Perfect World

Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Little Stone’s Dead End Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Little Stone’s Dead End The people who rushed in all trembled, their faces pale, unable to believe all this—how could it end up this way, with such an outcome.

Qin Yining screamed, nearly fainting, and threw herself forward to embrace Shi Hao’s body.

Her eyes blurred with tears, she cried out loudly, her heart twisted with pain.

“My Hao, my dear Hao, don’t die, how could this be?

Mother is so sorry!”
She held Shi Hao, her body shaking, barely able to stand, thinking back on the past, remembering all the years gone by, her heart filled with pain and regret for missing so much, never being by her eldest son’s side, and now having to part with him in death.

Blood flowed from Shi Hao’s chest; he was about to die.

He too felt sorrowful, not wanting to leave all this behind, comforting his mother not to be sad.

“My Hao, don’t leave Mother, don’t die, please don’t…”
Qin Yining’s face was streaked with tears.

She had failed to take good care of Shi Hao in his youth.

He was so small, alone in the Martial King’s Mansion, cruelly stripped of his Supreme Bone and bearing so much suffering—how unfortunate?

Later, cast adrift to Stone Village, separated for more than a decade in two great desolate areas, never cared for.

And now, tragedy struck once again, she could only watch, powerless to heal him.

“Where is the Supreme Bone, bring it back, quickly…

help connect it back to Hao, don’t let him die.” Qin Yining cried out in agony, heartbroken.

How could this be, her eldest son having not received the transplant of an Immortal Bone, instead giving his own bone away—how desolate.

“It’s too late, there is not enough Supreme Blood left inside Shi Hao’s body to nourish that bone.

Even if we were to return it and reattach it now, it would be useless,” said Zhang Zhong.

“No…” Qin Yining’s eyes turned lifeless, overwhelmed with pain.

“Mother, don’t be sad.

That bone has lost its effect on me.

It won’t save me, give it to my brother,” Shi Hao soothed.

“It’s my fault for hesitating, missing the timing for the bone graft,” Qin Yining held him, wailing loudly, full of remorse.

She couldn’t bear to lose her eldest son, afraid for her second son’s potential fate, thus hesitated.

And as time passed, even the insertion of an Immortal Bone was no longer plausible.

“Mother, don’t blame yourself, how can you be blamed?

How could I agree to take my brother’s bone?

I would not wager his life.

Having experienced these tribulations myself, I wouldn’t wish for him to suffer as I have,” Shi Hao whispered gently, blood trailing from his mouth, his complexion growing increasingly pallid.

Shi Ziling stood nearby, nearly catatonic, tears rolling continuously from his tiger-like eyes, murmuring, “The fault is ours, for our repeated delays, for missing the time.

This is our mistake, and it will become the pain and regret of my life!”
“Father, don’t speak of it.

Such words only make me suffer.

Truly, it’s not your fault,” Shi Hao’s voice was tinged with sourness.

He didn’t blame either of them because one, he would never have wanted that bone, and two, he had pondered what he would do if he had to make such a choice with two children of his own.

Surely it would be a decision filled with pain!

He knew his parents had suffered greatly these past few days, tormented, and although they hesitated and missed the timing for the bone graft, they were not to blame.

“My dear Hao, Mother is so sorry.

I’m filled with regret.

This will be the pain of my lifetime, and I cannot forgive myself,” Qin Yining cried desperately, her knuckles turning white, her body staggering, unable to steady herself.

Shi Ziling’s eyes were bloodshot, he roared deeply, thinking back over years gone by as if they were just a dream, filled with self-reproach and endless regret.

He and Qin Yining felt guilty toward their eldest son, leaving behind many regrets.

This was the second time in this life they had to watch him decline toward death.

“Without implanting an Immortal Bone into Hao, he instead gave his Supreme Bone to his brother.

How desolate that is…” Shi Ziling and Qin Yining could hardly contain themselves, their words laden with grief.

“Father, Mother, truly, this is not your fault.

Giving the bone to my brother is also like the continuation of my life, keeping me by your side.”
Hearing this, the couple’s hearts were further wounded, tears flowing unceasingly.

Shi Ziling roared, his black hair growing wildly as if he were possessed, falling to the ground.

His eyes burst with divine light as he declared, “Think of me, Shi Ziling, for the past twenty years, acting freely with grievances and grudges, traversing the world without fear!

These past years, trapped on Immortal Mountain, I even cut off my arrogance, wore down my sharpness, and buried my true nature.

In this life, I have regrets, from this day forth, I shall go mad, I am determined to obliterate the Immortal Hall, and sweep away the legacies where the Seven Gods reside, here I establish a blood oath!”
He roared, clenching his fists, as a golden War Spear appeared behind him, pointing straight to the skies.

No matter what, nothing could change all of this.

Shi Hao’s life was running out, no one had a way to retain it.

The people of Stone Village already had red eyes, gathering closely around, all with heaving chests and rapid breathing, clenching their fists.

They wished they could howl to the heavens.

“My child…”
They murmured, hot tears rolling down.

They knew that there was no way left, Shi Hao had extracted his Supreme Bone, losing their last hope.

“I want to kill!” Shi Linhu roared.

Shi Hao hadn’t received treatment with the Immortal Bone, but rather lost his own bone, making this man from the great desolate area want to cry.

The others felt the same.

Er Meng, Shi Dazhuang, and the others nearly lost control.

If not for Shi Hao calling out, asking them not to act rashly, chaos would have ensued.

“My child!” Clan Leader Shi Yunfeng held his hand, wanting to say something but unable to speak.

Only old tears could be seen rolling down from the corners of his wrinkled eyes.

“Brother…” Qin Hao stood to the side, softly calling out.

“Live well, cherish everything, take good care of father and mother,” Shi Hao nodded and said calmly.

“I will become the strongest, to protect them,” Qin Hao said.

Shi Hao looked at Zhang Zhong, asking, “Divine Doctor, are you confident?

Can the bone be joined safely?”
Zhang Zhong nodded: “If it were someone else, it definitely wouldn’t work.

There would be great danger.

However, for the Second Young Master, there should be no problem.

His body has already nurtured Supreme Blood, which is nourishing the Immortal Bone.

Naturally, it can also nourish this fragment.”
Having Divine Blood in the body, naturally one could join bones.

Shi Hao’s bone joining was dangerous because his body contained those green-rust-like characters, and the Supreme Blood had been seriously depleted.

Shi Hao furrowed his brows and said, “Even though it’s a Supreme Bone, far superior to other bones and flesh, it’s still tainted with a bit of the Curse.

You must be careful.”
“That’s not a problem.

ƝᴑνǤᴑ.сο

The Second Young Master has a complete Immortal Bone that can grind away those few characters,” Zhang Zhong said.

“Then go ahead with it,” Shi Hao said.

That bone fragment was pearly and translucent, although severely damaged and full of cracks, forcibly joined together, it still shone brilliantly, emanating Immortal Light.

Yet, streaked with blood, it appeared somewhat poignant.

To the people of Stone Village, it was such a sharp pain to behold.

“How can it be so unfair, how can it be so bleak!” Shi Ziling and Qin Yining both found it difficult to accept, embracing Shi Hao, choking up, unable to speak any longer.

Zhang Zhong took Qin Hao and the bone and left; the great hall was engulfed in sorrow and gloom, everyone was heartbroken, unable to calm down.

The War King, Peng King, and the Peacock King of Light stepped forward, silently checked Shi Hao’s body, infused their divine power, and extended his life.

“How could this happen?!” Xiao Tian, the nine-headed lion, Xia Youyu, and others all rushed over, shocked by the news they heard.

The hall was crowded with familiar faces, all wearing sadness.

Although they had guessed that Shi Hao was unlikely to survive, they hadn’t anticipated this.

“Child, let’s go back,” old Clan Leader Yun Feng said.

“Wait a moment,” Shi Hao shook his head; he wanted to see if the bone could be successfully resurrected.

“Big brother…” Light Wind cried, his large eyes red.

It was Shi Hao who had brought him back to Stone Village, and now they had to part this way, never to see each other again.

Shi Hao sighed; he had once thought to give the bone to Light Wind, but since he didn’t have Supreme Blood in his body, rashly connecting it could cause death, and it might also bring a curse.

“It’s done!”
Time passed; news came that Qin Hao’s bone graft was successful—an astounding event.

A youth with two Supreme Bones, how terrifying, destined to shake the heavens and the earth!

Yet, no one spoke, no one showed joy.

“Shi Yi also had Dual Pupils and possessed a Supreme Bone, didn’t he?

Yet he was defeated.

Little Hao is the true invincible one!” Er Meng fumed with indignation.

“There must surely be such people in the higher realms; as for whether it is the path to invincibility, it’s too early to discuss now,” someone whispered in agreement.

“Let’s go,” Shi Hao said softly.

The Ancestral Sacrificial Altar shone, opening a pathway.

The people of Stone Village set off through the night, taking Shi Hao on his way home.

News spread, and Stone Country’s capital was shocked.

“Send off the Stone Emperor!”
Voices roared like thunder, many strong figures shouted together, shaking the heavens, the entire capital swaying.

Little Stone had left, which also meant saying farewell to this world, never to be seen again.

“Send off the Stone Emperor!”
This voice soared through the sky, echoing through the night.

Everyone shouted together, the earth and sky quaking, all sending him off together.

Sect Hierarchs, major leaders, and many powerful figures appeared.

This was one of the rare grand occasions in many years, yet inside Stone Kingdom’s Royal Palace, there was only sadness, hardly any joyous words.

At dawn, the sun rose in the east, golden morning light spilling down, warming everyone’s skin.

“I’m still alive, and this feeling is really wonderful,” Shi Hao said, his complexion showing a touch of rosiness, lying on a soft chair facing the morning sun, looking at the familiar Stone Village, feeling contentment, both heart and body warmed.

That night, after returning, everyone was tense, afraid he wouldn’t last until dawn and would leave this world—they were very repressed, feeling indescribably sad.

Fortunately, he was still alive; everyone heaved a sigh of relief, smiling, yet their eyes were also a bit sour, on the verge of tears.

“I really want to stay, to stay forever,” Shi Hao whispered softly.

At this moment, his nose was beginning to sting, looking at everyone, not wanting to leave.

Everyone shed tears, all filled with sorrow.

“While we still can, let’s choose a place,” Shi Hao said, calming himself down.

“Good, let’s pick a spot,” Shi Feijiao said.

Ten miles away, there was a low hill with several ancient pines and a bubbling spring, a very tranquil place.

Shi Hao chose a burial ground for himself, not a pure land, very ordinary, but from there he could remotely view Stone Village, with fresh grass and trees, very peaceful.

“Let it be here,” Shi Hao said softly.

At the same time, the color drained from his face, his eyes gradually dimming, the last of his vital spirit ebbing away; his life finally reached its end.

“No!”
“Little Hao, don’t leave us!”
People shouted, rushing forward!
