Chapter 32 - Hints (2/2)
”Do you have any other questions, Tatsuya?”
”…”
The White Tiger God's body slightly glittered amidst the darkness that engulfed the whole inheritance realm. A bit of his body slowly separated itself and vanished into thin-air. It seemed that the White Tiger God is running out of time.
”What is your reason for leaving an inheritance in this place?”
Hearing that unexpected question, the White Tiger God's expression slightly faltered. Someone of his level shouldn't be this shaken at all, and this allowed Tatsuya to realize that the godly being before him is hiding something.
”I… I'm planting my seeds to see whether they could help me accomplish a goal.”
Although, the White Tiger God's expression had already gone back to normal, Tatsuya could sense sadness emanating from the former's body. Tatsuya waited for the White Tiger God to answer his question, without any thread of ripples on his expression.
”You… really are different. But, I'm afraid that I can't tell you about my reason now. However, I'm confident that you'll stand before me in the future.”
Seeing that Tatsuya didn't even feel anything from the sudden fluctuation of his emotion, the White Tiger God felt quite helpless about Tatsuya's emotion. Still, it made the White Tiger God more confident about his decision of choosing Tatsuya over that person.
Tatsuya isn't the only talented one here, as the 2nd Elder from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region is already a heaven-defying talent that almost caught the White Tiger God's eyes. However, if their talent were to be compared, the 2nd Elder's talent would be a drop of water while Tatsuya's would be the ocean itself.
”Looks like I'll soon vanish…”
The White Tiger God touched the glittering light around him, feeling very amazed from the spectacular view. Although, the glittering lights are basically the part of his soul fragment, he didn't felt anything from this.
He slowly turned his back away from Tatsuya, as the latter just watched the former do whatever he wants to do. Seeing that the White Tiger God will soon vanish, Tatsuya gripped both of his fists, as he courageously went forward.
”Master, is it possible to revive someone?”
Hearing that question, the White Tiger God's eyes slowly descended into Tatsuya's figure. There was still a smile on his face, and his calm eyes were still present. However, the White Tiger God could sense a trace of emotional fluctuation from Tatsuya.
”It's not possible…”
Hearing that statement, it made Tatsuya feel downcast, as he couldn't help but grip his fists. Although, he already knew that the White Tiger God would say such thing, he still can't help but be affected by that answer.
”If there's nothing anymore, then I'll bid my farewell, Tatsuya.”
Tatsuya quickly suppressed his emotions, as he suddenly recalled the brief moment where he talked with his sister. He could feel happiness and acceptance flow into his very heart, as he felt calmness spreading throughout his awareness.
Now that he had become calm again, he slightly nodded his head towards the White Tiger God. This notion made the White Tiger God quite satisfied, as he could feel that Tatsuya is sincere of his farewell. After all, Tatsuya isn't really used into the hobbies of the cultivators.
*Swoosh*
The glittering lights around the White Tiger God suddenly intensified, as Tatsuya could sense the White Tiger God's soul fragment rapidly disappearing in existence.
*Mutter*
Suddenly, Tatsuya's eyes widened, as he saw the White Tiger God mutter something. However, he felt a very mysterious fog block his senses from comprehending the latter's words. Even though, he tried to analyze what the White Tiger God tried to convey, he couldn't do it.
Before he had even managed to try everything he could do, the White Tiger God's soul fragment had already disappeared from existence. This made Tatsuya quite confused, as he tried to think of a reason why the White Tiger God suddenly muttered something.
”Sigh, I guess in the end, reviving someone is impossible…”
Tatsuya said to himself, as he knew all too well, how impossible is it to revive someone. Even if he managed to access the Quintessence Realm, he's not confident at being able to take control over that realm. Thus, the chances to revive Miyuki are basically nonexistent.
”Miyuki already said it herself that she exists within my heart…”
Before Tatsuya had even managed to completely comprehend how to enter the Supreme Territory, the Miyuki that his heart created based on the Miyuki that once existed, told Tatsuya of her acceptance over her own death. Although, it sounded too painfully for Tatsuya to hear, it made him feel relieved.
(When the time comes, it wouldn't hurt to try…)
Tatsuya slowly said to himself, as he looked forward to the time whereas he would be able to access the Quintessential Realm. Even though, the White Tiger God had already deemed such act impossible, Tatsuya still believed in himself that despite being impossible, there's a way that could bypass the impossibility.
(As for now, I'll just go back into the room…)
He suddenly cut off his thought, as his face formed a disguise once again. His crimson blood eyes shone brightly, as he stared at the distorting space around him.
He recalled Miyuki's smiling face, as he knew that reviving her isn't really the best way to approach things. After all, people are usually obsessed over someone's revival because of their current emotion.
Although, Tatsuya isn't the person to believe in fate, he knew that if its really destined for him and Miyuki to be reunited again. It would happen even if the cosmos itself disintegrated into nothingness.
Coming back into his senses, Tatsuya's calm eyes looked at the surroundings. Then without even further ado, he immediately entered the realm of nothingness, as the very trace of his existence vanished…
