Lu Zhiyuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Five hundred years later, he returned to the land of heartbreak. His holand had long since fractured into scorched earth. The once-rebuilt temple lay in ruins, its priests weakened without offerings, slowly dissipating. The priest asked the oracle, ‘Where has his beloved gone?’ The oracle revealed the fate of his beloved. Desperate to find her, the priest hurriedly searched but found his beloved had violated the law and was burned alive on a stake. The priest was shocked and enraged, realizing that it was all the curse of the oracle. The weakening of the oracle’s power was due to the priest breaking the barrier, causing the people to flee and cease their offerings. So, the oracle harbored intense hatred for the priest who had destroyed everything, and before his power dissipated completely, he cursed the priest once more.”
Gu Ci rembered the story the fortune teller had told, and it was eerily identical!
Lu Zhiyuan looked at Gu Ci and whispered, “The priest was punished, half of his soul reincarnated, destined to be connected to his beloved, yet they could only experience parting and tragedy. To prevent this, the priest found another way, splitting his soul in two, living simultaneously within his own body, gradually rging and accepting the reality, yet keeping them separate!”
Gu Ci’s face turned pale as she leaned against the sofa, her eyes glistening with tears. “So, there was never a split personality?”
“Yes!” Lu Zhiyuan replied, “Cici, I couldn’t let go. I had to try. But what’s the result? I die, and you go mad. It’s an endless cycle.”
