Chapter 355:
Amid the chaotic torrent of Disaster Energy, this world had already shattered into ruin.
Lin Hui and Seven Extinctions, however, remained suspended in place, unmoving. Since the Disaster Energy had already accepted them, its searing scour could do them no harm; if anything, it only nourished them.
“Good disciple...” A trace of genuine delight appeared on Seven Extinctions’ face. “Although I never taught you our sect’s supreme art, the fact that you managed to create something so similar on your own proves you were born to inherit the Dao lineage of the Nine Skies Gate.”
“You cannot escape it, nor should you try. This is your innate destiny, just as your arrival in that other world was no accident.”
“What do you mean?” Lin Hui’s expression turned solemn.
“Your body and mind were never native to that world to begin with. We’re the same, you and I—outsiders both. Do I need to make it any clearer?” Seven Extinctions smiled.
Lin Hui said nothing. The secret buried deep in his heart had been laid bare with ease. Truthfully, if Seven Extinctions had not brought it up, he would have almost forgotten that he possessed awakened memories of a past life.
“Very well. For your sake, my disciple, I will leave that world untouched. I’ll leave it as nourishment for you to mend your mind in the future. Now that I’ve broken free, I plan to return and visit our sect’s old grounds. Rebuilding the Nine Skies is the only lifelong wish I have left.” Seven Extinctions sighed. After slaughtering countless living beings, his sanity had clearly recovered by a great deal. The madness clinging to him had receded, replaced by a trace of humanity.
“Thank you, Master.” Only then did the taut string in Lin Hui’s heart begin to loosen.
