Chapter 575: The Lonely Star
This feeling of powerlessness came over me like a surging tide, overwhelming me, surrounding me tightly and pressing me so hard that I could hardly breathe.
Just when I felt extremely desperate, fate finally smiled at me - I unexpectedly discovered that the book that I had been searching for, the book that could save you, was actually hidden away by Mingjun!
The moment I heard the news, my world seemed to suddenly see a faint but extremely dazzling dawn from the endless darkness. A small flame instantly ignited in my heart, although it was still very weak, but extremely firm.
Like an arrow shot from a bow, I pounced on the person who tried to take the book without hesitation. In the fierce struggle, I used all my strength to take the book back into my hands, and then I held it tightly in my arms with both hands like iron clamps, pressing it tightly against my chest. At that moment, the book seemed to have become a microcosm of the whole world.
Then, I followed the method in the book and chose a dark, windy, and silent night to implement the plan. At that time, the surroundings were so quiet that it made people feel uneasy, and only the gusts of wind roared like ghosts in my ears. The wind seemed to carry endless resentment, blowing through the dilapidated house, making a sharp whistle, as if it wanted to swallow up everything in this world. I was alone in the middle of the empty yard, carefully placing various offerings.
At this moment, my heart was filled with two completely different emotions: piety and trepidation. Every breath I took seemed so heavy. I knew that this was my last hope. If this attempt failed, I would lose you forever. Thinking of this, my hands could not help but tremble slightly, and my forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
When everything was ready, I took a deep breath, mustered up my courage and began to call out to the legendary god. My voice seemed so small and helpless in the silent night sky, but it was also full of determination. "Great God, please listen to my prayer..." My voice trembled a little, as if I was afraid of disturbing the unknown existence.
In an instant, the wind suddenly intensified, whistling past with overwhelming force, blowing the surrounding trees wildly and making rustling sounds. The sound seemed to be the cry of countless wronged souls, echoing endlessly in the darkness, making people shudder. The branches collided with each other, making a creaking sound, as if they would be broken by the wind at any time. The leaves were swept up into the sky and fluttered in the air like lost ghosts.
This strange sound echoed in the silent night, as if countless pairs of eyes hidden in the depths of darkness were coldly watching me, and I couldn't help but feel a chill running down my spine. I subconsciously hugged my body tightly, trying to resist the chill, but it was no use. Fear spread like a tide, eroding my heart, but my firm belief in saving you never wavered.
At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly pierced the night sky without warning. The light was as strong as a sun explosion, instantly illuminating the entire dark world. I subconsciously closed my eyes and blocked the dazzling light with my hands. I felt a white blur in front of my eyes and could not see anything. After the light gradually converged, I saw a tall god suddenly appear in front of me.
He exuded a mysterious and incomparably holy light from head to toe. The light was so bright and dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it. It was like a blazing sun suddenly descending upon the world. I squinted my eyes and could barely see the outline of the god. His figure was as majestic as a mountain, his face was solemn, and his eyes were filled with a deep insight that seemed to know everything.
Facing this high and mighty god, my legs went weak and I fell to my knees with a thud. Tears poured out like a flood, blurring my vision in an instant. My body was shaking with excitement and fear, my throat was choking, and my voice became hoarse. But I still tried my best and begged the god in a crying voice: "Please, great god! As long as you can let her come back to me, I am willing to do it even if it costs me my life!" My voice echoed in the silent night sky, full of despair and helplessness.
However, the god remained silent. He just slowly raised one hand, extended his slender index finger, and gently pointed at our daughter, Ahe, who was standing not far away. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and my heart sank into an endless abyss.
The god solemnly declared that she was destined to bring endless disasters to those around her. His voice was deep and majestic, as if it was a verdict from the Netherworld, and every word hit my heart like a heavy hammer.
'This woman has a special fate. If she stays in the world, she will bring disaster to her loved ones. Her existence is the root of disaster. Even if she survives, she will only hurt those close to her. Even someone like you who has a close relationship with her may be killed by her fate.'
I closed my eyes tightly, knitted my brows, clenched my teeth, and used all my strength to suppress the pain that was surging like a tide and almost swallowed me up, and the intense struggle deep in my heart. My heart was screaming in pain, no, this is not true, Ahe is my daughter, she is so cute and so innocent, how could she be the source of the disaster? But the words of the gods were like ironclad facts, and I could not refute them.
Finally, I slowly opened my eyes, my eyes were determined, and I abandoned her with trembling hands in the dark, deep, damp and cold cave that the gods had described. When I picked up Ah He and walked towards the cave, she looked at me with her ignorant eyes, as if asking me why I took her there. My heart felt like it was pierced by thousands of arrows, and every step I took was like stepping on my own wounds, bleeding profusely.
As soon as you step into the cave, a strong, pungent stench hits you in the face, making you feel nauseous.
I gently placed Ah He in the corner of the cave. Her little hands tightly grasped the corner of my clothes, her eyes full of fear and reluctance. But I still hardened my heart and turned away.
When I turned around and left, I felt as if my legs were being pressed down by a heavy weight. My steps were extremely heavy. Every small step I took seemed to be stepping heavily on my broken heart. I was heartbroken. I didn't dare to look back, afraid to see Ah He's helpless eyes. I could only grit my teeth and walk away from her step by step.
