Chapter 657 - 144: Returning to the Dreams of Antiquity (36)
The capital was set abuzz by Gui He’s return, yet the instigator of it all was silent deep within his own consciousness.
Here, it was pitch black, save for two rivers of power endlessly surging and looping.
To the left was a crimson river, and to the right, a verdant river. Originally unconnected, the two became entwined due to Gui He’s manipulation.
The crimson river extended countless tiny tributaries, piercing into the verdant river, stealing its waters to bolster itself.
And the verdant river, its waters drawn off, began to dwindle, showing signs of drying up.
Although Gui He did not know what effect the drying of the verdant river would have on himself, one thing was certain: it meant harm. With the demise of the verdant river, he would have to bear the cost of its extinction.
The two rivers represented the power of qi and blood learned from Lu Hong, and his own tortoise bloodline.
Cultivating based on one’s bloodline was a reckless act that would ruin his future.
As stated before, without any special turning point, Gui He was almost certainly doomed. Now, however, was his chance to save himself.
But within his own deep consciousness, Gui He, after several days of effort, found himself utterly helpless, unable to make any move within his mind’s depths, merely watching the two rivers continue their relentless flow.
Recently, Gui He felt his soul becoming unstable, as if it were about to float away and ascend.
This should be a sign that he was about to leave his subconscious. Time was running out, he had to do something.
