nine heavens.

however,
When that gaze fell upon those unforgettable faces around him, the endless indifference melted away like ice and snow, transforming into an infinite gentleness that could encompass all the heavens and the myriad worlds and warm the depths of the soul.

The frozen, disdainful curve at the corner of his mouth transformed into a smile.

"I'm back."

A gentle voice rang out, dispelling the gloom of countless ages, and bringing peace and tranquility.

“Senior Brother——!!!”

"Father!!!"

"Master!!!"

(The End!!!)
