Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1293: Half Alive, Half Dead

The Nirvana Stones of the Phoenix Clan are black, those of the Phoenix Clan are red, and that of the future clan leader is half red, half black, embodying both.

But what unknown significance does this color-changing Nirvana Stone have?

He asked in a low voice, "After putting it on, how painful is it?"

"Like steel needles piercing the bone, very hard to endure. Helplessly, I took it off, but before it changed color, wearing it felt very pleasant..."

Fang Liang spoke softly.

Elder Sima listened, nodding as Fang Liang finished, then pondered for a moment before speaking, "Let me see your leg."

Fang Liang raised his eyebrows slightly; although there was a hint of resistance in his heart, he hesitantly rolled up his pants without knowing why.

Then, he revealed the wound on his broken leg.

Elder Sima squatted down and used his Spiritual Power to observe, and to his astonishment, he discovered there was indeed Spiritual Energy flowing, though extremely faint and subtle.

Moreover, that Spiritual Energy bore some resemblance to the Phoenix Clan’s Nirvana.

A thought arose spontaneously.

Elder Sima suddenly extended his hand, and a flame conjured itself at his fingertip out of thin air. Then, with a flip of his hand, he applied this tiny flame to Fang Liang’s wound.

Fang Liang was startled but remained motionless.

As the flame touched the skin, it unexpectedly melted like a pool of water.

In an instant, it merged with the skin.

Elder Sima withdrew his hand, his speculation confirmed.

Perhaps this is fate.

The legendary occurrences happened to appear before him.

Elder Sima stood upright, placed his hands behind his back, and looked into Fang Liang’s eyes, speaking word by word, "Fang Liang, if there is a fifty percent chance for you to stand again, will you come with me?"

Usually composed, Fang Liang finally showed shock, his dark eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Elder Sima, trembling, "What you mean by... standing, how do you mean?"

"Like a normal person."

"But my... this leg?"

"I think, when you gave Xiao Wen the Red Phoenix, you roughly guessed something in your heart. I won’t lie to you, also repaying you for giving up the Phoenix Clan’s sacred object. Your leg can regenerate, but only with a fifty percent chance..."

Fang Liang’s heart finally pounded violently, and his expression was no longer calm, full of shock, muttering, "Standing truly, just like before?"

"Yes, but there is also a fifty percent chance of failed rebirth, for which you must pay with your life."

Elder Sima enunciated each word clearly.

Elder Sima had never encountered something like this before, so he could only speak conservatively.

Moreover, because Fang Liang was an ordinary person, although his body had silently been altered over the decades by the Nirvana Stone and the Red Phoenix, his bloodline remained that of an ordinary person.

Perhaps going with him would change his entire life, or perhaps, his life would end here.

Fang Liang looked steadily at Elder Sima and likewise, Elder Sima looked at him.

Fang Liang had already calmly accepted the occurrences around him during this period.

Thus, he was not shocked by Elder Sima igniting the flame earlier, but Elder Sima’s words caused turbulence like waves crashing within his heart.

His heart perhaps once had a sliver of hope, but that was only in dreams; he never thought one day this dream might become reality.

Yet, it was indeed the case now.

This elder was Xiao Wen’s father, he would not speak aimlessly or say irrelevant things.

Then everything he just said was true; he had half a chance to become a normal person, but also half a chance of leaving this world forever.

But isn’t this life?

When opportunity comes, if not seized, it would bring a lifetime of regret.

Moreover, even if there is only a fifty percent chance, it’s an incredible temptation for Fang Liang.

If heaven favors him, and he could become a normal person once more, even with just a fifty percent chance, he wants to try.

Fang Liang was inherently a decisive person, not prone to indecision. He figured everything out in an instant. He then looked at Elder Sima with fervent eyes and gratefully said, "Uncle Sima, your great kindness and virtue, I will never forget. I will go with you!"

Elder Sima waved his hand, "Fang Liang, it’s not about great kindness, it’s fate arriving here, heaven’s will."

"Do I need to prepare anything?"

"Just bring some personal items, but be ready to endure hardships."

"Uncle Sima, please rest assured, no matter what hardships arise, I can endure them."

Elder Sima glanced at his leg, nodding quietly, believing Fang Liang’s words.

Someone like him is truly capable of enduring hardship.

Yet he had to ask Fang Liang a question, "Why do you trust me so easily? Is it because I’m Xiao Wen’s father?"

Fang Liang thought for a moment, and after a while, his clear voice sounded serenely in the study, "Uncle Sima, to be honest, that’s one reason. But the most important point is the old man who gave me the Red Phoenix Gemstone years ago, you two have a particularly similar aura."

"Oh?" Elder Sima raised an eyebrow slightly.

According to Xiao Wen, this Fang Liang refused to reveal who that old man was.

Unexpectedly, he brought it up himself.

Elder Sima asked calmly, "Fang Liang, could you tell who that old man was?"

Fang Liang gently shook his head and apologetically said, "Uncle Sima, the old man told me on his deathbed to take good care of the Red Phoenix Gemstone and go with the flow in all things. He said he came from the dust, so he returns to the dust, needing not for the world to know his whereabouts..."

Elder Sima waved his hand, "I understand."

He no longer pursued the old man’s origins, but faintly knew that this old man was probably the clan leader of the Phoenix Clan, who was said to have died long ago.

Because the clan leader committed an unforgivable mistake, causing the divine item Red Phoenix to be lost, the pearl in his mouth fell, leading to a series of internal strife and disasters in the Phoenix Clan.

It’s known that at that time, the strength and people of the Phoenix Clan were much greater than those of the Phoenix Clan.

But after this incident, the Phoenix Clan declined, and the clan leader supposedly died to apologize, after which the elders led the remaining people away from their homeland.

Elder Sima thought, perhaps the Phoenix Clan’s leader did not die. He vanished with this divine item Red Phoenix, likely always searching for a way to restore it to its original state.

Sadly, he searched all over Jiangnan but could not find anyone like Gu Qiaoqiao.

Thus, he left this world with regrets.

Moreover, carrying immense guilt, he naturally didn’t want the people of the Phoenix Clan or Phoenix Clan to know of his existence. Let it be assumed he died early.
