The Zhao Yingtian, who should have died, began to revive under Luo Yu's healing power.
Life began to return.
His heart reassembled itself and began to beat again as the wound on his chest healed.
This miraculous power, which transformed decay into wonder, astonished everyone present, including the citizens of Great Xia watching through the live broadcast.
"My heavens!"
"The God's Child can even heal such wounds?"
"It's miraculous."
"To bring someone back to life like that, that's fierce."
"Has God's Child become divine, to resurrect the dead?"
Zhao Yingtian stood up again, his face etched with confusion.
His consciousness had already dissipated just a moment ago.
It was drawn back by an incredible Golden Force, to an unbelievable extent.
"You shouldn't have saved a sinner like me."
Zhao Yingtian looked at Luo Yu, tears streaming down his face.
This once formidable figure was crying out loud at this moment.
In truth, he felt guilty.
He had severed the father-daughter relationship, and he had no contact with Luo Yu's side.
What kind of father is so heartless?
In reality, it was because if he became too close to Luo Tiance's side,
then the powers beyond the borders would never believe his defection.
He had to utterly sever relations to gain their trust.
Yet, this resulted in his daughter travelling far to the frontiers, never to return, and in Luo Yu, his grandson, feeling no affection for him.
He could have voiced all these thoughts in his heart.
But he did not, choosing to suppress everything inside, thinking that it might be good to die like this.
Unexpectedly, Luo Yu brought him back to life.
The sense of indebtedness in his heart soared to its ultimate peak.
As he said before, he, Zhao Yingtian, has no regrets in his life towards Great Xia.
But he owes his daughter, he owes the Luo Family.
This overwhelming sense of debt was unbearable for him.
Luo Tiance, the patriarchs and powerhouses of Great Xia, and all the citizens of Daxia who saw Zhao Yingtian in tears, also had complicated feelings.
Such a man cannot be judged simply in terms of good and evil.
If you want to blame, you don't know what to curse at.
If you want to forgive, yet he conspired with the enemy and betrayed his country, how can one just dismiss such hatred and enmity with a smile?
Zhao Yunliu knelt down in front of Luo Yu.
"Thank God's Child for saving my grandfather, Zhao Yunliu is endlessly grateful."
Luo Yu looked at the agitated Zhao Yunliu, shook his head, and did not speak.
He turned his gaze back to Zhao Yingtian.
"To live or die is your own right,"
"But you shouldn't die here."
"The battlefield is where a true warrior belongs in death."
"If you feel indebted, then dedicate the rest of your life to Great Xia."
The surroundings went quiet upon hearing Luo Yu's words.
Zhao Yingtian stared blankly, his lips trembling.
In the end, all became a sigh, and then he nodded vigorously.
"I am willing to offer the rest of my twilight years for Great Xia, to burn the last flicker of flame."
Luo Yu nodded: "Mm."
He then turned and left, with no scene of acknowledging kin, for there was no affection.
Why force a sentimental scene?
However, his respect for Zhao Yingtian increased in his heart.
The Trial of Judgment came to an end, and such an outcome made the citizens feel much better.
If one of the Eight Kings of Great Xia had really betrayed,
the shame and distress in their hearts would have been intolerable.
"Our Great Xia has no traitors!"
"Our Great Xia is full of people with integrity."
"To prevent such tragedies from repeating, we must strengthen ourselves."
"With the nation stronger, the heartache will be much less, much less."
And the citizens around the world, to varying degrees, had become aware of this trial in Our Great Xia.
Their feelings were mixed.
Feeling that their leaders could neither win in battle nor outwit their opponents.
A total loss.
The only thing they could rely on was the waiting for the deities to revive.
Days ticked by, one after another.
Luo Yu entered seclusion, beginning to fully absorb the hundreds of traces of the Source of Divinity from the Azure Stone Lotus.
Various emotions fermented on the internet, and Our Great Xia experienced a surge in cultivation fervor.
Meanwhile, most martial artists abroad began to enjoy life, lying flat and giving up.
They understood that no matter how hard they tried, they could never defeat Luo Yu in the end; it was better to enjoy each day and await the deities' intervention.
As for the ordinary people around the world, life became difficult.
Last time, when they confronted Luo Yu, all the major forces had come out in full force.
As a result, all their strong fighters were slain by Luo Yu.
This led to a lack of powerful warriors to maintain social order, and society immediately plunged into chaos.
The crime rate skyrocketed.
The most terrifying thing was that without the protection of powerful martial artists, when ferocious beasts attacked cities, ordinary soldiers and martial artists simply couldn't resist.
In just three short months, countless cities outside the Nine Provinces had fallen into the hands of packs of ferocious beasts.
The people of the world didn't hate Luo Yu and Our Great Xia, but their own leaders instead.
Why did they have to greedily attack Our Great Xia?
If you hadn't attacked, your own forces wouldn't have fallen to where they are today.
On the other hand, the major base cities in Great Xia also faced constant attacks from various ferocious beasts.
Humans were evolving, and so were they, quietly.
In fact, aside from the lack of deities' support, ferocious beasts were the most numerous, present all over the world, and Supreme Beasts emerged endlessly.
In the Great Xia high command's war room.
All those of Transcendence and above in power had gathered, with Luo Tiance sitting in the premier seat, frowning:
"According to our investigations, ferocious beasts across the Nine Provinces are converging on the Capital Base City as if by mutual agreement."
"In each group, there are at least five Supreme Peak beasts."
"What?"
"How can these animals evolve so fast?"
"How is it possible that so many Supreme Beasts suddenly emerged?"
The Eight Kings of Great Xia voiced their shock in disbelief.
Luo Tiance said, "These beasts that have reached Transcendence are very clever, always hiding in the shadows, not allowing us to find them. Now, seeing the opportunity ripe, they've all come out to kill."
"Cunning beasts," Zhu Wushi glared. "We have tolerated these animals for too long."
"We have nothing to worry about," Cao Xiong chuckled. "No matter how many ferocious beasts there are, it doesn't matter; the God's Child will take action."
"The God's Child is in seclusion!!!" Zhu Wushi exclaimed loudly. "He's under a lot of pressure too. Once the deities revive, they'll surely invade Our Great Xia."
"How will we resist then? Let's not be too optimistic."
"And now, even if there are civilian casualties, we can't disturb the God's Child's seclusion."
"Otherwise, when the gods attack, Our Great Xia might face the risk of annihilation once more."
Liu Shengji let out a long sigh, seeming to age more than ten years.
"We used to be the favored children of heaven, carrying Great Xia forward."
"Now we don't even have the qualifications to resist; it seems we really have gotten old."
"We can't say that, us old fellows, we can still help the God's Child with sundry tasks."
Luo Tiance's brows were tightly knitted: "Enough, I'm going to assign tasks. This time, the beasts' offensive will definitely be ferocious, but we must hold our defense."
The expressions of everyone gathered were grave.
Supreme Beasts were very sly; they would not make an appearance immediately.
They would use the tide of beasts to wear you down as cannon fodder continuously. Only when you were nearly exhausted would they strike, cunning and troublesome.
Just then, the door to the conference room was pushed open directly.
The strong figures frowned. Interrupting such a high-level meeting without knocking was a serious offense.
However, upon seeing the handsome young man standing at the door.
The displeasure on everyone's faces turned into joy.
Zhu Wushi said excitedly: "God's Child, have you finished your seclusion?"
Luo Yu spoke calmly: "Leave the beasts' siege to me."
For others, this attack of the ferocious beasts was a disaster.
But for Luo Yu, it was a true opportunity.
