The Shadow of Immortality Chapter 12

Clark looked at her, laughing, and said: "You’re all ridiculous! You covet my death, but I do not fear it. You’re also hiding something. I want to know what it is."

Clark approached her.

She materialized a chair and a table.

Clark asked: "How is this possible?"

She replied: "This is my private world, my domain. Therefore, I can create anything as long as it is within my will."

Clark asked again, nervously: "Time! I assume you want to talk at length, but I cannot. We might all die."

The Lady replied: "Firstly, if we talk for a long time—say, an hour—it will only seem like a minute outside. Also, don’t worry, there are those who protect us. I can speak with you here while simultaneously observing the external world."

Clark felt uneasy around her and asked an important question: "You are no ordinary entity. How does a being like you exist among humans? Are you one of the Founders? Are you Chahaya, the Spirit of Ice?"

She let out a quick laugh, but her face soon turned serious: "How do you know that? As long as you are within my will, I am superior to you. Hasn’t it been obvious from the beginning? I possess the secrets of the first humans. The Great Venerable One, Lucifer’s disciple."

Chahaya replied: "But his disciple died in the Great War."

Deep in his heart, Clark was astonished and thought to himself: "So, who wrote ’Secrets of Heaven and Earth’? It must have been Lucifer’s disciple and no one else. She is merely dead."

Clark broke the silence, speaking: "Lucifer’s disciple did not die; he escaped!!"

She retorted: "How did he escape? I saw the sacred ray pierce him." -"I think it piercedyou, not him! How dare you, a dead princess, speak about the affairs of the living?! I always knew you were just a wandering spirit haunting the world of the living!!"

She responded angrily: "Who do you think you are, you corrupt one? I am a descendant of the Progenitor of Humans. Do you think someone as lowly as you has the right to belittle me?"

Clark laughed inwardly: "The more I provoke her, the more information she reveals, and the more I benefit. How easy life is! But I need to win her over; she will be useful later. I will use a push-and-pull strategy with her to balance our conversation."

Clark pretended to be shocked by her claim of being a descendant of the Progenitor, feigning ignorance to make her talk more.

Chahaya laughed: "Hahaha! Now you know, you fool, that you are just a frog at the bottom of a well. Yes, you had better remember that well."

Clark replied: "Tell me more about that."

She looked at him with a cold, harsh gaze: "And why should I tell you?"

Clark responded, a fierce, savage, and intensely angry will emanating from him: "TELL ME!"

She screamed in shock: "Alisa! The waters are surging everywhere! Lucifer’s will!"

"Lucifer, in truth, was not a descendant of the Progenitor of Humans. He was named ’Ren Zu’. He was the first to speak languages, but he preferred the language of Chenqing. He named himself Ren Zu and named his children in that language as well. That was when humanity began to multiply. But two emerged who rejected Lucifer: the Outcast of Light and the Outcast of Darkness. He did not just possess a shadow, but mastery over all shadows, which led to his rejection because he was not created from light but from darkness, which caused him to be cast out. The other was Ornstein, who possessed Light and was called the Saint of Light. He was cast out because he was Lucifer’s twin brother. One possessed Light and could steal it from anyone, and Lucifer, who could hide the light within his darkness. No one knew where they came from. Ren Zu himself did not know his own origin and had no explanation. But when he found the two children, one had white hair and the other was intensely black and dark despite their young age. These two children did not accept each other."

"He raised them as his own sons until that incident occurred, which Chahaya forgot and does not remember how she forgot it."

She narrated these events to Clark, shocking him. He said to her: "How could anything of his will remain? Everything dissipated in that moment and became like a bright light. After that, I no longer knew the beginning from the end. Everything became like the snap of a finger."

Clark was stunned, looking at her in shock, but a question screamed in his mind: "Do you see me as your enemy?" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fıre·net

He approached her: "Tell me the truth, Princess. Did you fight on the side opposing Lucifer? Or is there a part of the story you don’t want to mention?"

She replied: "I only remember fragments of the past, and those moments make me not hate Lucifer... or you, his heir. It started–" Her head ached, cutting her off.

Suddenly, a strong light burst forth.

Clark shouted: "What’s wrong?!"

The battle was raging. Everyone was fighting. Beside him, Alisa was beginning to regain consciousness. He looked up at the sky with a furious glare.

He said: "Hahahaha! So, Will of Heaven, you oppose me and obstruct my knowledge! But..."

"Let me tell you this: as long as I live– no, not just as long as I live! No one can take my life! I will walk the path of singularity, the path of knowledge and power!"

"I will become a tyrant on earth! If everyone loves treachery, then I will be the most vile betrayer humanity has ever known!"

Clark fell silent for a moment. The sound of the wind, the blazing fire, and the intense battle below inspired him.

He said: "I live like the legendary Ping fish! I piss in the river of time, defying destiny itself! I walk among fish swimming in the sea of fate. Perhaps I am still insignificant, but I am different from them. I am an individual, and everything exists for the individual! I shatter the paths of heaven and the stars! I soar among the clouds, I piss in the flow of time, and I bathe in the blood of my enemies!"
