In this space, seemingly swallowed by endless darkness, not a single ray of light can be seen; time here has lost all meaning and value.
Gu Chen was filled with confusion and fear as he found himself unable to sense the powerful Soul Power fluctuations within his own body.
Not only that, but even the bloodline power of the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon, which he had always been proud of, vanished without a trace, as if evaporated into thin air.
Once, his body had been strengthened by being soaked in dragon blood for a long time, but now it was no different from that of an ordinary person, extremely fragile.
However, just when Gu Chen felt despair, an amazing discovery gave him a boost of spirits— his Double Pupils still existed on his body, and he could use them freely, just like Martial Soul Possession.
"Is it truly worthy of being a being of extremely high status? Even when facing the immense threat of death, even though it is merely a Martial Soul, it still possesses such terrifying power!" Gu Chen murmured to himself, a sense of awe welling up in his heart.
At this moment, Gu Chen keenly realized that the predicament he was facing might be the perfect opportunity for him to become stronger.
With the help of the miraculous regeneration ability of the Heaven-Mending Stone, he may be able to reshape everything about himself, completely transform his Martial Soul into a unique physique, and become a true Double Pupil Bearer.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen's previously dull eyes instantly ignited with a flame of hope.
Just as Gu Chen was immersed in his beautiful vision of the future, suddenly, a figure slowly emerged from the Void.
A man stood quietly, his black hair cascading down his shoulders like a waterfall, swaying gently in the wind; his golden pupils were like the bright sun high in the sky, radiating a dazzling light that dared not be looked at directly, and it seemed as if countless stars were constantly turning in his eyes, mysterious and unpredictable.
The man slowly emerged from the shadows, without any astonishing or dazzling special effects.
However, the moment he appeared, an indescribable and unique aura instantly spread out.
"You are...?" Gu Chen stared wide-eyed at the unfamiliar yet strangely familiar man in front of him, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something to break the silence and confusion.
But the words stuck in his throat, because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember when or where he had seen this person before.
However, a strong sense of familiarity welled up in my heart like a tide, as if a voice was telling me from the depths of my soul.
The person before me is no ordinary person; there must be some intricate connection between them.
This feeling was so real and lingering that Gu Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Just as the man appeared, the thick, persistent blackness receded rapidly like a tide.
The situation was as if the black creature possessed Life Goddess its own, sensing some kind of aura emanating from the man, to the point that it had to actively avoid him, even at the cost of its own life.
The man gazed silently at the silent Gu Chen, a faint, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips.
He thought to himself, "Fine, I'll help you this time, but this is a one-time exception."
Then, the man slowly opened his lips and said to Gu Chen in an extremely pleasant voice, "Come with me. This place is the location of the Path of Reincarnation, not a place you should tread."
The man's voice was like heavenly music, clear and melodious, refreshing and delightful to the ear. It was like a gentle spring breeze, soft and warm, calming the mind and bringing peace. Just hearing his voice was enough to create a sense of intimacy.
As the man finished speaking, the surrounding darkness completely dissipated. What had been concealed by the darkness was revealed—one after another, souls!
These souls took on various forms; some were utterly numb, lifeless like walking corpses; others wore expressions of pain, seemingly still trapped in the suffering of their past lives; still others wore expressions of detachment, as if they had already seen through everything in this world...
However, despite their different emotional states, they share a common and striking characteristic—each soul is so ethereal and fleeting, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
In contrast, the man and Gu Chen standing there appeared so different and out of place.
Among the countless, even hundreds of thousands or millions of souls, Gu Chen spotted a rather familiar figure at a glance.
Upon closer inspection, Gu Chen was startled— Evil Soul Master!
That's right, it's those extremely Evil God and detestable Evil Soul Master!
At this moment, Gu Chen suddenly realized that this place did not seem to be Path of Reincarnation encompassed all the heavens and myriad worlds and all parts of the universe, but was very likely just a unique place of Reincarnation on the Douluo Continent.
It should be noted that quite a few Evil Soul Master have lost their lives at the hands of Gu Chen; a rough estimate would put it at least in the dozens or even hundreds.
Gu Chen still had some impression of these guys.
After all, he possesses the amazing ability of photographic memory. Every person's face and the ferocious and twisted expression before death are deeply imprinted in the depths of his mind.
However, Gu Chen didn't care about this. In his view, these Evil God creatures who made a living by harming others deserved to be killed, and it was their own fault.
"Who exactly are you?" Facing the mysterious and unpredictable Evil Soul Master before him, Gu Chen ignored the other party's words and directly asked the question that he most urgently wanted to know the answer to.
For some reason, this person only needed to say a few words to make Gu Chen feel a strange sense of intimacy, but at the same time, he felt a deep sense of disgust and fear.
