An Lin trembled with excitement as he caught sight of that item on the catalog.
Heart of the Divine God and the Divine God’s Elixir…
These were the two items he was looking for when he first decided to come to the Shou Yang Tomb; who would have thought they would actually exist here!
If he managed to obtain them, then he could progress to Soul Formation Stage!
“Wow, it’s the Heart of the Divine God!”
Xu Xiaolan exclaimed involuntarily at this moment.
An Lin was a little alarmed. “Xiaolan, do you want the Heart of the Divine God too?”
Xu Xiaolan covered her mouth as she chuckled lightly. “Of course, the Heart of the Divine God is hugely beneficial for anyone to make progress in cultivation methods, cultivation base, and true intent. On top of that, it’s extremely useful for bolstering the power of one’s consciousness; who wouldn’t want something like this?”
“Well…” An Lin was considering how to break the news to Xu Xiaolan.
Xu Xiaolan continued, “However… I’ve heard that it’s very difficult to convince the Heart of the Divine God to accept someone as its Master… I’ll be very upset if eight thousand points just go to waste, so I don’t want to take the risk.”
An Lin’s heart settled back into his chest after hearing this.
Xu Xiaolan had also noticed An Lin’s awkward expression. “Why? Are you interested in the Heart of the Divine God too?”
An Lin nodded. “Yes, I plan to give it a shot.”
“Sigh, you can do whatever you want since you’re rich. Beggars like me are still undecided on what to exchange for.” Xu Xiaolan waved her hand and continued looking at what she was going to exchange for.
An Lin’s main objective for coming here was the Heart of the Divine God, so this was naturally his top priority. He immediately used eight thousand of his points for a chance to come into contact with the Heart of the Divine God.
A jade talisman appeared in the sky and dropped down into An Lin’s hand.
At the same time, the ground suddenly began to tremble, and a passageway appeared beside the statue of Celestial Immortal Shou Yang. There was a restrictive film of light at the entrance of the passageway.
Everyone was startled by the commotion.
“Classmate An Lin, you’re going to try to obtain the Heart of the Divine God?!” Xuanyuan Cheng exclaimed in shock.
“As expected of Big Brother An, how bold and daring!” Yao Mingxi gasped as he looked at An Lin with a scorching gaze.
“The passageway appears to bar everyone else from entering. Is it going to be dangerous in there?” Xu Xiaolan’s brows furrowed slightly in concern.
An Lin had also noticed this and on top of that, there was an even more pressing concern. He was essentially no different to a quadriplegic at the moment, who was going to carry him to the passageway?
He turned toward Xuanyuan Cheng. “Um, Big Brother Cheng…”
Xuanyuan Cheng immediately nodded with a knowing smile. “I’ve got you!”
A part of the flying rug suddenly detached from the rest of the rug and carried An Lin toward the opening of the passageway.
Splat!
The flying rug was dashed into a pancake on the restrictive film of light.
An Lin’s body continued forward with his original momentum and tumbled to the ground within the passageway.
“Ouch! F*ck!” Not only was he completely unable to move, but he was also severely injured so just falling onto the ground alone sent excruciating pain shooting through his whole body!
“Classmate An Lin, are you alright? It appears my flying rug can’t bypass the restrictive barrier!”
Xuanyuan Cheng’s panicked voice sounded from outside.
“I’m fine, don’t worry about me,” An Lin yelled back in response.
However, he was now met with another practical predicament. An Lin looked down at the set of winding steps below him, and his heart was filled with despair.
F*ck, couldn’t they place the Heart of the Divine God in a more accessible location?!
So the problem now was, how the hell was he supposed to get down there?
He was unable to use any spell techniques, and he couldn’t even stand up, so he had to rely on some sort of external force.
He looked at the steps below and suddenly thought of gravity!
Did he have to… roll down to the bottom?
An Lin grimaced at the thought. If he really did roll down in his current condition, he would probably be dead by the time he got to the bottom!
So that wasn’t feasible, external forces, external forces…
Wait! I have Gundams!
An Lin came to a sudden realization.
He could control the Gundams with his thoughts alone so he didn’t have to do anything himself!
Thus, the Gundams were released from his storage ring, and they very gently picked their Master up before walking down the steps.
An Lin was lifted up by the two Gundams, who stood at his sides, and they slowly carried him down the staircase like a rich man in a carriage.
Not long after, he came to the foot of the staircase and was greeted by the sight of a cavernous stone hall. A white jade coffin lay in the center of the hall, surrounded by a few stone pillars with mysterious symbols carved onto them.
What was especially thrilling to him was, there was a pure white ball of light hovering over the top of the coffin as well as ripples of white streaming around the coffin.
The Heart of the Divine God and the Divine God’s Elixir!
An Lin’s breathing accelerated as he stared in awe at the scene before him.
Right at this moment, the ball of white light flew toward An Lin of its own volition and began to emit a brilliant white light.
An Lin felt the white light encapsulate his whole body and his consciousness appeared in an unfamiliar space.
This was a vast world with no end in sight.
The sky was grey and the ground was black. The whole landscape was barren and desolate.
There were no signs of life, only an infinite expanse of nothingness aside from heaven and earth.
An Lin walked across the barren ground.
He didn’t know how to escape this world. His only thought was that he should continue onward in the hope that a different landscape would appear.
An eternity seemed to pass.
One year, two years… a hundred years…
He felt extremely lonely as if living was no different to death here.
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: “Do you yearn for life or companionship?”
Life? Companionship?
He made a decision almost without any hesitation!
Thus, a gorgeous baby boy appeared in front of him, bawling with all his might…
An Lin was rooted to the spot. He then picked up the baby boy with trembling hands and for some reason, he seemed to have found a psychological pillar.
The baby boy didn’t drink milk, it could survive on photosynthesis alone.
A long time passed.
The baby boy slowly grew up and learned to read and speak from An Lin, along with many other things.
“Big Brother An, you’re so strong, when can I become as strong as you?”
“You want to be as strong as me? Hehe, that’s impossible, I’m invincible, you’ll have to settle for second.”
“Why?”
“Because I created you!”
…
Another eternity passed by.
The boy grew up and gradually became stronger.
An Lin walked with him on the barren landscape, and a black sword suddenly pierced through his heart without warning as he was greeted by the sight of the boy’s twisted, yet triumphant smile.
“Hehehe… Big Brother An, I’ve thought long and hard about this. Wouldn’t I become as strong as you are if I absorb your energy and take everything away from you?”
“No, I’ll be even stronger than you…”
The boy stared intently at An Lin as his body trembled with excitement.
Another two options appeared in An Lin’s mind:
A: Kill him!
B: Forgive him.
