Douluo: Humans in this world are fake gods

but……

Because of the type of projected soul bone, the consumption of soul power is exponentially higher than other weapons. Just projecting the millennium-level tardigrade soul bone almost consumed all of Su Luoheng's soul power.

Moreover, this is under the premise that he has the support of the holy soul core in his body and the body of the tardigrade soul bone. Otherwise, the projected soul bone will consume even more soul power.

However, the thousand-year-level soul bone is enough to cure the old prince's old illness.

Needless to say, the old prince was lucky enough to have not absorbed the trunk soul bone. Otherwise, even with the tardigrade soul bone, he wouldn't be able to solve his old illness.

"..."

In the end, Xu Jinyu chose to believe in Su Luoheng.

After all, there is no other way.

After sending Su Luoheng away, Xu Jinyu came to the old prince with the thousand-year-old tardigrade soul bone.

……

……

"crunch-"

Xu Jinyu lightly closed the door.

He called softly in the direction of the hospital bed.

"Father."

"Jinyu...you're here..."

Not long after, a weak voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, as Xu Jinyu walked towards the hospital bed, he saw a man who looked to be in his fifties, with all his hair gray. The wrinkles on his face are piled up like ravines.

The cloudy eyes looked a little dull and listless.

Tortured by illness, Heng Wang Xu Han, the once famous Dreadclaw Soul Mentor Legion commander who had made countless military exploits for the Sun and Moon Empire, now became old, haggard, and in a miserable state.

"..."

Xu Jinyu took a deep breath and came to the bedside.

A look of sadness flashed across his eyes.

Although he was aware of his father's physical condition, as a son of a man, how could he feel so good when he saw his once majestic father become like this after being tortured by illness?

"Cough-cough-"

At this time, Xu Han coughed twice violently.

"You...sit down first."

Xu Han leaned against the bedside and pointed at the edge of the bed with difficulty.

Xu Jinyu nodded when he heard the words and sat on the bedside as he was told.

"Jinyu, I know my physical condition."

"This time, I'm afraid my father won't be able to hold on for long..."

"This period of time has been hard on you. Ever since I fell ill, this huge Prince Heng's Mansion has been supported by one person. My father knows how difficult it is for you... to be able to do all this."

"Cough cough cough-"

As he spoke, Xu Han coughed violently again.

Every time, it was accompanied by the blood seeping out.

Xu Han gasped for breath and then calmed down.

"Father, you..."

"Listen to what my father has to say first."

"Everyone in the palace, the only one I can't worry about is you."

"My father knows that this is not your ambition. If I hadn't suddenly suffered from an old illness and your eldest brother was killed, without the constraints of Prince Heng's palace, you should have been able to live an easy and free life."

As he said that, Xu Han looked at Xu Jinyu with guilt in his eyes.

"Jinyu, there are some responsibilities that you don't need to shoulder. You have done enough over the years. Don't trap yourself here all the time. Go and be the real you."

Hearing this, Xu Jinyu shook his head and said firmly, "I swore from the day my eldest brother died that I would protect the foundation of Prince Heng's Mansion and make those behind the scenes pay the due price!"

There are some things that he can't avoid without fighting for them.

Now that he was on the chessboard, he had no choice.

"Jin Yu, you are still so stubborn..."

Xu Han sighed lightly, but did not continue to persuade.

He knew that Xu Jinyu had a stubborn character and would never change something he had decided on. So he stretched out his right hand tremblingly and patted Xu Jinyu on the shoulder with a complicated look.

Although Xu Jinyu intentionally did not tell himself any outside information, based on his experience, he could guess what a Prince Heng's Mansion, which controls the military, would face after the only person capable of intimidating him fell.

I just didn't expect that Xu Han would end up like this.

It's pitiful that I have dedicated my life to the Sun and Moon Royal Family, and now I am seriously ill. However, it was spied on by various forces, and even the safety of the juniors was difficult to protect.

It's impossible not to feel disappointed when it ends like this.

But the matter has come to this, and there is no use in regretting.

"and……"

"Your old illness may not be incurable."

"Ok?"

Xu Han looked puzzled.

Saying that, Xu Jinyu waved his hand and took out the soul bone.

"The tardigrade soul bone has powerful self-healing power, and it may not be able to cure your old diseases. But... this method is a bit risky given your current physical condition."

"..."

When the conversation changed, Xu Jinyu's tone became serious.

"Whether you absorb it or not depends on your choice."

Although Su Luoheng was sure that there was no danger in absorption, after all, it was a matter of his father's life and death, and the opinions of the parties involved should still be sought for such matters. So leave the choice to Xu Han himself.

"Tardard..."

Hearing this, Xu Han's cloudy eyes flashed with surprise.

Apparently he had also heard of the name of the tardigrade soul bone.

"Father, you——"

"Let me try."

Xu Han's tone was calm, without any hesitation.

He knew very well that with his current situation, he couldn't sustain it for much longer. So instead of lingering on, it's better to gamble with this tardigrade soul bone.

Xu Han still has this kind of courage.

"Besides, it's already like this, how can it get worse?"

With that said, he reached out and took the soul bone.

After trying his best to adjust his body to a good condition, Xu Han supported the sick body and began to absorb the soul bone. During the integration process, the most nervous person was Xu Jinyu who was waiting by the side.

Fortunately, the process went smoothly.

First of all, tardigrades themselves do not have very strong combat capabilities.

Secondly, this piece of soul bone was obtained by projection, without any impact from the remaining coercion of the soul beast.

Therefore, Xu Han basically has no threshold in the process of absorption. In less than a moment, this piece of thousand-year-old soul bone had been completely absorbed and integrated into his body.

As soon as the tardigrade soul bone merged with the body, it immediately began to heal the hidden diseases hidden everywhere in the body. Although this speed is slow, it heals the body all the time!

Xu Han, who was already terminally ill, was exuding vitality at this moment.

Xu Han, who originally had the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, was overjoyed at this moment. That dull look suddenly burst into dazzling light!

Because, he finally saw hope!

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Smiling, hot tears flowed from the corners of Xu Han's eyes. He originally thought that his life would end here, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a bright future.
