Right then, Big Luo had a peaceful expression. But the shimmering in his eyes betrayed his true emotions, which was not as calm as his demeanor. There were waves of emotions inside him.

Ning Wan’ge stared at Big Luo, astonished. Thinking back to what Big Luo said earlier, she had numerous questions in her head.

“Fellow Big Luo, you…” Ning Wan’ge said, feeling a bit choked up.

Big Luo turned around to look at her, then smiled mysteriously and said, “for me, this is the place where it all began. Coming here, my memories that were lost and forgotten after so many reincarnations are finally becoming clearer.”

Ning Wan’ge looked at Big Luo as he looked around at the surroundings, the Middle World where the two of them are located. He said softly, “When I was born, my mother, the empress, passed away. I have never actually seen what she looks like. Fortunately, father deliberately preserved traces of it in my subconsciousness, so that I could eventually recognize her appearance.

A ray of light beamed out from his right eye, projecting an image in the void.

It was a rather blur and unclear image. They could only make out the silhouette, with no way to determine the true facial features of the person.

Ning Wan’ge’s body was shaking slightly as she looked at the figure. She was lost for words and Big Luo’s expression was full of anguish.

The figure before them resembled the body of light they saw in the palace previously, in the Outer Realms.

The mist gradually dispersed, revealing the stature of a woman, with unrivalled beauty. But in her eyes and brows, there was an adamance that made her appear chivalrous and valorous.

Although she stood there, she exuberated a feeling of uncertainty and inconsistency. It was difficult to determine her real location as it was always changing and impossible to predict. She was everywhere but nowhere at once.

Ning Wan’ge looked at the woman, with a sense of familiarity in her chest. At the same time, she felt confused and puzzled.

Big Luo stared longingly at the woman before him, his eyes revealing a profound sorrowness. He whispered, “I was wondering just now, how did the Void Sect determine this location? But now it is apparent.”

“Mother was not born into the Hades Clan. Although most people in the Hades Clan have grown to accept her as the empress after marrying father, there were still a few people who insisted on the purity of the bloodline. The leader of which was uncle Hou Ling.”

Ning Wan’ge said nothing at all. Although she was isolated from the rest of the world, and lost most of her memory, she was still aware of some things that were well known.

Hades Hou Ling, the clan brother of Hades Emperor Tianhai and closely related by blood. Before the war between the two realms, he was a reputable Vipralopa Great Demon in the Hades Clan. After the war, all traces of him was lost.

It was rumored that Hades Hou Ling followed other Hades into recluse from the rest of the world. But during the current war between the two realms, the Hades Clan reemerged into the Greater World. However, Hades Hou Ling was yet to be seen.

When Lin Feng destroyed the Hades City with his sword, Hades Hou Ling still did not make an appearance. After the war, there were much speculation from people all over the Divine Lands.

The majority believed that Hades Hou Ling failed his Second Tribulation of Destiny, right before the return of Hades to the Greater World. This might have caused him to perish in that Middle World.

Big Luo whispered gently, “uncle Hou Ling was executed over the fury of father.”

Hearing this, Ning Wan’ge sighed. Big Luo gazed at the Middle World in the distance, but his gaze was out of focus. He said, “after I was born, father decided to send me into the cycle of reincarnation with a secret spell. He also placed his hopes of controlling the Spirit Sea in me, when the Hades Clan returned to the Greater World.

“I must have let him down?” Big Luo questioned. The corner of his mouth twitched like he was smiling, but it seemed more like he was mocking himself. He said, “Only that, I am more lost and confused than ever now.”

“Before today, although reborned as a demon, deep in my heart, I have always regarded myself as human. Whether it is Hades Big Luo or Luo Rao, they are all me, but they are just names. Despite knowing that master Lin and I ruined father’s plan, I had no regrets.”

Big Luo seemed perplexed. He said, “but today, I was made aware of everything that has happened. Suddenly, I feel like I am not able to decide what is right anymore.”

“As a man of his own, I do not see anything wrong in what I have done before. I want to tell myself, I make my own decisions in life. Nobody should dictate what I am going to do, even if it was father, who gave me life.”

“I tell myself that the previous life and this life are independent of each other, but is that really the case?”

Ning Wan’ge looked at Big Luo with hesitation. Big Luo could guess what she was thinking and smiled lightly. He straightened his face and said, “No need to look at me like that. As I said, although I was confused of my identity before today, I have no regrets over what I did. I do not see them as wrongdoings either.”

“Of course, I do not blame Master Lin. Quite the opposite, I have only feelings of admiration for Master Lin. Regardless of the previous reincarnations, he was the one who shaped who I am in this life.”

Ning Wan’ge did not say anything, although she was feeling extremely vexed about her own identity. But previously, she got along well with Lin Feng and Master Wang Lin. Upon hearing what Big Luo had to say, she could not help but feel slightly worried.

Big Luo continued, “Even now, I very much admire Master Lin. Technically speaking, I have spent much more time with Master Lin, compared to with father and mother. I have never seen mother in person, while I was barely an infant when I saw father.”

“But I feel quite confused now. Letting down the hopes of father and Hades Clan, I do not know whether I was right or wrong. It was so difficult to make up my mind and cement my will, only to be wavered again now.”

Ning Wan’ge asked, “why are you telling me this?”

Big Luo shook his head, “it is not that I need someone to listen to me, but because you are have a role to play in this as well.”

“What do you mean?” Ning Wan’ge asked, as she could almost guess what he was about to tell her, and it caused her to quiver from deep within.

Big Luo said gently, “Master Lin once predicted that there was another executor of father’s will, besides myself, so as to ensure the plan does not fail or deviate. After my various reincarnations and breaking away the seal of the Spirit Sea, that person is supposed to guide me along to finally fulfill the plan.”

“That person actually exists”.

Ning Wan’ge was breathing faster. Big Luo looked at her and said profoundly, “Once father perished, because of the seal of the Spirit Sea, other clansmen also returned to the Obsidian World to recuperate, waiting for another chance. That means the person who remained in this world to ensure the smooth execution of his plan was a disciple of mother.”

“Mother has always been secretive in passing down her skills. Her disciple was also extremely mysterious, and few people knew of her. In the Divine Lands, even the Barren Expanses, and within the Hades Clan, there were few who learnt about her existence, besides father and mother.”

“As such, she could work behind the scenes and perform secret missions, without getting attention from others. After the Hades Clan went into refuge in the Obsidian Realm, there was nobody left to support her.”

Big Luo paused, then said, “But, unbeknownst to me the reasons, this sister of mine, seemed to have forgotten about this matter completely. She is even more oblivious than me, who has gone through so many reincarnations. That is how we ended up here. If not because I encountered Master Lin, I would still be under the Cycle of reincarnation.”

Ning Wan’ge took a deep breath, then asked, “am I really the person you are speaking about?”

Big Luo said, “I am not totally certain, but thinking back to what you told me earlier, as well as your recollection of your memories in that Outer Realm, I guess you are the one.”

“But I have no idea why you are in this state now”.

Ning Wan’ge sighed gently and said, “You are right, what has happened to me?”

She kept advancing deeper into this Middle World. Big Luo followed closely behind and they were on their way.

It was such a pity that this Middle World was completely desolate. Although it has not been wiped out of existence, the spiritual energy has dissipated entirely, leaving Ning Wan’ge and Big Luo with not much to gain from.

Within the Middle World, there was another destroyed palace, but in a bigger scale and more majestic than the palace in the Outer Realm.

Walking amongst it, the colorful aura of light surrounding Ning Wan’ge spreaded in all directions, gradually enveloping the entire palace.

A faint scent twirled continuously in the air, escaping the confinement of the palace, fusing with Ning Wan’ge.

The brilliant light in Ning Wan’ge’s eyes grew brighter. Gradually, it became almost blinding, while the palace began to tremble, on the verge of collapsing.

Big Luo said gently, “just let this place reduce to dust and return to the earth”.

Ning Wan’ge looked at him and nodded. The ray of light was sheathed and the palace started to crumble rapidly.

Following the collapse of the palace, the entire Middle World tended towards extermination. Between the heaven and earth, terrifying patterns of fissure grew and spreaded. It was the breaking point for this Middle World.

Ning Wan’ge stepped out of the Middle World first and turned around to see Big Luo slowly walking away from it. Behind him, that Middle World was slowly crumbling and dying out.

Big Luo said, “looks like you learnt something new. Let’s go”.

Ning Wan’ge said, “maybe you can return to Ying Sea Penglai Celestial Mountain to see clan master Lin. Take some time to recollect your thoughts and emotions.”

“I already used spellpower to telecommunicate to Master Lin my thoughts and what has just happened,” Big Luo said as he shook his head, “since being here, I found the answers to most of my questions, but I want to keep searching with you.”

“I also wish to see whether mother left anything behind”.

Ning Wan’ge said nothing more. She casted a series of spells and rays of light lit up in her pupils, leading to a place far away.

Looking at that light ray turning incessantly in the void, almost losing direction, but still paving way into the darkness ahead, both Ning Wan’ge and Big Luo already knew what was going on. They must enter into yet another Void Battleground.

The duo levitated up together and tore open the Void Realm, setting foot into the most chaotic of the Grand Celestial Seven Seas – Void Sea.

The two of them went head on with a void cyclone this time, which made a mess in the dimension. Even with their Abhijna spell power, they had to remain very focused to stay safe.

However, after breaking through the void cyclone, the duo set foot on the right path again, continuing on their mission ahead.

But due to this void cyclone, their sensory abilities are hindered to a certain extent. When they started walking again, they both frowned and as a commotion caught their attention.

Waves of disturbance caused by spell usage came from a dimension far away. A human clan and a demon clan are fighting.

Ning Wan’ge stopped looking after a brief glance, but Big Luo’s gaze was frozen for a moment.
