Chapter 2721: White Spiritual World
Xu Huo walked forward. First, he passed through the body of his younger self—the personality shaped by years of pain and repression. Then he crossed the threshold and passed through the body of his teenage self—the self split away when sudden upheaval severed the past from the present. Next came his childhood self, the boy who had been trained by Dr. Zhang at an age when he barely understood the world, and made cruel...
Each time he passed through a door, that personality merged into his body. Subtle, distinct forces passed through him, some settling, others flowing away, until at last they soothed his agitated Spiritual World.
White spread from beneath his feet, gradually replacing the black until the entire world had turned pure white.
At the same time, Xu Huo himself began to fade. First his clothes, then his tools and equipment, and finally his skin and hair. Slowly, his whole body turned transparent, until he merged into the white world.
The silent white flowed outward without a sound, like a calm sea, quietly consuming everything around it. It swept over the uneven Underground Passage and the colorful, glowing mines, covering the Mutated Plants growing everywhere. It passed through the vast underground world, followed the currents of air and wind, and finally reached the sinkhole's exit...
But this state did not last long. The white sea began to recede, gradually gathering back where Xu Huo had originally stood, forming a white square table.
The four of them were seated around it once more. There was nothing before the childhood personality; the teenage personality had the Ace of Hearts playing card before him, and the young adult personality had a sheathed dagger.
No one occupied Xu Huo's seat. A white book lay on the table.
