“In the final moments of my life and soul, Caier, would you be willing to call me teacher?” As Ilex asked Caier this question, a faint sadness unconsciously appeared on his face.

“Teacher, you…” Caier blurted out almost instinctively. How could Ilex’s story not move her and Long Haochen? Long Haochen was somewhat better; although Ilex was pitiful, the mistakes he had made against humanity were too sinful. Although Long Haochen sympathized with him, he would never forgive him for the sins he had committed against humanity.

But Caier was, after all, just a girl who had suffered such painful experiences in her childhood. Her sympathy for Ilex was greater than that of Long Haochen. At this time, she only felt that this once incomparably powerful undead mage was so pitiful. She had nothing but sympathy for his plight.

“Good, good, good…” Just hearing Caier call out the word “teacher,” Ilex’s emotions already showed a violent soul fluctuation.

“Good child. Although I am not worthy to be your teacher, just hearing you call me that gives my heart a sense of comfort. I, Ilex, have done countless great things in my life. But in the end, the thing that makes me feel the most honored is to have a disciple like you. Don’t worry, teacher will leave you a great gift. When you return to the human world, no one will be able to bully you. So what if Long Haochen is the Son of Light? My disciple, Ilex’s disciple, will never be worse than him.”

Speaking of this, Ilex’s pride as the Undead Saint Mage and Scourge of the Undead seemed to emerge again. He raised his right hand and beckoned towards Caier, instantly attracting the Reaper Scythe in her hand. Strangely, the powerful Reaper Scythe, which was almost the nemesis of all undead, was now wrapped in a gray-black power in Ilex’s hand, and its own purification power could not be released at all.

Looking up at the sky, Ilex smiled coldly, “This Eternal Tower can be said to be one of my greatest achievements in my life. I didn’t expect that after such a long sleep, it has evolved to such an extent on its own. Want to escape my control? You underestimate me too much. Caier, I am about to leave. Since you called me teacher, I will leave this Eternal Tower to you. It has evolved to a level extremely close to a divine artifact. Its own intelligence has become spiritual. I will remove all the excess things from it. From now on, it will be your weapon of offense and defense. And these excess powers, after I purify them, you and your companions can absorb them to your heart’s content. Don’t waste them. Once these excess powers are absorbed, you can leave here.”

As he spoke, the Eternal Tower suddenly trembled violently, and a huge spiritual power wave suddenly surged violently in all directions, as if struggling desperately.

Ilex said arrogantly, “Still want to struggle? You were created by me. Do you think that having spiritual wisdom can escape my control? I had already considered all possible future situations when I created you. Don’t say that you are still a line away from being a divine artifact, even if you really become a divine artifact, it will still be as easy as flipping my hand to destroy you.”

His left finger pointed to the sky, and a gray-black light suddenly shot out, piercing the top of the Eternal Tower. Instantly, from the coffin beneath Ilex, large puffs of gray-black mist surged out, spreading in all directions. And the power of the Eternal Tower surged even more fiercely. Inside the entire Eternal Tower, there was a violent tremor like an earthquake. Countless wails of wraiths turned into sharp howls.

No one knew what Ilex had done, but the tremors of the Eternal Tower gradually weakened under the injection of the gray-black aura, and large puffs of white light began to be stripped from the Eternal Tower and floated in the space. Immediately afterwards, countless gray-black auras began to converge on Ilex from all directions like rivers flowing into the sea, injecting into his soul. In just a moment, Ilex’s soul had become as black as ink.

“Wisdom deprivation, power deprivation, purification.” Ilex’s majestic voice echoed within each level of the Eternal Tower. Countless wraiths vanished into thin air amidst screams of fear. The purest soul power and the various elemental attributes that were stripped away gathered together. The terrifying stripping power even completely stripped the attributes of these elements themselves, leaving only the purest energy.

As the gray-black aura grew stronger and stronger, a gray-black halo even began to appear around Ilex’s body. The Eternal Tower, however, gradually turned into a pure white color, pure and flawless.

The violent tremors gradually turned into slight tremors, and then all movement was lost. Everything seemed to return to calm. Only the large amount of white light spots floating in the air, containing surging spiritual power fluctuations, slowly rhythmically pulsated.

Caier could clearly feel that the Eternal Tower had changed. It had become quiet and pure. It seemed that all negative things, including emotions, had disappeared under Ilex’s stripping. Moreover, a strange connection appeared in her heart. The connection between the Eternal Melody, which was represented by Long Haochen’s head, and the Eternal Tower seemed to have become even closer.

“After purification, the Eternal Tower will be a divine artifact of offense and defense. Although I have stripped away many of its powers and wisdom, it is still much stronger than ordinary divine artifacts. Through the connection between the Eternal Melody and it, it will gradually merge with your soul and become a part of your body. In this way, you will have as long a life as Long Haochen, who inherited my Eternal Heart.”

A complex expression appeared in Caier’s eyes. It could be said that she and Ilex had no intersection at all before Long Haochen was killed by the Demon God Emperor. But she never expected that she would be the one who eventually inherited most of Ilex’s power. Although Ilex’s undead magic was not passed on to her, both the vast death energy contained in the Eternal Melody and the Eternal Tower were the essence of Ilex’s life of cultivation. Thinking of his lonely life, Caier’s eyes could not help but moisten. She slowly knelt down in the direction of Ilex and called out again, “Teacher.”

Ilex smiled, and he smiled very happily, a kind of joy from the bottom of his heart. He said loudly: “If there can really be an afterlife, I don’t want to be the Son of Light again, I just want to be an ordinary human being. Find a woman who loves me and is pure, marry her, and have our children. Live a peaceful life. I have been glorious, and I have also fallen. And all of this, from the next moment, will return to nothingness. Goodbye, child. Stay by the side of the person you love, teacher, bless you.”

As he spoke, the Reaper Scythe in his hand suddenly turned, and the huge blade bloomed with thousands of white lights under the injection of that terrifying soul power. That purifying light was even more intense than when Caier used the Seven Absolutes of the Reaper. The blade slashed straight down, cutting into the coffin beneath him with a bang.

“Puff—”

Under the urging of Ilex’s vast and boundless soul power, the terrifying purification light erupted with unprecedentedly intense brilliance. A harsh clanging sound rang out, as if something had broken open within the Reaper Scythe.

Ilex’s arrogant voice echoed, “So what if it’s the God of Death? I will break your seal during this purification. Let’s see how you can backfire on my disciple. If I wanted to, I would have been a god long ago.”

“Holding…the sun and moon…picking stars, in this world…no one…like me…, haha, haha…haha…”

All the darkness and filth gradually dissipated in the pure white purification light, and only Ilex’s arrogant voice echoed within the seven floors of the Eternal Tower.

Holding the sun and moon and picking stars, in this world, no one is like me. What arrogance, what self-confidence, and what…sorrow.

The former Son of Light, the former Undead Saint Mage and Scourge of the Undead who brought great disaster to mankind, Ilex, has gone. But when he left this world forever, there was finally one person to see him off.

Caier knelt on the ground, her face already covered with tears.

Compared to men, women are more emotional. At this time, Caier had completely forgotten that the one who was heading towards nothingness was the Scourge of the Undead who had given mankind a near-fatal blow. She only knew that it was this generation of heavenly pride who had died long ago, leaving only his soul, who had saved her man, reshaping Long Haochen’s heart so that they could continue to be together. No matter what Ilex had done, Caier was saddened by his soul scattering at this time. Ilex had a difficult life, but he seemed exceptionally happy when he turned into nothingness. After all, there was still someone who would be sad because of his death. Things that were so simple for ordinary people were so precious to him.

The purification lasted for half an hour, and the entire space gradually calmed down. Only the countless white light spots filled with pure energy floated in the air.

With a light “ding” sound, the Reaper Scythe quietly landed, also awakening Caier from her sadness. She took a step out subconsciously and grasped the Reaper Scythe in her hand.

It was not only Ilex’s soul that disappeared, but even the pure gold coffin from before had disappeared without a trace. It did not even leave a trace of his aura behind.

At the moment when Caier held the Reaper Scythe, a strange feeling instantly spread throughout her body. She only felt that there was something more in her life. And this strangeness was precisely transmitted from the Reaper Scythe—

Yesterday, Tian’er told me that many book friends sympathize with Ilex very much, and feel that Xiao Long’s attitude towards him is relatively poor, and he is unwilling to accept his inheritance.

In fact, I am very pleased, because everyone’s doubts prove that I have written the character of Ilex very well. However, what everyone must not forget is that Ilex vented his anger on the entire continent because of the harm he suffered. Because of the Scourge of the Undead he initiated, how many innocent human beings died, or were turned into undead? The killings he committed numbered in the millions. No matter how much he regrets it, no matter how much injustice he has encountered, he cannot change the sins he has committed. Aren’t those innocent human beings who died because of him also pitiful? Right.

Xiao Long is the Son of Light, and of course he deeply hates the sins that Ilex has committed, so how could he accept his undead inheritance? Moreover, if he became an undead mage, how could he still be the Son of Light.

And in the end, Xiao Long actually sympathized with Ilex’s experience in his heart. However, the crimes that Ilex committed cannot be forgiven. Ilex himself also knows this very well, so he chose to self-purify and leave. This is his great enlightenment.

Holding the sun and moon and picking stars, in this world, no one is like me. What a domineering aura, a generation of heroes finally has this ending, which can be regarded as complete.

Well, the last thing I want to say is that I have typed so many words for free to explain to everyone, that, will you throw some monthly tickets and recommendation tickets at me? If you really like the character of Ilex, then use the tickets in your hands to send him off.
