Chapter 1031 (1/2)

Knowledge did not equate to wisdom, and education did not equate to savvy. Whether it was Y’zaks or Ymir, both of them were experts in the field of soul and mind; their theoretical knowledge of rebirth and memory inheritance were second to none, at least on Earth. But when it came to things that happened to Lily, they had not been able to gain an insight, which was as good as Hao Ren’s.

Lily’s memory loss had nothing to do with the reincarnation of her soul. Instead, it was purely because the First Sage had accidentally chosen the wrong body—a dog, the brain of which was too small for her reincarnation and in the process, the soul of the First Sage had been diluted.

Hao Ren could have described the formula to explain the dilution process during the reincarnation: (genius + idiot) ÷ 2 = Lily.

However, it was obvious that the person in question was not convinced of this sophistry—Lily bit Hao Ren on his arm and made a threatening growl in her throat. She would not let go even though it was setting off sparks in her mouth.

“You know the limit, don’t you?” Hao Ren said, knocking her on the head. “You can’t change the past. Besides, you have accepted the fact that you’re a husky, why can’t you accept the reincarnation?”

Lily let off her bite but still gnashed her teeth. “I accept the reincarnation but just don’t like how you say it! You ask for it!”

Hao Ren scratched his hair and said in his mind, “Who could have thought of a more euphemistic way to say that ‘the First Sage reincarnated as a dog and lost his memory’?”

“Okay, we have now probably figured out the process,” Vivian said, trying to smooth things out. But she was just as unsettled as others and could not help looking at Lily. “Doggie, have you recovered more memories of your previous life?” she asked.

Hao Ren was a little anxious. He could not help but stare at Lily’s eyes, worrying about what would happen if Lily were to regain all the memories of her previous life.

She lived life as the First Sage longer than she did as a husky. The sheer volume of her inherited memory was enough to completely change her in this life. If the memory of the First Sage was restored, would Lily still be Lily? Would she still be the canine maiden whose only concern was eating, who would flinch the moment the cat growled at her?

It was a weird feeling to think of Lily changing from a happy-go-lucky person to becoming the leader of the demon hunters who was bogged down in hatred.

Lily’s brows were knitted together. A moment later, she was frivolous again. “I have a lot of thoughts in my head but it was all fragmented. It is just like watching other’s experiences, I don’t feel like I have changed. Yeah, I don’t feel it. I don’t feel it at all.”

Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief though he was still not convinced that those additional memories had not affected her.

“It seems that the process of rebirth has changed her soul structure. As the inheritance is incomplete, she could not identify herself with those additional memories,” Ymir said, his eyes shimmering as he observed the changes in Lily’s brainwaves. “The soul fragments in the Netherrealm Clock Tower have returned to her, but it seems that nothing has changed except the recovery of some bits and pieces of memory.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Y’zaks suddenly received a message from Lanina.

“What’s wrong?” Hao Ren asked as he noticed that Y’zaks was fiddling with the magic stone, which the demon king used as a communication device.

Y’zaks smiled wryly and waved his magic comm in his hand. “It’s Lanina. The distortion in the Netherrealm Clock Tower is dissipating. Hasse has regained his consciousness.”

As Hao Ren had expected, the Godslayer was the root of all the strange phenomena in the Netherrealm Clock Tower—the weird time lapse, the demon hunters who behaved like walking dead, and the misalignment of the dimensional structure of the tower. The dark energy was the culprit. Now, as the Godslayer had been sealed, the Netherrealm Clock Tower was returning to normal.

It was expected that the captured soldiers of the Council of Elders would gradually wake up in the next few days.

Y’zaks tucked his magic stone device and clapped his hands. “There are a lot of things to deal with. Why not we join Lanina first?” he said.
