Chapter 1259: Outside the Heart
“Yeah.”
The dorm keeper didn’t immediately go into it. Gao Yang’s gaze landed on the wavering candlelight, his eyes losing focus as he quickly digested the information.
He breathed softly. “I was wondering why Overlord was so strong. Of course, it should be the strongest as the top-ranking Talent, but it’s in a league of its own compared to other Talents. And even you couldn’t inspect it. But it turned out you stayed silent on purpose.”
“Yes, Dragon’s Overlord had inherited my energy.” She held her fist to her chin like she was acting cute on purpose. “To tell you the truth, I’m super strong.”
“I’ve seen that.”
She gave Gao Yang an approving look. “You’re not bad yourself. You inherited my fate.”
Gao Yang looked at her.
She knew what he was thinking. “A fate does not have a concrete existence. This is an image you gave me. I quite like it.”
She paused before adding, “Energy doesn’t come with a concrete existence, either. It doesn’t even have a personality or a will. It’s simply an inheritance. Use some of it, and it’ll never regenerate. Dragon treasured the inheritance and never wasted any of it, or he wouldn’t have gotten this far.”
Gao Yang made a thoughtful sound. “So did Dragon open the Gates of Closure, or your energy did?”
“I helped, but Dragon was the decisive factor. He chose to become the Gates.” The dorm keeper’s smile faded. Her soft eyes grew serious. “Remember, Gao Yang, nothing precious in the world exists outside of the heart.”
