Chapter 694: Soul Split

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Xiao Lin! You’re ruthless! I’ve lost this time! However, remember, this is still not the end. I’ll be back! I’ll absolutely come back!”

Asabanor’s shouts could be heard. Even though his voice could not be transmitted after losing Xiao Lin’s energy shield, due to the mutual pull of their souls, the two of them were connected by energy, and because of that, Xiao Lin could immediately feel what the guy was doing.

Asabanor really was a crazy man. At the final moments, Asabanor had withstood a pain that a normal person would never be able to stand and split his soul into two!

As the purest form of death energy, souls could naturally be split up. However, it was something practically impossible for someone to do themselves. Just like how a live person would never be able to slowly cut their own limbs apart. There was not just physical pain, it was a mental torture that practically no one could withstand.

However, Asabanor had done it, and with how familiar he seemed with it, it was obvious that it was not the first time he thought of it. It was probably something he had planned for a long time.

“He really is a crazy man!” Xiao Lin could not help but curse as that happened. That was definitely Asabanor’s final escape plan. Xiao Lin had to admit that he underestimated that man’s ruthlessness.

Being ruthless to the self was true ruthlessness.

Xiao Lin dared to seal himself, but Asabanor was obviously not a good person either.

Asabanor used the last of his energies to split most of his soul apart. The portion that remained was the one that carried the Shards of Creation, and it seemed to have used up most of his power. That was the final, most desperate choice, but only with that could he survive. The parts that remained, due to the suction of the shard, would never be able to be brought away.

What he had left might still have all of Asabanor’s will and memories, but he was incredibly weak. He could not even maintain a human form, and only had a vague shadow that was the size of a fist. It was pitch-black, and constantly flickered like ghostfire. The shadow slightly shook, because it had left behind most of his power. Without the shards of creation, even if Xiao Lin reacted and tried to use his power to catch the shadow, it would already be too late.

The shadow sped away from Xiao Lin’s vicinity. Even in the endless river of time, even if Xiao Lin had managed to control the power of law, Xiao Lin could not spread his power too far. Furthermore, with the flow of the sands of time, the shadow seemed to shrink in a flash, and completely disappeared from sight, dispersing into the countless gold sands.

Xiao Lin could not completely get rid of Asabanor despite having made the most ruthless decision. As for where Asabanor would flow to, he could no longer find out. Based on normal logic, that soul’s power would only be able to drift around forever; it was no different from being exiled.

However, after having encountered Asabanor numerous times, there was no way for Xiao Lin to be sure. He did not know for sure if that crazy high priest had some final card to play, allowing him to escape the river of time.

However, even if he really had the ability to escape, that black shadow was way too weak. Even if was to start gathering death energy again to grow, to return to the state he was would need at least a hundred years.

As for what would happen hundreds of years later, it was no longer what Xiao Lin could care about.

However, after absorbing the portion of the soul that Asabanor had given up on, Xiao Lin did not have time to feel it when Myth reached its limits.

After the surge of power rapidly started to recede, all the fatigue and exhaustion seemed to hit Xiao Lin at the same time. The third eye on his forehead rapidly closed without the power to keep it open, and even disappeared. His black hair turned completely grey and white, and his eyes, ears, nose and mouth all started to spurt out immense amounts of blood. The blood bled into the river of time, and immediately disappeared.

It had finally ended!

Xiao Lin lightly took a last sigh. He could feel his eyes getting very tired, and his sight became very blurred. His ten fingers started to lose all feeling as well. He understood that it meant that all his senses were going away. His body was already completely destroyed.

He did not even have the power to raise his hand. Xiao Lin knew that his body was probably like a piece of glass that was full of cracks. With just one touch, the glass would completely shatter, and his soul would forever remain here, serving as the seal to block the New World from going to Earth.

That was a result he had expected. When it actually came, Xiao Lin actually felt much more at peace. His consciousness slowly blurred, and he suddenly thought of a lot. Ever since he entered the academy, he had gotten to know so many people. Song Junlang, Cheng Ming, and Gu Xiaoyue… He thought about everything that had happened.

From being a normal person, he had been given responsibilities and burdens that were hard for anyone else to imagine. Xiao Lin had sometimes felt like he had no room to breathe with the increasing pressure that was being put on him, but he did not complain, nor could he, because he had those he cared about, and someone he loved.

Yet, now all of the burdens and pressures no longer existed. At the final moment, Xiao Lin felt a relief that he had never felt before. All his experiences in Dawn Academy started to replay in front of him like a projector, up till that admission letter that he had received at the start.

If he were to do it again, would he regret it?

Did he regret receiving that admittance letter?

If that admittance letter had really been sent to him by his future self through some unknown method, then would the current him do it again?

Was the future going to hold everything he had just experienced?

With that final question, Xiao Lin’s vision thoroughly darkened, and right before his consciousness fell into complete chaos, he seemed to hear a voice from deep inside his heart.

‘It’s still not the end!

‘Your future will not stop here!’

“It’s still not the end!” In the cemetery, Gu Xiaoyue crazily rushed toward the center of the formation. Even though the wormhole seemed to already be closed, going toward the power that remained in the Reverse God Sealing Array was still incredibly dangerous for them.

Chen Dao and An Luo were standing by Gu Xiaoyue’s sides and protecting her.. Even though they did not have much strength left, they could still block those intense winds for Gu Xiaoyue, but it was still for just a moment.
