Sister An

The night was dim and heavy,

As though weighty chains had locked down the rhythm of the world, leaving only a few scattered lights atop the town's towers,

In the wilderness surrounding the human town, an enormous figure swept swiftly across the ground,

It moved like a phantom, silent and soundless,

Flickering through the shadows of the forest, like the devil from a nursery rhyme hunting the souls of those lost in the wilds...

Crunch~

This was the sound of giant claws treading through the earth,

The black figure came to a stop,

Beneath its feet was a slightly raised patch of ground,

Tap~

This was the sound of boots stepping onto the ground,

A small figure leaped down from the giant beast,

His blue eyes looked at the beast beside him as he said unhappily, "Hou! Move your claws away from here! Otherwise, next time I'll turn you into a Sea Soul Beast!"

"Roar~"

The giant beast gave a wronged cry and obediently retreated,

The figure bent down and looked at the small mound of earth. His gaze became exceedingly gentle as he softly stroked the ground and murmured,

"An, it's been more than a year... I'm back..."

The two before them were Bai Xiao and Hou. Bai Xiao had returned here to retrieve An's body...

Countless plant roots appeared in Bai Xiao's hand and gradually burrowed into the ground,

Crack~

The soil loosened, and the roots effortlessly broke apart the earth, turning over the dirt beneath,

"Roar?"

Hou watched Bai Xiao's strange actions from the side,

Before long, a skeleton appeared at the bottom of the pit,

It was an extremely small skeleton, with strands of flesh that had not fully decayed still clinging to it. On the outside was a layer of tattered cloth, vaguely recognizable as the shape of clothing,

Bai Xiao's eyes instantly grew wet. He knew this was the person he had yearned for day and night. Her body was much smaller than he remembered,

Bai Xiao remembered that he had once only reached below her shoulder,

Now, Bai Xiao could lift her skeleton with one arm,

"Children really grow up so fast~"

Bai Xiao sighed at time's mercilessness,

Ignoring the stench of decay, he bent down and gently stroked her forehead. Using his Cell Martial Soul, he extracted the genes recorded within her bones, vainly attempting to reclaim everything she had been,

I will create a world with An in it! Bai Xiao thought.

At that moment, he frantically circulated his soul power, using his Martial Soul to record the data from the corpse,

As the extraction continued, Bai Xiao discovered that something was wrong with An's genes,

"Why is the similarity between her genes and mine so high?!"

Stormy waves surged through Bai Xiao's heart as he thought of an astonishing possibility,

"An is my family!! She's my biological older sister!!"

Bai Xiao was instantly dumbfounded. He had never imagined that the answer would be one that made perfect sense,

Bai Xiao had always wondered why An had treated him so well before. Now Bai Xiao knew the answer: his body was An's biological younger brother!

After learning this news, Bai Xiao's feelings toward An became even more complicated,

But one thing had always remained buried in his heart: "Become a god! Resurrect An!"

Gods could resurrect the dead and grant others eternal life!

Bai Xiao's goal became crystal clear: become a god! This was his obsession, and for it, he could cast everything aside!

A sudden mutation erupted in Bai Xiao's body. His limbs abruptly slipped out of control, and an instinct of life surged into his heart,

"Devouring!!!"

An animal's devouring meant devouring the corpses of other living things and converting them into energy and matter within its own body,

At that moment, Bai Xiao could not control his body at all. He could only watch helplessly as the surface of his body began transforming into all sorts of grotesque fleshballs and gaping mouths,

They greedily devoured An's corpse, wanting to stuff her skeleton into his body,

Although Bai Xiao could not control his body, he could still receive the pain transmitted by his nerves,

Every part of his body was being torn apart!

That was the truest portrayal of Bai Xiao at that moment,

Hou in the distance was clearly terrified by the sight of Bai Xiao. It stood far away, guarding the surrounding area for him,
