Chapter 402: Chapter 382: The 6th Seal
The Sixth Seal was undone.
More memories surged in, even more than those received earlier, leaving one somewhat bewildered and at a loss.
Karl suddenly felt that he had a very, very long dream.
And that dream was so prolonged that it gave him the illusion of having lived again.
In the dream, Karl’s name was Shen Ling, and he lived in an ordinary city, merely an ordinary person, inheriting the family-owned coffee shop and becoming its owner.
That life was also very simple, he had an ordinary lover, ordinary children, from childhood to youth to old age, and finally departed this world simply on a sickbed.
Only, the most terrifying thing was that such a life seemed to have been lived more than once.
It felt like hundreds, thousands, or even countless times… each life almost the same, and even if there were differences, there were no major changes on the whole.
Ordinary, happy, simple lives, a dream.
The dream kept recurring, like “reincarnation,” and perhaps it was some kind of terrible “prison”.
“Eh?”
“So ‘reincarnation’ can no longer trap you?”
He suddenly appeared in the coffee shop and heard a young man’s voice, abruptly looking up.
“…”
Karl breathed deeply, trying to gaze at the man in the shadows, finding him holding a cup of coffee, with a face that seemed to be his own!
“This is troublesome, can’t you just sleep for countless more years?” the man said and then set down the coffee cup.
“I will make you fall asleep again.”
The moment the coffee cup was set down, everything changed dramatically.
In a daze, Karl seemed again to see a planet rapidly expanding, and in an instant, it started to destruct, collapsing and exploding massively, and then he saw countless billions of galaxies, one after another, collapsing, perishing.
Soon his vision expanded further, and he saw the boundless river of time, countless bubbles representing universes floating within it.
And everything was rushing towards him, gradually moving toward the ultimate disillusionment, becoming completely void.
Meeting the end.
In a daze, Karl suddenly faced a question of self-identity.
Am I really the transmigrator Shen Ling?
Or am I, in fact…
Karl felt his thoughts gradually blurring, “self” as if about to disappear, as if recalling the most crucial thing would lead to terrifying consequences!
Suddenly, he heard an insignificant voice.
“Oh great Lord of the Lost! Awake!”
“The Fischer family always remembers our covenant with you, we beg for your return!”
Fischer…
Such a familiar name…
That insignificant voice pulled “self” back.
As if it were an anchor.
He pondered silently for a long time, in countless dreams, he had never heard the name Fischer, but why did it feel so familiar?
Karl vaguely felt, that Fischer was very important to him, and more and more memories of just a few decades flooded back.
“I have remembered Fischer now.”
Perhaps it’s not that important.
Because even without Fischer’s help, after thousands of years, it was very likely that others would make contact with him again, since time is an infinite river, and in theory, an immortal soul would eventually break free.
But, Karl did not want Fischer to perish.
“Once, I made a promise to grant the Fischer family great power, as grace for their aid in my complete revival.”
“This covenant… needs to be fulfilled by me.”
“Otherwise, ‘my’ very essence will cease to exist…”

Lilian raised her head, trembling all over.
“You have finally awakened!”
