Chapter 6073: It’s Wonderful
She stared at him intensely like a beggar seeing a feast in a wealthy household and swallowing saliva constantly.
Despite depleting her saliva, she could still sense the presence of divinity. Thus, when Li Qiye stepped inside, she saw a boundless ocean of divinity.
Her ravenous self had a whiff of the delicious scent and immediately followed it.
“Don’t you think it’s funny? Your divinity was boundless and you chose to change it into lifespan. Wouldn’t reversing it be a waste of time and effort?” Li Qiye smiled.
She had a sad expression as she answered: “Sir, I was afraid of death when it came knocking and wanted to escape at all costs.”
“And now?” Li Qiye said.
“Death doesn’t seem that bad now. Losing one’s root is the most painful thing.” She said.
“It’s the original pursuit. When you lose it, life is not much different than death.” He said.
“That’s why I’m so cold and hungry now. I have a long lifespan and will trade you some for a sliver of divinity. Please be generous, I know you don’t need the years.” She begged.
“You reap what you sow.” He shook his head, causing her to sigh dejectedly.
Six-style was moved because this once-mighty old woman had fallen to this state, no different from a wretched beggar.
“Thank you, Sir.” The old woman bowed and said: “I apologize for bothering you.”
As she was leaving, Li Qiye started speaking: “I have a slight connection to your Garden of G.o.d.”
She froze upon hearing this.
“Garden of G.o.d…” Six-style had heard of this ancient and powerful dao system in the past. So this old woman was a member?
“That’s a very, very old name.” Her eyes moistened as she spoke.
“Indeed, but still not as old as you are.” He said.
“I am just a lost soul, I don’t have anything to do with it.” She said softly.
“Still running away?” He said.
“What else can I do, Sir? Soulcast Land is no longer around so I can only live a borrowed life here.” She said.
“Buzz.” Li Qiye raised his finger and released a wisp of primordial light.
“I do not pity you since you are responsible for your current state, but out of consideration for Garden of G.o.d, I will spare you a meal.” Li Qiye said.
The faint wisp drilled into her, causing her to tremble and turn radiant with waves of light pulsing outward.
A peerless beauty appeared before them, invoking gasps of awe and admiration. Six-style was gorgeous enough but paled in comparison. Her divinity made people want to prostrate as if she were the world"s holiest being. A pair of golden wings like no other grew from her back.
“...” Six-style was speechless at this sight.
The peerless beauty closed her eyes, immersing in this newfound divinity. This was a dream of the past when she never lacked divinity. It was a part of her, granting her warmth and allowing her to reach the top.
Perhaps she was so used to it that she no longer appreciated it. Therefore, she converted it into lifespan before death. Losing it made her realize its importance.
She was reduced to this wandering abomination, forever afflicted with hunger and coldness.
“It’s wonderful.” Therefore, when her divinity returned, she couldn’t help but cry.
She exchanged the most precious thing to live longer but afterward, she came to understand how meaningless life was afterward.
Unfortunately, Li Qiye only gave her a sliver of his light so the waves of light gradually dispersed.
She resumed her form as an old ghost devoid of divinity.
