Chapter 390: Control
After destroying the figurine of the past, Gao Ming not only found his true self but also stole the past’s partial faith.
Actually, on the bus to the past, Gao Ming’s soul perfectly aligned with the rules of the God of the Past. It was why the God of the Past didn’t want Gao Ming to die so easily. It wanted to convert Gao Ming into its own loyal disciple. Unfortunately, Gao Ming’s consciousness had reached a phase where fate couldn’t shake him anymore. It tried to split Gao Ming’s consciousness, but even when Gao Ming was separated into many personas, the God of the Past still failed to do anything to him. It was quite a helpless God.
Walking on the bloody path, Gao Ming studied every footprint. They were left behind by different versions of him. In the end, they burned their souls to light the final stretch for Gao Ming. Everything that happened was a real depiction of Gao Ming’s many deaths. Tiny sparks lit up the night sky.
“They are me, and I am them.”
The monsters that hid in the dark did not dare to approach. Gao Ming easily returned to Everlasting Apartment. He paid heavily for each step when he tried to leave, but it only took a minute when he walked the same way back.
“I’m surprised you’re still alive.” Gao Ming looked at the heavily-wounded Xia Yang and He Jing, who was playing dead. While the other Gao Mings used another method to reunite with the normal Gao Ming, the painter Gao Ming was still struggling. As the figurine was shattered, the power of the God of the Past on Gao Ming slowly disappeared. The painter Gao Ming’s face slowly morphed. He ultimately was not Gao Ming.
“Teacher Xia, I know what your goal is. Therefore, I let you out at the last moment before I was oppressed by God.” Gao Ming knelt beside Xia Yang in the school uniform. “I gave you a chance. If you were willing to burn your soul earlier, you might really be able to take over and become the new me.”
Xia Yang looked pitiful. His lips moved, and he cursed elegantly.
“My torture room is inside the heart of the flesh. I hope the God of the Future is sane. If it releases Situ An, it’ll be bad for all of us.” Gao Ming carried Xia Yang and looked up at Everlasting Life Apartments. After the figurine was destroyed, half of the restrictions the two Gods had on the outsiders were gone.
