Chapter 455

The Rakshasa ghost was no longer the vicious spirit that only knew slaughter, it had evolved into a terrifying Ghost King, its figure was even more massive and its aura more terrifying, as if it could devour everything.

"Why have you come to kill me?" The Ghost King had already developed sentience, but he was long gone from being that clear-eyed youth of the past.

"You killed my parents, my village, you tell me, should I kill you or not?" Roland did not shrink back, he deeply knew his purpose here.

He took a deep breath, channeled all his energy, and launched an attack.

For a time, heaven and earth were filled with the sound of energy and ghost qi colliding, as if space itself was being torn apart.

However, the Ghost King’s strength was far beyond what Roland imagined, its attacks were fierce as a torrential storm, although Roland fought with all his might, he was ultimately defeated.

"Why... why am I still unable to get my revenge?" Roland lay in a pool of blood, eyes filled with unwillingness and despair, he had worked so hard for so many years, only for this ending.

"I do not understand your desire for revenge, this world is fundamentally one where the strong prey on the weak, the weak are killed by the strong, what is the problem? Even if you killed me today, I wouldn’t have a single complaint." The Ghost King was confused, he didn’t understand why Roland wanted revenge.

Life and death, reincarnation, all things should naturally be like this.

"You don’t understand, you are just an evil beast! You will never understand human emotions!" Roland roared, his eyes practically splitting at the seams.

"Kill me, do it!"

If he couldn’t get his revenge, he might as well die.

The Ghost King looked at Roland coldly, as if looking at an insignificant ant, it extended its massive claws, ready to deliver the final blow.

Right at that moment, a dazzling light descended from the sky, enveloping both of them.

After the light dispersed, a mysterious figure appeared, wearing a thick cloak that obscured his face.

"The grudge between you shouldn’t have been for me to intervene in," the mysterious person said.

"However, this world requires balance, Ghost King, your power has become too formidable, it must be restrained."

The Ghost King roared and attacked, but the mysterious person’s strength was far above its own, after fierce battle, the Ghost King was sealed away in a mysterious place.

Watching this, Roland’s heart was filled with gratitude and reverence, he couldn’t compare to the mysterious person, but he understood a principle.

The path of cultivation is endless, only through continuous hard work can one become stronger.

Roland struggled to stand and bowed deeply. "Thank you for saving me, Senior."

The mysterious person smiled and nodded, then the scene vanished.

However, the mysterious person remained within Adam’s field of vision.

Adam was startled, he looked at the figure in astonishment. "You are?"

"I am the master of this streak of starlight, a former Seventh Stage Saint, also known as a Quasi-Emperor, you can call me the Heartless Saint." The mysterious person slowly lowered his hood.

He revealed the incredibly ordinary face of a middle-aged man, so ordinary that Adam didn’t even know how to describe it.

"Senior, all these scenes... did you experience them personally?" Adam asked with a frown.

"No, it’s just a story I wanted to show you." The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head.

"Actually, the ending isn’t like that."

"Roland ultimately died at the Ghost King’s hands, and I never appeared, the grudge ended there, in the end, it seemed the evil side won a complete victory."

"What are your thoughts on this?"

His tone was very plain, although smiling, one couldn’t feel a trace of emotion from him.

Adam furrowed his brows, he didn’t remember the Book Saint mentioning that the wills of former Saints could come out and converse, and even ask questions.

Could this be the unexpected aura the Book Saint had sensed?

Adam thought for a moment and said calmly. "I have no thoughts, the story you showed me, although cruel, is just total nonsense, in reality, it has absolutely no meaning whatsoever."

The middle-aged man froze, looking at Adam in astonishment, he hadn’t expected that.

"If you pull out a story like this in isolation, anyone would feel pessimistic and sad, because this story is inherently negative."

"But if you pulled out an inspirational, positive story, it would give a completely different impression."

"Therefore, my opinion is that it’s nonsense."

Adam spread his hands and continued.

"In this world perhaps there are things so dark they make you despair, but equally, there will be beautiful, kind deeds that warm the heart."

"So if you’re just showing me this single case, I will only say it holds absolutely no meaning."

"Oh, wait, no, I do have one thought, you’re very bored."

The corners of Adam’s mouth curled up as he looked at the middle-aged man’s dumbfounded expression.

The middle-aged man silently repeated this, a light slowly igniting in his eyes.

"Well said! It is indeed like that, young man, you are very impressive, are you ready to accept my gift?"

Adam was speechless, what was the meaning of suddenly giving him a gift?

The middle-aged man’s tone was desolate, but as his eyes looked at Adam, it was as if he saw hope.

"I was the first person to discover this space, it is incredibly miraculous, it can record a person’s spiritual past."

"So I refined this space into a dreamscape, hoping to temper the wills of my clan members."

"But when I returned to my clan from my travels, the very things I just showed you had happened."

Adam’s pupils shrank, he took a step back, looking at the middle-aged man warily.

"You turned into that Ghost King?"

"That’s right, I am that Ghost King, afterwards, I continuously elevated my strength and became a Ghost Saint, finally, I encountered a special fortuitous opportunity, and the soul of the original youth awakened, entangling with the sentience I had developed."

"Thus, I constantly doubted myself, I wanted to die every waking moment, but I couldn’t."

"But in the end, I was discovered, and several Saints joined forces to kill me, however, I don’t hate them at all, on the contrary, I am incredibly grateful to them."

"And I sealed my final shred of residual will within this space."

"Hoping to wait for someone who can see through the good and evil of the world, and hand this space over to him!"
