Chapter 260: #A Master and Disciple’s Forbidden XX (4)
Demon Lord held onto Zhu Alin’s arm. Anguish, like an endless abyss, seemed to overflow from her gaze.
“As expected of you, Master. I’d cast this illusion using God of Destroyer’s divine power, yet you broke it so easily.”
“Please, please stop this, Lin.”
Zhu Alin tilted her head slightly. “Did you get back the memories from your past life too?”
“Memories from my past life... are hazy. It’s as if there’s a fog in my mind. Still, I do know that what you’re doing right now is a sin against the heavens. Lin, think of it. This world you hold so dearly and its people—are you going to destroy them with your own hands?”
“Should I let you in on a secret?” she whispered in Demon Lord’s ear, “Nothing in this world matters to me, except for you.”
“...Lin.”
“It is only because of your existence and will that I cherished the people. And yet, you only ever saw me as a disciple and stepdaughter. In my previous life, I was satisfied with just that.”
Zhu Alin shut her eyes, reminiscing.
“But now, I don’t want things to stay the same. If the alternative is watching you suffer for billions of years as a sword, then I’ll end it all right now—even if it means giving up my own life!”
“Lin, you mustn't give up! We still have hope!”
