Chapter 726

Theresa looked at Otto blankly, and the latter said softly:

"Do you feel anything, Theresa?"

"Feel... it seems like nothing..."

Theresa shook her head, and Himeko also checked patiently. Apart from finding that Theresa's soul was more dazzling, there was no harm.

Now, Otto was even more relieved.

It seems that he had been raising a part of Kallen's soul as his granddaughter for many years?

Quite magical.

A blurry body slowly condensed in the ball of light.

Under the ball of light, the face could not be seen clearly.

But for Otto, that was someone he couldn't be more familiar with.

Not yet met, but the holy light reaching the depths of the soul seemed to be the same as before, not changing at all.

Unknowingly, Otto's eyes became teary, and his gaze trembled.

"Kallen..."

This was the first time Otto showed his emotions in front of outsiders.

It made Durandal and the others somewhat surprised, and they also understood how obsessed Otto was with Kallen.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yan tapped lightly again, and the specks of light wandering in the air merged into the body in the ball of light.

The pulse of life made Otto's heart, which had been dead for many years, boil again.

Gradually, the ball of light began to dissipate. From bottom to top, the saintess dressed in a purple nun's habit appeared in front of everyone with her eyes closed.

"Kallen!"

Otto couldn't help himself and clenched his fists tightly, not letting himself do anything impolite.

That brow, posture, and bearing...

Even a single strand of hair was a symbol of Kallen.

Five hundred years had passed, and Kallen's appearance had not been forgotten by Otto; instead, it had become clearer.

He had forgotten many things, but only Kallen—even a single strand of hair—was remembered clearly.

Feeling the joy belonging to his own soul, the cheering of every cell in his body.

This was a situation that only appeared when he was by Kallen's side and infected by the saintess's pure soul.

Five hundred years...

He finally felt it again.

For a mortal, five hundred years is too hard to endure.

But Otto knew that everything was worth it...

He walked staggeringly towards Kallen. The saintess floating in the air with her eyes closed was the entire meaning of his life.

And now, he was also about to touch the ultimate of his life and dreams.

Raising his hand tremblingly, Otto's eyes were filled with hot tears.

This scene made Ningguang and the others emotional.

Although they didn't know what kind of person Otto was, but...

Now it seems he is truly infatuated enough.

The saintess right in front of him, clearly he could touch her with a wave of his hand, but suddenly, in Otto's feeling, she seemed so far away.

He stopped and stared blankly at his own hands.

Jiang Yan had no means to stop Otto from approaching, but he just couldn't move forward.

This was the resistance of his heart.

He looked at his own hands, those hands full of dirty blood and darkness, his own soul stained with endless betrayal and tragedy.

How could he touch that holy saintess who was not stained by a speck of dust?

He didn't allow a sorrowful sinner like himself to stain the saintess in the slightest.

He didn't even dare to let Kallen see him as he was now.

Otto clearly understood how disappointed Kallen would be in him as he was now.

At this moment, Otto was terrified, which made Theresa feel somewhat heartbroken.

He had failed the great inventor Kallen called out to. He should have been guided by Kallen towards goodness and beauty.

But instead, he was full of sins for her sake.

This was a betrayal of the saintess.

In Otto's heart, he as he was now was just a dirty thing approaching Kallen.

Before reversing all the tragedies he had caused, he would not allow himself to get even a fraction closer to Kallen.

"Grandpa..."

Theresa looked at the stiff Otto and called out in a low voice.

Otto came back to his senses, looked away, didn't dare to look at Kallen, and lowered his head to look at the ground.

The five-hundred-year-old Archbishop of Destiny was, for the first time, somewhat awkward.

"Theresa... do Grandpa a favor..."

After a long silence, Otto called out in a low, hoarse voice.

"Help Grandpa take Kallen away and take good care of her..."

"Absolutely... absolutely don't let her see me as I am now..."

"This is Grandpa's only request. I'm counting on you... Theresa..."

Theresa sighed, nodded, stepped forward to lift Kallen, and had Himeko and the others separate the distance between Otto and Kallen.

Welt quietly watched Otto and really wanted to mock him, but...

Now, perhaps it was not the time.

For the time being, this was an opportunity for a sinner to face his own light and start self-reflection.

Regarding infatuation, Welt couldn't make any mocking remarks about Otto.

Otto took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to take another look at Kallen, looked up at Jiang Yan, and bowed deeply.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, Sect Leader..."

Kallen's status in Otto's heart was very special.

He firmly wanted to resurrect Kallen and was even willing to pay everything for it.

But Otto, who had the courage to rush into the Imaginary Tree as a mortal, didn't have the courage to take a look at the resurrected Kallen.

He deeply understood that Kallen hated what Otto had done.

If so many people had to be sacrificed for her resurrection, Kallen would definitely not be grateful to Otto, and would even be very disappointed.

For Otto, Kallen's disappointment was the look he was most afraid of seeing in his life.

But now the boat was already built; Kallen was resurrected too quickly, not giving Otto any process of preparation.

Regarding Kallen, who was about to recover, Otto didn't know how he should face her at all.

In the past, when Otto resurrected Kallen, his thought was just that Kallen would be resurrected and he would die.

So even if Kallen was disappointed in him, he wouldn't feel anything.

This could also be considered a kind of escape.

Later, after learning about cultivation, Otto changed his mind. It seemed that he wouldn't necessarily die after resurrecting Kallen.

So, Otto also had to start planning again.

He hoped that before Kallen was resurrected, he could clean up all his dirty deeds.

Do some things that Kallen could look at.

At the very least, even if Kallen was disappointed then, she wouldn't completely abandon him.

So, Otto wanted to self-study the Art of Resurrection to control the time of Kallen's resurrection.

As long as he mastered this technique, Kallen was destined to be resurrected, so it didn't matter if it was a moment earlier or later.

He had waited five hundred years, so Otto could still wait.

But he never expected...
