Chapter 709 The Sorcerer Goddess Shrine Key (1/2)
Lin Huang looked lost as he stood before the stone tablet. The effect of the heart-glimpsing rune felt like he had just been given an opportunity to relive his life. He had been aware in the beginning and kept reminding himself that it was a virtual world that the heart-glimpsing rune had created. However, he completely fell for it on the night he and Zhang Yan got married. He forgot about what had happened in reality and could not pull himself together as he drowned himself in the virtual world.
As his family pa.s.sed away one by one, the truth was revealing itself but was soon covered by the heart-glimpsing rune quickly. The death of Zhang Yan was actually the best time for him to break free from the heart-glimpsing rune. However, he had been in too much pain that he thought the images that flashed through his mind were just some hallucinations as a result of not resting. He realized that he was trapped in the world that the heart-glimpsing rune created when he realized that he had no recollection of his memories before the age of 25 when he was dying.
Those realistic memories were a paradox to prove that the virtual world was not real. When Lin Huang realized that, the virtual world started to crash in, revealing the true reality that Lin Huang was in.
”Was I in the dream or was the dream in me?” Lin Huang forced a grim smile. The heart-glimpsing rune was terrifying. The script that it had written for him was the kind of life that he had been dreaming of on Earth, a life without any regrets. He had fallen for it completely and almost lost himself.
”You pa.s.sed?!” The large face was shocked. ”I've always thought that no matter how powerful you are, you'd definitely fail this.”
”The heart-glimpsing rune is really scary. I fell for it without even realizing it.” Lin Huang had gooseb.u.mps as he thought about it. The soft approach from the heart-glimpsing rune was much more terrifying than powerful monsters as one would fall into the trap without even knowing.
”Do you know that n.o.body has ever broken through the ninth level of the Sorcerer G.o.ddess Tower since the tower was built? n.o.body in our epoch could do it,” the face told Lin Huang truthfully.
”The Sorcerer G.o.ddess herself wrote this heart-glimpsing rune on the ninth level, not only does it reflect a person's deepest fear, but also their greatest regrets. As soon as the rune is activated, n.o.body can get out from the trap. Well, you're the first one who has ever gotten out of it.”
”Actually, I fell into the trap too…” Lin Huang moved his lips, but he did not say that out loud. He then smiled forcefully while shaking his head and changed the topic.
”I was told that once a person pa.s.ses the test on the ninth level, the Sorcerer G.o.ddess's Shrine will be activated? And that I'll also get a reward from the Sorcerer G.o.ddess?”
”Yes, you might be able to obtain the Sorcerer G.o.ddess inheritance as well,” the face added.
”If you manage to obtain the Sorcerer G.o.ddess's inheritance, you might help us to get out of here.”
”But the world will perish from the monsters coming out of the abyss, so wouldn't it be more dangerous for you guys to leave this place?”
”You might not understand that freedom is more important than life to us. We've been trapped here for more than 30,000 years. We're always looking out at a piece of land with snow,” the huge face sighed as he said.
”Not everyone has the patience to stand the loneliness of 30,000 years. Some people decided to kill themselves, and some went crazy while others started wars…”
Lin Huang became silent and only spoke again a while later.
