When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 728 294 The Weakest at the Same Level

"Who the hell are you, bastard? Did you come here to cause trouble for me? For no reason, you made me kill someone. Are you here to disgust me?" Lao Qian angrily rushed over, grabbed the man's collar, and shook him vigorously. Seeing that the man showed no signs of waking up, he slapped him repeatedly, hard.

It was no use. The man lay motionless like a dead pig, unfazed by anything Lao Qian did.

Lao Qian was sweating profusely and sat on the ground in despair, staring blankly at the motionless, seemingly vegetative man.

He didn't know how strong his Illusory Sword truly was because he had been honing it within the Sword Soul Gate in the Realm of Life Illusion. He had only recently grasped its power and had never used it on a person before. Thus, he had no idea if this person could ever wake up after being struck by it.

In battles against the Spirit Demons, he had used his Illusory Sword a total of a dozen times so far, with the strongest opponent being a Light Base Spirit Demon, among which were some Super Spirits.

Based on Lao Qian's experience, not a single Spirit Demon, including Light Base ones, has ever woken up after being hit with his Illusory Sword.

However, Lao Qian still held onto a sliver of hope.

Although none of the Spirit Demons he had fought previously had awakened, they were all killed shortly after being struck by the Illusory Sword. He didn't know whether they could wake up after being affected by it for a longer period.

Perhaps over time, the Illusory Sword's effects might weaken, allowing the person to wake up?

Lao Qian kept vigil over the man, watching each minute pass by; it felt more torturous than waiting for recess as a child. Why was time moving so slowly?

"Xiao Qian." Lao Qian suddenly heard a voice that was both familiar and foreign, and he turned to look. An old, immortal stood outside the railing.

It was familiar because the old immortal was his father; his father's voice was unmistakable.

Yet it felt foreign because he had never heard his father sound so panicked and overwhelmed; his voice trembled as if something terrifying had happened to him.

"Old man, what's going on?" Lao Qian wanted to walk over, but the old immortal couldn't wait and rushed inside, pointing at the man affected by the Illusory Sword and exclaimed, "Xiao Qian, you've stirred up a deadly disaster!"

"What do you mean, old man?" Lao Qian asked, puzzled.

"Is this person struck by your Illusory Sword?" The old immortal's voice trembled as he asked.

"I don't know why this person went mad, insisting on trying my Illusory Sword. I didn't want to fight, but he forced my hand. It was out of necessity..." Lao Qian sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Old man, is this person from the four great families?"

"It would be better if he were from the four great families. Even if I had to kill an heir from these families, I'd stake my old bones to keep you alive, and there'd still be a chance." The old immortal said, his face ashen.

Lao Qian realized this might be a big problem, urgently saying, "Is this person's background even more significant than an heir of the four great families? What identity does he have? I can't fathom anyone whose status is above that of the heirs of the four great families."

"He's the Commander's son." The old immortal sighed.

"What... the Commander's son..." Lao Qian was stunned, struggling to comprehend, "But isn't the Commander only supposed to have one daughter, Li Qingyi? Where did an extra son come from?"

"He's the Commander's secret son." The old immortal rushed to the man's side, constantly slapping his face, trying to wake him up.

"The Commander's secret son... Could he be the legendary Technician Group Commander, Li Xiu?" Lao Qian suddenly realized who this man was.

"He is Li Xiu." No matter how hard the old immortal tried, he couldn't wake Li Xiu, growing even more anxious.

"So the rumors are true; Li Xiu really is the Commander's secret son! Old man, where did you hear this from? You couldn't have made a mistake, right?" Lao Qian asked hurriedly.

"How could that be wrong? Think about it; how could he become the Commander as soon as he joined Changsheng Heaven? How could he cause so much trouble inside Changsheng Heaven without anyone being able to touch him? Even Li Changmian was killed by him, and Li Changyin couldn't do anything about him. Do you find this normal?" The old immortal paused before continuing, "In fact, the Commander had long secretly informed us old folks, telling us to keep an eye on him, but who knew..."

Lao Qian listened, his face turning ashen: "Old man, there's no need to fear. I'm the one who caused this trouble, and I'll bear it alone. This has nothing to do with the family. If the Commander wants someone to pay him back, I'll let him take my life."

"Is this really your decision to make? The Commander finally had a son after thousands of years. If he really dies, then even if our entire family pays with our lives, it won't be enough." The old immortal said, shaking Li Xiu vigorously.

"Old man, stop shaking him; if he's struck by my Illusory Sword, there's no way this will wake him. We can only wait, wait for him to come out of the Illusion Realm himself..." Lao Qian said helplessly.

"Why did you insist on practicing that Illusory Sword? With so many paths ahead, why choose this dead-end road? I've told you countless times before to abandon the Illusion Sword, but you wouldn't listen. What do we do now?" The old immortal lamented, pounding his chest.
