Chapter 1440: Awakened Bloodline (1/2)

He brought her through the starry sky. There were so many celestials in this vast world that he couldn’t cross them all in a short period of time despite his great speed.

Eventually, they arrived at a particular location. It was a frigid world of ice that contained an aura of death.

Outside of stars, this s.p.a.ce was empty and solitary. There might be a galaxy here, but it was without movement, giving the sense that this was a forgotten world. This s.p.a.ce was completely desolate without any signs of life.

It was made up of countless stars in the formation of a maelstrom. However, it was completely void of starry lights, only a scene of gray could be seen. One could tell at first glance that this galaxy was dead.

Because of its current state, this maelstrom slowly rotated as if it would take millions of years for a full revolution.

This was not a corrosive aura of death but an eternal silence that will remain unchanging for years to come.

Just staying for a moment in this place would drive people crazy. Its macabre nature took away breaths.

“This is the place?” Xiaoxiao asked, to her own astonishment. She thought that he would take her to a magnificent or mysterious location and not this s.p.a.ce of deathly stillness.

“Yes, this is it.” Li Qiye flatly said: “Here is where you can find your source, your bloodline’s magical properties and origin.”

“How do I go about it?” She couldn’t help but state: “This is a dead zone, everything here is dead. Life, the grand dao, universal laws, other forces… all are dead already!”

She truly had trouble breathing in this place and was about to go crazy from the oppressive aura.

“How can there be rebirth without death?” Li Qiye smiled: “Death and rebirth dualities. For a life, there is only reincarnation after death. Only this place will allow you to find your root.”

“You are saying my bloodline will be reborn through death?” The intelligent girl immediately understood what he was implying.

“That’s one way to put it.” He replied: “Go, you don’t have to be afraid or reject it. Just follow your heart and feelings. Regardless of what you see or dream, don’t be afraid since I am here. I shall guarantee your safety.”

She felt relieved since nothing offered more solace than Li Qiye’s a.s.surance. He had enough strength to be her backing. Even if the sky were to fall down, as long as he was around, she could stay safe and sound!

Finally, she took a deep breath and entered the maelstrom at the center of this galaxy.

When standing in the middle of this place, she looked around and couldn’t see what it could offer her. She shouted at Li Qiye: “What do I do now?”

He answered with a grin: “It’s very simple, just release your blood energy in a natural manner. You don’t have to let it erupt or anything. This isn’t a battle, you are only trying to find your root. Let it pour down like the quiet rain in spring.”
