nAll the eyes were silent and they stayed that way for some time leaving Zhao Luo to enjoy his moment of joy.
nHe felt nice and happy.
nThe real reason for Zhao Luo being this excited wasn’t because the eyes were silent because his mind talent was as they had said instead it was because ‘Mind of the Crimson God’ had a nice ring to it.
nHe found it acceptable and without even asking the eyes of the meaning behind this ‘Mind of the Crimson God’ he just went ahead and announced his victory and took his victory pose.
nThe eyes that had been disrespectful to Zhao Luo before spoke slowly to the other eyes.
nSo if this kid becomes a God he will already be at Crimson level. Unbelievable.
nAnother one of the eyes replied to this guy.
nIt is as you said.
nThe other eyes started giving their opinion on the matter of Zhao Luo’s mind talent too.
nHe doesn’t even look past his twenties. So how could he already have a mind with the highest state of potential.
nThey all were showing their shock that was caused because of the crimson shone that was caused by Zhao Luo.
nOne of the eyes said to the eyes in the middle.
nIf he is guided the right way he may be even able to surpass you oh Goddess.
nThe style of addressing the eyes in the middle by the one that spoke just showed how important the person was to whom these eyes belonged.
nYou are right. It isn’t even a maybe he will surpass all of us.
nThe eyes in the middle spoke.
nZhao Luo was listening to the conversation of these eyes carefully.
nHe was a little angry as they were ignoring him and talking as if he wasn’t even present there but right now the important thing for him was something else.
n‘The old man said that these seven Gods were even stronger than him and now they are talking about being surpassed by me.’
nZhao Luo couldn’t believe what he was hearing right now.
nThe eyes were still talking about him.
nI am still here. Can you explain to me too?
nZhao Luo asked the eyes in the middle.
nHe was hoping for an answer that could clear up every question on his mind ability.
nYou have passed our assessment with ‘Okay’ marks.
nThe eyes which had been picking a bone with Zhao Luo since the beginning started speaking.
nThough you may have surprised us a little but do remember this that there are many fishes in the sea as there are many birds in the sky.
nZhao Luo couldn’t find a justifiable reason behind bringing fishes and birds here.
nHe was confused and was looking at the eyes that spoke to him in a way that was asking the eyes to clarify.
nSo stupid. Don’t be complacent in only your potential. The time to be proud about this will be when you achieve that level.
nThe eyes tried to simplify its words.
nEven if it was an ego left by God there was something that not all of these eyes knew how to explain.
nZhao Luo was that something.
nThey had never expected that someone with such a powerful mind would be following their Heaven’s Way.
nZhao Luo you are an extraordinary individual. Even though your body is just passable your mind is already at the highest state.
nThe eyes promised Zhao Luo and continue to address him.
nThere have been talents like you even in our times and I am one of them.
nThe eyes shone with a crimson light.
nYet my mind wasn’t even half strong as yours when I started my journey to Godhood.
nThe eyes said to Zhao Luo.
nYou are worthy of Heaven’s Way.
nAfter the eyes in the middle said that to Zhao Luo all the eyes disappeared.
nZhao Luo was the only one in the dark area.
nShortly after that he felt a force grabbing him and lifting him upwards just to throw him away later.
nAfter that horrible feeling Zhao Luo found himself in his mind space where he was since the start with the Heaven’s Tomb in his hand.
nZhao Luo noticed that the Heaven’s Tomb was closed.
n‘Guess I have passed the test to see if I was worthy to walk on Heaven’s way.’
nAfter thinking about the thing which just happened to him Zhao Luo proceeded to open the book again.
nWhat?
nZhao Luo exclaimed as he wasn’t able to open the book.
nZhao Luo used all his force he could muster but he still couldn’t open it.
nZhao Luo was a little disappointed just when the book started shining.
nGrey light started coming out of the book as then the intensity of the greyish light reached an all-time high.
nThe book raised itself and floated above the hand of Zhao Luo.
nThe heavens tomb started dividing itself. Soon it turned to so many parts that the particles of Heaven’s tomb were hardly visible.
nThen all of those microparticles rushed towards the palm of Zhao Luo.
nAhhhhh
nZhao Luo screamed as he felt something hot crawling under his skin and entering his hand from the side of his palm.
nThe particles wherever they passed inside the arm of Zhao Luo to the other parts of his body a burning sensation was left behind in that place.
nZhao Luo was in a situation where he felt an extreme sensation of pain from every part of his body.
nHe was confused about whether to cry or scream because of the pain.
nThis continued for a while till no part of Zhao Luo was left from where the sensation of pain was missing.
nShit. This is too much.
nZhao Luo who was in pain was complaining about what was happening to him.
n‘Is this book trying to kill me??’
nZhao Luo thought because of the pain he felt.
nSoon the pain from all over his body gradually subsided.
nHe could still feel the burning sensation from one part. Right on the wrist of his right hand the pain was so much that he thought that his wrist would just fall off after melting.
nHe looked at his wrist and below the crease on his wrist towards his arm there was a book-shaped image lying there.
nThis is Heaven’s tomb. Why is it in my wrist?
nZhao Luo said questioning what had exactly happened as he recognized the shape and shine of the image on his wrist.
nWhile looking at the image of the Heaven’s Tomb on his wrist Zhao Luo felt a change that his body was going through.
nWhen the pain had ended he felt a strength surging all around his body.
nHe felt as if he only needed to wave his hand and the skies would fall.
nThat is how strong he felt at this moment.
nZhao Luo focused and tried to open his eyes.
nHe sat down in a lotus position in his mind space and closed his eyes.
nZhao Luo brought his hands closer towards his stomach without even realizing it.
nHe was only focused on waking the hell up and leaving the capsule.
nHe felt the energy coursing through his body and knew that this was the moment.
n‘If I don’t try to do it now then I will never be able to do it later.’ Zhao Luo thought.
nIt had already been many minutes since Zhao Luo had sat down to focus on trying to move his physical body yet there was no sign of that happening.
nZhao Luo didn’t give up. He still sat there like a rock eyes closed and all his focus on only one thought.
n‘I will move my BODY.’
nMore time passed.
nIt was already more than an hour since Zhao Luo had sat down. He didn’t know how much time had already passed.
nJust like that a few days had already passed and Zhao Luo was still sitting like that focused on the same thing without achieving any results without waking up.
nZhao Luo didn’t know but for him not much time had passed and just like that weeks went by and months passed away.
nTime kept on flowing yet there was no result.
nThen around a year time Zhao Luo let out a roaring sound.
nYes it took Zhao Luo a year just to roar.
nHis body started disappearing from his mind space.
nSoon it had completely disappeared from that dark space.
nMhmm ah
nBody creaking sound came from the body of Zhao Luo.
nHe was trying to move it and it was responding.
nHe still hadn’t opened his eyes yet.
nSo he didn’t know that there was a golden radiance surrounding his body.
nHis body was throbbing. That was how much force he was using to move it.
nZhao Luo focused everything on opening his eyes and then slowly yet surely he could feel the sensation of control over his eyelids.
nShaa~background music when Zhao Luo opens his eyes~
nZhao Luo finally opened his eyes.
nHe couldn’t believe it.
nHe was finally awake.
nIt felt as if he was in a long dream.
nWhere he slept a lot dreamt a lot and learned a few things from an old man that he had met.
nMy body is finally awake.
nZhao Luo said feeling the control over his body that he had gained again.
n
