Chapter 412: Frog in the Well (2/2)

Hui Yue had left him, unaware of the dreams he had sparked in Xue Wei's mind.

Xue Wei spent a few days in secluded cultivation. When he was not deep in meditation, he was thinking about the worlds beyond their own; he was thinking about the endless worlds.

But he also realized that he could not just rush to the God level and then leave the world. He had too many things that had to be completed before he could go.

He had to solve the problems with the Chang'an Continent. He had to solve the war, and find Xiao Lei. He also needed to know his own origin; he had to find out if it was only the Vermilion Bird Clan he could merge with, or whether or not he could also merge with the White Tiger and Black Turtle bloodlines.

He also had to help Bai Tianyi solve his blood feud against the eight noble families.

Although they had gotten some interest in the Ascended's Realm, that was far from enough to soothe his anger. He needed to eradicate the ancestors of these families, who had banded together to deal with him.

Lin Xiao had no blood feud; he just wanted to run away from the other Diviners. Hei Gou had long since left everything behind him. Although he was not happy with his family having sacrificed him, he had no wish to get revenge on them. They were the ones who gave him life after all.

Luoluo had also let down her hatred after being freed from the soul reaping formation within the Garden of Shadows. Although it was something she would forever remember, she saw it as a necessary thing to be able to meet the ones who truly mattered to her. Xue Wei, Lin Xiao, Bai Tianyi, and Hei Gou had turned into her family members now.

And finally, there was Wang Xiaoyun. Xue Wei was aware that she had changed in their time within the Ascended's Realm. She no longer blamed every beast for the destruction of her family, with the exception of Chu Huiyin, the Ice Harpy. She would have to die before she could let go of her hatred.

Although Xue Wei wanted to travel, and leave this world, he wanted to do so together with his friends and family. He was not going to leave them behind. Hence he also understood that he had to solve all the hatred first. He had to ensure that no one would encounter a heart demon due to leaving unfinished matters in this world.

Sighing, Xue Wei left his room only to find that all the others were waiting for him in the living room. Their eyes displayed some worry as they looked at him, but soon this worry was changed to shock.

”You released the seals?” Bai Tianyi asked, since this was the only reason he could find for Xue Wei's sudden boost in strength, but Xue Wei shook his head.

”I will tell you about it in a moment, but why are you all gathered here?”

”The war has intensified.” Hei Gou answered, looking somewhat worried.
