Chapter 3: Sin
This time, that strange dream did not appear again, and Hao rarely enjoyed the comfort of sleep. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The next morning, he woke up early, sat on the bed, his mind was rarely clear, sighed deeply, and suppressed the anxiety in his heart.
Dressed in his clothes, he paced to the living room and sat down by the window again, waiting for the turning point of his fate.
The snow outside the house is still falling from the sky as always, and the silvery white sky and earth are still beautiful, but I don't know if I will be able to see it in the future.
"Knock knock!" the sound from the stone door pulled Hao back from his melancholy.
Hao retracted his thoughts, walked over briskly and opened the door.
Sure enough, familiar faces were smiling at him.
"Morning!" Hao said hello, but the man had already walked back, and once again sat on the windowsill and looked out.
"What's the matter, boy, scared?" said Raven, who had already walked in through the doorway, sat down on a chair not far away, and crossed his legs again.
Hao didn't say anything, but nodded.
"Actually, you can regret it! You ......"
"What is the chance that Raven will survive if I attend that ceremony?" Hao interrupted him before he could finish.
"Hmm...... To tell you the truth, ten percent, maybe even less. Although Raven hesitated, he still told Hao the truth.
"Can you tell me something about it?"
"Yes, that's what I'm here for. Raven looked at Hao's side face for a moment and then said, "Do you know Youngton Nikko?"
Looking at Hao and nodded, Lei Wen continued, "The Tomb of the Ascended Soul is from the hand of Ronton, and it contains the inheritance of the oracles who have died in battle, it could be anything. ā
"As you know, the battlefield is changing rapidly, so a prophet who has reached a certain level of strength will leave something in the Tomb of the Ascension before carrying out a dangerous mission. ā
"Generally, the things of inheritance carry the powerful source power of the ancestors, and your chance to nirvana is to obtain the inheritance and re-stimulate the source power. ā
"But to obtain the inheritance, you must be tested, and the test left by each ancestor is different, although most of them will not endanger the life of the surname, but you are different, you cannot use the source power, and the danger level will increase several times. ā
"Besides, the possibility of regenerating the source force is too low and too low, there have been many cases of you in history, but there has only been one successful person. With that, Lei Wen looked at Hao quietly.
"I see, if I come back alive, tell me more stories about the Prophets!" Hao looked back, and the blank look on his face had disappeared with a little relief.
"Hmm!" Raven stood up without saying anything more, patted him on the shoulder, and after a solemn reply, turned and walked out the door, and when he opened the door, he looked back at Hao again.
"You have to succeed, I don't want you to be in the wilderness. With that, the door slammed shut, and the living room fell silent again.
For a whole afternoon, Hao sat by the window and watched the flying snow in a daze, maybe uneasy, maybe scared, he didn't know what it was, in short, his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
As the sun completely set, the surroundings fell into darkness again, and gradually a trace of inexplicable excitement emerged from the bottom of my heart.
Then this feeling grew stronger and stronger, making him fidget, and "Buzz ......" suddenly heard a buzz in his head, and Hao's eyes were dark when he was standing by the window, and the whole person fainted.
Once again, he fell into a dream, only this time, things changed a little.
When the unknown black matter approached, the source force still came out to stop it as always, only this time they looked weaker, and even a little shaky.
This made Hao a little panicked, from now on, it was obvious that the problems with his source force were related to these unknown things.
After a while, the feeling of suffocation reappeared, and Hao was once again squeezed out of that space.
When Hao woke up, his body was as weak as ever, and when he looked out the window with all his strength, he realized that the sun had just appeared, and this time it was much shorter than the last time.
Hao staggered to his feet from the ground and gently patted his dizzy forehead.
"Knock knock knock......" There was another inopportune knock outside the door, a tyrannical aura emerged from the bottom of his heart, and then disappeared in an instant, Hao was stunned, a little overwhelmed, this tyrannical feeling made him a little scared, and even felt a little strange for a moment.
Then his thoughts were broken by a series of knocks on the door, Hao frowned, dragged his weak body, opened the door, and Revin's familiar smiling face appeared in front of him again.
"Are you ready, boy, one last chance, you have one last chance to regret it. ā
Hao looked up at him, "Let's go!"
After that, he walked out of the door first, and stood and waited for Lei Wen to lead the way, he knew that with his weak body now, it would definitely be more dangerous to break into the tomb of the ascending soul, but he was unwilling to wait, who knew what kind of darkness in the dream realm would swallow him.
Raven smiled again, turned to close the door, and walked forward, his smile fading and his brow furrowing as he turned.
For some reason, he saw a little strangeness in Hao's eyes just now, it was an astonishing coldness that trembled, but that feeling only lasted for a while, and disappeared immediately.
There were no words all the way, and the two of them walked mechanically with their own thoughts.
As he walked out of the corridor of the accommodation area, the passage became wide again, as monotonous as ever, Hao constantly suppressed the wisp of tyranny in his heart, but on the surface it was as calm as ever, Hao wanted to tell him about his strange dream. But I don't know how to express it.
Lei Wen led the way in front, his heart had already turned a monstrous wave, he didn't believe that it was his own delusion, with his strong spirit to want to appear delusion, it was simply more difficult, Lei Wen wanted to ask, but he couldn't speak.
With their own questions, the two walked to the spiral staircase that was not high.
This time Jasco had been waiting there for a long time, and he was still holding a heavy book as always, but he didn't look at it, and put his right hand between his crotch.
The three of them said hello briefly and walked upwards together.
Jasco rarely chattered about precautions, Lei Wen was rarely silent, and an inexplicable sense of irritability swept through Hao's inner world.
This irritability continued until the three of them stopped near the top floor of the spiral staircase, and the irritability gradually subsided.
Hao just finished looking around, and was pulled back by Jasco's voice, "Okay, we're coming!" Jasco said solemnly, and walked inside with the two of them, the corridor is still the same as in the impression, but this time on both sides of the corridor, there are many stone statues of different shapes, I think it should be the prophets of the past dynasties.
Hao kept looking left and right, as the stone statues became fewer and fewer, a huge stone door appeared in front of him, the stone door was carved with complex patterns, and on both sides sat stone statues that were obviously larger than before.
The creator of the temple.
Jasco and Lei Wen glanced at each other, and the two walked to the stone statues on both sides, holding their hands on the heart of the stone statue, activating the source power, the white stone statue began to become transparent, and the source force inside followed a special trajectory, from the heart to the whole body.
"Wow......" The sound of a heartbeat came from the stone statue.
Although Jasco had already said it just now, the strangeness of the vision in front of him still made Hao couldn't help but be amazed, and the patterns on the stone gate glowed with a white-gold light, as if they had come to life, constantly flowing.
The "Boom ......" stone door slowly opened with a surprising heaviness, and then a strong white-gold light that made it impossible to look directly covered the entire passage.
A suffocating feeling of oppression came over his face, and Hao stumbled a few times and almost fell to the ground.
"Go, remember, you must succeed!" heard the sound of Raven's roar.
Hao stared at the huge oppression, leaned forward, and walked effortfully towards the door.
Sweat dripped from his forehead, but Hao could only cry and laugh in his heart, he didn't expect that he would be like this before he went in.
The closer he got, the greater the sense of oppression, and finally when Yan was about to lose his support, he rushed in.
Then there was another buzz in my ears, and it was pitch black in front of me.
When Hao woke up again, everything in front of him was different, the sky was surrounded by source power, like ripples of water, and the black earth was full of white rocks.
The sharp edges look like they can easily cut through the skin.
The place where Hao is located is a small island in levitation, with a small area and a diameter of about ten meters.
On both sides, there are small suspended rocks, forming a trail that leads in all directions, and the bottom is bottomless, and the clouds and mist look like it makes people feel weak.
"Every path leads to the inheritance of an ancestor, and it is possible to choose anyone, and you can choose which path to go for yourself. Suddenly, Raven's voice came from all directions, and then fell silent again.
Hao stood here for a long time, constantly scanning but finding that each road, except for the different shapes of the stones, there was no difference, and finally made up his mind and walked towards a path.
He cautiously tried to make it sink and shake slightly every time his foot stepped on the rock, so that there was no way to speed up, and if he was not careful, he would fall below.
He could only stop one step at a time, dragging his weak body slowly.
Outside the Tomb of the Ascended Soul, Raven and Jasco put down the hand that teleported the source power, glanced at each other, and walked out.
On both sides of the corridor, looking for something, the two of them kept looking at the stone statues on both sides, as if they didn't find what they were looking for.
Just when the two were puzzled, they suddenly thought of something at the same time, raised their heads at the same time, looked at each other and smiled bitterly again.
"It can't be such a coincidence!" said Raven, turning and running towards the spiral staircase, Jasco following with a frown.
The two of them quickly ran along the stairs to the next floor, this time closer to the top floor, the corridor connected by the stairs was not far away, and now at the end of the staircase, you can see that at the end of this corridor without light, there is a thick iron door several meters high, the iron door is blocked by a wrist-thick iron chain, and there are incomprehensible words carved on it.
Lei Wen did not hesitate, took the lead to the iron door, and put his hand on the door to inject source power, and then a sound of metal friction sounded, and the iron chain began to move quickly, and the iron chain was withdrawn from all sides in a short time.
Thunderwin's hand was forced, and with the heavy sound of the door opening, a stone statue of a different kind was placed in the room, and there was not a trace of light in the room.
The milky white stone statue is carved of a young man, his hands and waist are hung by black iron chains, and his body leans forward, as if he is going to pounce somewhere, but he is restrained, and his expression is hideous and terrifying.
One eye of the stone statue glowed with the light of the source power, and the other eye emitted a strange blood-red light.
"How could it be such a coincidence?" said Raven with a wry smile as he looked at the stone statue in front of him.
"Betrayer, I didn't expect someone to choose him in the end!" Jasco swallowed, "I'm afraid it's unlikely that this kid will come back alive this time." ā
Inside the Tomb of the Ascending Soul, Hao still struggled to walk on the suspended rock, I don't know why, the more he walked inside, the stronger the tyrannical feeling in his heart became, which made Hao a little scared, but helpless.
I don't know when it started, every time he took a step forward, the rocks behind him would sink, and he had no way to retreat, so he could only move forward.
Fortunately, under the continuous advancement, a huge suspended island in the distance gradually appeared, but there was a barrier composed of source force on the surface of the island, and the source force on the barrier flowed rapidly, the momentum was huge, and the spectacle of the scene was breathtaking.
Slowly, the island will come into full view, and the suspended rocks will be attached to the surface of the island, and you can jump on it as soon as you cross it.
Hao hesitated here, if the barrier blocked him, he would fall down immediately, but if he didn't jump, he had no way back at all, and finally after half an hour he mustered up the courage and jumped up with a stiff face.
Hao, who had his eyes closed, easily passed through the barrier and landed on the island, lying on the ground.
The island has changed from a barren and bizarre scene, with green trees and towering peaks as far as the eye can see.
Hao stood at the entrance and gasped violently, his legs were trembling until now, and he might have fallen off with a deviation.
I wiped the sweat off my head with palpitations, tried my best to calm my mood, and walked step by step towards the woods, no one knew what was waiting behind the woods.
Hao walked cautiously, looking around, the trees here don't know how many years they have grown, and the trunks are so thick that I'm afraid that a few people can't hold them hand in hand.
There were some red and yellow fruits on the branches, the size of a fist, but not many in number.
Hao, who first entered here, could only wander aimlessly.
The foliage and the dim the light became, but to Hao's surprise, the air around him seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, at first he thought he was too tired, but now, he could clearly feel the solemnity in the air.
In the dim world, I can't feel the passage of time, Hao walks aimlessly, I don't know where to go, and slowly a trace of tyranny spreads like a sprouted seed in my heart.
Hao finally got bored with the unchanging scenery in front of him, but he was helpless, and he was weak and helpless.
Walking helplessly, the deeper and deeper darkness swallowed him, and slowly the boredom and tyranny receded one after another, and the helplessness and fear began to spread.
The feeling of hunger and thirst that had not been seen for a long time suddenly appeared, which caught Hao off guard.
He remembered fondly what Raven had told him during his small talk.
The source power in the body is enough to cope with the consumption of the body, so the prophet does not need to eat and drink, and if it appears, it can only prove that the source power is exhausted.
Thinking of this, Hao suddenly thought of that strange dream.
Before he could think, his heart suddenly felt a sharp pain, and he clutched the skin on his chest in a vain attempt to alleviate the pain.
The heavy breathing of "huhuhu......huhu" allowed him to feel his presence and not get lost in pain.
"Ah......" The tearing sensation caused by each beat of his heart made him fall to the ground overwhelmed, and then his consciousness gradually blurred.
The dream reappeared, and the black sticky thing swept towards him as always.
Like a veil-like source power, it slowly came out and collided with the pitch-black thing.
The vision was shocked, and the source force was like glass that had been violently hit by a stone, shattering in an instant.
The darkness of the sky was completely enveloped in a few breaths, suffocation and pain were the only remaining sensations, he couldn't even think, they followed his pores and mouth...... A rush in.
The meridians that flow along the source force take it for yourself and go straight to the heart.
"Oo......oo
"Ah......" Hao, who was lying on the place with his eyes closed, let out a miserable scream again.
Slowly, the consciousness is getting weaker and weaker.
In a trance, Hao saw a strange scene, in a dark space, a self that exuded the light of the source power.
Walking slowly forward, walking and walking, he could only watch as the figure walked farther and farther away, slowly disappearing into the darkness.
Gradually, the distant figure turned into a point of light, and just as it was about to disappear, the point of light suddenly swelled.
Dispelled all darkness in an instant.
The light of the source force filled the place again, and a figure slowly approached from a distance, and a face that Hao was all too familiar with gradually became clear.
"Knass!" Hao was shocked and wanted to exclaim, but he couldn't make a sound.
The figure of Knath stood not far away, as if he could see through the deep gaze of the soul and look here.
"Never be consumed by sin, this is the last time I can help you!"
Knnas only gave Hao a vague look, which slowly dissipated as if it had never appeared.
In the next second, Hao, who was covered in sweat, suddenly woke up from the ground, if it wasn't too real what had just happened, Hao would probably really think it was just a dream.
Unlike before, every time he experienced a dream, he was sweating profusely and weak.
This time he was still sweating profusely, but he felt that his body was full of strength, a strength that had never been seen before.
