Chapter 634: Child Of Fate
Ten minutes earlier, the unconscious Tan Qingying’s fingers twitched slightly in the Corpse Emperor’s Lair. Only a faint glimmer of clarity remained at the center of her brow. Her entire body was as dark as ink, as though it had been sculpted from black stone. Her aura was weak. but stable.
On the other hand, Tan Zhenwei was bored out of his mind. He had been here for days, but he remembered his ‘son’s’ instructions before leaving, so he stayed behind, watching over Tan Qingying, this so-called ‘daughter-in-law,’ with begrudging patience.
With nothing else to do, his mind often wandered into strange and absurd places. Several times, blurry images flickered in his head, like a broken television screen flashing chaotic signals. Yet, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall what those images meant.
Crunch. Crunch.
Tan Zhenwei casually gnawed at the surrounding space itself like eating an apple.
Suddenly, he looked up. His gaze seemed to pierce through the restrictions of the Corpse Emperor’s Abyssal Tower as he beheld the distant battlefield. He felt an abnormal fluctuation in spatial energy when the Dimensional Gates were activated.
His eyes lit up instantly. Since he had merged with the talents of a Cave Beast, Tan Zhenwei’s eyes bypassed all material obstructions and locked onto exactly what he wanted to see.
Beast horde. The city’s defenders. Battle. The brutal clash between humans and star beasts unfolded before him. The scene was so familiar. It felt as though he had experienced it before. At that moment, a strange, itching sensation spread through his mind—like something was growing.
Huh? Am I... growing a brain?
Tan Zhenwei stood up straight. A powerful, irrepressible urge surged within him—an instinct to help those humans fighting for their lives.
It wasn’t just because they looked like him. But because... He felt like this was what he was meant to do. He took a step forward, allowing space and matter to blur around him. He arrived above the battlefield with just a single step.
