Chapter 280: Life 75, Age 56, Martial King Peak
After several moments passed without anything happening, I exerted my will to cut off the Qi Gathering Formation in my soul and force the Solid Mountain Fire back into my storage space.
This stopped the flow of earth qi into my storage space, but the nervousness radiating from my karmic energy affinity didn’t abate.
I once again considered abandoning this life and escaping to a fresh start. Part of me was even willing to leave my entire clan behind to do so. However, I knew that this wouldn’t do any good. Whatever the ultimate source of this nervousness was, it was bigger than a single timeline.
What should I do? What could I do?
I did my best to try to understand what I was feeling.
Whatever was going to happen… It was inevitable, but it wasn’t imminent. I still had time. I could still prepare.
Prepare for what? I didn’t know. Would my preparations change anything? Almost certainly not. But what else could I do? Hide away? That wouldn’t change anything.
Cautiously, I reached into my storage space and pulled out the seed of the Solid Mountain Fire. Then, after taking a deep breath, I shoved it back into my soul.
Nothing changed. The feeling of nervousness didn’t increase. The world didn’t end.
