LOGINSam widened his eyes, his voice tinged with fear as he clenched his fists unconsciously. "How long? Boss, you and God of Wealth had been unconscious for three nights! "I was pacing the whole time, worried sick, but I didn't dare move either of you. I haven't left this room once in the past three days. I stayed right here watching over you, just in case anything happened."Aria blinked in shock. Time had passed slowly in the Netherrealm, yet three days had gone by in the mortal realm.She noticed Sam's bloodshot eyes and the exhaustion he couldn't hide. Even his usually bright face looked worn. It was clear that over the past three days, he hadn't relaxed for a single moment while guarding both her and Landon.Sam seemed to have read her thoughts. He waved his hand dismissively, a smile returning to his face as his tone lightened. "Boss, don't worry. I'm fine. Just a little sleepy. Once you've recovered, I'll get some rest."For the past three days, the Special Missions Unit has b
Inside the Reincarnation Hall, the unholy energy seeped into Aria's dim spirit form and threaded its way toward her soul. Moments ago, she had finally felt the warmth of finding her six fellow apprentices. Yet, her hope was crushed by the fact that Thayne had not entered reincarnation. She leaned against Landon, her spirit trembling faintly. The faint glow flickered around her like a dying candle in the wind, ready to be swallowed at any moment by the dense gloom of the underworld.A thread of golden light slipped from Landon's palm and gently wrapped around her spirit, shielding it from the biting cold. The concern in his dark eyes was almost overflowing, but he said nothing. He simply stayed by her side, careful not to interrupt her thoughts.There were things he knew, things he understood, but he could not speak of them. Everything had to be uncovered by Aria herself, step by step. Meanwhile, Vexon stood nearby with his head lowered. When he saw Aria's dispirited form, he fu
The light band wasn't dazzling, but it carried a gentle warmth. It was completely different from the sinister energy around it.Aria's breath hitched. Even the trembling of her spirit stilled as she stared fixedly at the words slowly forming within the light band. She read them one by one, afraid it might be just a trick of the eye.At the center of the light band, a refined and handsome man appeared. He had gentle features, was dressed in a pure white robe, and had a sword hanging at his waist. Surrounded by the cool and ethereal energy unique to Mount Hollowlight, he was none other than her eldest apprentice—Fergus.Beneath the light band, a line of small golden text appeared. Every word struck a chord in Aria's heart. Fergus was the eldest apprentice of the Hollowlight Sect. He had a pure heart and profound spiritual energy. He spent his life slaying demons and protecting the people. A hundred years ago, he exhausted himself defending his sect and perished.In recognition of h
The scene inside the hall was far more overwhelming than Aria had imagined. The entire Reincarnation Hall had no beams or pillars to support it. Its dome soared dozens of feet high. It resembled an inverted starry sky, with countless threads of golden light spilling downward, shimmering like stars.A massive platform carved from centuries-old marble stood in the middle of the hall. Its smooth and milky-white surface was etched with endless tracks of reincarnation. Each line represented the past and present lives of a mortal. Every detail was perfectly outlined—from birth to death, from good to evil. This was the Reincarnation Record.It wasn't a book but the marble platform itself, formed from the laws of heaven and earth. The tracks upon it recorded every cycle of reincarnation.Countless golden bands of light floated above the marble platform, displaying images of the living—smiling children, peaceful elders, vicious spirits, and the joys and sorrows of humanity.The bands fl
A Phantom Patrol whispered, "I don't think things are that simple. The man beside them looks like an ordinary mortal, but just glancing at him makes my soul feel like it's about to shatter. He's terrifying."Another Phantom Patrol added, "Something major must have happened. The Reincarnation Hall isn't a place they can just walk into. This is going to reach Mr. Darkhold!"Blanc and Noir grew even more uneasy when they heard the hushed whispers. A thin sheen of cold sweat formed on their foreheads, and they instinctively quickened their pace. All they wanted was to reach the Reincarnation Hall as soon as possible, complete their task, and get out of this dire situation. They both knew it wasn't impossible to escort two mortals into the Reincarnation Hall without everyone finding out.Despite knowing they would get into trouble, Blanc and Noir had no choice under Landon's pressure.Sure enough, it didn't take long before chaos broke out in the Reincarnation Hall. A low-ranking Ph
Blanc stood with his head bowed, masking his emotions under the brim of his hat. Only the slightest hint of respect could be seen in his eyes. His tall frame was draped in a pure white robe that fluttered with the air in the room, giving him an aloof presence.Noir looked even more serious. His dark robe was embroidered with faint golden patterns, and the faint wrath around him disappeared when he got close to Landon. The iron chain in his hand swung lightly, striking the floor with a faint clink. The sound was unusually sharp in the quiet room, carrying an eerie chill. Aria gazed at Blanc and Noir and explained clearly, "I need to get into Netherrealm and check the Reincarnation Record."The instant the words left her lips, the air in the room seemed to freeze. Blanc hesitated, a flicker of doubt and disbelief passing through his eyes.Blanc slowly looked at Aria before lowering his gaze. He didn't dare look at her or Landon as he replied in a low and firm voice, "This isn't go
As long as the relic incident stayed secret, Wesson still had a chance to explain. He could accept punishment or a demotion. But if word spread that he had stolen Farshyan relics, Athara would make him a scapegoat, and he would be the focus of everyone's fury.Madden watched the building burn and g
Phineas was the one who asked. After getting rejected everywhere he'd tried, he had blown through almost all his family's savings. Plus, his mother had health problems that weren't going away. He was worried his father couldn't handle taking care of her alone if he was gone too long. Everyone el
Todd's body went rigid. He then told Aria, "Don't burn your bridges. You never know who you'll need later." "Well, that saying doesn't apply here." Aria's voice was casual. "What's the point of sparing people who do terrible things?" Todd had nothing to say. He could only watch helplessly as the
Barin's voice was filled with despair. "I've been searching for her in Los Stratos for a month. I've checked every college and every place she might have gone. I even made a police report, but there's still no trace of her."I ran out of funds, so I took over this restaurant to support myself while
