Chapter 1233: Chapter 1237: I’ll Take the Punishment with You

“We cannot defeat it.”

“You’re the Sun Slayer, but we can no longer manage it,” the old village chief said shakily.

With that, the village chief sent the young boy to the village.

After a while, the boy ran out of the village and handed Zhu Minglang a small bag of Seven-colored Divine Sand.

The Spirit Root within the Seven-colored Divine Sand had not evaporated; they were still emitting a dense Spiritual Energy.

“This will restore your strength to the God Son Level, but the next time the Sun Crown arrives, you must find your own way to withstand it,” the old village chief told Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang looked at the small bag of Seven-colored Divine Sand. It was the result of the entire village’s tireless work throughout the year.

They entrusted it to someone like himself, a stranger, which left Zhu Minglang momentarily at a loss for words.

He had felt it when he first arrived.

This world was so barren that merely depending on these bits of Spirit Root could never elevate one to a Realm capable of contending with the sun, especially when they were forced to endure the evaporation of their Cultivation Base periodically.

But Zhu Minglang still accepted the villagers’ gift.

Clearly, he was not the first one they had pinned their hopes on.

Every person who left the village carrying these Spirit Roots represented their hope.

“Take care, Brother Zhu!” The girl couldn’t help but shout as she watched Zhu Minglang’s receding figure.

The boy beside her hurriedly covered her mouth with his hand.

Zhu Minglang had already walked far away but still turned his head back to glance at the playful siblings.

As he walked, until the entire Blue Sand River that falls from the sky turned into a line connecting the sky and the earth, Zhu Minglang suddenly remembered:

He had never told the villagers his name.

…

Since stepping out of Blue Sand Village, the journey was long.

Searching for Immortal Herbs on the barren land, battling with Great Fierce Beasts in the open and unprotected red land; whenever he saw Heavenly Water pouring down from the sky, Zhu Minglang would hurriedly run towards it, greedily drinking a mouthful of Heavenly Water, feeling as if returned to his homeland, hearing the old people’s laughter and the playful youths in the village…

But as long as the intense sun hung in the sky, releasing explosively and arrogantly the Sun Crown to evaporate the Spirit Root and vitality of people, Zhu Minglang could not stop his pace.

He climbed the highest mountain in the God Mountain Range, wanting to stand at the same height as the sun, only to find that all the Divine Mountains under the vast sky were very far from the sun.

Here, Zhu Minglang seemed tireless, not knowing how many Realms he had crossed.

He remembered a myth, Kua Fu chasing the sun.

He had now also become a god who chased the sun.

He remembered a myth, Hou Yi shooting the sun.

He had now also become a god who needed to slay the sun.

Yet upon seeing the true face of the sun, Zhu Minglang felt a tremendous shock!!

That resilience not inferior to Kua Fu’s, that resolve comparable to Hou Yi’s, seemed to crumble at that moment!

“Do you not remember me?”

Those white eyes, as if questioning himself.

“I’m sorry, I lost you…” Zhu Minglang said.

“You were just looking for me, you couldn’t control the fiery breath in you.”

“It’s not your fault, it’s mine, but ultimately it hurt too many people, and they are also my children.”

“They want me to punish you.”

“I will plead with them.”

…

“I will share the punishment with you.”
