“Let’s go.” David took Jiang Xuelan’s hand and swam towards the lake.
This time, nothing could stop them.
It was already dusk when the two swam out of the lake.
The golden leaves of the Tree of Life glittered in the evening light of the setting sun, like millions of golden stars.
The aurora borealis drifted slowly overhead, its color changing from pale to a soft reddish purple.
David stumbled to the edge of the lake and fell flat on the grass.
Jiang Xuelan sat beside him, also looking exhausted.
The two remained silent for a long time.
“Gui Xu’s last words” Jiang Xuelan spoke first, “He’s still alive, and he’s talking about Bei Mingyuan?”
David nodded.
“Bei Mingyuan’s remaining soul is indeed in my body. Guixu felt it.”
Jiang Xuelan frowned, her expression serious: “Gui Xu told us to be careful, does that mean Bei Mingyuan’s remnant soul threatens you?”
David smiled bitterly: “What threat can a piece of remnant soul pose? The soul is so weak that it can’t even defend itself, so what can it do to me?”
Jiang Xuelan shook her head, her expression serious: “Don’t underestimate Bei Mingyuan. He is the ancestor of the Ice God lineage and the first being in the world to master the law of ice. His methods are beyond our imagination.”
David did not speak, but closed his eyes, trying to re-feel the location of the remnant soul in his body.
This time, he felt it.
That remnant soul is no longer in my dantian.
It’s moving.
It moved towards his sea of consciousness!
David suddenly opened his eyes, his expression changed drastically.
“What is it?” Jiang Xuelan asked worriedly.
“He’s coming into my consciousness” David’s voice was a little trembling, “He wants to possess me!”
Jiang Xuelan suddenly stood up, placed her hand on David’s temple, and an ice-blue divine light poured into his head in an attempt to stop the remnant soul.
However, the remnant soul was too fast.
It was as if he had been waiting for this moment for countless years, and he knew every meridian and acupuncture point on David’s body like he knew the palm of his own hand.
Before Jiang Xuelan’s divine light could catch up to him, it had already barged into David’s sea of consciousness.
David’s consciousness was suddenly dragged into the sea of his consciousness.
His sea of consciousness was like a golden ocean, with countless golden light spots floating on its surface—his memories, emotions, and soul fragments.
Right in the center of his thoughts, a book shimmered with golden light; it was the Great Luo Golden Scripture.
It stood quietly amidst the sea of consciousness, emitting a gentle and warm light.
At this moment, an icy blue light floated above the sea of consciousness.
It was a blurry humanoid silhouette, his face was indistinct, and one could only vaguely see that he was wearing an ancient suit of armor and had a pair of giant ice wings on his back.
He radiated a bone-chilling cold aura, and the golden sea in his mind formed a thin layer of frost beneath his feet.
“How many years” the light and shadow spoke, his voice old and deep, “How many years have I waited for this moment.”
His gaze fell on the book at the center of his thoughts, and he frowned slightly.
“Great Luo Golden Scripture? I never expected you would have something like that in your sea of consciousness?”
His gaze swept across the golden ocean in his mind, and he saw floating specks of golden light—David’s memories.
“Golden Dragon bloodline Chaotic power and aura of Ice God bloodline”
The voice of light and shadow contained a hint of joy: “This body is even more perfect than I expected.”
He raised his hand and reached into the depths of David’s soul.
