Chapter 378: Who He Belonged To
After saying goodbye to Tank, Chang Xuefeng walked forward into the darkness, a soft smile on his face.
With every step he took, the jungle died around him, the life force of the grasses, mosses, plants, and vines pulled from the living and into him. Taking in a deep breath, he fed on the life forces.
It was something he had never done before.
The creator told him that the souls were never his; it was his job simply to ferry the life forces of the newly dead into the afterlife. He wasn’t a judge, he wasn’t a jury, and he definitely wasn’t an executioner.
No. Up to this point in time, the Angel of Death, the Grim Reaper, had never actually killed a living thing. It took a lot of effort on his part. After all, as death, it was kind of his thing. As simple as breathing, the souls of the living called to him, taunted him with everything he was denied.
There were other Deaths in the world. The human population alone was more than one man, even a god, could handle. But they kept to themselves and their territories. Never crossing lines that shouldn’t be crossed, so he had no idea how the others did things.
Were they just as passive as he was? Wrapped in chains that none of them could see or feel until they were testing their limits? The creator had given him his orders...
But now? Well, he had new marching orders.
There was no being in this realm or the next that was stronger than him. It took nothing more than a simple touch to reap someone’s life.
So why had the house kicked him out? He didn’t have a soul, a life force to give to Hattie. He thought he had given everything he had to the little Princess who called him Daddy in such a sweet voice.
Apparently, it wasn’t enough.
