Lin Fan took out his Death Talisman to activate it. However, the moment he looked at it, he felt something was wrong; it appeared as if it was not functional. No matter how much origin essence he injected inside or how much he checked, it was useless.
For a brief moment, Lin Fan despaired, but he rapidly controlled himself. He knew to remain calm for the slightest chance of survival since this was not the first time he was on the verge of death.
He then focused on how to deal with the current situation. He used the Law of Time to stop his body in his present state and prevent deterioration while also using Death Law to negate his death.
Unfortunately, Lin Fan realized that this method only bought him a few more minutes. Luckily, this was more than enough for him. He decided to take this moment between Life and Death to understand Curse Law to deal with the problem.
As for Xu Shi, she kept on crying while injecting her origin essence into his body to help. Regrettably, she could not even detect that curse, let alone help.
While these two dealt with their issue, Su Ya–who was previously sent flying–suddenly opened her eyes. She immediately frowned as countless memories flooded into her mind.
She remembered her life as "Zi Yuan," and disgust and hatred flashed across her eyes.
'How dare he take advantage of me?'
She used a spell to heal some of her injuries by transferring them to her clones before getting up. She looked at the Lin Fan, squirming on the floor, trying to survive.
'This is the perfect time to kill him.'
Su Ya took a small step forward before stopping. She remembered how she underestimated her opponent before and got herself into the current situation. She would not make the same mistake again.
So, instead of approaching Lin Fan to attack, she activated the Bloodline Curse she previously used. She knew that this was a terrifying curse that could ignore levels.
Even a mortal can kill a Quasi-Emperor with that curse as long as they achieve the harsh condition of bearing the target's offspring or bloodline. And in her years of studying the curse, she understood that hatred and grievances were the primary sources of that curse.
So, without hesitation, she gathered a massive amount of these negative emotions to strengthen the curse. Immediately afterward, Lin Fan vomited a mouthful of black blood, and Su Ya ran away.?? ? ?? n ? ??? </ins></ins>
She saw madness in Lin Fan's eyes, so she decided to be more cautious in case he did something terrible before his death. Additionally, she was not in the best state of mind after what happened to her, so she quickly escaped.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan soon understood that he would not make it alive in this situation. He tried a tactic that one of his opponents in the Slaughter Trial did: use a Reincarnation Law to escape his current predicament.
Unfortunately, the strengthened version of this curse seemed to have attached to the concept of his [Existence], so even after reincarnation, he would not escape death.
Without any choice, he accepted his death. He looked at his favorite wife, thinking about their time together. He thought about how she was always by his side, supporting him with all her capability.
He smiled before saying: "I'm sorry, Shi'er, but I cannot accompany you anymore."
"Husband, don't say things like this. Just wait a while, and the Academy will soon come; you will be fine."
"Unfortunately, it will be too late by then," he replied with a smile. "Before I go, I will give you one last gift."
A seed with Dao Rhymes appeared before Lin Fan along with his space ting. Then, his face instantly became paler.
"A Dao-level Inheritance Seed," said Xu Shi in shock. "Husband, you can't."
"It is for the best."
Xu Shi looked at the seed in front of her, knowing full well the implications behind it. Inheritance Seed is a method some lineages use to pass their powers to other people.
Using this method, a Quasi-Emperor can turn a mortal into the same realm as them by giving them their powers. That mortal would inherit their Origin Essence, Soul Strenght, fleshly body, and even Laws.
Of course, only high-level Inheritance Seed can accomplish this. Additionally, most people who use Inheritance Seed cannot surpass their transferer, nor can they participate in the Heaven Will Battle. p??da n?vel </ins></ins>
The only exception to this rule is Dao-level Inheritance Seeds. With it, a person can inherit the talent, foundation, potential, state of mind, and even Dao Heart of the transferer; they can inherit everything from them.
So, Xu Shi knew that with this seed, she could perfectly inherit all of Lin Fan's strengths and abilities.
So, after pondering about it for a while, she absorbed the seed, an act that made Lin Fan smile. His action was not simply because of how much he loved or his generosity.
He wanted to make a last struggle, the final gamble. He hoped that one day, once she became powerful enough, she could find a way to revive him.
"I'm sorry I will not be able to see you again," said Lin Fan as he gathered his strength to raise his arm and caress her face. "I wonder what our future would have been like? Would we have kids? How many of them? A boy or a girl? They would be handsome and beautiful–at least if they took after your beauty."
He sighed deeply before muttering: "I hope I could see that day, unfortunately, unfortunately…."
Xu Shi held the lifeless body in her arm as her tear never stopped falling.
"You will, husband. One day, you will."
She suddenly raised her hand to see the fortune mark had disappeared and understood the divination of the old beggar. However, if she knew this is how things would turn out, she would rather not have this fortune.
Xu Shi decided to calm down to think about the future.
'Should I go home or return to the Academy? No, it would be best to remain at the Academy. If I want to become a Great Emperor and revived husband, I will need the support and resources of an Emperor Lineage.
'Additionally, if the Academy knew that I inherited everything from Lin Fan, they would hunt me down and even destroy the Association of Chamber of Commerce.'
