Chapter 1424: Merging Into One
Over the course of the year, Chen Changsheng lived past Huaixu. It wasn't until the start of autumn, when the lotus pods finally ripened, that he passed from the mortal world.
Zhao Yuqing watched Chen Changsheng's figure dissolve into drifting sand and scatter on the wind. His eyes went wide as several thin threads revealed themselves, suspended in midair.
The instant Chen Changsheng vanished, the threads lost their sense of direction, writhing endlessly like ants tossed into a hot pan.
They dropped to the ground, scurrying about like headless flies.
A moment later, however, they surged toward the center.
Zhao Yuqing slowly stepped forward for a closer look. The clump of threads had condensed together; no longer a chaotic tangle, they now took the shape of a single water droplet.
He reached out, but the instant his hand drew close, a sudden sense of familiarity washed over him.
"Rebirth from a drop of blood?!"
Sensing the fluctuations of Magical Power, Zhao Yuqing leaped backward.
