Chapter 1303 - 1302: The Black Tiger in the Darkness
Time passed quietly like a flowing river; it had been seven years since the divine ship set sail from Canghai City. Throughout these seven years, Gael Berger never once left his home, not even when Sloane Berger and Emersyn Berger came to visit him. He did not step out of his room.
In the third year, Yusuf Zuck had already taken possession of everything Gael Berger had, including his soul and body; Gael Berger was completely controlled and parasitized by him.
In fact, Gael Berger was still Gael Berger, but his soul had become that of Yusuf Zuck’s, and Gael Berger’s soul was not dead, just temporarily in slumber.
One deep night, Yusuf Zuck walked out of his room. He had been cultivating, but earlier that day and in the evening, those two young ladies, Sloane Berger and Emersyn Berger, had come wanting to have a secret joy with him, which woke him up, and therefore, he did not continue his cultivation.
Now it was deep into the night. Presumably, both Emersyn Berger and Sloane Berger were either sleeping or cultivating, so he decided to step out.
On the third floor of the divine ship, there was a deck with several rows of chairs, usually for guests to get some fresh air or chat and stargaze.
When Yusuf Zuck got to the deck on the third floor, he suddenly saw an old man with white hair sitting in one of the chairs, his back towards him, seemingly entranced by the stars.
From the figure of this old man, Yusuf Zuck did not discern anything special; he did not notice a particularly strong aura on him. On the contrary, he appeared very calm.
He didn’t disturb the white-haired old man but walked to a corner on the other side and stood on the deck, looking into the pitch-black night sky.
In truth, there was nothing in the night sky—no stars, no moon. This place was the Dark Void; where were there stars to see?
But Yusuf Zuck seemed in a good mood this evening. He watched the dark void, lightly tapping his fingers on the handrail, singing softly a song called "Lighting Up the Stars." This song had been popular in his youth, and he hadn’t forgotten the lyrics. As he grew older, with more experiences, memories of his youth—moments and scenes—seemed to become increasingly clear.
