"They called you the Destroyer, did they?" Bai Jingshen asked with a loud laugh. "Foolish humans. The Divination God should do more. They need to know how close it was that they ca from dooming themselves."
"What are you talking about?" Bladedance asked. "What doom?"
"Have you heard of the person known as the Savior, senior Sword God?" Bai Jingshen asked. "I believe the Divination God has left behind prophecies in almost every realm."
Bladedance thought for a mont. "Maybe," she said. "I don’t pay attention to these things, but if it’s the Divination God doing so, then it should be sothing big."
"The Savior is the man who will save this world," Bai Jingshen said. "Or at least, that was what I was told. There will co a person who will save this entire world from sothing in the future, and that person is to be our savior."
Bladedance’s eyes narrowed. "And my disciple is that savior?" she asked.
Alex felt his heart beat slightly faster. He had heard it all being said before, but it still surprised him when it was brought up. And to be called as such so openly, he couldn’t help but wonder just how true it was.
"There is a good chance," Bai Jingshen said. "But the Divination God told there was another too who was equally possible. He had no way of telling."
’Another?’ Alex thought. ’Shumi?’
The only one who would be equal in possibility to the Sun God being the one to save everyone would be none other than the Moon Goddess. Could there be soone else?
Bladedance turned to Alex. "You just keep on surprising, don’t you?" she asked. "Just tell everything already, so I don’t have to learn these things once in a while."
Alex didn’t know what to say to that.
"Alright, let’s continue with what you were saying. You were thrown to Hell after this all ca out, right?" Bai Jingshen asked. "Is that the other na for the Immortal Prison realm? I can’t seem to rember."
"It is," Alex said. "That’s where I was sent, and that’s where I t Master."
"Hmm? What was the Sword God doing in the Immortal Prison realm? It’s not so place that you can escape out of so easily," Bai Jingshen said.
"It’s a long story," Bladedance said. "Thankfully, he helped get out."
"I see. And that’s why you’re so weak despite how many years it’s been," Bai Jingshen said as he nodded in understanding.
"Not... really," Alex said. "I got out of Hell quickly, just 200 years later. But... sothing happened after that."
Bai Jingshen narrowed his eyes. "What happened?"
"I... I managed to get us to escape out of Hell through the Void, but sohow along the way, we lost over a thousand years," Alex said.
"Oh! That’s... unfortunate, isn’t it?" Bai Jingshen said. "You must’ve been caught in a particularly bad region of the Void then. I hear there are places there where you could spend days and miss centuries out here."
"There are, but I wasn’t stuck in those realms. I got out of the Void too," Alex said. "Only, I don’t rember where I arrived."
"Don’t rember?" Bai Jingshen asked.
Alex nodded. "I escaped the Void over a thousand years ago. And apparently I arrived at so other location that I now have no mory of. According to Whisker and the rest that were in my Soul Space, I spent about 50 years in there. The next thing I rember, I have suddenly lost over a thousand years."
"I’ve broken through twice since then, my Origin is near ready for to break to the next realm, and I’ve helped make pills for others. But I can’t rember anything about it."
Bai Jingshen didn’t speak for a long ti. He narrowed his eyes for a long ti, considering sothing.
"Is there a seal or so foreign Qi around your Spiritual Sea?" Bai Jingshen asked.
Alex quickly checked, scanning through everything. His Spiritual Sea was just as it should be with his 8 Origins kept apart from each other, just so minor work away from permanently staying that way.
The Blood Origin had improved quite a bit as well, the tiny infant now having grown to beco a teenager. And Godslayer still remained in hibernation. From his perspective, just a little more than a century should have passed by now.
Alex made a ntal note of dealing with that issue soon.
He checked through the rest and saw nothing different. Everything appeared normal to him, and he relayed that to the White Tiger.
"No seals," Bai Jingshen said with even more curiosity now. "If there was a seal, I would’ve guessed soone had kept your mories from you. But if they are not hidden, but entirely gone, then..."
"Hmm," Bladedance frowned just then. "Now that you ntion it that way, that does sound like sothing I might know."
"Are you thinking what I’m thinking, senior?" Bai Jingshen asked. "Could he have gone there?"
Alex got curious. "Gone where?"
"I don’t know if that’s possible. Most people I know who’ve gone there have died," Bladedance said. "The few who do manage to co out do lose their mory, but they at least rember having gone there."
"But don’t they start with knowing where they’re going? So coming out, they’ll know where they’ve been to, right?" Bai Jingshen asked.
Bladedance thought for a mont and nodded. "I can see your point. You may in fact be correct. But is there a way to know for certain?"
"I do not know enough about it to know that for certain," Bai Jingshen said. "Only soone who can look into the past of another person, beyond just their mories could possibly be able to tell that. And in his case, it may only be the Divination God."
"What are you guys talking about?" Alex asked, confusion building up. "What world?"
"An Immortal world, belonging to no one. The demons call it the Ever-Collapsing Realm. We call it the Ever-Still World," Bai Jingshen said. "The humans have a different na for it, I believe."
Bladedance nodded.
"We call it the Realm within Realms."
