Chapter 341: The Rising Star of the Unorthodox Sect (3)
“It’s because the heavens no longer watch over us.”
“Ah.”
The moment I heard the Illusory Illusion Witch’s words, something the Heavenly Demon had once told me suddenly came to mind.
– Though the heavens no longer gaze upon us, their gifts and their shackles remain.
I still did not know exactly what that meant. I could only speculate.
It was the heavens that had bestowed the fortuitous opportunity of regression. In other words, transcendent beings like immortals or Buddhas. Yet they no longer interfered in this land—that was what it seemed to imply.
That was why the Heavenly Demon and I could enjoy the absurd blessing of regression without paying any apparent price. But at the same time, the side effects brought by regression—mental restrictions and the inevitable solitude—were not removed by anyone, so we had no choice but to endure them ourselves. That was what I had thought it meant.
But perhaps he had spoken in a broader sense.
Just in case, I casually relayed to the Illusory Illusion Witch the words I had once heard from the Heavenly Demon.
