Chapter 278: Rebirth - I Became the Grandpa (2)
The stench of decay, writhing maggots, buzzing flies, and foul corpse fluids filled the air. Dongfang Yunxing had lain hidden for an entire month. He was the second young master of the Dongfang. Once, his life had been blessed with happiness, comfort, and harmonious kinship.
All of that had been destroyed in a single day one month ago. His parents were slaughtered, his elder brother died miserably, and his childhood sweetheart perished before his eyes. Of the entire Dongfang, only he remained.
Overwhelming hatred had kept him alive through the nightmare. The once elegant and graceful second young master of the Dongfang now looked like a skeletal ghoul freshly crawled from hell, emaciated and covered in filth. On his chest hung a plain-looking pearl. As Dongfang Yunxing's hatred surged, the pearl trembled faintly.
Sensing the movement, he lowered his head and stared at the pearl. He had survived only because of it. As long as it received a steady supply of energy, the pearl could conceal his aura completely. His elder brother had given it to him, urging him to live on. Thanks to the pearl, he had managed to survive right under that terrifying powerhouse's nose.
Suddenly, the pearl in Dongfang Yunxing's hand began to glow with intense heat. In the next instant, boundless radiance shot out from between his fingers in all directions.
...
"How many autumns has this great dream lasted… What year is it now?"
Su Chen did not know how much time had passed. When he opened his eyes, he realized this was not the Reverse Fate Space. His current life had not truly ended yet.
That was good news. His million Reverse Fate Points had not been wasted. But there was bad news as well. His condition was terrible… weaker than ever before. He had fused completely with the pearl and become its artifact spirit.
