Chapter 356: Origin Regression (1)
The Primordial Staff sighed.
“I cannot recall the last time I felt shock. Sword Emperor. I can’t see you, and you wouldn’t probably speak to me either. But I’ll tell you this: there’s a good reason you failed to clear the Absolute Heavenly Peak.”
Fed up, the mage pressed a palm on her forehead. She rarely showed her true feelings, so seeing her react so strongly seemed to indicate how much of an impact the Guardian’s Mind Sword had left.
I shook my head to clear my mind. “Um, what exactly happened?”
The aftereffects of being sent back from the two-dimensional world to a three-dimensional one hadn’t ended yet. Slight nausea kept clinging to my head.
The Primordial Staff frowned at the question. “What happened, you asked? Well, something unbelievable happened. The floor almost collapsed.”
“Collapsed?”
“I mean it literally. Some floors are Constellations themselves. When a floor falls, the Constellation is also hurt, but the ghost hanging by your side... actually cut through the floor.”
The Chemist blinked. This was her first time hearing the story. “What? Mr. Gong-Ja has a ghost by his side?”
Perhaps finding it bothersome to explain, the Primordial Staff ignored the Chemist’s question. “If I had left you two on the stage, the cut your ghost made would have grown bigger in no time. The Truth Heaven Realm would have been torn like thin paper! Yes, many worlds can replace the seventy-fifth floor, but why would you condemn the souls resting in the Truth Heaven Realm?”
The Primordial Staff glared at where she believed the Guardian was. If she could slap him, she would have. “I’m not sure if you even considered that before cutting at the world.”
The Guardian crossed his arms and laughed.
