Chapter 2741. Very Sad Scene
A deep, lonely sadness claimed Han Sen’s brain. Although Han Sen knew that the emotion was not his own, he felt it sink deep within him.
The sadness was as broad and powerful as the Yangtze, rolling forward with the steadiness and implacability of a river. The sensation rocked Han Sen. The sadness was clear, yet it wasn’t a raw or passionate emotion. It wasn’t painful like losing your family, and it wasn’t the heartache of being betrayed by a loved one. It wasn’t the soul-rending anguish of losing everything that you cherished. It just resided in Han Sen’s chest, softly. The ache was so gentle that sometimes, Han Sen could barely even sense it. It floated like a mountain stream, but there wasn’t a single ripple to be seen.
But this kind of sadness was subtly powerful, and it was infectious. It left Han Sen unable to do anything except cry his eyes out. He couldn’t get a grip on his emotions, and he couldn’t move his eyes away from the Very High eye mark. He just stood in front of the stone wall, staring at the stone with eyes rimmed in blood.
Han Sen’s brain knew that if things continued like this, the blood in his body would run dry and he would die. But he couldn’t move his feet to tear himself away from that sad scene.
To one of the Very High who had practiced the Very High Sense to an average level, the emotions conveyed by a painting would be fairly weak. But to a Very High that had practiced the Very High Sense to a high level, it would be confusing to see how much scary sadness could be conveyed by this piece of artwork.
“Why would this elder have felt so much sadness? He was already in the true god class. He was at the top level of the pyramid of universal power. What could make him this sad? This depression is too strange. It is completely different from any of the emotions that I have endured. It makes me think of the phrase, ‘Sadness that is greater than the heart dying.’ This sadness is a little like that, but then again, it isn’t quite the same,” Han Sen thought.
“This Very High elder left all this behind before heading for the Geno Hall. Was his sadness related to the Geno Hall in some way?”
Han Sen thought about it a lot, but he couldn’t come to a conclusion. Regardless, he couldn’t rid himself of the infectious sadness. Even with Han Sen’s strong will, he couldn’t pull his eyes away from the drawing.
Exquisite and Li Keer had synced their minds to the Ancient Wall when they first arrived, so they had spent most of the trip ignoring the feelings Han Sen was sending to them.
