Tomb of Civilization.
In the shattered land, a long time passed before Luo Xiu slowly opened his eyes, a hint of vigor gradually returning to his vacant pupils. Thanks to the Blood Fiend Jade Amulet regenerating his burnt Essence Blood and the residual Fortune-Forming Power in his body, he hadn't truly died. He had stubbornly clawed his way back from Ghost Gate Pass.
He struggled for a long while before finally managing to get up, clutching the sheathed Dream and Asura as he limped slowly through the ruins. Every step was excruciatingly difficult.
"No... I can't die yet... I can't die here."
"Xi Yue, Shan Shan... wait for me..."
Although he didn't know where he could possibly go now, a powerful conviction supported him.
He just couldn't fall. He couldn't lie here waiting for death.
However, he had only taken a dozen or so steps when he collapsed powerlessly to his knees again. His heavy eyelids were impossible to keep open, and they slowly closed as he slipped into slumber.
