Chapter 573: Mysterious Existence
Was it ti to pay up?
Xiao Lin could not help but have that thought in his head, but he did not retreat from his ditation. No matter what, he did not want to hide from anything.
In a short ti, Xiao Lin prepared himself ntally in various ways, but he did not get the answer he wanted, so he asked loudly, “Who are you?!”
The sound in the blackhole repeated in a low voice, “At this mont, I am you, but if you are asking about my prior status, then I regret to say that I don’t know.”
Xiao Lin was dumbfounded, and even angered. “You’re toying with !”
“Toying with you? No, I have no such intention. It’s not easy for to be able to talk to you like this, so I won’t waste our valuable ti. I don’t know where I ca from, and I don’t know when I woke up. I only know that I’ve been here since I opened my eyes, in the center of this piece of the universe. I can feel your existence, but I have no way to leave.”
“Hold on, this piece of the universe?” Xiao Lin noticed his phrasing. That universe should just be a symbolic world, but that ant that his consciousness had its similarities to the other person.
“A leaf and a flower could make up a world. Life is the most wonderful composition in the universe, comparable to the movent of the stars. The existence of this universe is not sothing to be surprised at.” The voice seed to see through Xiao Lin’s doubts.
“How do you know that theory?”
“I don’t know.”
“Fine, let’s change the topic. Why did you wait until now to talk to ?”
“I don’t know.”
“How long have you been in my body?”
“I don’t know.”
“Do you have any goals?”
“I don’t know.”
“What do you know?!”
“I don’t know.
Xiao Lin was speechless. He felt like he was going crazy. If it was not for the sincerity in the other person’s voice, he would have left imdiately. However, he held it back. After all, who would be able to calmly pretend nothing was happening after discovering there was a strange being that was previously unknown living in their body.
“No, I’m not within your physical composition. Strictly speaking, my position right now should be in your energy ball, and in the most internal part of it.” The voice corrected Xiao Lin’s mistake.
That strange way of speaking confused Xiao Lin, only after a while did he suspiciously translate the person’s words. “You’re saying that you’re not in my body, but my soul!” Fine, whatever an energy ball was, he could only jokingly describe it as his soul.
After a mont of silence, the other person acknowledged it, causing Xiao Lin to be shocked as he quickly asked, “Then does my power co from you?” He smiled bitterly as he asked, expecting to be told the person did not know the answer again.
However, this ti that voice slowly said, “Yes, and no.”
“Can’t you just answer sothing clearly for once?” Xiao Lin was frustrated. That answer was the sa as not knowing.
“I can feel your anger, but regretfully, I can’t hide anything from you. I know of so things, and so things I know nothing of. The source of your power is internal, but you can also treat it as your own, and no one can steal that power you worked hard to obtain.”
Xiao Lin said helplessly, “It’s really tiring talking to you. Can you not speak in circles? I can understand every word you speak, but why can I understand anything from them?”
“We are of the sa form and body, so your language directly affects . There’s no way you don’t understand my words.”
“I’m not referring to the words themselves. Whatever, forget I said that.” Xiao Lin got an even bigger headache. That thing really knew how to throw out completely foreign words. He could not determine if the person was deliberately confusing him, or if the person’s personality was like that.
Seeing Xiao Lin going quiet from anger, that voice continued without a care, “I can feel the danger around you. I’ve wanted to tell you plenty of tis, but regretfully I can’t communicate with you. I can’t only talk to you in this false environnt. Please rember my next words. The Origin of the Beginning relates to this universe. It is further away than you or anyone around you can think of. I can feel that an ancient threat is reawakening, so you don’t have much ti left.”
“Your words are aningless. What is the Origin of the Beginning? What ancient threat? Hey, can’t you just say your words clearly? You at least need to tell how you know all this!”
“It’s hard to explain. It’s like asking you why you’re a human and not any other lifeform; that question is aningless.”
Xiao Lin was angry again, but it seed to make sense when he talked about it. Why was he a human and not a beast? Was that person trying to debate philosophy?
“I’ve forgotten a lot of things, but I know my task is to protect.”
“Protect ?” Xiao Lin snorted coldly. “Are you trying to tell I’m so ancient superhero? Or maybe the savior of the world?”
“No, not you. Just as I said earlier, you’re just an ordinary life form. What I am protecting is the Power of Origin.” That voice was very honestly assaulting Xiao Lin’s ego.
Xiao Lin did not know how to react. He had been thinking too much.
“Then what do I need to do?” Xiao Lin asked.
“The shards! You must quickly collect the shards!”
Fine, Xiao Lin let out a sigh of relief. Now that person was finally saying sothing Xiao Lin could understand. Shards could only be referring to the Shards of Creation.
“Since you know what you need to know, and don’t know what you don’t, why don’t you tell how to get out of my predicant right now?” Xiao Lin had almost been pulled in, collecting the shards was already within his plans, but he suddenly felt like that mysterious person could solve his current problem.
The voice paused for a mont before he started to recall in an even voice. “A sky fish, a living being from the first era of man. It’s a morphed aquatic lifeform, and spends most of its ti in the air. When the winds exceed rank six, it will follow the winds down to feed. Its special characteristics give it the ability to fly with the wind, and it can swallow a powerful hypnotic mist. The mist is its biggest weapon for hunting. Due to being over hunted, its numbers dwindled at the end of the first era, and it went extinct during the second after a disaster.”
“Are you talking about Norse history?” Xiao Lin was shocked at the similarities of the sky fish and that fish that floated in the air, but he was curious when the person ntioned the first and second eras.
