Chapter 1645 - 1646: Original Form
Carl fell into his memories, but the convergence of the flames in the sky was different.
"Mm, seeing an Angel is really interesting. The Gatekeeper is kind of special." Carl’s body began to emit black light, and the fifth-generation Divine Power started working on Hua Ye’s Soul Flame. Very soon, Hua Ye’s soul’s resistance weakened and turned into a purely passive defense.
"Looks like you still have a lot of things I don’t understand, but it doesn’t matter." Carl said, increasing the energy output; the entire hall was filled with dense blackness, and the burning candelabras vanished in the black mist.
Hua Ye’s soul was already completely wrapped by Li’s soul. The frail Li slowly woke up and looked at everything around him. Without needing anyone to say anything, he immediately began to absorb Hua Ye’s Soul Flame. At a speed visible to the naked eye, Li’s Soul Flame fused with Hua Ye’s soul into one.
At this moment, the black mist in the great hall was gradually absorbed by the Flame of Separation, and the separated soul began to regain its original form. Very soon, the separated soul recovered its original shape. Apart from the color being darker, everything else was the same.
"Thank you, Carl!" Don’t Move said to Carl.
"Come back. This divine body still has room to evolve. I’ll help you upgrade it." Carl seemed to sink back into his memories again.
"My God, Carl, what step have you already taken?" Li seemed to understand something and replied excitedly.
"Come, I can’t leave right now, but soon, I’ll take you out of this cage to the real place." Carl said, his eyes seeming to pierce through the hall’s heavy doors, staring at some place in the universe.
"Do you regret leaving?" Carl looked at Li Lianjie and asked. Li Lianjie had already merged into Hua Ye’s body.
"My God, Carl, even if I die again, I will never regret it!" The reply came quickly.
Carl didn’t speak; he just kept staring at the universe outside the hall. He possessed the most powerful force in the universe, yet he was confined within this hall. Day after day he faced inexhaustible candle flames and endless darkness.
"My God, Carl, you don’t have to worry, we’re only trapped here for now. As long as you take that step, the universe will become our memories."
I seemed to understand Carl’s thoughts.
"Yes, as long as I take that step, I can once again break out of the cage and go to the place of the true Gods!" Carl’s emotions, rarely, slipped out of control.
Carl’s mood shifted, and the entire hall began to fill with black mist again. The blue veins on Carl’s skin were clearly visible, and his sickly pale skin made him look even more terrifying.
"I’ve been trapped here for tens of thousands of years. At the beginning, it was extremely difficult to break out of the abyss. The destruction was too severe; we lost the chance to go to God’s world and were stuck in this God-making place!" Carl seemed to remember it vividly.
"But we still have a chance. There hasn’t been any movement in the abyss for a long time. Looks like no one is coming!" Don’t Move said as he walked up to Carl.
"They don’t want to come, precisely because I left; they gave the nobles a chance. They want me to never go back. Haha, nothing but frogs at the bottom of the well." Carl laughed with contempt.
"My God Carl, what do we need to do now to reach God’s land?" Li said devoutly. Ever since he came out of the abyss to save Carl, Li had resolved to live for Carl’s dream.
"No rush for now. Go upgrade your body first. It’s also time for you to leave this Angel King’s body behind. I’m waiting for you to use this corpse to take revenge on Ye Lingyun!" Carl said, gently stroking the black wings.
"At the same time, I hope you can uncover more of the body’s secrets. The Angel Family is the designated Cosmic Guardian, and also God’s best trial and protector stationed in this God-making place. If we want to go to that world, we must thoroughly research Angels." After Carl finished speaking, he shifted his gaze away, and his face once again turned completely bloodless.
"My God Carl, I understand. I will take revenge. It’s just, Ye Lingyun’s origin? He’s really strange!" Li was full of doubts about this war as well.
"For now I can conclude that he is also an experimental subject from a Creation Plan. He doesn’t have the universe’s origin, yet he cannot be restricted by the universe’s rules." Carl also voiced his own analysis of Ye Lingyun.
Hearing Carl’s words, Li’s face changed as well. He was shocked and said, "Ye Lingyun is a Shenzhou person?"
Hearing Li’s guess, Carl said nothing and only shook his head lightly.
The hall was still heavy with dark tones. Carl sat on the sofa and said softly, "I don’t even understand myself. How am I supposed to explain it so others can?"
"But we can be sure that Ye Lingyun comes from a universe where a true God resides. Only a true God can freely bestow all kinds of genes on ordinary people without any rejection." Carl seemed to use his immense power just to finish this sentence, then said nothing more, quietly staring at the book in his hands.
"My God Carl, I understand. Once my body is transformed, I’ll lead troops to visit Ye Lingyun for a bit. Even if he comes from a higher civilization, in the face of the Master of the Abyss he will still submit to ultimate terror!" Big Mouth said, patting his chest.
"All right, that’s fine. And it won’t be just you fighting alone. I’ve also communicated with beings outside the universe. Now the Angels are on Earth. Mogana, Yan, Caesar—none of them can block my path!" After Carl finished speaking, the hall fell silent again, and then he departed.
The hall’s doors opened and sunlight streamed in. Carl wrapped his robe tightly around himself, and the doors quickly shut again. Don’t Move understood Carl’s situation. Very soon, the sunlight was chased down and devoured by the darkness in the hall, the doors sealed tight. In the end, even that last ray of light was shrouded by the darkness. Carl lowered the hand that had been shielding his face.
His fists clenched tightly. He had been trapped in this hall for far too long. This hall protected him, and restrained him. That was also why he rarely appeared elsewhere. Only when he truly grasped the Angel’s secrets could he genuinely step into this universe, and go to the God’s place he yearned for.
At this moment, inside Taoyuan Camp. Disaster was staring at the virtual animals inside the cage before them. It was an extremely hideous creature.
Ye Lingyun had been marching with the combat squad for several days, during which they hadn’t encountered any obstacles. Any anti-major forces, upon seeing such a large unit, would choose to avoid them, not wanting to be an egg thrown against a rock.
"Ah, Rose, we’ve been walking for days and still haven’t run into anything. Sirius shows no movement either. It seems to have left Earth’s atmosphere. Can you let me go back to see my girlfriend?" Ye Lingyun was bound up by this boring life.
In these days, he summoned Angels by day and stood guard by night. Even with his powerful genes, he couldn’t stand such a dull routine.
"All right, if there’s nothing going on after you finish your watch tonight, you can head to the North Star first." Rose sat on the small truck, speaking to Ye Lingyun, who was lying in front of the tank.
"Harley, let’s go!" As soon as Ye Lingyun heard that he could go see his little fox, he snapped awake. He wanted to run back to camp to take a shower. Lately, Ye Lingyun had been constantly on the road; he’d been covered in dust for far too long. He didn’t want his Xiao Hu to see him looking so worn-out and lifeless.
"This boy, ah, when is he ever going to grow up?" Rose also felt helpless.
At this moment, the seven people sitting in the back of the small truck all gave wry smiles. Compared to Ye Lingyun’s easygoing nature, as soldiers, even at the ends of the earth, they would never forget their duty.
