    Chapter 182

    Su Hao raised an eyebrow.

    "Simple?"


    ---

    Xiaobu nodded as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

    "Of course!"

    "In three days, Huiyang City will hold the Autumn Harvest Festival."

    "The Life Bearer personally presides over it every year."

    "You'll definitely see him then."


    ---

    Su Hao nodded silently.

    "Waiting another three days..."

    "That's acceptable."


    ---

    Xiaobu looked at him curiously.

    "Do you admire Lord Life Bearer?"


    ---

    Su Hao nodded.

    "I suppose so."

    "He seems... quite powerful."


    ---

    Xiaobu's eyes immediately sparkled.

    "Of course!"

    "Lord Life Bearer is the guardian deity of Huiyang City."

    "Everyone says that without him, Huiyang City would never have become what it is today."


    ---

    Seeing the confusion in Su Hao's eyes...

    She proudly continued.

    "Huiyang City wasn't always like this."

    "I heard it used to be chaotic."

    "Powerful Mutants fought day and night."

    "People died every single day."

    "But after Lord Life Bearer arrived..."

    "Everything changed."

    She smiled brightly.

    "Look at Huiyang City now."

    "It's wonderful."

    "I really love living here."


    ---

    Su Hao nodded thoughtfully.

    "What about the other three Seventh-Tier Mutants?"

    "Don't they also protect Huiyang City?"


    ---

    Xiaobu shook her head.

    "I'm not sure."

    "But I've heard people say..."

    "As long as Lord Life Bearer is here..."

    "All-Seeing, Constant, and Still remain peaceful."

    "But..."

    She lowered her voice.

    "Lord Life Bearer is already very old."

    "I don't know how much longer he can continue protecting everyone."

    "I don't really understand these things..."

    "I just know..."

    "He's very important."


    ---

    Power...

    Could be inherited.

    But spirit...

    Could not.

    Once both disappeared...

    Everything built upon them would slowly collapse with time.


    ---

    Dongling Pavilion wasn't close.

    Yet Xiaobu chatted happily the entire way.

    She never once complained about being tired.

    Instead...

    The more she spoke with Su Hao...

    The brighter her smile became.

    The way she looked at him grew increasingly... enthusiastic.


    ---

    That gaze made Su Hao distinctly uncomfortable.

    Without realizing it...

    He quietly increased the distance between them.


    ---

    Unfortunately...

    Xiaobu immediately closed the gap again.

    No matter how far he moved...

    She simply followed.


    ---

    Perhaps...

    This was the burden of being handsome.


    ---

    "You run..."

    "She chases..."

    "Even growing wings won't help."


    ---

    Apparently...

    The saying wasn't entirely wrong.


    ---

    After wandering around Dongling Pavilion for quite some time...

    Su Hao finally couldn't take it anymore.

    He stopped.

    "Xiaobu."

    "Thank you for everything today."

    "We'll part here."


    ---

    With that...

    He turned to leave.


    ---

    Xiaobu immediately panicked.

    She hurried after him and grabbed his sleeve.

    "But..."

    "You haven't told me where to find you!"


    ---

    Su Hao gently pulled his sleeve free.

    "No need."

    "I'll be leaving Huiyang City in a few days."


    ---

    Without another word...

    He disappeared into the crowd.


    ---

    Xiaobu stood there quietly.

    Watching his figure vanish.

    An indescribable feeling of disappointment filled her heart.


    ---

    Just then...

    Someone lightly tapped her shoulder.


    ---

    She turned around.

    "Wei-ge?!"


    ---

    Joy instantly returned to her face.


    ---

    Su Hao handed her a small money pouch.

    "Xiaobu."

    "Thank you for showing me around today."

    "This is your reward."


    ---

    After saying that...

    He turned and disappeared into the crowd once again.


    ---

    Xiaobu looked down at the money pouch in her hands.

    For a moment...

    She felt as though her feelings had somehow been... bought.


    ---

    After a while...

    She gently weighed the pouch in her hand.

    A grin slowly spread across her face.

    "...Actually."

    "This isn't bad at all."

    "I got both money..."

    "...and met a handsome guy."

    "I made a profit!"


    ---

    ...


    ---

    Waiting another three days wasn't a problem.

    Meanwhile...

    Su Hao continued gathering information about both the Life Bearer and the Autumn Harvest Festival.

    Naturally...

    He wasn't about to rely solely on Xiaobu's rather unreliable explanations.


    ---

    After making inquiries throughout the city...

    He confirmed two important facts.

    First...

    The Autumn Harvest Festival would indeed begin in three days.

    Second...

    The Life Bearer personally presided over it every single year.


    ---

    There was another discovery as well.

    After All-Seeing had suddenly disappeared...

    Huiyang City should have descended into chaos.

    Instead...

    Everything stabilized almost immediately.


    ---

    That alone demonstrated one thing.

    The Life Bearer's authority within Huiyang City far surpassed everyone else's.

    Even after the disappearance of one Seventh-Tier Mutant...

    The city continued functioning normally.


    ---

    During these two days...

    Su Hao also noticed another phenomenon.

    More and more outsiders were arriving.

    The streets became increasingly crowded.

    Had he arrived only three days later...

    Finding accommodation would probably have been impossible.


    ---

    At the same time...

    His radar detected a steadily increasing number of Sixth-Tier Mutants entering Huiyang City.

    It immediately reminded him of something.


    ---

    The Earth Lord he had killed in Lingyuan City had once said...

    The Life Bearer was nearing the end of his lifespan.


    ---

    Apparently...

    It wasn't only Earth Lords from Anliang City who had gathered here.

    Earth Lords...

    And countless other Sixth-Tier Mutants...

    Were arriving from across the continent.

    All of them...

    Were waiting.

    Waiting for the Life Bearer to die.


    ---

    Of course...

    It wasn't limited to Earth Lords.

    Many other Sixth-Tier Mutants had likely come as well.

    Everyone hoped to seize the opportunity during the inevitable struggle that would follow.


    ---

    One might think advancing from Earth Lord to Life Bearer was simple.

    After all...

    Both Su Hao and Yashan had evolved without difficulty.


    ---

    But in reality...

    The mortality rate during natural evolution was terrifyingly high.


    ---

    Before attempting the breakthrough...

    A Mutant first had to accumulate an enormous amount of Blood Energy.

    Su Hao possessed special cultivation methods.

    People of this world did not.


    ---

    To strengthen themselves...

    They had only one option.

    Kill Mutants of the same tier.

    Devour their flesh.

    Steal fragments of their genetic information.


    ---

    The problem...

    Was that Sixth-Tier Mutants were extraordinarily difficult to kill.

    Some possessed defensive abilities so overwhelming...

    They could simply stand still while others failed to injure them.


    ---

    Thus...

    Every Sixth-Tier Mutant faced two nearly impossible obstacles.

    First—

    Accumulate enough Blood Energy.

    Second—

    Obtain the flesh of a Seventh-Tier Mutant.


    ---

    Those two barriers alone prevented almost everyone from advancing.

    Only the truly fortunate...

    The ones favored by fate...

    Could seize such opportunities and eventually become Seventh-Tier Mutants.


    ---

    Therefore...

    Information became the greatest treasure.

    Most Sixth-Tier Mutants occupied cities and built organizations.

    Not for power...

    But to gather intelligence.


    ---

    Wherever an opportunity appeared...

    So did they.


    ---

    They searched the entire continent.

    Seeking only one thing.

    The chance to evolve.


    ---

    Su Hao sighed softly.

    "The ordinary citizens..."

    "Hope the Life Bearer lives."

    "But almost every Earth Lord gathered here..."

    "Is praying for his death."


    ---

    No matter what someone did...

    There would always be people wishing for their success.

    And others...

    Waiting eagerly for their downfall.


    ---

    For the next two days...

    Su Hao simply wandered through Huiyang City.

    Sampling local food.

    Observing unfamiliar customs.

    Watching the countless different ways ordinary people lived.


    ---

    The night before the Autumn Harvest Festival...

    Inside the study of Dongling Pavilion...


    ---

    An old man sat quietly in the seat of honor.

    His bald head reflected the candlelight.

    His short white beard curled slightly beneath his chin.

    His face was covered in wrinkles.

    His skin had become dry and weathered with age.

    Even the fine hairs around his ears had already fallen away.


    ---

    At first glance...

    He appeared no different from an ordinary elderly man nearing the end of his life.

    Yet...

    The invisible pressure surrounding him was overwhelming.

    Simply sitting there...

    He inspired instinctive reverence.

    No one dared meet his eyes.

    Within that frail body...

    Lurked power capable of making countless Mutants tremble.


    ---

    Even now...

    No one dared challenge his authority.


    ---

    He was the Life Bearer of Huiyang City.

    Xiu.


    ---

    Standing respectfully before him...

    Was a middle-aged man.

    His own son.

    The Earth Lord, Ji.


    ---

    Life Bearer Xiu said nothing.

    He simply pushed a small tray forward.


    ---

    The moment Ji saw what rested upon it...

    His pupils contracted violently.

    His heartbeat accelerated.

    An overwhelming surge of joy nearly burst from his chest.


    ---

    He recognized it instantly.

    It was...

    The flesh and blood of the Life Bearer.


    ---

    Consume it...

    And he would evolve into the Seventh-Tier Life Bearer.

    He would inherit everything.

    Become the new ruler of Huiyang City.

    Stand among the strongest beings in the world.


    ---

    He had waited for this day...

    For countless years.


    ---

    Yet...

    The instant that excitement surfaced...

    He forcibly suppressed it.

    Not the slightest trace appeared on his face.

    Instead...

    He feigned confusion.


    ---

    "Lord Life Bearer..."

    "What is this?"


    ---

    Even though Xiu was his biological father...

    Ji never dared call him...

    "Father."
