âThen what is that inside of the bubble?â
Astorâs consciousness reached out towards it, causing it to be absorbed into the bubble.
Astor
Alex
âThis isâ¦â
Astor was shocked to see the outside from within the bubble. To his surprise, the Kylin Phantasm within
the bubble was alive. Moving its limbs, it slowly stood up straight. It then made a deafening roar, staring
at Astor with its mouth still agapeâ¦
Astor
Alex
Astor
Alex
Realizing that Astor was reacting much, it went back to using all fours and spoke up. âItâs been so many
years since Iâve seen a living thing.â
Astor
Alex
After saying that, it even started sobbing.
Astor was stunned. âWhat are you crying for?â
Astor
Alex
The Kylin said, âYou try being stuck in here for a million years then. I didnât even go insane, and I didnât
die either. Thereâs no one here, so is it really that weird for me to tear up from happiness when another
being ends up getting sealed in the same place as I am?â
âHaha, I finally have a friend to talk to now!â
Astor froze. âWhat did you say? Youâve been stuck in here for a million years?â
Astor
Alex
âDamn!â
âI wouldnât end up getting sealed away for a million years, too, right? I just came in here without
thinking!â
âThatâs just⦠Iâd rather die! â
As the Kylin continued to cry, Astor asked, âWho shut you in here?â
Astor
Alex
The Kylin replied. âWho else? Thereâs no one else in the demon realm that could capture me, apart
from that danmed Lotus Demon!â
âUhm, the Lotus Demon you speak of⦠Are they a person?â
The Kylin blinked in confusion and suddenly stopped crying. âWere you not sealed in here by the Lotus
Demon?â
âNo, I came in here myself.â
âYou came in here yourself?â The Kylin seemed shocked. Yet after a few seconds, it seemed to have
remembered something. âCould you be⦠The legendary Great Dao Womb?â
âThe⦠What..? Huh..?â Astor nearly bit down on his own tongue.
Astor
Alex
âWhat in the hell is it saying? Great Dao Womb? I am a man. How could I have a womb?â
Just as Astor wanted to deny it, the Kylin hopped up and said, âYou jerk, how could you be so late? You
made me wait for a million years. Everyone even thought that the Lotus Demon lied about youâ¦
Whatever, my Natural willpower will be following you from now on.â
Astor
Alex
Whoosh!
The Kylin then jumped right into Astorâs consciousness.
Astor
Alex
âArgh!â Astor instantly felt as if his consciousness was being torn apart. An immeasurable pain
exploded within his soul.
Astor
Alex
The Kylinâs voice could be heard. âThis is a soul imprint, my pattern as the Kylin ancestor. From now
on, you will earn another skill called the Kylin Transformation. And I will finally regain my freedom now.â
âFreedom? Where are you going?â
âTo reincarnate!â
After that, it started yelling to the skies. âHey Lotus Demon, Iâve already imprinted my Natural Willpower
on the womb according to our contract, so that means my mission is accomplished, right? Can you free
me out of this damned place and let me reincarnate?â
Yet there was no response.
Astor spoke up. âSir, you donât have to reincarnate, you know? You can follow me. Iâll make sure you
live your best life.â
Astor
Alex
The Kylin stared at him, seemingly pitiful for a brief second. In the end, it shook its head. âItâs best that I
reincarnate. Look at me. I just have to. And you should enjoy your peaceful days.â
After a long while of waiting, the Kylin finally saw a ray of light in the middle of this space. It then rushed
over, disappearing into the white light.
âDid it really reincarnate?â Astor thought as he watched from afar. After that, his consciousness returned
back to his body.
Astor
Alex
âI wonder if the three thousand lotus flowers are hiding some kind of scheme from me? Else why would
the Kylin make that pitiful expression before leaving?â
