Chapter 19: Awakening, the Last Gift (Ask for Collection)

The first sublimation was completed, not only the Elemental Gate had been upgraded, but Li Mingyao's physical fitness and soul tenacity had also been greatly improved.

"Not bad, not bad."

Liluo felt the two void marks on Li Mingyao's arms, and said two in a row.

With each additional Void Mark, he was able to summon more energy from the Void.

"Boy, you also know that every mage has the potential to awaken a new elemental gate during the first two realm breakthroughs, but even those geniuses don't necessarily have such an opportunity, so there are two options here."

Li Mingyao secretly glanced at the blue giant eagle standing on the antlers of the Aoki giant deer, and had a faint guess in his heart.

"The first, rely on your own ability to comprehend the doors of other elements, if you are lucky, you will awaken new elements, and if you are unlucky, you will miss this opportunity, and the second, this wind spirit will give you the origin of the wind element, so that you can directly obtain the second elemental gate, but the price is that you will not be able to awaken other elemental gates when you break through in the future."

Lilu looked at Li Mingyao, waiting for him to make his choice.

In fact, in Lilu's opinion, this multiple-choice question is very simple, take two slim chances in exchange for an elemental gate that must be reached, and there is also the blessing of the power of the source, no matter how you think about it, the first option is more cost-effective.

But he underestimated Lee's determination.

"I'm sorry, Senpai."

Li Mingyao looked at the blue giant eagle despite the surprised eyes of the three present, because the other party was not a human, Li Mingyao didn't know what to call it, so after thinking about it, he directly decided to call the other party 'senior'.

"Boy, you can think about it, don't bet on your future, and once you decide to awaken on your own, you will have to resist the impact of the two void energies in the future!"

Liluo's face was a little ugly, but the other two didn't care, as long as Li Mingyao's soul had a spirit clan's origin power.

"I've figured it out." Li Mingyao looked at Liluo, his gaze was extremely determined.

Actually, he didn't say anything.

If he really chose the power of the origin given by the wind spirit, this made Li Mingyao feel like a doll being fiddled with by his father, he had this feeling from the beginning when he seemed to be an old acquaintance with his father, as if everything was arranged by his father, even if the future is unknown, but he can see the end at a glance.

Such a life is too boring.

If Lilu knew that Li Mingyao gave up this kind of God-given opportunity in the eyes of others just because of such an idea, it is estimated that he would be so angry that he vomited blood and died.

"Well, since you've already decided, I can't say anything more." Lilu sighed, just because the young man was arrogant, and his heart was higher than the sky.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect the implementation of the plan.

"Then you can feel it directly here, there is enough magic here, and it should be able to help you." Aoki Julu looked at Li Mingyao with a little more approval, but more worried about the teenager's uncontrollable factors.

"Wind, I'm bothering you to run in vain."

"I don't care, it's just boy, don't regret it in the future." The blue giant eagle looked at Li Mingyao, and his tone was somewhat filled with a little emotion that Li Mingyao had given up.

The breeze dissipated, and the figure of the blue giant eagle dissipated, turning into a pure wind element, and disappeared in front of Li Mingyao.

"Well... Maybe I'll regret it right away. ”

Li Mingyao smiled bitterly, to be honest, he was not absolutely sure whether his awakening could succeed this time, but he was in rebellion against the path planned by his father, and he made the same choice as all rebellious children.

Sitting cross-legged again, Li Mingyao slowed down his breathing, and his divine consciousness sank into the spiritual world again.

The spiritual world in everyone's heart is different, and because each person's personality and experience are different, the expression of the spiritual world is more like my own view of the world.

Some people have nothing to do and no goal, so the depths of his spiritual world are a wilderness, and some people are gentle and kind to others, so the depths of his spiritual world are more likely to be a sea that contains all things.

And in the depths of Lee Myung-yew's spiritual world, there is a quiet café.

The café is not luxurious, the rustic décor gives people more of a homely feeling, there is a counter on the left hand side of the entrance, a few wooden tables and chairs on the right hand side, and several separate semi-open rooms separated by wooden fences, potted plants and steps down in pairs.

The rest of the café was blurry in front of Li Mingyao, and he randomly picked a place to sit down, looking out the window, it was still gray.

As if in the clouds.

This café Lee Myung-yew had only seen in a photo album that his mother never left in his hand, and he didn't know why his spiritual world was here.

Li Mingyao sighed, put his hand on the table, and a steaming cup of black coffee appeared automatically.

He hadn't been here in a long time since he had been separated from his family.

This is not the first time Lee has been here, but the experience of the first time has not been good.

He remembered very well that when the Elemental Gate, which represented the element of thunder and lightning, appeared in front of him, the black Elemental Gate suddenly appeared out of thin air, shattering and replacing his Elemental Gate.

Li Mingyao looked at his hand, and the calloused hand seemed to be another man's hand.

He took the mirror on the table next to him, but the mirror only reflected a blurred face.

"How do I find it..."

Li Mingyao looked at the small café, a little confused.

Woo————

A low voice sounded, I can't tell what it was, it was like the murmur of some creature, and the mere hearing of it made people feel sad.

It's like something is leaving.

Li Mingyao followed the sound and looked out the window, only to see the clouds and mist rolling outside the window, as if something was rapidly approaching.

He vaguely saw a familiar and unfamiliar face, and this kind of face Li Mingyao will never forget.

Because she has wiped away tears for herself countless times, protected her weak self behind her countless times, hummed a lullaby softly for herself countless times before she fell asleep, countless times... Countless times he looked at himself with kindness as he did now.

The clouds surged, as if they had stretched out their own hands.

Li Mingyao opened his mouth, and his hand holding the window trembled, but no matter what, he still couldn't feel the warm palm fall on his head again.

Smack-

Something fell from the cabinet behind him, and all the illusions he had just had dissipated, and the window was once again hazy.

Lee took a deep breath and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He walked over to the place where the object had fallen and picked it up.

It's a photo album, an album of all the photos of their family.

As if remembering something interesting, Li Mingyao opened the photo album and looked at it page by page.

But there was no time for him to reminisce here.

A flame suddenly appeared on top of the album, followed by more flames, converging, rising, jumping, burning, and soon engulfing the entire album.

The album fell to the ground again, and Li Mingyao suddenly understood.

He looked out the window with a shudder, his eyes widening little by little, red bloodshot all over his eyes, hideous and weak.

"No !!"

A fire burned behind him, a door and flames, the last gift his mother had left him.

The flame was warm, but Lee Myung-yew would rather not have it.

He just wants his family to live.

Why did things turn out like this?

... ...

A circle of flames wrapped around Li Mingyao's body, and Liluo's mouth grew in surprise.

This kid succeeded, this kid really succeeded?!

Li Mingyao opened his eyes, the firelight jumped in his eyes, and a tear sliding down the corner of his eye formed a wonderful contrast with it.

"Boy, the awakening is successful, you should be happy."

Liluo said excitedly, the fire element is not weaker than the existence of the thunder element, this kid has definitely earned it.

"Hmm." Li Mingyao hooked the corners of his mouth, but the smile was so weak.

He caressed the flames that wrapped around him, feeling his mother's tenderness for the last time.

"It's a joy to be frightening."
