Ferguson Ford, a well-known philanthropist of Strego City, had been engaged in charity for nearly twenty years. He had no idea how many he had helped in these twenty years.If there were indeed such a thing as a karmic cycle, Ferguson’s downfall would not have been so miserable.However, life was not a bed of roses. Many circumstances are predetermined. Some say their fates have been written right when they were born, and perhaps it really was so.No matter how influential, rich, or beautiful one was in life… They could only lie in a hospital bed and wail in their final moments.When Tyr Summers arrived at the hospital and joined Ferguson Ford, the former could tell that the latter lost significant weight compared to his better days. Ferguson was also not in a good mental state.Ferguson had no family, no wife, and no children. He was on his own for so many years.And now that he was lying in a hospital bed with a terminal illness eating away at the bits of his mortality, the onl
Since Ferguson Ford had personally made the request, there was no need for Tyr Summers to pry any further.“Very well. Lie down. I will perform acupuncture on you!”With that said, Tyr whipped out his Bian Que Needles and proceeded to disinfect them.“Have you thought this through, Mr. Ford? Once the cortisone needle is applied, you will have one or two days left to live. You’ll be in great pain before you depart.”“Just do it, Mr. Summers. I’m humbly asking you for a favor.”Ferguson’s deeply sunken eyes were filled with determination while the corners of his lips were lifted in a slight arc.“Alright!”Since Ferguson had made up his mind, Tyr needed not to say more about matters within his capabilities.Tyr began to use that set of Bian Que needles to apply the cortisone needle on Ferguson.Cortisone needles were not considered a profound technique. Many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners could administer them after locating the correct acupoints.However, the metho
Ferguson Ford married his childhood sweetheart, Fiona Yarbury, in the village where she gave birth to a child named Orson Ford.He thought that he would never leave the mountains, but when Orson Ford turned ten, Ferguson’s life underwent a major change.A group of youths who loved hunting came into the mountains driving an SUV that Ferguson had never seen before in his life. It was beyond doubt that they were affluent progenies.Amid this group of well-heeled kids was an attractive young woman.The group wanted to go into the mountain to hunt, but because they were unfamiliar with the hill’s topography, they sought out someone from the village to lead the way. That someone was Ferguson Ford.Ferguson led them in and found an abundance of prey inside the mountain. They returned fully loaded.However, on the way back, they were attacked by wild animals. Ferguson had laid down his own life to save the young woman.Ferguson suffered severe injuries from rescuing the woman, which led
In recent years, a concrete road was constructed for vehicles to enter the village. Ferguson Ford’s charity organization donated the fund to build the said road.Despite the existence of one such path, it was simply a more convenient trail for the people who wanted to travel out on foot. The trip still took time. After all, no one in Wincier Village could afford a car. Tyr Summers drove up the sinuous mountain pass while Ferguson, who sat in the back seat, stared out the window. The sight of the speeding landscape seemed to evoke lost memories.There was a trace of bitterness on Ferguson’s countenance, but he would smile faintly from time to time. This feeling was, in fact, heartbreaking.They journeyed on for nearly an hour before arriving at Wincier Village.This was a mountain village on a massive hill. The sight of it in the current day was still reminiscent of the 1990s. Many houses still had cob walls.Although they received donations from Ferguson’s charity foundation,
When Orson Ford was halfway through the passage, he suddenly stopped. He seemed to be reflecting on something, appearing dazed.The symbolic connotation of the text was profound. Based on Orson Ford’s experience, it was reasonable for him to react in such a way. A hush fell over the class with Orson’s sudden silence. The students stared at Orson, not quite understanding the situation. The silence persisted for approximately ten seconds until Orson turned his head to stare out the window.Then, he noticed a familiar yet foreign man who was clearly at death’s door standing outside.Orson’s mind went blank in that instant. It took him a good long while to react.The other villagers of Wincier Village might not recognize him, but Orson definitely could. After all, he was his father.“Students, let’s have a self-study session.”Orson briefed them, set down his textbook, and left the classroom.On the grass plot outside the classroom, Ferguson Ford exerted strenuous effort to rema
After a simple conversation, Sachin Taylor left the funeral wake with Benjamin Lloyd and his group.Many children suddenly came into the service site at the end of the service. Their ages varied. These children were dressed in plain clothes and holding white flowers in their hands. One by one, they came in to bid Ferguson Ford a final goodbye. Their tiny faces were clouded with grief. It was the sort of emotion that was hard to pretend, and some of them were unable to resist the urge to cry.Ferguson financially supported these children. Compared to those dignitaries who came in to pay their respects, the children’s display of emotions was much more genuine.***A man with glasses had stood before the building of the memorial site for quite some time. He was hesitant to enter as there was an intense struggle taking place on his mind. In the end, he chose not to go in. He then turned around and was ready to leave.Just then, someone called out to him from behind.“No matter what
The next morning, Tyr Summers left Khanh City for Strego City.The great battle was scheduled to take place in a month. Now, the time had finally arrived for the war on Nameless Island of Dunham Lake to take place.That evening, this villa district of West Lake was bustling with activity. All the combat experts that sided with Tyr’s, together with the major clans’ elites, had arrived.The Yorke family, the Quintus family, the Lund family, the Jones family, the Wolf’s Den, Canonteign Mansion of West Suez, and other forces had allocated their elites to gather at the West Lake Villa area. The group was made up of several forces that were nearly five hundred people strong.This battle wasn’t the so-called underground gang fight; being greater in number didn't necessarily affect the outcome of the war. This war was a martial arts event that can determine the future of the entire southern clans. Though it was a battle between Tyr and Sachin, the winner got to determine the south’s future
Suddenly, Sachin was taking in a deep breath after being silent for a while. He narrowed his eyes to take in the entirety of Nameless Island laid before him.“Confidence is good, but don’t be arrogant. Perhaps this battle might not be as easy as you think.”Alec Moore frowned. He and Sachin had known each other for a long time.They had already known each other long before Sachin was trapped inside the Golden Pagoda. They could be considered close friends when they were young.Alec was ruthless in his younger days. When the old master of the Moore family passed away, Alec was holding the worst cards on the table among other candidates. Yet, he ended up rising to become the head of the Moore family. It was only clear to his conscience how many vicious and wicked things he had done to sit on the throne.Birds of a feather flock together. Alec also inhabited the personality of a demon. It was no wonder he could work with Sachin to reach a cooperation agreement.Alec said, “Sachin, a
As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt depressed.“Are you kidding me?” Those from Regal Palace couldn’t accept Magus’s speculation. Clifford chided, “Stop talking nonsense, old priest! My boss has experienced all kinds of life and death challenges along the way. How can he possibly be comatose?”Everyone in Regal Palace was very emotional. Magus just shook his head repeatedly and stopped refuting. Finally, Jim took control of the situation by force and declared, “It’s pointless for us to say all this. Let’s settle the current situation. We’ll discuss the aftermath once Boss is awake.”The battle of Gods had ended. Tyr, who had returned as a God, had slain Apophis and opened up the Heavenly Gate. In order to protect mankind and prevent a recurrence of the tragedy that took place 3,000 years ago, he had forcibly closed the gate with his luck and cultivation. He ended up falling into a coma. No one knew when he would wake up.The threat posed by Apophis had ended. W
Tyr stood before Apophis and raised the Celestial Blade above Apophis’ head. If he continued to let out another powerful slash with his blade, Apophis would disappear from the face of the earth.Yet, Tyr suddenly stopped at this point when he was one step away from wiping out Apophis. He could slay Apophis with a single attack, but he hesitated to kill him.“Muahahahahaha! Bahahahahaha!” Apophis’ hideous laughter suddenly sounded in Tyr’s ears. The eerie laughter made his scalp prickle in discomfort.A crack appeared in the black hole in the void behind Apophis. A flash of white light appeared amid the crack. It appeared as if there was a terrifying eye peeping from somewhere behind the white light from the crack.“What the heck is that thing?”“What’s going on?” Those powerhouses who stood somewhere far away also witnessed the scene.Tyr’s terrifying blade earlier on had shattered the angel who stood behind Apophis and the void into pieces. Perhaps he had used too much power for
The golden dragon constantly churned in the angel’s hands. The moment the majestic beast was released from its restraints, it opened its mouth wide and bit the angel.Tyr waved the Celestial Blade in his hand simultaneously. “Binding Soul!”He performed the sixth move from the Seven Blade Forms casually. Initially, this blade technique belonged to the God’s realm. Since Tyr had become a God, he was capable of displaying the full power of the Seven Blade Forms.It was a peerless attack. Tyr had opened a massive rift in the void, and the crack was still blasting atApophis. In the face of such a terrifying attack, Apophis dared not take it lightly. A huge energy barrier instantly enveloped his body and blocked off Tyr’s attack.With a single blow, Apophis’ energy barrier was shattered. He was also blasted by the attack and flew toward the back. After he stabilized his body, Apophis trembled slightly. At this moment, his expression suddenly turned a little solemn.When he gazed at Tyr
Another terrifying energy ball of light had descended from the sky. It appeared as though a giant meteorite from outer space had fallen from the sky. A large area of whiteness suddenly appeared in front of their eyes. The meridians of those Transformation powerhouses who experienced the frightening energy fluctuation were shattered, and they were on the verge of death.Whether it was the Demigods or general powerhouses, all of them felt that death had come to them and they couldn’t escape.“It’s over!” Jim shut his eyes. The Ragnarok Formation had disintegrated instantly under the second attack of Apophis. Everyone was exposed to this desperate situation of death.Boom!The second ball of light had successfully fallen from the sky. However, it did not cause the same lethal destruction as everyone had imagined. On the contrary, they seemed to have entered a parallel space.They saw the terrifying energy spread frantically in all directions in front of them. These people didn’t feel
At this moment, nearly half of the powerhouses had died under Apophis’ oppression. Even the generals in Regal Palace had suffered casualties. Apophis pushed forward for another kilometer. He almost floated above everyone’s heads at this time.“I’m losing it! How much longer does Tyr need to show up here?” Dillon and Keane vomited blood. That terrifying oppression even made them feel as if all the bones in their bodies were almost broken. “If he doesn’t show up now, all of us would die!”Jim didn’t dare continue to observe the Nostro Compass. Instead, he focused his full attention on the Ragnarok Formation. He seemed to have activated a special ancient formation. In the next second, those white beams of light, which had become much weaker, once again rushed straight into the sky.“Everyone! Form a formation!” Jim roared. “Tyr has become a God, and he’s on his way here! We only need to hang on for thirty minutes!”When the news of Tyr’s return as a God spread, everyone who had fallen
“He’s here!” Everyone on Mount Rospids became alarmed as they witnessed an incredibly powerful force sweeping at them from the horizon. “Start the formation!” Jim erupted with a roar, and everyone used their full power and poured it into the Ragnarok Formation. Immediately, countless beams of light rushed straight into the sky and connected with the huge whirlpool in the sky.“Three thousand kilometers worth of sword energy!”Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Hundreds of thousands of sword energy flew out from the whirlpool as they formed a tidal wave and shot straight toward Apophis. The void shook tremendously. The sword energy poured out frantically and flew for more than ten kilometers.“God Killer Swords!” Apophis was floating in the air. An excited smile appeared on his face in the face of the berserk surging tide of the sword energies.“I can’t believe that formation is capable of piquing my interest in this world. I don’t mind having some fun!”A purple barrier that was shaped w
In the towering crystal tower located in the Arctic, there was a layer of purple light that wrapped all over Apophis’s body, which seemed to be forged by the Amethyst.Under the leadership of the Dark Pope and Dark Priest, many of GPE’s top executives knelt on the ground and worship Apophis.An enormous vortex had formed in the sky. It was formed with the convergence of the reiki in the entire Arctic. Apophis flew into the air. He opened his mouth and sucked the reiki in the vortex ferociously. Soon, he sucked the entire massive vortex into his body.Roar! With a loud roar, the thunderclouds in his surroundings scrambled all over. After a while, Apophis’ back began to crack, and golden wings began to burst out from his back.Two wings, four wings, six wings… In the end, a total of sixteen wings appeared on his back. He appeared incredibly majestic and terrifying.When Dark Pope and others saw this scene, they were very excited.Apophis was suspended high in the sky. He fluttered
Though Tyr was ten kilometers away, Xavion and Magus couldn’t help but feel like they had the urge to kneel down and worship him. Even Cicero, a Son of Heaven, felt as if his legs had gone limp and his body was trembling all over.Roar! Roar! Roar! The roar of the golden dragon came incessantly; its roar resounding throughout the world.Soon, Tyr stepped on the golden dragon and flew down from the void while the Eternal Dragon still hovered in the air.“Tyr, congratulations on becoming a God.” The group couldn’t contain the excitement in their hearts as they walked toward Tyr.“Hmm.” Tyr tucked away the majestic radiance that radiated from his body.The golden light on his body gradually disappeared. When he was reborn, he felt his whole body was brimming with power, and he had just undergone a rebirth.“Tyr, what does it feel like to become a God?” Cicero stared at Tyr with a smile and asked.“Dude, I thought you’ve ascended to the heavenly realm.” Tyr slapped his hand heavily on
“Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!” Cicero waved his hand repeatedly. He didn’t expect his nickname to be widespread in Dragun Squad. Even the almighty Demigods like Magus knew his name.Cicero rebuked, “My name is Cicero Julus! I’m not a horny cat!”Magus sized Cicero from the head to toe, a number of questions popping up in his mind.He couldn’t help but ask, “Dude, I heard that you were invited by the squad to explore Emperor Martyn’s royal tomb with Tyr in the past. After that, you shattered the void with a million of clay soldiers inside the royal tomb. Why would you suddenly show up here? According to Tyr, you are most likely to be the reincarnation of Emperor Martyn. By right, you have ascended to the heavenly realm under the escort of the clay soldiers.”“F*ck the heavenly realm!” Cicero cursed loudly. He stared at Tyr, who was waiting for the ninth lightning to strike, and explained, “I’ve broken through the void for the sake of that guy!”“What do you mean?” Magus and Xavion were startl
