I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL] - Chapter 1863 - 24.124 Sixth Violet Star - Sacrifice
Chapter 1863: 24.124 Sixth Violet Star – Sacrifice
The current marshal had the intention to sacrifice himself just so he can save the rest of the human race. He had no hesitation nor had any intention to back down. If he had regrets then it can only be leaving first before his father and brother, and not being able to see his son grow up.
Long Tian didn’t even look back to see the face of his people, not even for the last time. However, he knows that he followed his command and lifted the bridge.
With a smile on his face, Long Tian fought and killed the undead until his last breath. Although he was about to die or his effort was useless, he was proud to die for his family and his race. Just before he was eaten alive two wrinkled hands grabbed him and threw him on the opposite side of the bridge.
“Don’t give up so easily.”
“If there is someone to sacrifice it can only be us.”
“Who?” Long Tian wanted to see who saved him but he couldn’t even lift his eyelids.
“Live, Tian’er!”
Whooshed!
After being thrown to the other side, the ones who saved him chose to kill as many undead until their last breath and chose to activate the bombs they had wrapped in their bodies.
BOOOOM!!!
The soldiers panicky caught him, Long Tian was stunned. He no longer has any strength and the only reason he didn’t suffer from the bites and scratches of those undead was because his beast had sacrificed its life to protect him, his master.
Long Tian could barely move his heavily injured body and couldn’t even open his eyes. But he had heard that loud explosion from afar and the crying sounds of the people around him.
“Who… who was it? No, who were the one who saved me!?”
Long Tian questioned. But no one answered his questions and instead the crying sounds of the huge crowd can barely be ignored by him. Their reactions had given him an extremely bad feeling. Moreover, he heard that familiar voice calling him Tian’er.
“Who… tell me who the hell is it!?” Shouted Long Tian as he tried to open his eyes.
Even with his eyes wide open, his blood dripped into his eyes but he ignored it. He can see the extreme sadness on the face of the soldier who he just grabbed.
“M-Marshal… it’s… it’s the old marshal and Patriarch Mu!”
“They… They… noticed the commotion and saw the live surveillance at the command room.”
“They immediately jumped to the other side before the bridge was lifted and…”
“They threw you towards us.”
“…A-Also… they’ve wrapped countless bombs on them. They…”
“…N-No…”
The current marshal couldn’t believe what he is hearing, that there is an annoying ringing in his head making him go crazy.
“You are lying. Fucking tell me that you are lying!!!”
Unfortunately, there is no one who told him any lies. They didn’t want to lie even if their marshal had fallen to this state. They just could treat the sacrifice of two seniors as a lie.
“N-No… No! This can’t be… cough!”
“Marshal!?”
After coughing blood from intense emotions, the current marshal fainted and everyone had to bring him to the clinic to treat him as soon as possible. As for the deaths of Long Huang and Mu Patriarch, their deaths had killed most undead from the other side of the land leaving a huge crater after the explosion.

Long Kian who had hidden the children didn’t even know what was happening in the compound as he had taken most children in the military compound under their permission of each child’s parents to be taken away to safety. They knew that if there is somewhere safe in this land, it can only be the ancient forest or the core region of the barren lands.
The latter is too far to reach and they can only beg to be let inside the ancient forest. They are now escaping through an underground tunnel heading to the route that will bring them nearer the ancient forest. This underground tunnel happens to be the only escape route in that military facility.
However, despite being underground they can barely feel the explosion that had happened outside. But for some reason Long Kian’s heart throbbed in pain.
Ugh!
“Uncle?” calls Long Juedi.
Long Teng looked at his father worriedly and asked, “Dad, are you alright?”
The children suddenly saw tears unconsciously fall from the eyes of the only adult in the group. It was too strange and scary.
Long Teng asked, “Dad, why are you crying?”
“Crying? I am?” Long Kian reached out his hand to touch his face and noticed the warm drops falling from his eyes. It seems that he was indeed crying.
He had a strong urge to turn back. However, bid by his duties first. He can only look at the place they had just walked through. Then continue walking forward with heavy steps.
Long Kian said, “Let’s go. We cannot stay here.”
“Uncle, where are Dad and Grandpa?” Long Juedi asked.
Long Kian can only lie and said, “They will pick us up after the undead are all dead. For now, let’s seek safety at the Ancient Forest first.”
“But… I heard the race that lives there hates humans? Why are we going there, Dad? Why are we using this underground tunnel instead of walking aboveground,” Long Teng asked.
Long Juedi and Long Teng haven’t seen an undead and react mildly when this monster is mentioned. Of course, survivors from the outside were traumatized by it.
“No! Not above us!”
“Monsters! There are monsters outside on the loose!”
“Those monsters ate my mom!”
“Boohoo~ I don’t want to see those monsters again!”
Long Kian comforted the children and said, “Don’t worry. There are no monsters in the forest. Your families will come pick us up when they finish what they are supposed to do.”
“Let’s go. We have to sleep on the ground if we don’t reach the other side.”

The scene of the Old Marshal and Mu Patriarch’s sacrificial deaths was what welcomed Beast God Mo Minkong and his group when they arrived at the location of the Military compound. They wanted to stop them but it was already too late. All Mo Minkong was able to keep were the souls of those two brave humans.
He carefully held on the two glowing orbs in his hand and used a shield to protect them from dispersing. He can only sigh helplessly. He should have arrived faster that way he could have saved them.
The beastmen and soldiers who arrived with him were shocked by what they had just experienced. Two righteous heroes. In exchange for buying time to save the human race, they gave up their lives for it.
The beastmen were dumbfounded but in awe while the soldiers and mercenaries saluted with tears in their eyes. They knew that their families were waiting for them on that island. If the two old heroes didn’t made that move, all that would welcome them would be a disaster that would almost bring the humans into the brink of extinction.
“Lord Beast God, what should we do now?” The people with him asked.
Beast God Mo Minkong commanded, “Don’t let the sacrifice of our two heroes be wasted. Kill all the undead within the area!”
“Yes!“
Under his lead, the rest of the undead that escaped from the explosion from before were now being hunted by them. The numbers of undeads in the area had lessened a lot. That’s why the clean up didn’t last long and they stayed cleaning up the place.
They’ve burned down all the undeads to ashes which is to avoid the spreading of undead transformation. On the other hand, from the other side, after the marshal had fainted from intense sadness, his right hand man took the lead to keep the military compound running.
So when they noticed the arrival of Beast God Mo Minkong and the others, they were shocked. They’ve observed them for a good half minute before deciding to let them in.
“Gather people with medical knowledge to check if these people have injuries on them. Also, we will now initiate contact and ask for a conversation. I will talk to them myself! Connect me to any of those people from the other side,” said the right hand man of the marshal.
“Yes!”
—
From the other side of the land, a soldier received a call and immediately answered it. After knowing that the one who was talking is the aide of the current marshal, the soldier happily passed the job of talking to their superior to Mo Minkong.
The soldiers approached Mo Minkong the beast God and said, “Sir, there is a contact from the island.”
“Give it to me,” said Mo Minkong as he borrowed the soldier’s communication device.
[Sir, I am the aide of the current marshal, Aide Shu. I would first like to ask if… if there is a possibility of the old marshal and Lord Mu being alive after the explosion.]
The Beast God, Mo Minkong responded, “Sorry. Not even a piece of bone was left behind. They had the same ending as those undead who jumped on them.”
There is only silence on the other side.
