Chapter 144: Chang Chang [6] (2/2)

”But, I won't throw you out yet. Now, you are wondering why you are here?”

Someone that could read her mind? A Xue Wu? Not really. This figure was more powerful Slowly, Ethera calmed her jostled mind. Who knew maybe this entity would simply decide to chain her soul if she should slightly annoy him. After recovering herself, Chang Chang answered.

”Yes.”

”Of course, I can. Anyway, I will get to why you are here, shortly. Meanwhile, your first question should be about how you got here.”

”Astral projection?”

”Close, yet, far away. You see, young immortal, this is Astral-Dream Projection.”

”Astral-Dream projection? If it's a dream projection, don't I need to be induced with a dream since I don't sleep?”

Chang Chang asked as she recollected the memories she had of her parents inducing her with dreams for her to sleep. Could she truly be here? An entity that could transport another soul in an astral-dream projection, must be at the stellar stage at the least. Evidence of the power of this entity.

”Of course, someone like myself don't sleep unless we are induced with a dream. That's why I went to great length to induce you with one. And, don't ask me how. The reason why there is a huge difference between this and astral-projection. Dream projection has its own advantages. It can be used to transmit or communicate extremely important information since it is safe from interception unless the interceptor is exceedingly more powerful. This is the reason why astral-dream projection is much more difficult to initiate. Regarding what you are seeing, you can only be here through the Astral-Dream projection. If not, your soul would simply disintegrate.”

”Is that why I'm here? To see?”

”You are here to know. But first, for us to meet.”

”I can't even see you.”

”No, you can't and you wont. At least, not with the stage you are now. But don't worry, you might see me if the time comes, depending on you. For now, Is there a better way to meet you than your introduction to the tiniest glimpse of what was? What was of the universe, of myself and of yourself? How we all came to be? This way, you will fully understand me if the time ever comes. Are you with me, young mortal?”

”Do I have any choice?”

”Yes. You can decide not to listen which will give me a reason to lock-up your soul.”

”Huh?”

Exclaimed Chang Chang, as she swallowed hard as she thought about her summoning coming up the following day. If her soul was locked up, how would she performed her summoning?

”Hehehe. Good. Now that I have your undivided attention, there won't be any need for soul chains. Hehehe.”

The husky voice produce a deep sounded laughter before a profound silence engulfed the place.Then, it continued speaking.

”First you must know about your origin and your fate. Do you even know who you are? Do you know about your parents? I know your father is a Xue Wu, but what of your mother? What do you know about her? Do you know your mother is half blood and half fairy? Have you ever wonder why you have a core when Xue Wus don't have one? Why you could directly cultivate? Have you ever wondered why you are different from other bloods?”

There was a great silence as Chang Chang's mind went up in turmoil. She had a core? She never knew that. Her mother was half fairy? She was asking herself these questions again when the voice continued.

”A prophecy was uttered before your birth, child. Your fate is entwined with another that's also entwined with another. This soul is your past, but this is a past that will find you. It has already found you. This is a past you can't do without. This soul is part of your existence. Your soul is locked in a web, young, one. A time will come when you'll have to make a decision regarding your fate. Your life, your world, this universe, all of us, everything would rest on this decision of yours.”

Chang Chang was nearing the limit. She doubted she could even take anymore of all this. She held her head to calm her her mind.

”Are you ready to know?”

”Noooo.”
