Chapter 1631 - Fate Breaking (1) (1/2)

”Can we trust her?” Ri asked.

Hours later, Clara and Ri lay Dyon's arms, a thin sheen of fragrant sweat covering their flawless bodies. It had been a long time since any one of them had had a true break, so they took some time to enjoy themselves with the demon sage tower as they journeyed toward Soul Rending Peak.

Dyon, who had been enjoying the soft bodies of his wife until now looked toward the ceiling with a pensive expression.

”I don't know what she was like before she fell to the Evil Path, but it's almost impossible for her to step off of it now. If it was as simple as her gaining strength through unsavory methods, it might be alright. But, the Evil Path distorts even your personality to its core.”

The best way Dyon could describe it was by comparing it to how he felt when he caught a glimpse of the hidden truths of his Chaos Flames. Even a strong-willed individual like him completely lost his way, falling to despair. If it wasn't for his undead body, he would be dead right now.

The Evil Path worked on the mind in a similar way. However, it was far more sinister. In the beginning, an individual wouldn't even notice the changes in themselves. Then, one day they'd wake up and realize they'd become exactly like Jasmine.

To make matters worse, they wouldn't feel any regret or remorse. Maybe some small, deeply hidden part of themselves would. But, it would get drowned out.

For Jasmine to have cultivated to the dao realm using this method, she was too far gone. Dyon could tell that she started before she entered the celestial realm, which meant that at least several dozen thousand years had passed. This was all she had known for basically her whole life.

In truth, Dyon was already preparing a method to kill her. Due to the soul contract the two of them had signed, it was impossible for him to use the pills he concocted for her to accomplish this, which meant he could only think of another method.

”This is too dangerous.” Clara said with a frown.

Dyon sighed. ”Maybe, but I really don't have any other choice. You two probably haven't been back to Soul Rending Peak in a while, but it's in complete shambles. It was a mistake to have them migrate without my supervision. Now, fixing the issues will become a massive hassle.”

”That might not be as hard to fix as you think.” Clara said thoughtfully.

Dyon blinked.

Clara studied biological sciences when she attended Princeton. But, this was only because the death of her mother to cancer had pushed her in that direction. The Clara Dyon knew in his youth didn't like sciences at all. Though she was always curious about how the world worked, which was why array alchemy fascinated her, it wasn't her foremost passion.
