Consciousness Returns

As for just how many strange things still lay hidden within his body, Ye Chen's mind was so shocked that he was nearly incapable of thought.

In the span of mere moments, the boy lost all his former composure and arrogance, plunging instead into indescribable panic and astonishment.

The corners of his eyes twitched as he staggered back again and again. Though he said nothing aloud, his thoughts continued to pour into Ye Chen's mind without end.

"Wh-who left this power behind!?"

"Could it be him...?"

"N-no, not him. Not Him either..."

"The aura is completely different. It's neither of them!"

"Then who could it be!?"

"Wait... more noteworthy than this power's owner is the point in time when it was implanted..."

"This power wasn't planted within the past few decades..."

"It had been waiting here since long, long ago..."

"Before everything even began, it was already lying in ambush here..."

"How did things turn out like this...?"

"A fourth party actually intervened in that deal back then?"

"No... that's impossible..."

"Could it be...?"

The boy muttered like a madman, his face frozen in disbelief, his steps light and drifting as though his soul had left his body.

At the same time, protected by the bizarre radiance of that white dawn, Ye Chen's body instantly broke free of its former restraints, his strength returning in a rush.

Faced with this abrupt reversal, Ye Chen's face was filled with disbelief.

Yet even though he had no idea what was happening, the sight of the boy panicking and losing all command of the situation made Ye Chen's gaze turn fierce with resolve. He lunged forward in a great stride, his entire figure flashing before the boy like lightning.

The icy killing intent rushing at him jolted the boy awake from his shock.
