Immediately following Episode 520, an indescribable sigh rang out in the darkness, carrying both melancholy and relief.
Perhaps, just as you said, I am weak.
The next moment, two distinctly different lights suddenly lit up in the depths of the darkness. On the left were brilliant crimson-gold eyes like molten gold; on the right were blazing crimson-red eyes like burning fire.
The light pierced through the boundless darkness and locked firmly onto Chi Tong.
That voice rang out again. This time, there was less mockery and more of a profound sense of fate.
Everyone had a weak side. Perhaps that was why you appeared.
The voice paused. Carrying a distant recollection, it slowly said, "When I first realized that I had come to this unfamiliar world, my first feeling was neither joy nor curiosity, but fear that seeped into my bones. Although I did everything I could to adapt to this brand-new world, no matter what I did, I could not drive it away."
This fear of the unknown had always been hidden deep in my heart and had never faded.
I even tried to forget it, using victory and strength to cover it up, even trying to avoid it.
I thought that as long as I became strong enough—strong enough that no one could rival me—this fear would disappear completely.
At this point, the voice carried a little more self-mockery. "And it was precisely because of that that you appeared when I was first completely trapped by fear. The absolute strength I separated out was the armor I used to fight fear."
This was also what Chi Tong had never been able to understand. He had never understood why, when that mysterious ball of light erupted, he had split into two and given birth to another completely different personality.
