Chapter 367 - Third Life (2/2)

Wang Ling closed his eyes, and he no longer wished to argue and even try to live. He had the desire, but he knew he was no more than damaged goods now.

He devoured souls in the past and he knew what fate awaited him, but he did not fear such fate. If complete destruction of his existence was the price of saving his family, then Wang Ling would be willing to sacrifice himself. A smile emerged on his face.

While Kiel was smiling, it was then that he felt pulling him, it was the process of absorption occurring… but, it was not him who was being absorbed, but the bearer of the ethereal voice letting Wang Ling absorb him.

”What are you doing!?” Alarmed, Wang Ling asked.

”I am giving you the essence of my existence. However, you will lose everything, even the unbreakable Cosmic Energy Palace and Cosmic Pillars would disappear after your death. I want to give you back everything, but, with ”his” revival, the Universe is changing… even cultivation itself is changing I—”

”No, that doesn't matter, why are you reviving me instead of choosing to live yourself?”

Wang Ling wanted to live, but he was at a loss why the voice would willingly give its life to him.

”I am no longer needed in this Universe, because… you're already there.”

”…” Wang Ling did not know how to react to his words.

”You were called the successor of the Gray Figure, you said you were used to becoming his conduit for power, yes that is true. But, even I, the Creator of humanoids was used. To live and thrive outside of his cell, he used the Angelic Qi and Hellish Qi as a container where he would be able to exist. After that, it opened after you gained the Chaos Qi, and as I could not say anything for, I was in too deep into the darkness of the void, I could only watch in horror as he manipulated you.

”He thought I chose to retreat from this world, but, in truth, I simply failed. But that did not answer your question, did it? Well, at least not in the way you thought. I am giving you my own soul because, you and I, are now one and the same. You have already become my incarnation, and the proof of you still living in this Void without the help of the Scriptures is proof of this. Only I, and the Mother of Beasts can survive in this Void, for we belong here. You are my incarnation, you're me and I am you, and I am giving you my soul in hopes that the new me would be able to grant this Universe a new kind of hope — I do not know what has become of the Universe by now but I hope you can save it and your family. But to do it, you cannot walk my path and create your own. I was outsmarted, toyed with, and defeated, I hope that you, would be able to do what I couldn't — provide peace… if you can, find the law … add it to yours… and create your own.”

Wang Ling could feel his soul regaining his strength. The Radiant Gold, the Overwhelming Darkness, and the Chaotic Gray were swayed by a new color, it the color of a lineage no being in this whole Universe possesses.

It was a soul, beyond everything and anything, it was nothing and everything.

An Azure light overwhelmed the Void, and as Wang Ling gained his full soul, he felt warmth as if someone was embracing him. He opened his eyes and then ripped open the Void and traversed the Universe, finding a suitable host to reforge your body.

Wang Ling was about to return.

But before the Voice disappeared, it said one more thing to Wang Ling, ”I wish to return your cultivation, but I have used it to support reality. Worry not, however, for its existence is no longer needed. The world is changing, and when you see Xue again, please, ask her to return… our time has already come past — please take care of her Incarnation.”

”I will…”

Wang Ling's soul flew off, his body turning into white light, piercing the void's very darkness and for a brief moment, the Void was filled with light.

Somewhere in the vast universe, the white light pierced through the cosmos. It whizzed through space, cut through the path trodden upon by the people traveling to find power and greatness.

The white light became faster and faster, and only those with strength saw this phenomenon. They disregarded it, thinking it was nothing but a shooting star.

But they were indeed right, this light was a star.

A simple star that would become the light of hope against the darkness threatening to devour the light of life.

This was Wang Ling and after passing through the Universe, he opened his eyes in a very dark place, where the space to move around on was nothing more than a few inches. No, incorrect, the fact was that he couldn't move this body at all.

'Am I imprisoned? What has this body done?'

He thought to himself but soon, the soul of the body merged with his.

No, to be more specific, the soul's memory got devoured by Wang Ling and when he reopened his eyes, he found out a rather… unsettling news — he was already dead.

'That's not good.' Wang Ling was already dead.
