Tidying Up

"I had no need to lie to you." The old man sighed. "Actually, even now, I never thought I would be released. Because I am about to die."

Wei He narrowed his eyes and stared at him.

He truly had his doubts. If the other party really was one of the terrifying humans, then where had the technologies this man had given him come from?

If the terrifying humans also possessed corresponding research capabilities, then what exactly was this fellow before him trying to achieve?

"Besides, who I am is not important." The old man shook his head. "What matters is who you want to become."

He looked deeply at Wei He.

"A human, or something else?"

"So you noticed?" Wei He remained unmoved. He had been devouring the other party's Star Abyss will all along. If it were a human, perhaps they would not have noticed such a thing, but the other party was the very body being devoured, so naturally he knew perfectly well.

"I once wanted to walk this same path, just as you do. Naturally, I know this direction better than anyone." The old man said, "Now, you are the same. I do not know what you relied on to gain the ability to merge with Star Abyss will. But remember this: the so-called Star Abyss will you merged with was merely the lowest-level subordinate will.

"And do you truly believe that you were devouring Star Abyss will? Rather than Star Abyss will actively merging itself into your psychic energy?"

He suddenly spoke in a meaningful tone.

Wei He's heart jolted.

His vision suddenly trembled, and memories surged wildly from his mind like an avalanche.

From the first time he had devoured Star Abyss will to every subsequent occasion, he recalled each scene in an instant.
