It was the same familiar space.
Chen Lin looked at the densely packed rays of light in the distance and felt an inexplicable sense of warmth.
His previous life experiences had all brought him tremendous benefits and a surging cultivation base. He wondered what this one would be like.
But he immediately warned himself.
He must not grow arrogant.
Completing three life tasks did not mean they were easy, especially the letters from deep within the Life River. Their danger was unimaginable.
As he was thinking, a grey pigeon flew over, beating its wings.
Chen Lin's eyes flickered.
This pigeon gave him the impression of someone weathered by countless experiences and deeply calculating, like an ancient relic who had cultivated for over ten thousand years.
His earlier suspicion resurfaced.
Could these letter pigeons all have been transformed from people?
Pearl, the maid aboard the Life Ferry, could shift between pigeon and human forms. Perhaps the pigeons here were the same.
"Honored Experiencer, welcome aboard the Life Ferry. You may choose a direction, and I will select a Life Letter for you according to your guidance."
The pigeon spoke in a dry, hoarse voice.
Chen Lin gathered his thoughts.
After taking a look, he did not make his choice immediately. Instead, he looked at the pigeon and asked, "Could I pay you life coins to help me choose a task that's easy to complete?"
The Grey Pigeon's eyes shifted.
It shook its head like a human. "The charm of the Life Letters lies in their uncertainty. The rules do not permit me to do that."
Then the pigeon shook its wings.
"Hurry and choose," it urged. "Don't waste time. You only have one chance to choose a direction. If you give it up, I will retrieve one at random."
Having said
