Chapter 378: Eighty-Sixth Floor, Shrine of the Forgotten Gods (4)
The divine energy coursing into me was overwhelming, far beyond anything I had ever experienced.
To be honest, I was taken aback. I continuously earned divine energy through those I had saved, but never had it arrived in such abundance.
In truth, knowing that there were eyes on me, I had a general sense of its origin.
The Community of the Dead and the people of Earth.
I had only learned this recently. Although I hadn’t known that the fallen climbers were still watching, the fact that the people of Earth were able to witness me stood out to me even more. Ha Hee-Jeong had mentioned she had found out during her previous life, when she obtained a portal skill and returned to Earth.
At present, I was the only one who possessed such a skill, likely due to the butterfly effect she had caused.
Regardless, she hadn’t told me for a while for a simple reason. She feared that knowing I was being watched would make me hesitant, self-conscious even.
Eventually, the right moment to bring it up never came.
It is understandable.
If I had known from the beginning, I would never have become the person I am now. My choices would have been completely different.
It was one thing to imagine strangers watching, but if I had known that my family or old friends could be witnessing everything I did, I would have hesitated with every kill.
Although I hadn’t done anything deserving of reproach, I had still flinched when I heard about it.
